fani willis wrote a scathing letter to jim jordan. >> trump's lawyers are signaling they may ask to move his case to federal court. >> a federal trial wouldn't have the press and media transparency. that would be a more broad jury pool. >> he was convicted on contempt of congress. >> this is not a landmark case. there was no indication of executive privilege. >> the manhunt for the escaped murder is heating up. they are confirming another sighting of danelo cavalcante. >> they did tell employees to shelter in place. this perimeter keeps changing. >> he gets more dangerous because he gets more desperate. >> this should have never happened. >> it was part of an exploration mission. he suffered internal bleeding. he's in stable condition. >> 150 people from around the world are working to get him out of the cave. >> i'm not healed on the inside yet, so i'm going to need a the lot of help to dpet out of here. the united auto workers unit nonis a week away of a possible strike. >> this is overwhelming with the [ bleep ] that the big three continue to peddle. >> what would be the second largest labor strike in a quarter century. >> september 14th is a deadline, not a reference point. good morning, everyone. we are so glad you're with us. the president is overseas for a big trip, and a big fight that's going to get a lot more attention between that big union and this white house. >> i would predict it's about to become the biggest story in the country, and the white house is cognizant of and plugged in on. there's a lot of other news this morning. we're going to get to that. but we could see the full report from the fulton county special grand jury that investigated election subversion in georgia. one that led to the indictment of former president trump and 18 co-defendants. we have been waiting for this for months. but this is different than the grand jury that returned those indictments last month. >> this is a special grand jury that investigated efforts to overturn the 2020 election last year and recommended charges grand jurors heard from witnesses over seven months. in february, nine pages were released, but not the charging recommendations because a judge wanted to protect people's due process rights. the foreperson of that special grand jury dropped a lot of information when she talked to kate bolduan. remember this? >> there are indictments recommended. is it more than 12 people? more than 20 people? >> i think if you look at the page numbers of the report, there's about six pages in the middle that got cut out. allow for spacing, it's not a short list. >> did you recommend charges against donald trump? >> we definitely heard a lot about form president trump and we definitely discussed him a lot in the room. and i will say that when this list comes out, you wouldn't -- there are no major plot twists waiting for you. >> so today we'll learn how closely this report lines up with the indictments that were handed down last month and we'll learn if special grand jurors wanted to indict more people. this comes as trump tells the judge he may try to move his case into federal court. the same thing husband former chief of staff mark meadows is trying to do. >> here to walk us through what happens next is elie honig. not sure when you're sleeping at this point. you were still on tv last night, but it underscores there's been so many moving parts and developments over the course of this week. can you start with where we stand in the probe? >> any time you indict 19 defendants, you're going to have a degree of chaos. every defendant has his own self-interest. now importantly, this week, two of the defendants have invoked their speedy trial rights. their trial has to start before november of this year. now the question this week before the judge was will they be tried together or separately. we call it severance. the arguments we heard gave us clarity about what might be argued at trial. chesebro argued this is a bunch of conspiracies charged together. he denies the charges, but i'm only charged in this piece. sidney powell is only charged in this piece of it. so they said, we're charged with separate things. we need to be tried separate lu. the da's office shot back and said, no, this is all one big rico enterprise. you're all part of it. you should be tried together. the judge sided with the d.a. so these two will be tried together and soon. the other question, what happens with the other 17. there's going to be a line here. the d.a.'s office said we want to try all together. the judge didn't quite rule on this. he said he's very skeptical that they would be able to try all 19. it looks like he's going to split them out. a nice tactical advantage for trump and whoever goes second because they get to sit back and watch the first trial and pick up all pointers about the government's strategy. >> when it comes to fani willis' case, we learned some things this week and also about some timelines. >> during the hearing a, the d.a.'s office said they are going to call 150 witnesses. we could learn who many of them are when we see the grand jury report later today. the judge asked the d.a., how long would it take your office to try all 19 of these together. the ada said four months, but a couple big qualifiers. that does not include jury selection, which takes many months. the judge said it could take double that. no matter how we slice it, we're looking at a trial that could take one year. >> you have to ask because every single day we have been waiting for something related to mark meadows' case. we're still waiting. but it is coming. and soon. >> any moment is an accurate description. meadows is trying to get his case into federal court. was he acting under color of his federal office as the chief of staff. the judge has the briefs. jeffrey clark has made the same motion. and trump told us he may make the same motion. i think he want wants to see how it goes for meadows. big question here, if one of these people gets over to federal court, does everyone else go with him or is it one by one? the answer is we don't have an answer. we say unprecedented. that question is unprecedented. obviously, going to have huge implications. one other thing, no matter what happens with that removal question is going to get appealed. it's going to take many months. we need to wait here in the state to see if everyone is going to go federal or not. it's all connected. >> all connected. a lot of open questions. thank you. this morning, former trump adviser peter noavorro is the latest to be convicted. a jury found him guilty of two counts of contempt on thursday for refusing to turn over documents to that panel. he will appeal on executive privilege grounds. sara murray joins us now. even though that panel no longer exists, it was disbanded by house republicans, it matters if you don't respond to congressal inquiries. >> it does matter. especially if they decide to pursue criminal contempt of congress charges against you, as they did with peter navorro. it was a short trial with a short deliberation. it was a quick verdict for the jury to find him guilty of criminal contempt of congress, peressentially finding he defie subpoenas from the house committee that had investigated january 6th. in some ways, this was not a surprise. many of the defenses available to peter navorro were neutered u which the judge did not let him put forward saying the evidence ahead of this trial was pretty weak sauce. unsurprisingly, peter navorro is out there trying to spin what happened in court. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i was not tried for con tmt of congress today. that's not what the trial was about. if any of you sat in the trial, you saw the opening argument. you saw the opening argument of the attorney for the prosecution. he didn't -- he didn't argue the case on contempt. he said that i was responsible for the january 6th in insurrection. which is totally without fact. >> just to be clear, he was tried for criminal contempt of congress. his sentencing is set for january of 2024. >> we saw when the charges were brought against him, navorro says he's going to appeal. >> that's right. steve bannon, just to give idea of sentencing, was sentenced to four months behind bars and a fine. but he's still a free man because the judge decided he could stay out of jail awaiting appeal. we may see something similar for peter navorro. we may see him appeal based on that executive privilege argument. and it's very possible that whatever sentence the judge hands down, he lets peter navorro stay a free man while this plays out. >> thank you so much. happening right now a gun salute is taking place at hyde park in london as the uk remembers queen elizabeth on the first anniversary of her death. she served as a beloved monarch for 70 years. prince william and kate plan to visit the cathedral for a small private service. king charles is marking the occasion with an official statement saying this about his mother. we recall her long life, devoted service and all ship meant to so many of us. flags will fly to mark the king's asession day anniversary. this morning an offer from general motors not going over well with united auto workers un union. why the union calls that offer insulting, next. plus the south dakota governor is expected to endorse donald trump today and that's prompting rumors aboutut her ro in the white house. buy one pair, geget one free for r back to school. visiononworks. see the difference. - [narrator] we just signed the lease on our third shop. my assistant went to customink.com to get new uniforms with all the locations. he found great products, uploaded new art, and had boxes sent to all the shops. custom ink makes it so easy. get started today at customink.com. ♪ ♪ wake up, gotta go! c'mon, c'mon. -gracie, c'mon. let's go! guys, c'mon! mom, c'mon! mia!

>> this is what gm offered yesterday. it's very far apart from what the union wants. they want a 40% pay raise. we know that in negotiations, sides can be very far apart and deals can can come together at the last minute, but we don't see very often is a union so resilient in the fact that they are willing to go on strike against all three big auto makers, something we have never seen before. >> are you ready to rumble? >> reporter: there's a showdown in detroit. >> what do we want? >> reporter: the uaw is less than a week away from a possible strike against the big three auto makers. general motors, ford and teeing up what would be the second largest u.s. labor strike in a quarter century. uaw says their demands have not been met waiting a month on new proposals. >> what i'm going to do is file it in its proper place. because that's where it belongs. the trash. >> tensions have been high between the two sides. the union representing 145,000 workers at the three auto makers even filed unfair labor practice complaints against gm and ste listen fits, accusing them of not bargaining in good faith, which they deny. >> it impacts all of us. they say to stop wasting our members time. ford sent a new offer uaw is reviewing. the union called the previous proposal an insult. ste lance fits will have a counter by the end of the week. >> this is overflowing with the [ bleep ] that the big three continue to peddle.by the end o. >> this is overflowing with the [ bleep ] that the big three continue to peddle. >> reporter: the last strike in 2019 against general motors cost the company $2.9 billion over 6 weeks. a strike against all three could mean $5 billion in losses in just 10 days. >> we respect their process and are hopeful they are going to go through some hard issues and come to an agreement that's a win-win. >> reporter: president biden and the acting labor secretary have stayed out of negotiations, but biden appointed trusted white house adviser jeanne spurling to keep tabs. despite talks coming down to the wire, the president said he believes a strike can be avoided. the union has some ambitious demands, asking for a 40% pay raise over the course of the 4-year contract, restoring cost of living increases and pension plans for all workers. >> they have had our demands from the outset. we told them we expect to get there by september 14th. that's a deadline, not a reference point. >> reporter: as the big three pivot to electric vehicles, they are planning ten new battery plnts not under uaw contracts. the union is hoping these next contracts protect their members in the future. >> workers can't be left behind in this transition. you're talking about 20% of the power train workers in the big three that stand to lose their jobs down the road if we go from engines to battery power. >> there's no question that electric vehicles are the future of auto manufacturering and this is why you have president biden announcing the investment of $15 billion to retool factories, try to retrain workers, rehire workers in that capacity. but the president has a little bit of a conundrum. there's not a lot he can do to make sure there's no strike, but the president is dealing with high inflation. folks are not confident in his ability to bring inflation down and to run the economy, but at the same time, he does need to let this play out. he has no control, a strike could be devastated for the u.s. economy, something that president biden does not need. he's a pro union president. this is what he wants to see this process playing out. >> that will be tested. great reporting. thank you for staying on this. >> watch that space. on the democratic side, sources tell cnn when it comes to the republican side kristi noem is expected to endorse president trump at a rally in her home state today. fueling speculation about the role she may play in trump's campaign. here's what she told newsmax. >> absolutely. just because you respect the position and the person who asks you to do something, and then see if you really believe that you could make a difference. >> she initially distanced herself from trump after last fall's midterm. she said at that time, she didn't believe he offered the best chance for the field in 2024. now she's clearly changed her mind with a lot more on that in the big picture. let's bring in michael smer smer skonish. she didn't feel he was going to lead so widely in the polls. what's more interesting here is that is this being treated as a done deal, trump's going to be the nominee and it's on to who is the number two on the ticket going to be? >> you're exactly right. the bigger picture issue here is the perception and how it benefits donald trump, because we're already now evaluating who might be his number two. i maintain that a lot of people on that stage in the initial gop debate are actually running for vice president. vivek ramaswamy is at the top of the list. maybe tim scott, maybe nikki haley. kristi noem is making it very clear she's up for the gig, and yet she's not putting herself in a position where she's on that stage and like the rest of them, having to raise a hand on a question like, even if he's con convicted, will you stood before. she's being automobile to go unskaited in many respects, and yet still be touted as an available number two if trump should select her. >> the democratic side, we obviously had a poll yesterday on the current president. joe biden, had a lot of red flags. majority don't think he inspires confidence or helped the economy or have concerns about his age. you're good at stepping back and giving the bigger picture. when you look through the numbers, what stood out to you? >> you just talked about the potential for a big three auto maker strike. that sort of issue may arise. other things are going to come and go, domestic front or global scale. but that which ails the president most according to every other poll, that's of significant. the cnn poll is not an outlier. it's consistent with so much other data. what ails him the most can't be fixed. it's the age issue. if there are considerations or concerns about his age at 80, he's going to have to sell his ability to be 86 he leaves and still in command. i don't know how he can can get around that. so i maintain he needs a competitive democratic nomination process the best thing for him is to have competition, get on a debate stage, and don't just mean with rfk jr., but including him, let them all come and fight for it. because only then will he be able to convince that he really can go the distance. >> michael, age is certainly driving this in the polls, but van jones yesterday said something really interesting. this is about coughs and check engine lights. he meant how close americans are to the brink on bills like if you have a cough and can't afford to go to the doctor. if you have a car and the check engine light is blinking and you feel like you don't have the thousand dollars to get it assessed or fixed. it made me look at it in a different lens, that even though these economic numbers look good on the surface for the president, if the american people don't feel it, does it matter? >> he's definitely has a problem in selling the accomplishments that he's achieved. at least in the minds of democrats. there are a litany of things he can properly take credit for. the infrastructure bill, holding together the coalition in the face of a russian invasion of ukraine, putting the economy back after the pandemic was brought to a close, there are many things on that list that he's deserving of credit for. that's what i'm trying to say, but somehow to van's point, that hasn't been sold yet. the american people don't recognize it. maybe it's because of the aforementioned age issue they are not going to be sold because of the meperception that they have. >> michael smerconish, thank you. definitely watch on saturdays at 9:00 a.m. eastern. apologizing to tonight show staff after a report that staffers accused him of fostering an unhealthy work environment. how a sheriffs dep
