we ll talk to a mom who attended the hearing about what she saw. we begin with breaking news on the legal trouble surrounding former president donald trump. more of trump s co-defendants in the georgia election interference case are turning themselves in. a short time ago, lawyers kenneth chesebro and ray smith surrendered to authorities in fulton county, georgia. this came hours after david shafer and cathy latham turned themselves in. one time trump attorney rudy giuliani says he is heading to atlanta today. i m going to fulton county to comply with the law, which i always do. i ll i don t know if i ll plead today, but if i do, i ll plead not guilty and i ll get photographed. isn t that nice? a mug shot for the man who probably put the worst criminals in the 20th century in jail. and now a source familiar with his plan says donald trump
just not too long afterwards that s when we re going to see people go to the jail and turn themselves in. we just have gotten a new consent bond agreement for sidney powell, that bond is set at $100,000. that means we re on watch for surrender, really any moment, jose. and, joyce, we re going to witness a former new york city mayor, former federal prosecutor turning themselve in. what are your thoughts on that? well, this would be a routine process if it was any other case, jose. defendants typically aren t given this much courtesy and leeway about showing up to surrender and begin the process. here fani willis decided that that was the right thing to do. but when rudy giuliani makes the comment that you played earlier, talking about how he was the prosecutor who put some of the most important crime figures of the last century in prison, he s talking about the work he engaged in prosecuting members of the mafia. and it is a stunning sort of moment to see rudy giuliani accused under

participant friendly for these defendants. their lawyers will go over and prenegotiate their bond amounts. then they will be booked, they will be fingerprinted, they will have their mug shots taken, there will be conversation about what they must and must not do until they appear during the week of september 5th for arraignment. this happens in every criminal case. our hyperfocus here is allowing us to understand how this process works. for every other defendant in the criminal justice system, to the extent that people like rudy giuliani are suggesting that it is something remarkable or unusual, the only thing unusual is that they re receiving a little bit of extra deference to speed the process through. and, blayne, three of the trump co-defendants, we were just talking about that, mark meadows, jeffrey clark and david shafer are trying to get their cases moved to federal court. what is the latest on that? reporter: it is a race against time on several fronts.
