good morning to viewers here in the u.s. and around the world, it is tuesday, september 6th and i m brianna keilar with john berman. in california, this morning, the state is bracing for rolling power outages as a brutal heat wave is expected to shatter the record for power demand. temperature in parts of the state hitting 115 degrees with no end in sight. not ideal conditions, obviously, for fighting wildfires. evacuations are now under way in riverside county where the fairview fire has killed two people and scorched 2,000 acres. yeah. in the northeast, though, a much different threat. flood watches are now in effect for more than 50 million people across 11 states. virginia to maine. some areas could see 7 inches of rain by this afternoon which is not good news for people in providence, rhode island. where heavy rains and flash floods closed i-95 in both directions yesterday afternoon. we re going to have much more on this ahead. this morning, officials in memphi ....
The d.a. s office with a filing with the court, saying removing the meadows case from georgia would be per verse as this arises from interference of state operations, and seeks to vindicate our next guest signed on to the brief, former deputy attorney general under george h.w. bush, donald aier, who is with us. boil it down for us non-lawyers, why does this matter, whether it s state or federal court, and why do you think he should be tried in state court? well, the norm at process is a federal case is tried in federal court or handled in federal court. a state case goes forward in a state court. this is a special provision that s been around for almost a couple hundred years now that allows the purpose is to protect the functioning of the ....

So those are two answers to that point. remember, though, on top of all of that, in order to remove this case, there has to be a plausible federal law defense being advanced. that isn t even seriously being talked about. the only thing that s really been put forward on that is the crazy idea that donald trump has made and argued really throughout his entire administration and now that, because he was president, essentially he s absolutely immune from being challenged to anything he does. that s a silly and foolish argument, too. so i think he probably clearly loses on both parts. interesting interesting points you make that are really informative and to your point, the d.a. arguing the hatch act in court. donald, great to have you. thank you for taking us through that. thanks for having me. ....
Donald trump s request to appoint a special mast tore review materials that the fbi seized from mar-a-lago last month. trump s legal team and the department of justice have until friday to negotiate the special master s duties and limitations and submit a list to serve. joining us now is former deputy attorney general under president george bush donald aier. i know you don t agree with this decision, what did you think of the ruling? well, i think the easiest way to kind of describe it in general terms is that it s a ruling that resolves every doubt in favor of donald trump. and completely ignores critical facts that support the government s position. i would say it s really an unprecedented ruling in the context of a search warrant and review of a search warrant ....
