Challenges is, as you pointed out, that cases are actually on the rise where we are here in tulsa. And in the state of oklahoma. But tulsa is really leading the charge. More populous parts of the state do not have as many cases as they do here. And Health Officials have been warning that this kind of event, 19,000 people inside an arena, indoors, not Wearing Masks largely, weve seen very few people wearing the masks that theyve been giving out, its a potential for this virus to spread just from one or two or a few people who might not even know they are infected. The other problem for a lot of these folks is that theyre coming from all over the country. Theyre going to if they do become infected here, they may very well take the virus back to their home towns to their families. But by and large, what you hear here from the supporters is that, to them, the most important thing is to be able to show support to President Trump at this particular time. Theyre taking their cues from him about whether or not this rally is something that is safe for them to do or a relative acceptable risk for them to take. Theyre also taking their cues from him about whether or not to wear a mask. Remember, President Trump has personally not worn a mask and has used mask wearing as a liability against his political opponents and his supporters agree with that assessment. Many of them are simply saying, its just, for them, something that they dont feel like they have to do. So, abby, youve got your mask on and you reported earlier that theyre dispensing masks as well as these, you know, clear kind of face shields. But then we also knew that reportedly they were going to be taking temperatures. Is any of that happening . Is there are people taking advantage of Hand Sanitizer . Are there any precautions that people are taking advantage of as they enter . Well, there are going to be. So as people are as people are walking in, theyre going to be handed masks. Now, the face shields seem to be something that an individual has taken upon themselves to hand those out to. But inside the arena, theyre going to be theyre also going to be given Hand Sanitizer from the campaign. And then the Management Company for the arena has also said they will have hundreds of Hand Sanitizer stations all over that arena. You know, to keep in mind here, inside the arena theyre going to have concession stands. People are going to be eating and drinking. The arena themselves theyre concerned about making sure that as they are providing services to people who are in there that they are also taking Health Precautions for their employees as well. So its not really clear what is going to happen. They have just started streaming into that arena. Its not clear yet, well know in a few hours whether people are going to don their masks once that room gets more crowded. Whether they will be using Hand Sanitizer thats available to them. But just the attitudes that weve heard so far seem to indicate that many people say or believe that they are personally at less risk and they personally are willing to take on whatever risk there may be. And what about weve been reporting all week these signed waivers, essentially people saying, you know, if they were to get sick, they wouldnt sue the Trump Organization or the white house. Whos collecting those and is that really the case that they are being collected . People signed waivers . Well, you know, its really not clear what kind of, you know, protection that gives anyone. But when you rsvpd to this rally and requested a ticket, you had to check a box that said i agree to this waiver that says im not going to sue President Trump or the campaign. Real questions, though, about whether that is actual that actually has any kind of legal force. And secondly, i mean, one of the concerns that ive heard locally from officials here is does that actually protect the bok center which is hosting this event which has canceled a lot of other events all summer because of the coronavirus. If someone does get sick, will any of these parties be held liable . Its really very much unclear. And i think that this is going to be one of those open questions going forward, who was responsible and can that responsibility simply be waived away by just checking a box online when you request an rsvp or a ticket. All right, abby, thank you so much in tulsa. As many Trump Supporters in tulsa show little concern about packing, you know, all these bodies into the arena there for the president s rally, the manager of major factory in the area is taking a much more cautious approach in order to keep his employees safe. Here now is cnns gary tuchman. Reporter Trump Supporters started lining up for his tulsa rally days ago. Plus i want to be front row, front and center. Reporter the daily number of new covid cases is skyrocketing in tulsa county, at the highest level yet. Thousands of people will be inside this arena and outside it for many hours. Masks are being given out. But theyre not required to be worn, and social distancing is not mandatory. I have absolutely no no concern whatsoever. It just doesnt concern me at all. Reporter rallygoers must agree not to hold the Trump Campaign responsible if they contract covid, which is not a red floog anyoag we talk to her do i french kiss anybody . No. But when i can stand and went to a dinner house and the lady says you want more coffee, i felt normal. Normal. Nothing about this concerns you . None. Zero. Reporter but in this very same city, why did you decide to close this place . Well, its for the safety of our employees. Rodney is the manager of the nava star school blus plant be in tulsa where 1400 people work. Last year we were the number one market share of Building School buses in america. Reporter he shut down his plant this week. Confirmed covid cases have been rapidly climbing over the past couple weeks. I purchased 1400 covid kits. Reporter earlier this week all the employees who are still being paid were told to come in to get tested. Based on the results, the decision will be made how long the plant has to stay closed. When its operating, nearly 300 buses are made here each week. Lots of money is being lost. But the plant manager says this was the responsible decision in an increasingly vulnerable city. Ive got to make sure people are safe. Reporter this is one of his people, a husband and father of three. I think it was the right decision and for our safety, not only my safety, but the safety of my family because i fwlang ho bring that home if i do get it. With thousands of people in this arena, many or most without masks, how worried are you about a dramatic spike in cases in this county . You know, in any event with people not Wearing Masks were concerned. But with this many people, thousands of people . Were concerned. People coming together without taking precautions is what causes the virus to transmit. It gives the virus the ability to transfer from person to person. Of course were concerned. Because im not going to get it. Im not going to give it to someone else. Reporter how do you know that . Its the same thing if you get a damn cold. One city, two completely different visions. A factory where people are relieved not to be inside because of the health threat, and an upcoming rally where people cant wait to get inside despite the health threat. Reporter the plant manager says hes prepared for the possibility of many more of his employees testing positive. We take it seriously and it will continue to drive our energies until we drive it thought of plant. Reporter gary tuchman, cnn, tulsa, oklahoma. And now to this Major Development in the legal standoff over an explosive book on the Trump Administration. A federal judge now ruling that former National Security adviser john boltons book can hit store shelves blocking a Trump Administration push to stop its release. Lets go now to the white house and cnns kristen holmes. The president is claiming this a victory even though boltons book will be available to all. Reporter thats right. It will be available for publication and for people to purchase as early as tuesday at book stores. The reason the president is calling this a victory is because of the other points that the judge made. While, he said, that the Justice Departments arguments were not enough to stop the book, he also slammed bolton from pushing through this publication, getting that done without the proper approval from the white house. And he left the door open for potential charges or punishments down the road. In fact, he said if there is classified information in the book, that bolton could lose profits, that he could exposed to criminal liability. And then, of course, that this could be in peril to in peril to National Security or in peril of National Security. A lot of stuff here town pack. President trump, as you said, is saying this is a victory. He says that Big Court Win against bolton. Obviously with the book already out and leaked to many people and the media, nothing the highly respected judge could have done about stopping it. But strong and powerful statements and rulings on money and on breaking classification were made. Bolton broke the law and has been called out and rebuked for so doing with a really big price to pay. Im going to stop there because the other part is unclear what hes talking about. Boltons own attorney has issued a statement, we want to pull that up. He says we welcome todays decision by the court denying the governments attempt to suppress ambassador boltons book. We respectfully take issue, however, with the courts preliminary conclusion that the early stage of the case that ambassador bolton did not fully comply with his contractual prepublication obligation to the government. And the case will now proceed to development of the full record of that issue. The full story of these events has yet to be told, but it will be. Very clear here this is just the beginning, that is the attorney is saying the story is still going to be told, but right now we do know that that book will be out. They do have permission to put that out there on tuesday. All right. Thank you so much. All right. Still ahead, a standoff between the u. S. Attorney general bill barr and a powerful u. S. Attorney in new york who has investigated a number of the president s associates. So is the top attorney for the Southern District of new york resigning or not . A live report next.

Protect him with all your heart. Simparica trio. Today, a standoff between a u. S. Attorney bill barr and a powerful u. S. Attorney who has investigated a number of the president s associates. Moments after barr announced that jeffrey burrman the u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york was tepping down, he himself denied he was resigning and said he has no intention in fact of leaving. Cnns cameras caught up with him this morning hes showed up for work. I have nothing to add to that. This morning im just here do my job. Cnns evan perez joining us now from the Justice Department. Evan, what more can you tell with us this standoff . How did this come to be . Whats going on . Well, fred, it doesnt happen very often in this building where the attorney general says, hey, youre fired and the person who is supposed to be fired says, no, im not. Im not going to go anywhere. So thats really what the situation that developed yesterday there are was a meeting in new york between the attorney general bill barr with jeff berman, the u. S. Attorney in manhattan. He was offered another job, told we need you to step down and were going to offer you a position here at main justice at the headquarters of the Justice Department running the civil division. Berman declined that offer and, according to sources, berman thought there was going to be further conversation. He didnt realize that just a few hours later the Justice Department was going to issue a press release in which the attorney general said that berman was stepping down and he named a new nominee, jay clatytn who is going to be, according to the Justice Department, the new nominee for the u. S. Attorneys office in manhattan. As youve pointed out, fred, this is a powerful office, this is an office that runs a lot of sensitive investigations, including, of course, the one that is focusing on rudy giuliani, the president s personal attorney. Its an investigation, of course, that has gotten under the skin of the president and bill barr, the attorney general has now decided that this is something that he wants closer perhaps closer management of. So we are now at a standoff. We dont know how this will end. It appears though, fred, berman is relying on one fact here, which is that technically he has been appointed by the court, by the judges in new york. Theres a quirk in the law here whereby he has been sitting there without actually ever Getting Senate confirmation and so right now hes sitting there as an appointee of the court. So the question is, does bill barr have the power to fire him . Certainly the president does, so were waiting to see whether or not the president actually does that. All right, evan perez. Thanks so much for that. Thanks. And this breaking news into cnn. Weve just learned several members of President Trumps staff in tulsa have tested positive for covid19. Were live next.

Grubhub. Together, we can help save the restaurants we love. All right. This breaking news. Were learning that some members of President Trumps advanced team for tonights rally in tulsa, oklahoma, have tested positive for covid19. Lets go back to tulsa with cnns abby phillips. What are you learning . Reporter well, we just learned that these are six staffers who have been here in tulsa for the last several days preparing for this rally are positive for the coronavirus. I want to quickly explain what advanced staffers are. They come in days before a president ial event, they scope the site, they figure out where everythings supposed to go and happen before the event. Now, six of those individuals have tested positive and ill read the statement from the Trump Campaign on what happened. The Campaign Communications director says per safety protocols, Campaign Staffers are tested for covid19 before events. Six members of the advanced team tested positive out of hundreds of tests performed and quarantine measures were immediately implemented. No covid positive staffer or anyone in immediate contact will be at todays rally or near attendees and elected officials. As previously announced, all rally attendees are given temperature checks before going through security at which point they are given wristbands, face masks, and Hand Sanitizer. So, again, as weve been discussing, those precautions are being taken, but the question is will attendees wear masks which we know according to the scientists and doctors and Health Experts will slow the spread of this virus. It is not clear the Campaign Still says they will not enforce mask wearing inside that arena. Fred. And, of course, you know, we still need detail of prior to this positive covid testing what the behaviors and practices were of these individuals. Is there any belief that well get that kind of information . Reporter its not clear. But as you said, its a critical question. Were these staffers Wearing Masks around each other as they scoped the site, as they walked around tulsa in the problem for all of this is that it only takes on
