And we have new video of how it all played out breaking overnight signs of special counsel jack smith has had enough of the judge overseeing the maralago documents case, a scathing filing. It could be seen as a first step to try to get her removed from the case. Chaos swirling around donald trump social Media Company, a new lawsuit against two former apprentice contestants connected the truth social. Zara is out today. Im john berman im going with kate baldwin, Cnn News Central starts right now lets get straight to the Breaking News overnight, 75 people trapped inside the tunnels. They have now just been rescued after earthquake hits taiwan. The strongest earthquake to hit taiwan in 25 years. Were going to show you, follow this video, showing a cloud of dust. You can see just settling in as the earthquake caused a massive landslide, the epicenter of the 7. 4 magnitude quake. It was a mountainous area on the east coast of the island. So far, the Death Toll Stands at, at least nine more than 800 people also have been wounded, were staying very closely to try to attack, track that the quake hit during the Morning Commute and look at this. Theres dash camera video just capturing traffic coming to a standstill. Is it all happens in the highway very clearly beginning to shake. And then theres also this one man, he was a rooftop Swimming Pool when it all started. And you can see the massive waves there were caused by the tremors were also getting a look of how it unfolded inside one television studio. Watch this very from so scary no matter what the angle is that were showing you here from all of this video. Lets get right over two. Cnns hanako montgomery, whos tracking all of this for us from tokyo. A. Hanako, latest hi kate. I mean, yeah. Like you saw there really, really alarming footage coming out of taiwan. This morning local time. So as you mentioned, we know that at least nine people were left dead and more than 900 people were actually left injured because of this very powerful earthquake. And the subsequent when two aftershocks. We also know that of the nine people who died, all of them were killed in quality and county where it was very close to the epicenter and actually where most of the significant damage has been taking place. And just for context, a Collin County is located on the eastern coast of taiwan. Its very popular tourist destination. Its also rural area. And coincidentally where most of taiwans earthquakes actually occur. So we also know that 56 people were trapped in kuala and county. Originally that number was up to 130 but Rescue Operators were able to rescue all the people trapped in those tunnels to safety. Now, in terms of the rest skew operations, the time when hes Defense Ministry has dispatched military troops to coincide and to work with a local governments, try to get people to safety, get them out from underneath the rubbles of their homes and buildings. This is really common protocol that you see in taiwan when you, see a Natural Disaster of this magnitude, military troops do with local governments to try to get people again to safety. But one thing that was actually affecting Disaster Relief efforts today were the damaged roads. You saw a main highway from taipei, the capital of taiwan, to fallen county, actually, a partially destroyed so military troops had to use some aircrafts to get to that part of the island. Now, we also have to remember the context of this, of this earthquake it happened just a day before tomb sweeping day, which in the chinese Speaking World is a day when people visit their, their ancestors graves and give them offerings. And remember their loved ones. But of course, for many people full in taiwan, those plants have been disrupted as they have to deal with the rubble and the aftermath of the most powerful earthquake. Theyve seen in the last 25 years, kate this terrifying as were watching this video much more to come, youre going to stay close to it. Thank you so much. Hanako, john, yeah, just remarkable images there. There was a Tsunami Warning in place, actually several in several countries they have since been lifted. Lets get the latest from urologists elisa raffa, at least. What can you tell us this morning . Yeah. Thankfully those were lifted on this morning, but yeah, tracking those massive seven Point Magnitude earthquake, just offer the east coast, they are of taiwan that was pretty shallow. We are finding we seen on the video all the structural damage, landslides, a lot of these buildings have heavy wood frame in construction. Some of the aftershocks have been as much as six point in magnitude. So with the buildings kind of already loosen their foundation from the first earthquake. Its not going to take much in those aftershocks to cause further damage. Now, of magnitude seven point on the Richter Scale for an earthquake is very rare worldwide. We only average about 15 per year. Thats across the world to get something this intense. And they are most common in this area of the world. We call it the ring of fire because thats where nearly 450 of our volcanoes, 90 of the worlds earthquakes all happened in this area. And thats because thats where we have the edge of two massive Tectonic Plates meeting. And when those plates start to move and shake and rub up against each other, thats when you have these massive earthquakes. And this is the ring of fire. Look at where it goes up the west coast of the us, and then all across eastern asia and south eastern asia. And this is exactly where we see most of the worlds earthquakes in this ring of fire. So taiwan kind of where its situated it is prone to these massive earthquakes, though they are a pretty rare now in the cleanup for the next three days, we are looking at some showers possible over to taiwan, which isnt good for rescue crews and for cleanup. Were looking at showers. Temperature is about average a little bit above average in the middle and upper 70s with the rain by thursday and into friday and saturday, which again could be a problem with rescue crews and trying to clean up some of this damage and you can see the showers that really roll off of mainland of china there as we go through the next couple of days through today, through thursday, friday, and going into the weekend. So thats something that the rescue crews will have to contend with, but aftershocks continue, thats seven Point Magnitude was the first one, and well have to keep watching these aftershocks and how they can already kind of rock vulnerable structures that are already fallen and the damage is already there. So something that well have to keep watching through the day today, john, when youve already lived through a major earthquake like that, the aftershocks can be two more terrifying.

Joint cnn for live coverage around the country of the spectacle in the skies, eclipse across america, live monday at one on cnn or streaming on macs are breaking overnight in extraordinary filing by special counsel jack smith blasting judge Aileen Cannons, Jury Instruction Request in the maralago Classified Document lets case. Smiths said the judges order reflected a quote, fundamentally flawed understanding of the case. Before her that has no basis in law or fact with this. Now, cnn senior legal analyst, former us assistant us attorney for the Southern District of new york, elie honig. Elie, this has to do judge Aileen Cannon asked both the prosecution and the defense and to write hypothetical Jury Instructions on the issue of whether the maralago documents were in fact personal property. Donald trumps property in the filing judge, the special counsel, jack smith wrote, quote, the court should be aware at the outset that the trumps entire effort to rely on the pra, the president ial records act is not based on any facts. It is a posttalk justification that was concocted more than a year after he left the white house the special counsel also writes there is no basis in law or fact for that legal presumption in the court should reject trumps effort to invent one as a vehicle to inject the president ial records act into this case. What do you see their ally . Well, john jack smiths frustration really just jumps off the page in this brave that by the way, classifies as a prosecutorial temper tantrum. I mean, usually prosecutors are very just the facts very deferential to a judge. And here we see jack smith really expressing his frustration at the judge the source of his frustration is that judge cannon has expressed a real willingness to entertain and perhaps introduced to the jury this defense that donald trump has raised based on the president ial records act and jack smiths response, and we can break it down a bit more as we go ahead here. But his response basically boils down to its a falsity as a matter of fact, this never happened. Trump never properly designated the documents. And second of all, even if he had it fails legally. So jack smith has had it and you can sense that in this brief and in ascii, in this brief for the judge to rule specifically on this matter. Now, why is that significant so this is a really important point. What jack smiths says in this brief is if youre going to rule against us, if youre going to entertain this defense and potentially instruct the jury on this defense. We need to know now because we may well appeal you. Hes going to appeal if he loses, but hes being polite about it. He says we may well appeal you theres a really important reason for that, john, once a case goes to a jury, even if the jury gets legally flawed instructions, when the jury comes back, if they come back with an acquittal with a not guilty verdict, theres nothing a prosecutor can do. A prosecutor cannot appeal a not guilty verdict. So what jack smith is saying here is, were worried that you may make a mistake here that may lead to a not guilty verdict. And then therell be nothing we can do. So if youre going to do this, tell us now and will appeal you. Does it stop with the idea of keeping the door open for an appeal or is this also possibly a first step in a real longshot effort to get her removed from the case yeah. So thats possible. It is extraordinarily rare, but there is a procedure for this and it can happen sometimes where prosecutors will ask a judge or will ask an Appeals Court to remove a federal judge from a case. Now you have to be really careful about when and why you do that as a federal prosecutor first while its a pretty precipitous move. Second of all, if you lose, you have a kind of awkward scenario where youve asked the judge to be kicked off and then theyre not its supposed to be reserved for cases where the judge has made repeated errors that events some sort of bias. Now, judge cannon did rule in favor of donald trump before this case was indicted, youll remember the special mask mr. Issue, and she got reversed by the court of appeals there. And so its possible i think unlikely, but possible that if the judge rules against doj here, they may take that sort of extreme step of asking her to step aside. Elie honig. Great to see you.
