range of colleagues have been working on this story all day and have learned the justice department has subpoenaed more than 30 people, people in the former president's orbit. people like bill steppian, donald trump's former campaign manager, dan scavino the former trump chief of staff. these are wide ranging subpoenas seeking things that have to do with the save america pact, donald trump's fundraising and political vehicle, information related to the fake elector spot, any information handed over to the january 6 committee, a number of them seeking documents some also seeking testimony. we also learned in the "new york times" tonight that investigators appear to have gone another step further with some witnesses including boris epstein and mike roman the "new york times" reporting both men had phones seized. cnn has not independently confirmed this. it is a sign the justice department's investigation is intensifying particularly as they are about to head into the quiet period ahead of the

midterm elections. >> certainly widening. what can you tell us about the back and forth between the former president's legal team and the justice department having to deal with the fbi search of mar-a-lago? >> we know that there is this continuing fight over the special master who might be named to oversee thousands of documents that the fbi seized from mar-a-lago. we learned earlier today the trump team in a court filing basically said we do not like either of the justice department's candidates for this job. they did not offer an explanation as to why they didn't like any of the candidates the doj put forward. we are learning in a filing tonight the justice department is trying to i guess offer some sort of an olive branch perhaps. they said they are open to one of the candidates, the former trump team put forward. this is a retired judge, someone they say believes has the experience, the relevant experience with these kinds of documents and these kinds of issues to potentially oversee that. now this is going to go to the judge, john. we'll wait to see what she says about the special master candidates as well as the government's previous request that they exclude 100 classified

documents from this special master review. >> all right. sara murray on top of this. a lot of new developments and we'll hear more as the weak progresses. perspective from george conway a conservative lawyer and "the washington post" contributing columnist. you served as deputy assistant attorney general during the george w. bush administration and currently teaches law at uc berkeley. i want to start with the news we began with the idea the justice department is taking the step of subpoenaing more than 30 people in the former president's orbit. what does that tell you about their investigation? >> i think it tells us exactly what judge garland said he was going to do way back on the first anniversary of january 6th, which was that he was going to follow the facts and the law wherever it might lead and he was going to, they were going to do what they do in a lot of large criminal investigations as they worked their way up to the top of the pyramid. and it's been a massive amount of work that they had been doing since january 6th in prosecuting

the people who were actually on the ground at the capitol. hundreds and hundreds of people who were there. it is also a massive job to follow up and go higher and that is what they're doing now, reaching that stage of the investigation exactly as judge garland said he would. >> clearly, very busy. george, i also want to ask you a little bit more about this back and forth between the justice department and former president trump's lawyer having to do the search of mar-a-lago. there are some legal arguments being made by trump's lawyers and one of them is that the justice department hasn't proven that the documents seized are in fact classified. what do you make of that argument? >> again, it is a function of the concept that the president of the united states cannot somehow act like the magnificent and hold documents and declare them de classified. the statutes that were invoked to support the search warrant don't require classification and

the subpoena where they produced documents and failed to produce them all back in the summer requires the production of all documents with class iification markings whether in fact they remained classified. it is completely irrelevant and is based upon a presumption. what about the fact that in that argument trump's lawyers never actually assert trump declassified the documents. what do you make of that? >> i think actually both sets of papers are trying to reach some kind of compromise by papers i mean both the justice department and the trump administration. you saw the news that the justice department has agreed to one of the special masters and is only seeking an exception from the special master order for about the 100 or so classified documents that were covered. they are agreeing to stop the use of all the other nonclassified documents in their

criminal investigation. that is an interesting olive branch from the justice department. on the trump side i would say there is an olive branch there too. they are not repeating some of the claims in court that president trump and his allies are making that perhaps president trump declassified the documents. it doesn't seem so. you look at the facts recounted in the court papers and it doe doesn't sound like president trump or his aides acted like the documents were declassified. both sides are trying to dial down the heat and maybe reach some kind of compromise. >> one possible reason you don't put it in a court document that trump declassified them if it turns out not to be true there is a sanction there. another argument i want your take on is the trump side is saying he has an absolute right of access to presidential records here whether classified or not. does that matter?

>> i'm not persuaded by that in the papers. it is not a question about access to the papers but who is the repository of the papers. past presidents want access to their papers to write memoirs but that doesn't answer the question of who holds them. traditionally it is the archives will hold them and the presidential library then give a copy to the president so he or she can access them. >> there is no right to keep them in the house. you have access under the safety and control of the archives. now the justice department has said one of the former president's choices for special master talking about judge raymond deery is appropriate. does that make judge deery the odds on favorite to get picked here? how could this play out? >> the judge clearly has a discretion to pick whoever she wants. i think it would make sense to pick judge deery at this point. i don't think it was so much of an olive branch the justice department was extending by acknowledging judge deery's

acceptability. judge deery is a well respected judge in the eastern district of new york and brooklyn, well respected for decades. and he served on the foreign intelligence surveillance court. the court that handles fisa applications and is fully qualified to review classified information and handle it. so he is actually a good choice. i think the only reason the justice department didn't agree immediately is because the trump people voted the name six hours before the filing deadline and hasn't run it up to the flag pole to the department of justice tlfrjts are still serious issues to be worked out when it comes to the special master. what do you see as the big ones? >> you are exactly right. there are still a lot of issues to be resolved. one of the most important legal issues is the one that we've talked about on the show before, does president trump as the

former president have any kind of executive privilege, the right to keep secret documents and communications between the president and his or her top aides from the incumbent president? this is an issue which the supreme court flagged earlier this year when it over rode trump's claim of executive privilege against the january 6th committee. it is an issue the supreme court itself also flagged back in the nixon case in the 1970s, the governing law for issues we're talking about. i'm not sure trump wins on that issue. i would bet he doesn't. i still tend to think the incumbent president decides whether there is executive privilege or not because there is only one president at a time and in this case the president is carrying out his or her duties to execute the laws, you know, the prosecutions. but trump can delay things several weeks if not months by trying to raise that issue and drive it all the way to the supreme court. >> george, very quickly, the timeline here. we don't know exactly what judge

janet cannon is going to say but if she doesn't do something to satisfy the justice department and they appeal all of this, how long will it play out? >> it's hard to say. i mean, it could be resolved on stay applications which could be done very quickly or it might require full appeals. i would hope that they would be able to stay the portion of the order that they are seeking to stay, which is the restriction on their ability to use the classified documents for the purposes of the investigation. because there is really no basis to separate what the judge is allowing, which is the use of the information for counterintelligence purposes and for classified investigation information for the criminal purposes. >> we could learn if the judge grants the stay in the next few days. great to have you both on tonight. thank you very much. >> thanks, john. we'll get the very latest on ukraine's stunning rout of russian forces and whether it

first gradually then suddenly what ernst hemingway wrote about going bankrupt might also apply to military defeat. at least that is how it appears tonight in newly liberated portions of ukraine. for weeks ukrainian troops had been slowly, gradually chipping away at russian positions in southern and eastern ukraine then starting just last week and accelerating over the weekend gradually became suddenly and the ukrainian push outward from kharkiv turned to shove. look at the time lapse here. starting september 3rd with yellow marking progress toward the russian border to the north and the strategic city to the southeast, ukraine reclaimed more territory in just a few days than russia took in months.

>> translator: from the beginning of september until today, our soldiers have already liberated more than 6,000 square kilometers of the territory of ukraine. in the east and south. the movement of our troops continues. >> whether this amounts to a turning point in the wider war is by no means certain. that said a senior american military official tells us this remarkable shift in the battlefield picture signals, quote, low morale, logistics issues, inability to sustain operations, on the part of russian forces. we'll talk about the implications if a moment. first though more on the counteroffensive itself with cnn's matthew chance. >> reporter: we are one people with russia read this kremlin propaganda poster. no one is reading it anymore. as ukrainian forces tear it down the words of a celebrated ukrainian poet revealed thinly papered over.

fight and you will win, he writes. one poignant moment in a stunning weekend of dramatic, ukrainian gains. in towns and villages of this war ravaged country's kharkiv region ukrainian troops are being greeted as liberators. for months, these people have lived under russian guns. now it's ukrainian guns, celebrating the recapture of strategic towns like this once key supply point for russian troops. troops who appear to have been routed with equipment destroyed or abandoned in the face of a lightning ukrainian offensive. heavy armor, ammunition, even food and clothes left behind. as ukrainian commanders say

their russian enemy simply turned and ran. powerful, humiliating blow for the kremlin and its military. but russian officials are putting on a very different spin. in order to achieve the goals of the special military operation as they call it a decision was made to regroup russian troops, says this defense ministry spokesman. it is an orderly withdrawal, he suggests. not the chaotic rout it seems. even on pro kremlin television, the once triumphant mood seems to have shifted toward reality and the blame game is now in full swing. the people who convinced putin this special operation would be fast and effective really set us up complains this pundit. someone must have told him ukrainians would surrender, he

says. >> translator: six months ago did anyone really believe we would be surrendering towns and trying to repel a counteroffensive in kharkiv? this is a serious army and their weapons are serious, too admits a third. amid heated exchanges. ukraine's dramatic advance seems to have genuinely shocked russia. that makes its leader, who oversaw moscow anniversary celebrations at the weekend even more unpredictable and potentially dangerous. already russian hardliners are calling for president putin to act, mobilize troops, and double down in ukraine. calls he may no longer be able to resist. matthew chance, cnn, london.

>> with that as the backdrop and recognizing the picture is evolving as we speak, let's get some perspective from cnn's sam kiley in ukraine and also the former chief of russia operations at the cia and retired army brigadier general who served as military attache in moscow and has written a book about it, a u.s. army officer's experience in pre-putin russia. we also learned tonight deputies at 18 municipal districts in moscow and st. petersburg have signed a petition calling for vladimir putin's resignation in a country as tightly controlled as russia is how significant are these signs of defense? dissent i should say? >> well, it is significant, john. in the sense that you've got these lower level politicians calling for putin's resignation. you've got some of the chaos we saw on the state controlled television just recently also occurring. these aren't direct threats to putin because of course his ability to use his security

services to suppress, repress his citizenry is still amazingly strong. that said, it really is an issue of a tipping point. in other words, the temperature is definitely going up in moscow and how far can it go before people who really are important, these are the people who surround vladimir putin, start to take notice of this and say, hold on a second. is the entire system we depend on starting to fray at the edges because of what is going on in ukraine? if that is the case and they start making that determination, then it is going to get really serious at the senior most levels of the russian government, john. >> general, how do you explain the success of the ukrainian counterattack not just the amount of land ukrainians have taken but how quickly they've been able to do it? >> this is, frankly, what we're watching is remarkable. but i caution against euphoria. i think being cautiously optimistic is right. a lot can go wrong, but what the

ukrainians have done is they have basically, first of all, can you believe, five months ago they battled and fought and threw the russians out from around kharkiv. that was momentous. then you have this grounded out fight in eastern ukraine where as ugly as it was the ukrainians were able to hang in there and set the circumstances for a counteroffensive of where we're seeing in kharkiv and to a lesser extent in the south. so there is momentum and initiative, planning, intelligence, equipment coming from in and fundamentalal will to fight and moxy that the russian troops, they're kind of done, they're drawn out. they're tired. and the morale is down and they don't believe in their leadership. you had a shift in momentum and it almost is as if it just broke in the forces if, near kharkiv

almost seem to be melting away. the russians are going to have a major problem getting that restored. and then of course there is the big problem, that this can spread into the kremlin and russia but i caution one last thing is that with all of this, i worry a little bit about ukrainian getting too euphoric, over extension, over reach, then setting one's self up for a repost or counterattack. >> sam, you've been on the ground there and to one of the villages liberated in the ukrainian advance. how are the ukrainians hoping to capitalize on this? what did you hear on the ground? >> well t.'s been a remarkable counteroffensive with 6,000 kilometers in the north and the south recaptured, most of it in the north. commanders on the ground talk of having recaptured the whole of kharkiv on the ground and we went to one village and visited

a large number and drove a couple hours frankly into liberated territory, an impossible feat just three days ago. we would have been shot to ribbons in nanoseconds if we tried that under russian occupation. now it's possible to drive around. you drive past many destroyed vehicles but you also pass a huge number of vehicles, talking about tanks, armored personnel carriers, big trucks with the russian z painted out, recaptured or captured by the ukrainians, being turned around and put straight into the battle. on top of that enormous piles of ammunition have been accrued. they've really been able to turn this rout into a resupply operation. that is critical for their mission, because you asked earlier on how it was possible the ukrainians have done this. they've done with a combination of extremely accurate nato style weaponry led by donations from the united states, very high precision artillery strikes which you have seen the evidence

of, untouched houses around russian command posts, and so on, and then a very rapid maneuver, completely different set of doctrine really that they are using. they're maneuvering around, surprising and devastating the russians. and they've caught them and caused a collapse of their command and control. they'll probably be able to regroup on the donetsk river. that the main concern of the ukrainians at the moment. >> steve, one of the things and we heard this from critics of putin inside russia, they want a full mobilization of russian forces there. do you think all of this will spur putin to do a general mobilization? >> you know, it is hard to say right now whether he'll go to that extent because what that presupposes is the down side of a full mobilization would be some sort of political price to pay for putin inside of russia. it is just really hard to judge. would the russian people sort of rise up? would mothers sending their boys and, you know, to the front,

would they be a big political issue for him? i'm not so sure they would but there are other things as putin feels himself more painted in a corner he might turn to. we have of course discussed this in the past. there's tactical nuclear weapons he could use if he felt things were going poorly enough. there is also biological and chemical weapons he could use. that's not to say we need to be more careful in the west in terms of providing weaponry and assistance to the ukrainians for fear of that happening, that is not what i'm saying at all. i am just saying if putin feels himself painted into a corner he might more seriously contemplate those types of things, anything ranging from a massive call up of all russians across the country to some of the more weapons of mass destruction. that of course would be a whole new very dangerous phase of the war. >> general, woo he have 30 seconds left. do you think russia is capable of a serious countermove to what ukraine has been able to do at this point? >> not in the immediate

conventional sense. even the reinforcements we heard are call up would be throwing a lot of fairly inexperienced troops at it. and again, how can the russians turn this in some type of x factor that can really get at the ukrainians, because right now it's all momentum and initiative on the ukrainian side. they've got the russians in the back heel. the russian regime is in trouble i believe and they've got to turn it and this is what worries me because they're being backed into a corner domestically and not internationally which makes this all very dangerous. >> desperation can be dangerous. sam kiley, you and your team stay safe. steve hall, general, thank you very much. next, someone who served the late queen elizabeth on the funeral arrangements she herself made in the first days of charles as king. with skincare super ingredient collagen!

it is the early overnight hours right now in scotland. these are live pictures. st. giles cathedral remains open and will stay open throughout the night for mourners to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii. her coffin will be flown to london tomorrow. more on the ceremonies today from cnn's max foster.

>> reporter: the new king behind his mother's coffin in lock step with his siblings along edinburgh's royal mile. the silence only broken by royal salutes. and gunfire, one a minute from the city's iconic castle. inside st. giles members of the royal family and household as well as scottish politicians and representatives of the military and scottish civil society pay tribute and remember the queen's love of scotland. >> so we gather to bid scotland farewell to our late monarch, whose life of service to the nation and the world we celebrate and whose love for

scotland was legendary. >> reporter: the late monarch's casket, draped with the royal standard of scotland, and the nation's crown, that she received here in 1953. a send-off full of scottish symbolism and her son taking his first steps as scotland's king. just shortly after, charles iii meeting scotland's first minister nicholas sturgeon leader of arguably the most rebellious of his nations. sturgeon wants to eventually secure another referendum on scottish independence, challenging the unity of the kingdom but in her address to the king at the scottish parliament she pledged her loyalty. >> your majesty, we stand ready to support you as you continue your own life of service and as you build on the extraordinary legacy of your beloved mother, our queen. queen elizabeth, queen of scotts. >> reporter: the encounter with the scottish leader came after an event at westminster where the king and queen consort

received letters of condolence from both houses of parliament. there charles iii reiterated his loyalty to britain's democratic values. >> her late majesty pledged herself to serve her country and her people and to maintain the precious principles of constitutional government, which lie at the heart of our nation. this vow she kept with unsurpassed devotion. she set an example of selfless duty, which with god's help and your counsels i am resolved faithfully to follow. >> reporter: monday was scotland's day to express their condolences. on tuesday the king heads to northern ireland and he visits wales on friday. a unifying bid before a final farewell to the late queen at

the state funeral on monday. >> max foster is with us now from buckingham palace. what more can you tell us about the preparation for the queen's lying in state at westminster hall? >> reporter: well, the casket will come, flown from scotland down to london tomorrow evening, and the casket will rest overnight at buckingham palace. on wednesday there will be a full ceremonial procession from here to westminster hall and then the casket, the queen will lie in state. we are expecting absolutely huge crowds. the only comparison we really have was 1965 when winston churchill lay in state, 320,000 people came to pay their respects. we expect at least double that if not three times. so huge preparations are under way in london for just to be able to handle that amount of people. >> max foster, you've been working around the clock. thank you so much. perspective from simon lewis

who served as the queen's press secretary in the late '90s. simon, today's service obviously honored the queen's connection to scotland. what was the nature of her relationship to that country and the people there given all the time she spent at balmoral? >> i know her mother the late queen mother had very strong scottish roots. i think the whole family have a feel for scotland which is quite profound. i have to say, today it was entirely clear that is reciprocated. i think a lot of people weren't sure how the people of scotland would respond when the cortege came to edinburgh but it was extraordinary the number of people, the sense of great loss not just the united kingdom but to scotland. >> it was a resip c-- returned love. this is the beginning of the services. the queen signed off on every detail of the funeral

arrangements. what do you expect to see? what are you watching for? >> we know what happens tomorrow. the queen will be flown back to london. there will be a procession here back to westminster. and the lying in state will begin. this again will be a quite extraordinary event i think because because by most estimates about 750,000 people may come into london between now and the funeral. if you think back to the last great state funeral which was winston churchill in 1965, admittedly a preinternet age, there were 320,000 people who came to see him lying in state. i think this is going to be unprecedented and i think it says a huge amount about the affection for the queen and also the fact that as we've seen in scotland today the affection and adoration of the queen goes well beyond any one city or part of the uk. >> so king charles addressed both houses of parliament today for the first time as king. you got to know him while working for the royal family. how do you see him stepping into

this new role? >> the most important thing is he's been planning for this for most of his life. i mean, he's been the most active and busiest prince of wales in history. he's known from very early on that one day he would be king. he's been thinking about it. he's been planning it. he's been working with his advisers. clearly until the moment comes and a very sad moment because he is also a grieving son, no one quite knows what kind of king he is going to be but i have to say that all of the planning, all of the preparation, all of the hard work, clearly, is paying off, because the king is doing extremely well. every single public speech he has made, his televised broadcasts, his speech today, spot on. >> no one had a longer apprenticeship almost for any job than charles has had for what he is doing now. look, obviously a lot of focus on remembering the queen the past few days and there will be for days and weeks to come. when is it time to start looking

ahead to what the reign of charles iii will be like, or is that moment there already? >> i think we are beginning to see the shape of it. i thought that speech laid out very clearly his belief in a constitutional monarchy, laid out his understanding that he can't do everything. he is going to relinquish some of the things dear to his heart and obviously the new prince of wales will take on those responsibilities but like any sovereign it's about the events that shape the world. we don't know what's coming down the track. the thing about a sovereign, a constitutional monarch is that he or she has to be able to speak for the nation and respond to events as well as have a plan for themselves. and if you look back on the queen's long reign that was what she was amazingly good at, being able to reach the british people at key moments. i think that is exactly what king charles will do and he'll be very well advised. >> simon lewis, thank you so much for your time. >> a pleasure. up next, one-on-one with the author of a new book on rudy guiliani and his remarkable

transformation from america's mayor to defender of 2020 election lies and now a focus of the january 6th investigation. it's okay. you see that? that's when i realized it's time to finally do the thing we've been talking g about for years. so we're making plans for right now. ♪ careful. ♪ you know, opera isn't so bad. do you like it? start your plan today with a northwestern mutual financial advisor and spend your life living. ♪ moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash.

so we're just weeks from the midterms and the former president's legal troubles are part of the picture. in the picture with him as you know is rudy guiliani someone remembered every year about this

time for his role of mayor of new york city after the 9/11 attacks. these days he is at the center of 2020 election investigations in both georgia and washington, d.c. my next guest has covered guiliani in dozens of campaigns for years as a political reporter, the author of the new book "guiliani, the rise and tragic fall of america's mayor." andrew, i just want to start there. it is the question i'm sure you get more than any other which is what happened to rudy guiliani? how did it go from september 11th, 2001, to january 6th, 2020? >> right. it was the question that drove this book and, you know, hundreds of interviews, looked through the archives of the guiliani mayoral team, doing a forensic look into the guiliani story and i think what emerged was a sense of a desperate man. a man who was desperate to achieve power.

desperate for phenomenal wealth. when it all came crashing down, after a disastrous run for the presidency in 2008, he became desperate to recapture his relevance and in order to do that he had to sell out. his vehicle was donald trump a man he considered a carnival barker in the words of one of the aides i spoke with and ever since from 2016 to the present what you've seen are manifestations of rudy guiliani's desire to cling to power regardless of the damage that he would do to the country. >> i didn't realize how low the lows were until i read your book. that lowest of lows was after 2008, the election where he was at one point the front-runner then lost pretty quickly and you spoke to guiliani's third wife judith nathan at length and she described what he was like at that point and called it almost clinical depression. she said guiliani rarely left

the apartment spending his time sitting listlessly on his in-laws' living room couch, sleeping late in the bedroom, smoking cigars in his bathroom on the terrace facing a parking lot. end quote. at this point you write, he basically moved to mar-a-lago to try to get right although even in that period when he was living there or right next to it he was still, you write, literally falling down drunk at times. >> yeah. i think people don't realize and i didn't realize how deep the relationship between trump and guiliani ran even before the presidency. his stay in mar-a-lago, which i just learned about in the course of my reporting, and speaking to his ex-wife was an incredible story. he was just devastated by the loss of power from the implosion of his, just this horribly disastrous president dngs race, walked away with just one delegate. as you said, fell into

depression. and she looked for a place to bring him to kind of, you know, recuperate and donald trump to the rescue. donald trump houses him in mar-a-lago. as he, you know, guiliani is drinking. right? as he is kind of feeling that he's lost his relevance. you know, it gave him some time, you know, to avoid the press, kind of went in and out of -- >> literally tunnels. >> in the tunnels underneath mar-a-lago. it was a moment that probably changed the dynamic between rudy guiliani and donald trump. >> solidified the type of relationship and maybe the power dynamic they were going to have in that relationship. >> that's right >> i want to end on, you talk and have new reporting again that i hadn't read about 2020 and january 6th. you try to explain what guiliani was doing between the election and january 6th. you write it wasn't so much that guiliani was telling trump something he knew wasn't true. rather his own survival rested on it being true. guiliani was 76 years old. his political and financial

future even his escape from prosecution was dependent on trump's remaining in power. >> right. well, every single kind of main stream election lawyer that worked for the trump 2020 campaign, by that time after the election was trying to convince trump to throw in the towel, trying to convince him he had lost. meanwhile there was rudy guiliani telling him he had won. telling trump what he wanted to hear. and the reason was that guiliani was going broke. he was facing a loss of power, of trump, if trump left office. he was subject of national ridicule because of the dripping hair dye, all of that. his only way of kind of keeping it together was to keep donald trump in office. by any means necessary. those means were devastating for the country. and may end him in jail. >> we will see. we will see what the next

chapter is. your second book already on rudy guiliani. curious if there will be a third. a terrific read. you've done really in depth work here. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. once again the new book is "guiliani, the rise and tragic fall of america's mayor" and still to come a look at camilla as she takes her place in history as the new queen consort. answer a few questions and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gigives you a real offer in seconds we'll comeme to you pay you on the spot then pick up y your car that's it at carvana
