Good morning, everyone. Glad youre with is pup five things to know for this thursday august 17th. Devastating news again this morning out of hawaii. We have learned children are among the 111 victims killed in the wildfires and the police chief on maui said that number will go up. Only 38 of the area has been searched ed so far and more tha 1,000 people are missing this morning. And a Fulton County circled one day before primary voters head to the polls in more than a dozen states. New overnight a woman in texas has been charged for threatening the judge overseeing jack smiths federal election subversion case. Also this morning, more Young Americans are diagnosed with cancer. A new study says the rate is driven by women and 30 to 39yearolds. The coach for the womens soccer team is out after the devastating world cup. And you see balancing on the stones. Stunned onlookers watched. Eventually escorted away by a guard. Cnn this morning starts right now. You wouldnt you wouldnt do that . I you wouldnt do that. Ah, depends on the day. My children wouldnt do that. Thats what theyre supposed to do. Keep them from doing that. True. Get to that. The headline on donald trump. Eight days left to surrender on Felony Charges for trying to overturn his 2020 Election Loss in georgia this morning. Negotiations, weve learned, are under way for how and when he will surrender and District Attorney fani willis is pushing for an aggressive trial date asking to start march 4th. Look at that calendar. The day before super tuesday when trump will be competing in more than a dozen president ial primaries. Learning more about the dire financial situations Rudy Giuliani one of trumps 18 codefendants in the georgia case. A source tells cnn giuliani went to maralago to ask a desperate attempt to pay for his ballooning legal bills. Meanwhile in trumps federal election case a texas woman charged with threatening the judge. Investigators say she left a voicemail for the judge saying if trump doesnt get elected in 2024 we are coming to kill you so tread lightly. And bring in justice reporter, and 50 different threats at this moment. What sticks out to you and what are you following given your focus on all of them . Following how many things donald trump and his team have to do over the next couple days, l let alone the next several months, namely fight these cases as they say they are planning to do. Looking at that calendar next year is intimidating for anyone, particularly for a criminal defendant in that the calendar is already packed with proposals for trial dates as well as set trial dates in both lawsuits and criminal proceedings already. And so as we look at how thats going to shake out, it does look right now that every prosecutor, all four who have charged donald trump or, all three who have charged donald trump in four separate cases all want to get their cases done by the end of spring essentially. Whether thats possible is a really big question, and trial dates can definitely move. Things can get dragged out, but what im watching for today specifically, phil and poppy, is that Donald Trumps team will come into court and talk about how much this calendar is difficult for him to navigate, because theyre going to make a proposal in this crucial federal case related to january 6th today on when they want the trial date to be. Trump already said publicly he doesnt want it until after the election, of course, but the Justice Department wants it to be in early january. A pretty aggressive proposal there. Right now the earliest potential criminal trial if they get what they want, but that federal criminal case related to january 6th it is four charges, one desert and has a judge who wants to move fast. Thats a big deal, and then just really quickly, the other thing is, the next couple days theres a bunch of hearings. Just illuminating how much donald trump and his team have to respond to everything. Not only his arrest but hearings related to all three other criminal cases against him. Yeah. A lot of lawyers. A lot of money as well, as weve talked about over the course of the last couple weeks. Ask you. A stark reminder of the moment wherein yesterday threats thrown in the direction of judge chutkan. Whats the response been right now . The response is that there is a criminal complaint against a woman in texas now in the Federal Court that could very well lead to a more robust set of charges. We have seen cases like this come up in the past. Not just related to federal judges, but also related to all kinds of political figures especially opponents of donald trump. This woman in texas abigail jo schrye placed a phone call to judge chutkan. The jurist overseeing the federal case in washington, d. C. Against trump. She made that call just a couple days after trump was arraigned in Federal Court on those criminal charges related to january 6th. And did tell the judge on the call, you will be targeted personally politically your family all of it. Now, she was approached by officer as couple days later. Federal officers saying to them according to the court papers she did make that call to judge chutkan, now whether this actually would have resulted in some sort of violence ultimately is not the question. There is a criminal charge out there about communicating a threat to injure people across state lines, threatening to injure officers, or officers of the federal government. That is a real charge that happens in the federal system and in this court they have had to deal with things like this before. The judge overseeing Michael Flynns case. Mo another trudge ally in 2021. A man made a threatening call and ended up doing 18 months in prison. Yeah. All right. The threats are mysterious, and real and theres real consequences. Feels were in a dicey moment now. And so many judges from the Supreme Court on down threatened and some attacked. Thanks for reporting from washington. New this morning, the death toll from hawaiis devastating wildfires has ridden to 111 and officials are starting to release the names of the victims. Police chief at a News Conference overnight says some remains finding are remains of children. Search teams covered at least 38 of the area with an additional 225 people added to the Search Efforts and another 20 dogs. Telling cnn last night, josh green says the estimates more than 1,000 people are still missing. Scrutiny placed on the states emergency response. Why has one of the largest siren Warning Systems in the world, yet the sirens remained silent as wildfires raged. The governor ord hered the states Attorney General for a review. Some aging some broken during the wildfire. Mowry the Emergency Administrator Sirens tested just a week before and did not sound deli deliberately. Do you regret not sounding the sirens. I i do not. The sirens, as i mentioned earlier, used primarily for tsunamis. Had we sounded the siren that night, we were afraid people would have gone malca. If that was the case, gone into the fire. What hawaiis senator mazy said. I know that they, the Attorney General is reviewing the pre, during and post of this disaster. So that is ongoing. I do believe that the maui person was premature in his assessment of the situation. In saying they does in the regret not sounding the alarm. So much death, destruction and some homeowners only now going back to see what is left. Hawaiian News Reporter reporting from the ground in lahaina where she walked through a charred neighborhood as one couple sees their home for the first time. Reporter we are in the key Leija Neighborhood destroyed by the fire. Walking around its very hard to take in. Everything is burned. You see the Utility Lines still hanging. All of these cars completely burned, and i have to tell you theres a serb smell of this neighborhood. It is, it smells of ash and chemicals and other things i dont even know what it is. Look at this. We keep hearing about the burned metal. Well, this is metal completely burned, and then you see those Fine Particles of ash. This is why this area, Health Officials have been saying it is toxic. It is not good to be here. Look at these cars. Its its unreal. The car windows just blown out and then the glass was melted. What really struck me about being in this neighborhood is that part of it was not destroyed, and now you have kapuna just up that road with those homes not destroyed but still covered with dust and soot. They are now walking to their homes for ten minutes to half an hour just to get to their homes so that they can be there. 62yearold helen walks to her home in the Kilowa Neighborhood Over look the Lahaina Town Pap Short Walk with Hur Husband Howard but in the hot sun and fatigued bodies the journey is difficult and blocked by barricades. Were just doing what we have to do. Theyre not going to let us well just go by foot. Reporter home home spared but unlivable. Her heart broken. I know youve been visiting your home a few times since this week but is this the first time youre seeing this . Yeah. Its hard. Its hard to take in. You know . Just seeing how this devastation i dont know what what to think. We grew up here. This is home to a lot of us. Reporter she says she down look until today more than a week after the firestorm. This man walks to his home. For him each way takes half an hour. Its an emotional journey. Make me cry. Make me cry. Over 20 years i stay in my house. Reporter theres an eerie emptiness of the once thriving town. The stench can be overwhelming, but these families are determined to keep coming back, and from her home, helen can still see the historic smokestack above the ashes. Theres hope. Lahaina will get back, and it will be stronger. Reporter reporting for hawaii news now. Joining us now cindy mcmillan, spokeswoman for the State Of Hawaiis joint information center. Thanks so much for taking time this morning. I want to start following up by what we heard last night related to the sirens, or the lack of the use of the sirens and rationale for it. Put together that, many didnt have cell phones or Cell Phone Service and therefore could not receive those alerts, the question now is, is there anything that could have been done to warn people that this catastrophe was coming their way . Good morning. Sure. I just wanted to start by saying that your coverage has been great and we are carefully and compassionately proceeding, and as part of this response we are still actively working fire sites and recovery efforts, and the questions that folks have been asking about the alerts and so on are definitely top of mind for so many here, and the governor did ask the Attorney General, as you reported, to conduct a comprehensive review of the policies and practices that led up to during and following this incident. So we dont have answers to your questions yet. We do expect the Attorney General will get them, but at this point we cant say. What do you make of, we just played sound there from an official saying he does not regret not sounding the alarm because it would have confused people and they would have run into the fire. Normally the sirens sounded for tsunamis. Do you agree . Would they have run into the fire . Sorry. I dont know the answer to that. I can tell you that the comprehensive review will be looking at that. Yep. Both in this instance and then what we do going forward, because what we learn in this instance will inform how we move forward, and so how we can keep people safe in the future. Can i ask when people will know . Because theyre desperate for answers. When people will know what . Im sorry. When people will expect that review to be done because they are desperate for answers and insurance that this wont happen to them again, with no warning . And i understand that, and i, despite that, i cant give you a date for that, because, as i said, were still in an active Recovery Situation and the fires are still burning. Now, there arent actually any theres no threat to homes at this point with those fires, but they are not completely contained yet. We have toxic situations as was reported. We have identification of our loved ones ongoing, and the comprehensive review is a part of the entire response, but at this topoint in time i just can give awe date on that. In terms of the response thats ongoing now, recovery, identification, levels of complexity and difficulty and the arduous nature of it, do you have any idea when it will be complete and when families, all families, will know, i think more than 1,000 people still missing at this point in time will have answers for where theyre Family Member . Where their Family Members are . The search teams doubled in the last days. 90 people now. Teams from 14 states are helping with the search. 38 of the lahaina area has been covered. The chief said, Maui Police Chief said today that he cant give an estimate. He can only do it the right way. And so until that is done its not complete and we know that people are desperate for news of their loved ones and the unaccounted for, and those efforts are proceeding as quickly and as compassionately as possible. What should people do . Should people go to maui . You know, so many residents are saying, dont come. Dont just look at what has happened. Yet the businesses are struggling so much. So much of the economy is tourism. What is your message for people who think it may help the economy to visit, but also balancing that with the respect and the dignity of those who are suffering so much . You have hit it on the head. It is a balance. Visitors do contribute so much to our economy here, and we appreciate that. At this point in time were just asking that visitors dont go to west maui. There are plenty of other places even on maui and certainly in the rest of the state for visitors to come, enjoy a vacation and not have to worry about the people who are grieving in west maui. The key here is respect for the special place that is home, and lahaina has such a rich history and culture. Right now really focused on the families and luoved ones weve lost there, and then well look to recovery and rebuilding, but right now it is a balance. It is about respect. Can we ask you one final question, just to hear that number. More than 1,000 people missing is so striking. Do you have any indication of whether those are people who just cannot who escaped cannot communicate, majority . Or are the majority presumed to have perished . We do not know at this point in time. Were still working very hard to find, as i mentioned to find, to identify folks, and we want Family Members to work with the american red cross, spiritheading this effort, to make sure that we understand who has not been accounted for yet, where they might have been, and then, also, on the positive side, those people who had been unaccounted for, wed d like to hear from them when they do make contact with their families.
