By former lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Paula reid has more. Reporter Special Counsel jack smith is now in possession of thousands of documents that were created by Rudy Giulianis team in the days and weeks following the 2020 election. This team was tasked with trying to find some evidence of fraud. One of the people on this team is the former new York Police Commissioner Bernie Kerrik. He is a close associate of Rudy Giuliani and he has been in possession of a lot of these documents, the january 6 committee was trying to get all these materials, but he would not hand them over even though he is not a lawyer, he claimed that he was working for the legal team and therefore they were privileged. But in recent weeks, the Special Counsel investigators have reached out to kerrik to schedule an interview and also to collect evidence and after they reached out, kerrik went to the Trump Campaign, had them review the materials and Trump Campaign were told said look, they were not going to argue privilege over this, which suggests that they believe there is not anything too incriminating in the documents. But now that the Special Counsel investigators have these, this is something that no other investigator has been able to obtain, so this is the first time well be able to see the materials and it could be some key evidence in their ongoing investigation. Now, kerrik has also scheduled an interview for early august where he will sit down with investigators and face questions, some of which they have likely already written and there will be new ones based on the documents he has just handed over. Experts from the Atomic Energy agency now confirming claims by ukraine that personnel mines have been placed at the zaporizhzhia power plant. Salma abdelaziz is following the story for us from london. Ukraine has been urging the west to pressure russia to pull its military out of that Nuclear Power plant. The discovery of these mines change the situation at all . Reporter very unlikely that it does, but of course It Isit Stakes around a power plant that sits quite literally on those fron frontlines. Is this this is a sight of contention, ieae confirming that there are antipersonnel mines in the vicinity of the zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power plant. Saying that they are clearly marked, that they are in restricted zones and they are facing away from the employees who run that Nuclear Power plant. But of course the iaea describing it as contrary to its standards. It might seem like rather muted language, but you have to remember throughout the conflict the ieae chief has had a very difficult task, hes had to negotiate between russia and ukraine in an attempt to try to create a safe zone around the power plant. That has not happened. Yet there are of course iae aechlt i a officials on site who continue to maintain the situation. But power has been cut off at times due to shelling shutting down the Nuclear Reactors where very much a flash point has occurred time and time again. So were not speaking about an immediate threat right now with this Nuclear Power plant, but we are talking about the stakes just getting that much higher. When were talking again about the safety of a nuclear site. Absolutely. Salma, thank you so much. To israel now, demonstrations have eased somewhat against the governments judicial overhaul plan, but it doesnt mean the protestors have given up. Demonstrators blocked a highway and police used foul smelling socalled skunk water against the protesters. Elliott gotkine is live for us. And the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a televised address to the nation last night trying to calm the protests, but also blamed the opposition for refusing to compromise. How is that being received . Reporter i suppose as well as you would have expected given any attempts at compromise being broken by hertzog fell short and the opposition blames the government, the government blames the opposition. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Coalition Allies saying what they have done is specifically democratic because they won the elections and therefore they are carrying out the will of the people. The opposition says otherwise. But any attempt to negotiate any plans for overhaul were met with a swift rejection. And he said it was an empty show and that netanyahu was beholden to the extremist elements of his party. The next real battle probably will be at the Supreme Court itself because it has already received a number of petitions from various groups including other parties but also ngos and the like calling for the Supreme Court to in the very least delay implementation of this Reasonableness Bill with the hope of actually getting it scrapped. And you have this kind of ironic situation now where the Supreme Court has effectively been asked to block a law that it designed to prevent the Supreme Court from blocking certain decisions an appointments. So we could be heading for some kind of a constitutional showdown. But likely where the next battle will be. Elliott gotkine, thank you. And the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against texas and Governor Abbott after he refused to removes floating barrier in the rio grand river. The doj says texas is violating federal law. This is in the midst of increasing scrutiny on the states treatment of migrants as they try to cross the river into the u. S. Rosa flores has more. Reporter we are at the south end of our property.

Reporter but she says the state of texas installed concertina wear blocking her accent to her own property by barricadings the gates. Now it looks like a warzone. Reporter historically a popular crossing because the water levels of the rio grand are low and most recently texas deployed a floating Border Barrier without obtaining permits from the federal government says the state department. The buoys are 4 feet in diameter and anchored to the bottom of the rio grand. It surprised knee they just did it if front of me property. Reporter and this is the busiest sector on the southern border. After a top diplomat complained about the buoys violating two treaties and more than 80 u. S. Democratic lawmakers urged President Biden to take legal action against texas it is barbaric treatment. Reporter the Justice Department did just that. Did they deny you water . This as two pregnant migrants who did not wish to show their faces say they were initially denied water as they tried to turn themselves into u. S. Immigration authorities. She said that the National Guard at first denied her water and then afterwards they did give them water but it was one bottle for two to three people. Law enforcement in air boats circled them knocking them over after showing them handcuffs for requesting water the other migrant said. The texas National Guard did not respond to cnns request for comment. These accounts come after a Texas Dps Trooper blew the whistle last week saying texas had been treating migrants inhumanely when troopers were ordered back to push them back in to the river.

Special counsel jack smiths team is interviewing witnesses about a particular Oval Office Meeting and what then President Trump said at this 2020 meeting may shed light on his beliefs at the time about the true likelihood of election fraud. Reporter Special Counsel jack smiths office has asked multiple u. S. Officials about a February 2020 Election Security briefing in which u. S. Officials told President Trump about the ways in which they are preparing to secure the 2020 election. The spks Office Appears to be interested in the mindset that President Trump had at the time of the briefing when he fac factual information that for the Election Security. This is a stark contrast to trumps public rhetoric just weeks later when he questioned validity of the elections and inte integrity of allegations. And lets bring in criminal defense attorney lexie rigden. That particular meeting in February Of 2020 when the president was presented with factual information about all the ways that they would have a secure election, he even bt with aed to sort of tout that to the media about how his administration was doing such a great job on Election Security. What do you make of the Special Counsel zeroing in on that meeting . Well, it just shows how sweeping this investigation is, that they are essentially leaving no stone unturned, that they are looking in to a meeting that had occurred nearly a year prior to the january 6, 2021 incident. And so this has been a very thorough investigation and what is interesting is that as this continues to come out, the conventional wisdom is because trump Fwots Got The Target Lett pretty recently, there could be an indictment soon forthcoming. But this shows that they are continuing the investigation and even if they do end up indicting him this week, which seems to be the expectation, their investigation seems to be far from over because they are still gathering additional information. If you are trumps defense team here, couldnt you argue that trumps views on Election Security changed over time . February 2020 is a lot different, you know, than november 2020. And people change their minds all the time. That is right. And if you were defending him, id say not only did his opinion change, and obviously his opinion has long changed prior to november 2020. He started saying in i think April Of 2020 only a couple months after this meeting that he was questioning the security of the elections and the mailin ballots. So that is exactly what i would say if i was on his team, that i was allowed to change my mind and i did so far in advance of the election. And weve also learned that the Special Counsel team has received thousands of documents from Rudy Giulianis ally former nypd Police Commissioner better any kerrik. In their unfounded allegations of fraud, tell me the timing of this how it indicatesbetterany. In their unfounded allegations of fraud, tell me the timing of this how it indicates the status of the investigation. Conventional wisdom is that he will be indicted soon because he received that Target Letter and had a four day window to appear. And that was last week. And so people have been saying that the expectation was that he was going to be indicted either last week or this week. But potentially it could mean, and we obviously dont know the intricacies of the investigation, but it could mean that they are not as close to indicting him as we believe. So remains to be seen. Expect the unexpected in anything that has to do with the trump indictments. And there are multiple investigations going on. Could the evidence being gathered by the Special Counsels office be used in possible state level cases like the Georgia Election interference investigation . Hat is definitely a possibility and that see like to be the next thing that is going to be coming up wherhe is potentially indicted for alleged election intfence in georgia. And so these entities may also be working together and i believe that the Bernie Kerrik documents which were originally claimed to be privileged and not provided to the january 6 committee actually came out in the context of a georgia lawsuit with some election workers. And then there was ultimately no objection to them being turned over at this point. So they are likely sharing any information that they can get their hands on. Lexie, so nice to see you. Thank you very much. Newly released the 911 Audio Recordings show the Unarmed Black Man attacked by a police k9 in ohio, the truck driver was trying to pull over but was scared to do so.
