Its about being seen and been heard live. From london. This is Cnn Newsroom with Max Foster and christina macfarlane. Hello, a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the u. S. And around the world. Im Max Foster and im christina macfarlane. Its wednesday, august 28, 9 00 a. M. Here in london, 4 00 a. M. In washington, where the u. S. Justice department is keeping the Election Subversion Case five, against Donald Trump, special Counsel Jack Smith filed a Slimmer Indictment against the former president for his involvement in the January 6 insurrection that hes betting will hold up to the supreme courts divisive ruling on president ial immunity last month, which granted trump sweeping protections. Trump is by no means off the hook for allegedly attempting to so overturn the 2020 election. The shorter documents still charges him with the same four Felony Counts that he faced before, which include conspiracy to defraud the united states and obstruction. But removes key parts of the original, including Allegations Trump tried to weaponize the department of justice and references to coconspirator for Jeffrey Clark a Trump Appointee to the doj, who embraced the lies about Voter Fraud, as well as trumps conversations with White House officials because its believed these actions could now be deemed official. And therefore protected under president ial immunity. Earlier, supreme Court Justice Ketanji brown, jackson told Cbs News that shes concerned about that Immunity Ruling i was concerned about a system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances. When we have a criminal Justice System that had ordinarily treated everyone the same trump has slammed the new indictment saying it was filed too close to the november vote. It called it Election Interference and said all of these Comrade Camila Biden hoaxes should be immediately dismissed. Soon as Katelyn Polantz picks up the story the Justice Department has rewritten the charges against Donald Trump related to the 2020 election, focusing around his role as a candidate, as he tried to spread lies of Election Fraud. So this is the case thats existed for a year in federal court in Washington Dc and was on hold as the supreme court looked at questions of president ial immunity, they said that Trump Couldnt be prosecuted or taken to trial on things he was doing while he was president officially, after the election, while he was still serving, even on January 6. And so the Justice Department has now responded by going to the federal Grand Jury In Washington and cutting down the charges against him. Theyve cut out things like what Donald Trump was saying to the Justice Department and officials, there about spreading allegations of Election Fraud across the country and instead, they are making the focus be about Donald Trump and what he was told by his campaign and what he was telling private advisers of his to do to try and spread the idea of Election Fraud, especially in Battleground States and to block congress from certifying the his loss of the election one of the things though that is very important going forward in the coming days, were going to see a lot of discussion about this is the role of Mike Pence as the Vice President. Pence is still in this Charging Document against Donald Trump. The rewritten Pareddown Version and pence is very likely to be a witness. Both in the coming weeks in upcoming proceedings that have yet to be scheduled and then if the Justice Department is allowed to bring him in as a Trial Witness before a jury. Thats because the Justice Department now says, Mike Pence was not always just in the Executive Branch under the constitution. He was its working for the congress or he was presiding over congress as president of the senate on January 6. And thats how trump was trying to pressure him to block the Election Result Caitlin polantz, cnn, washington Last Hour, we asked legal Expert Areva Martin if the case against trump had been weakened by the revised indictment you look at the original indictment. There are about 30 references to the department of justice in this superseding indictment, there are zero references to the department of justice so clearly, the Justice Department, Jack Smith has a very difficult task moving forward, trying to this case alive given this Unity Shield i would trump soap, be able to use president ial immunity on the basis that he was president absolutely. Max, i think were going to see this case litigated further. And No Matter What determination this Trial Court makes, we should expect to see this Court Case re litigated all the way back to the supreme court in those six very conservative justices that made this initial determination about president ial immunity and no indication that they would rule any differently. So its not clear that Jack Smith will ever achieved the desired outcome in terms of holding Donald Trump accountable for the actions of January 6 we heard from Katelyn Polantz there in that report, the importance that Mike Pence former Vice President , might play in all of this in the Indictment Attempts to reframe trumps relationship with Mike Pence emphasizing that he was acting as trumps running mate. I mean, what do you make of that and whether or not we will likely see pence called as a witness. I think the Justice Department absolutely will want to call Mike Pence again. Mike pence in his capacity as the president over the senate as a member of the congressional branch, as opposed to his role as Vice President and a part of the Executive Branch of government. Again, big fight, old were what was Mike Pence doing . What capacity was he acting in . A when he was engaging with Donald Trump over not certifying the vote on January 6, the Electoral College votes not clear. Again, that Jack Smith is going to be able to convince a Trial Court, an appellate court, and particularly the supreme court, or that Mike Pence was acting in his capacity as a member of congress versus as in his capacity as a member of trumps cabinet. If trump wins, hell be able to get this thrown out. What he . In the election at puts a huge amount of pressure on him to obviously win the election because this now adds this context, this legal contexts one thing thats clear is that its not likely that there will be any trial on the merits of this case before the november election. And if trump does win, as you said, max, chances are, this case goes away as will any of the federal oh, cases that have been brought against Donald Trump. Hes already made it clear that he is going to be a dictator on day one, and that includes dictating what the department of justice can and cannot do and which cases will survive in which cases well not. So its very clear that if he does win the federal cases are likely to go away. Now, we still have those State Charges particularly in the State Of Georgia that are pending against him. We have a State Case in New York of those cases in theory cannot be dismissed by the president of the united states, but we can expect that Donald Trump would put tremendous pressure even on those State Prosecutors if he is elected president meanwhile, democratic president ial nominee Kamala Harris has agreed to her first in indepth Ontherecord Interview with a journalist since Joe Biden dropped out his bid for reelection, the Vice President and her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, will sit down with cnn on thursday. Harris has been criticized for going more than a month as democrats standard bearer without facing the scrutiny that comes from a formal interview with a journalist. Yeah, cnns chief political correspondent, Dana Bash will be asking me questions. You can watch their Conversation Mission right here on cnn this thursday at 9 00 p. M. Eastern. Thats 10 00 a. M.

Im talking im like, oh, my gosh, like Little John is coming down sitting under a canopy of trees hes in Georgias Bellwether of cobb county. Thank says shes most excited to see the influence the dnc had on her 19yearold son in november. Hell vote for the first time. That makes you excited to see your young son excited yes. And to see people his age, one, to actually vote and be engaged. I dont im not necessarily thinking that its supposed to be trendy, but not every voter here shares that enthusiasm. 22 Brooklyn Watson voted for biden in 2020. And although she is leaning democrat this time around she says shes still undecided. I dont think im looking necessarily for fun again, just something that is successful plea going to help though the economy in the community, the enthusiasm from the dnc didnt affect your decision and make you sort of grounded or solidify your vote for harris no, no, its not necessarily solidified, but yes, to learn more i still about her looking at his Checking Account the last four years is enough for charles seem stir to have already made up his mind this november, the republican said hell be voting for a better economy, something he thinks harris cannot deliver the issues that she talks about now and thats shes not proven. Shes not proven so i dont know if shes trusted. Do you think trump is proven the economy was definitely proven . When he was in office, her background is phenomenal coming in as a prosecutor, and i think she is for everyone. And in particular, the middleclass, and we need to varsity Kathy Slaw is the type of Georgia Voter that both Harris And Trump are trying to win over a moderate democrat. Slots voted for republicans in the past, but not this time. She loved the messaging in tone from the Vice President at the dnc as a Human Being as an individual, i think shes looking out for all of us No Matter What background for the selfdescribed centrist, mike wilkinson, the thought of trump getting a second term is scary. Its also deeply personal and when the time came for me in my partner at the time to decide about an abortion or not. We chose not to have an abortion. But that was hers. And my choice. And it shouldnt be there, shouldnt be anybody in that room besides the patient and the doctor, 2020 was decided by less than 12,000 votes now that harris has Voters Attention here in the peach state, can she count on getting their votes to the two big issues on voters minds here, the economy and a womans right to choose. It was interesting to see the mixed reaction among younger voters. I spoke to a group of 20 somethingyearolds off camera, all of whom told me they were undecided, but there was one who did tell me that she voted in 2020 for Joe Biden, but plans on voting for Donald Trump in 2020 before because of the economy. Another issue that voters are passionate about here, a womans right to choose, and thats an issue that Vice President harris could use to pick up some votes in an election that is expected to be close here.
