General garland, and others singled out by the fani willis expects to seek more than a dozen indictments into her Election Interference Probe of donald trump. Also tonight, a live report from maui, walls of flames sweeping the island. At least six people have already been killed. Good evening, everyone. John king sitting in for anderson. Breaking news tops our hour. The killing of a utah man by police trying to arrest him. Page af page of craig robersons social media describing who he would allegedly kill and how. Cnns Shimon Prokupecz joins us live with more. Also senior Law Enforcement analyst, deputy director, Andrew Mccabe. Shimon, walk us through what happened today. There was a lot of concern given that the president was coming to utah. And that set off a chain of events. First, the suspect here, craig robertson, on monday, the fbi saw that he posted a message on facebook saying that the president was coming to utah and that basically it was time for him to take action. He wrote that, i hear biden is coming to utah. Digging out my old gilly suit, a camouflage item, and Cleaning Dust off the m24 sniper rifle. And he says, welcome buffoon in chief. Seeing this post, the fbi decided it was time to move in and take him off the street. This is a man they had been monitoring since march because of other threats that he had posted. Most significant, what really started all this was a threat that he posted against the Manhattan District Attorney here in New York City, alvin bragg, because hes been investigating the former president , donald trump. So, he posts this facebook message about wanting to essentially come to New York City and kill the d. A. So, the fbi gets alerted to this posting. And that is what starts this investigation back in march. They start doing surveillance on him. They even go over to talk to him in march. They approach him. They see him. Hes wearing a trump hat. They talk to him. They say, hey, were on to you. Whats going on . He then lists threats against the fbi, those agents who came to his home. So, this goes on for several months. But finally, today, this morning, the fbi moving in because out of concern that with the president Visiting Utah and what this man was saying he was planning, they decided to move in. There was a confrontation. He pointed a gun at them, and then they say they shot and killed him. Remarkable, Andrew Mccabe listening there. Shimon walking through the threats this man made, graphic and specific. Help us with context. You hear the president , the Vice President , the attorney general, the manhattan d. A. How does it fit into the context of other Public Officials threatened over the years . John, people say angry things about political leaders every day on social media. And those statements are typically completely protected by the first amendment. What makes this individual different is he is articulating graphic, specific violent threats, right . And then the thats what initiates the fbi investigation. And in the course of that investigation, he rebuffs all efforts to speak to him. And then he starts to threaten the fbi agents who came to his house. He continues to make essentially Death Threats against alvin brag, kamala harris, joe biden, gavin newsom, and shows actual proof of his ability to do so. Hes posting photographs of nine Assault Weapons someplace in his residence, presumably. He says he has a gilly suit and a sniper rifle and then posts a photograph of himself with a gilly suit and a sniper rifle. So, this was a very logical investigation of somebody who is escalating along that cycle of potential violence. And the fbi finally had to step in knowing that a conflict with the president of the United States might be in the offing. And then you have the unfortunate result of that encounter today. Help us understand how Law Enforcement deals with this. Nobody is directly tying the former president to this. But in the charging documents, the fbi does include one thread posted online in which the man here refers to himself as a maga trumper. You cant ignore the overlap, the people he was threating with people the former president has gone af in speeches and his own online posts. Number one, how do you connect the dots, i guess, between free speech and potential threats . And what does Law Enforcement do about that . Its really hard, john. They are in such a tough spot now, the fbi, dhs, other Law Enforcement entities. They are monitoring all kinds of extremist rhetoric, threatening rhetoric online every single day. Their job is to figure out who is an actual threat and who are the rest of the people who are just boasting or chest pounding or whatever theyre doing online. That is not an exact science. Its something that they literally have to monitor every day. Now, i will also say that this is a perfect example of a case that shows how responsible, careful political leaders of both parties are very careful not to engage in this sort of violent rhetoric and targeting speech that we hear from donald trump very frequently. And the reason is that the most extreme supporters of those political leaders and certainly those who follow donald trump, we have seen will actually follow through on some of these comments. We know that from the january 6 people who showed up on the capitol on january 6. Many of them said, we came because donald trump told us. So, this person is a perfect example of what happens when someone like donald trump encourages this sort of rhetoric, targets people online. Some of his most extreme supporters get that targeting message, and they are prepared to act upon it. That is deadly dangerous. Shimon prokupecz, Andrew Mccabe, appreciate your time tonight. Separately, cnn has learned the Fulton County d. A. Recent received additional security clearance. In her probe in Election Interference by the former president. Paula reid has more on those stories as well, as new documents surfacing. Lets start with the Fulton County district attorney. What are you learning about what she is expecting to present to the grand jury. Fani willis long Running Investigation into overturning the results in georgia appears to be coming to a head next week. We expect that over the course of two days next week, she will present her case to a regular grand jury that can vote on indictments. And we learned that she is contemplating charges that include conspiracy, racketeering, and rico. Again, these are statelevel charges. So, this case might look a little bit different than what weve seen at the federal level. John, the biggest question a lot of people have is, of course, will the former president be charged. We dont know for sure. But even his own attorneys have said they expect he will be indicted in georgia next week. And paula reid we also have this new internal Trump Campaign memo. What details do we get here about this plot to overturn the election . This is really the missing piece in terms of understanding the roadmap that trump and his allies laid out to try to overturn the results of the election. Now, this specific memo was authored by protrump attorney Kenneth Cheese borrow. He is also coconspirator number five in the indictment brought by the Special Counsel last week. And in this memo, he lays out a strategy to try to subvert the electoral process by installing these slates of fake electors and then designing a plan where the Vice President could count those votes. Now, this has been mentioned in the indictment but never publicly reported. Paula reid, grateful for that reporting. Joining us to discuss, our cnn legal analyst, the former manhattan chief district attorney. Lets start with fani willis. You hear paula reids reporting. 12 indictments. Does that mean 12 people in your view . That makes sense that she would indict around 12 people given what we know about the sweeping nature of her case and her investigation. And at a certain point, though, its hard to put 12 defendants and all of their lawyers at a table in a courtroom. So, they might get broken up, or she might have even broken them up logistically like that. It makes sense that there will be an indictment with around a dozen people, charging them with this entire scheme to have a fake elector slate in georgia. You hear is reporting that she has added security. Youve seen the images of the added barriers and such around the Fulton County courthouse. We start the program with this Breaking News story out of utah, very disturbing story. The fbi trying to arrest, ultimately shooting, a gentleman who posted online threats at the attorney general, the Vice President. From a prosecutors perspective, the moment youre trying to do your job and all this. It doesnt help that donald trump puts these threats out over and over and over again. I mean, it starts january 6 when everyone who stormed the capitol felt they were following his lead. And he didnt stop them for 187 minutes. In fact, at 224 24 in the afternoon, he tweeted another tweet that sort of exacerbated it. And then look at alvin bragg, where he posted a picture of himself holding a baseball bat next to alvin braggs head. And then he claims, oh, it was not a threat. I was just advertising for americanmade baseball bats. Nobody believes that. And we see the tweet that he did the day after he was released from custody in the most recent indictment, the jan 6 indictment, where he says, ill come after you if you come after me or whatever that phrase was. Those are the Dog Whistle Calls to his followers. They know what hes asking for. They know theyre threats and theyre all laughing in everybodys face that we cant stop him. So, the people, like this extreme person who got into the confrontation with the fbi today, hes just theyre hearing the message from donald trump. And its scary. Its terrifying. It has to stop. And hopefully judge chutkan will put a stop to it at a hearing this week. Whats your take on this Campaign Memo obtained by the new york times. Kenneth cheese bro is putting together this fake elector plot. He voices skepticism himself this is legally viable. In jack Smith Building Election Interference case or anyone else building an Election Interference case, whats the legal significance of an attorney saying this might not pass muster. The memo is amazing because theres this juxtaposition in there. On the one hand, he says this is a bold move that might not pass the muster of the supreme court. He also says an important strategy is we have to make this business as usual, make this routine. You know, hes signaling to them in there. He knows that this isnt going to fly. And its the roadmap for this literally its a crime, right . And its important for jack smith. It gives a roadmap for the prosecutors in terms of what their thinking was, how they were going to go about it. And it takes away the he said she said in any trial when you have to talk when you have a witness who says, oh, so and so told me such and such. You dont need that here. Youve got a piece of paper that spells out exactly what he was thinking and what he was telling people to do. So, its a critical piece of evidence. There are so many new developments. Today we learned the Special Counsel took the extraordinary step of having a subpoena to twitter for Donald Trumps account, documents and data behind that account. What does that tell you . Its very common today for prosecutors to do that because so many people are on social media. And you thats just something you do. And clearly his truths or tweets or whatever theyre called, his social media postings, are central to the case. Some people would say, why do you need to subpoena that information from twitter if you have those messages already . And you have to remember, a prosecutor has to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. So, one thing they have to prove is that donald trump, in fact, is the person who posted those posts, right . You cant just assume or ask the jury to assume that its him. We have to still prove it when were prosecutors. Youll also get other information aside from that when you get information back from a social media company. Youll get Draft Messages or the dms and that kind of stuff. So, the digital trail. We used to call it the paper trail. This is the digital trail. Yes, exactly, the bread crumbs. Up next, a wild report from maui, where the combination of high winds has proven deadly.

Reporter her cousin says their family home burned down in front of them, the flames coming so fast they had only minutes to act. We saw the smoke start about a block away from our house, and this is maybe 3 30, 4 00. By 5 30, our house is gone, everything we had ever known is gone, our church, our schools, every single memory that we had in that household, everything was gone in the blink of an eye.

After i started to evacuate, i went back to just ec dho see if the house was on fire or not. It wasnt, but i was standing at the street looking at my house, and i couldnt see my whole house because of the smoke. Reporter he rushed to his home, where hes had a gallery for 23 years.

Reporter others jumped into the ocean to escape the flames. The coast guard says it rescued 12 people from the waters. Survivors thankful to be alive, even as their hometown and its history has changed forever. Its like straight out of the movie. I dont wish this on anyone. Just please pray. Veronica miracle joins us now. I know youve only been on the ground in maui a short time, but what have you seen . Reporter well, john, from the moment that we came in on the plane, you could see the smoke on the island and of course feel the turbulence. It was an incredibly bumpy ride getting in. You can see how windy it is here. One of the three fires burning right behind me there in the distance. You can see the smoke accumulated here. Right now im about 30 minutes from the area impacted the most. Thousands of people are stranded there. And at this arena, all afternoon weve seen people, volunteers, distributors Bringing Palts of supplies, water, food, dog food, anything you can imagine, even bedding to some of these boats. Some of these boats normally are expedition boats. Theyre taking people out to go whale watching. Right now i spoke to a captain of one of those boats and she said theyve been authorized by the county to go out and go all the way around. Im going to show you in the distance there, i think it already went off. But this is the path they take all the way around the island, the main artery to the island is closed. Because these flames are so big, they cant even land in the area they need to pass off the supplies, so they will be needing sailboats. One of the captains of the expedition ships told me, theres so many unknowns, i have to figure it out as i go. Theyre hoping to bring some people back to safety here. But because all the Cell Communications have been down, towers are down to get supplies out and bring people back here to safety. John . Veronica miracle, thank you so much. Lets get more from the Charter Boat Captain helping with the rescue effort. Captain brice, grateful for youre taking the time to talk to us. I understand youve spent much of the overnight hours in your vessel at the request of the coast guard in case they needed rescues. Tell us what you witnessed. We checked in with the coast guard and ran the boat up to la high na, where the first thing you saw was there was a fire line that went up the mountain and there was probably a tornado of flame and smoke that was probably 200 feet across. And as we proceeded through the fire line, the smoke got thicker and thicker and thicker to the point where us as a collective crew were like, i dont know that we can go much farther. And were not there yet. And fortunately the wind had switched just enough to where the smoke let us slide underneath it. And we got up to where the location of the request was made. So, we got up there. And it was wild. It was watching the entire town burn from the ocean. All structures along the shoreline were fully engulfed, watching fuel tanks and other things that were blowing up. It was crazy. We stood by to help the coast guard to try and get there was at one point, there was 100 people that had tried to escape the fire by running into the ocean. When we got there, there was approximately 50 in a location that we were trying to evacuate them from. And it was very difficult because our boats cant go in as shallow as it was, and the people were stuck on the beach. And they couldnt you know, they dont want to swim out into the blackness through a cloud of smoke. So, we had to get a couple other boats involved. The deal on our Enforcement Boat and one of the dinghies from one of the other charter vessels was out there as well. So, they put Safety Swimmers and an emt, one of which works for trilogy. They jumped on board the zodiac. The Zodiac Ran Into as Shallow Water as they could go. Then the two people jumped off with surfboards, swam in, and started to collect the standards throughout the course of the evening or through the night, i guess, morning. They were able to get more resources down to the beach area through that video that you first showed, the one that i took. There is actually ems vehicles coming down through there to access the beach and try and remove the rest of the bystanders. Theyre right about there, where that big flame is, just to the right of that is where the people were on the beach. And, yeah, it was pretty intense seeing that. So, walk through the challenges for us from your view in the sense, listening to what youre describing, which is just out of this world. And then the images we see as well, you are seeing other images. You talked about the efforts to bring the resources together. Are there enough resources on maui to handle this disaster . And from your sense, are they making the necessary adjustments to coordinate them and all that . I dont think anybodys really ready for all this. If you talk to any firefighter, i dont think theyll tell you once something gets going, when you have 70 and 80mileanhour winds pushing that fire, you cant stop it. Theres not enough water out there and any amount of fire trucks. Once it gets to a certain size, theres no way you can control it. At that point, theyre going to have to pull back and, you know, safety first, as many people as they can, and hold every good thing back. Theres just nothing you can do. We were watching flames. Like i said, the first area was a flame Smoke Tornado that was 200 feet across and winds, im sure, in excess of 1 100milesanhour. For us as a collective crew, were getting blacked out where we cant see, running on navigational aids only, our instrumentation. Were just making Radio Contact with other boats and using sonar and radar and everything else. What is your expectation now . Are people telling you get out as soon as you can . Any sense of what the hours ahead look like . Well, right now i believe that theres an evacuation of some bystanders and wounded. I believe. Like i said, this is all you hear it all and i was talking to a couple of the guys that work for trilogy. And they are trying to bring people from an area known as black rock up to the harbor to bypass a bunch of the burned out town. Right now theyre not calling the smaller boats back in for resources at this time. But i am on standby. Were all waiting. Everybody came home and tried to get a few hours nap. We passed other coworkers. They were going down as we were coming back in. Its just ongoing. Thanks again. Thank you.

Does everybody really believe everything that happened was exactly the way the government is laying it out today . I dont. Reporter the friends and family around the table dont watch and dont trust cnn. There is reverence for Ronald Reagan here. The trust is gone. Reporter reagans optimism replaced by trumps grievances. Reagans disdain of Big Government replaced by trumps distrust of just about everything. I think he thinks reporter still questions about the 2020 election. And a lot of people agree with him. Reporter criticisms of the trump prosecutions. But nothing about that deal is the american way i dont think. Reporter and this. If you think the United States should be supporting ukraine in the fight against putin, raise your hand. Nobody . You dont have to be that smart to connect the dots, all right . So, is the war to cover up sins committed so you can cover your tracks . Theres too much money thrown over there. You think all the nato countries would do what biden told them to do because hes trying to cover up some hunter biden business deal . It all depends on how much dirt he has on biden to keep the money coming. Thats thats out there. No. Well, how do you trust when you know the government has shut down facebook and shut down twitter and told them to not show certain news stories . Reporter a few days here makes clear trumps grip is very strong. But roughly half of the party wants to move on. And they see their first in the nation vote as the best chance to derail him. The growth around des moines is stunning, and the suburbs are trumps kryptonite. I dont appreciate the negativity. Jocelyn taylor is a single mother who manages construction projects. Tim scott intrigues her, nikki haley too. Sometimes ron desantis. Theres a lot of around him. Is that a technical term . Reporter betsy, also a single mom, says desantis is her current favorite, but he hasnt closed the sale. She is done with trumps gop. I see the party as the party of personal responsibility. And for this man to still be on the National Stage representing the Republican Party is very troubling to me. Reporter they live a few miles apart but dont know each other. Both voted for trump twice after supporting someone else in the 2016 caucuses. Both want someone new this time. Both think, shop now, but in the end, rally friends around one trump alternative. I think the moderates need to ban together. Its like a nobrainer, right . Reporter sioux city is 200 miles from the suburbs. Did you caucus in 2016 . I did. I did caucused for trump. He does have charisma. I liked his policies. This attorney is a democrat turned trump voter, but she thinks he should have honored the 2020 election results. I think we need to get rid of biden. I think we need to get rid of trump. I think we need to move on. The. You think donald trump is an honest and trustworthy person . Yes. Yes. This is warmup season, five months until iowa votes, five months until americans divided over trump make a defining choice. First my thanks to those good people you see in the piece. A lot of them dont trust cnn. Were going to try to build a relationship over the next five months as we see how they vote. You heard about the talk. Trump critics think the crowded field helps him. This is a flashback. Remember 2016. Trump was second in iowa to ted cruz, then he went on to win New Hampshire and the rest is history. Look at the map right here. Where was donald trump weakest in 2016 . Thats the key point you get from spending a week in iowa. Thats marco rubio, iowa city. Thats seven years ago. Let me be clear, trump is stronger in iowa now than he was when he placed second seven years ago. If you look at the changes in iowa over these years, keep that right up there and lets bring this in here. Look at this Population Growth in iowa. Number one, the overall state Population Change. The deeper the color, that means the population is rising. Let me zoom in on the highest Population Change. Take a look at this. The highest Population Change is where . Des moines in the suburbs, out here in iowa city. Thats where the pop laegs is growing. New voters, 60,000 new people just in metro des moines. O look at the growth of the population here, then go back in time to 2016. Where trump was weakest is the Population Growth. Youd have to say today, talking to republicans on the ground, voters, strategists, smart people who understand this state. Right now trump is a prohibited favorite. If youre going to stop him, you need to do it early. The best hope would be iowa because trump is very, very popular in New Hampshire. Then it goes on and on. How would you rank this today, especially after spending a week with those Iowa Republicans last week. It is improbable. If it were today that anyone could stop trump. Especially when, like seven years ago, you have so many candidates. Theres a debate in a couple of weeks. A lot of candidates expected to drop out by the time we get to iowa. Improbable you could beat him, but is it impossible . No. Its a narrow path, but the math is right here in the des moines suburbs and beyond, which is why im honored, privileged to spend the next five months on the road going back to those great people asking them, still there, changing your mind, and tracking it as we go. Well start in iowa and move on later to the general election. Were going to do this over the next 15, 16 months, see the country, have some fun, and hopefully learn a lot.

The attack comes a day after nine were killed af two Russian Missiles struck a Building East of pope love. That attack appeared to be designed to target rescue workers. Thats a war crime if its true. The battle has become fierce, as ukraine pushes its counteroffensive in the south. Some of what youre about to see is beyond graphic. Reporter the brutal work here the world hasnt seen but wants its results. From the west, they have words and weapons of support. But out here, its them alone. In searing heat cloaked in dust, in the Southern Counteroffensive Near ukraine has the initiative. Yet they have to shoot their way forward round by round. The russians are just past the building on the horizon. Lets get moving, guys. Were the first journalists to reach this part of ukraines counteroffensive push south. The british tank was spotted by the russians, so now were moving fast out of here because theyre expecting return fire. Reporter the losses from their early assaults evident theres a armored vehicle. In this thick dust, these tankers moving forward to fire at russian positions which they say are beginning to look in peril, as ukraines Southern Counteroffensive pushing forward. The 15th National Guard have lost many friends here but also gained ground. It has been incredibly tough. But some faces we saw over the past week have brightened. Some of the assessment of their fight and the tools given toward it. Theyre being expected to do things no nato army would attempt with equipment theyd scoff at. The humvee we travel in, with ties so threadbare, no american would be expected to drive it. They have no time for assessment.

Nick, just a breathtaking, harrowing look at the action on the front lines. What are these Frontline Troops telling you they need most right now . Reporter air power really. Yes, theyre finding the russians ahead of them, paratroopers, often to be well dug in, to be trained, to be willing to hold positions and able to do so. And we heard over the week we spent with that unit how the fluctuations of success have left them at times exasperated, at times pretty upbeat. And they appear to have moved forward. Its the russian air superiority, the half ton bombs you saw left. That causes them to at times run to the basement, not know what they can do to lose friends on a daily basis at times. Thats fundamentally moscows advantage here. Until ukraine gets the just hours ago that russia will still have. Nick paton walsh, absolutely critical reporting by you and your team. Thanks so much.

Returning tonight to Breaking News the wild fires, weve managed to connect with a mother of three forced with her husband to flee her home. She as meteorologist for a local tv station kitv and joins us now from elsewhere on the island. Ig grateful for your time under these circumstances. What was happening that made you flee . What happened to you and your family . Well, i was in the subdivision the very first subdivision that was evacuated. What youre looking at here is a whole separate fire that developed yesterday. In fact yesterday we had several different hot spots on the mountain you see behind me. Ours was of course the highest one up and then lower down there was another hot spot, lower down, another fire developed late last night. And the one youre seeing there with complete devastation. For me, i smelled smoke around 1 00 a. M. It was the very first, very beginning of the first fire that developed. And by 3 00 we fwot a call from our neighbor saying get out. Look out the window and it was red. Just grabbed some stuff, grabbed the kids, and got out of there. Do you have any sense now . What are you hearing . Any way to get information about the condition of your home, your neighborhood . Yes. Weve been able to actually drive back into the neighborhood several times. Yesterday it was up and down. We would hear it is kind of safe to go in there. We went in. Wrapped some heirlooms to be safe. Then we would hear the next hour oh, the fire is coming down the gulch. Make sure you dont go in there. The neighbor is crying and fleeing again. And this morning we felt pretty good about it. You know, we woke up. The house was still there. We got a picture of our home from the friend who said it is looking good. Winds are down a notch since yesterday. You can probably still hear them, still pretty strong here on the island of maui. But just a little while ago our neighbors said they saw a 15foot high flames on a property right above where we are and that the fire was again encroaching on our subdivision. It really is this touchandgo waitandsee type of situation. Help us with your expertise. You are a trained meteorologist. You mentioned the winds and other factors. Did you see this coming . Did you see conditions building where this was possible and after you get through that what about where are we going . You mentioned the winds now looking around and do you see anything that helps or worry things that are coming in the hours ahead will hurt . A really good question. You know, this weekend i was on the air doing weather and we had already posted the or at least told people that dora, the hurricane category 4 at the time was passing to the south. Very strong hurricane with a low pressure system. To the north of the islands we had high pressure. Between those two Pressure Systems the gradient was getting really tight. We knew we were expecting really strong winds. At the time the National Weather service was saying gusts upwards of 16 miles per hour. So dry conditions. Low humidity. Really high winds. All of those things are the recipe for really rapidly spreading fires and all you need as little spark. When you have winds that strong what else happens, car lines go down. What happens when the power line goes down . Sparks fly. It was just a recipe for disaster. We knew that that was possible. The public had been warned of the possibility. We just didnt know how strong the winds were going to be. What ended up happening is we got gusts into the 80s and when you get gusts into the 80s that is a Hurricane Force wind that is happening. It is not sustained but still something that can knock you off your feet. Thank you for your time especially under these extraordinary circumstances. Really very much appreciate it. We wish you the best of luck in the days ahead. Up next, an answered prayer. An american nurse and her daughter free from their captives in haiti.
