We begin in Fulton County, georgia, ahead of another whirlwind week for former President Donald Trump and his 18 codefendants. For some the clock is ticking on the next step of this legal process, waive arraignment and make a plea or show up to court in person on wednesday. Mark meadows and john eastman are among the seven who have yet to make their movements known ahead of that approaching deadline. As for the former president , you wont see him at the Fulton County courthouse wednesday. His legal team waived his arraignment, and he pleaded not guilty to all charges last week. I want to bring in nbcs justice and intelligence correspondent, ken dilanian, former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, glenn kirschner, and former republican congressman from florida and an msnbc political analyst, david jolly. Ken, is there any insight into the movement of the other seven codefendants . Good afternoon, lindsay. We have no reason to believe that these remaining seven codefendants will do anything other than waive arraignment and enter the plea or show up for some reason if they want to show up in person and do it in person. An arraignment is a formality. These folks are out on bond and a condition of their bond is to show up in court. Whats going to be interesting next week is to see how that federal judge decides whether mark meadows is successful in removing this case or at least his case, his part of the case to federal court. Thats going to be an interesting decision, and then were still watching this juggling of schedules where some of these defendants want to go to trial, sooner rather than later, as soon as this fall. Some of them want to sever from others, and donald trump wants to delay this thing as long as possible. All of this will be playing out in the coming weeks. Ahead of wednesday, what are you watching for . So i think, lindsay, over the course of the next week or perhaps couple of weeks, the legal landscape is going to clear up a bit with respect to whos going to go to trial first, and how many trials might there be. A couple of the defendants, i believe Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell have already indicated theyre going to demand their speedy trial rights, which means they will likely go to trial together at the end of october. Other defendants have yet to make that choice, whether they want to assert their speedy trial rights, and if they do, i suspect they will be batched together with chesebro and powell with the late october trial date or do you want to waive your speedy trial rights and perhaps be in waive to going to trial well down the road if the Defense Teams believe their clients need more time to prepare. So i do think its going to come into sharper focus, how many trials were going to have, and how the defendants might end up being batched together in these trials. Quick, you have Kenneth Chesebro who some might say is the master find of the fraudulent electors scheme, and then you have Sidney Powell who of course in some of the paperwork, trump himself is being, you know, basically saying some of her ideas are crazy. Would it help or hurt them to be lumped into a case together . You know, i dont know that it would help them to be lumped together, but heres what i suspect theyre going to do, lindsay, because i have had to try large codefendant cases where they had to split them up into a series of trials. What they will do is likely assert what we call the empty chair defense. I can almost hear chesebros lawyer arguing, you know what, my client may have doodled some things about alternate electors, but you know what, he was listening to the sound advice of defendant john eastman, the person who should be sitting in that empty chair right there. He was the dean of the law school. He was a constitutional scholar, and he was saying that this elector thing is on sound legal footing. Dont punish my client, Kenneth Chesebro for listening to bad advice from a law school dean, i can see Sidney Powell doing the same thing, blaming Rudy Giuliani, who should be sitting in the empty chair next to her as the guy who was really saying, we have plenty of evidence of fraud and dont punish my client for Rudy Giulianis bad behavior. It doesnt often work but i have seen that kind of an argument resonate with a juror, and theyre just playing for one juror because theyre looking for a hung jury. Congressman, Donald TrumpsCampaign Announced in an email friday they surpassed their august fundraising goal set as his exact mug shot bail number. Does the fact that the Fulton County trial be televised hurt his ability to message off of this . Look, its an unknown. At this point, i dont think so. I think anything related to his being charged or indicted is helping him. Now, the question would be, what if are the dynamic changes, what could those dynamics be. One is, what is the ultimate disposition of mark meadows, between the Fulton County case and the jack smith case, we have some reasons to wonder, is mark meadows willing to cooperate . What information is he providing. One dynamic that could hurt donald trump is someone as close as mark meadows to the president ultimately to save his own freedom does give Indicting Testimony of donald trump. The other is what about the other 18 codefendants in georgia . Those would be all republicans and are for their own defenses they all begin to say, donald trump ultimately did this. Or instructed us to do this. The final dynamic is an intriguing one, what happens if chesebro get a speedy trial and get acquitted. How does that change the dynamic for donald trump in the national conversation. Those are all unknowns today. The Special Grand Jury report from Fulton County is expected to drop friday. What can we potentially learn from that. Thats right, lindsay, and there was a Special Grand Jury before the grand jury convened. Parts of the report have been released. What were going to see is the part that recommended charges against individuals, and there may be people they recommended being charged who werent actually charged. Those people will have a chance to ask the judge to redact their names, and well watch to see when that happens, and well learn other interesting elements of the case, and the vote of the grand jury. How strongly those grand jurors believe this individual should be charged. Something to watch for next week, lindsay. Could this Special Grand Jury report give lawyers big clues when it comes to fani williss case . I dont think so, and i dont want to be a wet blanket, because i look forward to reading the underacketed report of the Special Grand Jury. I have a feeling most of what we see in there, we have already seen in District Attorney fani williss speaking indictment. There may be a couple of surprises as ken mentioned, maybe some names of people that we didnt see show up in the indictment. But i think its going to be a largely duplicative of what we already learned from the indictment. Glenn, another top lawmaker, congressman adam schiff is making the case that the 14th Amendment should disqualify trump from Holding Office. Lets listen to what he told my colleague, jen psaki. The 14th Amendment, section 3 is clear, if you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government or give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running. It doesnt require you be convicted of insurrection, it requires that you have engaged in these acts. Its a disqualification from Holding Office again, and it fits donald trump to a t. Is there a case to be made here . There certainly is, and these are cases that are going to end up in court. You know, legal scholars left and right are lining up behind the position, the interpretation of the constitution that donald trump is already disqualified by operation of section 3 of the 14th Amendment just as he would be disqualified if he was only 34 years old or not a natural born citizen. And, you know, the authors of that really detailed excellent Law Review Article say that all that is left to do is for the people who are in a position to either put somebodys name on a president ial ballot or decline put somebodys name on a president ial ballot, all they are left to do is follow the constitution, and decline to put Donald Trumps name on the ballot. Lindsay, that will undoubtedly inspire litigation. I think whether the name goes on the ballot or doesnt, its going to inspire litigation, and hen these challenges are going to be resolved in the courts. Congressman, weve got new nbc news reporting from my colleague, sahil kapur, that hes trying to change strategy and redraw his portrait, president biden, ahead of 2024. This is what he says, during their first showdown, donald trump disparaged joe biden as a sleepy guy in the basement of a house whos barely aware of his surroundings. Now facing four criminal indictments and gearing up for a rematch, the former president is changing course to depict his skes sor as a nefarious master mind whos pulling the strings of a complex Justice System without leaving any finger prints. Will voters buy it . Not if they spot the projection. We know about donald trump, usually when he makes an accusation, theres some truisms about his own behavior, and personality, but this narrative of the biden crime family, the words of republicans and fox news does hold tight within the republican constituency. I think the intriguing thing is neither one of those takes by donald trump approach policies, and thats where joe biden and democrats are in a favorable position this election cycle. They can talk about domestic policies that are lifting all americans in health care and education, the economy, industry, donald trump wants to wrangle over his own personal jeopardy issues and try to blame joe biden for the deep state. Joe bidens got a strong message on how hes helping americans, donald trump just on how hes trying to help himself. Our team on the ground talked to one republican who voted for trump twice, but isnt planning to this go around because of the charges. Listen. I think hes not the right person for the job anymore. I think he destroyed his chances. I thought he did a good job as president for the first three years. And what happened after the election i think hes wrong about. He may or may not have violated the law, but i think it would be dangerous to have him come back as president. This is one person, but we have heard several people in New Hampshire who have said several things. Is this sort of a microcosm of the New Hampshire vote right now . It may be New Hampshire. Its fascinating this disconnect, the qualitative, you read through the logical electoral conclusion, theres too much baggage for donald trump, and perhaps he should focus on his own legal jeopardy. The problem is thats a minority voter in todays republican party. Donald trump has over 50 of the party. When every other candidate on the debate stage, basically every other candidate raises their hand and says ill support donald trump as a criminal convict. How do i make the case that the voters shouldnt. That New Hampshire voter recognizing the moment but a majority of republicans have yet to recognize that.

Judge lee marsh sided with a Voting Rights group who challenged the republicans redistricting map saying it violates state and federal constitution by diminishing protections for black voters. The map will go back to the legislature to be redrawn in a way that complies with floridas laws. The ruling is widely expected to be appealed by the state likely putting the case before the florida Supreme Court. Joining us from miami is nbcs marissa parra, and former republican congressman from florida and msnbc political analyst, david jolly is back with us. This ruling centers around floridas fifth district. Were going to show you here on map, the blue sliver at the top of the old florida map carved up in the new desantis one. Where do things stand . Reporter certainly both sides here hoping to expedite this as quickly as possible in time for the 2024 election. Lets start with the district you just mentioned, district 5, at the center of the lawsuit, and at the center of the conclusion written by the judge that we were able to read this weekend. Last year, Governor Ron Desantis did something thats unprecedented for a governor. He redrew the map that previously existed. You see that on the screen there. He called a Special Session and used his veto power to make sure the map was implemented. The black representative in the district, his name is al lawson, his district was carved up. His constituents splintered across new districts that are historically right leaning areas. Lawson did not win reelection. He lost by 20 votes. What you have is where in this region we had Black Floridians that had previously had representation by people, by a person that they voted for. Theyre now represented by a white congressman instead. Voting groups sued saying this is a violation of federal and state Voting Rights protections that were specifically put in place for black floridian voters. Now, this morning we had a chance to speak with an organization that has been offering support for the plaintiffs in this case that we have been talking about. Take a listen for yourself. The thing that continues to get lost in these cases is that those voters deserve representation, and thats what specifically governor desantiss map took away from them, and thats what legislature admitted it took away from them, and so i think what were dealing with now is a reality in which a court system is stepping in to say this is unconstitutional against florida law. Reporter so, lindsay, what we saw here is this Circuit Court judge ended up ruling in favor of these Voting Rights groups on saturday. And they ordered that the state draw up a new map, but everyone of course trying to expedite what comes next in time for the 2024 elections, and this will be a key part of that, lindsay. Whats the reaction youre hearing to this ruling, marissa . Reporter yeah, so weve reached out to the different groups here. We have not heard from anyone in the Desantis Camp here. But we do expect them to appeal this. We expect the state to appeal this, and if they do, their deadline is today, this would then go to the state Supreme Court. The reaction is pretty much what you would expect by the Voting Rights group. Theyre celebrating what we heard on saturday as a win. However, keep in mind, this is far from over. We mentioned how the next step, if this does get appealed will go to the state Supreme Court, there are Conservative Desantis appointed judges on that court. This could swing back in the opposite direction. We mentioned that deadline to appeal is today. Remember, when we talk about the greater scope of this, the big picture, this is justice one fight of many fights happening, when it comes to redistricting. This is happening in southern states. This is happening in states like alabama, georgia. Georgia has a trial thats happening tomorrow. Big picture, we know that the House Of Representatives have a very narrow leave, so this could play a key role in the Balance Of Power coming up, lindsay. Marissa parra, thank you for the reporting. Really an unprecedented move, desantis interjected himself into the redistricting process by vetoing the republicandominated legislatures map asking for
