investigation of trump until the review is complete. i want to go to more from sarah murray in washington this morning. reporter: a judge granting donald trump s request for a special master to review the materials the fbi seized from the search at mar-a-lago. the judge writing because of trump s role as a former president the stigma associated with the seizure is in a league of its own. a future indictment would result in reputational harm of a decidedly different order of magn magnitude. a third party attorney outside of government will be tasked with sifting through thousands of documents to identify personal items and materials protected by attorney/client or executive privilege. while it does slow things down, which is bad for doj and their case. i think at the end of the day we re not going to see a lot of documents pulled by the special master. reporter: the ruling allowing u.s. intelligence agencies to continue their national security assessment. i don t think
good morning to viewers here in the u.s. and around the world, it is tuesday, september 6th and i m brianna keilar with john berman. in california, this morning, the state is bracing for rolling power outages as a brutal heat wave is expected to shatter the record for power demand. temperature in parts of the state hitting 115 degrees with no end in sight. not ideal conditions, obviously, for fighting wildfires. evacuations are now under way in riverside county where the fairview fire has killed two people and scorched 2,000 acres. yeah. in the northeast, though, a much different threat. flood watches are now in effect for more than 50 million people across 11 states. virginia to maine. some areas could see 7 inches of rain by this afternoon which is not good news for people in providence, rhode island. where heavy rains and flash floods closed i-95 in both directions yesterday afternoon. we re going to have much more on this ahead. this morning, officials in memphis are
plus, a florida federal judge has thrown a wrench into the doj s investigation of the documents, many of them classified, seized from the former president s home at mar-a-lago. granting trump s request for a so-called special master to review the evidence. this temporarily prevents the justice dedepartment s investigative team from accessing thousands of documents taken from mar-a-lago. we ll have more on that in a moment. first, drew griffin joins us with the details of this newly obtained video from georgia county. we should note, taken the same day a voting machine was breached in that office. what do we know? breaches, jim, of these voting machines in swing states are under investigation across the country. this one happened in coffee county, georgia. cnn obtained surveillance video at one of the offices where these machines were breached. and this was all done at the behest of one of donald trump s attorneys. i want to show you the video now. it s cathy lathem, the w
police are just identified the body of eliza fletcher, a school teacher and mother of two children. she was abducted while jogging early friday and now the man charged with first degree murder just wrapped his first court appearance. gary tuchman is live at the courthouse in memphis with more on this. what s the very latest? kate, ten minutes before this arraignment was scheduled for an accused kidnapper, it ultimately became an arraignment for accused murderer. we were informed by the memphis police that the body that was recovered last night was identified as eliza fletcher. such a sad outcome. this woman who was kidnapped on friday had been missing since then. before her body was found, the arraignment was scheduled in the court for cleotha abston. we saw him coming in. he was wearing a mask, hard to tell what his facial expressions were because of the mask, but he looked impassive, he looked impatient. he had handcuffs behind his back. the only thing he said was yes whe
american experiment. that s also why democrats, particularly the president, need to be more focused on persuasion, rather than just condemnation. naming the problem we face is important, but it is not sufficient. why you can t reason people out of something they weren t reasoned into, you can appeal to shared values and you can honor the republicans who protected the peaceful transfer of power. but the big picture is what we really need to keep in mind. defending democracy is a top concern for americans across party lines and we need to channel that in a constructive way, without falling into false equivalency and we can do that by staying true to the facts and applying principles without regard to partisanship. while also appealing to a set a spirit of patriotic grace. and that s your reality check. new day continues right now. an emotional back to school day in uvalde, texas. good morning, everyone. i m john berman with brianna keilar. the return to class has been a sou
