Marriage he new developments suggest that the former president and current president ial candidate could be hit with a fourth title this week. The District Attorney in Fulton County, georgia, is expected to make her case before a grand jury this week. The georgia case stems from trumps effort to overturn president joe bidens victory in the state. Marshall cohen has more. Reporter good morning. It looks like all systems are go for the Fulton County District Attorney to present her case to a grand jury early this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow, in the investigation of former President Donald Trump and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. Cnn previously reported that this was expected in the coming days. We now know that some of the key witnesses subpoenaed to testify were told specifically to show up on tuesday and the grand jury meets on mondays and tuesdays. One of those witnesses is an independent journalist named george chidi. In 2020, he actually witnessed some of the fake protrump electors meeting in the statehouse in atlanta. Another key figure who heads to the grand jury this tuesday is former georgia Lieutenant Governor geoff duncan. Here is what he told Fredricka Whitfield yesterday. I received notification to appear Tuesday Morning at the Fulton County grand jury. I will be there to do my part in recounting the facts. I have no expectations to the questions and i will answer kpafr questions in front of me and dont want to jeopardize or compromise the investigation. This is a story important for republicans to hear, americans to hear. Lets hear The Truth And Nothing But the truth. Duncan, now a cnn contributor, is a republican and he was in office when trump tried to pressure State Officials to nip the results and overturn the will of the georgia voters. Fulton county District Attorney fani willis, an elected democrat, launched the criminal probe in 2021. The investigation has steadily expanded over the years and fani willis is now scrut guysing trumps attempts to interfere with the Vote Counting and election certification, the fake elector scheme and breaches of an election system. State prosecutors are expected to give that one or twoday presentation to the grand jury this week, presumably starting tomorrow. Cnn has previously reported that prosecutors are Eying Racketeering and conspiracy charges known as rico. And fani willis is expected to pursue indictments against perhaps more than a dozen attempts, trumps allies in the state of georgia. The former president has already been indicted on federal charges stemming from his attempts to subvert the 100 election and disenfranchise voters. He pled not guilty in that federal case and he argued that the atlanta probe is just another witch hunt. Amara and rahel. Thank you. Now some perspective on the georgia case. Joining us is cnn legal analyst joey jackson. Good morning. Always good to see you. So lets start with the fact that we have heard from witnesses, including georgias form toer Lieutenant Governor. By all counts it appears an indictment is imminent. How does this case differ from the others . Yeah, rahel, good morning to you. So just, you know barksking up, obviously, this is the fourth indictment of the president and, you know, the other indictments are somewhat different. You have the New York County indictment. Thats in manhattan. Certainly, that department with the hush money payments. We know that. Of course, then we have the special counsel jack smith and one of those indictments that mr. Smith proffered against the president dealt with the whole issue of these classified documents. So we know thats different. Then there is one that may be somewhat mirroring but different from this one, and we toe that that relates to election enter feerngs, a federal indictment. In all, its important to understand although there are two federal indictments and one State Indictment in manhattan, this would be the second indictment, a lot of moving parts here, states have a role, too. In the event, for example, that this happened, right, that there was Election Interference by the president in georgia, georgia has an independent obligation as one of 50 states in this country to do its Due Diligence to convene a grand jury and pursue justice. No withstanding the fact there may be commonalities to the indictment of jack smith in the Election Interference, georgia in particular having been interfered with, allegedly, has a role and thats exactly what this grand jury is doing. Take a listen to what else geoff duncan said about why this case is different. I think the interesting part to this indictment is different than the others because there is going to be 12 plus coconspirators and these folks dont have the same level of loyalty they had to donald trump when he was trying to change the election outcome in 2020. It will be interesting to see which way they go. These are serious charges being signaled. Racketeering, conspiracy, rico, garnered for the mafia or the mob. So, joey, it sounds like a sprawling investigation. If in fact fani willis pursues racketeering and conspiracy, i mean, what type of standard has to be met to get an indictment on those types of charges . So what happens is when you look at the issue of rook tearing, racketeering involving a criminal enterprise. As part of that criminal enterprise, as the former Lieutenant Governor indicated, it involves a number of people who were engaged in activities that would meet that criminal standard, right, in the event that they do it, a grand jury will indict. Lets explain that. When you have racketeering charges they are pattern acts at least at a minimum. One could relate to the tampering of witnesses to subvert the election process. Another has been stated publicly and well see, right, ultimately these are secretive proceedings, the Voting System and whether or not there were individuals who accessed Fulton Countys Voter Machines in order to unearth some data and information. So those would be the Predicate Agents for the racketeering issue. Then we know the conspiracy involves an agreement between two or more people to engage in criminality. So it looks like that will be at least what we know for now. Again, these are secretive. Its very important to know that. A grand jury, it doesnt meet in public. They are 23, at least 23 members, 16 constitutes a quorum, and its important to note also that a simple majority, right, 12 would have to vote to issue an indictment. And they are not seeking to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. They are trying to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that a crime was committed and the subject before the grand jury committed those crimes. In addition to racketeering, right, and conspiracy, we will see what else the District Attorney puts before that grand jury and what witnesses, factually bear out in terms of crimes that can be charged in the state of georgia. Different standards, as you point out, to win an indictment versus a conviction. Lets play make believe. You are a defense attorney. Say you are representing clients facing these types of potential charges. Where do you begin . Whats theeg so, you know, its early, rahel. I say that because what ends up happening is that the prosecutor has to go in, present the cases before the grand jury. We have information that there was a Special Grand Jury convened previously, right, just to clarify that. And that met for about seven or eight months. That Special Grand Jury in georgia, hearing from about 75 witnesses and those 75 witnesses, you know, giving information and there was a recommendation as to charges. This grand jury will actually present them. Why do i go through all that . At this point, unless you know what the discovery is, the information is, the process, once a grand jury indicts, thereafter the defendant brought before the court. You enter a plea of not guilty. Your attorneys would ask for discovery. Thats information. What did the witnesses say . What specifically are the charges . What are you saying that i did that relates to criminality, and thats when the defenses come about. If you are alleging its racketeering, obviously, they are going to say, and we heard a lot of this, people have constitutional right to convene, supporting who they choose, a constitutional right to say things and engage in political speech. We heard a lot about that. And that what they did did constitute any crime, but certainly was a measure that they have as people in this country to exercise their freedom. Thats what we will hear. Whether that carries the day is a separate question. A very separate question. That said, we will be watching Fulton County this week. Joey jackson, great to have your insights this morning. Thank you. An update from maui. The lahaina fire is now the deadliest fire in the u. S. In over 100 years. The death toll rising sharply once again overnight. It now stands at 93. And hawaiis governor is warning that that number will continue to rise as crews make their way through some of the hardest hit areas and comb through the debris and whats left of homes and buildings and cars. The scale of the damage is so fast, so far only 3 of the fire zone has been searched with cadaver dogs. The governor is estimating the cost of the damage could totally nearly 6 billion and take years to rebuild. This is the largest Natural Disaster we have ever experienced. Its going to also be a Natural Disaster thats going to take an incredible amount of time to recover from. In the next few days, adds we characterize how many people we lost and how many people are coming into the community, we come at this like an ohana, because it will be in the short term heartbreaking, in the long term people need Mental Health services. In the very long term, we will rebuild together. For survivors hoping to check out their homes and how they you are fared in the fire, their frustration is mounting. This video shows the long, long line of cars trying to get back into lahaina. That main highway into the Historic Town has been opened and then closed repeatedly. Most times with little to no warning. Cnns Gloria Pazmino is in maui for us this morning. Gloria, i imagine emotions are running high, especially after the trauma during the fires, the aftermath, the uncertainty, and now long lines. People are trying to figure out, you know, what happened with their homes, their neighbors. What are you hearing and seeing this morning . Reporter well, listen, it has been six days since the fires started burning in lahaina. That is the town that has been absolutely devastated by the fire. And it is still extremely difficult to get into the area. You are speaking about the long lines of cars that were lined up here, exactly where we are standing, yesterday. Now, you could see where i am now. This is very empty right now. It is desperate. This is highway 30 and its one way in and one way out of lahaina. Now, people were lining up for hours trying to get back in. They want to go home to see what is left of it. They want it assess the damage. They want to rekktconnect with families and loved ones and they have not been able to do that. That is creating frustration and anger. Now, this road, the reason why its empty now, it is a checkpoint. It shuts down at 10 00 at night. Its after midnight here in maui. We are told that the road will be officially used for government and convey vehicles. In fact, just a couple of minutes ago we watched as a convoy of Power Utility vehicles drove out of lahaina headed out of the town. So that is what we are expecting to see in this area tonight. But i want you to listen from the residents who were waiting here for hours yesterday only to be told that they needed to go in a different correction. They told us that three miles back, couldnt have been a bullhorn or on the radio, just pathetic. The route they are trying to make us take is a dangerous route. Even on a good day. Trying to do the most we can. Its frustrating. Reporter now, we are expecting to see a lot of heavy traffic today in terms of the convoy, but we are also expecting traffic will build up on the northern part of the island. That is where people are being rerouted to. So if you are watching, if you are listening, if you have family and loved ones trying to reach the area, its a lot to ask for, but officials are urging patience. We understand that it is a lot for people to do that right now. They are anxious to get back. But officials are also trying to get very needed supplies and Emergency Vehicles into the area. As you mentioned at the beginning, Search And Rescue very much still ongoing. Only 3 of the area has been found. Only two people have been positively identified, and officials are asking Family Members to come forward, provide dna samples in an effort to identify victims. We are still expecting that death toll to increase over the next several hours. Of course. Only 3 of that area having been searched with cadaver dogs. Obviously, that just proper te portends more tragic news ahead. Thank you.

Republicans with their eye on the prize have flocked to the event this week in des moines. The crowds came out for donald trump, mike pence, nikki haley and ron desantis trying to take home the republican president ial nomination. Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jess Dell any is following the story. Reporter the Iowa State Fair on saturday was a playground for president ial candidates, including former President Donald Trump, who arrived here in des moines at the time it was being learned that the Georgia Grand Jury will continue their investigation and enteinterview witnesses next week. The former president defiant about that role in the Georgia Election back in 2020 accused of meddling in that election. He said he defended that phone call he made to Secretary Of State Brad Raffensperger calling it a perfectly fine call as he arrived here at the fair. He also talked about his frontrunner status in this race. Of course, he is leading the race at the moment. Five months before the Iowa Caucuses open the 2024 campaign. He said he is taking nothing for granted. I am not taking any chances. We are way up in the polls in iowa and all over the country, up over 50 points. Thats a lot. We dont want to take chances. We will be back. Reporter trump stayed at the fair to a couple of hours, but his rivals stayed far longer, greeting many voters, making their case why they should be the alternative. Florida Governor Ron Desantis had his children and family in tow, riding the bumper cars, taking turns playing games. He also was talking about his leading rival, donald trump. And about his refusal to sign that debate pledge. He you dont take your ball go home. Its not just about you. Youve got to be willing to stand up and support the team. I think every candidate should agree to support the nominee. 100 . Reporter and nikki haley, the former South Carolina governor and former ambassador in the trump administration, also spending time here at the Iowa State Fair , Tolding Town Meetings across the state. She is calling for a new generation of leaders and said its time for the party to move on. Dont complain about what happens in a general election if you dont play in this caucus. It matters. It matters. Reporter and smaller wave of president ial candidates expected it to visit the state in the coming week. South carolina senator tim scott, who has been gaining ground and gaining attention here in iowa, will be coming on tuesday. Other candidates coming as the week moves along. There is no question all of them are trying to make their arguments and perhaps knock donald trump down just a bit. He is the frontrunner. There is no question. When you talk to so many voters, amara and rahel, one thing thats clear, many have open minds. His true supporters may not, but this is very early. As the Iowa Governor told me, she said surprises often happen in the Iowa Caucuses. Interesting about the fact that so many voters have open minds. We will see how it goes. We are joined by cnn National Politics reporter daniel strauss. Good morning to you. Thank you for joining us. Lets talk about the Iowa State Fair. This is, obviously, a muststop, as we have seen over many years. Trump, you know, came on his own terms. He was in and out in a few hours. He was the only candidate that blew off the governors fair side chat and he showed up at the entourage of the Florida Congress people to troll ron desantis. First off, how did trump do while he was there on the ground . How was he received . I dont think we should be surprised that there are a large amount of Trump Supporters in iowa still. And even a brief appearance underscores his Ongoing Frontrunner status within the party. It is telling, though, that he decided to import a number of florida lawmakers. That really indicates that despite his lead in the polling, despite the fact that Governor Ron Desantis is increasingly trailing the former president , trump still sees him as a threat, and his analytics, his data probably suggests that as well. What about ron desantis . He is, obviously, dealing with some campaign struggles. Just this week, he had some shakeups, including replacing his campaign manager. But on the ground we saw some hecklers. He did hit some snags during that fair side chat. Is that reflective of how the people in iowa feel about him or how he might do in the caucuses . Its hard to say. For desantis and his and the prodesantis super pac, they treated iowa as a mustwin state. Most candidates have a state they want to do well with. For desantis, its iowa. At the same time, we shouldnt be surprised as we near the primary days, as we near the election days, the acrimony between various supporters is going to be more stark. The fact that there are supporters of trump or other candidates booing desantis is par for the course. At the same time, if you are desantis and the team, you want to take that largely into account because, again, this is a mustwin state for him. We know that the Iowa Governor, kim reynolds, is quite popular there in the state. She has remained neutral. She is not endorsing any of the republican candidates just yet. Of course, trump, thats to trump agencies chagrin. He has been publicly attacking her. Of course, on saturday he kind of made an aboutface and said he liked her very much, a nod to the fact that she yields some influence over the Republican Voters. What kind of impact will she have, do you think, you know, in the caucuses there . I mean, Governor Reynolds support is one of the most coveted endorsements in iowa right now. In any president ial cycle, an Iowa Governors support is very valuable for a president ial candidate. And then the fact that reynolds is also the chair of the Republican Governors Association and on top of that a very, very popular governor among Republican Voters means that if she decides to endorse, if she decides to appear solely with one candidate, that will indicate an amount of support that other candidates really cant match. And so far, reynolds has been clear in that she wants to appear and show neutrality with all of the candidates. There has been kritcriticism am Governor Ron Desantiss rivals, she has been very, very eager to appear with him, to sort of wink and nod that he is her preferred candidate, but she made no indication of that in a straightforward way. And, daniel, looking forward to this week, a potential fourth indictment that donald trump might be facing, as we said, two witnesses have been notified that they need to appear before a Fulton County grand jury on tuesday, that includes Lieutenant Governor geoff duncan, the former Lieutenant Governor geoff duncan of georgia. He confirmed that to cnn. But how do we expect things to unfold starting as soon as monday . We are going to have to wait and see on that point. You will say here that the fact that there is another load stone, another marker for former President Trumps legal woes underscores the unique situation in this president ial cycle. There hasnt been a frontrunner president who has had so many indictments, so many lawsuits against him that he has to Pay Attention to as he is running for president , while also being the frontrunner in a major american political partys primary. So this is something that is going to be a factor and if you are donald trump, you really want to portray this as a, quote, unquote, witch hunt, as sort of a political maneuver by his opponents, and thats what we are going to be hearing from him in the coming months probably straight through the republican primary and perhaps through election day. Yeah, we already heard him launching attacks on the Fulton County d. A. , calling fani willis racist, among other things. Daniel strauss, thank you very much.

Kyiv said forces had partial success. The village has been the site of Intense Fighting For S Weeks now. Ukraians say that they have y be able to push back some of russias troops. Meantime, the kremlin claims it has intercepted a Ukrainian Drone inside russia. The drone was reportedly taken down in the belgorod region, and two ukrainian missiles targeted a bridge. Video shows white Smoke Billowing from the bridge. Is the second weekend that ukrainian missiles have targeted crimea bridges. Joined by former assist Secretary Of State under george w. Bush and retired u. S. Army Brigadier General mark kimmet. I think most would say that the counteroffensive has been slow going. Zelenskyy admitted the same. Every day seems that ukraine is making ground. There was a report from a uk group that said some of the recent advances were tactically significant. From your point of view, how would you describe the status of ukraines efforts at this point . Are they gaining momentum . I think it comes down to one word, slog. Yes, they are making some progress at very, very high cost, at slow rates. They are but they are making progress. I dont think its going to be substantial enough or significant enough to have an effect during this fighting season before we head into the fall. Is it possible to know what it would take to turn the tide in that way . The russians have set up an extensive zone of defenses. Obstacles, barriers, fires that go on top of those obstacles. Its going to be hard for them to push through. There are no Magic Weapons out there. There are no Magic Solutions to this. If the ukrainians want to get through this, its just got to be pushing and pushing and pushing. It may be that at one point, one of the defense lines, there is a crack and they can wedge some people and equipment through. At this point, it doesnt look likely. Are you surprised, general, to see the number of Ukrainian Drone strikes across the border . They seem to be increasing and more and more common. Are you surprised to see that . I am not surprised. I am a little worried though. One of the great concerns has always been the restrictions that the nato and u. S. Coalition have put on the ukrainians, is that they wont use any of the provided equipment to go into russia. It could very well be that the ukrainians start running out of their own drones. I think we have a completely different tactical situation if they start using coalition drones. We have said throughout this is not a war between the coalition and russia. But if they start using American Equipment inside of russia, that could change the calculation on the part of the russians. How concerned should ukraine be that it appears at least from some polling, we can pull up cnn polling, that support for more aid appears to the wang. 55 of people polled said they do not support more funding. I mean, how concerning should this be to ukraine . Well, im less concerned about that. We fought many wars around iraq, afghanistan, and primarily vietnam with Public Opinion in the majority against those wars. Wars are the province of the executive branch. This is not something typically that congress can start. Im more concerned, however, how putin sees this. If putin continues to see a declining public support and he thinks he can wait out until donald trump comes back to be president potentially, then i think weve got a completely different equation. Yeah. Well, speaking of putin, look, there is a new report out of the uk that russia may not be financially supporting the Wagner Mercenary group. We know how important wagner has been thus far in some of the wins that russia has had thus far. What do you make of that and what what does that mean for the status of the war moving forward . Wagner is going back their old playgrounds of africa, mali, burr keno faso, and now even maybe niger. So this is not been a force that primarily was meant to be the spearhead in ukraine. It just happened to be that. But it could also be, candidly, that the Russian Forces now have their feet underneath them and they dont need the wagner forces spearheading or particularly in this kind of defensive operation. So i dont see the wagner group as having a large consequence inside the ukrainian theater of operations anymore. Yeah. That Military Coup in niger over the last few weeks certainly causing a lot of alarm, as you said, because of what it might attract into the region.

Amazing. Just makes me feel like i am back in the will. Back in the mode. Back a part of the team. Honestly, i couldnt imagine not being a part of this. When you step in between the lines, you put yourself at risk by hesitating. And by reserving yourself. So i made the choice that i wanted to play. It wasnt nobody elses choices but mine. There is no other place id rather be. A great head of hair on him, doesnt he . That i envy. One thing i do not envy is how he was feeling. In my fifth season in the nfl, i had a plate and four screws in my neck and thought my career was over. I remember that feeling, getting ready to go out for the first contact. I had anxiety the night before. I didnt sleep a wipg. For him to get back out and have that faith to go on and not hesitate and go and continue is admirable. You have to be a new person, too, right . After going through a neardeath experience, you are a completely new person with a completely different perspective on life . He started a toy drive, within 24 hours up over 5 million. He is using this moment to try to do good for more than just himself. So much public support. Hopefully, that helped knowing so many people were rooting for him. And mom was there. Yes. That was important. Thank you, coy. Thank you. All right. There is some good news for people taking the Weight Loss Drug wegovy. A trial shows it could reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and other heartrelated issues. Cnns meg tirrell has more. We know that wegovy produces dramatic amount of weight loss. Clinical trials, showed up 15 of peoples body weight could be lost over the course of the study. What we havent seen with this drug or any others is that whether that weight loss actually produced a benefit in terms of protecting people against a future heart attack or stroke or heartrelated death. Now for the first time this massive trial of wegovy ha shown that it can reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke or heartrelated death by 20 compared with placebo. A trial of more than 17,000 people over five years, these were folks with existing cardiovascular disease. And what they found was that taking wegovy did lower that risk of another event in the future. Now, this is really important for health benefits. Its the first time we have seen this in a trial with people who dont have diabetes. It could also open up insurance reimbursement for the medicine. This is not an inexpensive drug, it cost 1350 a month before insurance and Insurance Coverage is not great in the united states. So there is an expectation that once this result is peertopeer reviewed, published in a medical journal, because new this is just a Press Release Top Line Finding and the fda reviewed it, could encourage more insurers to pay for the drugs as doctors become more interested in prescribing them.

Airfares have reportedly dropped as the Travel Season wraps up later it had month. Experts say that prices often drop off late in the summer, but its only for a short time before they climb up again. Cnns pete muntean has all the details. Reporter we are in a bit of a plateau when it comes to domestic airfares, and Travel Experts say now is really the sweet spot if you are trying to fit in one more trip for the summer. In fact, you can get a good deal in september and october, which are typically the shoulder seasons. Here is the latest data from hopper. The average domestic round trip right now is 257. That is down 11 compared to last year. Its even lower than wt we saw in 2019 before the pandemic. But this is where it gets interesting. A flight from the u. S. To europe, 813 round trip on average according to hopper. That is down a little bit compared to last year. A lot of factors going into this. Jet fuel has gone down a little bit. Airlines have beefed up capacity as they rebounded from the pandemic, and competition has gone up a little bit. Hopper says that all means good things for travelers. Though we are surprised how low fares have gotten this year given how high they were last year, all of the factors at play pushing down airfare are good for nsumers. Here are the Trending Destinations right now, according to hopper. Melbourne, florida, manchester, new hampshire, reno, buffalo, charleston, South Carolina, those ultra lowcost carriers. The big tip though, if you are trying to book, do it now. If you wait until this time next month, thats when tickets really start to shoot up because of the holidays. They are around the corner, even though we are in august right now. And if you book soon, they will beat the demand and rush on holiday tickets which causes the amara, rahel. P. Thank you.
