criminal charges involving classified documents found at his home. but it is his latest indictment on the capitol attack that may lead to new court restrictions on the former president. in a court filing last night, special counsel jack smith seeks to stop defense lawyers from sharing copies of evidence with trump that is deemed sensitive. smith said he feared what the er psident would make public. writing, if trump, quoting now, were to begin suing public posting details or for example grand jury transcripts ined in discovery here, it could have a harmful, chilling effect on witnesses, or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case. end quote. and smith flagged trump's online post from yesterday, as an example, it says, if you go after me, i'm coming after you. a trump spokesperson said the comment was the definition of political speech. and it had nothing to do with the case. trump in alabama yesterday, kept up his condemnation of the prosecutions against him and made this declaration. >> every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. we need one more indictment to close out this election. one more indictment and this election is closed out, nobody has even a chance. >> the next hearing in trump's indictment on election interference is august 28th. five ds after the first republican primary debate. and that's just one of how his multi-case court schedule is colliding with list campaign schedule. cnn's jessica schneider takes a look at what is ahead for the former president. >> things are already moving quickly, in the latest criminal case against the former president. the special counsel's team has to submit the recommendations for a trial start date next week, august 10th. at that point trump's legal team will have seven days to respond. and they have already said they will be pushing back against any rush to trial. the speedy trial act actually does say that a trial should happen 70 days after a defendant appears in court. so 70 days from thursday. but trump's team can move to have that date pushed back. which is very likely something they will do. in fact, trump's attorney told the judge in court on thursday, that in his view there is way too much evidence to sift through in the 2020 election case to move too quickly toward a trial date. and of course, up to this point, part of the trump legal playbook has been to delay, delay, delay. now as for trump, he railed against the prosecution on the tarmac of the dc airport after his arraignment and he said it was all political, part of the biden administration's plan to thwart his 2024 bid and he was back on the campaign trail, just hours later, on friday, speaking to republicans, and we could see more legal trouble for the former president, in the next couple of weeks, that's when we're expecting action from the district attorney in atlanta, georgia. it could really mean more charges against trump, related to his and his allies attempts to overturn the election results in georgia. so a lot that the former president is confronting, on the legal realm. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. let's talk more about all of this, let's bring in former federal prosecutor and author of a spy in plain sight. good to see you. so we make it clear here on what the special counsel wants in his new court filing, the former president can view all of the evidence, right, he just cannot have copies of specific pieces of evidence for fear jack smith's fear, that he might disseminate it publicly. how do they go about that? >> well, i understand why smith did this, as a prophylactic thing, saying look, even that tweet yesterday is threatening so it is indicative that trump will be releasing more and more evidence as it comes out. but i think it's a little too early for the judge to act now. i think the judge will act after, and when it happens, if and when it happens, that trump actually does disseminate something that will be classified, and that would be, you know, shouldn't be disseminated by a defendant or defense attorneys. once that action happens, one tweet, after the evidence is given to him, after the discovery has been given, then the judge could shut it down. i think it is a little too early for her to do it now, fred. >> even though there is precedent that the former president tends to make things public, and doesn't necessarily weigh all of the time the possible ramifications, so might the judge take that into consideration and perhaps consider that kind of motion early? absolutely take it into consideration. but again, i think it's too early to say, because this judge is just, you know, presiding over this case, right? so once something happens that is untoward in this case, then the judge can act, and then of course, jack smith will bring in the other examples that has happened before. but i think, i may be wrong, we'll see, but i think it's just a little too early for the judge to act on this, and as far as the threat goes, yes, it is a threat, but it is not for the individual person, like the prosecutor, that then would be shut down. but right now, it is probably deemed to be political speech. >> gotcha. and the special counsel also is seeking that the judge not wait for a defense response on this filing. would that be -- >> yes. >> understood. you know, that's not particularly unusual. look, jack smith is very atuned to this. and there have been threats in the past and there has been the dissemination of information that shouldn't be out there, so he is on top of it, i just think that this judge is going to be obviously, wanting to be deemed as fair to both parties and i think to just wait a beat but to know that the path is there and indicative of what might happen in the future. >> and just hours after trump threatened to go after whomever goes after him, and he said this about jack smith. >> but despite the demented prosecution of a corrupt and highly partisan department of injustice, and deranged jack smith, doesn't he look deranged, did you see the picture with the purple robe, he is a deranged human being, we're getting stronger by the day, somebody said, you should treat him nicer, maybe he would be nice, let me tell you, this guy is a lost soul, bad guy, they don't get nicer, he is a deranged sick person. >> okay, so we know his attorneys would wish he wouldn't say anything, but you have to wonder, you know, as well, you know, at what point is it considered, whether it be the judge, or you know, the special counsel, consider this harassment, consider this dangerous, that there would have to be, whether it be a gag order, or something imposed on restricting the language of the defendant. >> right, well, it's interesting, if you conflate the statements that he made, if you come after me, i'm going after you, with the jack smith statements about what a deranged individual you are, then you would have an absolute threat. but here, he has said them separately. he has said he's deranged, all of that, and that's free speech, and he's allowed to say, even though it is wrong, he's allowed to say that, what he's not allowed to do, and this kind of gets to the crux of the case, is he's not allowed to make steps toward a conspiracy to overthrow the election after he said all of these things. saying them is one thing. but taking action and getting others to cooperate, that's a whole other thing. and of course, that's illegal. just like you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, you can't get people, you can't incite people, you can't get people involved in your conspiracy. >> we'll keep it there for now. see you soon. i'm sure. >> thank you. have a great saturday. >> you too. now, to the war in ukraine. and an overnight attack on one of russia's biggest oil tankers in the black sea. a source telling cnn that a sea drone carrying almost 1,000 pounds of explosives hit the ship. video shows the moments leading up to the attack. russia says the ship was not carrying oil but a ukrainian source claims it was full. cnn's nick paton walsh looks at the escalating situation in the black sea. >> we're now beginning to perhaps see a new ukrainian tactic, the black sea itself shipping lanes, now repeatedly under attack, by ukrainian drones, and ukraine being fairly public about its responsibility for these attacks. we have the attack against an amphibious landing craft, and now it appears that a russian oil tanker, which ukrainian officials say was carrying fuel for the military campaign, that again hit by a ukrainian drone. also, according to ukrainian officials, carrying just shy of half a metric ton of explosives. that may suggest perhaps a similar model to that which was covered in another overseas attack. but this oil tanker carrying 5,000 tons of fuel, significantly ablaze, and according to the russian official statements, the 11 crew escaped unharmed and difficult to work out where the truth lies, where they are saying the attack was unsuccessful. at the same time, this attack appears to have occurred, one russian official suggesting that there is sound of explosion around the bridge, and it may end up being an attack, anti-aircraft fire, but i think an increasing sense of that area, so vital to russian interests, being increasingly under ukrainian attack. and ukraine itself now quite capable of projecting power, it seems, these drones an ingenious way frankly to getting toward things that the russian naval military would presumably imagine were relatively in vulnerable, this becoming something that we're not seeing, perhaps a bit by ukraine, to try and project power in a successful way, away from the slow ground, and comparative lack of progress they're seeing on the southern counter-offensive front, but certainly a shock for the kremlin to start seeing these incidents, this kind of frequency. nick paton walsh, cnn, zaporizhzhia, ukraine. >> thank you very much, nick.

>> to the orchards here in northern michigan. >> a disconnect between increasing signs of economic strength and persistent feelings of economic pessimism comes alive. >> we've been through a lot. we're somewhat optimistic but perhaps a curve ball. >> democratic governor gretchen whitmer says she understands the lingering unease as the nation emerges from pandemic and can see the biden economics, with job creation and drug costs is not fully felt. >> there is a lot more communication that needs to be done between now and next year's election without question. >> is that the burden of the president himself? >> it is on all of us. we would all benefit if we spent a little bit more time touting some of the great victories over the last few years. >> michigan is the pillar of biden's blue wall, along with wisconsin and pennsylvania, they are three states donald trump carried in 2016, but turned to biden in 2020, and will be critical battlegrounds in 2024. >> i don't think anyone should take an election for granted regardless of what the matchup is. >> as the president touts his economic policies, it is clear he still has some explaining to do. >> what does biden omics mean to you? do you know what that means? >> i have absolutely no idea what it means. but i think it is biden trying to put together some positive things for the economy. he has stepped across party lines. to get a few things done. >> inside the clothing company in charlevoix, the owner steers clear of politics but she says she feels a brighter mood after the pandemic. >> what we all went through in 2020, we're kind of still in that doom and gloom mindset, but i do feel like things are improving definitely. >> while inflation has cooled, high interest rates and prices contribute to a mixed economic climate. >> i waited for prices to go back to normal and they're not and this is the new normal. >> it is not like salaries and wages have kept pace with that, so people are struggling a bit. >> the president carried michigan by nearly 3 percentage points and visited often, including a stop at king orchards where owner john king has endured high labor costs, supply chain challenges and inflation. he said his republican neighbors blame biden. he does not. >> i'm not disappointed in the president. i just think there's so much to overcome. >> the sentiment we heard in michigan is reflected in the new findings of the cnn poll that showed 37% of americans approve of the president's handling of the economy. now, white house advisers are well aware of these frustrations, and are trying to close that disconnect between the sign of a strengthening economy, and that lingering sour economic mood, and biden's re-election may depend on it. joining me to discuss is debbie wasserman schultz of florida. great to see you, congresswoman. >> you too, thank you so much. >> so i want to ask you about this new cnn polling that shows half of americans think the economy is getting worse, despite what the actual numbers show. and we have seen the president and the vice president going out to take credit for the improving economy. so why, you know, why is the disconnect there? >> well, i mean president biden, like president obama before him, inherited an absolute mess, coming out of the pandemic, from clearly the disastrous way that former president trump handled the pandemic, and he was able to not only make sure that millions of jobs were saved, and small businesses were prevented from going under, but now, he's begun to really get our economy turned around, and 13 million jobs created, near historic low unemployment, we have wages that are finally outpacing inflation, and so with the investments in clean energy and investments in infrastructure, and even reshoring manufacturing jobs, it is pretty clear that although we're making a lot of progress, the sort of hangover from the pandemic, which was obviously a century, unprecedented situation, that it is still causing melancholy, and also, the impact of those investments is going to take some time to bake in. but that's our job, to make sure that we communicate. >> and so now, this effort to, by the white house, to put the biden administration's name out and signs, particularly at road projects, to remind people, that this is part of this administration, this is who to credit. do you think this is going to make a big difference? >> i do think. just like with the american recovery and reinvestment act, during the obama years, making sure that the label, the infrastructure investments, and the wi-fi investments, and the superfund cleanup, and all of the investments that are being made, the jobs that are being brought back from overseas, the super computers that are going to be built as a result of chips being manufactured here, all of that has to be communicated very visibly, and also comprehensively and eventually you will start to see that baking in. you have seen improvements in the president's job numbers, improvements in his numbers overall, in terms of democrats and republicans being supportive of the improvements, but we've got to continue to communicate. and president biden and vice president harris and democrats across the country, including great governors like governor whitmer are really making time to do that. >> so those are the nationwide efforts. let's zero in on your state of florida now where the state's education commissioner is now telling superintendents of public schools that ap psychology classes can indeed be taught in florida schools. it comes after the college board issued a statement encouraging school districts not to offer the classes after it was informed that the state's education board reportedly told districts the course can no longer be taught if it includes lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity. so what do you make of the state's education commissioners about that now? >> this is now all on ron desantis. he is the epitome of the maga extremism whiplash. ron desantis and maga extremists, donald trump, the entire field of republican candidates for president, their focus is on culture wars, their focus is on taking care of the wealthiest most fortunate americans by supporting and passing ax breaks for the wealthiest that are unpaid for that blows holes in the deficit. they have nothing on their agenda, so all they can do is focus on culture wars, which includes trying to ban abortion nationwide. and that is the contest that you're going to have going into this election. do americans want to continue down the road that biden omics have taken us and invest in those jobs that are reducing unemployment and making sure that wages outpace inflation, that are making sure that we continue the 13 million job growth that we've had advanced, and what do we want to go down to or back to maga extremism that focuses on taking people's rights away and pits americans against one another. i think that is going to have an impact on this election. >> and speaking of florida governor desantis, a 2024 presidential contender, he has agreed to debate california governor gavin newsom on fox news and i'm wondering what your view is of that and how does that potentially help or hurt your party? >> you know, i'm focused on making sure that we can continue, me as a member of congress, on making the kinds of investments that can continue us moving down the road that we're moving down, and improving our economy, side shows, on fox news, are really not something that the american people are interested in, and they're interested in making sure that they can feel more comfortable on the firm economic ground that president biden is building, and as a democratic member of congress, i'm looking forward to continuing to help us do that. >> since you think that is a side show, is it concerning then to you that governor newsom would agree to it? >> you know, what's concerning to me is that we make sure that we continue to invest in our economy, that we continue to fight back against republican maga extremism, as we're doing in congress, and president biden has been doing, and that's what american people, i know my swa constituents want me to focus on the issues important to them, growing jobs, continuing to make the kinds of investments that we need to improve our economy and make them feel like they're on firmer footing. and what ron desantis does to try to breathe life into his nearly dead campaign really isn't something of concern to me. >> congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, glad you could be with us today. thanks for joining us. >> thanks. coming up, chaos in new york city's union square. how a social media star's give-away stunt sparked a riot and how police are now responding. next. like 2 2.5% cash bak on purchases of $5,000 or more, so sam can make smart ideas, a brilliant realality! chase for businesess. make more of what's yours. eva's about to learn her fear of missing out leads to overeating. i totally eat stuff to not miss out. and that's just a bit of psychology eva learned from noom weight. sign up now at noom.com i'm jayson. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. it helps keep me undetectable. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva is two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's really nice not to have to rush home and take a daily hiv pill. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way?

>> reporter: hey, fred, here we are a day later, and there is really a big sort of business as usual kind of mood here in the heart of manhattan, and if you look over my shoulder, not a lot of signs of what happened yesterday, there is some paint splattered at the construction site that was torn down by the mob just to the right, and you may be able to see it here, one of the workers here, you're seeing, a power washer, to get some of the paint off the floor. but look, this is certainly, this is a chaotic scene that unfolded yesterday. you mentioned what we heard from the nypd yesterday, saying in a matter of minutes, it went from a hue hundred to a few thousand individuals, namely young individuals who were drown here by promises of free play stations, free electronics, and other items, including gift cards, and things quickly spiralled out of control. we do know that at least four civilians and police officers were injured, as mentioned over 60 people were arrested and detained, half of them juveniles, that also includes this influencer himself and we don't want to give him any more publicity since we already know he had millions and millions of followers and one of the main reasons why we saw such a massive presence. in the meantime, we see the misdemeanor charges including inciting a riot and also one of these unauthorized assemblies. fred? >> and then what are we hearing from nypd? >> so they quickly caught up, they were certainly caught offguard yesterday, and quickly able to boost up their numbers going from a level two to a level four response and then i want to hear you directly from one of chiefs of the department as he specifically addressed influencers, they know they have a lot of power. >> you know, we have to reach out to some of our influencers, and ask them to be responsible with this, to help us with this. i'm in the against young people coming here. if we knew about this, we could have had the barriers out here, police on-site and he could have did this orderly. >> reporter: and here we are, a day later, and that really is sort of the lesson that remains here, what police, in terms of looking back on the last 24 hours, and what was done, and what was not done, they're certainly taking a closer look at the situation and what could have been done, but for sure, they were actively monitoring the chatter online, and they were expecting this to be a group of young individuals coming together, to have a bit of fun, but when you look at the pictures, you can see it was anything but that. but finally, and even calling on more parent involvement as well, according to the nypd. in fact there were parents that came out here yesterday, and as we heard, fred, from the police department, saying, they wish they would have seen more. >> all right, the volume of people turning out quite . coming up, new details this week on a possible u.s. plan to put troops on commercial vessels in critical middle east waterways to prevent iranian seizures. we'll discuss straight ahead. that's why subway's proffered by this champ. and this future champ. and d if we proffer it, we know you'll proffer it too. he's c cocky for a nineteen year old. the chase ink business premier card is made for sam who makes, everyday products, designed smarter. genius! like 2.5% cash back on purchases of $000 or more, sam can make smart ideas, a brilliant reality! chase for business. make more of wt's yours.

>> let's hope not. accepting loss when there is a legitimate loss is integral to democracy. 2020 did shake that up. part of why this recent indictment is so important, it's not just a test of the former president, it's a test for all of us. how important are these norms? how committed are we? we need to reestablish that. >> look at this new poll show latest charges against trump as serious. so have people become desensitized over the gravity of these indictments? i mean, we're talking 65% consider it serious. >> i think they might have. i mean, it's not just that poll. it's the fact that the former president remains far and above the strongest candidate in the republican primary. so in the republican party thus far, these haven't really affected how people perceive him as a candidate. so that numbing is very dangerous. that's part of why putting this out there, having a trial about what happened in addition to the january 6th committee is quite integral. we can't have people desensitized to just how dramatic, just how unprecedented and dangerous that entire campaign to overturn the election was. >> in an op-ed, yowrote, while the bar must remain extraordinarily high for any administration to take legal action against a former president, it is a necessary response in the case of trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 el. when the alleged crimes are so egregious that they threaten the stability of our democracy, accountability is vital. why do you believe democracy is at stake here, that it is at the core of all that is taking place? >> because this unprecedented several months that surrounded the election really was dangerous, and it could have gone a very different way. in the end it was resolved and the correct winner is president. but there are a million moments when this could have gone in a different direction. so there are moments where the law is necessary and to have a trial to really hold even the former president accountable for this and to see what a jury has to say about the evidence. >> when you consider the events of january 6th, we are still hearing lawmakers who are downplaying the severity of what happened. why do you believe that is? >> i think it's a partisan strategy. i think many republicans have decided that supporting the former president, accepting election denialism is good for the gop, that it rallies the party. this is the new anti-communism for republican politics. they see the former president's poll numbers and they just double down. so i think this really is about what's happening right now in the republican party. it's about partisan incentives and perceptions. that's why everyone's scrambling to see how we can push this in a different direction so this is not acceptable even if we have vast differences over policy and other issues. >> do you see this process, regardless of potential trial outcome, as a possible correction 50 years after president ford preemptively pardoned richard nixon for his role in the watergate break-in? >> i do. regardless of how this plays out politically, it was important for the justice department t
