We are live at the courthouse following every detail. An alleged Serial Killer in court. Just one hour from now the man accused of the Gilgo Beach Murders makes his second court appearance. He is charged now in three killings. The suspect in a fourth. Now his wife is telling cnn about the Police Search for evidence. And moscow under attack. A second drone strike there in as many days. More on ukraines apparent strategy as it unleashes on russian soil. We are following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to Cnn News Central. This is a live look outside of the federal courthouse here in washington, d. C. , where the grand jury is convening right now in the Special Counsels investigation of efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Donald trump and his legal team now face the very real possibility that an indictment is about to drop. The former president himself predicting on his truth social account that charges could come any day now. And we are just learning new details on how trump and his advisers are preparing, including how they plan to publicly respond. And as that indictment looms we are learning about new Key Developments in the maralago classified documents case. In a court filing monday the Special Counsels team said they have obtained new Surveillance Footage connected to the new charges against trump and his two codefendants, Aide Walt Nauta and carlos de oliveira, who is maralagos property manager. De oliveira made his First Court Appearance yesterday and was released on a 100,000 bond. Lets begin, though, live with our coverage with the very latest on this grand jury meeting happening right now in washington. We have Cnns Katelyn Polantz outside the federal courthouse. What are you seeing there, katelyn . Reporter well, brianna, the grand jury is in. The prosecutors are very likely here in this building working with them from the Special Counsels office. They broke for lunch. They had lunch. And theyre back at work in that secret proceeding. Now, this grand jury, we are watching so closely because they have had quite a bit of momentum over the past couple weeks. Donald trump received that Target Letter saying he was very likely to be indicted by the Special Counsel investigation around the 2020 election, and since then his lawyers had a meeting with Special Counsel jack smith and then the grand jury has been back last thursday and then again today. We dont know exactly what theyre doing inside that room. But at some point in time the Justice Department is very likely to present to the grand jurors the proposed indictment, the proposed charges they have after collecting all of that evidence through the grand jury proceeding and asking the grand jurors to potentially approve charges against donald trump and perhaps even others he was working with after the 2020 election when he wanted to block the transfer of power to joe biden and maintain the presidency for himself both in Battleground States and in congress as congress was meeting for the electoral college. So a lot to watch here. But we just wont be seeing much at all until theyre ready. And when theyre ready, we are watching a magistrate judge, that courtroom. We are also watching other judges in the building to see if a case would emerge publicly and then we would have charges to look at. And brianna, we dont though exactly what those charges would be, but they do appear they could be quite substantial around conspiracy, obstruction, deprivation of rights, major accusations to make against donald trump from when he was in the presidency. And we also are waiting to see exactly what details would be in a potential indictment and of course when it will be public. Brianna . Yeah. And we are waiting for that. The Special Counsel is now saying it has new Surveillance Footage from the maralago from maralago thats linked to the new Obstruction Charges filed last week against trump and two codefendants in the documents case. What more can you tell us about it . Reporter right, brianna, so this is a substantial case about donald trump after he leaves the presidency in florida at maralago, accused of retaining National Defense secrets and trying to keep them from the federal government, hide them essentially. All of that now the Justice Department is able to turn over evidence that theyve collected. Theyve turned over Surveillance Tapes before. They had lots of Surveillance Tapes from maralago in building that case and just disclosed yesterday that they got even more Surveillance Tapes around this alleged Obstruction Scheme after they indicted donald trump in june. And the purpose of what the Justice Department is finding there is theyre trying to piece together what people who were working for donald trump were doing as they were trying to get rid of essentially Surveillance Tapes that would have captured the movement of boxes inside the maralago resort. So we get this new tidbit from the Justice Department and it is a teaser essentially of what we would be seeing at a trial. Surveillance tapes seem to be the very thing that might be played for a jury when donald trump and his codefendants go to trial and we see things like what the Justice Department is accusing them of, carrying around flashlights, looking at Surveillance Cameras, moving boxes on those tapes and also crawling through bushes. Brianna . Well, that is something. Katelyn polantz live for us here in washington. Thank you. Jim . Another investigation of trump, state investigation, this in georgia, new signs fulton District Attorney fani willis soon could file charges in the Election Interference Probe there. An independent journalist in atlanta now says he received a subpoena to appear before the grand jury there. He discovered a meeting of Fake Trump Electors at the Georgia State capitol in december of 2020. And this just in to cnn, a former Georgia Democratic State Senator has received subpoenas to testify before the grand jury there later this month. Cnns sara murray joins us now. So sara, first tell us about the importance of this journalists testimony specifically and what he witnessed on that day in December 2020. Sure. Well, i mean, george chidi is an independent journalist in atlanta. We interviewed him for a documentary we did about the georgia case, and he sort of stumbled upon the republican fake electors meeting at the Georgia State capitol. He essentially got kicked out of the room where they were meeting. He was told they were meeting about an education matter, which of course was not the case. Hes somebody who already testified before the special grand jury, again, the one that was collecting evidence but that couldnt issue indictments in georgia about what he saw. So hes an important witness for fani willis in regards to her inquiry in the fake elector probe. When you look at jen jordan, who is this former Democratic State senator, shes the one who, again, was a State Senator in December 2020 when Rudy Giuliani and this whole band of trump allies showed up and made a presentation before State Lawmakers that was riddled with conspiracy theories. We know thats another element of this that fani willis has been looking at in her investigation. Again, jen jordan shared what she knew with the special grand jury that was collecting evidence. And shes now gotten a new subpoena to appear before a regular grand jury in august. And jim, these subpoenas are important both to chidi and jen jordan because this is the strongest signal yet that willis is actually going to be seeking indictments. You dont line people up, you dont pull together a grand jury presentation unless you are going to go before a grand jury and ask them to issue an indictment. Again, she hasnt made any announcements about who if anyone could face charges. We expect that to come at some point this month. But this is a very strong signal about where shes headed. Sara murray, thanks so much. Joining me now is former federal prosecutor elliot williams. Elliot, i think for folks at home its often hard to keep track of the number of investigations but also to place them into context. Lets speak about georgia first. So witnesses before the grand jury there testifying, we are told, to a meeting to present fake electors. Georgia voted one way. That then leads to electors representing the actual winner in that state, joe biden. But there was an effort to seek fake electors. Have we ever seen this before . What would be the significance of these charges if the grand jury finds sufficient evidence to indict . Well, to answer your first question, jim, no, we have not seen any of this. The point of a grand jur is its an investigative tool that hears evidence, working with prosecutors to ultimately bring charges against an individual. Now, the specifics of the fake electors scheme, this meeting with this journalist who has been called before the grand jury, its potentially very devastating evidence because, number one, apparently someone in the room lies to this journalist and says were having an Education Meeting when in fact it was a meeting of fake electors. That there, that lying right there is itself evidence of knowledge of criminality. They know theyre doing something wrong and had to lie about it and had to keep that meeting secret. It is quite significant that this individual who witnessed what is going on in there could have testimony. Now, its a little complicated. Hes a journalist. And anytime as you know well, jim, anytime a journalist is asked to come before the criminal Justice System is he going to be asked to give up sources or his notes and that gets a little tricky. But it is potentially quite important evidence. Okay. So what we are looking at today is the possibility of a decision from the Special Counsel about federal charges against the former president and his allies, both in relation to january 6th but also an effort to overturn the results and not just in georgia but in a number of states in the 2020 election. Again, folks at home, theyve heard of a lot of indictments in recent weeks and months. What would be the significance if the federal if the Special Counsel here and the grand jury found sufficient evidence to charge the former president either or perhaps both, over his role on january 6th or an effort to overturn the election . Quite significant. Again, rewind once again. What we were just talking about a second ago was georgia. The state of georgia investigating violations of the law of the state of georgia. What were talking about now in the context of january 6th are federal crimes and potentially crimes such as conspiracy to defraud the United States, potentially conspiracy to interfere with voters and their ability to cast votes. This is under the laws of the United States. This is all significant, jim, because these are all investigations of a former president or any high government official. Its particularly significant because you would now have a second federal indictment. Thats the United States department of justice, having established two grand juries that i talked about a moment ago, that theres at least probable cause to believe that crimes are committed, that they think they can convict him of. So that is enormous significance. We know with cnns reporting that the trump team is already preparing its responses to this. Theyve even said it will be quite similar to their responses to other indictments. And the commonality of those has been that this is a biased investigation, et cetera, et cetera. We do know, however, that republican lawmakers including Georgia Legislators and in other states have been called to testify here. Presumably the evidence well, we know that the evidence we know that the witnesses that have come before this grand jury have spanned the parties. Would the Special Counsel make a special effort here to make sure that the evidence was not confined to one party or the other . You know, perhaps. I think more than anything else in order to get a case past a grand jury you have to establish ill use the term i used a moment ago. Probable cause that a crime has been committed. At least the grand jurys convinced a crime was committed if theyve approved charges. So the idea that its all tainted by politics is sort of undermined by the fact that a grand jury and then ai judge is going to here the case thereafter and sort of wash away some of the stink of politics. And again, more to the point, jim, in order to convict somebody of a crime you then have to get it past a regular jury, whats called a petit jury of just ordinary citizens. There are many checks along the way. I recognize that politicians are going to make arguments that the whole process is tainted. But there are many, many checks built in to ensure that politics does not infect charging decisions. And weve seen the Public Comments of some of those whove been called before this grand jury as well. Elliot williams, thanks so much as always. Much to watch. Brianna . Certainly is. So here in less than an hour we will be watching this. The suspect in the gilgo beach serial killings is going to be in court on long island. This is Rex Heuermanns first appearance since pleading not guilty to the murders of three women. Police believe heuermann committed the killings inside of his familys home when his wife and two children were out of town. And after an intensive search of the property his wifes attorney shared these photos of the aftermath. And hes telling cnn that his client had no idea that all of this was going on in her home. Everything in the house was turned upside down. Dresser drawers were emptied out. The bathroom tub, which was a vinyl tub, was actually cut open. The floors were ripped up. The couches and the mattresses have been removed. And just piles and piles of debris that were left in the residence where you barely had Walking Space to get into the house. Its been extremely overwhelming for her and the children trying to piece life back together, what it was 2 1 2 weeks ago. I dont know if theyre ever going to return to normalcy. Cnns Brynn Gingras is joining us live outside of the courthouse where this is expected to happen here shortly. Brynn, what are you expecting today . So brianna, this is a judges conference. Essentially, were expecting to hear the attorneys discuss matters with this next step, in what will likely be a very long Legal Process for Rex Heuermann. He is expected to appear in court today when this conference hearing gets started at about 2 00. But were not expecting some major headlines. One of the things were keeping an eye out for and certainly one we hope to ask the District Attorney, who is expected to make some comments after this hearing, is whether those new charges are going to be, you know if hes going to face those new charges for that fourth woman whose body was discovered amongst the other victims, the gilgo four as they were notoriously known as. Remember Rex Heuermann is the Prime Suspect in that case. Walk us through these photos released by the family attorney. Yeah. I just actually want to note that Rex Heuermanns attorney did just arrive to court. So again, this hearing is going to get started around 2 00. We are still expecting that. As far as those photos, you can see the amount the intensity really of the Police Investigation that took place inside the heuermann home. Remember, sources are telling cnn they do believe its possible some of those murders happened inside that home. So its really not too surprising that they scoured through every inch of that place looking for any possible evidence that could be tied not only to the murders that heuermann is charged with but ones that are still being investigated, not only here on long island but also in other states as we know it. So it is it was a situation of disarray. The wife of Rex Heuermann, soon to be exwife, telling the New York Post this is her home and this is all she has. And of course upset and unsettling to come back to a home where everything is sort of dug up as police concluded that investigation, which you know we know lasted loft two weeks there, just at the home alone. And this fourth woman, its the gilgo four, hes been charged in three as you mentioned. Is there any update on the case of this fourth woman where Rex Heuermann is the Prime Suspect for her murder . Yeah, this is the question we keep on asking the District Attorney. Like i said, we are expecting him to make some comments after this hearing and they will be asked again. It was our understanding from sources that they are still waiting to get some dna processed, which does take time, in order to then possibly make those charges. And so it is just a matter of time, according to our sources, of when this additional Murder Charge is going to be filed. But certainly well work to get an update on that for you, brianna. Well be looking for that. Brynn gingras, thank you for the latest. Jim . Ukrainian drones strike moscow once again. The kremlin says it will take steps to prevent future attacks.

Com hire ukraines president said straight up that war would increasingly strike russian territory. And some new damage in the Capital Moscow seems to prove that is happening. The kremlin says ukraine attempted another drone strike on the very same building damaged sunday by a drone. The 50story highrise is in a financial district, houses some russian government offices as well. Cnn military analyst retired air force colonel Cedric Leighton joins us now. Good to have you, sir. When you look at strikes like this, some of the damage there in moscow, is there a Military Function to striking inside ukrainian territory, or is this largely about morale and message sending . Its definitely about morale and message sending, jim. But given the fact there are some Government Entities in this complex, there could be potentially a Military Target here. So it is potentially a valid target, especially if the Ukrainian Intelligence Services have picked up certain traffic from these areas. Its very possible that they could have a legitimate cause to do this. And presumably there would be benefit to it not being a civilian target given how many times russia has struck civilian targets in ukraine to Great International outcry. Absolutely. And the key thing is ukraine has to retain as much of the moral high ground as they possibly can. If they dont they lose they risk losing a lot of support. And this kind of event, you know, would become a dangerous event for them to conduct. This is a video of the drone program, which ukraines proven very adept at using both for surface and striking russian targets. One thing, when you look at the overall progress on the battlefield, this goes all the way back to the start of the invasion. Folks at home who perhaps dont check this out every day will notice that the map has not changed significantly in recent months despite enormous losses, particularly on this part of the battlefield in the east here around bakhmut where weve seen a lot of the most intense fighting. And we have seen Ukrainian Forces pick up some ground. Thats a closeup look. This pulling back a little bit. But not a huge amount of ground. And i wonder does this Raise Concerns for you about the slow progress of the ukrainian counteroffensive . Absolutely. Im a veteran of the iraq war, and its one of those areas where you look at as much rapid progress as you can possibly achieve in the shortest amount of time. So this kind of warfare is something thats personally anathema to me. I believe that if you move fafa forces quickly, if you can envelop the enemy forces in areas like this you can make progress. You about the ukrainians dont have the luxury to do that. They dont have the weapons systems, the personnel, they dont have the strategy or the training to do that. Or at least they didnt have that earlier. But they were able to do some things in previous phases of the war that allowed them to take a lot of territory. The problem is they let the russians stay in place and dig in. And dig in. Theres multiple lines of defense. Heavily mined. Literally Trench Warfare in here, other tank traps, et cetera. You just said they dont have the weapons, or at least enough weapons, and they dont have enough trains forced, highly trained forces to break through, particularly when you look at what we know was one of their big goals here, and that was to break through the socalled land bridge between Eastern Ukraine and crimea here. If they dont have those weapons today, does that indicate to you that theyre never going to break through . I think they will break through at some point. Or at least they have the chance to break through. They have made some progress around robotyne and theyre moving toward tokmak right now. What their goal is, theres a highway that goes along the coast right in through here and actually it intersects up through melit pohl pohl. One goes to zaporizhzhia and the other branch to crimea. Theres the goal right here, they want to cut this highway, and if they can do that, they have some Artillery Pieces that they can use. And of course theyre looking for the atacm system. They dont have that yet. But they do have storm shadow which allows them to do certain things. The other thing that they are looking for of course are the f16s. And if they get the f16s they can do r do a lot of things in this particular area. They need that kind of power, air power specifically, in order to change the dynamics of this battlefield. And russians have maintained not necessarily air superiority but certainly air capabilities there. Just going to go back to the time lapse as i ask this final question here, again, going all the way back to last year. And we dont want to minimize progress because by the way, this whole area was russian held and ukrainians took that back last fall. Thats right. But as that battlefield looks more and more similar, is there more political pressure on ukraine to say hey, youve gotten as far as you can, maybe nows the time to discuss land for peace . I think youre going to see that kind of pressure. Weve got that meeting in saudi arabia that the saudis are sponsoring with ukraines support. And it seems as if theres a movement in that space right now. So what could happen is, you know, these areas right here, some of them may stay under russian control. And that would not be acceptable to a lot of ukrainians given the sacrifices theyve made. Like you said, theyve captured basically about 50 of the territory that the russians had earlier, in 2022. But the remaining 50 , thats going to be the difficulty and thats going to really challenge them politically and militarily. No question. Cedric leighton, thanks so much. And of course the issue there president zelenskyy has said as much. Hes said were not going to stop until we have all of our territory back. Well see, is he able to keep that promise . Well be watching closely. Brianna. All right. Haitians coming out in Droves Marching for the american nurse and her daughter who were kidnapped in haiti on thursday. One sign carried by a girl reading the free school is no more. Free the nurse. That nurse, Alix Dorsainvil, is seen here with her husband, sandro. And the nonprofit that he founded said that the kidnappers took dorsainvil while she was tending to patients on the campus of the school. An eyewitness said that he saw one of the abductors hold out a gun. He told the associated press, when i saw the gun i was so scared. I said i dont want to see this. Let me go. Cnns Jason Carroll is in the area where Alix Dorsainvil grew up, that is middletown, New Hampshire. Jason, what more are you learning about this kidnapping . And im sure this is an area where people are just, you know, devastated by what theyre seeing about this woman from their hometown being kidnapped. Reporter as you can imagine, there are a lot of prayers here for dorsainvil and her daughter. Well see if some of those protests that you mentioned there going on in haiti put any sort of pressure on what is happening behind the scenes. I can tell you that el roi haiti, that is the faithbased humanitarian organization that dorsainvil and her husband work for, they put out a statement which says theyve been working diligently not only with haitian officials but with u. S. Officials as well. But they caution, brianna, that theyre really not able to say much about whatever efforts are going on behind the scenes because their feeling is that that could jeopardize whatever efforts are being made. And thats the same sentiment we heard in d. C. , not only from the State Department but from National Security officials as well. We want to see her released. We want to see her back home with her family where she belongs. But again, i think its probably the most prudent thing for us to do to not publicly talk about those efforts in any great detail as the situation is still precare crouse. Were all very, very mindful of her case and certainly mindful that she has a young child with her and doing everything we can. Reporter some more details coming from el roi haiti about dorsainvil. Shes been on staff there since 2020 working as a school and community nurse. She first visited haiti back in 2010, right after that devastating earthquake there. The State Department once again in Constant Contact with their haitian counterparts. But once again, for Security Reasons not many details being put out about what efforts are being made behind the scenes. No details about who is holding her and her daughter and why. Brianna .

New details now on what police say was a potential Mass Shooting averted in memphis. A gunman allegedly tried to enter a Jewish School there, but when he could not get in he opened fire outside the building. The suspect later shot by police. Cnns ryan young has been following this for us. Ryan, goodness. A close call. So how exactly was the shooter averted . Reporter right. The details to this are quite scary, jim, as you understand. So many kids going Back To School in the near future all across this country. So this really puts this in the forefront. Apparently, the gunman showed up to the school and tried to gain entry. And because of Safety Protocols that they have at that school they were able to stop him from getting on the inside. During that time, though, the Surveillance Cameras at that school were able to take pictures of the man, and they were able to put the pictures to police so they could get an accurate description of the suspect. At some point he got so frustrated about the idea that he couldnt get in he started shooting. Listen to the 911 release tape that we gojust today about this 911 call when the shooter showed up. An Armed Part390 south y sta. The hebrew academy. He originally calleding theres a male in a Lime Green Shirt on the property armed with a gun. Hes now advised we need officers to go to every jewish facility in the city of memphis with that broadcast and description in case he tries another facility. Reporter you understand the seriousness behind this. The fbi, the tbi, the Memphis Police department all working on this case right now. We are told a former student apparently was pulled over at some point and when he exited his truck he had a weapon. The officer opened fire. Now hes in critical condition. Jim, we should say they believe hes a former student whos also jewish who arrived at that school yesterday with that gun with whoever knows what intent. But this just highlights the reason why schools have to have these protocols to be able to avert situations like this. This was a close call obviously yesterday, but all the Security Protocols worked and now we have to start waiting for the tbi, the fbi to dig into this persons background to figure out exactly what the motivation was. You said Security Protocols. Was it as simple, for instance, as a locked door . Reporter well, they havent exposed everything to us just yet because apparently there are certain layers at that school. But one of the things they talked about was there may have been some sort of double locked door situation at that school that stopped someone from just buzzing right on in. But of course that would be more for the investigators to kind of figure out and lay out as we start looking into this. Relief. A close call, ryan young. Thanks so much for following. Brianna.

Well, much of the runoff from the heavy snow and rain across the Rocky Mountain west this past year is actually disappearing into thin air. And this loss has been going on for years. According to researchers at ucla, rising temperatures have sucked up more than 10 trillion gallons of water from the Colorado River basin from 2000 to 2021. And this is critical because that river supplies drinking and Irrigation Water to seven western states with some 40 million people. Cnns lucy kafanov joins us from denver. Lucy, this is interesting because folks have taken some comfort seeing the big snowfall, for instance, in the past season to help address the many issues were seeing from rising global temperatures. But here you see a lot of thats just disappearing. Thats a problem. Reporter yeah. I mean, it aint magic. Its climate change. And whats most concerning, jim, is its specifically the humancaused Climate Crisis that is resulting in these devastating water flow reductions. 10 trillion gallons, if you think about it, is enough to fill lake mead. This is a massive amount of water thats being lost, evaporated, lost because of these rising temperatures. And this new study that you mentioned from researchers at ucla shows that the Colorado Rivers first ever Water Shortage that was declared a few years ago would not have been declared if it wasnt for anthropogenic warming. Now, these researchers found this 10 reduction in flow remained consistent even in wetter years. And this is of course counterintuitive. Thats what youre talking about. Weve seen more rain, weve seen water levels rise, and still counterintuitively they are getting lower and lower, theres less water to go round. Interestingly there was another study down by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research which projected an 11. 7 decrease in the annual stream flow. Also because of climate change. Different methodology. They came to the same con cloogs. And this is of course having some very reallife impacts on people who live out west especially because of those mandatory water cuts to the amount of water that farmers for example are allowed to use. I spoke to one such farmer in arizona. Take a listen. Im very worried about the future because if we keep losing water we cant pump groundwater forever, and then wheres food coming from, wheres our cotton coming from . You cant just move and pick and hope everything works out. Youve got to plan for the future. And just kicking the can down the road and hoping for the best is what everyone seems to be doing. I dont think is a path for success. So im very worried about it. And it is worrying because even though weve had this incredibly wet winter here in colorado, i mean, its rained almost every evening, its incredibly wet, that has helped lake meads levels inch up this summer, but these researchers are telling cnn that basically unless Greenhouse Gases are significantly curbed we will have less and less water available as temperatures continue to rise. This is a longterm problem. One good winter is not going to create a solution. Jim . Well, listen, every day we see more evidence of the very real world effects of the warming temperatures.

But its also a wakeup call for team usa as they were inches from being bounced from the world cup. Team usa advanced to the Knockout Round of 16. It was not pretty, however. The twotime defending champions barely got past portugal. Cnns coy wire is with us now. Okay. Is it panic time . Do they need to get their stuff together . They need to get their heads on straight . Whats going on . Yes, yes, and yes. Good to see you. I first saw team usa play in person at the 2015 world cup in vancouver and this current team seems to be struggling to find the chemistry and passion weve seen from them. They needed to tie or win in order to advance against portugal here. They were this close, preyanna, to being sent back home to the u. S. Check this out. Hardly any time left, in the 91st minute of the match and portugal lets loose a rocket that barely catches the post here and ricochets away from the net. Team usa, they had six shots on goal. They were unable to score. This is just the sixth time ever the u. S. Didnt score in a world cup match and you can see, it so nearly cost them everything. The 00 draw was good enough to advance to the Knockout Round. Rapinoe and morgan are celebrating the win by dancing afterwards, others taking selfies and smiling with fans and didnt set well with carli lloyd who blasted the team after the match. Listen. Today was just simply uninspiring, disappointing, they dont look fit. Theyre playing as individuals. Its okay to be confident but never want to cross the line of being arrogant and this is exactly what can come and bite you. Now the head coach said that questioning the teams mentality and willingness to compete is insane, brianna, his words. Take a look at lloyds former teammate kelley ohara, a member of the last two world cup championship squads, laying into the team. This team is young. 14 of the 23 players on this squad are playing in their first world cup ever. They were the favorite to win it all coming in, looking to become the first nation tov threepeat as world cup champs. Maybe this was the exact wakeup call this team needed. Next up will be a familiar foe, most likely a match against sweden. 5 00 a. M. Sunday. They were in the same group in the last five world cups and sweden beat them in the last two olympics so they better get their head on straight and bring it the next match coming up.
