Good morning, everyone. Lets get things started with fife things to know for this wednesday, august 16th. There are new developments in Donald Trumps georgia indictment. Overnight we learned the form president is expected to be booked into jail at any point in the next nine i days. And were learning his dms on twitter were of great interest for the Special Counsel. New questions this morning about what caused wildfires on maui that are now blamed for 106 deaths. The Washington Post is report ing a downed power line likely caused that first fire on the island. Heres the video of that moment. The soldier that crossed into north korea, his mother is asking he be treated fairly. Oher attempted a 15 million shake dunn before he filed this petition. Cnn this morning starts right now. Heres where we start. New overnight, we know where donald trump will likely surrender in Fulton County, georgia, with just nine days left to turn himself in. The former president is expected to be arrested and booked at the Fulton County jail on 13 Felony Charges for trying to overturn the Election Loss in the state. Its not clear when that will happen. The District Attorney fani willis has ordered trump to surrender by noon next friday. One of those alleged coconspirators says he will turn himself in sometime next week. Hes ramping up his attacks on the District Attorney and slamming her for using rico charges, the same kind that he used, really pioneered it in new york when he was the attorney back in the 1980s. Shes a politician and not a lawyer. Not an honest, honorable lawyer. This is a ridiculous application of the racketeering statute. Theres probably no one this knows it better than i do. This is not meant for election disputes. This is ridiculous. I dont know if she realizes it because she seems like an Inexcess Tebt prosecutor. Another codefendant Mark Meadows Fighting to move the case from State Court To Federal court so hi can try to get it dismis. Nick valencia is live for us. Do we have anymore insight how its going to go down next friday . Sgrr we wish we had more details, but what we do know is the sheriff says hes going to treat the former president like he would anyone else who indicted and that means processed in the ful con county jail. Where earlier this year a man is alleged to have been eaten alive by bugs. Its caused quite the reaction here in atlanta, if only for the optics alone. We are seeing some of the Defense Strategy from some of the defendants here. Former Chief Of Staff mark meadows and his attorneys filing a formal petition to try to get their case moved to federal court, arguing when someone is charged for actions they took allegedly while working as a federal official, they should have their criminal proceedings moved to federal court. Heres what he and his lawyers are saying in part of that filing say ing, quote, nothing mr. Meadows is alleged to have done is criminal. Arranging oval office meetings, contacting State Officials, visiting a State Government building and setting up a phone call, one would expect a Chief Of Staff to do these sorts of things. Hes charged with two counts in the indictment, including racketeering and violation of oath of office. This matter now is in the hands of the u. S. District judge here in georgia. Nick virginalencia live for thank you. Now to the other investigation into Donald Trumps efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Newly unsealed Court Transcripts reveal jack smith wanted to look into former President Trumps direct messages on twitter. They were reportedly many dms. The transcripts gave additional hints into what the Special Counsel was looking for before they indicted trump in the federal election subversion case. Katelyn polantz joins us now. It was a week or so ago we were wondering why would he need this. But this is about the ones we dont see and maybe even about drafts. Yeah, actually. Donald trump doesnt email, he doesnt text, but in this court transcript, in these Court Proceedings where the special cou counsels office went to twitter and secretly was trying to get access to Donald Trumps twitter account, it wasnt just those tweets. They also want ed the direct messages, and this is the first time we have ever heard Donald Trumps twitter account would have direct messages, private communications on that service, including ones not just that hes sending to people, but ones that would have been deleted. So this all comes out in a series of hearings in february of this year as a judge is trying to get twitter to respond to this warrant that the Justice Department had for these twiter pieces of data. And as the judge is looking for that and trying to figure out twiter might have to make sure they are complying, thats when this come s out. One of the twitter lawyers said we were able to determine there was some volume in that account talking about direct messages. There are confidential communications. So this lawyer is asserting in court, yes, indeed, the Donald Trumps twitter account has direct messages. And the Justice Department talk more about what they want and theres just a list of what they were looking for in different ways they are trying to find messages, messages between Government Officials, between trump and others in the government, between Government Officials and twitter and crucially, four messages that would have been sent around the time that Donald Trumps twitter was suspended. Not only on 1january 6th, but i the days after that account was taken down. I was curious when i saw your reporting. Youre an expert at Mining Filings for nuggets that provide more insight into ongoing investigations that we didnt know beforehand. Should we expect pieces like this to be coming out over the course of the coming weeks and months . Are we going to learn more about this through notes necessarily official proceedings, but in filings alone . Absolutely. At least i hope we will. Theres a lot of Sealing Proceedings that have been happening in the investigation. And only whenever theres some sort of decision by the court that the matter is final enough they can release it do they release it. So theres still just a trove of information where the special Counsel Office was getting information. We just dont know how the proceedings went until we see the documents. Its a great reminder that theres still a lot we dont know. And why we need Katelyn Polantz to dig through them. I dont need a reminder. New this morning, the tragedy that continues in hawaii. Urgent questions about what caused those fires in maui that have been blamed for 106 deaths. We want to remind you that number only accounts for 27 of the search being completed. A big focus is the power lines this morning. We dont know what started any of the fires, but there is video that may show a power pole falling over seconds before these flames emerge. We should note this is not the blaze that destroyed lahaina. This is a different part of the island last monday. Its from a Bird Conservation center surfaced by the Washington Post. So a few seconds in, youre going to see a big flash in the video youre watching now. Then the camera pans several different times to the ceiling, to the ground, then back to the ceiling. By the time it refocuses, youre going to see the flames. At the same time of that first flash, the Washington Post reports ten cent sensors went off in the town. Thats likely an arc flash, something happens when a powerline gets knocked down. Hawaii electric has not responded but they did release a statement. We know theres speculation about what started the fires, and we are working hard to figure out exactly what happened. Mike valerio is live for us. Were hearing that hot spots continue to flare up in many areas several days from the initial fires. Reporter thats right. Good morning to you. Firefighters still have tons of work ahead of them, but i think that the emotional Gravity Point that were focused on here so deeply is the effort to identify the Human Remains that are found a couple miles behind the camera. What we mean by that is the governor was on the air with Kaitlan Collins a few hours ago. He very much set the tone and set the tempo and expectations for people here all throughout the island that this not only will be a few days to get all the wildfires under control, but it will be weeks until all of the dead are identified. To that end, we have a few numbers for you. 13 dna profiles out of all of the bodies that have been found, that is what we have so far. Authorities are asking people to come into a Community Center near maui Central Airport so they can reqdevelop more profil make more dna matches. So far they only have 41 dna samples to make those matches. Earlier yesterday, we heard from a man who took it upon himself to show up at mauis central morgue to try to himself his identify. He was one of the people cl clinging to the rocks on front street and did not survive. His mother and his family dog did survive. Listen to what this man told us a couple hours ago. Hes gone. I just went and identified the body. The police really helped, but i ran into a lot of people that are tired. I havent slept in six days. Like said, i want to identify his body and put him at rest. Reporter so what has been analogized, although completely different circumstances, but if you remember back to the days after 9 11 when finding Human Remains and the Identification Process took months, dna crushed and very difficult to reconstruct the molecules and match them with the dna from living family members. The governor saying on our air earlier yesterday that is the situation that were dealing with here. And i think that that has yet to sink in to the consciousness of the island because it was just a week ago that the unthinkable happened outside of the realm of possibility. Now to think that we could have weeks and weeks of not knowing who has died, how many people have died, its going to be a long process for this to continue. Mikevalerio, thank you. Its going to take awhile. Next hour were going to be joined by the White House Press secretary about President Biden ease response and his plans to visit hawaii. Donald trumps gop rivals are offering mixed reactions to that fourth indictment. And the new Special Counsel overseeing Hunter Bidens criminal case says his previous deal with prosecutors on that Felony Gun Charge is now invalid. What does that mean for the president s son, ahead. My renaissance was daring to dream. Cadillacs renaissance, is daring to go all electric. So. Whats your renaissance .

Were seeing a wide range of reaction from gop candidates when it comes to President Trumps latest and fourth indictment. Ron desantis called it a criminalization of politics. Tim scott says its unamerican and unacceptable. Will hurd saying this is further evidence that trump knew Hes Lo The Election and was ready to do anything it took to cling to power. Joining us now is senior political analyst john avlon, Bakari Sellers and margoest pea. As somebody who is engrained in republican politics, you look at the Range Will Hurd has made clear from the start that trumps behavior was going to be a central issue for him. Other candidates higher up in the polls, still about 30 points down, have had a different posture. The different posture that befuddles people, they are clearly seeing something that says dont go down that path. The campaigns have done their research and for whatever reason they choose to not say the truth and to not call it out for what it is. This is not normal. The man has been indicted four times. And hes about to release his report on monday further proving that he won the election. It really does call into question his sense of judgment, his character is on display here as far as being indicted four times. I was disappointed by tim scotts reaction. Its not surprising that the campaigns are looking for people to target their weaponization because they are going to point out things like Stacey Abrams not conceding and the fani willis, her not being able to question jones because of a fundraiser for him. They are going to call on to these things to say its corrupt and an abuse of power because they dont want to address the elephant in the room, which is donald trump. What do you think . Hes the one who said im going to run a positive campaign, and shes seeing a boost in poll numbers. I think tim scotts response, i think that tim is actually good for the republican party. I think his vision of what the future of america should look like is good for the republican party. I disagree with tim on some of the substance and policy. We differ on the role of racism and the founding of this country. That has to be said, but im not sure why tim is afraid to take that next step. I think tim has a lot of growth in the numbers, if he does take that next step. Theres a little hedging, i think. That i think that is the possibility of a political future on a ticket with donald trump. A lot of people understand that donald trump is going to be nominee. So you cant slap the person and then want them to choose you to be the vice president. Theres a lot of tim just wanting to run his own race and not worry about donald trump. The problem is that they put baby in the corner. They literally have to deal with the elephant that is donald trump. You cant run a race and not address the issue. So im disappointed, but i see the politics behind it. Tim is better than that answer, but here we are. Donald trump brings people down to his level and the problem is none of them want to rise to a new level. Just for context, the inside joke, we were talking about babies in the corner, thats why they were laughing and pointing. There wasnt much more to it than that. Why are they laughing and pointing at each other. I want to talk about something. Since the former president tweeted or whatever he did on truth social, this alleged report hes going to produce that is going to definitively prove fraud in georgia despite the fact that there were multiple audits that every single vote was recounted. The fact that this has been relitigated over and over again both in court and the sta
