3:01 am
a plane. the funds to the ground loss of most open for expansion. the leaders of the bricks alliance in 56 new countries to join the blog. china says no. the japanese see through dr. tokyo begins releasing cheated radioactive water from the focused human nuclear plants into the pacific ocean. the former us president donald trump just being formerly arrested on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in georgia from surrender to law enforcement at fulton county jail and georgia charged under a racketeering statute. normally associated with gang members and organized crime 11 is 18 co defendants have already turned themselves into prosecutors including the fall and the mayor of new york, rudy giuliani. and we've got to correspondence in atlanta covering this story.
3:02 am
we're going to speak to alan fisher, who's outside the courthouse, and i'm on the 1st. we're going to go to rosalind jordan, who's at fulton county jail. i've also, and we've just been seeing pictures of a few moments ago with the convoy at leaving the fulton county jail. that was a remarkably quick process. describes the view is why that process has been so much faster than many other dependent defendants would have experienced. typically when someone is arrested, that person has to get a lawyer. that person then goes with his or her lawyer before a magistrate judge, to negotiate, along with prosecutor is an acceptable amount of fail that can be set, fail, or bond in this case, isn't interchangeable term. once all 3 parties agree on the amount that the person has to be good for in order to lead jail, then that person can be fingerprinted and that person takes a moke shot as part of the processing of a criminal case. now donald trump,
3:03 am
the former us president, had his lawyer to negotiate such a board of $200000.00 back on monday, 3 days ago. now it's thursday evening in atlanta, all he had to do was appear at the county judge uh, county jail down the driveway behind me and actually finished those final to his motorcade. unfortunately were having a few problems with the signal that were getting from northland jordan, ive side fulton county jail there. as you can imagine, there's a lot of media presence there and that kind of plugs up the bandwidth that that that was was using. so as a result, the signal is beginning to break up. we will try and get her back later on in the show. but i want to go back to the instruction who is joining us from outside the courthouse in atlanta. then let's go back like 2448 hours or so. and because we've
3:04 am
seen quite a significant number of legal changes in legal moves and going on, just talk this through for people who are just joining us. what's been happening the uh yeah, let me point out is that the everyone is be waiting for this. infamous monk show, a few of them are already circulating on line. the are fake, we know because we so we were what to enroll. when donald trump left to play and he was wearing his white shot and rapes tied a traditional for donald trump and the pictures that we're seeing online don't have them waiting. not so be careful before you start reporting any of that. but yes, and the last 48 hours, particularly in the last few of the been a few significant developments. one of them for goals and a gentleman by the name of kemp, chief bra, who was a big jump supporter who. what for him in georgia, he asked the court for his case, it to be had quickly. he's a like to do the on the door to a lot of funny. well, as soon as the prosecutor said, that's a great idea and move the case from march to october. the 23rd
3:05 am
a judge has the cheeseburger the appeal to do that and said he was fine with it. but he said only chase bro, means the others were automatic. we have a march date as well, and it started on october date as well. and we know that donald trump's team has filed save and he wants to be separate from chase. bright essentially say you hear his case, then you hear ours and also is that they don't want to be involved in any trial. and october the 26th, and we know october the 20 started. we know total comes policy so far has been to try and delay these trials for as long as possible working on the principle that if we can get back to the white house, you can stop the federal cases against them because you'll be in charge of the department of justice and there is a long standing protocol that sitting presidents can be charged with criminal offenses. you might not be able to influence the case in new york and also the case
3:06 am
here in georgia, which is why as the number of people including mock made was who was his chief of staff, are trying to move the heating of their case to federal court saying that he was acting in his role is a federal also sucks and under american law, states can interfere with the work of a federal officer. so a lot of legal machinations just in the last few hours. it's something we should expect to see to continue to play out over the next few weeks. allen, for people who, who maybe haven't been following the background to, to this case may be wondering about why it's so important that this uh, with regards to the mug shot that you were talking about earlier. this is a historic moment. this is the 1st time that he, us, former us president, has had a mug shot taken exactly. when you think of all the icon in the pictures and all the icon and paintings of us president, you think you're washington crossing the delaware. you think, co, uh the problem lincoln and his stove pipe hot,
3:07 am
you think of ronald reagan in the assassination attempt or standing at the battle in ball telling gorbachev to tear the will. don't you don't think of presidents standing in front of a plane? well, i getting the photo taken because they're facing criminal charges on that sport. donald trump's indelible image will be not at the moment when a former us president based of not just criminal charges. we've seen that 3 times already this summer, but now he's also being had his bunk shot taken. is jill print picture essentially not the next stage. and this of course, is the arraignment tv. but don't come, doesn't need to come back down to georgia for that. that can be done either remotely, or they can simply sign the form, hand it to his attorney, and his attorney can appear in court and say on the sucking charges facing donald jones from my client pleads not guilty at that point. they'll then start to move the process of turning everything that the prosecution have over to the defense at
3:08 am
something called discovery. and they will try and set a date for the trial. but as we've already had the prosecution, very keen to try and get those keys had some time around march next year, which would be right in the heart of the presidential election campaign. so what you could have is donald trump campaigning for the republican presidential nomination, but coming off the campaign trail on a number of days to sit in a court room and defend himself facing charges that could actually put him behind box island. thanks a lot. that's all the refresher talking to us from atlanta and please to say we can now go back to law's jordan, who's outside the fulton county jail in atlanta. i've always been good, good to have you back you in the process of telling us why the process that donald trump is going to was so much quicker than one that a normal defendant would go through well, very quickly, to, to coin a phrase. it's because the work of figuring out how much fall and the former
3:09 am
president needed to post in order to not stay at the fulton county jail was already hashed out on monday, between his lawyers and fulton county, prosecutors, and that agreement was submitted to the judge who then accepted that this would be an acceptable board for the president to stay out while he is going through the process of getting ready for trial and then of going through the trial. so once he came here, donald trump did not have to talk to the magistrate judge for 80 length of time. basically this was doing the magistrate fingerprints the mandatory mode shot. and then if there were any other details and it does have appear. so as far as we're hearing that there were donald trump, the former us president was free to go until the next time he has to be before
3:10 am
judge scott mac, a fee, who is going to be the trial judge in this case, unless something happens down the road, normally, people who are rusted have to find a lawyer, get time to make certain that there was a prosecutor there in the court room. be there when the magistrate judge is on hand and then they have to spend the time hammering out those details. donald trump and his legal team got rid of the complicated work 1st, just getting to the jail and doing these final 2 steps was really he spent more time flying here, frankly, than he did actually in the jail this evening. or the last time we were talking to you or was it was quite a crowd behind you. and you said that people have been there for several hours. and if it's clearly a very, very hot day in atlanta, what does it be like over the last few hours as people have been anticipating the arrival of donald trump? of the well you've had many people who support donald trump, who say that he is being on fairly prosecuted, that he is perhaps being persecuted. that this is
3:11 am
a political than data being carried out by joe biden. the current us positive by political figures in washington who don't like donald trump and never accepted him as a legitimate political leader. and you had a small group of people who bought that, whether donald trump was in or is guilty of the charges he is now facing some 15 out of the 41. in that election, racketeering. i. indictment. they say that they needed to see justice being carried out, that no person, even if he had been the president of the united states be on, you'll be immune to what everyone else us would be subjected to, which is being held accountable. so there, because of the heat, there were, you know, few tempers flare and, but overall people made their points very wildly, very strongly, very firmly, but not with any real antagonism towards the people who were listening to them. i
3:12 am
don't know that many minds were change. so, but certainly that was the 10 are out here on thursday. yeah. rosen just as you've been talking with watching some live pictures of it, the, the motorcade making his way back towards the airport. now the last time he did this, he, he did have make a speech a brief speech. i, i'd say when he got to the airport onto the tarmac, there's no questions about whether or not he is preparing to do that. we can't quite see from the pictures that we thought, washington jordan outside, fulton county jail, was for not thank you very much. indeed. i want to take this up with fair finkelstein see, she is a professor of law. i'm the faculty director in the center of ethics and the rule of law of the university of pennsylvania law school. she's live from true and massachusetts. very good to have you with us on. i'll just, you know, thank you very much indeed. and all of your hearing, all of the charges that have appeared in the indictment. what do you think could be the most difficult for donald trump? in his defense team? i this is an extraordinary enlightenment. first of all is the only environment that
3:13 am
really puts the conspiracy in nature of this crime and the organizational nature of the crime on you. 19 defendants. the age of who are lawyers, the very lawyers that donald trump rely on to people about trouble and with basses, pause, now they are encountering the very same charges that he is encountering. and so his use for the hell are naturally, he's very much facing the music here. and of course the, the charge of the indictment is the right to charge a charge that lewis knows very well how crossing hughes and that is used for us to . there's a lot of this hearing power, especially in major prosecution like this to against the criminal organization as
3:14 am
it is hard drives. uh, correspondent, i'm officially describing to a salary of about some of the legal maneuvering that's been going on um in the last 2448, i was wondering which has been donald trump's team swapping out one lawyer or for another one who also appears to be a very respected atlanta lawyer, but it is much more geared towards dealing with a celebrity cases. and also of course, dealing with rico lot. does that give us any insight into the way that the defense team might be planning to approach this as well, they will try every defense. they have, their options are limited. so for donald trump has not the night any of the charges, he has not the, not, the he regards the 2020 election as stolen from him. so in some sense, the understand he can pursue for defense will be limited because he is why upfront
3:15 am
is that he still believes that he was 2020 election. and so he was denied due to the fact that he was trying to steal the election. so that's a, that's a tough road to hoe right from the beginning. but what is the sworn area about tonight's best? i don't want that to get lost in the technicality of the indictment is the fact that despite the fact that he does not accept the charges, he does not accept the validity of the 2020 election. he's one of the pricing that no, presumably is just a fast. nevertheless, he accepted the 40 of the georgia courts and the, such as the authority of funding willis. and that is a re victory itself was now we know that donald trump's defense team are likely to try to push for a move to
3:16 am
a federal court. we know that a couple of these co defendants are also pushing for that as well. the question of course that many people are asking that in the event that donald trump gets through the republican nomination becomes president of the united states. will he be in a position to make all of this go away? the justice department has a long standing principle that a city president cannot be indicted. and so if you were to become part of the course by law the night they cannot proceed to try us to not proceed. no legally see is my that was a rash because it's very different to say that city president, champion from say a guy, would you excuse me just for a 2nd? i am sorry. the donald trump is speaking on the tom. back of the airport. we're going to listen and i'll come back to your challenge. it'll actually, the election was a regular action to show
3:17 am
a little action. and i should have every right to do that is, you know, yeah, many people that you've been watching over the years do the same thing, whether it's hillary clinton or stacy abrams or many others. when you have that great freedom to challenge you have to be able to otherwise you could have heard this on a selections. what is taking place here is a travesty of justice. we did nothing wrong. i did nothing wrong and everybody knows it. i've never had such support as that goes with the other ones to what they're doing is election interference or try to interfere with an election. there's never been anything like it in our country before. this is their way of campaigning. this is one instance, but you have 3 other instances for selection interference. so i want to thank you for being here. we did nothing wrong at all, and we have every right, every single right to challenge and election that we think is on it. so we think it's very dishonest, so thank you all very much and i'll see you. 2 very soon from
3:18 am
a us president donald trump, there on the tarmac of the lines the international airport saying basically that he did nothing wrong with regard to the 2020 presidential election and efforts to try to overturn the result. he told at the travesty of justice when he was going through and repeated that he did nothing wrong. they are trying to, to interfere with the election. he said, i want to go back to a player finkelstein, who was talking to it just before donald trump begun to speak for forgive me for doing that. i'm sure you can understand why we wanted to take that, but you were describing to us of why you felt that you were describing to is the situation that donald trump might find himself. where he to become president with regards to the actions that he might take with regard to the cases that he's facing . the 1st to notice the remark that he made on the far right, there's already laid out exactly what the strategy is to say that, but it wasn't a valid election, might have the right challenge. and of course, that's what his lawyers are going to the right reasons is already suggested that
3:19 am
that would be the argument, right? we is free a lawyer, we have the right to do that. so and now with regard to what if he becomes president? so i think legally, there is no reason why the justice department would be in a position to stop the trial is not like a president. well, he's in office, this is an individual who is that we might imagine with the presidency and there's no the reasons for stopping it already is like. but as a practical matter, he controls the justice department. and what can you do this with my child play and the saturday night massacre because he can fired the attorney general fire jackson with the with then the laughter, anybody with all in the investigations and use the justice department for
3:20 am
retribution. this is very much what was, was about this, the subject of the federal indictment which is intended to replace the attorney general for acting attorney general. and someone who knew put in place. and then terms of justice department from an independent investigatory justice oriented body into a arm of the trump campaign. so as a reality, if donald trump wins the presidential election, the amount of control over these federal trials, he will not have that control. however, over the georgia and the yours process,
3:21 am
and that's why this is where the georgia trial would be. so it's really interesting to get your thoughts on this clear finkelstein. thank you very much indeed with me for being with us on all the 0. we appreciate it, we're going to go back to the island fisher, who's outside the courthouse in atlanta, georgia allen, um finkelstein. they're saying that what donald trump, that we just had from was during there was essentially laying out his strategy, repeating that he had done nothing wrong. that it was a travesty of justice. that he was facing these charges that he's saying they are trying to interfere with the election. one thing to point out, donald trump declared his candidacy for the presidency of the united states, essentially as the run for the white house back in november. that is exceptionally, at least in the presidential cycle. and many people believe the reason the did that was to give themselves cover to be able to say the reason they're coming after me is because they don't want me to be president. it was
3:22 am
a deliberate move on his part, something that have been flagged up for some time, and we expected him to use that argument as he went forward. and that's exactly what he's done. what he will also argue is that it's his 1st amendment rights. he thought that what happened was wrong, it was every possibility that there was a fraud in the election and he was allowed to see that he was being pulled by his lawyers, what he could do, and he full of their instructions. what the prosecution case is, is that absolutely you can see that there is a problem. you have no problem with your 1st amendment rights. but when you start trying to get election officials, when you stop trying to get officials in georgia to try and change the story to create the collectors to breach data machines, then you have crossed the light into criminal behavior. and that is why he is being charged with conspiracy that he was at the center of this effort to try and change the election results in georgia to give himself
3:23 am
a larger number in the electoral college deprives of voters of georgia of their votes. ton them a ton of the states for republican and essentially hans, whom the keys to the white house in 2021 is that is the arguments that will play out over the next few months. and thank you very much. indeed. that's all and pleasure. talking to somebody side, the courthouse in atlanta, georgia. the the, let's bring you some more of the days of the news. now. the russian president not to be approved in spoken out about the death of getting to goshen every 24 hours out to the wagner choose plane crashed north of moscow, putting referred to him as a talented businessman. brushes, aviation as agencies, as precaution was in a private jet. the crushed on wedding stream becomes 2 months after the former ally of the pro russian presidents let a short lived mutiny against military leaders in the capital. those abiding reports
