So this will be a decision that comes down to the judge will learn about that coming up, guys were looking for that, cara. Thank you for the report and the very latest there. Lets bring in criminal Defense Attorney David oscar marcus. Now oh, uh, david, how strong a case do well, prosecutors want you to think its really, really strong ahead. This press conference, of course, theyre asking for attention. They do these in Order Sort of mold what the public perceives the case as an a pressure. The defendant to ask for detention for someone like did he seems very extreme to me and doesnt seem right. I think he should get bail on this case. And i think he probably will take it. I wonder what you make of the indictment alleging that the Combs Company that the Combs Enterprise rather is a criminal organization. Whats the significance of that yeah, they charged rico, which is really interesting here to make it as a criminal organization instead of just charging, did he acting as an individual and those are very, very serious charges. And what brings brings it into federal court, right . Because typically when you think of a Prostitution Case or a Sex Case usually you see it in State Court like with harvey weinstein, that was a State Court case. But here we have the feds bringing the case and using the Rico Statute as a basis to do so, which really amps up the stakes of the case. And Cones Attorney said hes cooperating the u. S. Attorney question that comment what do you make of that being at issue here right i mean, of course, combs wants to say that hes complying with everything that he showed up. He came to new york. Hes ready to surrender. The government wants to make them out like hes an obstruction. Its like hes tampering with witnesses so that he doesnt get a bombed in the case. And so theres gonna be a big dispute about whether he gets bon about whether he has been cooperative or not the government has taken steps to show he is not the executed search warrants. They arrested him at nights away to spend the evening in jail instead of getting a Bond Hearing the same day, theyre taking every aggressive step here that they can. So the government is going all out in the case only combs is actually named in this diamond. Does that give you an indication that folks inside his operation may be testifying against them or or do you expect others to soon be named . No question to me that the feds have gotten people to cooperate inside the organization and that theyre helping the feds out. Im sure they have pressured many people and say, were going to charge us as an organization, you better get on board so im sure they have folks inside. I bet they also charge others or at least pressure others and say were going to charge unless you help us. So we may not see the end of the indictment just yet. And david, how does the indictment impact water now, ten lawsuits against combs yes, of course, the civil lawsuits will try to piggyback onto this criminal case and say, look, theres criminal charges. Theyll want to see what happens first in the criminal case because if hes convicted, then their civil cases will be much stronger. But it seems like the criminal case, Piggyback A little on the first civil cases that were brought. And the settlement that was that was made. So i think Theres Cooperation between both the civil and the criminal attorney so far all right. David oscar marcus, weve learned a lot, but clearly theres a lot more to learn here. Thank you. We appreciate it. Thank you to the race now, for the White House, just two days after an apparent Assassinatioion Attempt on formr President Donald Trump, he and his rival Vice President Kamala Harris are visiting key battleground states, states that may very will decide who is going to to win in november. Weve got this covered from all angles. Lets start with former president s, campaigns, cnns Alaina Train is here with us alina trump, not slowing down despite the second attempt on his life thats right. He is moving forward with all of his scheduled campaign events. There have been no changes to that schedule in light of what unfolded on sunday. Now, i spoke with several donald hi, im senior Advisers Today and also of course, over the last eight hours or so. And they said, look, of course, theres going to be enhanced Security Measures this week. Yesterday, we know that the acting secret Service Director Ronald row, he met with many trump Officials Yesterday in florida, but he also met directly with the former president. I was told from people who are read out on that meeting that it was a cordial meeting. It was very short, but that real walked Donald Trump through different Security Options that they have and ones that they will make available to them. Now, trumps team says, there is expected to be enhanced security this week at these different events they wont go into detail into what those are. What of course makes sense. I mean, this is a very sensitive issue right now, but they did say keep your eye on tonight, Donald Trump will be in flint, michigan for a town hall. Its being moderated by arkansas governor sarah, how could be sanders . They said, keep an eye on that event. Youll maybe see some heightened Security Measures, especially for the reporters like me and Chris Holmes who are often on the events and we track these things. But later this week, hes also tomorrow, hes going to union dale, new york thursday. Hell be in washington, Dc Saturday North carolina. So still an aggressive schedule and just one thing though, i think i want to make very clear here, is that what were seeing now is Donald Trump acting very differently in light of what happened on sunday compared to what happened in the aftermath of butler, we saw back then that Donald Trump and his team had called for unity. Donald trump himself said that he was a changed man. This time. Hes been much more immediate and trying to cast its the blame on democrats and using the rhetoric of saying their rhetoric is what has led to some of these Assassination Attempts are apparent Assassination Attempts. And so i think youll hear a lot of that rhetoric this week. All right, alina, thank you for the update. Cnns Priscilla Alvarez is live in philadelphia where next our Vice President Kamala Harris, will be having a conversation with the national association of black journalist lets priscilla, what is the Harris Campaign seen ahead of this event the first time that we see the Vice President since that incident on sunday. Now we have heard from her through a statement, where she condemned political violence in the immediate aftermath of that attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, but also in a radian no interview, she said, quote, violence of any kind is unacceptable. Now, what we know from the campaign is that they do not want to make this political in any way, but it will be notable here are, from the Vice President directly on the stage here about this incident. Now, of course, this is an interview that follows one that in late july, that for President Donald Trump did with the national Well Association of black journalists, if you recall, it was then that the former president called into question the Vice President s racial identity now, up until this point, the Vice President has really chalk this up to the same old Tire Playbook by the former president. So well see if she goes any deeper on that today when put in a similar setting of the former president was in the campaign in their Focus Today is really on making an aggressive push for young voters on national Voter Registration day. They have announced plans to be on College Campuses this to be online, to try to get younger voters registered to vote and also backing their campaign. That will tell you that they are quite excited about endorsement that came in and over the last hour or by Billie Eilish she endorsed the Vice President s campaign and the campaign tells me they were aware that she was preparing to do that and that all of it is part of this broader effort to get younger voters registered to vote so now the Vice President later this week, also headed to michigan and wisconsin to states that president Joe Biden only narrowly won in 2020. So big push this week for Voter Registration, but also for her to have this unscripted moment here within National Association Of Black Journalists will make sure to bring you those remarks as they happen for Still Alvarez Life For Us and film adelphi. So florida governor Rhonda Santa is announced today that the state is launching its own investigation into the apparent attempted assassination of former President Trump. The Suspect 58yearold ryan wesley ralph, was already charged with two Gun Related Felonies yesterday in federal court. Today, though, does santas cast doubt on the federal Governments Ability to fairly investigate the threat to trump and says the state may be able to file stronger charges against the suspect. Cnns Carlos Suarez is with us now carlos, what do we know about this new Florida Investigation and the status of new potential charges since some of them seem pretty clear that they would be explicitly federal thats exactly right. Briana and boris, i think its important to know that the two gun related charges at the federal charges against the 58yearold were sought after by prosecutors, all in an effort to make sure that the accused here remains in jail as is it their investigation plays out. In other words, as that federal investigation continues, its possible that the 5th eightyearold would see more serious charges filed against him. Now, at a News Conference this morning in announcing the State Investigation our governor does santas said that the investigation is going to be head up by floridas attorney general, and that they could possibly go after right . Hi, in roof here on an attempted Murder Charge here, he said that the state of florida has a jurisdiction not only here in palm beach county, but as well as Martin County where are the accused was taken into custody here now is a bit of what the governor said ralph, is believed to have committed State Law violations across multiple judicial circuits in the State State of florida has jurisdiction over the most serious, straightforward offense, which has attempted murder so in the Governors Announcement this morning, he was also joined by the Sheriff Palm Beach county, as well as a Martin County and worth noting that both of these sheriffs are also working closely with the fbi, as well as the Secret Service and the federal investigation into what happened out here on sunday, Morris And Brianna all right. Carlos, thank you so much for that report. Now, we are following a developing story out of lebanon.
