For the very latest, were joined tonight by telephone by charles briquette, the mayor of surfside, florida. Joining us by telephone, because the weather has turned so suddenly severe, we cant get a tv signal out of there, which also means think of the underground rescue effort and how that will be slowed down and hampered by rainfall. Mr. Mayor, ive been watching you on television all day. I think were pretty close to the same age. When i woke up this morning, saw the pictures in your town, i thought of the Marine Barracks bombing. I thought of oklahoma city. And then ive seen your comment all day long. Buildings dont fall down like this in america. Obviously theres that investigation, but update us tonight on the se
A big moment unfolding this hour. Donald trumps legal team in front of the judge presiding over the 2020 election case for the first time. Whats shes going to say about how much evidence will be talked about in public. And will she give any indication on when this trial is going to kick off. Maui being described as an apocalyptic devastation from the wildfire. Some residents say they had no warning that it was time to get out. I sat up on top of the roof, and i battled the fire for about three hours. I couldnt do it anymore. And then i said, i have to move. And then i ran to the ocean. I gave in. So you literally saved yourself by jumping into the ocean . Yes. When you turned around and looked back, whatd you see . Devastation, everything gone. Moments ago, former president Donald Trumps lawyers arrived to Federal Court in washington. Its a big day for them and for the Special Counsel as this is the first hearing in the 2020 Election Subversion Case against trump, and the first time th
The first one is Conspiracy To Defraud the United States. Second is the conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. And then the conspiracy against rights. Thats, of course, the Voting Rights of u. S. Citizens around the country. Now, ill read you just a part where the Special Counsel describes what theormer president is accused of dog here. It says that the defendant spread lies, that there had been outcome determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won. These claims were false. And the defendant knew that they were false. But the defendant repeated and widely disseminated them anyway to make his knowingly false claims appear legitimate. According to the prosecutors, wolf, the former president disregarded the advice of all of his appointed officials, people inside his own government, his experts, people from the Justice Department, people from the intelligence community, people from the Homeland Security department, all of whom were telling him that there was no s
Exposed in the depths of his political depraft at this and corrupt and criminal acts has been laid bare. Not by radical leftists, or any of us in the media but by his inner most circle and the really, really committed ones as that. The Trump Officials who stayed on until the bitter last days of a bitter presidency tell us the riveting story of not one, not two but three Criminal Conspiracies that trump stands accused of by the United States government, in essence against the United States government. By the numbers jack smith has charged three Criminal Conspiracies, four criminal counts, named six Unindicted Coconspirators and shined the light on one who was willing to overturn his election defeat. The indictment brought by jack smith against donald trump makes the coup plot he directed Crystal Clear for the world to see. Here is how the Justice Department explains the first criminal count as the conspiracy to defraud the u. S. Quote, the purpose of the conspiracy was to overturn the l
For first time in this countrys history a former president of the United States has been charged with felonies committed while he was president. This one is about the threat to our democracy. Targeted, obstructing a Bedrock Function of the u. S. Government. The government has had three years to investigate this and now they want to rush this to trial in the middle of political season. What does that tell you . He oversaw or directed the activity of those involved supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our constitution and protect our constitution. This indictment goes to the heart of our democracy. Behind the scenes hes very angry, much more rattled than hes projecting. Politically motivated and election interference at its finest. We need to recognize that he needs to be held accountable. Donald trump failed the country and put his own interests over those of the United States. As you can see theres so much to get to this morning, were glad youre with us on cnn
