President biden and the first lady will travel to the maui disaster zone monday, as the death toll passed 100 people. Recovery crews bringing in more highly trained dogs to help in the search for victims. How daunting is it . Its the worst thing i have ever seen. This is apocalyptic. Its terrible. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell In Washington. We are on defendant watch today as president s trump and his 18 codefendants in georgia have nine days to surrender to the Fulton County jail for fingerprinting and processing in advance of a separate arraignment to be scheduled before a judge. They will enter their pleas. One of the most prominent of the former officials charged, mark meadows, has petitioned to have his case moved to Federal Court where d. A. Willis would still try the case, but meadows would more likely have a much more favorable jury pool from all of Northern Georgia, not just Fulton County, and there would not be cameras in the courtroom. Meadows argument expected to b
As we speak, Search And Rescue workers trying to find 1,300 people still unaccounted for. The governor saying the vast majority of victims that have already been found were burned so badly theyll have to be identified through dna. The latest on the search and the president s plan to head to hawaii coming up. And the really sick trend of Swatting Synagogue Ss fueling new fears among jewish congregations. Threatening calls are made during services being live streamed so the suspects can watch crimes unfold at realtime. All this with antisemitic incidents at their highest level in decades. But we start with donald trump, legally bound to surrender to authorities at the Fulton County jail in atlanta sometime between now and next friday at noon.

Theres one more fascinating possibility, could he
Who investigated President Bidens mishandling of classified documents, a man named robert hur is grilled by House Members on the capitol. Concluding nothing President Biden did was worthy of prosecution, but that did not stop republicans in congress from making a fourhour circus out of mr. Hurs testimony today. Thats because todays hearing wasnt actually about matters of law. It was about scoring political points. The only reason Joe Biden Accidently taking classified documents with him when he left office, and the only reason that matters at all is because donald trump woefully, willfully, purposely took documents with him when he left office and then tried to obstruct justice to cover it o all up.

What theyre doing now is likely expected a not guilty plea where he will formally tell the court he has notice of all the charges against him, and they will set some date in the future in terms of when he will have to either have discovery provided to him, there likely is not going to be a Motion Schedule for the things that you would argue about what would come into evidence, thats going to be longer down the road. But the notion of a rap sheet is so significant with these different indictments, particularly because of this reason normally if somebody has charges against them, trials in the same vicinity, youre talking about maybe if they are convicted theyre going to run concurrent sentences, meaning this one will run on top of the other and the other.
