Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom With Wolf Blitzer 20240829

79 at cardia cardia. Com or amazon im Arlette Saenz in rehoboth beach, delaware and this is cnn good morning. You are live in the cnn newsroom. Im Jim Acosta in washington again, this morning with special Counsel Jack Smith not backing down and bringing a retooled January 6 case against former President Donald Trump in a new indictment, federal prosecutor theres made some tweaks after the Supreme Courts controversial ruling giving for president s Donald Trump immunity from prosecution for official actions he took while in office. But all four of the Felony Charges remain accusing trump of attempting to defraud the government by obstructing the certification of the 20 in 20 election and trying to strip voters of their rights. Trump calling smiths action quote, An Act Of Desperation and ridiculous. And hes demanding that the case be immediately dismissed. The new indictment underscores the immense personal significance of a Trump Victory come this november, if he returns to the white house, he would have the authority to shut down this case and another federal case, the classified Documents Case against him. Lets bring in cnns alayna treene. Alayna, what comes next with this indictment and hows the Trump Campaign Responding . Well, look the Trump Campaign is fighting exactly the way that you would expect them to Donald Trump had sent a series of posts on this last night including into this morning calling this a hoax, saying that this is Election Interference. He noted that early voting starts in just ten days, i believe on september 6. And so thats what theyre sayisaying about this that, Jac Smith and his team are using this as a way to interfere in the upcoming election. All the things we have heard him say repeatedly luck what comes next . I mean i think theres a lot that still needs to be sorted out with this. And i think its clear that Jack Smiths team is not backing down just because of that supreme Court Ruling does not mean that the indictment went away. They are arguing that many of those things that he did were not official acts. Including having Mike Pence try pushing him to not certify those Election Results on January 6, 2021. And so i think were kind of back to where we were before with how the Trump Campaign is responding. Theyre fundraising off of this. I think you could have expected that given that theyve been successful in those efforts in the past. But this is going to continue to be a Key Line of Attack Pack for them. And it is something that weve seen has worked at least with his base of voters. Its unclear how this will actually play with some of the more moderate independent leaning voters that theyre crucially targeting right now. Yeah. And alayna, something else weve been talking about this morning. There are accusations if physical altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during Trumps Visit on monday involving some Campaign Staff or perhaps one staff member. What can you tell us yeah, this is its still unclear exactly what had happened. I think what is clear is that both the cemetery as well as trumps campaign to say that there was some sort of incident that happened. And im told it was happening but it was not during the wreath laying ceremony. But when Donald Trump actually went to lay flowers at a Burial Site for some of the fallen soldiers who are, who were killed during the abbey Gate Attack during the Troop Withdrawal from afghanistan now, im going to read for you some of the backandforth from both side. So Donald Trumps team has been circulating this letter that some members of those families have been sharing. It said, quote, wed given our approval for President Trumps official Videographer And Photographer to attend the event ensuring these sacred moments of remembrance were respectfully captured and so we can cherish these memories forever and again, this is from some of the Family Members of some of those soldiers who were killed now the cemetery and i think theres a difference here just because the families may have said that they had given their blessing does not mean that the cemetery dead and there is a federal law that prohibits political campaign or electionrelated activities within the army national Military Cemeteries from engaging in some of this activity according to a statement from the cemetery obtained by cnn, they wrote that it had reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants which includes photographers, content creators or any other the persons attending for purposes or indirect support of a partisan political candidates campaign. Okay. So i actually talked to i just got off the phone with a Trump Adviser about some of this. I think theres a lot of he said she said going on, its very unclear. We do know that the Arlington National Cemetery has filed an incident report. We have to see how that will get resolved, but i mean, obviously this is a very sensitive moment. It was a stolen moment did the trump camp, perhaps overstep and what they were doing . I think we have to wait and see what happens when this report was filed, what the rule says, you cant bring your Campaign Videographer with you you cant do it. I mean, thats just the Roof Arent Lana treene . Thank you very much. Joining me now, republican strategist matt gorman, cnn political commentator, jamal simmons, and cnn legal analyst Norm Eisen. I should note norm is outside counsel for the democracy defenders pac, but normalise jump right into this. This is a Superseding Indictment. It replaces the old indictment a different Grand Jury was used in this new indictment. What can you tell us . There are some differences here, but the thrust of the case is basically the same. Thats right, jim. The Supreme Court established a test and whatever you think of The Sun the prim courts decision, which has been widely criticized for going too far and taking too long. Theres now a distinction official conduct. Donald Trump Cant be prosecuted for unofficial conduct, personal conduct, campaign conduct. He can be and what Special Counsel . Jack smith has done with this Superseding Indictment, a Replacement Indictment is strip out anything that might be arguably official for example Donald Trump talks to his Department Of Justice. Look, theres an argument a president Talking To Doj thats official all of that is out of the original indictment the out of 45 pages, theres now 36 left, so nine pages cut 130 paragraphs of allegations, 106 left. But what remains is this scheme tell lies to get fake electoral certificates and use those to pressure Mike Pence to recognize that the loser of the election was actually the winter that guts of it is all political. It remains i do want to shift gears, Go To you, mat on this incident at Arlington National Cemetery . Terry, and get your response. We just heard alayna talking about what what is your reaction to that yeah. Look, this is just unfortunate all the way around, right . It seems like alayna said it was some sort of he said she said i did see that letter and then lucas ohara, who was one of the somebodys with the Trump Campaign that they have veteran also spoken Support Stephen chung, who was a Trump Adviser, also tweeted out some guidance we got from Arlington National Cemetery. Look, this is a he said she said its unclear what happened, will probably never know the actual details of this thing. But ill say this look, it was a somber moment that unfortunately, hopefully hes not marred by this and i also do in a political sense but i just me follow the rules. If you Go To arlington, if the rules say you cant do campaign related activities, arlington, its Arlington National Cemetery. I dont understand this. He said she said stuff. I mean, if If Arlington tells you you cant bring your videographer to a Grave Site you comply. I dont know how is this . I dont understand how thats, you know, how you can theres Wiggle Room there well, i think just said the Trump Advisor tweeted out the guidance. He not so again again, we dont know the facts here. We can extrapolate out but again, i think what i would expect to see either Trump Campaign using Ana Stand as a issue in the campaign and the withdrawal of that, that was when you really saw Joe Bidens Poll numbers almost permanently go down August Of 2021 jamal. Whats your response . What do you think its sad . Thats my response. Its sad that we had a president united states commanderinchief, somebody who is we entrusted with the full Faith And Confidence of the american people to execute the laws and to protect us and keep us safe and to lead our troops and Hes Somebody who just saw in that he doesnt have that high regard for truth. And i got it. I got to tell you when it comes down to it, i take John Kellys Word over this Down Trump from the incident at the previous cemetery where general trump was sewn to say that he just didnt understand why people would make that sacrifice. We heard him say himself that he thinks that the mettle for the civilians is better than the medal for the troops. I just think that its just a sad day that were even considering this man being Commander In Chief again, it just seems like its disqualifying i do want to button up the January 6 conversation. I mean, one of the things that we brought up earlier, norm with respect to this new retool, Jack Smith case, is that in this dovetails out of Whack Jamal was saying, if Donald Trump is elected in november, if he becomes president again, the January 6 case goes out the window, essentially, right. The classified Documents Case goes out the window. Those cases are essentially gone come January 6, 2025. Thats right, jim, because those are federal cases to end the president has two powers, is like a onetwo punch that can knock those cases out. He can simply order the Department Of Justice to dismiss him, and he can try to pardon himself, but this explains why Donald Trump and his allies are in such a rage this morning. Jack smith with a new Superseding Indictment, less than 70 days away from the election. As reminded everybody Donald Trump is alleged to have engaged in very serious 2020 Election Interference fahrenthold. Will he do it again in 2024 hes been convicted of it, 34 counts of Election Interference and cover up in Manhattan Court in 2016, paying Hush Money to hide information from voters. And now smith has reminded us this election is a referendum, will Donald Trump be held accountable or not very important move. And jamal, Vice President harris, Governor Walz, theyre going to Sit Down with Cnn Tomorrow for their first interview. What do you, what do you think she needs to save . We need to get across in your Mind Right . Yeah. The Vice President s headed down the georgia, which is a place i know pretty well with the cause they are worked for Center Cleveland when he was there and shes got the great Advice Somebody named quentin fulks, Whos Deputy Campaign manager who ran Senator Raphael Warnock Campaign down there. And so what theyre trying to do when they get down to georgia was is important. Is theyre trying to shave some of the margins in these, in these rural counties that their campaigning in, right . So 25 of these rural counties are african africanamericans. You think about atlanta, and Atlanta Suburb lets be in the place where you campaign, but theyre going to try to tweak up those margins in some of those rural counties. So shes going to shes going to do a interview at the same time. And this interview with Governor Walz, which will happen in georgia, which is incredibly important state for them, will set some context. One of the things weve been talking about for the course of the last week is you dont just do an interview just to do an interview when youre on a campaign, you do it because youve got something to say. Youre trying to advance something that you want people to pay attention to. And i think they want people to pay attention to georgia and to what theyre trying to do in these rural counties, not just in georgia, but in places like North Carolina where 17 counties that Joe Biden won by more than 35 of the Vote Theyve got to get those margins up and they want to show people in those rural counties that theyre paying attention to them. Theyre important to them, and that they need them to support the Harriswalz Ticket . Yeah. Matt, what do you think of that Campaign Tactic that the Harriswalz Campaign is laying out. Are they want to Go To some of these rural counties . You and i both know that that has been solid Trump Country for the last several years. Harriswalz trying to cut into that. And what do you think yeah. No look, theres an old Spree Lyric about pocan a dead dog with a stick to see if it runs. I think when kamala and tim to catch it over the ticket from Joe Biden, you saw them kind of poking at certain things and seeing if it was really closed off to all democrats are close up to just Joe Biden, like for instance, maybe georgia or North Carolina was only closed off to Joe Biden as were seeing some more competitive polls now immigration going on offense that might be closed off to more democrats writ large. I think a little bit of Testing Phase right now it makes sense to do from a purely political perspective all right, Norm Eisen matt gorman, Jamal Seven thanks very much, guys, really appreciate it. Thanks for the discussion thank you. Alright.

This source, but Kaitlin Collins tonight at nine quote, a domestic enemy in the white house, end quote, that outrage from thenhouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as she lashed out at then President Donald Trump the midst of the January 6 attacks, newly released footage obtained by cnn shows pelosi as she was evacuated that day and how she and her colleagues later tried to regain control of the capitol and certify the results of the 2020 elections cnn, Sunlen Serfaty Hi joins us now. Suddenly this is part of a 2022 Documentary Film by pelosis daughter, alexandra. She does a lot of documentaries, but not one that gets this personal theres some very dramatic moments here. There certainly are jim and we are notably seen this new video because the House Committee on administration, they push for hbo, which is where the documentary for a start. Theyve looked pushed for for them to release the Video And Hbo notably is owned by warner brothers, which is the Parent Company of cnn. They released nearly 50 new minutes of video that the committee on it over in the house of representative received just this week. And i want to play one specific this is actually from the morning after January 6, so on january 7, and we see Speaker Pelosi in her office and shes meeting with staffers and one of her staffers suggests maybe potentially calling for the rest its a ignition of the capitol police chief, steven sund. It is then when pelosi interrupts him and says, no, no, no. Lets keep the focus on President Trump let me just say this i think focus has to be on the president. Thats not differ ourselves. Ive never liked son. I think he should go and go on a long time very focused on this schumer. Just sure its just now a political Breaking News Alert that schumer is going to fire the senate. Sergeant at arms and how she yeah was material that had a role in his what were saying well, i i dont want to have it on a par with the insurrection and the impeachment and the rest of that, if they ask, i will respond, but im not doing it on a park because its a diversionary tactic. Stood understood. So there you see her the morning after kind of talking to staffers about what their message you wouldnt be in another parts of the video as weve talked about, its just remarkable seeing her us through these back quarters of the capital, rushed out of the building into her suv. Just remarkable behind the Scenes Footage from that day . Absolutely. All right. And theres some of it right there and were showing some images earlier that showed her talking to her staff. And you can see the shattered mirror in her office, remnants of some of the damage that was left behind by those attackers on the capital well, sunlen serfaty. Thank you very much for that excellent report. We appreciate it. A new this morning, israel has carried out raids in airstrikes in the occupied West Bank israels, military says the raid targeted the threat of deadly attacks and accuses iran of arming and funding terrorists in the West Bank palestinian health officials say at least nine people have been killed. Video obtained by cnn shows bulldozers tearing up a road. You can see it right there. Hamas is accusing israel of deliberately destroying infrastructure and is calling for an escalation and of all forms of confrontation as theyre putting it, lets take a closer look now with barak ravid. Hes a cnn political and global affairs analyst. Hes also the politics and foreign Policy Puerto for axios barak, lay this out for us if you can. What are we seeing right now is, is this an escalation that we could see on the rise in the coming days well, you know, one of the things that was sort of on the sidelines in the last ten months since October 7, is the situation in the West Bank we were focused On Gaza for obvious reasons, on iran, on lebanon on the houthis in yemen. But in the West Bank over the last ten months, theres been a gradual escalation every day, more and more and more with on the one hand, israeli military operations in a, you know, increasing pace on the other hand, more and more attacks by palestinian militants. And also dramatic increase in violence by extreme settlers against palestinian civilians. And when you put all of that together with the fact that the idf is mostly in gaza or on the border with lebanon. So you have less forces in the area. You see that this is another arena where the escalation is brewing and i think that in the last few days we saw an eruption but it was not out of the blue. It was something thats been building for several months now and hes clashes, as you said, that theyve become more common in the West Bank since whats been taking place in gaza got started 11 months ago. And today, their condemnations from the palestinian authority, hamas Islamic Jihad i mean, it sounds it sounds as though we have the makings of something that could really get out of control no doubt. And the West Bank is a whole different ballgame. You have in the West Bank and other, at least, at least just from the palestinian Authority Something like 40,000 people who have weapons and are part of the Palestinian Security Forces and the israeli Defense Establishment has been warning the israeli government, netanyahu and his ministers for months. As recently as last week with the head of the Shin Bet Security agency sending a letter to netanyahu telling him that some of the governments policies are pushing the West Bank into an explosion. An explosion that as the Shin Bet Director says, would be a disaster and a catastrophe for israel so in many, many ways, all of Israels Security chiefs are warning the government of what might happen in the West Bank, what is already happening in the West Bank. But at least at the moment that Government Policy we have to say is such that you know, contributes to this escalation and so broad, what does this do to the Ceasefire Talks in the Israelhamas War . Theyre in Doha Today is that is that right where do you see things standing at this point . Well the, talks continue in Doha Today or resume in doha after earlier this week, they had meetings in Cairo And President bidens top Middle East advisor, Brett Mcgurk is there. He saw the qatari Prime Minister yesterday. We had this Morning Cia Deputy director David Cohen saying that at the end of the day hey, israel as showed seriousness in the negotiations and the decision is one, if your Sinwar Hamass Leader in gaza and i think that the biden administration is not giving up on this issue, but i hear more and more voices that say that it might not be possible to get this deal before the president ial election. And then the situation afterwards can look very different. Very unpredictable at that point. No question about it. And in brock, you have some new reporting on the Hostage Rescue that we saw yesterday from that Hamas Tunnel in southern gaza. What can you tell us . Well so first theres also an updated reporting the idf overnight recovered the body of an Idf Soldier who was killed and his body was kidnapped on October 7 by hamas. His body was recovered from a tunnel in the area of the city of Khan Younis and this is after yesterday, we had a more lets say, more successful operation that alive hostage was brought back and was rescued. So now another dead hostage, this brings the number of hostages left in gaza, 207 but it also shows that every day that passes, you discover more and more hostages are not alive and this raises the question how much time do those hostages have left those who are still alive that every day that passes . Increases the danger for their lives barak ravid, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Thank you officials in Swing States are preparing for Election Interference from trump allies if he doesnt win in november, ill speak to the top Election Official for arizona i still prosecuting issues in that state from 2020 right.

Oo this is a good book title. With freelancers supplies five good things. Listen wherever you get your podcasts for, President Donald Trump has been indicted. Again, special Counsel Jack Smith has retooled is Election Interference case filing a new narrower indictment that alleges trump and his coconspirators organized fraudulent slates of electors in seven states. One of those is erin for Zona And Secretary of state Adrian Fontes joins me now Secretary Fonda is good to see you. Thanks so much for being with us. What was your response to this the Special Counsel filing this reworked Trump Indictment . Well look, having spent a good amount of time in the criminal Justice System. This is a Superseding Indictment. Regular indictments come out of the Grand Jurys. Those are regular citizens analyzing evidence the Superseding Indictment goes through the same process. And what happens is sometimes the charges will expand, sometimes they will contract. This is part of our regular criminal Justice System and of course, the defendant is innocent until proven guilty. But at the end of the day, this is just another part of our democracy that were trying so hard to protect. And how does this impact whats taking place in arizona well, it doesnt really have a significant impact on whats taking place in arizona. This is a separate prosecution by the Special Counsel. It may or may not have some bearing thats up to the Attorney General here. In the grand Canyon State they are doing what they need to do on the fake Electors Case that has been charged and indicted here in State Court so these separate proceedings, multiple separate proceedings across the united states of america our im sure. Good solid evidence for american voters that theres, theres something that doesnt smell so good in our town and secretary, i do want to bring this up after spending years pushing these Conspiracy Theories about the 2020 Election And Trump claiming that he won that election, recently admitted, or sounded like he was admitting that he lost that race or came up short. Lets play a little bit of that and talk about on the other side this was last week in office for me because of a horrible, horrible election where i got many millions more votes than i got the first time. But didnt quite make it just a little bit short. You can hear him there, say he came up a little bit short your response to all of that. I mean, i know you were you were there in arizona when the 2020 election happened. Obviously, you saw some of the controversy that that sprung up there in your state. Obviously, there were slates of electors, false slates of electors submitted from a whole host of states as trump and his allies were trying to overturn that election. But to hear Donald Trump now essentially acknowledged that he came up short in 2020. I was just wondering what your reaction was well, my reaction is going to be as an elected democrat and not as the Secretary Of State. This is a guy who knows hes been lying for a long time and enough is enough with the nonsense. We have to grow up as a country and its really amazing to me. Thats a normal rational people will follow these ridiculous conspiracies and what we know to be lies. There has never been an ounce of evidence anywhere in the united states of america that shows the widespread fraud that mr. Trump promoted. Im excited about the fact that democrats have an amazing set of candidates at the top of the ticket and Vice President harris and Governor Walz but as the Secretary Of State now, i have to say it is terrible. What is happening to our electorate, the intimidation across the country . Based on these lies, the fact that elections officials are being threatened, which is really an act of domestic terrorism. We just saw another indictment coming out of the Department Of Justice and the fbi on a case that involves both Colorado And Arizona enough is enough. And its about time that somebody admits to that loss which has caused so much disharmony in the united states and how is it going to go this time around . Are you concerned that there will be shenanigans aimed at disrupting this upcoming election. We have just a couple of months from now yeah, lets just be very clear. Arizonas elections have been solid for a very long time and they were solid in 2022. And just this year, weve had four of our five elections with not a single issue and thats because the good folks at our county governments, the folks whove come in temporarily as volunteers and everyone in Elections Offices across the united states of america particularly in the grand Canyon State. We do a good Job And Weve been doing a good job. Were going to do a great job for our voters in november as long as we can get cooperation from the election deniers, the folks whove been lying and grifting and creating an environment where some folks think that its ok to threaten them american citizens. Some folks think its okay to try to harass voters while theyre standing in line. Or the cure. And i will encourage american voters all over the place is to vote early no matter how early your jurisdiction allows you to vote. If you vote by mail, send it in right away. If you want to go vote in person do it early. If you are able, that is the way to avoid Election Day shenanigans. And were hoping beyond hope that we can do everything we can to prepare. But unfortunately, we cannot control everything. I just hope that everybody will be safe and we will have a civil election in 2024, because thats what the american voter deserves all right, Secretary Font as thank you very much for your time this morning. We appreciate it thank you very much. All right. Coming up, were just showing you this video.

We see that Thenhouse Speaker is rage at the 45th president and her determination to hold him accountable. Youre done with Donald Trump. How does it feel to the capital into the jeremy now democratic congressman of texas, Joaquin Castro, congressman. Thank you very much for joining us. Were you at the capitol that day . I do recall what was going through your mind in what is your reaction when you see that video from the former House Speaker or yeah, it was at the capitol complex. I was actually in my office and raped, burned. So i wasnt inside the house of representatives. But that video is just brings back all the memories of that day and the threat that members of congress and others who worked at the capital were on under and most of all the threat that our american democracy was under. So its very, very emotional, very raw footage. Speaker pelosi and i think that its very timely also because it reminds us about whats at stake after this election. And jim, i dont i dont know. And i cant say with 100 confidence that if republicans, if Kamala Harris wins this election and republicans control one chamber of congress, that theyre going to be willing to certify the election. I think we just have to face that fact. That there is still a threat to our democracy that is present, right now you think theres a possibility, even if Vice President harris wednesday election, i have that right . It might not get certified i think there could be problems you saw last time that there were a lot of republicans have voted against certification and what happened since that is the republican party has tried to purge and really Donald Trump because its become his party has tried to purge the party of anybody who voted to certify the election, anybody that voted to impeach Donald Trump for inciting the actions on January 6 so yeah, i mean, i think that we have to be real and congressman, i what was your reaction to the special Counsel Jack Smith of filing this Superseding Indictment of trump for January 6. He kept all for the charges. It snips out the part about using the Department Of Justice as part of that alleged scheme. Your thoughts on all of that i guess one of the questions i have is, what did you make of Jack Smith essentially not backing down here, despite what the Supreme Court ruled well, im glad that he filed a Superseding Indictment because its important to hold Donald Trump accountable. Its important that the american people understand that nobody is above american law, including a president or former president of the united states. And so of course it took some time because the Supreme Court gave Donald Trump, unfortunately, some immunity for official acts, something that i think is dangerous that they did other people think is dangerous. But im glad that Jack Smith is pursuing this case nonetheless. I do want to ask you about something happening in your home state. The call from lulac, prominent latino civil Rights Organization were federal investigation into the texas Attorney General, ken paxton. It comes after several homes of democrats were raided in connection to what they were describing as a voter integrity investigation. What was your response to that . I was really shocked and disgusted that they would send in a s. W. A. T. Team basically to the home of an 87yearold woman who has worked in earnest all of her adult life in trying to get people to vote, register people to vote. That they would be pointing guns at her and others on a matter of voting. And it came around the same time within the last few days when Greg Abbott announced that he had removed or suspended one 1. 1 Million texans from the voter rolls. So how is it that this woman is trying to help some people registered to vote . And they go in and send a Swat Team into her home and pointing guns at her and yet the governor of texas dumps 1. 1 Million texans from the Voter Registration roles, and he calls that election integrity. I mean, the irony is just incredible, but i would expect that this is how texas republicans are trying to Hang On in texas. Kamala harris is within five points of Donald Trump. Colin all red is within two points of Ted Cruz right now. And so they see the Winds Of Change that are finally coming and theyre trying to Hang On. I think by cheating. And do you think Theres Justice Department should look into this summit that lulac has calling for that. Do you want that to happen as well . Yeah. I think there should be an investigation. There ought to be a state and federal investigation because you shouldnt be able to just remove 1 Million people from the rolls that swiftly. In fact, jim, i was at the other day, i went to go with my son to get him a haircut and the person who was cutting his hair said that he had checked his Voter Registration and that it was suspended and so he was asking me, well, what do i need to do to make sure that i can vote . And theyre going to be a lot of people like that in texas who show up to vote and their registration is suspended, and theyre going to have an issue all right. Something well be following up on that. Congressman Joaquin Castro of texas. Thanks very much. Appreciate it alright. Still to come, well, the Billionaire Founder of telegram be indicted for a slew of alleged crimes involving his platform.

Cost, contributing to the Success And Growth of our business um, Zachary Cohen and phoenix. And this is cnn the ceo of, telegram, the encrypted Messaging App has been taken from Police Custody to court and France Video from moments ago shores the russianborn Billionaire Pavel Durov being transferred to the Courthouse Official say Hell Face questioning ahead of a possible so well Indictment Or Off was arrested saturday on a warrant related to the absolute lack of moderation according to investigators, they claimed telegram was complicit in crimes flooding alleged fraud, drug trafficking, and child pornography. Cnns Matthew Chance joins us now, that what more can you tell us . Well, i mean, this is a key moment for pavel. Pavel durov, who is now about to stand in front of a french judge who will decide whether to set him free or indict him for complicity in these crimes of promoting terrorism. Child pornography political extremism, hate crimes antisemitism, stuff like that. All of which takes place on his social media platform, telegram, which is one of the least moderated of the Big Social Media Platforms in the world. And of course its a Landmark Sort of case in that sense, because this is the first time really that a owner of a platform like telegram, which has some 900 and million users around the world, particularly in eastern europe. And the former soviet union, is being held directly accountable for the content on that site. And so its something of a a sort of a precedent if you like, in that, in that sense, were going to find out over the coming hours what will happen again, the options for the french judge, he could be indicted and charged with these with these offenses, or he could be set free and no charges will be against him. Or could be designated as a witness and there could be he restrictions on travel. We dont know yet, but clearly, all eyes in france. And of course in russia, where hes originally from, are watching this very closely. Indeed, you and matthew, how has the kremlin reacted to the Ceos Arrests . Why would they care that they have reacted badly even though Pavel Durov is not necessarily a Sort Of Procreate Kremlin figure. Hes in the past, resisted pressure by the kremlin to reveal the identities of some of the users who are associated with ukraine on telegram, telegram is used can ukraine and in russia as well, both sides of that horrific conflict. But theyve said theres the kremlin have said that they believe this is a an attack by france on the Freedom Of Speech which is ironic given that the kremlin itself has been cracking down hard on the free media in that country in its own country for the past several years. Nevertheless they say and theyre right about this. Its part of a broader debate about the about the rules that should apply to Social Media Platforms like this, and how much they should be held accountable for what goes on inside them. All right. Interesting tape coming from the kremlin. Alright, Matthew Chance. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. And thanks for joining us this morning.
