Why the Special Prosecutor got a Search Warrant for the former president s twitter account. Is ukraines counteroffensive making progress . Why president zelenskyy is under pressure to show progress. All of that and more coming into cnn news central. Right now multiple evacuations are underway, as wildfires fueled by strong winds burning in several locations. This is drone video from high above the town in kihei. Goodness, it looks like a what was lava flow there. This is video from one of the hardesthit area lahaina. The coast guard said it rescued 12 people who jumped into the ocean trying to escape the flames. Officials say thousands are without power. Hospitals are overwhelmed with burn patients. There is positive news. We have more. Because you have highs and low close together relativel y theres dora, not fully responsible, a compact little storm, but because they are together right over the same lat latitude. It just reminds you of southern california. Even on the winward side. So, yes 30 of maui in normally dry conditions. You can see it with some of the pictures, an its not green at all. Dry and windy for the next couple days. The you start to the winds here blowing through, and because we had them so close together, combined they actually caused this to whap. You can kind of see them, theres the winds blowing through, but on this picture here, youre able to see the but some red spots, but heres maui, and heres lahaina. Some people will take a butt up, you watch the sunrise, and then ride with your bicycle all the way back down. Youve been on this road that youre not supposed to take dont take it, especially if it rains, but thats running through where the fires are, the other hot spots that concern me as well. That lahaina and the banyan tree, oh. Is the ground drier than usually . We cant blame it on the drought. The drought has been there, kind of went away a bit, but now its coming back. So you had a chance for some fuels to grow. This is not the problem with the human cause if you get it out right away, but these were completely Out Of Control with the winds at 70, 80 miles an hour. If youre forced to jump into the ocean to escape flames, thats desperation. Chad myers, thank you so much. Brianna . We, of course, are awaiting expected indictments out of georgia having to do with the 2020 election anders efforts to stop joe bidens win there. Shes expected to seek more than a dozen indictments, so this is one of differences we can see we know wills has been looking more broadly beyond just trump, what was the enterprise trying to overturn the relates. Shes look at the voting systems breach, and theres all sorts of difficult facets that are bracing to the fact they could face charges. There are six, so far, unindicted coconspirators. Here were talking about 12 plus . If she moves ahead, as we expect her to, you will see the names youll see her lay out this narrative. We are there people that could still be in the case . The short answer is because there was a lot of crazy and specific stuff happening in georgia. People were showing up at the home he election workers. And sort of in their view could fit into this broader conspiracy. So we may see names that you would not expect to see in other cases. More than a destine indictments expect ed we are looking at next week. One grand jury meets monday and tuesday, another thursday and friday. We know she subpoenaed wrchss, sake essentially ill give you 48 hours to show up and testify before this grand jury, so we should get a sense over the weekend if the witnesses are being summoned. If thats not the case we could be looking later in the week. Sara murray, thank you so much. Jim . We are learning new details about a secret Search Warrant and secret memo. Heres what we know. A Special Counsel today we are learning about a memo after the Election Loss in 2020. It laid out in detailed plans to overturn joe bidens victory. This is the missing piece that they laid out. A lot of people when they think of a memo, they think of john eastman. About how the then Vice President could help block the results of the election, but here this memo helps us understand how they wanted to install slates of fake elector, if not else, to leave them more time to litigate. It helps you understand exactly how they were plotting this out and how it started shortly after election day. Remarkable given they were turning arm votes they didnt like, creates a fake controversy, in effect. Trumps twitter account, he got a warrant for his twitter account. Why exactly, and what would it cover . The fact that they were seeking this warrant is significant, but it was such a sensitive pursue they wanted to keep it secret. Twitter argued that would be a violation of the first andment and the occurrence laws that governs Electronic Community indications. Eventually the Special Counsel agreed to lou the former president know about the warrant, but they wanted to protect theedties of the investigators working on this pursuit. Interestingly twitter was allegedly slow to provide investigator with what they were seeking to obtain. They were hilt with a 150,000 fine, but either notable, and something we would expect the former president would mention in the coming days. Thank you very much. The u. S. Says its keeping a close eye on ukraines counteroffensive and the challenges they face on the battlefield. Later, a cnn exclusive investigation, a former Coast Guard Leader accused of covering up sexual assaults. The day you get your clearchoice dental implants makes every day. A lets dig in day. Mm.

A step forward in the gilgo beach murders investigation. A judge just ruled to get a dna sample from the man suspected in the killings. Officials say this next step is extremely important to the prosecutors case. Jean casarez has been following this case. Reporter this is significant. We just got the ruling. It came down minutes ago. What the judge is ordering, a lowing the prosecution to take a buccal swap from Rex Heuermann. The standard here is probable cause. Under new york law, even after somebody is arrested, you cant get the buccal swab, you have to go to the judge, but the standard is probable cause. The judge goes through several pages about the five hairs found on the victim, four of them determined to be female, one to be of caucasian european descent. The one hair, he says, went to two outside laboratories, through mitochondrial testing, and then took the half eaten pizza to find the dna, and they put the two together. The results was that Rex Heuermann could not by excluded as a contributor to both dnas from under the bur haism of Megan Waterman and found under waterman. Remember, dna can also exonerate someone, even though the defense was fighting this, it can exonerate someone. The june is allowing that. That should be done probably sooner than later. A significant step. Thank you, jean. Another Missile Strike on zaporizhzhia, at least three people were reported killed in this attack, and a church as well as Retail Stores were among the buildings destroyed here. We have nick paton walsh, who is live for us in zaporizhzhia. What is the latest there, nick . We ahead the blast over an hour ago. It seems to have struck a church and a growing number of injured. This is a rare strike, because its possibly so close to the front lines, a one of a numbers of blasts that we have seeing across the country today. Its perhaps as suggested despite the sheer force of the blast there. As this Counter Offensive continues to push, we see them off obviously anxious to hear the sirens three or four times so far this afternoon, brianna. What can you tell you about the Counter Offensive that the Ukrainian Forces are experiencing. I think It Deposition on your expectations. Certainly many have look at the western nair activity, as their advances in kharkiv were, where then they pulled bag on the floor november. This fight was always going to be a lots harder. Theyre being tell graphed, so they could fight it faster, but ukrainians are finding mine fields ahead of them, we were just at the front line yesterday with troops fighting there, trying to push forward. They acknowledge that the russians are well trained, but theres a broader thing here and thats air superiority. They would not the russians control the skies here, and that mean jet strikes, ukrainian losses, and that can mess with the Counter Offensive. Kernel can. We hear those sirens going off behind you. Thank you so much for that record. Jim . I think theres a problem with Unrealistic Expectations. Lets remember the Allied Forces lances in and again into berlin, days or week. The challenges are at least as great as the ratio. The fifth larger army in the world. When the i was in kyiv last year meeting with president zelenskyy, they have always exceeded expectations. We cant let those Unrealistic Expectations help the apiecer who would have have do ukrainine need more help to do so . First of all, we need to pass the supplemental. Were hearing the next one they need a lot more ammunition and a lot move weaponry. As addressed just now, they need help in the area. Were seeing a familiar pattern. We saw that from this when this was just a battle of Funding Insurgency there are already fears of exactly that. Do you see increasing pressure on ukraine in effect sue for peace . And do you see Division Within the alliance . I dont see that yet, but its a real threat. Im concerned here at home. One of the things that concerns me most right here right now is our ability to govern. When we go back to a session in congress in september, were supposed to fund the government the maybe wee do a continuing reso resolution, theres a possibility well shut down. Lost in that will be a struggle to try to pass the supplemental. So theres a lot of at stake here, and there will be people will see this as a difficult task and say one more reason not to help them. Its the view that pewing is planning to wait out until the 2024 election where he hopes to get a friendlier white house. Would that be a benefit for russia . Absolutely. President trump was an apologist for president putin. He always liked like putin had something on him, and hes saying he would end it in a day. The only way to do that is to get the best deal you can. Certainly what russia would do at that point in time is regroup, rearm and prepare for the next a sail. Eastern europe would be at risk as well. So a massive difference. Obviously putin is worried about the Cannon Fodder he uses for troops. Tactically strategically its sadly a smart move for him to see if he did wait and have a friendly president who would in reality by on his side. Congressman mike quigley, thank you for joining us this afternoon. Thank you. Next, a cnn investigation into an alleged coast guard coverup of sexual assault. Stay with us. This is cnn news central.

Really explosive new details involving a secret investigation at the u. S. Coast guard academy. Pamela brown has more on the investigation. What did you find here, pam . We spoke exclusively with the admiral, who left before the operation was completed. He said he briefed his successor about it is importance of the investigation, and he said he expected it to be made public, when the investigation wrapped up, it was a disturbing findings of sexual abuse was buried. When the head of the coast guard was nearing retirement in 2018, he prepared the admiral for taking his place. I sat down with my successor, here are the things budgetarily, but this was a big one. Reporter it was a massive scandal only starting to be understood. The explosive situation. We have this investigation going on, there was no uses whatsoever. He told cnn that there was no question the results of the investigation he blaunched would eventually be made public. My intent would be the public face of this event as the Senior Leader of the coast guard. I regret we were not able to complete it during my watch. He successor did not release the results as expected. Schultz would not speak to cnn. The record dubbed found dozens of cases from the late 80s. That leaders ignored, it was kept hidden, but keeping it secret, they avoided the scrutiny. It was completely toxic and devastating to my sense of self. Reporter cnn has talked to more than two dozen Men And Women who say they were sexually assaulted. You have to wonder if they had released this report, if they had done more to crack down, how your experience would have been different. I often firn myself wondering what my future would have been like. Time and time again, the academy and the institution dont protect their people. At a bare minimum, we owe it to these victims to provide some sense of emotional closure. Reporter exactly why shultz didnt release the report is still a question. There were plans for a capitol Hill Briefing on Operation Fouled Anchor in late 2018, bud that apparently never happened. For an investigation of this magnitude, this rises to the top of the organization. This certainty a midlevel staff decision. Members of Congress Even asked shultz in a remote hearing in 2021, but he still failed to mention the investigation. We want to bring accountability to all matters. We want to prevent sexual asails. Reporter according to sources, he as his team kept the report from the homeland security. I again apologize to each survive and their loved once. Reporter shultzs successor testified and announced she was launching an investigation. We failed the committee when we did not disclose in 2020, when the cnn investigation began asking questions, thats when i first became aware of the totality of fouled anchor. Reporter a led set that failure to disclose complicated with legal requirements to shared with congress. This is probably the most shameful coverup i have seen in the military ever. Reporter it showed the coast guards reputation took precedent, and sources tell cnn thats exactly what happened again when the report was hidden. If you read through the investigation, there were conscious decisions made, trying to protect the image of the coast guard, you know, loyalty to an institution, and not doing whats honorable to a victim of sexual assault. Reporter coast guard officials did not comment on shultzs involvement, but they were to maybe clear that the current commandant was not briefed on the situation as her predecessor was. Thats mindboggling. Such a tremendous report, and thank you for your continued reporting. It is not over. The Breaking News weve been following, our top story. Wildfires in hawaii have devastated parts of maui and the big island. Official unsure of the number of casualties. Joining us now it claire kent, she lives in lahaina and lucky to escape with her life. Can you hear me . And are you safe . I can hear you, and im safe. Is. Were just here waiting to hear from loved ones. Yesterday, from what i understand, the flames suddenly came through, and you lost everything, your house, your business. Tell us how it happened. It happened so fast, ive never been in any environment where i cant be around a fire like that. We were off work because of the hurricane winds. We were already off work. I work for one of the boats in the harbor. So we canceled our trips. We were at home having a hawaiian snow day, is what we call it. I heard the first explosions at the gas stations exploding, and then i saw the black smoke a couple streets away, and within half an hour, we were out the door i was at a friends house, i didnt even have anything with me. We grabbed a few of their things, but as soon as we were out the door, it was like, hole cow, we didnt realize we were even going to get back. Within an hour, the flames had moved all the way down the end of the neighborhood. We were pulling out, looked down, and we looked back, and theres cars with flames on both sides of the road, like people stuck in traffic trying to get out, and theres flames on both sides of the road, like something out of a horror movie. You must have been so scared. Were you getting warnings about when to leave . Where to leave . How to get out . Thats one of the things we kept we couldnt believe it was happening. Earlier that morning we lost power and service, so all of the west side of mawer maui, all of those areas had no Service Since 4 00 a. M. Yesterday, or very spotty service. I didnt see anything or hearing anything online. I was feeling the wind shifting. I was like, should we turn on the radio . I didnt get a text message. It was all just word of mouth, people running down the street like you need to get out. Guys were on bicycling screaming at people to leave. Good lord. As you were leaving, was everybody able to get out . I imagine theres folks that were elderly there. I know for a fact people didnt get out. When we were pulling away, there were quite a few Homeless People in the area, people who were just not able you do have access to vehicles, and as were leaving, there are people who are just sitting we were in a house right behind this the wh wharf, with the shoop centers, restaurants and bars, stuff like that, and people were sitting underneath to try to get out of the wind and within a half hour, that whole area was on fire. People didnt get out. People were one of my captains, who works i work on the boats, he told me that they were sending boats to help people out of the water, because they had just run down and started swimming to get away from the fire people are still stuck. Was that water rescue organized . I know i saw coast guard bo boats, but it wasnt organized. Companies and captains just were, like, go, go get them, go pluck people out of the water. At one point when we finally got out of lahaina, we got over to the other side, i was standing at a gas station, the First Business i saw with lights on all day, and there was a group of people sitting outside. My friend got out of the care, and he was covered head to toe in ash. His eyes were black, his mouth was black, and he had gone back and was helping getting people out. He had a car full of people, and the look on his face, there was terror. It was insane. Understandable. Now, youre in a safe place now. How are you able to find out i understand you said your home was burned to the ground to find out what you left behind. They call it coconut wireless. Its all by word of mouth. Theres facebookers right now. The Biggest Issue is the west side has no cell service, so anything happening in the west side, were not hearing about until people get out. And then its like the last person out has the most information. I just got a text message from my friend who evacuated north, and hes now he just told me theyre able to drive the back road all the way around the back, so theyre out and on their way. Most of the people i know are coming this way, and thats all we know. I know the house is gone. I heard that all of the boats in the harbor burned, all businesses on front street burned, like everything is gone. Whats so sad is our jobs its the history of lahaina, that its so devastating, like, the banyan tree is gone. The pioneer head is gone. Those are important historical places, and theyre gone. So much history there. So much history. I wonder if there was any advance warning of this. Of course, the hurricane whose winds are fueling these fires, theyve been hovering off the coast for some time. Were you given any warning in the hours or the days in advantage of this . So, yes and no. Being that i worked on the boat, we look at the weather, we look at whats coming ahead and when theres strong winds, we obviously Pay Attention to that. I dont think anybody was prepared for how strong the wind actually got. I was hanging out with people. It was the most i came here from florida and ive been in hurricanes before, this was on the morse experience ive ever had with winds, Hurricane Welt like that. There wasnt a single cloud in the sky, and it was a beautiful day. People were walking on the in the morning to look at the swells. They are going to go surfing. Then the wind just really picked up, and it was like 30, 40 knots, and then upwards the 60knot gusts, and just ripped through, and well see a tree just fall. Things are just flying through the sky. At some point, it was like, this is pretty bad. And i remember Walking Around lahaina just right there on front street to check in on my friends at a coffee shop. I was just looking around, like, gosh, this is such a mess, it will take so long to clean up. How will people get to work, and within an hour later, i was evacuating, because the street i was on was on fear. It happened so fast. As far as preparing for it . We had a wet winter. There was a lot of growth. Gr green. Theres a lot thats combustible and flammable. We know that, you know, its like we know fires can happen, but its usually just one or two homes are on fire. No one even could comprehend this could happen. No one was repared for this. I didnt have groceries or anything, anything ready. I didnt do any hurricane prep, you know . Ill tell you, some of the images look to my almost like a volcanic eruption with the lava flowing through. Claire kent, we are glad you are safe stay safe. I understand you have a gofundme page.
