Yeah. Therell be lots of news this well. Lets start with five things to know. This morning, twiceindicted former President Trump is bracing for potentially more charges, but its not hurting his polling. Look at this. A New York Times siena poll shows him with a dominating lead. 54 of likely Republican Voters picking trump. And a maralago Maintenance Work set to appear in court. Carlos de la vera is reported to tell another Maintenance Work that trump wanted the Security Footage deleted. Were learning that trumps Leadership Pac spent 40 million on legal fees since start of the year. An american nurse and her child kidnapped in haiti. They were abducted from the campus of a christian humanitarian organization. Now the state Department Says theyre in touch with the haitian authorities. And that Summertime Sickness may be more than just a cold. Health officials are seeing signs of a new covid surge. Cnn this morning starts right now. Well start this morning with that Property Manager, who allegedly said, quote, the boss wanted the Video Surveillance servers deleted at maralago. He will be in a miami courtroom. Carlos deoliveira is the third person indicted including walt nada. Prosecutors say that de oliverra asked a different employee, what are we going to do about the boss request to delete the footage. This comes as we wait for more charges against the president. The Special Counsels office gets ready to meet with a key witness in the fake electorate scheme. And then theres georgia, where new Security Barriers are up now outside of the Fulton County courthouse, as the District Attorney there confirms that by september 1st, she will decide whether to charge anyone for the efforts by trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election there. The work is accomplished. Weve been worng for two and a half years. Were ready to go. So exactly what doeth mean . What will happen . Will all of this impact the former president s poll numbers. This New York TimesSiena College poll shows 54 of likely Republican Voters say hes their pick. Weve got this story covered from every angle, from miami tlto atlanta to here in new york. Lets start with randi kaye, outside of that miami courthouse where we are expecting to see the maralago Property Manager in a few hours for his arraignment. What can we expect today . Good morning to both of you. Its another courtroom and another codefendant as this federal case against the former president continues to grow. We are expecting the Property Manager, Carlos De Oliverra to appear in court to face the charges against him, conspiracy to obstruct justice, making false statements, and two counts of destroying an object, all of this as the former president denies doing anything wrong. Reporter donald trump slamming the special prosecutors team. These are crooked people. Reporter as he learns of new legal threats he and his employees may face. Newly named codefendant maralago Property Manager, Carlos De Oliverra is set to be arraigned today in miami. He and walt nada attempted to release Security Footage after the Justice Department issued a subpoena for it. He told one of the i. T. Workers that the boss wanted the server deleted. Cnn has now learned that i. T. Worker has received a Target Letter from federal prosecutors. Taveras reportedly met with investigators after trumps first indictment in june. Its unclear if hes cooperating with the investigation, but sources say some of the new allegations against trump were based at least in part on Information Taveras provided. Trump facing additional charnge for mishandling classified documents maintained his innocence on social media, saying his legal team voluntarily handed over the tapes to the skppecial counsel. Day oliveira is also accused of moving documents from trumps room to a storage room. This is bad stuff. The superseding indictment giving trumps Opponent Answer Opportunity to go after the frontrunner. Its pretty brazen. These guys were acting like the corleones with no experience. Reporter other candidates treading more cautiously over the indictment, as trump remains popular with the gop base. None of us want to be talking about indictments. I dont even know if its the third, fourth, or fifth indictment right now, but its a distraction. Reporter most use the issue to steer the conversation to the future. One of the right ways to do that is to pardon the former president of the United States from what is clearly a politicized prosecution. Reporter even trumps top rival, Florida Governor ron des desantis wary of engaging. I want to less time litigating that and more time focusing on the future in terms of what we need to accomplish as country. At a gop party dinner in iowa, direct criticism of Trump Drew Rebuke from the office. Donald trump is running to stay out of prison. And if we elect [ Audience Booing ] i know listen, i know the truth. The truth is hard. Reporter closing out the dinner, trump steered clear of the new charges against him. If i werent running, i would have nobody coming after me. And Carlos De Oliveira is expected to appear in court here this morning with his lawyer, john irving, a washington, d. C. Based attorney. We have also been able to confirm that that law firm was paid nearly 200,000 in 2022 by trumps super pac, save america. Back to you. Thank you for the reporting. New overnight, cnn has learned that another employee from maralago received a Target Letter from the superseding indictment includes Detailed Corresndts between Carlos De Oliveira and someoeferred to throughout the indictment as Employee Number four. He told employee four that the boss wanted the rv deleted. Employee number four said that he did not know how to do at and he did not believe that he would have the right to do so. De oliveira insisted to employee four that the pboss wanted the server deleted and what was he going to do about it. Now we know who Employee Number four is. They are lucille taveras, and we know he received a Target Letter from federal prosecutors after trump was first indicted in june. Kara scannel is here with more. It to be clear with our viewers, its not a new Target Letter he got on friday or something, its been there. The question is, what does it mean . Does it mean hell be charged or a fact witness, that hes going to flip . What do we know . We dont exactly know the answer to that question just yet. He received this Target Letter after trump was indicted the first time. And we also know after he got that Target Letter, he changed attorneys. So it is possible that that makes a difference here of why he was not indicted alongsideday oliveira, but its something we just dont know. But obviously he is at the center of these allegations here and they chose not to indict him at this time. But someone who was engaged in what the prosecutors say was this allegedly obstructive conduct, who there is no evidence that any Surveillance Tapes were deleted. So whatever he did with that information, nothing was ultimately deleted, but someone who is an important person here, someone who can potentially be a witness if this goes to trial. As an outsider thats watching this from afar, you are our legal expert and you know all the things, so if this is a dumb question, i apologize. Im trying to piece together the timeline. The first indictment comes, then the Target Letter to lucille taveras, the superseding indictment has new information in it, taveras has not been charged. Taveras has changed lawyers to lawyer that is not being paid by trumps super pac, by my understanding. Im just trying to connect dots here. I know youre saying that we dont have specific information of cooperation, but doesnt this seem to look like he may be cooperating . Yeah, that is what you expect to play out for someone who is cooperating, because he doesnt get charged in the superseding indictment, where there is an opportunity, i mean, they were char charging de oliveira, using the name Employee Number four. Theyre not going to identify someone who theyre not going to charge with a crime and they dont call this person a coconspirator or an unindicted coconspirator, theyre choosing to name him as an employee, so that would signal that hes unlikely to be charged. But with all of this, we dont know until it happens. And david schoen, last week on friday, who is trumps second lawyer in the Impeachment Hearing said so much rest on the credibility of Employee Number four in this. And so now we know the name. We didnt know that. So this is where Defense Counsel will really focus in, too, in making their counterargument, however this goes. What about bernard kerik, hes going to speak with the Special Counsel in a few days. He was part of turning over a lot of those documents we talked about last week, from conversations that he had had. Was a big ally of trump. Why does this matter . Bernard kerik was working for rudy giuliani, who at the time was trumps attorney and kind of the quarterback for all of these efforts to dig into allegations of fraud in the election. So he was essentially giulianis investigator. And the reason why he will go in is because they want to know what exactly he was following up on and looking into. And you know, his attorney was on cnn yesterday, and you know, he was saying that would be, you know, idiotic for the Special Counsel to bring charges before speaking with bernie kerik, but that is because their argument is that he was, you know, running down all of these legitimate concerns or questions, and so, obviously, this wasnt a corrupt intent. But, you know, the counternarrative to this is that none of these Election Fraud claims were legitimate. The courts were throwing them out. There were affidavits by people that just were never substantiated. But you know, hes one of these witnesses that he was involved in theis effort, hes someone that smiths team would want to talk to, to want to understand exactly what conversations he had. Obviously, he turned over those documents. They already spoke with rudy giuliani. But, you know, as this investigation, if anything, weve seen it, it is so expansive. And theyre almost leaving no stone unturned, talking to nearly everybody. That interview, his lawyer said, is in the next week, but smiths team can operate on their own schedule. They dont have to wait to talk to him. Hes not the centerpiece of this investigation in order for them to decide when and if theyre going to prbring charges. Theres a lot we dont know, but you know most of the things. Kara scannel, thank you. Now over to georgia, where fanny willis saying shes expecting to announce charges documents by december 1st. Cnns sara murray fresh off of her onehour documentary on this very topic that aired Last Night Live In Atlanta outside Fulton County courthouse. Murray, whats your sense of things . Youve covered this so closely. Whats your sense of things in terms of timeline, when this actually may happen . Reporter well, good morning, p phil. I still think that we are in the weeksaway window rather than the daysaway window. But its very clear that preparations ramping up. You can see behind me that barricades are already starting to go up around the Fulton County courthouse. Today is the day when much willis team is going to begin to work remotely. Another Security Precaution that theyre taking. And our local affiliate, wxia caught up with willis at a backtoschool event over the weekend, where she was very clear that the brunt of her work on this case is already done, and that people may not be super thrilled with the upcoming Charging Announcements that she has to make. Take a listen. Some people may not be happy with the decisions that im making. And sometimes when people are unhappy, they act in a way that could create harm. The work is accomplished. Weve been working for two and a half years. Were ready to go. Reporter obviously, theyre concerned with people that may be unhappy with whatever these charges decisions thats precipitating this enhanced security, and i anticipate seeing a whole lot more of this in the coming weeks, guys. Maybe its just me, but i was surprised to hear the candor there. She didnt lay out whats going to happen, but what she said, especially in the latter part of the sound you played is a bit surprising. Were in that window now between now and september 1st, when she said a Charge Decision will be made. Any sense of what week . How soon, how close to september or more like august . Yeah, i mean, one thing about that interview is shes not saying whether anyone actually is going to face charges. Obviously, we expect shes going to seek indictments, but well see. I still think that we are probably a week or two away from her making whatever these announcements are. Theres a hearing in this case on august 10th, that has to do with some of the trump legal teams arguments to disqualify fanny willis from the case and throw out a lot of the evidence that shes collected. Frankly, i would be surprised if she decided to press ahead with an indictment before that hearing. Of course, shes the District Attorney, its up to her discretion. But im betting we still have a teeny bit of wiggle room and well see a lot more security between now and when that announcement actually comes, guys.
