Well be with you guys throughout the entire day. Ken, we have an oping statement from Gordon Sondland. There are a lot of skipped areas in 23 pages. Opening statement will last at
least 10 minutes. From what youve been able to glean off of this, in a quick speed read what do you see as critical for sondland . Right. It looks as if there may be a bombshell or two in this. Thats what were looking for. Lets see what he says. He could revise this up to the
stories. a trial date set for the january 6 election interference investigation. d.c. judge assigned march 4 as the date ruling against donald trump s proposed date. it falls just a day before super tuesday and could work against the former president. and tropical storm idalia is headed towards florida s west coast with millions under mandatory evacuations. karen maginnis is joining us with the latest on the storm. unfortunately florida does get hit by tropical storms and hurricanes fairly frequently, but it is very important of course that people take this very seriously and are not remotely complacent about evacuating. exactly. because they have been impacted by so many tropical systems. ian last year just tore up southwestern florida, in particular sanibel island still recovering a year later. i was just there and you can see
now, speaking of trump and federal court today was also a big day in special counsel jack smith s election interference investigation. the judge presiding over that case, judge tanya chutkan, set a trial date of march 4th, 2024, adding to trump s already very full political and legal calendars that month. and that was not the only significant date that was set today. arraignments in the fulton county case were set for september 6th. trump s arraignment will be at 9:30 a.m. that day. the rest of the 18 co-defendants including rudy giuliani and mark meadows will continue after that at 15-minute intervals. and that is where we start this hour with atlanta journal-constitution political reporter greg bluestein and former deputy assistant attorney general and former united states attorney harry litman. welcome to both of you. thank you for being with us. harry, i just want to parse the mark meadows thing for a second. there are two legal arguments he s making. one is that what he was doin
unanimous jury to convict someone like donald trump on anything. it s part of why i think so many people have predicted who have done hard and complicated racketeering trials have said this is going to take a really long time. even just the voir dire process, when you actually talk to potential jurors about their inclinations and if they have biases, that process can take weeks or a month or longer in a case like this. it s part of what goes into the calculation of why we re trying to help our audience understand, this is a long road. also help our audience, what should we be looking to next, there s the meadows hearing on monday. monday is a big day. both of these cases, the meadows case in georgia and d.c., don t forget, tania chutkan who s overseeing the federal part of this election interference investigation, she s holding a hearing at 10:00 a.m. as well, to set a trial date, and donald trump wants it out two years
