12:01 am
see if we can bring in those live pictures again of the skies above atlanta. as we said, mrtrump is skies above atlanta. as we said, mr trump is expected to land. we heard our correspondent tell us he's expected to lay on just about now, so we should see his plane arriving at any point now —— landed just about now, then he'll be going to the fulton county jail where he will be booked. we expect that to happen within the next hour or so, as we heard the former president is running a little bit late, but let's now move on and take a look at the 13 charges that mr trump is facing as we await for him to arrive in atlanta. we've covered these charges before, but they're worth a look. to change the outcome of the election, three counts of solicitation of violent version of oath
12:02 am
including one related to trump's —— violation of oath, where mr trump asked the secretary of state to unlawfully author... also conspiracy to impersonate a public officer with intent to mislead. by making a false document which would've made trump appearto be document which would've made trump appear to be the winning candidate in georgia, and making false statements and writings, and filing false documents. persuading georgia legislators to reject legitimate votes cast by duly elected officials. just as the plane is about to land in atlanta, those are the pictures of donald trump landing in atlanta at this very minute, at the atlanta hartsfield international airport where he will then go the fulton county jail to be booked on those criminal charges we just
12:03 am
criminal charges wejust mentioned, 13 charges, and the former president denies all charges against him, he will be with his legal team. he had a shake—up of his legal team today, adding a new lawyer to his team, but let's bring in our panel of legal experts as we look at these pictures right now of mr trump's plane, he's landing right now in atlanta. 0ur landing right now in atlanta. our legal experts will be talking through this hour with us, both federal prosecutors, and a visiting associate professor of practice at emory university school of law right there in atlanta, georgia. john, as you are in atlanta and we are looking at these pictures of mr trump arriving in your city right now, he'll be headed downtown to the fulton county jail. be headed downtown to the fulton countyjail. can be headed downtown to the fulton county jail. can you give us an idea of what's the difference between booking and the actual arraignment? so what mr trump will the actual arraignment? so what mrtrump will be the actual arraignment? so what mr trump will be doing today versus the arraignment? so formal
12:04 am
versus the arraignment? sr formal booking is the taking of the demographic information, so prior arrest record, public health form, fingerprints and the mug shots everyone has been talking about. this can be paired with arraignment in the united states, and simply the entering of a guilty or not guilty plea. but they've decoupled them so they'll occur approximately two weeks apart. and we know mr trump will enter a not guilty plea. can you tell us if the proceeding he'll be facing today is how it would be for other defendants also being booked at the fulton county jail? , , ., ., ., jail? so he is similar to other high-profile _ jail? so he is similar to other high-profile defendants - jail? so he is similar to other high-profile defendants but i high—profile defendants but different in the from the average person in atlanta, simply because he had the opportunity to surrender rather than being arrested on the street, and an opportunity with a bail agreement in place before he surrendered. those two things will speed the process along for anybody. in addition he'll not go into the

12:08 am
appears to be running a little bit behind schedule, but we could see him at the fulton county jail could see him at the fulton countyjail in about an hour's time or perhaps less than that. coming to some of the other charges, sarah, wejust read them and mentioned conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, falsifying a document that would've made trump the winning candidate in georgia and falsifying statements. one of these charges based upon? 50 of these charges based upon? so i of these charges based upon? sr i think the thing here is tying trump to the conduct that those charges are based upon, so they have to not only show the event happened, but put trump as the responsible party for that conduct, so it was either him that did it, his agent, his co—conspirator. so i think that's really the harder sell here for the jury, tying
12:09 am
that's really the harder sell here for thejury, tying it back to trump as the act when there's actually a lot of people involved here, and should the case go forward, trump may try to shift the blame to others within his gambit. blame to others within his ambit. , ., . h blame to others within his ambit. ., �*, blame to others within his ambit. , ., ., �*, i. ., ~ gambit. joe, what's your take on this? fake _ gambit. joe, what's your take on this? fake electors - gambit. joe, what's your take on this? fake electors might| gambit. joe, what's your take l on this? fake electors might be the strongest _ on this? fake electors might be the strongest part _ on this? fake electors might be the strongest part of— on this? fake electors might be the strongest part of the - on this? fake electors might be the strongest part of the case. | the strongest part of the case. you have — the strongest part of the case. you have to break off the contention electors than the fake — contention electors than the fake electors. but if the da can show there were individuals trying _ can show there were individuals trying to— can show there were individuals trying to impersonate legitimate electors who submitted forged documents, and it did _ submitted forged documents, and it did seem like donald trump was part— it did seem like donald trump was part of that series of activity. _ was part of that series of activity, that might be the most _ activity, that might be the most serious charge here, set of charges. there's also a hacking _ of charges. there's also a hacking set of charges which also — hacking set of charges which also seems serious, but i don't think— also seems serious, but i don't think trump was asked a part of that, _ think trump was asked a part of that, i_ think trump was asked a part of that, i think he was fairly removed. as far as everything else, — removed. as far as everything else, that _ removed. as far as everything else, that state of mind will be criminal, and i come back to this with —

12:19 am
previous three terminal cases. this one will be a little bit different. first of all, it won't be taking place in a courthouse, or at least not yet. we are at the fulton county jail, yet. we are at the fulton countyjail, you can see the actualjail house over my shoulder, and this is where donald trump will be arriving and maybe 10—20 minutes, of course atlanta is a city notorious for traffic but if they are able to clear the roads, you should be here fairly soon. once the former president is inside, we know he's likely to be processed, so that's a matter of fingerprinting, they'll actually take other measurements including body weight, and we believe it's not 100% confirmed, but based on what you've seen so far with the other defendants in this case, we think donald trump will have a mug shot taken which will be published and released to the media, and made available within a matter of hours, we expect. after that, the former president is pretty much free to go. he, like all the other defendants except for one, has already arranged an
12:20 am
agreement, a bond agreement to be able to leave under his own power and return to freedom in the meantime. it's a $200,000 bond and there are some fairly strict restrictions that go along with it, so he will be told not to communicate with other codefendants in this case, not to communicate with other potential witnesses as well. he's also being told not to intimidate any potential witnesses, there will be some restrictions potentially on what he could post on social media. so those are the conditions that have already been set, he'll be free to go at that point. we think it might take an hour or longer, and we know he'll make his way backin and we know he'll make his way back in that motorcade towards the airport. already he has a 9pm interview scheduled with newsmax, which is a fox news competitor and conservative leaning news outlet. once again, as we've seen in the previous three criminal cases, donald trump certainly taking
12:21 am
advantage of the opportunity to use this as a campaign stop, if you will, making it notjust legal but political. and it's worth pointing out that this jail is open 20 a7, and he defendants could turn themselves into any time but he chose to route the arrive at 7pm which is prime time in the us. , ., ., , 7pm which is prime time in the us. joe, as we look at these ictures us. joe, as we look at these pictures again _ us. joe, as we look at these pictures again in _ us. joe, as we look at these pictures again in atlanta, i us. joe, as we look at these l pictures again in atlanta, one of the questions i was asked is whether this trial would be televised and that is apparently the case. what element does that add to a trial? . �* , , trial? that's interesting because _ trial? that's interesting because the _ trial? that's interesting because the televisingl trial? that's interesting l because the televising of trials _ because the televising of trials is _ because the televising of trials is a pretty controversial topic here in this— controversial topic here in this country, and the federal level— this country, and the federal level since the 1930s, it's basically been barred, so you won't — basically been barred, so you won't get _ basically been barred, so you won't get any video of any criminai— won't get any video of any criminal trials. at the state level. _ criminal trials. at the state level. it's _ criminal trials. at the state level, it's state—by—state, so you _ level, it's state—by—state, so you have _ level, it's state—by—state, so you have places like new york
