We know theyre still in there. Its after 5 00 right now. Paula, walk us through what happens if the grand jury decides to indict donald trump and or any of his allies. Reporter we expect the indictment also be for over a dozen people. The former president s lawyers say they do expect he will be among those indicted. We would expect the District Attorney would seek an indictment from the grand jury and it would go to the Clerks Office where we will most likely get our copy. Then it will be made public and well be able to read about the charges. One of the things thats unclear, jake, is when the former president would appear for his initial appearance and a potential arraignment. In the federal cases that happened quickly. Down in georgia, sources telling cnn that the former president s team expects it may take a little longer to have his first appearance down in georgia if hes indicted. Paula reid, thanks so much. As those witnesses continue to testify before the grand jury in atlanta, donald trump is expecting he could be indicted at any moment. Cnns Alayna Treene joins us. How is trumps team preparing for this latest indictment . Reporter jake, they have a playbook now. Theyve had to respond to three previous indictments, and theyre planning to use the same playbook with this potential indictment. They are lining up surrogates and allies, having them ready to respond to potential charges if they are filed. Theyve also spoken to conservative media and had them write pre written statements. Theyre preparing a response ahead of time for when or if an indictment in georgia does come. Im also told that Donald Trumps team does expect that a potential arraignment, if he is indicted, would be in person. That he would have to show up in person in georgia and appear before the court. Of course, thats an early guess from his team, from what they tell me. Thats what theyre anticipating at this time, jake. Alayna treene, thanks so much. I want to bring in tom dupree, the former assistant Attorney General under president george w. Bush. We heard trumps team is expecting an indictment imminently. I know this is all speculation, but informed speculation. What kind of charges are you expecting . I think these are going to be broad charges. My strong suspicion is that fani willis will indict many witnesses. The other claim she might bring which im keeping an eye on is a rico charge. Explain what that is. Thats usually for gangsters. Exactly. Rico is a federal and state statute. What it basically does is allows prosecutors applying to a variety of situations. My strong hunch is they are looking seriously as bringing a ricotype complaint against President Trump and his advisers for a conspiracy involving the election. We know donald trump leaned on Secretary Of StateBrad Raffensperger to find the correct number of votes, to flip it. We know the prosecutor has evidence tieing the Trump Legal Team to a breach of the Election Machines in a republican county. We know that there was a slate of fake electors that was submitted and not accepted. We know Rudy Giuliani went down there and met with legislators to talk about these wild and outlandish and disapproved claims about the election and telling them they should, therefore, flip the election to donald trump. Is that a conspiracy to commit a crime . It should be. What youve articulated is what lawyers call predicate acts, discream criminal acts that you use to tie together a larger criminal conspiracy. There are items you mentioned, the call to Brad Raffensperger, Voting Machine alleged tampering, the slate of false electors. The other thing is more recent conduct by President Trump or advisers to tamper with witnesses or otherwise obstruct justice. That would be something that was a little different in time, separated in time from the 2020 election. Nonetheless, it could form a part of the charges shes about to bring. You talk about tampering with witnesses. Our cnn colleague and former Lieutenant Governor geoff duncan who is a witness and testifying today, donald trump posted something on the Social Media Site saying he shouldnt testify. Is that Witness Tampering . Well, a prosecutor can make a strong case thats Witness Tampering. If you have someone you know or reasonably expect is testifying either before the grand jury or before trial and you threaten or cajole or attempt to obstruct that testimony, sure, a prosecutor can make out a case for Witness Tampering. That seems to me at least a little too recent in time to form a basis for this indictment that presumably is forthcoming. It wouldnt surprise me if fani willis found other examples where people on the trump team used what she deems to be improper pressure to get witnesses not to testify. Paula, theres a key difference in this case and the fed federal case. In georgia, trump cannot pardon himself even if he is elected president next november. Reporter thats right, jake. This is one of the reasons that the former president s legal team has been most concerned about georgia. Not only the evidence that many of us are familiar with like that call with the Secretary Of State, many other key pieces of evidence that fani willis has gathered. Once this case is brought, if hes indicted, he cant make it go away. If hes reelected to the white house, most legal experts agree he would likely have his handpicked Attorney General fire the special counsel. He also has his pardon power, likely for himself and certainly for others. But the state of georgia, that is beyond the reach of even the president of the United States. Theres no mechanism for him to make this case go away even if he is reelected. So what happens, tom . What happens if donald trump lets presume the verdict doesnt come in until after november 2024, and lets presume for the sake of this exercise that he wins which could happen, both the nomination and the presidency. What happens if a georgia jury says hes guilty of xyz, rico has a fiveyear minimum sentence. The president of the United States goes to prison . I think there are a few hurdles theyd have to get through to make that happen. In that scenario, President Trump would say you need to exercise discretion and not sentence him to jail time. In other words, hes the duly elected new president of the United States, and you should either suspend the sentence, allow him to serve as president. The second argument the trump team would make is it infringes on his constitutional duty to execute the laws of the United States, it would be unconstitutional to force an incumbent president of the United States to serve jail time on a state charge. Were a long way away from that point. Those arguments have never succeeded, have never needed to be presented. Thats the sort of argument you would see if the scenario played out as articulated. We should note if a thing and a verdict happened before the president ial election, he could run for president from prison. Its happened before. Eugene debs in the 20s or something was a president ial candidate who had been put in prison for violating the sedition act of all things. Absolutely right. You have to dig pretty far back in our nations history to find something even remotely analogous. Our founders probably didnt envision the scenario we find ourselves in today. We see trump attacking d. A. Fani willis on his truth social page, even as shes in that building possibly preparing an indictment against him. Reporter thats right. This is nothing new. Hes repeatedly attacked fani willis, calling her a marxist, a racist, today pointing out the crime issues in the city of atlanta, suggesting she should be focusing on that instead of this indictment. Similar to the attacks he launched against the mann District Attorney who also indicted him in a second case. Lawyers who have worked for the former president have made the argument to me that there are legitimate questions about whether elected District Attorneys, in this case, a democratic prosecutor, should be able to file charges against a former president of the United States, or if thats something that should be reserved for the Justice Department and for special counsel. The former president not making that nuanced argument, instead calling people, quote, nasty disa disasters, marxists, leftists, and launching personal attacks. Behind the scenes his lawyers have other questions that i do think are going to become a theme in the court of public opinion, but probably not on truth social. Paula reid and tom dupree, thanks to both of you. Growing questions and fewer answers as more videos emerge showing live power lines flung into the air were the deadly fires erupted.

Some Cell Phone Service is slowly returning the the island of maui. Wildfires there have killed at least 96 people. That number is sadly expected to rise as so many people remain unaccounted for. Many who did survive had to outrun fastmoving wildfires. Now they have no homes. The raw emotional and anguish there is palpable. Lets go straight to cnn Chief Climate Correspondent bill weir on the island of maui. Bill, has the full scope of this devastation sunk in to residents there . Reporter boy, its happening minute by minute, day by day, jake. You have some people, families giving dna samples to authorities because their loved ones are missing. Most of those 96 souls there were essentially cremated by these wildfires. Thats goings to take time for forensic evidence. Those who still have their homes are affected economically. Its a psychological toll arizona people debate about whether tourists should be welcomed or not. A lot of people are putting this ang sooint into action.

I think theres a big ice truck coming. Weve got help on the way. Reporter they put out a plea on facebook. And when thousands of dollars began rolling in, they started handing it out. That didnt seem like enough. So they organized a caravan and sweettalked their way past red tape and checkpoints. When they finally saw what la r lahaina looked like for the first time, they wept. Just on the edge of the burn scars, we find an inspiring example of hawaiian togetherness. A whole pallet. Are you kidding . That is aloha hospitality. Appreciate it. Nice and cool. Reporter Archie Kalepa is a hall of fame surfer and lifeguard with maui roots that go back generations. I was really lucky because our neighbors, they were here fighting the fire right at this corner. The Fire Department said this is our last stand. Were going to hold the line right here. Reporter while theres so much frustration over the official response so far, he said authorities deserve understanding given the size of the disaster. This right here is a crime scene. What people dont understand is the government has to do Due Diligence before they start moving in. Reporter so its a humanitarian response in the middle of a working crime scene. Exactly. Reporter but at another relief pod on a beach nearby, frustration has turned to anger. Everybody is like, oh, they dont come and help, they dont come and help. [ bleep ]. Nobody came to help us. We rely on people like you guys that have compassion like we do, that are willing to help us because, please, we need help. We need help. The next step this is just the first inning. This is the first inning of what were facing. Tourism is our number one source of income. I would hope that our representatives, our politicians, our government would ask the people from here when can we open. They shouldnt be telling us, oh, we want to open six months from now. The truth of the matter is, when you look at the overall devastation, we are not going to be ready to allow people to see what were living through in six months. Reporter archie says he hopes this outpouring from around the world for maui is sustainable beyond these weeks, into next year, the years it will take to rebuild.

Multigenerational hawaiians who are being priced out of these Paradise Settings right now. The soul is being sent out. They want to keep this from happening ever again. Bill weir in maui, thank you very much. Lets go to cnns nick watt. Nick, so many questions remain about how this fire started and how it got as bad as it did. Today new information about how power lines on the island might have played a role. Thats right, jake. The local utility is under increasing scrutiny. Did downed Power Lines Spark the fires . Should they have done more over the years to prepare for Something Like this . And should they have preemptively shut down the grid in such high winds . A Class Action Lawsuit has already been filed against the Power Company and it reads in part, by failing to shut off power during these dangerous fire conditions defendants caused loss of life. Here is the pushback, specific to a formal power program, we like most utilities do not have one t Hawaiian Electric spokesperson told cnn. He said shutoffs would have had to have been coordinated with the First Responders because on m maui, quote, electricity powers the pumps needed for firefighting. He said the focus right now is on helping the recovery. Nick, our Investigative Team uncovered some social media videos that focus on those power lines what do they seem to show . Well, you know, these videos are ramping up the pressure. On the utility we see poles and pylons bending in high wind and downed power lines. Listen to shane true as he films outside his house. Heads up. The line is live on the ground right now. Thank you. The power line is live. The power line, it started from up the road there. Reporter the utility has been making efforts at fire mitigation. Last year they asked for nearly 190 million for a, quote, Climate Adaptation program. But in the previous four years, they did not remove any hazardous trees outside of the rightofway around their equipment. Utilities have been found at fault for fires in the past. Here in california pg e was found guilty of 84 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter for the fire that pretty much destroyed the town of paradise. Now, i must stress there is no official cause yet for the fire that destroyed lahaina. Clearly there were a few factors at play, those storm winds as well as a lot of dry vegetation. The big remaining question, what provided the sparks. Jake. Nick watt, thanks so much. Joining us on the phone now is kakoa lansford, a resident of lahaina.
