Atlanta with the new indictment against donald trump possibly coming out of georgia at any minute. Is a the deadline approaches in the January 6th Federal Case against the former president. It could give us a signal of where exactly that case is headed. The foiled Assassination Attempt on ukraines president. Had, but we learned about the plot and the russian woman allegedly at the center of it all. The ntsb investigating after two Firefighting Helicopters collided in california, killing three people. What went wrong here . Were following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. Its legal deadline day here in d. C. Former president trumps Defense Lawyers have a few more hours to respond to a Special Counsel filing. Prosecutors asked the court to place restrictions on what trump can do with aunt say about certain evidence in the election interference case. Trumps lawyer suppose it could have until 5 00 p. M. Eastern time to respond, but today, the client continues lashing out against the judge and the Special Counsel on social media. That, a key reason for the prosecutions request in the first place. So, is there a concern here that donald trump will share evidence that should not be shared publicly . Here is concerned there, yes, of course. Thats what the Justice Department is of anything in this filing, but the deadline today, its the first of many deadlines in the case, what had to be worked out is how this case moved to trial, how do prosecutors get to share information with the defense. They need to turn over this evidence, very typical in a criminal case. Very typical that they have some sort of framework around that evidence so that there isnt any Chilling Effect on witnesses that might testify in trial or anything that would spoil the trial for a jury, so the Justice Department wants the provision in place, and they are saying trumps team is standing in the way. They cant make an agreement, so they made a filing friday night, raising this idea that donald trump was putting things out on social media saying he was going to come after people and saying, asking the judge, we need to start moving on this so we can get them evidence and get to trial, so the judge came back very quickly, setting this deadline today, demanding a response from trumps team to try and get things moving so they can see evidence. That presumes the judge wants to make a quick decision on this and some rules. The judge and trumps other ongoing case right now, that in florida, the classified documents case. That judge, a trump appointee, is asking an interesting question thats getting a lot of reaction about whether a d. C. Grand jury can lead to an indictment in florida. Explain a concern with what the judges potential power is. This judge, she can ask for arguing the law on both sides, and that appears to be what shes doing right now. Shes a relatively new judge, and she is asking for something a lot of legal commentators would step back and say, this is typical. You can investigate anywhere where something took place but she is asking for is a little bit more legal explanation about why theres been Grand Jury Activity around the Obstruction Part of the mara lago documents probe in washington, d. C. And not just in the Southern District of florida, where she sits, where this case is charged. There is a deadline set on that, and its all coming together because there are bigger questions about whether a lawyer for one of the defendants charged in florida, whether hes able to keep representing other people who may be witnesses in that case. There are a lot of steps in a trial, particularly a trial like this one. In georgia, security is tightening around this atlanta courthouse. Starting today, a normally busy street in front of the courthouse is closed, as the Fulton County da is milling indictments of the 2020 in election of interference probe. It could be coming at anytime. Along with street closures, officials have set up Security Barriers outside of the courthouse, and the court is telling anyone with these court dates through august 18 to expect to make their appearance is virtually rather than in person. Cnns Nick Valencia is live outside the courthouse. I assume you are seeing a lot less than you normally would there, nick . Reporter a lot more in some cases. These barricades when youre a couple weeks ago when we were outside reporting, let me get out of the way to show you these ramped up security preparations. These metal barricades, they are new as of today that shut down prior street, that street in front of the courthouse. Its one of the roads closed around the Fulton County courthouse. They joined the plastic barricades, some of which i could am told are filled with water to make them harder to move. The street is open to foot traffic, but only media cars are allowed in and out of your. Part of the process and reason for these ramped up Security Operations have to do with the countless threats received by Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney fani willi s, and she started this investigation over a year ago. She has received countless threats, some of them credible, so much that she has spoken about it publicly and talked about how shes needed to make changes to her own personal security detail. Of course, the rhetoric from the former president has not helped things thatll. Called Fani Willis A racist. Hes referred to this investigation is politically motivated , and we saw one person last week parroting the former president , saying this was politically motivated. He was out here with a big trump flag and a bullhorn. Its one of the changes of scenes we have seen out here since this investigation started, and its one of several indications this sprawling investigation, which includes potentially conspiracy and racketeering charges, could be coming to an end theres also a letter thats been given by fani willis to local Law Enforcement agencies to prepare for the potential of indictment did you remember the special purpose grand jury which had subpoena power, they saw more than 75 witnesses and handed over there Charging Recommendations to willis back in february. Currently, there are two grand jury seeded here, and its one of those two grand jury thats going to be given those Charging Recommendations and evidence, and they will be tasked with Hearing Evidence against the former president as well as some of his republican allies. 24 jurors altogether on each of those juries plus to alternates. 16 will be needed for cuaron, and it will take 12 of them to be an agreement in order for an indictment to be handed down in which as we are reporting, could come any day. Less traffic, and way more security where you are. Nick valencia live in atlanta, thank you. What to look for in the coming days. Norm, as we watch for the a decision out of Fulton County in georgia, the Special Counsel took a certain approach to indicting the former president based on his activities, attempts to overturn the election. Based on what you know, questions asked, witnesses called, how do you expect the charges in Fulton County to differ from the ones the Special Counsel pursued . Jim, the Special Counsel has a Laser Light Focus on donald trump because he wants to get his case to trial, and he wants to do that fast so that voters can be informed about the nature of the leading contender for one of our Major Political parties to take an office to defend a democracy that hes alleged to have attacked. Fani willis will probably let the Special Counsel vote first, so she has the luxury of charging multiple defendants, all indications are that shes going to do that with reports that the special grand jury recommended charges against over a dozen, and its good to have that Broad Perspective from another prosecutor. Something else she is likely to do, focus on georgia. Jack smith had a National Focus , one nationwide defendants, so im expecting a broader case and want focusing on the state of georgia. Listen, there are a lot of steps to these, but when we look to the Special Counsels case at this point, the filing Defense Lawyers have to respond to today deals with how do you protect, against the former president from revealing in his Public Comments and social media posts , evidence that is shared from the prosecution of the defense in what is called discovery, some of which is sensitive in this case . What does the judge consider with a decision like this, and what is a judges power to keep that kind of evidence from getting out there . Jim, the judge does have broad powers to do what we call a protective order that limits distribution of the evidence. She balances the First Amendment rights and the need of the defendant to participate in the investigation of the case. With harms that could upset the administration of justice and the administration of this trial. For example, if donald trump get a document with witnesses and then is going to be publicly threatening those witnesses, that could interfere with the trials, so those are the kinds of balancing of rights, and its routine to protect this kind of information. She is surely going to do that. Let me ask you a question here because this is a former president who, while president and since he has been president , does not always follow norms, right, as we know. There is a possibility that he out right divides the judges order on Something Like this, and he lets it play out in court. Im going to pursue this in court and go to supreme court. What actual power does a judge have . Has that possibility been considered, and what do you do about it . Part of the reason you have an order and you give notice to the parties is because the judge can impose penalties that stems both from the order and the conditions of release. Youll remember that the Magistrate Judge conditioned Donald Trumps continued release on meeting standards of good behavior, such as not threatening or intimidating or talking to witnesses about the case. The court to have broad powers. If trump can appeal the order, not every order is appealable, but if he defied the order and continues to follow it, jim, he can face sanctions, and in the extreme cases where there is repeated violations or serious violations that can include suspension of release or incarceration as a penalty for contempt of an order.

Com officials in ukraine say they have thwarted an attempt to assassinate president zelenskyy pd Ukrainian Security service says it has attained a woman who is a russian informant in connection with the alleged plot. This, as both ukraine and russia are reporting heavy clashes along the front lines in southern ukraine with, as weve heard from some time now, little territory won or lost. Ukrainian efforts to take a village have yet to bear fruit after weeks of deadly fighting. Our reporter in the upper region, ukraine. Nick, i want to ask about this alleged Assassination Plot against zelenskyy. How seriously are ukrainian officials taking it . Reporter f the russians have a chance to kill him, they would they take precautions to protect him. We dont know how advance, this frankly has gotten really know about what the Security Services have told us. This involves the apparent informant for russia who worked in as military Surplus Store not far from crimea and not far from mykolaiv, the key southern port city, which is zelenskyy was supposed to be visiting as part of this plot and some the messages Ukrainian Security services have released suggest she was contacted and they said, can you take pictures of the hospital he might go to . Any more information about the timing. So since then, she has been arrested. That visit has already occurred, so by definition, this will by itself may not have been a successful plot, but its a reminder of the persistent threats against zelenskyy and also of the work for the Ukrainian Security services to indict russian informants across ukraine. Were watching video of zelenskyy touring forces, and you can see the wasnt supplied weapons like the storm missile. American volunteers have been fighting on the american side for some time, some of them giving their lives in that fight, and we learned of several more in the last several days. What do we know . Reporter indeed. Three americans have lost their lives it appears in the last week or so. Were hearing details about some of them now. Jeffrey, aged 48, one of those three. He is from maine. Grew up in maine. Said by his family in a Written Statement to have been killed in a Mortar Shell Explosion july 31, and they think you want to ukraine specifically to help children there. Felt he wanted to return in april 2023 working as a volunteer medic. We are also hearing of the loss of andrew weber from washington state, and indeed, he also his family talked about his incredible compassion, friendships, his wit. Clearly, one of the multiple americans here who put themselves at great Risk Fighting for the principal, frankly, of ukraines freedom and against naked aggression of russians invasion, so we continue to hear these stories of intense sacrifice, americans coming to a place many of them may not have been to before to put themselves on the line, often with fatal, tragic consequences. Jim . I met a lot of them face
