This as were learning more about the Special Counsels other probe into election interference. So what did jack smith find in trumps twitter files . Also breaking, multiple arraignments this morning for alleged false electors in michigan. The charges they face in connection with the 2020 vote. Good to be with you. Its 10 00 eastern. Im Ana Cabrera Reporting from new york. We begin with the Breaking News out of hawaii this morning and the near apocalyptic scenes from the wildfires in maui. Authorities confirming that the death toll now stands at 36, an unfathomable number. As they say, it will still climb likely because Search And Rescue efforts are still underway at this hour. The pictures of the destruction on this island are just hard to wrap your brain around. The town of lahaina, a Historic Place in hawaii has been reduced to ashes. Nearly 300 homes and businesses now gone. My moms place is gone. My place is gone. Pretty much everybody i know lost everything that we have. I mean, i havent been able to assess, but everybody told me that front streets gone. Meteorologist Angie Lassman is standing by for us. First lets go to hawaii and nbc news correspondent dana griffin. So many people there just lost so much and the fires are still burning. Communications are still down, evacuations are still underway. I know youre at one of the shelters where people are trying to seek cover and comfort. Tell us what youre seeing and hearing right now. Good morning, ana, right now its about 4 00 in the morning. Were outside of Maui High School where about 3 to 400 evacuees slept here overnight. Everyone is devastated. A lot of people are still sleeping this morning. So we havent weve seen a few walking around. As you mentioned, this is just unprecedented and its devastating. People have lost loved ones. Theyve lost pets. Theyve lost homes. Some 300 plus businesses, homes, and landmarks are now destroyed. We are about 13 miles from the historic lahaina district, popular for tourists. This community fueled by the tourism industry. It is just devastating not only for people but also for the local economy. You know, yesterday just before sunrise when this fire really ripped through town, it forced people to evacuate. Some even had to jump into the ocean to get to safety. Heres one survivors story. I was the last one off the dock when the firestorm came through the banyon tree and took everything with it. I just ran out to the beach. Reporter at least a dozen people were pulled from the water. Some had to be flown to oahu for treatment at a burn center. Right now there are some 4,000 tourists that are trying to evacuate the island. Theyre planning to ship them out, put them up in buses and hopefully put them on planes to take them to another island. Right now the extent of the damage is unknown. We know that the Maui Fire Department is heading out at first light in about two hours to assess the damage and to also continue Search And Rescue. The number 36 fatalities likely to climb as they get out into those communities and see what else is left behind. Ana. Dana, just to be clear, are the fires now under control . Are they contained . Reporter well, thats the big question. They have not been able to assess that. It is nightfall. We know that they are still actively burning. They have not released any information on containment numbers, so hopefully well get those updated today. Thank you for the work youre doing there, and angie, we still dont know what exactly sparked the fires. We do know that Hurricane Winds and dry conditions really fueled them. Are conditions changing at all for the crews still battle . Theyre improving in short. Thats whats going to happen basically from now through the next couple of days. Well see those winds die down. We know the setup of those Pressure Systems that were to the North And South of the islands that really picked up those trade winds and brought them to gusts 50, even 60, close to 70 Miles Per Hour over the past 36 hours. The High Pressure to the north and hurricane to the south, theyre going to start to move away. With them those winds will start to lighten. That doesnt mean the winds are going to go down to zero. Well still likely see some breezy conditions in this area. It wont be quite as windy as it has been which of course made it a struggle for firefighters to get up in those helicopters to fight these fires. Over the next 24 hours these winds will start to subside. 38 Miles Per Hour here is what were calling for in the shortterm. By the time we get to this time tomorrow, say late into the overnight hours for thursday going into friday on the island, well see that come down to 10. Again, we could still see some gusty conditions, so maybe gusts as high as 20 Miles Per Hour. We know that its still fairly dry there. They have limited all of those Wind Warnings and fire warnings. Those have all come down. But we still are dealing with Drought Conditions in that area. Now, its not severe in the specific area that weve seen the worst of that damage. They do need the additional rainfall. This is fire season for them. The worst of their wildfires usually occur in august into september. So typical for this time of year. But of course all of those ingredients coming together with the really strong winds of those Pressure Systems sandwiching the island and bringing those winds up along with the dry conditions, the low humidity. If rain is on the way is the question. There is some passing showers. You saw it in part of danas shot there. Were going to see maybe a little more rain working on shore here over the next couple of days. No substantial amount of rain to battle that drought. It will help as far as the winds are concerned coming down over the next 24 hours. Really heartbreaking to see whats happening. Angie lassman, dana griffin, thank you. More Breaking News this hour, Donald Trumps codefendants in the classified documents case appearing in a courthouse in florida. Walt nauta and Carlos De Oliveira are set to enter pleas on new charges linked to a scheme to delete Surveillance Video at maralago. The former president has waived his appearance at this hearing. Also with us is nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken dilanian along with joyce vance, former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. So ken, what can we expect from todays Court Hearing . And explain why the former president was able to just waive his appearance. Former President Trump has been able to waive his appearance because hes already been arraigned in this case. This is a superseding indictment. Hes not required to appear to answer these latest charges. But the new codefendant, Carlos De Oliveira is required to appear. Walt nauta also expected to be there. If it does go forward, its a very standard, pro forma, routine kind of thing. We wouldnt be expected to learn much new about this case, which is a pretty dramatic expansion of the obstruction of Justice Charges in the classified documents cases. But its possible judge Aileen Cannon may address some of the other issues shes been raising lately including she criticized the Special Counsel and asked questions about a grand jury that it was using down here in d. C. To continue to investigate aspects of this case, and so we may see whether she theres also an issue about former President Trump requesting to view classified documents at his home in maralago. He wants the government to set up a special facility there where he can review the documents so he doesnt have to go to an fbi office. She may talk about that as with el. Well talk about that as well in just a second. Coming back to todays hearing, joyce, and these two codefendants, who will be appearing in court. Weve seen de oliveira have some problems getting a floridabased attorney. Do you think thats a legitimate issue for him . Are attorneys not wanting to be part of this case and his defense, or do you think this is a delay tactic . Well, there are a lot of attorneys, a lot of qualified Defense Attorneys in the Southern District of florida who would likely be delighted to be involved in a high profile case like this. So this looks more like delay than a legitimate search for an attorney, and at some point, the court can step in. They can even appoint Standby Counsel to handle the arraignment in the entry of his initial guilty plea, thats pro forma, and give him a deadline for finding an attorney. If he qualifies financially, the court might go ahead and appoint one for him. So trump asking the Justice Department to reestablish a secure facility in maralago so he and his lawyers can safely discuss classified documents. We know he had what they call a scif at maralago during his presidency. Joyce, does this seem like a reasonable request . Its not a reasonable request. For one thing, this is trump asking for Special Treatment that no other defendant would get. No one gets a scif built in their home or in this case i suppose their hotel when theyre involved in this sort of litigation for a lot of obvious reasons including cost, and yet again, time and delay. For trump this is a particularly disingenuous request because a federal judge does not have the ability to order the Intelligence Community to locate one of these highly secure facilities in a specific place, and its easy to understand just the lunacy of the notion that someone whos accused of Mishandling Documents would be entrusted with a scif. It would require 24hour surveillance to maintain its integrity and even then the Intelligence Community might have very legitimate concerns about doing Something Like this in this particular location. So this is a request thats Out Of Bounds in all regards. Ken, lets pivot to jack smiths other investigation into election interference. What more do we know about the Special Counsel obtaining a Search Warrant apparently in 2020 for Donald Trumps twitter account . Yeah, we learned that yesterday for the first time it had been secret since he applied for and obtained that Search Warrant in january of this year, and he also got an order against twitter that twitter not reveal the existence of that Search Warrant to donald trump and his legal team. Now, twitter contested that. They delayed and they were ordered to pay a 350,000 fine as a result. So we are seeing an appellate decision in that case that revealed the existence of this warrant and the decision does not tell us had what material jack smith was seeking. It tells us that he had probable cause to believe there was evidence of a Crime Associated with that twitter account, and look, we all know that twitter accounts are public, right . You can go online and look and read Donald Trumps now dormant twitter account, but whats not public are any direct messages that were sent by or to that account, potentially drafts of tweets that were not sent and metadata and other kinds of data associated with the account that might show whether he was tweeting from a phone or a computer. All that kind of information could be relevant to jack smiths investigation, ana. This was a Search Warrant in 2023, i think i misspoke, said 2020, obviously they were looking at his behavior and what he was doing on twitter in 2020. So joyce, why would they need this Search Warrant, though, when trumps tweets are all out there for the world to see, and what do you make of the Special Counsel getting permission to not tell trump that they were obtaining this Search Warrant . Right, so ana, ken has the most important detail here, which is that in order to get this Search Warrant, the government had to convince a federal judge that there was probable cause to believe that they would find evidence of crimes when they obtained the information about the twitter account, and that would seem to point directly to the direct messages that trump either sent or received in twitter. We know that he infamously does not text. That leaves open the question of whether he dms, but its possible that they could be based on information that they got in searching other peoples telephones or other peoples cell phones have decided that there would be information inside of the former president s account that would be revealing about some of the elements of the crimes they have to prove. This Nondisclosure Order suggests that this is anything but routine. If all the government was trying to do was authenticate trumps tweets or get surface level information, they wouldnt be entitled to the Nondisclosure Order. This is a very telling detail. Okay, well hope to learn more. Thank you so much, joyce vance and ken dilanian. I appreciate the conversation. When were back this just 60 seconds, multiple arraignments in michigan this morning for people charged in that states fake electors scheme. What we know about the allegations.

More Breaking News, this morning out of michigan, where the arraignments for the majority of people charged in the fake elector scheme are happening right now. Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel Announing the charges last month alleging the defendant signed paperwork falsely claiming donald trump had won the 2020 election and that they would cast the states official electoral votes for him. And of course that would be when the Electoral College certified the results. Some of this evidence that was uncovered here you may recall came out during the house january 6th committees work. So far the seven people who have already entered their pleas all have pleaded not guilty so far. Joining us now from outside that courthouse in lansing is nbc news correspondent shaq brewster. Shaq, seems like a lot of activity, these backtoback arraignments. Hows the court navigating this . Reporter theyre relatively quick proceedings that weve been witnessing and theyve been mostly happening via zoom, the judge there in person but the defendants appearing via zoom. We saw the judge read through the counts, eight Felony Counts that all of them are facing. We heard the judge read through their rights. At this hour all 16 defendants have pleaded not guilty. The attorney general is arguing these defendants attempted to defraud the state of michigan by signing a certificate of votes that would have, if accepted, given the states 16 electoral votes to donald trump instead of joe biden who earned the most votes in this state, but ive been talking to the defendants rather than their attorneys, and theyre saying this is a political prosecution at worse and a stretch of the law at best. Theyre saying that despite the signatures that you saw, that was never a document that was intended to be used, despite it being sent to the national archives. Listen to a little bit of one of the conversations i had with one of the attorneys. It was just sent it was signed and sent to washington, d. C. , just in case Something Else came up . Its to preserve an objection. It was not to supersede the certificate of election that was sent, so no one really would think in their
