Submitting its proposal for the start of the federal trial over january 6th. Their suggestion, april 2026. This as the fbi is investigating death threats. Plus, 1,000 people still unaccounted for in hawaii. State officials fear many of them could be children who are off from school that day. The mayor of maui is my guest and a russian general turning up dead. The second one this week. Were they targeted by putin . Lets go outfront. And good evening. Im erin burnett. Outfront tonight, the breaking news. Trumps legal team just proposing a new date for his federal january 6th case. The date, april 2026. To state the obvious, this is years away and jack smith, the Special Counsel obviously is pushing for the first court day of 2024, about four months from now. January 2nd. It comes as the fbi is now working with the Fulton CountySheriffs Office in georgia and they are investigating threats being made against the grand jurors who voted to indict trump along with 18 others. In a Statement Writing we take this matter very seriously and are coordinating with our Law Enforcement partners to respond quickly to any credible threat and ensure the safety of those who carried out their civic duty. This is coming after we reported that the purported names, photographs, even addresses of some of the members of the grand jury are circulating on websites. Some calling for violence against those jurors. American citizen, civilians, doing their civic duty. In a moment, im going to speak to daniel jones. A former fbi investigator who first spotted these threats. This is alarming. The context here as we have learned a texas woman has been charged with threatening to kill judge chutkan, whos overseeing the case. According to court documents, the woman left the judge a voice mail threatening to quote kill anyone who went after president trump. And since the 2020 election, we know this. Weve heard this. People have come on this program, some of them, to talk about the threats theyve received. Election officials. Mayors. Governors. Member of congress. All of them receiving these threats because trump turned against them. Tonight, the former president is not letting up on the constant veiled threats of violence. In one of his first interviews, he said this. Its a witch hunt. Its just a continuation of a witch hunt. They want to silence you. And they mean silence. They are, i think theyre sick people. I think they are people that have no idea how the world works and they have no idea the anger they cause. No idea the anger they cause. And tonight, cnn is learning trumps News Conference as he called it, where he said he was going to talk about the election. We would likely have heard the same attacks and lies about the Georgia Election, but he was going to try to refute the indictment. That may not happen at all because sources tell cnn few of his advisers new of this event before trump announced it. And since then, trump has been told to bail on it. They fear it could complicate his case. We spoke to trumps former white house lawyer and this is what he said. Why trumps socalled Press Conference could backfire is for this reason. Theres a good chance that whatever document he produces ends up as evidence against him. It could even end up you know, as the basis for an Obstruction Count against the author. Because its likely to be fiction. And solely for the purpose of contaminating the jury pool. All right. I want to begin tonight with sarah murray. Shes outfront in washington. So all of this moving quickly. What more do you know . Its a huge gap between what the trump team is asking for and what the Justice Department has proposed, which you pointed out is january of 2024. In this new filing, trumps team says he needs time to prepare for this trial. Theres an enormous amount of discovery. They say the government is essentially asking for the kind of timeline that you would see in a Misdemeanor Case that doesnt involve documents. They also list Donald Trumps mounting legal problems and point out hes going to have to prepare for trial in the classified documents case in florida. He also has to prepare for trial in the georgia case. Also in the manhattan case. So they lay out all the reasons why they believe this is too tight of a time frame in 2024 and why the former president is going to take years apparently to prepare to go to trial in this case. Well see how that develops. I know were going to hear more from the judge in the coming days on what a trial date will be. You also have information from your reporting about what is next in the georgia case. The Fulton County case with fani willis. Thats right. The next step in this is really the surrender process. Thats really the only point where we know in the near term that donald trump and his defendants are going to have to show up in georgia and be processed. Were learning trumps team has been in conversations with the Fulton CountyDistrict Attorneys office. Were also learning though that other defendants have begun their preliminary conversations with the d. A. s office. These conversations are supposed to continue early next week in person and theyre going to cover things like what potential bond would be like for donald trump or other defendants. What the Release Conditions would be like. And frankly, the defendants have an incentive to hash this out with the d. A. s office ahead of time because as we were talking to attorneys about how this process works, they said if you walk sinto that jail, and this f to surrender before noon next friday, if you walk into that jail without a bond agreement, theyre going to book you, process you, and retain you in custody. So it is a good incentive to be meeting and working out these agreements before anyone has to set foot in jail. Thank you very much, sarah. Outfront now ryan goodman. Allilisa griffin and daniel jones, the former fbi investigator now president of advanced democracy. Daniel, you have so much new Ma Information on these threats. I want to get to that, but this news just breaking about the trial date. So trump putting out april 2026. Interesting sarah says his defense is ive got to prepare for the other ones. I understand some of those dates have been set. Some are being negotiated. But it seems like this is the one he really doesnt want to have happen. This is the latest date hes requested. Thats right. I think theres a good chance the other ones are going to move so the very argument hes making that these pieces are in place, i think theyre going to move. For example, the District Attorney in manhattan has suggested hes willing to move to let the feds go first. Also, theres this kind of peculiarity in his brief because they say they will accept the governments recommendation he only needs four to six week to prepare his case. If thats true, why do you need so many years . Its kind of contradictory. I dont think the judge is at all going to recognize that date as realistic. Just saying 2018, 2016. I dont think its anywhere close to. Its very much a delay tactic, but taking a step back and thinking about what donald trump is walking into. This next week ahead, hes going to have to turn himself over for his arraignment in georgia. All happening while the first gop president ial debate which hes likely not participating in is taking place. Hes also trying to negotiate several different trial dates hes going to have to deal with in the new year which may line up well with the primary calendar. Hes running for president to stay out of jail but hes coming up along all these roadblocks along the way of having to deal with the legal system he put himself in. Daniel, in this context, youve got these threats that we talked about against the grand jury in georgia. As that, were waiting for him to turn himself in as others. You found these threats. You spotted them online. I know you have a new report with some key examples. How scary are these threats . As youve reported, when trumps rhetoric gets at its worst, it leads to a ton of vile information online. And comments, threatening not only government officials, undermining government institutions, but now were seeing some of trumps statements actually leading to threats against people who are doing their civic duty. Serving on a jury. And again, overthe last 48 hours, its really been a peak. Its starting to increase. The amount of racist language were seeing right now is really off the scales. Incredibly alarming. The racist language is off the scales. Can you draw, daniel, from what youve seen a direct line between the threats and trump himself . Id say theres four things you can draw a Straight Line from trump and what we see online and what we dont want to see, which is real world violence. Number one is timing. So trump says something and then immediately, we see comments online. Thats very simple. A to b. Reposting trump statements. He may Say Something online, someone will post what he said then provide a comment with violent or racist language. They will also boarrrow his language. The terms witch hunt, which youve already mentioned today. Rigged election, which we know well. Radical left. Fake news. So well see these terms repeated then finally, well see content alignment. Say trump actually mentions a volunteer whos a poll worker at a station then well see that name online and threats against this person online. So of course you can draw a direct line between what trump is saying and what this violent and racist language were seeing online and again, eventually, real world violence as we saw on january 6th and as we talk about this woman in texas. And of course, the gentleman in ohio and utah who was just recently killed. Making threats against biden. Theres a real connection between what trump says, what happens online then what happens in real life. Ryan, the question is, these threats are right now, spec specifically directed at the grand jury. Civilians who just did their job. They werent on a jury to decide whether to convict him. Just to decide whether it met the bar for charges. Right. Does this mean, can he be held accountable for this . I think he needs to be quite worried about it in the sense of twofold. One is that there is going to be an Arraignment Hearing in georgia. Under georgia law, the judge has to determine that he, donald trump, the defendant, poses no significant risk of Witness Intimidation and also obstruction of the administration of justice. Hes already kind of violated that rule with his statement about jeff duncan, trying to push him not to testify. He was very clear. Then the fact hes having this causal effect and saying nothing. So daniels report is known across the country. Im sure donald trump knows about the report. He said nothing. Not to his supporters like do not do this, stand down. What a normal political leader would do in that circumstance. So when the judge has to determine, okay, is this person, can i say that this person poses no significant risk . It comes up. I dont think hell be detained at stage one but he poses a serious risk. Back in d. C. , he has now asked for a 2026 date for the start of the trial. What did the federal judge say . If you make inflammatory statements, ill have to go faster and this is whats happening. That is polluting a jury pool because georgia is a subset of the d. C. Case. And not only does he not say stand down ever. The famous words were stand by. Does he obviously his silence speaks volumes. Does he revel in these threats . I think he does and i think he knows what hes doing. This is other people kind of following the lead hes already put on his his truth social. I would note georgias particularly interesting and kind of concerning from a Security Standpoint because there will likely be cameras in the courtroom. So youll see the faces of the Court Officials in the way its a lot more closed door, the d. C. Cases and every one of them faces running into what ruby freeman and shaye moss did. Which was incredibly documented in the indictment. Thank you all very much. I appreciate it. Next, as trump faces four criminal indictments, 91 now from all charges, there is now a republican surge ning in the po not named trump. Not named ron desantis. Who is it . Plus, a maui official defending not using the warning sirens during the fires that tore through the island killing more than 100 people confirmed. The number will be much higher.

Four of them now. If you look. This is not even possible. Theyre all similar in the sense theres no base for them. Its a disgraceful thing. And republicans cant get them get away. They have to be tough. Including text messages, direct conversations, all of which support the charges against trump. Harry is at the magic wall. When he talks about republicans get tough, harry, trump says theres no basis for any of his indictments. Do republicans see it the same way . It feels like deja vu all over again. Each time we have a new indictment, you look at the polling and you know, you say, okay, the gop think trump should have been indicted. Look at this. Theyre all the same numbers. The hush money case. 14 . The efforts related to overturning election, january 6th. 15 . The Georgia Election case. 15 . Clas classified docs. When you look at all these different indictments, the numbers are the same. Most republicans do not believe trump should have been indicted. Very few believe it. Interesting theyre all the same. So two things i know stand out in the latest fox news poll to you. And one is how little these indictments are impacting trumps 2024 bid and there is a republican though on the rise. If we look at these numbers, top choice. Look at trump. These numbers are the same. Theyre well within the margin of error. No movement going on. Trump getting above 50 of the vote. One candidate going down. Thats desantis. 24 in march. Now at 16. Look here. Ramaswamy. 1 back in march. Look at where he is right now. 11 and you know, this is just one poll but ive looked across a slew of them and the average also have ramaswamy. Hes the only candidate nationally whos rising. Trumps still way ahead, but lets see what happens especially as we go into this first debate. Fascinating. So on the democratic side, sources, harry, are telling us that white house aides admit the Hunter Biden Investigation is a very sensitive topic thats largely avoided around president biden, which is pretty interesting and important information. How do americans view the Hunter Biden Investigation . Yeah, so i think its very interesting to note here, okay, this is a question from abc news. Is the doj handling of the Hunter Biden Case in a non partisan and fair manner. The plurality, very clear here. No, they are not confident that the doj is doing this. Just 32 feel confident that they are in fact handling the case in a nonpartisan and fair manner. The fact is, yes, the overall population doesnt necessarily like donald trump but they also dont like the way the doj is handling the Hunter Biden Case. Thank you very much. I want to go now to ro khanna, a member of the National Advisory board for the biden harris 2024 campaign as well. So, i want to talk about the h
