the streets are cleared in atlanta for a possible indictment against donald trump there as a key deadline today in the federal january 6th case could give us a crucial indication of where that case is headed. a foiled assassination attempt on ukraine's president and the russian woman now in custody who allegedly was at the center of the plot. and 2024 presidential candidate and florida governor ron desantis now admitting donald trump lost the 2020 election. i'm omar jimenez with john berman and kate bolduan. this is "cnn news central." ♪ happening now, the streets around the courthouse in atlanta are closing, the police presence is building. a new indictment against donald trump in fulton county could come any minute. this for trying to overturn the 2020 election results there. so while we're watching that, a key deadline is approaching this afternoon in the federal january 6th case against trump. we could learn how the judge will approach the trump team's relentless efforts to delay the trial, to move the trial, and depending on how you look at t maybe even threaten those involved with the trial. a new social media post is now front and center where trump wrote, quote, if you go after me, i'm coming after you. cnn's jessica schneider is following all of this. good morning, jessica. the last 48 hours this flurry of activity back and forth with trump's lawyers talking to anyone who will listen, what's the upshot of it all? >> reporter: yeah, and the court filings in that flurry, john, will probably continue through the week. in fact, just minutes ago trump posted again in somewhat derogatory terms about the special counsel and the judge in this case, tanya chutkan. this is what he wrote, he said, deranged jack smith is going before his number one draft pick, the judge of his dreams who must be recused in an attempt to take away my first amendment rights. then he continues on. it's really posts like these that are exactly why the special counsel's team is asking the judge here, tanya chutkan to issue this protective order. it would restrict which evidence trump gets and also which evidence he can disclose publicly as this case moves forward because the special counsel in their filing about this over the weekend, they specifically cited several of trump's posts, they said that if trump were to post sensitive details once he got this information from the special counsel, like grand jury witnesses, it really could have this harmful chilling effect on the case. so as you mentioned, john, trump's team has to file a response here, they've already said they will oppose this protective order, that response is due by 5:00 p.m. tonight. it's one of these many fights we can expect in this case. in the coming days both sides have to propose a starting date for the trial. trump's team has said that they really want to delay this, maybe slow walk this, and trump and his lawyers are already talking about asking the judge to recuse herself, mostly because she's actually referenced trump in previous cases in sentencings for january 6th cases. trump wrote in a pt there is no way i can get a fair trial with the judge assigned. the ridiculous freedom of speech fair elections case. everybody knows this and so does she. we will immediately be asking for recusal of this judge on powerful grounds and likewise for a venue change out of d.c. trump previewing a request to change venue, too. i will note that that's something, that request to change venue, more than three dozen january 6 defendants have asked for this and it hasn't been granted. the judges each pro trump or trump appointees have denied those requests. meanwhile, trump's lead lawyer on this case, john lauro, he was all over the sunday shows pressing his case and what will be his case that trump is just broadly protected under the first amendment. here he is. >> you're saying that asking is action. no, asking is aspirational. asking is not action, it's core free speech. what president trump did not do is direct vice president pence to do anything. he asked him in an aspirational way. asking is covered by the first amendment. >> reporter: so, john, we are seeing trump's legal team come out in full force here, both on the airwaves, we're going to see a lot of court filings in the coming days and all as we head toward that next hearing in this case scheduled here in washington for august 28th. a lot to come. >> a lot to come and let's end where we begin, i didn't even know that trust posted again, the very type of activity that is in question over the next few hours. jessica schneider, you can't walk up the stairs for a minute without missing something as this all goes. thanks. omar? we are going to go to another jurisdiction we're keeping an eye on when it comes to former president trump. this morning the streets outside the already barricaded courthouse in atlanta are now being blocked off as a decision regarding trump's possible fourth arrest this year could come soon. fulton county da fani willis has signaled charges in her 2020 election case could come anytime now and the court is alerting city officials and residents that these dates could see potential road closures, you see them on the screen behind me here. nick valencia joins us now. nick, i want to start with you here that fulton county is taking security very seriously here. what are you seeing on your end? >> reporter: yeah, they are taking security very seriously here, omar. part of that of course has to do with the countless threats received by fulton county da fani willis. she started this investigation over a year ago, some of those threats have been credible. she's spoken about it publicly saying she's had to make changes to her own personal security and it has not helped the rhetoric from the former president, he's called fani willis a racist, saying that this investigation is politically motivated. it was last week already that we saw a protester out here echoing those talking points from the former president. now we're seeing security changes being made here. you see barricades set up, that happened last week outside fulton county courthouse, several road closures around fulton county, one of several indications that this sprawling investigation could be nearing its end. there is a heavier than normal police presence here and there are also, you know, this letter that fani willis sent to law enforcement to be ready between now and september 1st. there are currently two grand juries seated in fulton county, one of them is going to be tasked with hearing the trump case. 24 jurors are on each grand jury plus two alternates, 16 are going to be needed for quorum and it will take 12 of them to be in agreement for indictments to be handed out. again, omar, those indictments could happen any day now. omar? >> nick, so much to keep an eye on and, again, for a potential fourth indictment. thank you for staying on it. >> thank you. joining us for more on this, national security attorney bradley moss. bradley, it's great to see you. let's start -- let's run through a couple things and then i want to get to some of what john lauro the defenses he's starting to present as he blanket ed the sunday shows. first and foremost, recusal of the judge or getting the trial moved out of d.c. as we saw trump even posted about wanting the judge to be recused again this morning on truth social. what are the chances either of these things happen? >> extremely minimal. this crime happened in d.c., the alleged charges, all this occurred in d.c., the victim is in d.c. this trial is happening in d.c., and the recusal is extremely thin. yes, the judge made some remarks in january 6 criminal cases about trump, but the indictment as jack smith made it very clear is largely not about january 6 itself, it's everything that led up to january 6. so i don't see any reason to believe this thing is being moved or that she will be recused. >> and then the protective order that the justice department is asking for, is there a halfway point between like a full crackdown as the justice department might be asking for and no restrictions at all that we can assume is exactly what trump's team is going to say? >> yeah, i think we're going to likely find this somewhere in the middle. what we are waiting to see is when the trump team files their response by 5:00 p.m. today what exactly they still wanted the ability to be able to possibly publicly disseminate that the justice department did not. what kind of information was at issue? the justice department sort of made their remarks in their filings over the weekend, leaving a large amount of sensitive information unprotected. we will have to see what that red lined proposed order from the trump team shows and what they truly wanted to have, quote, unquote, unprotected. >> now the defenses that we're starting to hear john lauro present, let's start with what jessica schneider played. the fact that he says that asking is aspirational. asking is not a directive. what do you make of that? >> yeah, that's ridiculous. that's not how this works. i can't aspirationally go into a bank, say i believe you owe me $20 million please take it out of the reserves and hand it over to me and say, oh, i was not aspirationally asking. no, it's very clear, trump told former vice president pence as vice president pence keeps saying to reject electors and decertify in favor of trump. trump told the georgia secretary of state he needed those votes in order to win georgia. this whole entire argument that this is just first amendment commentary and that it wasn't instructions will fail in court. this is a political talking point which will help him in the short term, but is not going to save him in court. >> okay. what about this one, and this is -- all of this is related. lauro also argued yesterday -- this was on "meet the press" -- that this was a constitutional disagreement, not a crime. let me play this for you, bradley. >> these kinds of constitutional and statutory disagreements don't lead to criminal charges and one thing that mr. pence has never said is that he thought president trump was acting criminally in a technical violation of the constitution is not a violation of criminal law. >> what is lauro trying to do here with this one? >> he's trying to muddy the waters. he's trying to make it sounds like, oh, this was just an abstract debate like you would have at a liberal arts college about the finer points of the constitution. no. again, this is a political talking point. this is not a viable legal defense. the idea that mike pence had to say i believe donald trump was acting criminally is not necessary for jack smith to make his case. seriously, that talking point, it was just a technical violation of the constitution, that's our foundation. that's our bedrock principles. you can't make a technical violation of the constitution in order to overturn an election. >> connected to this, lauro also says that since all of this took place while trump was president, he cannot face charges over any of it. listen to this. >> there's one other issue that's very important. everything that president trump did was while he was in office. as a president. he is now immune from prosecution for acts that he takes in connection with those policies. >> he said policy decisions there. is there strength to that argument? >> so it's a bit of an untested issue, which will be interesting to see in the pretrial motions. there are bases to claim that when a president takes action in his role as the president that there is immunity. that's certainly been the case in civil actions. it's never been tested in a criminal context. part of what jack smith is arguing and what the justice department is arguing is this went beyond the scope of his presidential duties. this was him gauging in separate criminal acts for personal benefit outside the scope of his official responsibilities as president and in fact was in violation of his oath as president to uphold the laws. that will be their argument in court. >> let's see first what happens with this deadline today. as you said, it will be interesting to see what their response will be to the question of the protective order. as we can see right now the many arguments being laid for in donald trump's defense. see how they play out. thank you. >> covered a lot of ground there. that was great. ukrainian officials say they uncovered a plot to assassinate president zelenskyy. a suspect is in custody. two firefighting helicopters collide, killing three people. so what went wrong? then a huge adjustment in the policy regarding blood donations from gay and bisexual men, it is being called one of the most significant changes ever. you got thisis. let's go. gobble gobble. i've e seen bigger legs on a turkey! rude. whwho are you?

>> reporter: it isn't clear how advance this had alleged plot indeed was and the ukrainian security services quite active in the media over the past week claiming drone attacks on russian cargo ships and assault vessels and a bridge to crimea they are suggesting they have intercepted a russian informant, unclear of her nationality but she worked in kharkiv in a military surplus store near the cr crimean peninsula. they suggest she was trying to convey information to the russians about a likely visit from the president to mykolalv. some of the messages exchanged apparently show them suggesting -- interlocutors suggesting can you get a picture and what time are we talking about. the daily threats about ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, a man who at the start refused to leave kyiv saying i don't need a ride, i need ammo allegedly when asked if he wanted an evacuation. this information coming out as we hear a lot from ukrainian security services about their activities in the black sea, another part of really actually the war opening here at a time when nightly we're also seeing exchange of barrages between the ukrainians and the russians. one killed in kherson over the past 24 hours. ukrainians are saying, the russians are saying a ukrainian zone may have gotten to the south of moscow. so this tension ratcheting up slowly as the pace potentially of ukraine's counteroffensive in the south may grow in the days ahead. but no comfort to ukrainian civilians on the receiving end of these russian barrages. an interesting development today with the suggestions of a targeted bit to try to hit the ukrainian president. >> our thanks to nick for that and a reminder of the constant threat that volodymyr zelenskyy is still under. >> of course. throughout this conflict we see how serious it can be and we see the prowess of the security service being able to catch something like this before it progressed ever further. to hear on the home front at least folks that are from the home front here in the united states, one of three americans recently killed while fighting in ukraine has been identified. andrew weber died on july 29th according to statement from his family. he was a west point graduate who left behind a wife and two young girls. kylie atwood is at the state department. what more are we learning about weber and the others who were killed? >> reporter: andrew weber is one of three americans, as you said, who died in recent days in ukraine, two of them dying on july 29th, one dying, unfortunately, on july 31st. andrew weber according to his family is someone who loved traveling the world, he was a west point graduate, served in the u.s. military and he also had two daughters and his wife put out a statement when this news broke over the weekend, saying -- and i want to read that to you -- saying that his incredible compassion, friendship, spanning the globe and high whit did not allow him to turn a blind eye to human suffering. andrew would likely say his greatest adventure was the role of husband and father and we ask that you pray for his beloved wife and young children. now, his family has set up a gofundme to provide support to them during what is a very challenging time for them, and we should also note that there have been a number of americans who have died fighting in ukraine. the state department of course still tells americans not to travel to ukraine right now, not to get on the front lines, but what they do is they link up with these kind of informal networks, they connect to the ukrainians who are fighting and then they offer their services because they feel that the mission is just that important, but the state department is in touch with the families of these three americans who died in recent days, providing them with any assistance, consular assistance that they might need. omar? >> three killed and at least as reported in the last few weeks. kylie atwood, thank you so much for that report. kate? on our radar this hour, three people are dead this morning after two helicopters collided while fighting a fire in southern california. fire officials say one of the helicopters was able to land safely after the collision but the other crashed killing all three people on board, the victims included a pilot, fire chief and fire captain. the husband of a georgia woman who has been missing for more than two weeks has been charged with her murder. she was last seen july 16th driving her children home from her mother's house. after she was reported missing police found blood in her home, her burned out car was found a week later and robertson's body was then discovered on friday and her husband was arrested. the sheriff's department says they're also looking for a second suspect now. and starting today more gay and bisexual men can donate blood. remember for more than 40 years guidance from the fda banned most gay men from donating blood. the new rules taking effect will use a more inclusive risk assessment, one based on behavior rather than sexual orientation to determine who can donate. red cross officials are calling this move one of the most significant changes in blood banking history. john?

what's the man? >> reporter: the central focus on the white house is highlighting the president's legislative accomplishments and tying all of that to the economy and the progress that the white house says is enduring in the economic outlook for the coming months. a big reason for that is because august marks the one-year anniversary of several key legislative accomplishments of the president. the chips and science act, the inflation reduction act as well as the pact act which focuses on veterans' benefits. each of the stops will focus on those pieces of legislation. the president this evening heads to arizona, tomorrow he will hold and event focusing on the chang portion of this, focusing on his efforts at climate conservation and climate resilience, talking about the fact that the inflation reduction act has delivered the largest ever investment in fighting climate change. then on wednesday he heads to the state of new mexico where he will focus on the manufacturing portion of the inflation reduction act, clean energy manufacturing in particular, but i think you can also expect to hear about the chips and science act which invests in semiconductor manufacturing. then of course on thursday the president heads to the state of utah to talk about that pact act which provides veterans benefits to those affected by burn pits and other toxic chemicals. but the through line in all of this is going to be the impact on the economy and the uphill battle that the white house faces as it tries to convince americans that the economy is indeed doing better and that it is because of those various policies that we were just talking about. look at this number, though, on economic approval, the president is under water still despite the slowing inflation, despite the fact that unemployment remains at a 3.5% low. 63% of americans still disapproving of the president's handling of the economy. a majority, a slim majority of americans still believe that the economy is in a downturn. so this is the challenge that the president faces and why you're going to be hearing him talk about those legislative accomplishments, try to tie it to this improving economy. one silver lining that white house officials do see, the michigan consumer sentiment which shows consumer confidence in the economy, that number in july was the highest it has been in two years. so the white house believes that as americans feel more confident about their personal finances, they will feel better about the overall economy and better about the president's handling of that economy. kate? >> a lot of work to do on this. good to see you, jeremy. this morning republican presidential hopeful and florida governor ron desantis is rejecting, kind of, former president trump's 2020 claims, he says, desantis does, of course trump lost the 2020 election. in a new interview ron desantis acknowledged that biden is the winner and he issued a warning of sorts to republicans ahead of the 2024 race. >> if, on the other hand, the election is not about january 20th, 2025, but january 6, 2021, or what document was left by the toilet at mar-a-lago, if it's a referendum on that, we are going to lose. >> with us now "usa today" white house correspondent francesca chambers and cnn's senior political analysis ron brownstein. ron, the answer from desantis notable, because that was the most forceful he has been on this front, but also nuanced and i do wonder if desantis as far as he's concerned if he's not 100% right in the sense that he may be right in the general election if it's about 2020 instead of 2024 a republican candidate is in trouble, but 70% of republican voters say that joe biden didn't legitimately win the election. so is donald trump lost a viable argument for republican primary candidate? >> you're kind of does a lot of work there, correct work there, john. i mean, look, the trajectory of desantis' comments is unmistakeable, losing by now 30 points in the national polling and still a substantial deficit in iowa where he's putting a lot of chips. inevitably and inexorably he's moving toward more criticism of donald trump across multiple fronts, but it is always, at least so far, nuanced and qualified and offset by other comments like him saying that the indictment last week was, of course, politically motivated and not criticizing trump's underlying behavior. i think there's only one direction that this can go, i mean, he has to provide republican voters a stronger, more compelling reason to move past donald trump than he or anyone else has so far. what we saw in 2016 and what we're seeing again in 2024 is that hoping that trump somehow collapses on his own weight, that some external event knocks him from the race and you are there to pick up the pieces with his base if you don't offend them. that simply doesn't work. i think we know where this is going, but he's still hemming and hawing as he gets there. >> francesca, if you listen to that 15-second bite that we played before, he sort of leaned into the documents found in the bathroom part also, and i feel like desantis is such a deliberate speaker that he put that there for a reason. >> he is sharpening his criticism of the former president of the united states and other republicans say that if they can focus this on how not in addition to those cases that donald trump also was influential in republicans losing the midterms in 2022, if they can make the case that he would lose against joe biden, that there might be an opening for them. now, what ron desantis also has to prove, though, is that the country would get behind his vision for the future and he has focused a lot of his campaign on these culture war issues and it's not clear yet whether those are the things that most americans in a general election would want to vote for, either. >> ron brownstein, i saw the eyebrows raise when francesca says he needs voters to get behind his -- desantis does -- his version of the issues. why the sort of rye look from you there? >> i thinkhe right. i mean, you know, desantis has the -- the core problem he has in making the case that he is more electable than trump is that polls right now don't show that. you know, it may be true in the end and there are yellow warning lights on the dashboard for republicans in terms of public reaction to the indictments beyond the republican coalition, of what it would actually mean to have a nominee who was facing multiple criminal trials, but desantis has chosen to run at trump as we talked about before almost entirely from the right, trying to pass him on the 6 inches of shoulder to his right that he is leaving in the republican race and that does raise questions about whether he would be any more successful than trump at bringing back white suburban voters that have mochb away from trump, even in the republican primary itself. this is a fraught decision for desantis because he is not consolidating the more moderate voters, the college educated voters who have always been the most skeptical of trump. he's trying to peel away a significant portion of trump's base. maybe that is the only way to beat him, but if you leave a lot of those moderate voters, even the primary on the table, it's going to be hard to make the math add up. >> jeremy diamond was just explaining president biden's trip out west to talk about the economy and put up the poll numbers in terms of americans' view of bides handling of the economy, 63% negative. how frustrated is the white house by this? unemployment is low, you know, inflation is decreasing here, consumer confidence is going up, yet biden -- their approval numbers are still terrible here. >> and that's why you see him out in the communities talking about these issues. their strategy here is to just repeat it over and over again until americans get the message. and democrats have long said that they wanted to see the president, the vice president out across the country in the communities talking directly to voters, whether it's a campaign event or not and these are official events because that is their strategy right now is for him to be president of the united states, look presidential, and to focus on that, while they have, for instance, the vice president, she has been focusing on some of these more political -- political events that they have her doing, speaking of the culture wars. so that is, again, what you will continue to see the president do for the next several months as republicans are in their primary, as him focusing on being president of the united states and trying to draw a contrast in that way. >> francesca, ron, thank you both very much. omar?
