Tonight on three 60, an arrest after one judge in the trump trial gets a racist Death Threats. And in another trial, The Grand Jurys names and addresses post on a farright website, concerns will can happen next. Also, he promised a Big Press Conference just two days ago, claiming it finally complement of the 2020 Election Fraud. More signs tonight he was, no surprise, just for blowing smoke. And hawaii, with 1000 people still unaccounted for. A cnn investigation, into why maoism are to see sirens maintain the deadly silence. Good evening, thanks so much joining us. We bring begin to breaking news. The former president s attorneys have weighed in with when they want the trial to be in the federal election subversion case. And, its a long way off. The Justice Department had proposed january of 2024. The former president s attorneys, now say the trial should not start until april, 2026. Thats more than two and a half years from now. And if mr. Trumps elected president again, its effectively never. The lawyers, in their filings, saying the Justice Departments proposed a denies in the ability to repair for trial. Joining us now is cnn legal analyst and former manhattan chief assistant District Attorney karen friedman. So karen, what do you make of this proposed start, eight by the former president s attorneys . So, he has been, in all of his cases, essentially saying delay, delay, delay, right thats. His number one stick, and judges have gotten wind of that. And he did write a lot, in this motion, that is i think a 16 page motion that his lawyer submitted, where they talked about how much discovery, which is the documents that the government has to hand over, that there are so many. And they even had a drawing in, theyre where they stack them up, and showed if you were to stack them all, its much higher than the Statue Of Liberty in the empire state building, you know, trying to sow show that is so much, we cant possibly be. Ready but at the same time, he also puts in their, that we have so many other court cases, so i have video of those cases, so i cant do this one. But he is saying, in all this court cases, i cant be ready on this, one because i have the other. One and so, he really doesnt want any of them to go. And the judges will see that, and when you cry wolf, at a certain point, because this is what he does in all of his cases, i dont know that the judge is going to let him get away with it. In the maralago case, he has also indicated that there was so much, the discovery was so much, that we cant possibly be ready. But then the government said yes, there is a large number, and so much of it are things like email headers, or things that are irrelevant, that really on the meat and potatoes. And, the government is handing over a road map, to the discovery, saying this is whats important, this is where you find. So, theres really no reason why a one defendant, four count indictment cant be ready, in january, when jack smith asks for january 2nd. This is not a two and a half your case. So, in the filing, the attorney said the governments objection is clear, to deny President Trump and his counsel a fair ability to prepare for trial. I mean, do you know a lot of cases that need nearly three years of prep, and whats sort of the case for . It yeah i mean, if you had a, say 19 defendant case, with 41, 41 charges. I mean thats a big, case with a lot of defendants, and a lot of information that could take time. But this is, really its one defendant, its four charges. And so much of whats in there, trump has already litigated in 60 court cases across the United States, right. He has been litigating these issues for the last two and a half years, so he is prepped to handle all of these issues. There could be a very complicated cases, that require much more time. But i dont think this is one of them, this is a very, very streamlined case. And jack smith did that deliberately, right. For charges, thats. It Karen Freeman thank you for. This we learn more details about the alleged threat against judge chutkan. A texas woman is in custody tonight charge of lead leaving planning to kill her. The Charging Document includes a transcript of the defendant, calling judge chutkan a quote, stupid slave, and then the nword. And wanting warning quote, if trump doesnt elect in 2020, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly. And saying she also allegedly said, you are in our sights, we want to kill you. The woman is being held pending trial. Weve also learned, just a short time ago, that the fbis Atlanta Office is now helping the Fulton CountySheriffs Office. After threats of violence to inspect by county officials. The Sheriffs Office is also working, in their words, to track down the origins of threats against the grand jurors who voted monday to indict the former president. The threats, coming after their names and addresses showed up on various Online Platforms frequented by the farright. Join me now a cnn chief Law EnforcementIntelligence Analyst john miller. Also, former Secret Service agent. So john, how much of the former president s rhetoric plays into this . I mean, would this woman have known judge chutkans name, had the former president not been talking about her so much . I dont think you could separate for president s rhetoric, or the style of it. Which is, he has called the judge in new york names. He has criticize the judge in washington personally. He has gone after the District Attorneys, in both cities. To the point, that threats followed, where theyve had to increase their security details. And now, theyre happy to provide Police Protection around the homes of grand jurors. So, i dont think you can disconnect it. And do you think grand jurors should have Police Protection, in this case and Fulton County . And also i mean, should their names be public . Heres the thing. Historically, theyve always made these names public. But now with the way things are, with this caucusing thats happening, the taking of peoples personal information, and then putting it out, there and making a public. You are putting these people in danger. So, you can give them protection for how long . How long can you do that . The resources, the manpower that entails. Do they have the ability to do this . And then when the trial is over, then what happens . This stuff doesnt go away. And its not just the physical security or concerned with, its the harassment, it is the cyberattacks. There are all these other things that come into, it as well as their extended family and their lives. So, this really, something should be shifted, because we are in an environment right now, or its not just the physical security, our information is out there, then also john, if you want to destroy the system of justice we have in this country, you essentially, we are seeing an all out assault on it from a variety of ways. And one of them is, intimidating people who might serve on a jury. I mean, these are people doing an incredibly important civic job. Thats a really interesting distinction, because everything you say is correct. But, there is a certain professional code, that threats come with being a prosecutor, come with being an agent, come with being a judge even. And thats why there is a system, built to protect them, around them. Its why there are a Core Officers and u. S. Marshals. A juror, a grand juror, that does not come with the territory. They are citizens, independent citizens, doing their civic duty. Which is why, under title 16, i think its chapter 20 in the Georgia State law. They have a very strong statute, that says if you threaten, or try and impede, and try and intimidate a jury, or a grand juror, on account of a verdict or an indictment, thats a 20 year count, with a 5000 dollar fine. The key here is, if they catch those threats on the internet, and we do have these capabilities in Law Enforcement, we did a lot of it in new york city, you trace the map to the origins, you interviewed a few, we present those cases to the prosecutors, and you make some examples. I mean, if you are providing protection for the judge, judge chutkan for instance, how closely would you be following the former president s remarks about her . Because i mean, its stunning that we are living in a world where a former president of the United States is going after, calling judges on trials he is facing these names. Its so interesting. Because here, its on the flip side. So in the Secret Service, we were typically concerned about dialogue of scenes being said about other people we protected. A president , chiefs of staff, or whoever we were protecting. So now, its the flip side, and its someone who is in a very influential position. And, your words impact people. When we would see people who we call them special interests, and we were protecting. You are also dealing with people here who have Mental Health issues, youre dealing with people who are not of a strong mind. And so, your words may impact these individuals in such a way as to cause them to do harm. And we would see that all the time in the u. S. Secret service, and we get a ton of threats in. And it was whats serious, whats not, whats someone saying here, does this person need help . And sometimes, we would have people committed, who we thought were a danger, either to themselves, or something we were protecting. As you were saying before, they are correlated you know. His words. It is john, i mean this topsyturvy world, where we have the former president , the former mayor of new york, who reached down and targeted jurors, ruby friedman. Election. Workers election workers. I mean, its extraordinary, that this is just, and it seems normal now. I think, the flipside argument is bizarre, because you have someone, in the person of a former president , who has Secret Service protections, who is driving the language, that is driving the threats, that people who have no protection. John miller, thanks so much, appreciate it. We are also learning more tonight, about the judge who preside over the Fulton County trial. Gary tuchman has more. This, is scott mcafee, Superior Court judge in Fulton County, georgia. All right, welcome back everybody. Presiding over a recent cnn courthouse video. And so, to that end, i believe the state did prove beyond a reasonable, doubt that there was sufficient evidence to convict on each of the charges in this case. Judge mcafee, now randomly assigned to a dramatically different legal scenario. He is 34 years old, and was appointed to a seat just six months ago by georgias republican governor, brian kemp, jamilah vacancy. Before that, he served as the state inspector general, in both the state and the federal prosecutor, after graduate from the university of Georgia Law School in 2013. Classmates in professional acquaintances say he is politically conservative. Notably, mcafee was a state prosecutor, in the complex Trial Division in Fulton County. Which was led at the time by the woman who is now the Fulton County d. A. , fani willis. Is a democratic Georgia State representative, in a Defense Lawyer who has handled two cases, where mcafee was the prosecutor. In the cases i had with him, he made reasonable decisions related to please, or discovery requests. And, he was fair. Politics never came into. At University Of Georgia Records show he was the treasurer of the log of republicans, a group that serves libertarian members of the law school community, and provide support for republican political candidates. He was also treasurer of the law schools federalist society, an influential conservative and Libertarian Organization in the u. S. Just a few months ago, he presided over a case involving an outspoken trump supporter and conspiracy touting lawyer. I had political views. I believe our country has been taken over by communists. This case, though did not directly involve politics or trump. It was a contempt case, for allegedly making derogatory comments about his former legal associates. So thats where i am. Tell me why im wrong . Judge mcafee held wood in contempt, and leveled fines against him. Scott mcafee has only been on the Fulton CountySuperior Court bench for a few short months. But he is now dealing with a case, that could be one for the ages. Gary tuchman, cnn, headline time. More now on the challenges facing this judge, and every judge in charge of trying to try the former president. Join me now is former federal judge thank you so much for being with us, appreciate it. Before we get to talk about the stretch, i do want to try to see if you have a thought about the Trump Legal Team asking for a date of april, 2026. Well, it kind of made me chuckle. But, thats in the Election Fraud case, the federal election front face right well obviously he would like it to be as long as possible, taken forever, but theres no need for that in that case. That is a straightforward case, and it should be tried soon. And the judge is the one who makes the decisions . Oh absolutely. And the government has asked for january. So, january 24th. So, i think its going to go this spring. Youve heard about the Death Threats against judge chutkan. Obviously, judges have been threatened before. Targeting a judge, i mean, having the former president talking about her, calling her racists, all sorts of things. When you hear that, i think to so many people, this now seems normal, should that be normal . Its certainly not normal for a judge to be threatened. But its not unheard of, in high profile cases. Because there are people out there, who are not so so to speak. They are not mentally together, so any high profile case, a judge can get threatening letters, threatening phone calls. And the u. S. Marshals are very aware that, and they take care of that. Unfortunately, there have been a couple of judges who have actually been killed. A couple of federal judges, and some state judges. So it is taking very seriously by the marshals. And, putting the names of grand jurors online, targeting jurors. I mean, that does hurt the, i cant help but believe that would hurt a persons willingness to serve on a. Jury oh absolutely. When i found high criminal cases, ive had anonymous juries. And you might remember, on the e. Jean carroll case, the jury was anonymous, and remain anonymous. So, publishing the names of these grand jurors and their addresses, is a terrible thing, in my opinion. Thats having them being anonymous, does it affect the trial in any way . Well i think the jurors know, there must be a reason that their names arent being given out. So, they are aware that it is certainly high profile. But they did it anyway, so i dont think it affects the justice process. In the Fulton County case, the judge, as we were just showing, is relatively new to the bench. I mean, this is going to be an incredibly difficult trial, for any incredibly experienced judge. Exactly right, no matter how experienced you are, if you have 19 defendants, and 41 counts, its going to be a very complex trial, a rico, a big rico count, and many other counts. Its a tough case to try. I think its going to take six months or more to try. So, someone who has been out of law school for ten years, has been on the bench for 6 to 8 months, has probably never had to control a courtroom, which is not easy. Theres a lot of lawyers jumping up and, down making a lot of motions. Its not going to be easy for a new judge to do that. You know, we hear about that so often, like the importance of the judge control in that courtroom. How does a judge, set down that marker early on, i am in charge . Force of personality, is my opinion. I sense you are very good at that . I think i was, absolutely. I mean, you just make rulings firmly, you dont take further argument after youve ruled. You say sit down, if somebody keeps talking. Ive heard enough, thank you very much. So, you have to be tough, you have to be decisive, you have to be quick. And that takes experience. Do you think the date that d. A. Willis has proposed, march 24, is realistic . Absolutely not, absolutely not. And do you believe, it seems unlikely there will still be 19 defendants, whatever it does go to trial. It seems like some of those are lowhanging fruits. Of course, of course. Some of them going to plead out, some of them going to cooperate, which is always the big risk. Rushing in, who is going to be first to turn and cooperate in the coming states witness. So wont be 19, but i bet it will be double digits. If its not part of it, in federal court, thats an interesting question thats pending right. Now judge its okay to talk. You thank you, thank you very much. Coming up, next what we just now learned was an empty promise by the four resident, to publicly expose Election Fraud in georgia, of which there is not. And a Big Press Conference on monday. And, the very latest from hawaii, where the death toll is still climbing, and a big question of, why did the statewide disaster alarm system actually sound the alarm . More effective than doing it on your own. Get started right now by takin
