We are expecting to hear from President Joe Biden in just a few moments in milwaukee, but first Donald Trumps fourth indictment arrived last night and its the case many in his orbit have been the most worried about. In no small part because several members of his team are also charged. The former president now ensnared in whats known as a rico case in georgia alongside some of his closest advisers like mark meadows and Rudy Giuliani over efforts to overturn joe bidens 2020 win in georgia. The 98page indictment includes conspiracy and racketeering charges. Trump and the 18 other defendants have ten days to surrender to georgia authorities. And the d. A. Wants the trial to start within six months and she wants to try all 19 of them in one go. Cnns sara murray is outside the courthouse in atlanta. Sara, this is a rico case. This is something thats usually against the mob, against gangs. Tell us more. Reporter Fulton County District Attorney fani willis has made very clear she likes this rico statute because she thinks it allows her to tell a more complete story when she brings her case. And i think we saw that again in this 98page indictment that brings charges against not only donald trump but also 18 other codefendants. And shes used this statute in unorthodox ways in the past. She brought a case against Atlanta Public School teachers and other educators. Again, not what you would normally consider the rico statute for. As you said, its often used to prosecute gang members. But again, in this case she used it to lay out a sort of narrative about not just the efforts by donald trump to try to overturn the 2020 election in georgia but efforts by many of his allies in what she describes as this criminal conspiracy, People Including Rudy Giuliani, including mark meadows and including a number of local officials here in georgia like david shafer, the chairman of the Republican Party here. So thats how shes presenting this case going ahead. And again, theres going to be a number of Court Challenges to this. When you have 19 defendants, that also means you have a lot of legal teams looking to punch holes in the case. The District Attorney is trying to make. So were going to see how that plays out, jessica. And sara, what happens, do we know yet, when trump ultimately turns himself in down in georgia. How might that play out . Yeah. Its going to be probably different for donald trump than it is for other defendants because he is the former president of the united states. Weve heard from the local sheriff here previously who says he wants to keep this process as similar as it is for other defendants where you would get a mugshot or you would get fingerprinted. Normally defendants here turn themselves in to the Fulton County jail. But again, now that were in this position where donald trump has officially been indicted the Sheriffs Office is going to have to start negotiating with Secret Service as well as with trumps attorneys about the logistics of how this is going to play out. So it could look different for trump than it does for typical defendants. And when donald trump has been charged federally, normally we see him walk into the courthouse. He gets processed there and he immediately shows up in court. Here it could still take a little while for him to make that initial Court Appearance. All right. Sara murray for us in atlanta. Thanks so much for that update. Jim . As we mentioned, the Sweeping Georgia indictment against former President Donald Trump names 18 other defendants and includes some highprofile names who until now have evaded criminal liability. Lets begin with one of them, the president s former personal attorney, former New York City mayor as well. Also mark meadows, who was of course trumps former chief of staff. We should note giuliani made his name stand by there. Were going to go to the president , President Biden now, whos commenting on the disaster in maui. Have a listen. Devastating wildfires, some of which are still burning in hawaii. Theyve claimed the lives of 99 people so far, and they havent cleaned things up yet. The deadliest wildfire in more than 100 years. A whole city destroyed. Generations of native hawaiian history turned into ruin. Ive spoken to governor josh green multiple times and reassured him the state will have everything it needs from the federal government. I immediately approved the governors request for a major disaster declaration. Thats a fancy way of saying whatever you need youre going to get. And thatll get aid into the hands of people who desperately need it, who have lost their loved ones, who have lost their homes, their livelihoods, who have been damaged and destroyed. And think about this. All that area theyve got to plow up they cant do it now because they dont know how many bodies are there. They dont flow whats left. Imagine being a mom or dad wondering where your child is. Imagine being a husband or wife, a mother, father. Its really tough stuff. Almost 500 federal personnel have been deployed to maui to help communities and survivors get back on their feet. Fema, Search And Rescue teams are sifting through the ashes in that fivemile area that youve seen on television thats been burned. Its painstaking work. It takes time. Its nerveracking. Most of the debris cant be removed until its done. My wife jill and i are going to travel to hawaii as soon as we can. Thats what ive been talking to the governor about. I dont want to get in the way. Ive been to too many disaster areas. But i want to go and make sure they get everything they need. I want to be sure we dont disrupt the ongoing recovery efforts. Fema administrator griswold, whos the best weve ever had i think, was on the ground this weekend. I just talked to her. Shes back in the states. I have directed her to streamline the process as quickly as possible to help register survivors for meeting federal assistance without delay. To tate fema has approved 50,000 meals, 76,000 liters of water, 500 beds, 10,000 blankets as well as other Shelter Supplies for survivors displaced from their homes. Fema also authorized onetime payments of 700 per household to folks that have been displaced so they can do the immediate things of just taking care of medications and prescriptions that they so badly need. Were working with the state to make sure survivors who have lost their homes have a place to call home until we can rebuild. Were also surging federal personnel to the state to help the brave firefighters and First Responders, many of whom lost their own homes, their properties while theyre out busting their neck to save other people. How many have been so impacted themselves that theyre still working around the clock to put the fires out, evacuate survivors to safety and find the missing. Ive ordered all available federal assets on the island to assist local crews including the u. S. Coast guard, the Navy 3rd Fleet and the u. S. Army. In the immediate aftermath the coast guard and navy support of maritime Search And Rescue operations. The Army Helicopters help Fire Suppression and efforts on the big island because theres still some burning on the big island, not the one where you see on television all the time. Femas deployed more than 140 urban Search And Rescue personnel as well. And there are so Many Organizations to thank like the American Red Cross helping survivors missing loved ones. Cell phone providers making sure First Responders can make and respond to emergency calls. Commercial airlines that have Evacuated Tens Of Thousands of people from the island. The list goes on. And the Small Business administration has dozens of staff on the island and has begun making low interest federal disaster loans available to hawaii businesses, homeowners and renters and nonprofits to help them begin to rebuild just to get by for the near term. And were going to coordinate and continue to coordinate relentlessly with the people on the ground to make sure critical work continues. In the meantime, you always hear this phrase, and ive been to so many zatdisasters in my career s almost hollow, our prayers are with the people of hawaii. And not just our prayers. Every asset. Every aset they need will be there for them. And well be there in maui as long as it takes. As long as it takes. And i mean that sincerely. Were going to have more to report on this. But today i come to milwaukee to talk about what were doing to bring manufacturing back home. Its about our progress building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down. You know that trickledown weve been listening to President Biden in milwaukee where hes just commented on the ongoing crisis on maui. He says he is sending not just our prayers but every asset to help the people there, noting that the death toll now stands at 99. But he acknowledged, and im quoting him here, we dont know how many bodies because the saep of the burned area is just beginning. He also said in explaining his failure to visit maui to date, he says he does not want to get in the way of recovery efforts. Well continue to follow the tragedy in maui as well as the administrations response. Meanwhile, were also of course covering news from georgia last night. Former President Trump in total now facing some 91 charges across four criminal cases including georgias two cases, federal brought by special counsel jack smith, two state cases, one in new york, the latest in Fulton County, georgia. It can be hard to keep it all straight. Thats before you even get into the issue of coordinating the Upcoming Court appearances and trial dates. Case in point, while trump and his allies were focused on responding to the georgia charges today, one of his codefendants in the separate classified documents case was arraigned in florida. Cnns zachary cohen, hes been covering this from outside the courthouse in Fulton County. Zach, make sense of the latest for us, the latest charges coming out of that courthouse there behind you. Reporter yeah, jim, a busy legal calendar stacking up here for the former president. We know that the d. A. , fani willis, in georgia, in Fulton County here, has given the former president ten days to voluntarily surrender. She also issued what is effectively an Arrest Warrant if he does not choose to do so. We do expect trump to in person surrender to authorities here in georgia. The logistics and the details of that are still being worked out. But you have to keep in mind as well that there are 18 other codefendants that were named in this indictment who will also have to turn themselves in to authorities here in Fulton County. So you know, were going to have to really see how that plays out in terms of because fani willis herself has said she expects and wants to try all 19 individuals including trump together. And that really does sort of underscore what the message of this indictment was, the Sprawling Alleged Conspiracy Case that fani willis laid out in these Charging Documents with everything from organizing Fake Electors to Pressuring State Officials V Fishlz to breaching Voting Machines in Coffee County, it does paint this narrative of a broad conspiracy case that she is going to charge and charge in the near term. She did not comment when asked on whether she had spoken to the special counsel to coordinate it given there are going to be presumably some competing Court Appearances, trial dates Going Forward. Would that be expected in these circumstances . Jim, i think were kind of in Uncharted Waters overall here. With a former president whos now been indicted four separate times and is facing potential Court Challenges Going Forward, a Court Calendar Going Forward with four separate cases. But you know, a federal case and a state case like this that do seem to overlap at times, they are going to have to work out the logistics. It was interesting that fani willis previously was asked about any contact she had with jack smiths team, she said she effectively didnt even know who jack smith was. Well see how that plays out Going Forward and if that does change. Of course all taking place in the midst of a president ial race as well. Zach cohen in atlanta. Jessica. And joining me now to discuss this further is nick ackerman. He was a special Assistant Prosecutor and Assistant Attorney for the Southern District of new york. Thanks for coming on with us. We know trump and his allies are facing these these rico charges are being used against them. Shes used the d. A. Down there has used that in the past to go after gangs, go after even schoolteachers in Atlanta Public Schools for inflating students test scores. Help us understand what the benefit if youre the d. A. Is to using rico here. Well, the benefit in this particular case is being able to put together all of these schemes to defraud which consist of multiple individual crimes and making it one crime that carries with it a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, a minimum of five years to complete the sentence, the sentence of five years, the minimum could be probation as well as prison. And theres no pardon here other than five years after a conviction that at that point you can go before the Georgia Pardon and parole board and seek a pardon if you so schooz. So what it really does is it puts together all of these different crimes as one single crime that carries very severe punishment. And it also puts it all together for the jury. As fani willis has said, this really explains to the jury the whole story. And this is the whole story thats put together. Basically, seven different criminal schemes, all of which simply boil down to really three things. One, a lot of lying. Lying about the concept that there was fraud in the election in 2020. Two, lying to upstanding Public Officials like Governor Kemp to try to get them to basically go against their oath of office that requires them to uphold the constitution and the laws of the state of georgia. And three, stealing. Trying to steal data from Coffee County to get voting data to try to prove a nonexistent voter fraud. So when you really come down to it, this entire case boils down to lying and stealing. Yeah. And it has all of those layers in it and all of those codefendants. Is it harder to prove these types of cases because they are so sprawling, or not . No, in some ways its actually easier because in a way you have them all together, it shows the interaction between and among the different schemes, it makes the jury understand the real criminality here. Ive used this particular statute i was on the first i was the first one to use it and the first one to use it against a mafia boss. And i had five, seven different crimes that if you took any one of them i could have never convicted this individual. But when you put them together under a rico statute they all interacted with each other and cases that would have never been brought because they couldnt have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt were easy to prove beyond a reasonable doubt with a rico count. Right. Because youre really putting it sounds like what youre saying is youre putting all those pieces together for the jury to let them see the full story there. Thats right. Nick akerman, thanks so much. Thanks for your analysis. We appreciate it. Great to see you. Jim . Coming up once again, he calls it a witch hunt and a politically inspired indictment. Former President Trump attacking the new criminal charges against him in the state of georgia. Despite it all trump remains the frontrunner for the republican nomination.

Go to your happy price priceline donald trump is lashing out in typical fashion after his historic fourth indictment, and hes promising a, quote, major News Conference next monday where he claims he will reveal what he calls irrefutable proof of fraud in georgia. Keep in mind that after multiple investigations the only fraud in georgia came from trump the trump team. Thats according to Fulton County District Attorney fani willis. This Morning Trump used his truth social platform to attack the indictment as what he called a witch hunt. And to promise complete exoneration. Cnns Alayna Treene is tracking how the former president is defending himself online. And alayna at this point with a fourth indictment there is a bit of a playbook here. Oh, totally, jessica. Donald trumps team has now been through this three times before and they do have a playbook theyve cultivated over the past several months. And his team tells me that they think its working. And so theyre going to keep using it. And youve seen donald trump kind of reiterate the same rhetoric he has used when talking about the past indic indictments. He has called this Election Interference. He has argued that hes a victim of political persecution. And hes directly going after the person filing the charges. In this case its the District Attorney in Fulton County, fani willis. Of course in past cases its been the District Attorney in manhattan, alvin wbragg, or special counsel jack smith. Another thing i want to point your attention to is the timing around some of these charges. We know that fani willis gave him a deadline as well as the other 18 codefendants of next Friday August 25th At Noon to appear and surrender before the court. Im told from my conversations with Donald Trumps team that they do expect hes going to end up going in person. But the question is when. Theres not a lot of of time. On monday hes going to be giving a, quote, major News Conference. Thats something he put out on truth social today. Hell be doing that in his golf club in bedminster, new jersey. And then next wednesday is also the debates. Still up in the air whether or not donald trump is appearing. All indications from his team im getting is that he probably wont appear. The questions of when this potential Court Appearance is going to happen next week is something well be keeping an eye on. Right. But the deadline is next friday. And it is so surreal to have that debate and this gop primary calendar just hovering around all of this. All right. Alayna treene, thanks so much. Jim . Lets talk more with National Political correspondent for Time Magazine molly ball, cnn Political Commentator alice stewart, a republican strategist. Good to have you both here. Great to be here. So there are some indictments of the current leading candidate for the gop nomination. Alice stewart, let me ask you this. And you speak to voters as well as well as Party Officials and so on. With charges so far hes maintained and even grown his lead, trump. Are trials different . When he goes on trial is it different for voters, do you think . That certainly remains to be seen. What were seeing here, as you mentioned, each Passing Indictment seems to be just further confirmation of what many people already think. What were seeing is Confirmation Bias is set in. It is in full effect. People who believe that donald trump has done nothing wrong and this is a weaponization of the doj and this is a twotiered justice system, they think this is just further evidence of that. Those who say they are fed up with donald trump and they dont want to continue along this path of denying the election and overthrowing the results of the election, they are ready to turn the page. The problem is the volume of these indictments is so great. Its almost become white noise. A lot of people are saying enough already, this is just one big attempt to discredit donald trump. And many people are having a difficult time distinguishing between this indictment and previous ones and theyre just whitewashing it all as this is just the doj and democrats going after donald trump because they view him as a threat even though this one is much more different, this is much more serious and i think as the facts come out its really going to have an impact on those who are undecided and those that are ready to turn the page. The charges relate to different things, right . Handling classified documents, Hush Money Payments and attempts to overturn an election. I want to ask you, molly because you were just in iowa, first voting state, talking with candidates, presumably about indictments and other legal challenges as well. Do they say anything to you in private that they dont say in public about this . Do they nudge you and say listen, i know this is a big deal but i cant say it there . Or are they too smart to do that . Theyre not doing that. But i mean to alices point the republican candidates who are supposed to be Donald Trumps competitors have done so much of the work of sort of inoculating him from every successive indictment in order to have the effect that shes describing where it is sort of white noise for the voters. I sat down with ron desantis for a story that will be on time. Com later this week, and i pressed him on this. Heres a guy who says he believes in law and order. Hes a harvardeducated lawyer. He talks about how important it is to hold officials like Anthony Fauci accountable. So i tried to get him to talk about the things that trump is accused of. This indictment hadnt happened yet but we had three others. And it was exactly the same thing that youve heard him and the others say, exactly the types of Talking Points that alice has been describing, the weaponization of the justice department, the politicization of law enforcement. He wanted to talk about why he would pardon trump if he were elected president. He did not want to talk about what trump is accused of actually doing. Of course the claim that this is Election Interference even though it deals with an attempt to literally overturn the results of an election in 2020. I want to ask you, alice stewart, is this by not all but most of the gop candidates, because pence and christie, they have and Asa Hutchinson have said this is a real problem and the president has been disqualified. But in general theyve stuck with him. Is that just a gop primary play . Because if one of them were to beat trump in the primary prez xwliem theyd have to pivot to win over independent voters who Polling Shows take these charges seriously. They would absolutely have to pivot. And right now as weve said they are really relatively behind donald trump with regard to this is nothing but overreach by the department of justice. And not really pushing back. We have three as we mentioned Asa Hutchinson, chris christie, mike pence and will hurd saying enough is enough. Some are encouraging him to get out of the race. What they do want more than anything is for this to stop being anything and everything that theyre talking about on the campaign trail. They are very anxious for next wednesday, this debate, to have the opportunity to talk about the issues that people across this country are concerned about. They want to change the narrative. And the Campaign Conversation from Donald Trumps past grievances to joe bidens future problems with how he leads this country. And thats where the conversation needs to go for these candidates and the election as a whole. Theyve been saying that for a while. It hasnt happened. Quickly, you believe trump will not show up to the debate next wednesday . From talking to folks. I dont make predictions. But his campaign is urging him not to do it. They say its his final decision. But they are urging him not to do it. They feel hes too far up in the polls, he shouldnt take the risk. Molly ball, alice stewart, thanks so much. Jessica. Still to come this afternoon, President Joe Biden speaking now in the Battleground State Of Wisconsin as he tries to put his economic agenda at the front and center of his Reelection Campaign amid another trump indictment.

He is in the Battleground State Of Wisconsin talking up the highpaying Clean Energy Jobs created during his administration. The white house says President Bidens policies are helping america to, quote, grow the economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not top down. The president clearly trying to put his economic agenda at the forefront of his Reelection Campaign. But jessica, of course the former president s fourth indictment dominating headlines for now. Well see what are the deciding factors as we get into the 2024 Election Cycle. It does suck up a lot of oxygen, jim. And that is the question. Is this the right strategy for democrats as they inch closer to the 2024 election . And joining me now is democratic congresswoman Madeline Dean of pennsylvania. She also served as a trump impeachment manager. Congresswoman, great to have you on. Thanks so much for being here. I just want to ask you first, we know the president is there in that Battleground State Of Wisconsin talking about his achievements, talking about the oneyear anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act and the jobs hes trying to create. What do you think about the challenge of him and democrats like yourself trying to break through to voters in this Election Cycle when we, you know when the News Coverage is so dominated right now by former President Trump . Well, jessica, good to be with you. Good to be with another dean. I did listen to some of the remarks of the president. And i had the pleasure of working on the Regional Leadership Council alongside the white house to showcase exactly what we did over the course of the last congress, congress and a half, from the American Rescue plan, the infrastructure bill, chips and science act, Safer Communities act and the Inflation Reduction Act. These are transformational bills with billions and billions of dollars coming into every Single Community across this country to make their Community Stronger and safer. So well keep touting that message. Well keep talking about it. The difference that it is making. And you dont have to look much farther than our own economy. Inflation down to 3 . 13 million jobs created. 800,000 jobs in manufacturing. And so many more things to talk about. And if you look at us as compared with other countries around the world who are trying to recover after covid and a global shutdown, our Inflation Rate is far lower than everyone else. The united kingdom, for example, struggling at over 8 inflation. Well continue to talk about that message. As some of my friends say, we can walk and chew gum at the same time as we make sure that this country pursued not a strategy against the former president , pursues the law against the former president both criminal and civil. He must be held to account. And so i hope your viewers know that its not normal for us to wake up to a fourth indictment of a former president of the united states. We must not become numb to this. And yet the president must be held former president must be held to account. And i want to talk just a little bit more before we move on to the next subject about 2024 and the president s Reelection Campaign because the special counsel was just named in the hunter biden case. His advisers are accepting the fact that thats probably going to hang around as a Talking Point as we head into 2024. And so many of your republican colleagues had called for that now that they have it doesnt seem to be enough for them. What do you make of the Attorney General naming the special counsel . Do you think it was the right move . And how do you hope that biden and his campaign address this moving into the election . I cant judge whether it was the right move because certainly we dont have the evidence. But i will judge the fact that this is not at all equivalent to what were talking about with donald trump. Take a look at this indictment. I remember, jessica, i stood on the floor of the senate when we were involved in the trial for impeachment number two, and i remember part of my presentation was around that now famous phone call that the president made with mark meadows to Brad Raffensperger in georgia saying he just wanted to find 11,780 votes. At the time that i said that and we played the audio from that exchange, that phone call the president called the perfect phone call, i heard a gasp from the republican side of the senate. Someone whispered oh, my gosh. He will be held to account for that. It struck me in two ways. Number one, that some of these senators did not know the evidence against the president , maybe hadnt even heard of that phone call. And number two, they recognized the grievousness of that kind of a phone call. The corruption and criminality that it reveals. So i think we did what we could with the evidence we had with our impeachment and a lot of that evidence was then flushed out even greater by the january 6th committee. And i remember the phone call to me felt like the tip of the iceberg. And now as i read this indictment, this 98page indictment, we see what was underneath that tip of the ice iceberg. More than 40, 50 people working day and night hour after hour day after day flying across the country to lie and to try to steal the election. And i did want to ask you about that because you make a good point, which is you all were working with more limited information and now this indictment has revealed with each indictment we get more information, we get more a timeline or details. What has struck what has struck you about this latest indictment out of georgia . The number of people busily working to lie, knowing that they were wrong, creating false slates of electors, falsifying documents, encouraging others to lie. You read in here the knock on the door of ruby freeman. How chilling is that . What people were put through as a result of trumps narcissistic need for authority, for power, for money. And in this case now just to plain old stay out of prison. It was kroextraordinary. Even one the quotes by john eastman is i just want you to do one more slightly wrong thing im not paraphrasing it perfectly. They knew what they were involved in was a criminal conspiracy to try to hold on to the election. When is it that the Republican Leadership is going to part company with this president who came in the door with a pattern of corruption . You remember days before he was elected he paid off a former mistress in order that the electorate would not know it and then had others falsify documents. He went out the door stealing classified secrets in between of course he incited and attempted a coup to take over, and by the way killing police officers, maiming police officers, sending every one of us running for our lives including his own Vice President as he sat back and watched for hours. When will, for example, mr. Mcconnell part ways with this president . It is time. All right. Congresswoman madeleine dean, were going to leave it there. Thanks again. Its nice to see you. Jim .
