Welcome everyone to viewers in the United States and around the world. Yes, it is friday, so happy friday. Im amara walker. Former President Trump is set to speak at an Alabama Party dinner in montgomery. He will likely have more to say about his arrest and arraignment on four charges stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump carefully enunciated his plea of not guilty before a Magistrate Judge. After the Hearing Sources tell cnn that trump was, quote, pissed off. Chris wynn has more on thursdays historic events. Reporter in an historic move, donald trump was charged with conspiring to overturn the results of a 2020 election which prosecutors say fueled the violence riots on our Nations Capital on january 6, 2021. This is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in america. Reporter trump appeared before a Magistrate Judge thursday. He is charged with Conspiracy To Defraud the United States, conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, obstructing a congressional proceeding and conspiracy against voting rights. The government assumed the burden of proving that. The government in their indictment takes the position that he had actual knowledge that he had lost the election and it wasnt stolen through fraud. Reporter trump now facing 78 criminal charges total across three cases while still the frontrunner is for the nomination for president. What President Trump did, he said Go Patriotically and peacefully and protest. That is an american right and why we are america. Reporter trump has pleaded not guilty in the three cases against him. Chris wynn reporting. And the scheduling for the trial that was laid out thursday suggests that the Presiding Judge intends to stick to the constitution promise of a speedy trial. More now from cnns paula reid in washington. Reporter former President Trump in federal Court Thursday pleading not guilty to the four felony count thats is facing. And the judge who will oversee it through a possible trial giving the government just seven days to tell her when they will be ready to take it before a jury and how long the jury trial could take. Defense attorneys are supposed to give her the same information just a week later so that she can possibly set a trial date at the next hearing which is in august 28. That is a pretty quick turnaround for these kinds of decisions suggesting that the judge would like to move it along quickly. It is unclear at this point if this case really will go to trial before the 2024 election. One of the big outstanding questions that could really impact possible schedule is if the Special Counsel intends to add additional charges or additional codefendants. We know from our reporting that they will continue to interview witnesses over the next several weeks suggesting that there could be additional charges which could impact that time line. Paula reid, cnn, washington. Former President Trump reportedly remained angry on the flight back to bedminster venting his frustrations on social media and spinning his arraignment as a win for him. Kristen holmess has more. Reporter former president posting on truth social that this was him being arrested by a political opponent who was losing to him in the polls and calling it a very good day. Obviously this is how he reacts. But people tell me that he is angry, that this is not something that he wants to be doing is getting indicted, he wants to be running for president again in 2024. But as we have reported over and over again, we are at a point where the legal and political are one in the same. His arguments for the political are that he has to win because he is being persecuted in the court of law. And so it is interesting to see, but obviously as we know now, he is lashing out, so well see what he says on friday when he attends a dinner in alabama where he is speaking to the Republican Party there. Kristen holmes, cnn, washington. This is former President Trumps third arraignment in just four months. So those cases plus another that may be filed soon in georgia pose numerous potential schedule conflicts with trumps run for president. And brian todd sorts it all out for us. Reporter these Criminal Cases can be dizzying. There ara total of four Criminal Cases that the former president has been investigated in, three where he has been formally charged a paded not guilty the january 6 case that he was just arraigned in on thursda where is he charged with four federal proceedings and ting Conspiracy To Defraud the government. And then there is the maralago documents case where he faces counts related to the allegedly illegal retention of documents at his florida estate. Case brought by the manhattan ey d. A. Where he faces 34 counts of falsifying Business Records related to hush money payments. Those are the cases where donald trump has already been indicted. Enhere is the georgia case where an indictment could come soon focused on his efforts to overturn the Election Results in that state of georgia. And in just about a week, august 10, he will be arraigned on three additional charges brought in the maralago case but he is not expected to attend that hearing. Also likely in august, could be a decision on an indictment in the georgia case. Now, as far as when the actual trials in the cases will begin and how they square with the Election Calendar for next year, two of the cases hes been indicted in are schedu start in the middle of the primary season. Suesday is on march 5, 2024 and there a several other primaries during that month of march. And the first case to begin, first Criminal Case to begin, the manhattan d. A. Hush money ial is scheduled to start about three weeks after super tuesday on march 25th. In the maradocuments case, a Pretrial Hearing is scheduled for ma. Trial itself could begin as early as may 20th. On the Election Calendar are several primaries in the month of may. And deadline for the nomination is on may 31. But the maralago trial we need to point out could easily slide until later in the year. As for the case hes just been indicted in, the start date could be set during the next hearing in that case which is on august 28. Brian todd, cnn, washington. And speaking of the Georgia Election interference case against trump, Fulton County District Attorney fani willis says shes been the target of threats and harassment since the day she announced her investigation. Listen. Very grotesque things. Were on Family Television so i dont want to say all of them, because slave more whore. So you are receiving threats in connection with the grand jury investigation into the 2020 election in georgia . Im receiving phone calls that and texts excuse me, phone calls, emails and communications that are derogatory in nature. They dont always state what the reason is that they are calling but ive probably been calling the n word more times in the last 2 1 2 years than most people combined. Are some of these menacing phone calls mentioning the trump investigation, some of them . They certainly mention Different Things that would lead to you believe that maybe that is what their concern is. Willis has said that she will announce a decision on whether to charge trump by the end of this month. She also says calls and threats have been getting worse as that announcement is nearing. And just into cnn, video from a sea drone attacking a Russian Navy Ship operating in the black sea. A source tells Cnn The Strike was a joint operation by ukrainian forces. Nick paton walsh is live in zaporizhzhia with more. What more do we know about this attack . Reporter again a sign of unthinkable frankly happening to Russian Troops inside of russia. A port on the black sea where you can see in these images here, a drone appears to slowly he approach the ship. And a ukrainian source says it was hit by this divorce that carried just short of half a metric ton of payload. And there may have been 100 on board when this struck. So this now coupled with the attack on the Kerch Bridge Which again by Ukrainian Drone as well, showing that along the black sea, a place russia has felt comfortable with its naval forces, now deeply vulnerable to an attack like this. And reminder possibly that while Russian Forces may be holding in some parts of the Southern Front here against ukraine renewed counteroffensive perhaps seeing some progress in the east as well, regardless of that, ukraine is using new types of technology, drones like this, to target parts of what it would think, moscow would think, would be impregnable forces. And we are hearing that the ship is functioning back to normal. But this is startling particularly after the Drone Attacks on moscow as well. Again a sign as from president zelenskyy has been saying that the war gradually returning to russia territory. Appreciate the reporting. Thank you very much.

Judge overseeing trumps Election Interference Trial has also presided over dozens of trials of the january 6 rioters. In those cases district judge Tanya Chutkan has taken a strong stance against efforts to overturn the 2020 election. And now all eyes are on the federal judge as she prepares to oversee this case. Randi kaye has more. Reporter she has described the events of january 6 as a violent mob seeking to overthrow thely elected judge. Chutkan has a reputation as someone who hands down harsh sentences specifically with the january 6 rioters. Shes talked about 2024 and the threat that the rioters pose. Reporter and as a federal judge in d. C. , chutkan has presided over incidence of cringe cases against alleged january 6 rioters. Often outspoken at their hearings. At a hearing for two friends who had gone to the capitol, chutkan said it wasnt bill and teds excellent adventure and that they came to washington knowing full well the events of january 6. Their actions were an assaults on the american people. And she also called it a violent attempted throw overthrow of the government that almost succeeded. And she said this he did not go to the u. S. Capitol out of love for the country, he went for one man, one man in that sentence would be donald trump. Reporter and this wouldnt be the first time that chutkan has dealt with a case involving the former president. In november 2021, chutkan rejected trumps efforts to block the House Select Committee investigating january 6 from accessing more than 700 pages of records from the white house. In her ruling in that case, she wrote this memorable line president s are not kings. And plaintiff is not president. Chutkan has called the january of Violence Ans Assault On American Democracy saying rioters soiled and defaced the halls of the capital and showed the contempt for the rule of law. And repeatedly gone above what prosecutors have requested for prison sentences. And she also issued a warning about future Political Violence this december 2021. It has to be made clear that trying to stop the peaceful transition of power, assaulting law enforcement, is going to be met with certain punishment. Chutkan was born in jamaica and appointed by barack obama and served as a federal judge since the Senate Confirmed her 950. Before that, she spent more than a decade working as a public defender after graduating from the university of pennsylvania law school. Randi kaye, cnn. And lets bring in former federal prosecutor and author of spy in plain sight. Thank you so much for joining us. So we know that the next hearing is set for august 28 when the judge is expected to schedule a trial date. And we know that the prosecution is pushing for a speedy trial. Trumps Defense Counsel wants more time and perhaps will try to delay through or past the 2024 election. Will trumps other cases factor into setting a trial date and what time of a time line do you expect here . Perhaps they may factor into it. I expect a fast track, Rocket Docket even, but the judge will have to consider the other federal cases going on in maralago in florida which is now set for may. She may want to postpone it until june july. But on the other hand if the prosecutors are ready to go there, is only one defendant here, not multiple defendants as there are in the florida case. This may be a faster case to docket. And last i looked at the Criminal Justice statute, speedy trial statute, there is nothing in it that is an exemption for defendants that are too busy or running for president. So it will be set at that august hearing date. Why would it be a faster case to docket, do you see this as a much stronger case for the prosecution . It is not even that. Although i do because this is much more of a sxhoncommonsensi case. Someone is not happy and they try to overturn it. Bad common sense, but it makes more common sense than, you know, was he supposed to have the documents, was he not, what was his intent. That is a harder case. But i say that it is a Rocket Docket not so much because the prosecution has a stronger case or more commonsensical case, but just because there is only one defendant. So the judge doesnt have to look at different schedules and all those defendants go together. This is just one person in this indictment. Yes, there are unindicted coconspirators, but that doesnt matter. So the prosecution will be ready. Discovery will be ready. Discovery is pretty much right there in the indictment. It was a 45 page indictment. So the prosecution is ready to hand that over to the defense and that at that point the defense is just going to have to stay we need more time. But for w
