judge in washington, d.c. as the nation and american democracy face a critical test. the former president is scheduled to be in court tomorrow. last night federal prosecutors charged him with four separate counts in a sweeping indictment. the special counsel is alleging that trump was central in the plot to overturn the 2020 election and has charged him with conspiracy to defraud the united states, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. this historic indictment says that trump, quote, enlisted co-conspirators to assist him in his criminal efforts. it repeatedly references six unindicted co-conspirators. cnn has been able to identify five of those six. we'll be breaking down what roles they allegedly played in the effort to overturn joe biden's win coming up in a moment. paula reid is with us now. what more do we know about the new charges that trump is facing? >> this is very much expected. because these were approximately the charges that the former president said were in the target letter that he received in recent weeks. there are not a lot of new details, not a lot of new charges or surprises here. let's go through these. conspiracy to defraud the united states, that is sort of a catch-all charge there. you just have two people who were working together to defraud the government. you don't have to be successful. you can even be charged if you join the conspiracy at any time. then you have conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. there, of course, they're talking about the congressional certification of the electoral results. you have obstructing or attempting to obstruct an official proceedings. these are both pretty straightforward. the one charge that was a bit of a surprise, we learned about it from the target letter, was the conspiracy against rights. this is a civil rights charge, arguing that he allegedly tried to interfere with people's ability to exercise their right to vote. now, that is a little used statute, that could be one of the more challenging ones for prosecutors. but they put together a very dense, detailed indictment supporting these charges. now, i also want to read one quote from the indictment, they alleged that, quote, for more than two months, following election day, the defendants spread lies that there had been outcome determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won. and they sort of preempted his defense in the court of public opinion, which right now is that he has a first amendment right and they're infringing on his first amendment right. in the first few pages of the indictment, they say that, look, you have every right to claim fraud, to claim the election was stolen, but you can't then go and attempt to steal it. these are the charges that they're using right now to pursue that and there could potentially be additional charges added going forward. >> very interesting. we'll be looking for that. paula, thank you for taking us through all of that. special counsel jack smith says the january 6th capitol attacks that they were fueled by, quote, lies told by trump. the 45-page indictment lays out some of them in detail and cnn's daniel dale is joining me on that. daniel what are some of the lies that prosecutors are zeroing in on here? >> so, i counted 21 listed in that indictment. you can go from 18 to 25 depending on how you classify them. regardless, it is a staggering list. i'll take you through a few of them i think are especially rtant or revealing. the first one is the lie that vice president mike pence did have the right to reject joe biden's electoral votes. i think it is important because of how brazenly antidemocratic it is, that the president was asking his vice president to unilaterally cast aside the wishes of the people. it is important because of it is obstructive quality. this is a lie he was using to try to obstruct the government process of certifying joe biden's victory. how dangerous it was. this is a lie that put the vice president's life and that of his family in jeopardy on january 6th. and i think it is also notable because trump was repeatedly told by vice president pence and others that it was wrong and yet he persisted as he often did with the lies laid out in this document. the second one, i want to talk about, is the lie that the justice department had identified significant concerns that may have affected the outcome of the 2020 election this is notable because, you know, we know that donald trump says a lot of stuff, he tells a lot of lies and people sometime dismiss his rhetoric as just a guy talking or ranting or what you call it. this was different. this, according to the indictment, was a lie that president trump tried to get the justice department to tell in a letter to targeted states under the signature of the acting attorney general. so, trying to get the justice department, you know, a respected arm of the federal government, to itself promulgate these lies, trying to overturn the election. and i'll note there is another related lie listed in the indictment, when trump allegedly said, just say that the election was corrupt, he said to doj officials, and leave the rest to me and the republican congressmen. the third one i want to mention, brianna, the dominion lies, the lies that voting machines around the country had switched votes from trump to biden, relayed a lie that dominion was involved in, quote, massive fraud. this is important because it is an example of how trump kept saying absolute nonsense, even after it was debunked to his face, in conversations, in meetings with him. the indictment alleges that his attorney general, then his ting ag and deputy ag all told him it was wrong. we know his cybersy, election security arm did the same. he kept saying it nonetheless. this was far from the only case where we had this kind of thing. another example was the so-called georgia suitcases full of ballots from under the table we heard so much, he was told directly by the secretary of state of georgia and the top department officials this was wrong, he kept saying it, he said pennsylvania had 205,000 more votes than voters, he had been told that was wrong by a top justice department official, but kept saying it. this nonsense about vote dumps, the late night dumps we heard about in detroit and elsewhere, attorney general barr and others told him that was nonsense. that was just votes being counted as normal and yet again he persisted and kept telling the lie. >> it is a litany that list of lies spelled out in the indictment. daniel dale, thank you for taking us through that. we appreciate it. so much here, jim, to go throug through. this is a lengthy indictment with reference to co-conspirators as well. >> it references six co-conspirators in fact that trump, quote, enlisted to assist him in his criminal efforts. that's what the indictment read. our justice correspondent jessica schneider here to break that down, what we're learning about them. let's begin, first, here, the six of them as we know them, john eastman, sidney powell, jeffrey clark, kenneth chesebro, rudy giuliani and a sixth named consultant, none charged at this point. let's begin with rudy giuliani, perhaps the most well known, personal attorney to trump, pushed baseless fraud with the arizona house speaker without evidence, we should note, left a voice mail for alabama senator tommy tuberville asking him to slow it down. it being the certification of the election. what is his significance in here? >> he was really the one pushing and at the forefront of these false election claims. the way the indictment put it, they said he was willing to spread knowingly false claims. that kind of language really could be key to potentially charging rudy giuliani in the weeks or months to come because all of these co-conspirators, it is possible they could be charged. rudy giuliani's spokesman, though, he's pushing back big time on this. he says this indictment eviscerates the first amendment and he's really slamming this entire indictment here. rudy giuliani was the one we saw out front, you know, giving the press conferences, multiple press conferences talking before state lawmakers and arguing this in court. >> making the argument that they have a right to lie. co-conspirator number two, john eastman. he circulated this two-page memo for vice president pence making the case, the claimed legal case to overturn the 2020 election. this was central here because this was central to the former president's plans to reverse the vote. >> and he's really seen as the lead architect in this whole plot to use fake electors, to submit their fake certificates, and then use the former vice president to try to overturn the election results, which obviously the vice president never ended up doing here. >> he did not. and by the way, he testified in the especially counsel's investigation, something he didn't do in the january 6th committee, and one of the advantages that the special counsel had in making these charges. >> i will note, just one thing, eastman's attorney did respond to this, notably saying he's not participating in any plea talks with prosecutors, he plans to fight this at trial and even on appeal as well. >> to take away the idea that perhaps this was a pressure campaign on some of them to flip and turn states evidence. co-conspirator number three, sidney powell, of course, again, one of the most visible proselytizers of the baseless election claims. she filed a lawsuit against the governor of georgia falsely alleging massive election fraud through voting machine companies, software and hardware. one of the most essential parts of this whole thing, the whole idea that the voting machines were somehow flipping votes here. of course, fox news, famously lost a giant court case related to that. tell us what we know. >> in this indictment, it says that trump even acknowledged that her theories were, quote, crazy. it says it in the indictment. sidney powell did file four lawsuits in four different states, one of them being georgia. she had all these crazy theories saying that chinese software engineers and venezuelan officials had hacked into voting machines in several states. all of those theories debunked by the courts. we actually heard recently from a former georgia state senator talking about how sidney powell, john eastman and rudy giuliani were trying to push this on state law mmakers. here she is. >> but the people who were actually here, who made misrepresentations, who lied, right, to officials here in georgia with the intent to overturn the election, they were rudy giuliani, they were john eastman, they were sidney powell. so all of the unindicted co-conspirators that you all have been able to identify thus far, right, were the folks who were actually -- they were like the soldiers that were sent into the battleground states to actually implement the plan. >> one thing we should note, they call these crazy theories, but the crazy theories still held sway with a large percentage of the voting populous, republicans who still believe the election was stolen. there are three more co-conspirators, one jeffrey clark, alleged he attempted to use the department of justice to overturn the election. clark proposing sending letters to several states about identifying significant concerns about the vote. of course, those debunked as well. co-conspirator number five, kenneth chesbro, he sent rusy giuliani an email memo about this fake electors plot, central to the plan again to overturn the election. final co-conspirator as yet unnamed, this one a political consultant who helped implement a plan to submit fraudulent lates of electors to obstruct the certification proceeding, the indictment alleges this person sent giuliani email identifying lawyers in the six swing states who could assist in the fake elector plot. one point that comes across with all six of these is that this was not just about one state, it was about several states, as well as, of course, the national procedure, while the vote on january 6th -- >> this isn't over. the special counsel was clear to say that the investigation is still ongoing when he spoke briefly yesterday after this indictment was handed up. so these co-conspirators, they could be facing pressure to cooperate with investigators, something that eastman's attorney said he won't do, but maybe others are eyeing that possibility. >> possibility we'll continue to watch closely. six states as well as that national vote to certify the election. brianna, quite a broad ranging conspiracy as alleged by the special counsel. >> yeah. certainly is. let's talk more about it now with jameel javer, former counsel to the assistant attorney general for national security. thank you for being with us here. when you take a look at this indictment, how strong do you think the doj's case is? to you see any weaknesses here? >> they have a decent case if they can prove all the facts of the indictment. i think the challenge they face is twofold. one, they don't go -- they come up to the line of thinking about an insurrection charge, they don't charge it, right? that seems to be a defect, right? jack smith talked about it yesterday, at his press conference. he starts out talking about the heroism of the capitol police but doesn't charge that offense in the indictment. on top of that, these questions of free speech, the indictment itself says the president can, you know, say these things, tell these lies if he wants to, but apparently it says he can't go further and then conspire to obstruct the official proceeding or defraud the united states with his lies. that's a gray line and tough area, not one that is clear the supreme court might do it. >> a lot of critics looked what the trump said that day and said he incited people, he prompted people to go up there. but in your view, is jack smith seeing this as too much of -- coming into clash with the first amendment, that he feels that just may be a path that he won't succeed along? >> that's the hard part because we know what cassidy hutchinson told the committee. what she said was the president knew the people in the audience were armed. he said, let them come in, they're not here to harm me. raises the question, who were they there to harm? then he said to those people, go to the capitol, i'm coming with you, we're going to solve this thing. if that doesn't amount to insurrection, right, what does it amount to? you got to ask yourself, if it is okay to bring up the first amendment concerns with the defrauding the united states, why not raise the insurrection point, what is going on here? if he has a weak first amendment case, how does it not undermine his other case as well. >> in a conversation on january 1st, the then vice president mike pence told trump that he didn't think there was a constitutional basis for the vice president changing the election results, doing what trump was pressuring his vice president to do, and in response trump told pence, quote, you are too honest. how beneficial is that to prosecutors as they're trying to prove that trump knew all of this -- that it was lies? >> it is all of these things. it is not just what pence told him. it is what pence's counsel told the staff what his campaign officials told the president over and over again, you didn't win this election. there was no fraud. multiple state officials, republican state officials who supported and voted for donald trump told him there is no fraud in our states. he kept going out publicly saying there's fraud, talking about the pennsylvania voters, talking about the georgia voters, right? dead voters and the like. he knew at least based on what he was told by republican officials and all the states and the vice president, he didn't have a leg to stand on, the vice president wasn't with him, he tweeted out right before the certification of votes, the vice president and i are agreed he can act. >> but you're too honest, that implication of i'm not being honest, you're saying that doesn't necessarily matter? >> i think the people understand that donald trump has a different version of what facts are, he said it -- he told people, we all know that donald trump plays fast and loose with the facts. that should come as a surprise to nobody. he largely said himself, all the time. >> jameel, thank you so much. appreciate it. jim? trump and his team are reacting in much the same way, that they reacted to the first two indictments, only this time now invoking nazi germany, also saying trump's actions are protected under the first amendment, including the lies. plus, gop lawmakers attacking the doj accusing the biden administration of a two-tiered justice system. we'll be live on the hill with new reaction, what they base that on. and special counsel jack smith praised what he calls the heroes who defended the capitol on january 6th. so what does this indictment mean for those officers? we're going to discuss ahead on "cnn news central." tourists tourists that turn into scientists. tourist taking photos that are analyzed by ai. so researchers can

>> reporter: and, jim, another key argument that john lauro laid out during that interview as well, donald trump was protected by the first amendment and by free speech when he was pedaling the claims that the 2020 election was stolen f you look at that 45-page indictment from jack smith and his team, they note that donald trump knew that the election was stolen but continued to spew those lies anyway. they also note that, yes, donald trump did have the right, like any other american, to challenge the election results, but he did not have the right, according to special counsel jack smith, to try and engage in a conspiracy to defraud the united states, nor to obstruct the january 6th proceedings. >> do they see any contradiction between the argument today and the former president's very clear and public attempts to interfere in the counting and of, for instance, the votes on january 6th or his pressure on multiple state officials in the last election? do they acknowledge any contradiction there? >> reporter: that is the contradiction, i think, that they're very much paying attention to in their argument is that donald trump genuinely believed that the election was stolen. of course, though, again, if you look at that 45-page indictment, you see that despite many of donald trump's allies, including many people in his own government were telling him that he did not win the election and yet he continued to co-conspirators and talk to them about, you know, the claims that the election was in fact stolen. >> or that comment to mike pence, you're too honest. elena train in bridgewater, new jersey, thank you so much. >> i know you're not surprised that none of this really changes anything when it comes to the former president's most ardent supporters on capitol hill, which is why we find melanie zanona. she has been talking to folks and working her sources. it seems as if the ones who have been supporting him all along are just upping their support for him? >> reporter: yeah, that's exactly right. and in fact republicans have actually been preparing the response for weeks now. and in some cases they have been coordinating directly with donald trump himself about how to best defend him. and in recent days, trump spoke to his top allies on capitol hill including elise stefanik about strategy. i'm told he sent talking points to capitol hill to help shape the messaging piece of this. and a lot of that messaging, as elena was alluding to, focused on really framing trump as a victim of a political persecution with speaker kevin mccarthy saying this is an attempt to attack threblican front-runner. elise stefan calling it a dark day in america and jim jordan saying trump did nothing wrong. but you'll notice most of the republicans are not addressing the substance of the charges. even though they were firsthand witnesses to the january 6th attack on the capitol. but our colleague phil mattingly pressed congressman michael walt, a florida republican, about trump's behavior surrounding january 6th. >> trump believed he was driving towards the truth, believed the election was being tampered with, that the democrats changed the rules under the guise of covid. it is not as though someone walked in on president trump holding a gun over a murder victim or he was caught selling secrets to the chinese or russians. these are incredibly complex legal theories that a lot of people are going to debate. >> reporter: so, clearly no signs of his supporters banning him, at least on capitol hill. in fact, marjorie taylor greene said i will still vote for trump, even if he is in jail. just quite a remarkable statement. we should point out that it has been a slightly different story in the senate. we have seen a much more muted response from republicans. still not yet heard from senate gop leader mitch mcconnell, he's been silent throughout trump's indictments and legal troubles and we're not expecting that to change this time around. >> mel, thank you for the very latest. pretty, i don't know, pretty eye opening to hear what republicans are saying up there. jim? up next on "cnn news central," special counsel jack smith who prosecuted in his career republicans and democrats is facing fierce attacks from the right. we're going to have more on the man behind the indictment. and later, a significant sentencing decision in the pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial. we're going to explain the jury's decision in the case coming up. don't let student loan debt hold you back. refi at sofi.com. you could save thousands and get to your goals faster. sofi. get your money r right.

>> first of all, the special counsel was absolutely right, the men and women of law enforcement were, in fact, heroes that day. i hope we never forget the actions that they took to defend the capitol. i think that's very important. people would not have been at the capitol on january 6th had it not been for donald trump and had not been for some of his allies. they would not have been there, and certainly in my opinion would not have attacked the u.s. capitol. so, we'll see how it plays out in court. but i don't pay much attention to politicians blowing hot air about things like this. let the courts, let the justice system do what it needs to do. >> how do officers who serve that day in your experience view this investigation, and these charges? do they view them as politically motivated or do they view them as a process, a legal process, to hold trump and others accountable? >> well, i would imagine you have a variety of opinions, but i would hope that they see this as a legal process that will result in accountability, should it be demonstrated and proven that he, in fact, did commit the crimes that he is charged with. the same with any co-conspirators that are there. as a police officer, you have to try to stay as objective as possible, and let the system do its job. but i imagine, like everyone else in america, you have a variety of opinions, but as a police officer, you have to be objective, just do your job, the same thing will apply tomorrow when the former president comes in to be arraigned. officers assigned there will do their job, do their duty. that's really what they're there for. >> before the violence of january 6th, of course the president for weeks had been attacking the system, the election had been stolen from him, others were standing in his way. there was that rhetoric. here we are now on the cusp next year of another election. the president is, again, attacking multiple institutions and including the justice department, the special counsel here. as someone like yourself, who led police forces, who did their best to protect cities including the capitol city here in washington, are you concerned that his rhetoric, once again, could fuel violent attacks? >> i am concerned. there is no question about that. and that's why it is so important that law enforcement pay real close attention to the threat picture. i'm sure that's what they're doing for tomorrow's arraignment. but you have to do it throughout this entire process. i was thinking about the vice president, for example, the former vice president pence. what is going to happen in terms of his security as he's on the campaign trail? there are issues that need to be addressed. they will be addressed, and it is a concern. the more the former president stirs the pot, and you have a lot of people that believe in him, that don't see what he's saying as being lies, then the bigger the challenge it is to keep everyone safe and secure, whether we're talking about having safe, secure elections or the physical safety of those people who are running for office, on either republican or democratic side. >> yeah, there is a reason many of them ask for additional security in the wake of january 6th. chief charles ramsey, thanks so much. brianna?

>> reporter: well, brianna, after more than nine weeks of trial, more than 100 witnesses called and the jury took just ten hours to deliberate over two days to come up with that sentence. the jury of five men and seven women recommending a sentence of death for 50-year-old robert bowers. of course, that is for the massacre at the tree of life synagogue that happened in october of 2018. there were three congregations, 11 people were killed, many more were injured, including officers and other congregants. i think one of the most surprising things, one of the most stunning things we saw from the courtroom today as the verdict was being read is the jurors really dispelled completely the arguments that the defense had mounted. the jurors did not buy any alternate theories for motive. there were no delusions that the jury said were present here. zero jurors said bowers had schizophrenia. they showed skepticism and were divided over history of attempted suicide and mental health in general. in contrast, the jury really clearly agreed with the prosecution that this was a preplanned attack, that this was motivated purely by a systematic hatred of jews and that robert bowers showed no remorse, not only at the time, but also in the years since this attack. and, brianna, i want to release a statement, we are finally getting some reaction from the families who were impacted that day, nearly five years ago. 97-year-old rose mallinger, she was one of the victims shot and killed at the synagogue, her daughter andrea wedner was there with her, she survived the shooting and we have a statement that i'm goingo read in part from the wedner/mallinger our justice system, and a testa message to all that this type of heinous act will not be tolerated. the statement continues, returning a sentence of death is not a decision that comes easy, but we must hold accountable those who wish to commit such terrible acts of anti-semitism, hate and violence. so, brianna, here's what's going to happen next. we're going to hear from members of the family on camera around 2:30. we're going to hear from the prosecution in a few minutes behind me at the federal courthouse. but i ask the defense if they had any comment on this defeat today. they did not comment to our cameras when we asked. brianna? >> all right, danny freeman, live for us from pittsburgh, thank you. now to some of the other headlines we're watching this hour, a wildfire burning across southern california and nevada, threatening thousands of rare trees that don't grow anywhere else in the world. the york fire already burned more than 82,000 acres, making it california's largest so far this year. and it is burning right in the path of thousands of joshua trees, which scientists say could take a lifetime to grow back. the fire is now 30% contained. it could be slowing down. also, nearly 100 days into the hollywood writers strike, both sides are heading back to the negotiating table. the writers gild says the studios have requested a meeting for this friday. the sticking points that led to the strike including pay, streaming rights, also artificial intelligence, its impact. some pharmacies are taking steps to help avoid another tripledemic. cvs and walgreens are offering customers their annual flu shots a bit early walgreens is offering the new rsv vaccine for eligible older americans. this is the ceo of pfizer says he expects the company's updated covid-19 booster shot to be made available next month. lots of shots. >> lots of shots. two of the indictments hanging over former president trump have one common denominator and that is jack smith, the special counsel, who secured both federal, criminal indictments against trump. so who is he? cnn's brian todd is here with some answers. brian, walk us through his career. >> well, brianna, donald trump has been frustrated enough with jack smith over the years to lash out at smith on more than one occasion. he called him deranged jack smith on at least one occasion. but smith does have a long record of investigations as owe prosecutor, usually keeping a low profile and with some mixed results. in the 1990s, he served as prosecutor at the u.s. attorney's office in brooklyn. there he won some tough cases against gang members and crooked police officers. he had two stints as the chief prosecutor for the special court in the hague, investigating war crimes in kosovo. he's also served as an acting u.s. attorney for the middle district of tennessee. those are some of the high profile jobs earlier in his career, brianna. >> and that brings us to his most recent stop at the justice department. >> that's right. we should point out, this is his second stint at the justice department. he was appointed by attorney general merrick garland last november to take over the two investigations involving donald trump, which led, of course, to these two federal indictments of trump. but earlier he led the doj's public integrity unit, that was from 2010 to 2015. as part of that, that's where he had some setbacks. he investigated democratic senator bob menendez from new jersey, indicted on corruption charges, but that case ended in a mistrial, also a judge kind of separately acquitted senator menendez. smith also oversaw an investigation into former house majority leader tom delay, a republican, but that probe ended with no charges being brought. and he headed that division of justice when the justice department investigated and failed to convict former senator and vice presidential candidate john edwards in a corruption case in 2012. so, brianna, a lot of high profile cases, kind of paling in comparison to what he's about to go through and we'll see how endures this enormous pressure. >> remember when the cases were giant deals, right? >> i do remember that. >> that puts things into perspective. brian todd, thank you so much. jim? >> cases against democratic and republican lawmakers, we should note. now that you know more about the special counsel, what about the federal judge assigned to trump's case?
