Property, no doubt. What else are they doing . How nervous are californians about this, guam . Alex, Today Is The Day to prepare for people here in Southern California. , so you have a mix of people who are concerned, and others that arent really preparing, because they say they live in an area that doesnt flood. Others dont really know what to do. So, possible flooding. California is an area that has a lot of hills of not. And so, people who live in low areas understands what can happen when they get a lot of rain. But people that ive spoken to tell me they have no idea what a Tropical Storm means in terms of that rain. Some of received say they might gets about a years worth of rain in just a few hours. So, they just know it might be an overwhelming amount of water. You see some of the people who are collecting sandbags. Theres locations like this set up all over San Diego County for people in those low areas who, months ago, experienced a lot of rain in california and now the properties cant flood. Heres part of the conversation i had with a resident about the way she is preparing. We are just making sure to prepare for the worst, because we dont know what the hurricane can cause. It could cause, you, no our electricity to go out. It can cause it to happen for him who knows how long . So were going to be stocking up on food, extra water, just so in case that this happen, were going to be prepared. This is something you hear going on in florida, not california so, i dont think anybody is really prepared for the hurricane. And, of course, another concern for authorities in Southern California are the people who live on the streets. California has an issue with the homeless population, both in San Diego County and los angeles county. So, authorities are trying to move people, especially those that camp in the river banks are in lower areas, move them to other areas, where they could be protected from this possible flooding. Meanwhile, the message for individuals that are trying to prepare as best as possible is to get sandbags. Its locations like this to protect the property from that flooding. Also, by water, buy food, enough for a few days, and then have your alerts set up on your phone, something weve been discussing. Make sure that if you live in an area effective, make sure you know where to go on your phone to get the latest information, which, by the way, the latest news indicates the storm is moving a little faster. So some of that rain and those possible floods could begin earlier on sunday, at least here, in the san diego area. At that, we just learned, by looking at our phones and getting those alerts. So, its very important that everyone use their phone to get those alerts for the next few days, as these warnings remain in effect, alex. You know, quote . Can i ask you to take a quick check of the skies there . I want to tell our viewers on here in los angeles, a bit north of where you are. Crystal clear skies. Absolutely beautiful. I was pulling into the studio here, and i thought, what Tropical Storm . But you are closer there. Are the skies cloudy . I mean, is it showing evidence that its on its way . It is cloudy here today. But alex, i was here yesterday, i started speaking to residents and it was hot. It was 82 degrees. I was sweating. It was a beautiful summer day here. Hard to believe the storm is on its. Way we do have a lot of clouds here today, san diego is known for having what they call the marine layer. So, it often gets cloudy like this. So, this is common in san diego but it is a beautiful day. You know, temperatures in the 70s, if feels no likes to be outside. You wouldnt think that the storm is on the way. But yeah, it is, and by tomorrow, we be seeing the rain. We have a conversation with a lot of individuals. Thats exactly what theyre telling me. There is no way it can be that bad. Look how nice it is outside. And some of the people have told me, they are going to stick to their Weekend Plans until they see that rain. But again, its the fact that people here have never experienced a Tropical Storm. , so you really dont know whats coming. Yeah. I want to thank joe, our director, he put up a really beautiful shot of mission bay, but you can see its definitely cloudier. Its that kind of june gloom, except here we are in august. That is very typical down there. Okay, guad. Thank you so much for keeping an eye on things. We appreciate. That were going to go from there now to the big political stories of the day, with a new report which says the fbi is now investigating threats against Georgia Grand jurors after their addresses were leaked online. Were going to have a report on that for you in, just a moment. Nbc news is reporting that trump will surrender to atlantas Rice Street Jail by the end of next week. The deadline to do so is friday, august 25th. Also new today, trump says he will skip the first gop debate. Thats according to two sources familiar with his thinking. That decision is already drawing criticism from his rivals voters in New Hampshire we live in a monarchy, and hes okay . Youve got some issues hes hiding. And all, the [interpreter] weekend, it is fight over the 2020 election could help President Biden in 2024. Heres what New Hampshire governor, chris sununu said earlier about it today. The fact that his entire campaign is based on trying to read a litigate what happened years ago, to bring an opportunities of how working to change the country going forward. So, its successful, playing the victims, that victim card, more indicted and all of that. Weve got reporters and analysts in place covering all these new developments for you. So, right now, we are going to be with nbcs ali vitale, in atlanta. Ali, my friends, welcome, give me the latest on the great latest trajectory look investigation. How did this happen . Well, look. Certainly a lot of concern about this, alex. Because the jurors names were on the form that were put out last week, one reason that mans first went out. But of course, their personal information was not a part of that. Thats why when this fringe website initially posted their information, there was a lot of concern. Its why were seeing the fbi here in atlanta put out a statement that reads, in part, they are looking into this. There is a high degree of concern about it, and each and every potential threat, they say, that is brought to their attention is being taken seriously. Of course, any individuals found responsible for making threats in violation of state and or federal laws will be prosecuted. Certainly, that is something we are going to continue seeing, and look into us the week progresses. You mentioned the fact that the former president , one of the 19 people total who were indicted as part of the Fulton County d. A. s investigation last week, you mentioned that they have until friday to come forward. Our sources telling us that trump probably wont do that until the latter part of this coming week. But of course, it doesnt mean that is not still an active conversation here on the ground in Fulton County. Specifically including the governor of this state, brian kemp, who regularly found himself in trumps crosshairs. The aftermath of the 2020 election loss, and now, speaking out again about it now. Watch. During the whole 2020 election, there was a lot of things, i said a lot of things done, and i follow the law and the constitution. I was subpoenaed for the special grand jury, so, im sure i will be a witness in whatever goes forward. I really cant say much about the indictment. One thing is certain about these indictments, and in my mind, in my opinion, this trial, despite what they, to, my asking for, it is not going to happen. Before the election. Now, we know that the dea, in this case, fani willis asked for this case to start in early march. Right before Super Tuesday elections. Of course, we have watched other prosecutors, alex. Because this is the fourth of that meant of the former president. We watched them try to lay out their ideal calendar, and then, weve watched the Trump Legal Team continued to push back on that, trying to speed the timeline later into the primary or even into the general election season of next year. It means it could be a very busy year, not just on a nominating schedule, but also in terms of the ways the former president will be out on the Campaign Trail and back in the courtroom, all of the states floating around. The only ones that are for certain are the days voters are going to be voting and what is increasingly looking like, voters will have voted in many of these places while these cases are still actively ongoing. Or, for the trials have even kicked off. Oh, so they are trying to use the traffic legal tactic of delay, delay, delay . Yeah, okay. Ali, appreciate that. Just that of, course. A different one, though, we have to talk about, mark meadows did it in that the former president and Rudy Giuliani are reportedly considering it. Whats behind a new move in the georgia rico case, plus, what is fueling this headline about donald Trump Testing the tolerance of justice and his little lawyers. Were back in 60 seconds.

One pressing question following the new georgia rico indictment is whether any of trumps trials will happen before the November 2024 election. Trumps very crowded calendar of key gop nomination dates and other civil and criminal trials next year highlights the challenges and complicating matters, the Supreme Court could weigh in with reports trump will try to move his case to federal court. The georgia one, that. Is following former Chief Of Staff, mark meadows, who is simultaneously pushing for an outright dismissal. Joining me now, christie greenberg, former deputy chief of the Southern District of new yorks criminal division, and hugo lowell, political investigations reporter with the guardian. Its good to see you both. Kristie, a former federal prosecutor, what is your best read on timing here . Which trial should go first, and which one do you think prosecutors could wrap up the festus . So, i think the first trial can and should be jack smiths january 6th case. I think that will go in the first half of 2024. Obviously, theres been briefing on those sides with very different trial dates for post for that one. With jack smiths Team Proposed in january of 2024, which seems like an aggressive schedule. Thats the discovery is only going to be substantially complete at the end of august, that would give the trump team really about a month or so to review what is the luminous discovery. So, that seems a little ambitious. But trump proposing April Of 2026 also was just complete delay strategy and posturing. Looking at the schedule he proposed, there is just fears of time or theyre just having stands us conference with nothing being done. And i dont think the judge is going to tolerate it. Really, i do think the first half of 2024 is realistic to get that trial done. Because not only is it in the defendants interest to have a speedy trial, even if this particular defendant doesnt want one, more importantly, its in the Public Interest. This is a former president at the current president ial candidate who is being charged with trying to steal an election and overturn the results of the election. Its in the Public Interest to have that trial, have a resolution, before the election. Okay, you make your case very well there, kristy. What about this with meadows being first to file, notice of removal of his case to federal court. A judge has granted him a hearing on august 28th. Has georgia christy, Lost The Meadows case and does he get to escape booking and arraignment there . Or can georgia make its case to get it back and on what grounds does he asked for his case to be dismissed outright . I know its a lot of questions, but just half at. It sure, so, as of now, he is still a defendant in the case before the Georgia State court. So, he will need to be arraigned on the indictment, and processed to justice any of the other defendants would. As to his motion to remove his case to a federal court, he would have to be able to show and what hes argument in his motion, all of his conduct that is charged in the indictment was all part of his official duties as Chief Of Staff to the president. And i think that is a very challenging argument for him to make. If you look at the acts that are in the indictment, meadows is saying, well i was doing was setting up meetings. I was participating in phone, calls i was setting things up for the president in my role as Chief Of Staff. But when you look at what hes doing, hes doing a lot more than that. He is you know, and trump requested a memo from an individual that had a disrupt and delayed the certification of the count. That is not an accident that our Chief Of Staff is engaged in. That is an act of the campaign. He sent the text to the Georgia Secretary Of StateChief Investigator about ways the campaign could assist financially in speeding up the Fulton County signature verification process. Again, nothing to do with his role as the Chief Of Staff. That is squarely in the role of someone assisting with the campaign. And then you have his participation on the socalled perfect call on january 1st. The Georgia Secretary Of State. Where, he moves, he was seeking on that call to get information for data that would support their claims of Election Fraud. Again, none of that relates to his official duties, so i think he will lose this notion, and i think it will remain in state court. Wow, what are, you some kind of prosecutor . And listening to this going, she just made the whole case. Let me just ask a quick question to you, who go. Trump giuliani have indicated they want to do the same thing, try to bounce this from the state court in georgia to federal court. Will that happen . Well, giuliani at that point was acting as trumps personal lawyer. So, im not sure how he is going to make an argument that he was acting in some official capacity that would yield you know, federal jurisdiction here. , so i would be curious to see what that motion looks like. It doesnt seem like a has legs to me, and as to the president again, i think its the same argument. What he was doing, you, know in trying to stop the count of the electoral votes, that was not anything he was doing in his official duties as president. Those are all things that he was doing to try to campaign and extend his campaign as a candidate. So again, i dont see any of us getting removed to federal courts. You go, you tweeted about trump canceling his big events where he promised to show evidence of Election Fraud. Are you learning why he changed his mind . Did he actually take legal advice or was this another example of similar promises to show proof of something that he didnt keep in the past . Yeah, the way thats been described to me in the last few days, was one of the members on the Campaigns Communications team kind of free arms and ideas to trump without telling the rest of the campaign about holding this Press Conference like he did in kind of the previous indictments at bedminster. And the proposal from its harrington was to kind of present evidence or research that she had compiled about supposed Election Fraud in georgia. When lawyers heard about it, it was a terrible idea, because it caused problems in court down the road, especially if trump is now the one espousing it or giving his voice to some of these claims, but then also his own campaign thought it was a crazy idea, because they would have to start prepping for that, and theres no real upside. Of the combination of the lawyers and the Campaign Staff didnt know about it, and were opposed to it, kind of ultimately killed that. Kristie, is Trump Testing will limits of not just judges, but even his own legal team . If so, what are the dangers of him doing that . Well, i think Trump Lawyers know what theyve gotten into with this particular client. Maybe not
