Bret good evening, welcome to washington. Im bret baier. Breaking tonight, Special Counsel jack smith has filed a reworked indictment in his election interference case against former president donald trump, the new filing keeps the same criminal charges but narrows the allegations against the former president following that Supreme Court opinion on broad immunity on former president s. So what about this . What goes on from here . Correspondent david spunt has details from the Justice Department tonight. Good evening, david. Bret, good evening to you. This is the new indictment of president donald trump, the former president still has the same four core charges from when he was indicted last year. But, as you mentioned, it narrows some of the language. The language is a little bit tighter and it takes out mentions of certain people that Special Counsel jack smith felt that he could not move forward if he wanted to be successful in court. Something else to point out, a brand new grand jury heard evidence in this case and decided to indict. This is not the same grand jury from last year. Now, this all comes after the Supreme Court early last month on july 1st ruled on president ial immunity. Ruling in trumps favor, making it more difficult for jack smith, the Special Counsel to bring in certain aspects of his original case, a case that was supposed to go to trial, bret, in early march of this year. But the justices ruled that president s have broad immunity for official duties. These are the four charges that will remain the same. Conspiracy, defraud United States. Conspiracy to obstruct official proceeding. Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. Bret, what is different is the new indictment focuses more on trump in his potential unofficial role as a candidate and less on his official role as president. The Supreme Court had said the president may enjoy such presumption of immunity, trumps speech to supporters as a candidate. Special counsel jack smith and Donald Trumps attorneys will be in front of the district judge, Tanya Chutkan next week here in washington, d. C. Trump is not expected to attend and sources connected to both sides, do not expect this to go trial before election. This certainly is another delay but definitely a paired down indictment and we just got some reaction from the former president. He posted on social media and said in an effort to resurrect a dead witchhunt in washington, d. C. , and called what Special Counsel jack smith did today as an act of, quote desperation. Bret . Bret david spunt at the Justice Department. David, thanks. This is essentially the same case but now become much stronger because it has paired away the allegations the Supreme Court has said are immune from prosecution. We basically got the same old indictment shined up as reportedly something new. This case has been ruled on already that this shouldnt change anything. Bret some legal analysts digesting that as it happened late this afternoon. Lets get our own analysis from George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley. Jonathan, good evening. What do you make of this . Obviously the Special Counsel its kind of like the Empire Strikes back. Refiling another indictment here . Its the shrinkflation indictment. Its the same packaging, just less product inside. And what they did is kept the four charges and they just took out any evidence that clearly would have contradicted the Supreme Courts decision on president ial immunity. It does not hold together, in my view very well. I dont even think it solves the problem. For example, he is keeping in, as one of the four main allegations, Trumps Communications whip and pence and that presumptively protected under the Supreme Court decision. He also includes a communications with members of congress that could also trip a wire. The first two main theories deal with state officials. And the slate, the alternative slate that trumps team was pushing. So, he doesnt really get out of the problem that many still see with this. Whats also interesting, bret, is he keeps the charges of obstruction of official proceedings. There was a second case. The fisher case that dramatically narrowed how prosecutors can bring that charge. They have to essentially allege tampering of evidence or destruction of evidence. Its not clear how he is going to thread that needle on those charges. Bret yeah. David mentioned the truth social post by the former president. Actually a series of them fairly lengthy. In that he said it should be dismissed immediately. He calls them deranged jack smith has brought this ridiculous new indictment against me. Its merely an attempt, quote to interfere with the election. I want to just play this soundbite from sandra smith talking to Supreme Court neil gorsuch about that immunity decision. Take a listen. This is the first time in American History that one president ial administration was seeking to bring criminal charges against a predecessor. Theres a precedent of the United States Supreme Court called nixon vs. Fitzgerald in which the court said civil cases cant be brought against the president presumptively in his official capacity after he leaves office. Why . Because that would chill him from exercising the powers and duties of the president while he is president. So, jonathan, if this goes forward, and if, lets say, the former president doesnt succeed in court, we are still talking about months, if not years of dealing with this specific case, that the Special Counsel is bringing forward. Well, i think that the Supreme Court will still have problems with this indictment. It clearly he took out things that would have tripped a wire and would have rendered any verdict really, in my view, unsustainable. But i think they are still going to have problems for much of what Justice Gorsuch talked about. This takes away evidence that he originally cited. But you still have a lot of communications in there. Now, the biggest problem for smith is that if trump wins the election, he is going to end up looking like captain ahab without a ship or crew. Because its very likely that the Special Counsel investigation is going to be scuttled or terminated with a trump victory. But, even if he even if trump is not elected, i think that smith has a pretty heavy load to haul. Not necessarily to get a conviction. This is a favorable judge and jury. But, to keep a conviction sustained on appeal. Bret let alone the florida judge ruling that the Special Counsel was not appointed in the right way. A whole other element to this case. Jonathan, as always. Thank you. Thank you. Bret republican Vice President ial nominee j. D. Vance in swing state michigan today taking the stage at an event focused on the u. S. Economy blasting the Bidenharris Administration record on energy. Its part of a Battleground Blitz for vance and former President Trump in states trump narrowly lost in 2020. And were learning more tonight about that september debate. Correspondent Aishah Hasnie spoke with senator vance oneonone ahead of remarks in big rapids. She joins us now. Good evening, aishah. Aishah bret, good evening to you. On that debate its only getting a little bit more confusing by the day. Tonight a fox source familiar tells fox news that there will be an abc debate and the mics will be muted and that is what former President Trump announced tonight on truth social; however, the network itself has not confirmed that. And the Harris Campaign is telling fox tonight, quote this remains an ongoing conversation with abc. Former President Trump on truth social today announcing the first president ial debate hosted by abc is on. Writing the rules will be the same as the last cnn debate, which means the mics stay muted when the other candidate is talking. He adds the candidates cannot bring notes or cheat sheets. He wants to do a debate. Senator j. D. Vance standing up for his boss on the Campaign Trail after the harris camp claimed that trump wanted to get out of debate. Vance told fox the campaign isnt budging on the rules. What do you think he would be open to renegotiating the rules putting on a debate for america. I dont know. Get there yet. Make them follow the rules they agreed to. Vance making his fourth visit to michigan this time at a Big Rapids Horse Farm down the road from where a Chinese Owned Company is planning to build a massive 2. 4 billion Lithium Battery Plant for Electric Vehicles. Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer touting the creation of more than 2,000 jobs but former President Trump says the push for evs is, quote killing michigan. Even some of the folks in Obamas Administration said that the Goesen Factory Plant is a threat to the Americas National security. Vance blaming the Biden Administrations Energy Policy for the shutdown of two major Engine Plants in the Battleground State also happening tonight the Trump Campaign slamming harris for coming out today and saying that she does not support a ev mandate but she did cosponsor a 2019 bill called zero emissions vehicles act, which requires Car Manufacturers to have to produce only vehicles that only sells Zero Emission Vehicles by 2040a. Thanks. On the other side of the Campaign Trail republican critics growing louder in their assertion the Har Harris Campais all about vibe than substance. Now we get word of a scheduled interview. Jacqui heinrich has the story live from the north lawn. Good evening, jacqui. Jacqui good evening, bret. One of the moderates from the debate that doomed president bidens campaign is now set to interview the partys new nominee. But there is reportedly a deeper reason why the host is getting to sit down with both candidates on the new democratic ticket. Cnn reports dana bash is getting the first interview with Vice President harris as the democratic nominee, making good on this promise i want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month. In a new twist Vice President ial nominee tim walz will be part of it after politico reported today one of the issues harris is planning to address how to tim walz in the media. The danger sending him out to do big solo interviews he might not have a full command where harris is on every issue. The news is significant after harris reportedly rejected the notion the big sit down had to be big name anchor aides unhappy how this went last october. First of all im not going to engage in that hypothetical because joe biden is very much alive and running for reelection. But you do know, that is a concern and a legitimate concern, i would say. I hear from a lot of different people, a lot of different things. Walz got some practice in with this interview that dropped today on tiktok. We believe that she belongs on the inside. I do believe it should be inside. Its like a Hot Chocolate molten lava cake. So far the harris introduction to america is happening through ads like this one. Her as tough on the border, spotlighting trumps border wall even democrats say she needs more meat on the bone. The important thing is that she ought to be addressing the issues at the border. The most important thing that she can do is have a policy that will actually make a difference and thats what she proposed signing when she was up there on stage giving her acceptance speech. The harris team is not walking away from the trump border wall imagery, acknowledging that the bipartisan border bill foiled by Congressional Republicans last year, which harris is now making her own pitch, includes 650 million in border wall funding. The harris team is noting though in the media that this is not new money but like many others, sticky policy issues full Democratic Base might not embrace. Harris has not explained herself about it yet, bret. Bret all right, Jacqui Heinrich live on the north lawn, jacqui, thanks. Stocks edged higher after a muted trading session today.

Bret Meta Ceo Mark Zuckerberg is receiving both criticism and praise tonight after vitae revealing the Biden Administration pressured facebook to censor covid19 content during the pandemic. He also issued a mea culpa about facebooks handling of the hunter biden story. Zuckerberg admits to bowing to some demands but vowing to push back if faced with such pressure again. Correspondent Griff Jenkins has the story. We should be really concerned about it and frankly it suggests that both our government and the big tech censors are way too powerful. Team trump is seizing on the stunning revelation after Meta Ceo Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to House Judiciary Committee chairman jim jordan, quote in 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the white house repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain coast content. I believe the government pressure was wrong. I regret that we were not more outspoken about it. Zuckerberg adds there was a lot of frustration when his teams disagreed with the administration and is he ready to push back if it happens again. Republicans on the Committee Say those opposing views might have benefited the public. The actual data that we now have related to the pandemic demonstrates that these positions they were suppressing that many of them were actually correct. The white house responded in a Statement Saying when confronted with the deadly pandemic, this administration encouraged responsible actions to protect Public Health and safety. The white house did not address zuckerbergs other admission that his company was wrong when they demoted the Hunter Biden Laptop story following fbi warnings of potential russian disinformation. And tech experts say this may only be the tip of the iceberg. Really an extraordinary abuse of power by both the fbi, the cia on covid. So i think we are still at the beginning of a reckoning here of really a panic that resulted from peoples ability to get information. Zuckerberg also says in an effort to remain neutral gone are the socalled zucker bucks he will not be making any political donations this Election Cycle he doesnt want the appearance of any partisanship. Bret we will following it, interesting. Griff. Thanks. Calls for the house to take up senatepassed Bipartisan Legislation preventing the irs from Levying Fines and penalties on american hostages and detainees when they are held abroad. Seems common sense. Correspondent Madeleine Rivera explains from here in d. C. [cheers] the joy unmistakable as paul whelan, Evan Gershkovich and return to the u. S. Early august. But after release comes reintegration and that brings another set of challenges imagine all of the things that sort of fall by the wayside when you have been really off the grid for a year or more.

Penalties and interest that piled up on my unpaid taxes that i was unable to file when i was in prison. Bill for unpaid taxes interest eventually grew to a total sum of about 20,000. While the irs says it is prepared to worked with freed hostages and detainees to provide the maximum Penalty Relief available under federal law, it is limited in what it can do would why we add insult to injuries to make penalties and interest on top of tax bill. Senate is calling on the house to take action after it passed bipartisan stop tax in may. A few dozen americans. They deserve our attention. They deserve our support. They deserve our prayers. Rezaian is hopeful there will be progress to help future and former detainees get life back together. We should be doing everything as a country to make it as easy as possible for these folks. While senators chris coons and mike rounds are focused on getting the irs to waive fines and penalties there doesnt appear to be any effort in congress to provide private companies for relief for freed hostages.

We work tirelessly to return all of our hostages. We do this in two main ways, through negotiations and Rescue Operations. Both ways together require our Military Presence on the ground and unceasing Military Pressure on hamas. The pressure is still being applied throughout gaza and now on mediators who havent given up on reaching a ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. Now, with this latest hostage rescue, there there are an estimated 108 hostages still being held in gaza. Some living, some presumed to be dead. Many of their families have spent a lot of time both protesting and trying to push israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make a deal and bring them all home now. Bret .

Ayatollah alli ha man nay set clear lines for talks but added there is no harm in engaging with its enemy. As the u. S. Military bolsters its presence in the middle east to try to deter iran there are new concerns tonight that the heavy focus on that part of the world is creating vulnerabilities elsewhere. Chief National Security correspondent Jennifer Griffin explains from the pentagon. Defense secretary lloyd austin has ordered two u. S. Aircraft carrier groups to remain in the gulf of oman amidst ongoing tensions with iran. Both the uss lincoln and uss Teddy Roosevelt are within triking distance of iran and tehran knows it. A not so subtle effort at deterrence. Such a move comes at a cost for the first time in three years the u. S. Does not have an Aircraft Carrier strike group in the indopacific. The uss George Washington pulled into port in san diego late last week for maintenance and is likely not to be underway until late next month it. Then takes the Carrier Strike group at least two weeks to reach the pacific. How long do you expect to have this carrier gap . You know, look, im not going to get into Deployment Timelines for operation security reasons. The bottom line is we can walk and chew gum at the same time. This comes at a dangerous time as the u. S. Tries to dissuade china from any military am divisions targeting taiwan or islands in the south china sea. The last time the u. S. Had a carrier gap in the indopacific was in august 2021 during the afghan withdrawal. National security adviser Jake Sullivan is in beijing today to try to manage the tensions.

Bret welcome back to special report. Lets take a look at where the trump and Harris Campaigns are Holding Events this week. Former President Trump and his running mate j. D. Vance focusing on the midwest as we reported earlier. Vance held a rally in big rapids, michigan. Today, thursday, former President Trump will hold an event in that state as well. Both the former president and his running mate also have separate events in pennsylvania and wisconsin this week. Friday, actually former President Trump holds a rally in johnstown, pennsylvania. Now, Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate tim walz will begin a bus tour down in georgia on wednesday. They will visit locations in the southeastern part of the state near savanna. And since the candidates cant be everywhere all at once. Also targeting swing states with new ad campaigns. I know what Home Ownership means and sadly right now it is out of reach. We will end americas housing shortage. Bret Vice President harris recent ads focus on housing costs. The campaign is also hosting 20 events across a dozen states. About that plan. Former President Trump posting ads to media that criticize the harris economic plan. Everyday prices are too high. Food, rent, gas, backtoschool clothes, that is called bidenomics. Bret ad impact these four states . Pennsylvania, michigan, georgia and wisconsin are where the candidates have events this week. They are also among the most target for Television Ad spending as you can see millions of dollars, democrats are outspending republicans in each state. If you add it all up by about 85 million across all four states. Now, some of that spending could be paying off for the Harris Campaign early, according to some of the latest Battleground State polls, according to the real clear politics average of polls, it is very tight, the former president now has just a slight lead over Vice President harris in pennsylvania. She has been slowly narrowing that margin. In wisconsin, you can see that the Vice President has a one point lead there. Both considered tossup states according to our fox news power rankings, former President Trump is still expected to carry georgia, is he there ahead by now just. Michigan, michigan clearly leads democrats for Vice President harris, has a 2 point lead over the former president. The Trump Campaign still sees michigan as a possible pickup and theyre campaigning heavily in that state. Lets all remember gas was 2 a gallon. [cheers] housing was affordable for young and old alike. Kamala harris is the candidate of american decline. We should be doing everything we can to make it more affordable to buy a home, not less. Even though by most metrics, the economy is doing better and its on fire. What people do is they vote with the economy can be better bret with that lets bring in our panel the Washington Post columnist and American Enterprise enstuart marc thiessen. Guy benson and meghan haste. Democratic strategist you look at those polls and narrow split how essentially it is tied in the biggest states. It is something as you look around the country. Its actually incredible. It will be interesting to see the polls coming out of convention for democrats if that makes any moves. People are starting to Pay Attention now. Debate will have a impacten aas well. The polls are tight and i think its going to a slog down to the end and just like we were talking about in that package, the economy is going to be the focus. The Vice President and governor walz need to lay out. We have news on that guy, cnn harris and walz sit down with cnn, exclusive interview. Interview conducted by cnns chief Political Correspondent dan that garb air thursday. 37 days since her candidacy began generated a swell of thusm, momentum. But her lack of formal News Conference or interview has generated criticism from republican rivals. I would add to that, there were democrats concerned about politics specifics, too. 40 days later. So soon . Are we sure they are not rushing into this . This has been preposterous. Not a single interview for either of them since she became de facto and official nominee. Nearly 40 days ago. And there are so many questions that need to be asked of both of them but particularly her. Im glad they are finally doing one. And so many of them surround what i view as irreconcilable flipflops from her previous stated positions on national television, including network and many forms that she does a president ial candidate versus what her campaign has put out in various statements and tweets and Press Releases are her new supposed beliefs. You cant really square them easily and it could be fascinating to watch her try if she is actually pressed on it. Bret i think dana bash has had that before. Done that before. Pressed candidates. She did so in the debate and was praised by even former President Trump. Yeah. Well they have taken that should be routine and turned it into a really high stakes event where dana bash fate of the candidate in her hands. Thats happened before and didnt go very well for the democrats. In that debate. Look, guy is absolutely right. She is flipflopping on everything. She was against a wall. Now she is for a wall. She was against fracking, now she is for fracking, she was for banning private Health Insurance now she against it. For medicare for all now against it. Green new deal for it now against it. Decriminalizing illegal border crossings, for it now she is against it. The list goes on and on. Its not a finger in the wind. Its one of those Wind Turbines they want to make us all depend on. So she has got to not just explain the new positions and get her ducks in order, but explain why. Why did she change her position . Is it just because political expediency or what did she discover about fracking . Why is fracking a good thing now when she was going to get rid of it . Why she sponsored the Green New Deal in congress. Why is she now going against the legislation she proposed . There are so many questions that need to be answered. Bret meghan, do they have the answers to those questions and be 30,000 feet and ride the vibe from chicago . I mean, i think she does have answers to a lot of these questions, the most important thing that she needs to focus on is the economy and laying out those policies for the economy i think they are going to vote on her policies are going to make them feel better about their place in the economy food on the table. So i think where these issues are people want answers to, people want to hear what she thinks on the economy. I hope danna will do that. Bret here is the rnc chairman on the debate. The Trump Campaign at least, the former president has put out they have a deal on this debate. Here is what the rnc chairman said. President trump made it very clear, he wants to he wants to have debates. He wants to have these conversations. And i think that the American People really should relish the opportunity to see Kamala Harris standing up at a podium for 90 minutes straight without notes and trying to tell people where she stands on these key issues. Bret there is this back and forth. We dont have a official response from the Harris Campaign. Trump campaign has said that is a deal, the rules will be the same as the last cnn debate. In other words, no audience, muted mics, i just cant believe that the mics either way is going to effect whether September 10th happens. They already said no to september 4th. Well, if i recall correctly, the Harris Campaign weeks ago said the debate over the debate is over and they reopened the debate because they realized they could push their luck further. Bret why with the open mics . Do you think she wanted to have those moments im talking . 100 percent. Absolutely right. She sees as a huge plus optically for her donald trump interrupting her so she can then have her im speaking moment which will go viral. Bret which she did with mike pence. They already have the tshirts printed up. They need that moment and they will try to manifest it. These were her rules. The bidenHarris Campaign said all or nothing, take it or leave it. Mics off and no audience and all the rest of it. This is our rules and donald trump said yes. And now they want to change the rules. Why does she want to change the rules . Because it backfired on them. Because biden couldnt fill 90 seconds. I mean literally there was a point where i dont know if it was dana and jake and said mr. President, you have 70 more seconds to speak and he had to come up with some word salad to fill that up. Is she less is she not confident that she can fill 90 seconds without donald trump interrupting these are their rules. Bret here is Jonathan Turley on superseding indictment by the Special Counsel jack smith same packaging just less product inside. What they did was kept the four charges and they just took out any evidence that clearly would have contradicted the Supreme Courts decision on president ial immunity it does not hold together in my view very well. I dont even think it solves the problem. National review, a Federal Grand Jury returned a new indictment against former President Trump tuesday on four charges for attempting to overturn the 2020 president ial Election Results following this Supreme Court decision. The details of the superseding indictment are slightly altered to remove aspects of the charge could fall under official acts. Meghan, it doesnt seem like this is going to go forward. Not only that, you have the challenge to the Special Counsel whether he it was in the right way from that judge in florida. But, does this run the risk of firing up the right in some way about lawfare in general in the election that really wasnt talked about in chicago that much. Sure, but i also think it could fire up the right. Its also going to fire up the left. A lot of people will not forget january 6th and what happened. I think not a legal expert so i cant even begin to say where this is going to go. You know, people will not forget. It was a very popular issue or a very top issue for people in 2022 and has the potential to be a top issue in 2024. I think we have to wait and see. I dont think that people will ever forget what happened on january 6th. En the right or the left. Bret if you look at top issues and deciding to vote for president , our poll says the economy overwhelming, immigration, abortion, threat to democracy has not really risen to the top and wasnt talked that much at the dnc, guy. Guy number one issue as you said was the economy. You were just talking about how Kamala Harris has to say what she would do on the economy and the problem that she is going to have is the problem highlighted in the trump ad that we played a clip of where she is effectively debating herself. She has a record. She is the incumbent. People are not happy with the record. Now she has to say oh, i would do Something Different in the next term. How . Why . Et cetera. Bret all right. Panel, thanks. Bret okay. Time to tuesday xtras. First up bill asks do you ever get frustrated when politicians robotically stick to talking points instead of responding to we. Yes. Yes. You ask once. Then you ask twice a different way. Three times the audience gets it and probably move on. Second up, genesis wonders did you call trump or did he call you . This is about the call after the Vice President made a speech at the dnc. We called the former president and the campaign and said would you like to respond . We have time. We did have a hard out at 11 30 which is why i got rushed at the end but we were the initiator there from reaction from the former president. Next up te. Hard ball asked what was your first car . Mine was a 65 vw with no radio. Mine was an 80 ford granada. Really a tough car. Finally britney asks who selects the songs before did you go commercial break. Song lyrics usually soyinka with the stories before commercial breaks. Very funny. We plan it that way. The staff spends all day. We come up with the stories in each one of those segments. The last story then i get a list of possibilities for songs. And then i choose one of those songs. So hopefully it matches new polls from swing states president ial election. Dont miss that remember, if you cant catch us live set your dvr 3 00 p. M. In the east and 6 00 p. M. On the west coast. Fair, balanced and still unafraid.
