Exclusive new reporting on one of Donald Trumps alleged coconspirators in the plot to overturn the 2020 election. An attorney who is not only said to have planned the socalled fake elector scheme, but cnn identified him on capitol hill on, january 6th, and you will not believe who he was with. So many questions unanswered as crews continue the Painstaking Search of the rubble from that deadly hawaiian fires. Where did the fire start, how did it start . Now the islands Emergency Management chief who faced criticism is stepping down. A mistrial in mississippi. Why the Justice Department is now being called to intervene in an attempted murder case. Two white men who were accused of attempting to murder a black fedex driver. The video the Police Departments been accused now of withholding from the case. Im kate bolduan with sara sidner and john berman. This is cnn news central. For the First Time Since his Georgia Grand Jury indictment, former President Donald Trump is speaking out. Trump appearing on fox business reacting to the charges alleging him of being ahead of a criminal enterprise to overturn the 2020 election. Listen. You know, we have a tremendous group of people in this country, and im not just talking about republicans. We have them on both sides, and we have a lot of them. And when they watch this witch hunt, this disgusting situation, where they do it for publicity, for fundraisers based on in her case, theyre all bad, but in her case i have four of them. The das said theyre doing it for the betterment of the country. The sweeping indictment against former President Trump and 18 others in georgia also including details surrounding 30 unindicted and unnamed coconspirators. Cnn has new information of some of them by piecing together details included in that indictment. Among them, boris epstein, bernie carrick, and georgias Lieutenant Governor, burt jones. Crime and justice reporter ind Katelyn Polantz is following the story. What more are you learning about the unindicted and unnamed coconspirators . Reporter we are able to note several because of The Public Retired On what happened after the election in 2020. These are people who are not charged with crimes, but that doesnt mean that they are excused from having any part in this case. They could be people who might flip if prosecutors wanted them to, if they need them, they could be people who provided valuable information to prosecutors, and we could see them as witnesses at the trial in the future. But some of them are people who are very close to donald trump and his political sphere, and then theres also one person to really focus on, the Lieutenant Governor of georgia, burt jones, who at the time was a State Senator during the election period of 2020. And he also was a fake elector for donald trump. He appears to have escaped any issues in this case as of now because fani willis, the d. A. , had sent a target letter, told him he could be charged in the case. But then a judge ordered her not to investigate him because of a political step that she had taken with a fundraiser related to his election pursuits. And so there is an agency that is separate from fani willis, the d. A. In georgia, who is vowing to have attorneys appointed or a Special Prosecutor appointed to work with him. So jones is one to watch going forward. The prosecutors want the case in d. C. To go forward by january of next year, but lawyers for donald trump are asking for a really long wait, out to 2026. When would we know what the judge decides on this . Reporter well know by the end of the month. At least that has been the timeline thats been laid out so far. The Justice Department, they wrote their arguments for what they want which is a january trial, a trial that would start quite soon from now. A pretty aggressive timeline. Theyve made really compelling arguments about the publics need to have a resolution in this case, especially in an Election Year given that it is about the previous president ial election. Now Donald Trumps team does not want that at all. They dont want the trial to happen for almost three years from now. And that is what they said in the Cower Filing Last Night court filing last night. Always weve got to listen to what the judge says. Yes, we do. So do they. Thank you so much for your great reporting on this. John . So new this morning, a Cnn Exclusive On One of the attorneys charged in georgia for conspiring with donald trump to overturn the election. Ken cheeseboro is one of the alleged architects of the socalled fake elector plot. Now cnn has identified him on video on january 6th at the u. S. Capitol, and whats more, the video specifically showed him following conspiracy theorist alex jones around the grounds. With me now, one of the men who poured through this video to find this, cnn kfile Senior Editor andrew kaczynski. Remarkable reporting. What did you find . Whats interesting is he follows alex jones for more than an hour as they make their way to the capitol grounds, including in some restricted areas that were previously barricaded off by police. Now whats interesting about this who is Kenneth Cheeseboro . Hes one of those alleged master minds of that plot to use fake electors to keep donald trump in office. Hes one of the intellectual leaders of that movement, and who do we see him with but alex jones. Alex jones was one of those people who was out there fanning the flames of just the most inflammatory rhetoric in the lead up to the january 6th riot. One expert that we spoke with to made this connection where it shows just this thin line that we see between people like cheeseboro, the people behind the scenes, people coming up with how they were socalled legally going to take the election from joe biden, and the people like alex jones who are just using that really fanatical rhetoric which got people to there on january 6th. Now we first see the pair together about, i want to say, a half mile from the capitol. They walk up there. Alex jones gives a speech eventually. They make their way to the other side, this was all done using publicly available footage. They walk about halfway up the steps, and we see them together for about over an hour up to maybe an hour and a half. It really is interesting to see chesboro there. Weve highlighted him with the red hat through that. Filming, you know, just there for it. No evidence that he went into the capitol itself . What does he have to say . Theres no evidence he went into the capitol. No evidence that he was violent. Theres no evidence that alex jones of violent or went into the capitol either. Its interesting because people that jones led up the steps actually then did go into the capitol. We reached out personally, didnt hear anything back. His attorney gave us a statement, they declined to comment on this. But they said that theyre going to mr. Chesboro is going to allow the Legal Process to play out and declines Public Comment at this time. As i said, very interesting video to see. Great work by you and your team. Great to see you in person. Kate . And joining us now is cnn senior legal analyst, former federal and state prosecutor, elie honig, and political analyst for the associated. April, 2026. This is the request now, elie, from trumps attorneys to when they would like to see the trial on the federal the 2020 election, the federal trial begin. On its face, i wanted to get your take on what you think about the push to 2026. Because quite frankly, the contrast is almost comical between the request from trumps attorneys and the requests from the Special Counsel asking for january of next year. I think both sides are far off base in their requests. 2026 is sort of obviously way too far out there. Its hard to even conceive of 2026. I think thats a vast overreach by Donald Trumps team. But on the other side of the coin, asking for trial to start in january of 2024, as doj has done, is also not just unrealistic but really gets close to infringing on Donald Trumps right to prepare for a trial. Hes the one who has a constitutional interest here. Hes the one whose libertys at stake. I think his lawyers in their submission make a powerful argument that we cannot even physically get through the 11 million documents that we are in the process of being given by doj between now and january. And they dont have to just sort of read through those documents, they have to analyze them, prepare their own defense, they have to file motions. So i think both of these dates are really out of bounds. I think its going to be up to the judge to find a middle ground. The question is will the middle ground be before or after the 2024 election. Which is obviously critical, that is the maybe that is the question both legally and politically in this moment. Some in terms of the political impact of a 2026 start date, if that would happen which seems to be an unlikely situation, but what do you think that means . Well, i think like elie said, that 2026 date is not realistic and doesnt seem like its going to happen. But whats unavoidable is that throughout Donald Trumps four separate indictments there are so many separate court propro proce proceedings, hearings, updates that will be sprinkled through the primary calendar. And his legal troubles are going to be so difficult to avoid. They already are so difficult to avoid as the primary calendar progresses and as people start voting in early states early next year. But you do see even with these georgia charges and even as these his criminal the criminal accusations against donald trump become more and more serious, the the reaction among his challengers in the republican primary hasnt really changed. You can kind of put them into people who are defending him, you can put them in a bucket of people who are saying this is why he condition be our nominee. Mike pence has been a little unusual because of his own personal role in the race. And that just shows you where republicanbased voters are. They dont believe hes targeted, and they think they are politically motivated and supporting trump here. I want to play what bill barr, trumps former attorney general, said about all of this yesterday. He thinks the federal cases against donald trump are responsible and focused and important in his view. He speaks very differently about the charges against donald trump coming from new york and the case in georgia. Listen to this. Im not happy with the georgia case. I think its much too sweeping, much too broad, excessive case that is make it look like people are piling on and being excessive to trump and feed the narrative that hes being victimized here. And i also think theres merit in the point that this is a case that i dont think is going to be triable before the election. How many trump trials do you think will happen before the election . Well, keeping in mind that i wrote a book critical of bill barr, i happen to agree with him here. I think its very unlikely that this georgia case gets to trial before the election. If we just look at the way things are handled in georgia, theres another racketeering case happening in georgia right now. They are on their seventh month of choosing a jury. Thats how slow things move in georgia. Given the astonishing breadth and scope of fani willis charges, there is flow way this trial gets started and completed by the 2024 election. If i had to put an over under on how many trials we will see before the 2024 election, i think id play like the vegas oddsmakers here and put it at 1. 5. I think we are likely to see at least one of the cases. I think judge chutkan has made clear she intends to try the federal january 6th case before the election. And i think its 50 50 whether we also see the maralago case. I do agree with former attorney general barr that those are the two most important cases that should go first. Good to see you guys.

This morning talk about a rare, unwelcome, dangerous occurrence. Youre looking at live pictures of Cabo San Lucas. That is the beginnings of a very powerful storm. 1 had 5 mileperhour winds 145 mileperhour winds heading right at california. Now it could weaken before landfall, but forecasters still expect dangerous Flash Flooding. Death valley, which sees an average of two inches of rain a year, this storm which is called hilary could double that in one day. Bulldozers have been moving sand on beaches as this could become the first Tropical Storm to hit california, southern california, in 84 years. It just doesnt get hit with storms like this. So lets get to Meteorologist Derek Van dam to get a sense of where the storm is, the timing, and where exactly its going. Derek . You know, i like that you showed some of the pictures coming out of Cabo San Lucas because you can see cabo on our weather map, and here is the location of hurricane hilary. This is roughly 300 miles away. So were starting to see an expanding wind field. Some of the Outer Rain Bands from the storm already impacting this major tourist destination. Thats in the southern california, baja peninsula. Where is the storm heading from here . Lets take it further into the future. Official forecast track, were waiting for that 11 00 a. M. Eastern Standard Time update. One things for sure, we have a weakening storm in this forecast. As it approaches southern california, it will likely be a Tropical Storm. So lets time it out. If youre in san diego, perhaps los angeles, ventura county, for instance, these areas susceptible with gusty winds by sunday that could gust over 50 miles per hour, especially in southern sections of california. We want to keep an eye on that. The Higher Elevations could gust to perhaps 60, 70 mileperhour across the mountainous regions of southern california. Its going to interact with cooler ocean water. This will help weaken the storm as it approaches the southwest. But as is typical with tropical systems, influx of moisture will bring heavy rainfall to this area. So were concerned about the flash flood potential. And this highlights it, john. The National Weather service saying actually the Weather Prediction Center saying that they have never issued this highlevel risk of Flash Flooding for some of the easternfacing slopes of the mountains in southern california. So potentially a years worth of rain in a council of days. Again, for the Hurricane Snobs who say its just a Tropical Storm thats going to hit this area, Tropical Storms dont hit this area. This is very, very rare which is why people need to pay attention. Good point. The amount of rain theyre going to get quickly is not something they usually deal with. Derek van dam, thank you for keeping us posted on this. Sara . Our Camera Operator showing the latest of what it looks like in lahaina, in maui there. The devastation is so extextens. A team with the atf is joining the investigation into the cause of the deadly fires. The death toll remains at 111, but only a handful of those people have been publicly identified. And with more than 1,000 possible missing people, the fbis asking the families to start providing dna samples. Crews are going inch by inch, painstakingly through the damage and destroyed buildings trying to find remains. Mauis county mayor says about 45 of the impacted area has been searched. With so many deaths and so much destruction, residents want answers about the response. And cnn is learning hawaiis Water Management agency may have delayed giving permission to use extra water to fight the flames. And mauis Emergency Management chief has just resigned. He faced criticism after mauis Early Warning sirens remained silent as the fire spread extremely quickly. Cnns randi kaye has the story for us. So many of us residents felt like we had absolutely no warning. Reporter hawaii has one of the largest Public Safety outdoor sirens in the world. Sirens that were silent as wildfires raged. Question is, why . First it was this we would not have saved those people on the mountain side. Do you regret not sounding the sirens . I do not. The sirens, as i mentioned earlier, is used primarily for tsunamis. Reporter thats what the head of mauis Emergency Management agency said wednesday before suddenly resigning a day later. Even before that Press Conference ended, his reason had changed. This time suggesting the sirens werent used because people wouldnt have been able to hear the warning. Its an outdoor siren, so a lot of people who were indoors, Air Conditioning on, whatever the case may be, theyre not going to hear a siren. Plus, the winds were very gusty and everything. I heard it was very loud. So they wouldnt have heard the sirens. Reporter same story with hawaiis governor. First this sirens were typically used for tsunamis or hurricanes. To my knowledge, at least i never experienced them in use for fires. Reporter then minutes later, another explanation. This time the governor suggested at least some of the sirens were broken. The sirens were essentially immobilized, we believe, we believe, by the extreme heat that came through. Some were broken, and were investigating that. Reporter yet that doesnt all track with the countys own web page, mauisirens. Com, which clearly states how the siren system is capable of alerting residents to multiple disasters, including wildfires. Emergency alert reporter we found this explainer about the sirens uses on hawaiis Emergency Management agencys web page. We also use sirens for hurricanes, brush fires, flooding, lava, hazmat conditions, or a terrorist event. Reporter this map also from the countys page shows where the Warning Sirens are located. According to the state, there are about 400 sirens statewide including 80 on maui. And in the historic Down Of Lahaina where more than 100 people were killed in the flames, there are five sirens. Five sirens that were not used to warn those in grave danger. Instead, Officials Say they chose to send alerts by text message to cell phones as well as alerts on land lines and through tv and radio. It is our practice to use the most effective means of conveying an Emergency Message to the public during fire. Reporter while that may have worked in some cases, the wildfire moved so swiftly it knocked out power and cell service. So how were residents supposed to receive those warnings . Theres no warning at all. Theres not a siren, not a phone alert, not a nothing, not a call. Reporter and hawaii has had problems with its alert system in the past. In 2018, a Cell Phone Alert was mistakenly sent warning residents of an incoming missile attack. Obviously that was a false alarm. But this has been going on for decades. Back in 1960 after a tsunami hit the area of hilo, hawaii, residents didnt even know what the Warning Siren meant. They didnt know what to do, so they ran up toward the ocean instead of to the Mountainside Area for safety. And 61 people died. Sara . It cant be said enough, this is the deadliest wildfire in u. S. History in 100 years. Thank you to our randi kaye in hawaii. Kate . Coming up for us, Take A Sledgehammer to vivek ramaswamy, come to the defense of donald trump in absentia.

You are looking at live pictures of former Vice President mike pence. He is at this republican president ial cattle call of sorts in georgia. A lot of candidate s are going there the next two days. And speaking in a few minutes, Florida Governor ron desantis will be on that stage. Now Governor Desantis has been in the news over the last 24 hours because of this super pac memo that was published by the New York Times in which the super pac seems to be Instructing Desantis in the upcoming republican president ial debate to go after businessman vef vivek ramaswamy. It says fake the vivek or vivek the fake. My question is why does the Desantis Campaign or people close to it, why do they think going after ramaswamy is such an important idea . The man with the answer to that question is none other than senior data reporter harry etten. Nice to see you, sir. Nice to see you. Whats going on inside the republican primary before the debate . Yeah. So take a look at the Polling Trend Line here. Now versus six months ago. I think this gives you an understanding of whats cooking. Donald trump is up from where he was six months ago, 43 to 53 . We see that across all the polls. We see Ron Desantis Falling from 28 to 16 . But look at ramaswamy. He wasnt even asked back in february. And look where he is now. 11 , coming up strong on desantiss 16 . The answer of why is this man smiling. See the smile there, why is this man smiling. 0 to 11, thats a big jump. A very large jump. Its not just that were seeing it in the horse race, right, were seeing it in the favorable ratings. This is the favorable rating of gop voters among those who have an opinion. Ramaswamy still not well known. Look at this favorable rating, 78 , equal to Donald Trumps 78 . Ron desantis back at 73 . So ramaswamy has already passed do desantis on this metric. It is interesting that ramaswamy is running in this lane that people have tried to run in before. Hes an unusual candidate this cycle. But weve seen this kind of candidacy. We absolutely have. So businessmen, gop candidate who have risen in the polls in past years, obviously we all know donald trump. Hes still running now. Did very, very well. Remember steve forbes back in 1996 and 2000 . He came in second place in iowa back in 2000. How about herman cain who at one point led the gop race back in 2012. So the idea of a businessman doing well in republican primaries, that is not a foreign concept at all. Its happened many times over the last 25 years. And a couple faded. One notably did not. Not at all. Thats exactly right. And you know, were talking about this idea, okay, Maybe Ramaswamy can come up and, you know, replace desantis as the alternate to trump. The fact is, if we look at trumps position in the polls right now, three of three candidate historically in those positions, they all won, gore, bush, and clinton. Again, just to show that One More Time here. You see donald trump at 53 , ron desantis down to 16. First place, second place. Youre seeing that people with comparable margins to this in the past are these three. They all became the nominee. Harry, have a wonderful weekend. You, as well. Thank you very much. Kate .

Com in mississippi a judge has declared a mistrial in the case of a white Father And Son accused of chasing and shooting at a black fedex driver. It happened last year. Dmonterrio gibson says he was just doing his job and delivering packages when two men in a pickup truck began blowing their horn at him. He tried to get away but says they started chasing him and eventually shot at his van multiple times. The men were identified as gregory and brandon case. They were on trial facing attempted murder charges, but yesterday a judge said he had no choice, he had to declare a mistrial after an officer admitted Video Evidence was never turned over to the prosecution or the defense. Gibson says hes disappointed in the outcome. Im not saying everything was purposely done but incompetence in the police department. For them to not turn over certain pieces of evidence, you just all right. Civil rights attorney and Legal Affairs commentator areva martin is joining us now. Thank you so much for getting up so early there in los angeles. This story is really baffling. The judge says the detective violated court rules not once but twice. He revealed evidence that the judge had explicitly said cannot be given to the jury when he was testifying. And then he withheld evidence from both the prosecutor and the defense. Could there be consequences, and should there be consequences for this Police Officer who whos supposed to be upholding the law . Good morning, sara. I absolutely hope there are consequences for this Police Officer. Its unimaginable that this Police Officer would have been allowed to not turn over this key piece of evidence, and one of the pieces of evidence at issue is the Videotape Interview of mr. Gibson after he reported this crime of being shot at, unprovoked, by this Father And Son. That the prosecution did not go into court before the trial began, requesting and demanding that this officer turn over this evidence and requesting perhaps that the officer be held in contempt or jailed himself for refusing to turn over the evidence just not clear as to why that was not done and why this trial proceeded given that huge gap and that huge issue related to the detective in this piece of evidence. Yeah. Because the defendants certainly have every right to see every piece of evidence against them. That didnt happen in this case which is why the judge made the decision he did. One of the attorneys for the fedex driver says the Justice Department needs to get in there and start investigating. Would the doj be looking into whether someone, for example, threw this case on purpose, or how would they operate . I think the department of justice and the attorney general for the state of mississippi both should be investigating what happened with regards to the police, the local polices investigation of there case, the handling of evidence, the refusal of this detective to turn over evidence, the statement that the detective made during the trial before the jury. I think there are lots of issues for the department of justice and for attorneys from mississippi to investigate because this looks like foul play. It looks like either, as mr. Gibson said, complete incompetence, or perhaps intentional efforts on the part of the police department. There are allegations, sara, that there are some familial relationships between the two defendants, Brandon Gregory and his son, the two individuals involved in this case. Maybe some relationships with the Police Officer. So all of that needs to be investigated. I want to ask you something the judge said that stuck out. He said in his 17 years he had never seen anything like this when it comes to what this Police Officer did. What do you make of what happened here . Have you heard of Something Like this happening in an open trial . You know, this is rather unusual, and i agree with the judge that this egregious error doesnt happen typically in criminal cases. But you know, this case has so many similarities to the ahmad jarbery case. Two white men, Father And Son, unprovoked case, and shoot at and attempt to murder mr. Gibson. We saw in mr. Arberys case they were successful in shooting and killing him. So so many similarities and things done that are questionable. Areva martin, thank you so much.
