He is accused of trying to undo the 2020 president ial election results. Our dc correspondent Alexandra Limon joins us now live with the latest. Good morning, alex. James, good morning. Trump is expected to plead not guilty later this afternoon in court to those extraordinary charges that say he defrauded the United States by illegally trying to cling to power. We have never had a situation where a sitting president is accused of plotting basically the overthrow of democracy itself. Thursday, former President Donald Trump will appear in federal court in a historic case. Facing charges for what legal experts say is the most important criminal case in u. S. History. This indictment is a conspiracy not just a lie, but 2 develop a whole slate of electors to change the outcome of a democratic George Washington law professor paul schiff, berman says the 45 page indictment lays out a clear case against trump but trumps legal team says the former president was only following the advice of legal advisors. And trump allies like senator Tommy Tuberville say the charges are a political interference with the upcoming election. I think the American People really get sadly, the president was surrounded by a group of crackpot lawyers that kept telling him what is it years wanted to hear trumps former vp and now president ial rival mike pence in jumping to trumps defense. I want the American People to know that i had no right to overturn the election. And then on that day, President Trump asked me to put him over the constitution, but i chose the constitution. Now again, trump denies all wrongdoing and in order to win this case, the prosecution is going to have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that trump knew he lost the election but still part took in that plot to remain in office live in washington. Alexandra limon, thank you, alex. And a kron 4 is going to have complete uninterrupted coverage of former President Trumps arraignment today. Our Catherine Heenan will be joined by our political experts as President Trump appears in federal court and that all starts right here on kron. 4 at 12, 30. Well, heres something interesting. Governor gavin newsom has sent Florida Governor and gop president ial hopeful ron desantis, a formal offer to take part in a debate this fall. It all comes as the 2 have had public feuds and traded insults about the other and the way that each has run their respective states. In a statement, newsom spokesperson said, quote, Governor Newsom has been challenging desantis to debate for months and sent him a formal debate offer last week. Desantis should put up or shut up. Anything else is just games and quote, now last night during a conversation with conservative political commentator sean hannity, desantis said that he is quote, absolutely game to debate newsom. But did not elaborate on a specific date or a time. Desantis later wrote this on twitter. Quote, the debate between california and florida is already over. People have been voting with their feet for years. But the debate about the future of our country is one we need to have. Im game to talk about my plans to reverse the decline in this country anytime, anywhere. Because i have the best vision for the future of our country. Then quote, now it remains unclear whether such a debate would take place or how the ground rules would work. Well let you know if comes to fruition. 6, o it is a time right now in the east bay. Expect to see a bigger presence of chp in oakland. The governor says the state is going to send in the chp. To help deal with the Violent Crime similar to what they did in San Francisco.

Uptick is a mild statements understand that year and the concern that people are feeling. And the desire to not to feel our job is to make sure that people not only feel safer, the actually are safer in their neighborhoods in effort to help the city address the spike in crime. Governor gavin newsom is sending california Highway Patrol officers to help Oakland Police respond to vehicle thefts, sideshows, highway violence and organized crimes. Oakland city Councilmember Dan kalb says in years past when the city has requested backup from chp, they have found sometimes chp will take over some of traffic and transportation related duties and that freeing up the opd officers to do the serious crime working 911, whatever that whatever i think its fine. I mean, you know, were a little short staffed. So i think if a chp can help us. All the better the governor has already sent chp into San Francisco to crack down on open air drug dealing. Newsom says within 6 weeks chp officers seized enough fentanyl to potentially kill the city nearly 3 times over the governor hopes to see the same success in oakland. But not everyone is thrilled to have chp patrolling the streets. The cofounder of the Anti Police Terror project. Cat brooks released a statement saying in part Governor Newsoms decision to send california Highway Patrol to oakland is not rooted in effective violence prevention policies or data, but rather is a lazy attempt to suggest action while endangering the people of oakland. The chp will work with Oakland Police to see where patrols are most needed. Its unclear when chp will start. But the Mayors Office is expected to release more information on thursday.
