investigation. for me this is a story that is important for republicans to hear, americans to hear. let's hear the whole truth and nothing but the truth about donald trump's actions ask the surrounding cast of characters around him. ? cnn's marshal cohen is joining me in the studio with more details on this. we've all had our eye. you've definitely had your eye very trained on georgia, fulton county. what's going on down there? does this mean things are about to start happening? >> yes. finally. after three years of investigations, 70 witnesses to the grand jury, a grand jury report, lawsuits, security feting beefed up, so much speculation. it's happening. according to, as you just played, lieutenant governor, former lieutenant governor jeff duncan. really making clear that this is sort of the opening shot of the very final stage of this investigation. these witnesses are being told that it's time to come in and get ready to testify. so as we've previously reported, the prosecutors down there led by district attorney fani willis, an elected democrat, they are expected to give a probably two-day presentation. this grand jury meets mondays and tuesdays. so if witnesses are coming in tuesday, that means activity could begin as soon as monday. >> we also know that in addition to jeff duncan that a second person has also been asked to testify. tell us about that. >> that's right. this is george cheaty, an indepeenjournalist based in atlanta. he had subpoenaed to the special -- he had testified to the special grand jury last year. we had previously reported that he got a subpoena for this charging grand jury that has charging powers and he has also confirmed he was asked to come in on wednesday. two-day presentation, monday, tuesday, i did just say wednesday, but i meant tuesday. trump allies across the state of georgia and beyond, people like rudy giuliani received a target letter in this investigation, thinking about things like expertise, racketeering, rico, this is stuff that fani willis has experience with and she has signaled she is ready to go. >> so much nor more to come on this. marshal cohen thanks so much for breaking it down. for legal analysis, palm beach florida state attorney dave aronberg is joining us now. lovely to see you. thanks for making time. just if first, what do you make this announcement from jeff duncan? >> it's a big deal because jeff duncan would be the cleanup hitter for fani willis. he's long been a critic of trump's attempts to overturn the election. he's long been a critic of giuliani's lies to legislative committees, so he is going to be a truth teller before that grand jury and perhaps the final witness before an indictment, and not just any indictment. it looks like an indictment for racketeering, which carries with it a five-year mandatory minimum sentence in georgia. >> marshal was just laying out this grand jury meats on mondays and tuesdays. walk us through what's next this this process. we know these witnesses will go in, and they will talk to the grand jury. walk us through how that will play out. >> well, it's often said, jessica, that you can indict a ham sandwich before a grand jury, and that's because in a fw grand jury it's just the prosecution and the witnesses. there is no defense counsel there and the prosecution presents the case, and the dgrad jurors are asked to vote. all you need is the majority of the grand jurors to vote based on probable cause, and then you've got an indictment. it's a relatively low standard to reach. now, getting a conviction is much tougher. you've got to prove cases beyond a reasonable doubt. this has been going on, though, since january. remember, fani willis said that indictments would be imminent back then. here we are in august. i think the reason for the delay is that a lot of the witnesses have flipped. people who would have otherwise been charged in the fake elector scheme have flipped and are assisting fani willis's investigation. you can see why the former president is really nervous right now. >> and we know that the fulton county d.a., fani willis who you just mentioned is considering as many as 12 indictments. she's reportedly considering conspiracy and racketeering charges. that would allow her to bring a case against multiple defendants. do you think using so-called rico charges is the right strategy in this case? >> rico is not just for the mafia anymore. it's been used broadly for many years now. in fact, fanny i willis's experience in bringing rico cases, just last week she brought one against a street gang in georgia. she's previously brought one against teachers for a cheating scandal. so you can bring a rico case. you have to show that it's a criminal enterprise, engage in a pattern of racketeering activity. what is a pattern? you need two or more qualified offenses. not every offense qualifies under rico. if you try to influence witnesses, that's a qualifying offense. if you have computer trespass, which apparently happened here with sidney powell, that's a qualifying offense. now, the key is thao tie that t donald trump. you have to show that donald trump personally was involved in this scheme, and if they can show that, it's game on. >> okay, so to that point, i want to play a clip because a lot of this case centers on a phone call that trump made to georgia election officials. so let's listen to that, and then we'll come back.>> so look this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. because we won the state. >> okay. and we know at a campaign event earlier this week, he called that a perfect phone call, but dave, you've just laid out what they're trying to do in proving this, and it seems like that is some pretty solid evidence with that phone call. >> it is, jessica. you know, you're not going to see donald trump take the stand in this case, if and when he is indicted. i do not think he will go under oath and take the stand in what could be a perjury trap. so the next best thing for jurors is to hear donald trump's own voice on a recording, and that's what separates this case from all the others, and that's why i think this is the second strongest case against donald trump. of the four criminal cases, i think the strongest is the documents case at mar-a-lago. they got dead right on that one. but here you've got donald trump on tape and that's the difference, and that's whey i think -- why i think they've got a really strong case, not just for rico but other charges like trying to improperly influence an election official. there's going to be a number of charges not just against the former president but his cohorts as well. >> that will also be different here, right? there could be the other allies that could be kind of sucked into this as well? >> i think the ally that has the most to worry about here is rudy giuliani. rudy giuliani lied to legislative committees. now, when rudy giuliani went before the public, he can say whatever he wants. he has a first amendment right t to do so, but when you lie before a legislative body in georgia, it a's's a crime, so i expect he will be indicted as well. and then there's the others like sidney powell who were part of this scheme. if you're going to charge rico, it's an enterprise. a one-man rico doesn't exist. you need others. that's why you can expect others will be charged alongside donald trump. those who have not yet flipped already. >> okay. so we know this grand jury will meet monday and tuesday and then is it possible to know then kind of what a time line looks like after that? or is it really up to the d.a. >> i expect that an announcement will come as early as tuesday. jeff duncan is testifying tuesday. if those are the only days the grand jury will be meeting next week, then all signs point to an indictment tuesday evening it will be announced. what will happen is they'll come out and then it will be unsealed and trump and his team and others will be notified and the public will know. probably by donald trump himself. he has a habit of letting people know when these things happen to him so you can expect that it's going to get really interesting next week, that's going to be the fourth of four cases against donald trump. as i said, i think the second most powerful one against him. >> it really is an unprecedented time seeing as he is the front runner for the gop nomination as it stands, just a few months before americans start voting in that primary race. it is quite a moment in american history. dave aronberg, thank you so much for your analysis, for helping us understand that better. we appreciate it. >> thank you. still to come, much more analysis on the ramp up to a possibly fourth indictment of donald trump, this one in f georgia. former adviser to four presidents david gergen will talk to us about it. and we're going to take you live to hawaii as firefighters still continue to battle the wildfires. and later, the incredible comeback of damar hamlin continues, as he plays in the buffalo bills first preseason game just seven months after suffering a cardiac arrest on the field. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." plus, switch, keep your number, and d get up to $300 off. with verizon business. it's your business. it's your verizon. ♪ with wet amd, somemes i worry my world is getting smaller because of my sight. but now, i can open up my world with vabysmo. vabysmo is the first fda-approved treatment for people with wet amd that improves vision and delivers a chance for up to 4 months between treatments. which means doing more of what i love. ♪ vabysmo is the only treatment designed to block 2 causes of wet amd. vabysmo is an eye injection. don't take it if you have an infection or active swelling in or around your eye, or are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. treatments like vabysmo can cause eye infection or retinal detachment. vabysmo may cause a temporary increase in eye pressure after receiving the injection. although uncommon, there is a potential risk of heart attack or stroke associated with blood clots. open up your world! a chance for up to 4 months between treatments with vabysmo. ask your doctor. what's the subway series?

>>. >> we're in one of the strangest moments in american political history. we haven't seen anything like this in at least 100 years. there is some precedent, jessica. there was a fellow named carly in boston, his first time out, people loved him. he was the mayor of the poor, and he went to jail, and the election was held while curly was in jail, and guess what, curly won by 20 points. so it's not impossible, and we may see it more than once. eugene debs was another person that was a candidate, an activist in the 1920s. he went to jail, but he was still very, very popular. so we have to say there are occasionally moments, but this one is, i think, particularly challenged because it is so dangerous, so dangerous to our democracy, and so dangerous to our place in the world. if we're seen as slipping as we are, all the nations are going to try to take advantage of us in all sorts of ways we can't even imagine at this point. there's a lot more on the line than we've seen in most scandals in the past. we've also, you know, we're coming into a period, swjessicas one headline said the day hunter has become the hunted, and that is going to be hunter biden is now in the thick of all of this and inevitably television cameras are going to swerve that way as well as towards the courtrooms. >> no question about it. it's just kind of this swirl, this storm that we're all keen -- kind of heading into at this moment. if we go back to the former president, i was just talking with our political director, david chalian who you know as well who's in iowa at the state fair. >> he's the best. >> he's the best, and he was talking about the big crowds that trump is getting today as he's there at the iowa state fair. we know that he remains far and away the front runner for the republican nomination, meaning that this 2024 election could feature a twice impeached former president who's facing four criminal indictments, and also a current president who himself let us not forget is under a special counsel investigation over his handling of the classified documents. and then you mentioned his son, hunter biden, it is truly remarkable how all of this is spinning around. but when we go to trump and we talk about -- we talk to voters in iowa, they don't mention any of this. they'll talk about how they feel about him. do you think this is getting through to voters? how are they metabolizing all of this? >> well, i think it's very, very unlikely that the landscape we're in today is going to be the landscape in october, november, of the election year. something's going to happen. somebody's going to get hurt in some fashionfashion, somebody - know, trump might go to jail for a lot of charges for a lot of years. there are all sorts of things that could change things some. it makes it very, very unpredictable. but at the moment, i do continue to believe that we're more threatened by us than we are by our enemies right now. we're more threatened by the way we're allowing our democracy to erode and people aren't standing up enough. there's a lot of cowardice in politics right now. >> and really just such a pushback from the american people. they're just losing their faith in institutions it seems like in a lot of ways. >> yes. >> which so foundational, right, to democracy. i to do want to ask you, if you were advising any one of the republican candidates running against trump at this point, how would you approach this issue? because i've been following them. they really are trying to kind of delicately go afternround it. mike pence has been very direct about that third indictment. but otherwise, you know, they're not really going right at donald trump. >> yeah, that's very, very true. they're not going after donald trump at this point because they're scared. that's what i mean by the cowardice because they're scared. the polls, you know, cnn post add really interesting piece asking and comparing desantis on the -- on the right to tim scott of south carolina, and they're running against each other in the republican primary, and the question cnn was phrasing was what do republican voters, maga voters want? do they want a brawler, someone who's going to get in a fight and go for the knockout or do they want a unifier? scott is truly the unifier, trump is the brawler. so far despite the polls that say people want a unifier more than they've gotten, so far, though, the brawler is carrying forth. just this last week, you know, where scott was calling for compassion in various issues, on the same issues desantis was saying about the immigration of illegal immigrants that if they try to do it when he gets into the presidency, they will be stone cold dead. he said they're going to be stone cold dead and he has vowed to take people out by violence. you know, i know some of that's just rhetorical play, but if you say that often enough, what you do is you encourage a lot of crazies that pick up their guns and look for another victim. >> and before i let you go, i do want to ask you your thoughts if you were advising president biden and his cam pane team. they do have their own set of issues that they're going to have to face including what's going on with the special counsel and hunter biden, and then of course his -- the president's classified documents case. what would you tell them? >> i think at the moment, he's handled it very, very well, but the time is going to come when he has to be a lot more forthcoming. you know, he's trying to protect his son. he's standing up for his son. evening those are admirable efforts on his part. you know, but he can't simply walk away from this. he's got to face up to it. he's got to tell the truth about it, ask thatnd that's going to hard for him to do. i think it's one of the wild cards in this race that if something happened to hunter or if he's jailed in any fashion, you know, there's the outside possibility that joe biden is not going to be able to handle it, his surviving son, very important relationship. >> they are very, very close, and understandably sensitive around that and very interesting to hear you say that could be the real wild card there. thanks so much for joining us. it's always great to see you. >> thanks so much, jessica. take care. still ahead tonight, death and destruction in hawaii with firefighters still battling the wildfires there, and so many people still missing. we're going to take you to maui. that's next. i know we have them. oh my god, here it is. when i f found that immigration record on ancestry®, it was amazingng. everything was there. the u.s. was in dire need of nurses s during world war i. tía amalia as a nurse in el salvador decided to answer that call. it's a lot of excitement finding something new. i feel like a time traveler. claudia starts calling me. it's a party every time. ♪ my cpa told me i wouldn't qualify for the erc tax refund, so i called innovation refunds. their team of independent tax attorneys will work with your cpa to determine if hip sound] take the first step to see if your small business qualies.

>> none of us has moved. my co-worker is up there three trucks. they've been here the whole time. >> it's either laughter or tears. when i talk to all the people in our business that have been affected, about 14 people that lost their houses and so we're just trying to do the most good we can. it's really frustrating when you can't. >> so in terms of the wider picture, there are new figures that are out from fema estimating that it's going to cost $5.52 billion to rebuild lahaina, 2,207 structures either damaged or destroyed. 4,500 people, that is the estimate for the number of people who need to be sheltered in both the near and the long-term. but this, what we are seeing here, is the first chapter to both rebuilding, seeing what survived, and seeing what is left of a place that was so integral to the heart and soul of maui. jessica. >> mike, thanks so much. and joining us now is sherry mcnamara, the president and ceo of the hawaii chamber of commerce. thanks so much for being with us. first, we all just want to say how sorry we are. words feel very empty and insufficient. we have seen the devastation, and i know you and your friends and relatives are hurting, and it's a really hard time. i know that the relief funds have been unlocked since president biden declared a major disaster there. i'm curious if you think that's going to be enough or what comes next? >> thank you so much for having me here. we just wanted to thank everyone around the world for their thoughts and prayers and for their support. hawaii is a special place, and i'm sure we all have a story of memories about hawaii, so all that outpouring of support means so much to us. i just want to thank you for that. we're right now in the stage of emergency relief. what we learned from the pandemic is the next phase will be the economic recovery and rebuilding stages, and so that's why for the team of commerce, we are here to help in that phase. start setting up the groundwork so that when we do enter that phase, businesses and their employees will have the resources necessary to recover and rebuild. >> yeah, and i have to be honest with you, we're looking at video while you're talking right now, and it is just absolutely wiped out there. you start to think, okay, if you're a small business or a business, and you're going to rebuild after this, it seems so overwhelming. how are you counseling people to -- like where to do they eve begin? >> yeah, it is joverwhelming. that location, lahaina is a visitor hub, and many at the local business there and their employees rely on this business, and many of them have just started recovering and getting out of that deep, deep hole that the pandemic caused, and so for this to happen and for a business just to be obliterated is just -- is just incredible, indesc indescribable, and that's why it's even more critical that while we have funds from the federal government, that the private sector also stepped up and helped with these efforts because we can't even start keeping track or counting how much of economic loss is, but we will eventually, and so we want to be prepared for that. >> sure. and we know that it's been estimated just now at this point that rebuilding is going to cost in the neighborhood of $5.5 billion, which is a very significant sum of money. you mentioned the private sector stepping up in addition to what's coming from the government. what does that look like for you? how do you see that partnership moving through the next weeks and months and probably even years to come? >> that's one of the reasons why we launched the business relief fund is to ensure that we can build that fund so when businesses are able to assess the damage that was done that we will have the resources available to provide to them so that they can get the ground running again and start to rebuild their business. ag again, we are at the emergency relief stage, so businesses had not been able to enter the area to assess the damage and what the kneaneeds are. that will come, and we know it will be significant and the $5.5 billion, that's just capital loss. we're looking at economic loss and the lives and livelihoods of so many that were impacted by this disaster. so that is why it's critical that we build up this fund so that we are ready to deploy those funds when that taime comes. >> right, it is so soon. the fires are still being put out in some parts of the island. i also want to ask you about what one of the congresswomen there in hawaii said. she said that they, quote, underestimated the lethality and quickness of the fire. do you agree there could have been a stronger response or warning system that was in place? i know that a lot of the cell phones weren't working. that's how a lot of people were supposed to be warned, and they couldn't even get the messages. >> we could always do better, right now they are assessing and investigating what happened and why the sirens did not go off. until we know what happened, we can't respond to that or we can respond and learn from those what happened. and so you know, could we have done better? i believe so. but let's start looking forward as to how we can restore the livelihoods of so many that were impacted, and really, in order to build and recover our communities, we need to recover commerce as well. >> yeah, so much need there, thanks for walking us through all of that. we certainly wish you all the best. >> thank you so much. thank you. >> and for more information about how you can help the hawaii wildfire victims, you can go to cnn.com/impact. you can also text the word hawaii to 707070 to donate. we'll be right back. ♪ before planning the wedding your bad hip was really acting up. then, you heard about mako robotic-assisted hip replacement. it starts with a ct scan to pinpoint the problem. that becomes a personalized, 3d plan to guide your doctor during surgery. mako can help lead to better outcomes, like less pain and shorter recovery times. the lifetime of a hip implant is limited, and revision surgery may be required. individual results and recovery times vary. risks of surgery include pain, infection, heart attack, stroke, death, and other serious risks. ask your doctor for important safety information. to find a doctor who uses mako visit makocan.com i was born on the south side of chicago. it has been a long road, but now i'm working for schwab. i love to help people understand the world through their lens and invest accordingly. you can call us christmas eve at four o'clock in the morning. we're gonna always make sure that you have all of the financial tools and support to secure your financial future. that means a lot for my community and for every community. ♪ we are continuing to follow the strongest indications yet that former president trump could be indicted for a fourth time, this time in georgia, as early as next week. former georgia lieutenant governor jeff duncan who's also a cnn contributor says he's been instructed to testify tuesday before a grand jury. it's part of fulton county district attorney fani willis's investigation into the former president. we know she's moving forward with a grand jury presentation where she's expected to seek charges against more than a dozen people, stemming from the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. we're continuing to follow this. we'll of course bring you the very latest on this fast-moving story as we get it. maeantime, russian authorities report another ukrainian missile was shot koun over the black sea. earlier today two other missiles were taken down in the same area near the bridge connecting annexed crimea to the russian mainland. the black sea has become a flash point in this war with attacks from both sides disrupting shipping. earli earlier this month, ukrainian sea drones damaged a russian warship. a russian oil tanker was also hit. retired major general, james spider marks is joining us now. great to see you. we know that that bridge is not only strategic, it also holds a symbolic value to russia's vladimir putin. why is that? >> well, i think really two thing. number one, a very practical reason it's held in such high regard is that it provides the only linkage prior to the war, the only linkage from the russian mainland to crimea. that's significant. i would say the second thing is they look at this as a piece of russian technology and engineering that is quite comfortable. i think there's another piece to it as well is that militarily, if russia's going to be successful in terms of their desire to hold crimea, they have to be able to have multiple accesses into crimea, if they lose the bridge they've nogot a single route in, that's the land bridge. that becomes very vulnerable based on the military operations the ukrainians are operating right now. i think that's why they hold this as a key piece of terrain that needs to be maintain. >> there's also new reporting by britain's conflict armament research group that russia has started producing its own version of drones. what do you think that says about russia's ability to sustain its current attack patterns? >> russia is into this fight, and it has been given so far zero -- putin has been given zero incentive to find an off ramp. in other words, he's going to continue to do what he has been doing for the past year and a half. ukraine has been doing magnificently at the tactical level, and they've done some tremendous fighting against the russians, but they've not been able to isolate, penetrate, force the russians off ukrainian soil. we're seeing the beginning of that right now we hope. so the creation of drones and the use of drones certainly is not new. this is just an acknowledgment that this type of technology, this type of enabler is one that they will continue to use, and it's a wise decision on their part, certainly on the part of ukrainians. this is the face of warfare. this is unmanned, autonomous in many cases. so there's low risk. there could be high reward. >> this seems like very much where we are in this kind of warfare, in this particular war as well. and this week ukrainian officials called the northern front in the eastern renal, the epicenter of the hostilities. we know that kharkiv's military officials are considering a mandatory evacuation of children from more settlements. what type of offensive is russia undertaking on that region? >> you know, jessica, this is the key question. when you look at the map, you see where kharkiv is. it really is the at the northern flank of the donbas region where russia has been putting all of its efforts, and that's where ukraine has been resisting magnificently. if kharkiv is lost, then what happens to the ukrainian forces is they run the risk of being encircled, potentially flanked, and then further isolated. that's the last thing you want to be in combat. you don't want to be isolated. you have to have access. you've got to have logistic supply coming in as well. you've got to be able to get out if necessary. if kharkiv were to fall, then there would be a straight shot south from kharkiv that would isolate and put at risk those ukrainian soldiers. that's why that is key to this fight right now. >> you're really underscoring just how important it is for the ukrainians to continue to fight and to receive a lot of the aid also that they've gotten from the u.s. and ostthers. president biden asked for an additional $24 billion plus really for ukraine, but we have seen some softening, signs of softening financial support from americans on this issue. we had some polling last week from cnn that showed a majority of americans oppose more u.s. aid for ukraine. a cnn poll last week found 55% of americans believe congress should not authorize additional funding, compared to 45% who said congress should authorize such funding. and just to remind people, a poll that was conducted in the early days of the russian invasion back in february of 2022 found 62% believe the u.s. should have been doing more. so general, what do you think is mappi happening here? is it just time, is it out of sight, out of mind? what is the case to be made to the american people that more money to ukraine is in america's best interests and obviously ukraine's best interests? >> yeah, that's -- that's the strategic -- i would say even that's the policy issue. the key thing here is that what america has done to support the ukrainians with the support of nato is quite comfortable, and everybody's kind of wearing it down in terms of what is the desired outcome. what is the strategic outcome. and as we've seen, president zelenskyy has established a very high bar. he has said russians off ukrainian soil. yet, what is happening in terms of support does not provide that full desired objective. it's not going to get there from here, and we're seeing that play out right now. that doesn't mean they're not fighting hard and ukrainians are an incredible people, and they're led by a churchillian type leader. the challenge is, is there an anticipated outcome where the russians are going to be forced out of ukraine entirely? i think what you're seeing is probably i can't speak to the narrative of the polls, but i think what we're seeing is america's tiring of this, and they're saying, look, we don't know that this is really going to happen. i don't know that ukraine is going to be able to -- russia on ukrainian soil. we don't know that that's going to happen. can president zelenskyy sign up for a negotiated settlement that would acknowledge, look, russia has successfully taken over a part of ukraine, it's criminal, it's illegal, it's brutal. it's horrible, i got it. but we're not going to be able to force them off unless we staten island to put american boots and nato on the ground to confront russia directly. that's been a decision that's been crystal clear, we're not requ going to do that. >> thank you so much for your analysis, we appreciate it. >> thank you, jessica. up next, just months after suffering cardiac arrest in the middle of an nfl game, damar hamlin is back playing in the buffalo bills first preseason game. we'll have details next live in the "cnn newsroom." versus 16 grams in ensure® higigh protein. boost® h high protein. now available in cinnabobon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv . . so does this pro. i st love a grand slam... ham. and if we proffer it, we know you'll proffer it too. i knew he'd love that sdwich. my cpa told me i wouldn't qualify for the erc tax refund, so i called innovation refunds. their team of independent tax attorneys will work with your cpa to determine if your company is eligible.
