8 00 a. M. Here on the east coast. 5 00 a. M. Out west. Were glad youre with us. Good morning. Good morning. We have a lot to get to. Well get to the destruction in hawaii in a moment, but lets a. The District Attorney in Fulton County, georgia, gearing up to present her case to a grand jury as donald trump faces a fourth potential indictment for trying to overturn the election. We have exclusive reporting on evidence obtained by prosecutors directly linking trumps lawyers to the breach of a Voting System there. And cnn is on the ground in maui where the death toll from catastrophic wildfires has risen to 96 and its expected to keep climbing. Only 4 of the scorched area even searched. Police in los angeles trying to track down a flash mob of robbers who ransacked a nordstroms store in broad daylight. This hour of cnn this morning starts right now. And youre looking at live pictures of the Fulton County courthouse. This morning, a fourth possible indictment now looming over donald trump as the District Attorney in Fulton County, georgia, prepares to present her case to a grand jury. As soon as today, fani willis is expected to start presenting evidence in her sprawling investigation for the alleged scheme to overturn joe bidens 2020 election victory in the state. Cnn has exclusively learned through reporting by our colleague, sara murray and zack cohen that prosecutors have obtained Text Messages and emails that show trumps lawyers were behind the breach of a Voting System in georgia. Sources say the messages showed trumps team pushed for and gained access to sensitive Voting Software in the heavily republican county there, as they desperately tried to find evidence to back up their baseless claims of election fraud. And over the weekend, trump continued to insist he did nothing wrong. Is there any chance youd take a plea deal in georgia . We dont take plea deals. We did nothing wrong. We dont ever take plea deals. Its a wise guy question. Youre just a wise guy. We dont take plea deals, because i did nothing wrong. President trump, did you attempt to overturn the 2020 election . You know the answer to that. At least two witnesses are set to appear before that grand jury this week. A journalist who witnessed a meeting of fake yeah, poppy, its more of the same. Its really obviously that the Trump Campaign, people in washington, were responsible for a lot of what was going on in georgia. Thats why fani willis Investigation Stretches beyond people in georgia to folks in washington. Apparently, the Trump Campaign believed that there may have been some voting issues in Coffey County and they were able to obtain actual ballots and access to voting machines. It was at their direction that local officials in Coffey County provided that access. Again, that may be criminal and part of fani willis ultimate indictment. Part of this reporting has to do with what you guys dug into the president himself was personally aware and directing this activity. And it was baseless. No evidence whatsoever emerged of any voting fraud yeah, i think that he came to a plea like this in the beginning, which he thought was a sweetheart deal. The question is, if this is the prosecutor that had signed off on a deal, where this whole case was going to go away for two misdemeanors and the dismissal of a gun charge, i think its fair to argue, is this the right person to now expand this investigation and take it everywhere it needs to go. By the way, Little Nuance here, the Special Counsel regulations actually say specifically, the Special Counsel is supposed to come from outside of government. It cant be somebody thats employed by the government. Bill barr broke that when he appointed john durham a few years ago, he found this, well, im the attorney general, can i do what i want. Thats been violated again. I think it goes to this exact reason youre saying, poppy. The point of Special Counsel is you dont just take someone whos already been doing this and slap on a new title. Fresh eyes. It doesnt change the credentials that he had going in, which is the fact that he was appointed by the former president. And thats an important thing, i think, for the political calculation. This is not somebody who President Biden appointed, that a democrat appointed. It was appointed by that republican. And with democratic support. I dont think the question at this point is so much about david weiss motivation, its just the competency of this investigation. Thats all youre going to ask . Youre not going to ask . Im not going to ask anything. They wrapped us. Im being tolding to to comm commercial, i go to commercial. We appreciate it. We have a new reporting out of lahaina where bill weir shows us how people are coping and helping each other in the wake of these Deadly Wildfires. This right here is a crime scene.

This morning, the historic Deadly Wildfires in hawaii are now being blamed for 96 deaths and the search is ongoing. The Power Company now is now facing a lawsuit for not cutting electricity when forecasters warned about powerful wind gusts. The suit alleges power lines blown over by the high winds made the situation even worse. Hawaiis governor is also giving just chilling new details about what happened. That fire traveled one mile every minute, resulting in this tragedy. With those kind of winds and 1,000degree temperatures, ultimately, all the pictures that you will see will be easy to understand. Because that level of destruction in a Fire Hurricane is something new to us in this age of Global Warming was the ultimate reason that so many people perished. Cnns Chief Climate Correspondent bill weir is on the ground and has learned more about the Recovery Efforts underway in lahaina. Reporter poppy, phil, aloha from the north side of lahaina, just one of the several thousand structures that were completely burned and gutted by the firestorm last week here. This is the line that the Fire Department on this part of lahaina held. They decided, were going to keep it here, this particular neighborhood, most of it survived as a result. But let me show you the contrast right here. This is the home of archie koleppa, a legendary surfer, lifeguard, a ninth generation hawaiian family from the lahaina area and you can see what the spirit of ohana or family in the islands means as everybody on maui and from around the islands began flooding donations here. So they have set up a command post, improvised First Responders here, all volunteers, all people from the community. And theyve created several of these pods around the burned area of the fire zone. You can see all the diapers and critical supplies, the water and food, as people are just coming in here, and its sort of a selforganizing system. Archie has great experience as a lifeguard extraordinaire. People trust him. He does say that the state and federal response is getting a bad rap. Let me ask you about the Immediate Response right now. Theres a perception as weve been outside of the perimeter that theres no federal or real official State Response and most of the work on the front lines are being done by people like you, grassroots, just, you know, improvised First Responders. Is that fair . Whats really happening . What do you need . I dont think thats fair. I dont think thats fair. Because this is a crime scene. This right here is a crime scene. And so, what people dont understand is the government has to do Due Diligence before they start moving in. So theyre at 30,000 feet. Theyre looking, evaluating about how they need to come in to begin to facilitate this operation. At the same time, they have to figure out how to take care of this operation. And so, you know, that is not easy. So its a humanitarian response in the middle of a working crime scene. Exactly. The truth of the matter is, when you look at the overall devastation, we are not going to be ready to allow people to see what were living through in six months. Were hearing from a lot of people outside of the sort of Quarantine Zone right now, the fire zone. Theyre frustrated because they cant get back in to see what happened to their homes or belongings. Theyre afraid that people up here arent getting the help that they need. That theres too much red tape in the shelters, down in the center of maui there. But, those folks here say that right now, its a matter of managing the outpouring of aid. They dont want a lot of this to turn into trash. So theyre trying to manage it as its coming in. Fema is now starting to bring in shipments, we understand. So right now, the message from here is they have enough plenty of tangible supplies. They would love to get a dust shield to protect this community from all of that toxic dust thats blowing up the hillside from down below. Containers to store a lot of this stuff and keep it to when they need it, maybe months from now. And they are really begging for sustainable compassion and grief. Theyre afraid that our attention here will run out and shift elsewhere. Maybe another tragedy on our overheated planet as a result of fossil fuels. They dream, theyre already starting to talk about rebuilding this milanplace in a Sustainable Way that adheres to traditional hawaiian values, in balance with nature as well. Theyre trying to get through this in realtime. Its so striking, but like i always say, you have heard me say it a million times, mr. Rogers taught us to look for the helpers when things get scary. Theres no shortage of that in maui right now. But it is key that people do this right and Pay Attention for the longterm. Because there is so much here worth salvaging. Its paradise. And it can be again. Much more tonight, coming up. Ill send it back to you guys in the studio. Thanks to bill weir for that. The head of fema, fema administrator getting a firsthand look at the devastation in hawaii. She says only 3 of lahaina destroyed by fire has even been searched. They have gridded out the area. They used the dogs and they have the teams that go in there, but its hot. The ground still has hot spots. The dogs can only work so long before they need a break. And so the 3 covers 3 of the grids that they have mapped out. And now they will just me to theically continue to go through that. But one of the changing things is, many of the areas that theyre searching, there are structures that are partially standing. So the engineers are embedded with them to evaluate the stability of that structure. One team on the ground in maui helping displaced residents is ground force by cajun navy. Their founder and ceo joins us now. Rob, i appreciate your time. I want to start with what bill was getting at there, in the sense of, there is a huge influx of aid, people who want to help or at least the process of that getting in. What are you seeing on the ground in terms of what is most needed at this moment . And how do you streamline that process . Ill say, what i think is most needed is patience. I agree with your previous guest, you know, down in the burn zone, you know, its a crime zone its a crime scene. People are people passed away, and they need to be very respectful of, you know, those families that lost loved ones and possessions and but let authorities do their jobs. I would say patience is most needed. Theres plenty of supplies here. I think the governor sent out a request to slow it down, send cash, and let us let the authorities send cash to the authorities and let them buy the things that are needed. Our colleague, buill weir, wo you just heard reporting on the ground there, talked about the hope of residents if people dont turn their eyes, when the news cameras largely leave, theres going to be a lot of need for a long time. And youre working to that effect, to set up what is known as safe camp there in lahaina for nonprofits to work out of. Yes, maam, were working on what we call a safe camp. We bring beds into the community with nonprofit volunteers to provide a countless range of services to those in need. Not only the victims, because all the volunteers that are going down there and helping, and the workers that will be cleaning up the debris. And hope is really the most important thing that we need. And to be sensitive to those who have lost everything and have to rebuild their lives. Many of them elderly, that, you know, have to find the energy and the passion from our community to find a way to rebuild their lives. Its a difficult journey for so many, many people. Rob, have you been in touch with kind of the Search And Rescue operations . Do you have a sense of what theyre seeing, given, you know, we heard from the fema administrator, theres still so much that needs to be investigated, surveyed, just searched at this point. You know, our mission isnt Search And Rescue. And weve been very respectful of the authorities, who are saying, you know, dont go to the burn zone unless youre, you know, a resident. And i havent been there. Were not here to sight see. Were here to provide longterm relief, and its important that, i think, the world understands that this isnt, you know, rush, rush, rush. This is a marathon. Its going to be a long journey, and we have to embed and take care of those in need. And i think the world really needs to understand that. The First Responders and the individuals doing the searches are still looking for bodies. Thats a really horrific thing. Its not that theyre incompetent, i think its just that its an enormous task. This is the worst fire in over a hundred years for human loss. And its a major tragedy. It doesnt need end to when the media cycle ends. It needs to continue. The crisis isnt the fire. The crisis is the human impact to the people who lost their lives. Its an important point to remember. Rob gude, thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Thank you.

It shows two people eject from a vintage fighter jet during the thunder over michigan air show. You can see their parachutes open as they were expelled from the mig 23 on sunday afternoon. The jet later crashed in the parking lot of an apartment complex. Two people who ejected landed in the lake and didnt suffer any significant injuries, thank goodness. No one on the ground was hurt, either. No word on what triggered that ejection. The faa and the northbound Traffic NationalTransportation Safety board are investigating. And some good news. Four male divers who went missing yesterday have been found and rescued by the u. S. Coast guard and navy crews. Crews were searching throughout the night to find the divers after they failed to resurface around noon. A coast guard official told multiple outlets were involved in the mission and no injuries have been reported. Hes already pleaded guilty to federal charges related to torturing two black men.
