Case. Hes facing in the peach state he and more than a dozen. 41 counts have been thrown out the judge saying that prosecutors committed a quote, fatal mistake in filing the charges he ordered be dropped. And one of the dismiss charges involves defendants interactions with georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger, who you remember received this infamous phone call from trump in 2021 well, i want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 loads, which is one more that we have because we won the state todays decision is a small victory as the former president still faces at plus criminal charges amid four separate indictments at the state and federal level. Lets discuss with cnn chief Legal Correspondent paula reid paula explain why some of these charges were dismissed and what this means for the broader case. Well, here the judge is saying, look, its not that you didnt make sufficient allegations in terms of the conduct. He said, look, theres an abundance of alleged criminal conduct here, but you were not specific in offering details and without specific details to support these allegations, the defendants can not properly prepare their defense. So Going Forward, the Prosecutors Office has a few options. The judge has given them six months. You have a six month window to bring this case back to the grand jury with the appropriate details. They can also appeal, but boris, its unlikely theyre going to be able to figure out exactly what they want to do until they find out who is going to be handling in this case as we await the same judge making that decision. Yeah, thats kind of a shadow that looms over all of this. Whether judge mcafee is going to disqualify fani willis. He gave an indication as to the timing of that decision, right . Yeah. He appears to be sticking to his original timeline, which is by the end of this week, he will issue that decision. Its incredibly significant because what hes trying to decide is whether fani willis and her entire office should be disqualified from the trump case. Now, this is a sprawling rico case and involves not only former president trump, but over a dozen other defendants. Theyve already gotten some plea deals. The case wont die, boris, if fani willis is disqualified, it will be handed off to another their office. But all of that will result in delays and fani willis already said she wanted to start this case in august. Clearly, his efforts to disqualify her if pushback that timeline, it gets handed off, gets pushed back even further. And as we know, the crux of the Trump Defense strategy right now in all of these criminal cases is to delay, delay, delay, delay, delay until after november. Its a complicated case. Does he said and its one that comes with tremendous political pressure, will see what judge scott mcafee decides paula reid. Thank you so much, brianna. Now, to a potential social media crackdown that could affect roughly half the us population. This morning, the house passed a bill that opens up the door to a ban of tiktok and it passed any rare show of over for whelming bipartisanship do to National Security concerns linked to the huge leap app tiktok is owned by the Chinese Company bytedance and lawmakers fear beijing could leverage reams of us user data to carry out surveillance and also propaganda operations. The legislation would require tiktok to split off from bytedance or face a ban in us app stores. The bill. Next well go to the senate, President Biden said, if it reaches his desk, he would sign it into law. Lets go to cnns Manu Raju On The Hill now for more on this, this vote lead to some pretty strange bedfellows there on the house. Manu you rarely see this level of bipartisan support over something so controversial that could affect a significant swath of voters in the middle of a hotly contested election. But thats exactly what happened earlier today when the house did, in fact pass this bill on a 352 to 65 vote, majority of republicans and democrats voted for this planned 50 democrats voted against it. 15 republicans voted against it. The rest of them voted for it siding with those National Security concerns over the concerns over freedom of speech. Now, former President Donald Trump had publicly come out against this, even though he had supported Banning Tiktok in the past as for voicing his posture, citing in part the fact that potential be that facebook could benefit from the possibility of tiktok being banned. He detests facebook. He also met with a gop, megadonor who has a major stake in tiktok recently, but nevertheless, i had a chance to catch up with some of Donald Trumps close cyst allies who voted against this plan. And i asked him whether or not trump had any influence on their vote i think that this is opening pandoras box. And the last question i have, whos going to buy twitter is going to be mark zuckerberg, how much, how much did Donald TrumpsOpposition Weigh in on you . I havent spoken to donald trump who seemed youve seen recently . I havent spoken to donald trump about the bill. These were my own conclusions and i made the vote based on my own conclusions. And by reading the bill myself, you know, he has his his opinion on the bill and he can voice it. So it doesnt mean that were all robots where we make our own decisions. And mine was a vote no on this bill. But based on everything i just told you, it was it because of trumps opposition. Is that why you oppose . Ive been against this from the very beginning before anyone else, wade and i was against ive lived were tyrion and me is not the role of government to ban apps from the app store. Nowhere in our constitution does it say that now despite this overwhelming vote in the house is chances in the senate are uncertain. Its because a number of senators have different ideas about how to get to the overall hope that tiktok will be banned. Some of them are concerned about this legislation, worried that it may not be constitutional by naming a specific company and the underlying legislation the Senate Majority leader, Chuck Schumer has been noncommittal about this. Brianna sayings, just simply in a statement, the senate will review the legislation when it comes over from the house. He had indicated yesterday they that the committees of jurisdiction would look into this matter further and some of those members, chairman of those key committees have their own ideas on how to do all this. So its going to take some time to get there, but will it become law that is still a question. It will only get harder as it gets closer to the election breonna all right. Manu raju on the hill. Thank you. Boris lets dig into this now with a pair of experts, we have with a Washington Post columnist josh rogin. Hes the author of chaos under heaven, trump xi and the battle for the 21st century. And also with us cnn media analyst sara fischer. Thank you both for being with us. Josh, first to you do you think lawmakers have sufficiently made the case to the American People that tiktok is a danger to National Security its clear from the vote in the house that lawmakers in both parties do see that their constituents are calling for some action on tiktok whether or not this is the action that ends up making it through the Congress Remains to be seen, but we can just see from the public evidence why thats the case. Employees of bytedance have been caught inappropriately accessing the data of americans multiple times, including spying on the journalists reporting on this very issue, tiktok is centered topics that are sensitive to the Chinese Government. Research suggests they are suppressing content related to beijings political aims. So we, everybody knows, weve got some sort of problem here. The question question is, is this a solution that can pass muster both in congress and then through the courts. And i think those are two big open questions right now, and sara, us Social Media Platforms are not available in china and they vowed beijing has vowed retaliation. If tiktok is ultimately banned how could china retaliate . What would that look like well, its a good question. I mean, theres a lot of investment from chinese firms into us companies. If you think about major us firms, think about snapchat, for example, tencent was a big investor there, right . So they could limit investment from their big Private Equity Firms, venture firms, into you lets companies, which is a big part of our economy. The thing to understand here, boris, is that in the us, our values, right . Capitalism, open democracies can be weaponized by other governments who dont share those same values and so i think what were looking at here is this could create sort of an economic did taunt between the two big wolf powers. And that, you know, has a huge impact. We saw even during covid, right . When Supply Chains were being stretched between the two firms, it could be a big deal josh, you recently wrote about Donald TrumpsChange Of Heart when it comes to tiktok after his Administration Push to ban it with an Executive Order that was overturned in the courts hes now opposed to Regulating Tiktok the way that this legislation does in your piece for the Washington Post, you tie some of trumps Financial Issues given his legal problems with this Change Of Heart, put that into context for us. Right . Well, sara correctly mentioned one of the levers that china has is their investment and us companies another one is that they hold hostage Us Investment in Chinese Companies and byte dances heavily leveraged with us capitol cash from Private Equity Firms who were run by donor herzi, including jeff yes, the head of sesko hanaa kick ar and others. And it seems like they got to trump. It seems like the makeup between the Club For Growth and geoff, yes. And the trump team comes at a very convenient time for tiktok and theres no direct quid pro quo, but you dont have to be kresge youre out whats going on here. Theyve theyve made an Alliance Heading into the general election, so that, that explains a lot of why we see whats going on here. But to be honest, trump is so unpredictable that if he became president , he might just go back and change his mind again the opinion that he had when hes president the last time, which is that we should ban tiktok. So, you know but the Chinese Government and bytedance are trying everything they can propaganda, lobbying, money, leaning on us investors in order to try to kill this legislation and to at least the delayed until the election. And then if trump wins, then all bets are off, as well as putting a prompt in the app, asking users to contact their Congress People in order to get this bill killed. It didnt work in the house. Will see what the senate does. But sara, im wondering what the impression is youre getting from other executives in Silicon Valley, executives and other platforms like meta and x whether theyre worried about regulation or what many see is First Amendment concerns tied to this specific piece of legislation well, the valley is excited about this because if tiktok is forced to sell to a us company, now youve got a bunch of firms who would kill to get in there, right . As long as they could get regulatory approval. Thats actually an open question, right . We force bytedance to divest tiktok talk to a us firm. You see what the antitrust landscape is like. Were blocking mergers all the time. So id be curious to see who we even allowed to buy it, but i think Silicon Valley is actually excited. I think Companies Like meta see this as an opportunity to bolster reals potentially if tiktok get banned. So theyre happy on the First Amendment issues, you better imagined and that any foreign app is looking at this and whether it would set a precedent because you cant just banned something. This is why i think its tiktok does if this bill does pass, tiktok is going to appeal, right . Theyre definitely going to sue because you cant just banned something alleging National Security concerns without major proof and not have that the First Amendment an issue. And by the way, you might not realize it, but we do use a lot of acts here in the us that are from other countries. Think about it, how many ads to team who have in the Super Bowl Shan just one of the biggest Fast Fashion Companies in the us. So it would set off a huge precedent that we would go through probably litigating in the courts for many months, if not years. Sara fischer, josh rogan, very much appreciate the perspective.
