made history of trump tower there on the left, gliding down the escalator and launching the campaign that would make him president on the right side of your screen that is former president donald trump on unaccompanied, walking down the stairs of the plane that returned him to new york and alleged criminal being arraigned tomorrow. his reception at trump tower is quiet as 2015 was flashy. no crowds inside just now private citizen moving rather quickly from his car to his residence tonight, the latest on what happened today and everything we know about tomorrow when he leaves trump tower heads downtown, and this country's 45th president becomes the first to face criminal charges. the exact charges still sealed. we know more about what the process will look like and how much of any of it we will get to see. we have correspondents and attorneys on all the angles tonight. cnn's jason carroll at trump towers, you know, shimon, procure pez and paula reid downtown with what awaits the former president tomorrow and security surrounding it. let's start with jason carroll outside where the former president is tonight. do we know how he is spending tonight? what we do, and it

started. when trump arrived here late this afternoon anderson, he gave a quick wave to some of the supporters who had gathered outside of here in front of trump tower. we do know that he has met with some of his advisers and some of his legal team as well. a lot of attention , though, focus on what is happening outside of trump tower where we've got steel barricades that are set up here and along the street here, we've seen a number of folks who have come out just to see what is going on. a lot of folks trying to put focus on what will be happening tomorrow. and that is when former president trump will be taking his motorcade. downtown taking that four mile trek from here where we are to downtown, where he will be processed. during that processing period, he will be fingerprinted, and then he will head in for his arraignment in arraignments, typically a short legal proceeding, he will be read the some 30 counts criminal counts that he is facing expected to enter a plea of not guilty and when all of that is over. he's

expected to hop back into his motorcade, then get back on the trump jet and head back to palm beach where tomorrow night he is expected to hold some sort of a speech. a lot of people waiting to see what he will be saying that anderson carol appreciate it. now more on the process. the former president will go through tomorrow as he leaves the residents heads downtown. german prokupecz is downtown four. so walk us through, um, where he goes tomorrow with the security is going to be like so anderson the this is where he will ultimately end up here on hogan place. this is outside the manhattan district attorney's office. his motorcade will come down this street here. it'll stop and this is where he will get out. this is where he will get out and walk into the district attorney's office, where he will ultimately be taken into custody and arrested . he will walk through these doors. just right here. this rotating door. he will walk in. there are elevators in that

building. he's going to take the elevators up to the seventh floor, and that is where the processing will begin. he will be fingerprinted on the seventh floor. he will be they will fill out paperwork. it's unclear if there's going to be a mug shot. right now. there are indications that there may not be a mug shot. and then at some point he is going to be taken to the 15th floor, which is the courtroom where he's going to be arraigned and that is just behind here. he doesn't need to leave. the building. the security staff can just take him through a secure elevator and they take him up to the 15th floor where he's gonna be arraigned. it should be quick . but by 2 30. we think he will be with the judge before the judge where the arraignment will take place, and by then, hopefully we will learn more specifically anderson. what are some of the charges that he's facing? his attorneys will certainly know the charges. once they walk through these doors, they will be handed the information from the district attorney's office. so perhaps, maybe somehow we will learn more information that point but

certainly everyone here is getting ready for tomorrow. with all the barricades. anderson yeah, i mean, let's talk about potential threats. how tight is security down there? so it's look right now. obviously it's at night, but we're certainly seeing more security staff, more court officers who are really the ones that are securing this building, then we normally do on the night, okay? and so they asked us to go question treat their security barricades have been their security. i mean, you know, people are allowed to walk, but apparently because we have a camera, we can't walk on the street so but that's okay. so these barricades are here. by the morning. we will see more officers here. they're going to also closed off parts of this street. here is the one concern anderson some of the former president's supporters like marjorie taylor green, the congresswoman, she's gonna be gathering just across the street . this is a park, a public park , and right now, the nypd says they're going to allow those folks inside that park. and you just can see how close it is to

this courtroom. of course, everyone out of fear out of concern because of what happened on january 6th. that's why we're seeing all of these barriers. anderson they want to make sure they can safely keep people back and making sure they have control over any of the crowds that could potentially come here and try to disturb what will be going on inside. anderson. all right, shimon prokupecz appreciate it. more now in charge is not to mention the legal maneuvering, which they included the former president hiring yet another attorney for his defense. cnn's paula reid is also outside the court. she joins us now. so what do we know about when the indictment will be unsealed and how the arraignment exactly will unfold tomorrow? at this point, anderson we expect that the indictment will be likely unsealed tomorrow during the arrangement as it would be for any other defendant. now, media organizations, including cnn has been pushing to get this indictment unsealed more quickly than that, citing the enormous public interest in these charges . but look, it's eight o'clock tonight. the judge still hasn't ruled on it, so it appears

unlikely that we're going to get those charges any earlier, but that hasn't stopped the former president's legal team. they also don't know what these charges are. are specifically doesn't stop them from trying to fight these charges in the court of public opinion and making it clear that their first move after this initial hearing. will be to file a motion to dismiss tomorrow. we expect that they will get these charges at some point during this process that we do expect this initial appearance will be pretty free. like any other defendant. the former president is expected to have his fingerprints taken. but at this point, it's not clear if you also go through the traditional mug shot. there are concerns within law enforcement that that could be leaked in violation of state law. that, uh, we don't know. when does when does he get to see the charges or in his attorneys? obviously it won't be at the same moment that has revealed to everybody else. when the judge read it out in court, they don't they get to see it a little bit beforehand. a little bit

beforehand. we expect that unless they decide to do something different here that when he initially goes in for the first part of this process earlier in the afternoon that they should receive these charges now how quickly they become public. we hope that they will release them as quickly as possible. they will get to see them a little before the public, but it depends on how quickly they want to release them to us how quickly we'll get to see them. and what about television cameras? where will they be allowed? are they allowed in the courtroom? do we know it's unclear news organizations, once again, including cnn have been pushing for more transparency here, and that includes having a camera in the courtroom. but the judge allowed both the prosecutors and the defense to weigh in on this. and while the district attorney didn't take a position, trump's attorneys took a clear position in opposition of having cameras in the courtroom. anderson they argued specifically that not only are there security concerns, but they say that having a camera in the courtroom for this historic arrangement would add to a quote his circus like atmosphere, and they also said that it would

interfere with their clients. presumption of innocence now, historically, this judge has not been in favor. of having cameras in the courtroom, so the fact that the defense attorneys have argued against it. it's not clear if we're actually going to get a camera tomorrow in there, and there's a new attorney on the case for the former president. that's right, as the former president heads into this historic case, he's adding another attorney to his legal team. todd blanche, very experienced, white collar defense attorney is being added to the team. some people have asked what that means for joe tacopina because he has been the most forward facing member of the defense team says he's still on the team. he expects to be the lead attorney during tomorrow's hearing. some other people suggested that will be bland will be the lead attorney . but look that the other attorney on this susan necklace she is the one who's been signing all the things that have been going to the judges, so we'll see who is the quote unquote lead attorney tomorrow, anderson, but it's not surprising that it's adding to his legal team. as these legal

threats continue to mount thanks very much. our team tonight is cnn chief correspondent kaylin collins and senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elie honig, cnn political commentators david urban and van jones and cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller. katelyn polantz start with you. what's your sense of how the former president is thinking about this? he didn't really spend the weekend acting like someone who is about to be indicted. he was playing golf, having lunch with friends going to dinners and mar-a-lago. i think, though the fact that he has added a new defense attorney to his team the day before he's about to be around, does show that they are taking this seriously despite what they've said about the merits of the case here, adding, someone which i was told happened literally today is when they added this new attorney. someone who has ellie knows him. well he has a good reputation. he has good credentials. he worked in the s d n y office. um adding him to the team does speak to the level of how they're approaching this because joe tacopina, there's been some internal divisions within the legal team over whether or not he was the best person to take this to trial. i

asked another trump attorney about this last week, and he kind of basically said i'm not going to talk about joe tacopina. no kind of endorsement europe facing serious legal charges, like the attorney who talks on tv is not necessarily the attorney you actually want in the courtroom necklace has been a big part of that. i mean, she has been the one as paula noted, there has been signing things. she is seen as a very strong attorney here, but this is i mean, this could go on for several months. you know, they don't believe that it has strong legal merits. when i say they i mean trump's legal team, but they still believe it could go on for months. obviously, trump has been threatening the judge that he are criticizing the judge. i should say that he's going to appear before tomorrow. i think it still remains to be seen what that looks like, but watching him go into trump tower today in a way that he's never gone in there before. he has never been facing criminal charges as he's returned to new york, and so it is a different moment for him as much as they are trying to take advantage of it politically, raising millions of dollars as they say, having this sense of bravado, they're still taking it seriously behind

the scenes. he does not want to be indicted. hoenig. from your standpoint, what should be looking for when the indictment is unsealed. so first of all, there are two different kinds of indictments. there's what we call the bare bones indictment, which just lays out the allegations, sort of tracks the language in the statute books on or about this date the defendant did here by you know lots of legalese. then there is the speaking indictment, which is a narrative it reads like you're telling the story. so first of all, i want to see which one this is. i suspect they're going to give us more detail, and that's written by the diaz written by the d, a written by the prosecutor, so if they go with the speaking indictment, i want to see how much depth they give and you confront your evidence. for example, you may quote documents you may quote text, you may quote pieces of witness testimony. the other big thing i'm looking for is will these charges go beyond what we expect? i think the core of what we expect here is business records charges relating to the hush money payments. will there be some x factor? will there be some charge? that's beyond that ? and from the prosecutor's point there, there better be because if they're resting solely on the business records

as relates to the hush money payments. they're leaving themselves without a lot of safety net there, john just in terms of nypd secret service, or they obviously, i assume expecting there already been getting a lot of threats. what are they expecting? tomorrow? well, what they're looking out for is any demonstration that's larger than what they're tracking. where they're tracking so far is small crowds. small turnouts. um then there is the threat piece. the district attorney has received numerous threats. the d a s office has received threats. the courthouse building has received threats. they're assessing those in tracking those because those keep coming in what they what they have determined is they don't see any credible specific threats, although they've gone out on a lot of investigations to talk to people who have posted things about what they think should happen to people and, you know, building guillotine z and you know, bringing guns and stuff like that so far, um, they're pretty comfortable that most of that is hot air, but then there's always the unknown threats, so there's a lot of assets that are going to be in place. david urban, the

former president steve jason miller. i think tweeted out that they've raised from $7 million off this so far. we can't tell if that's a real number or not. how do you think this is impacting? his reputation. how people view did you really ask that question? how does he how is it impacting his reputation? well, i mean, look, anderson, there's been two polls out recently, right? the cnn poll out this morning and then recent quinnipiac poll, which both kind of said the same thing, right 62% of people in the quinnipiac poll found that this was politically motivated, right and 76% in the cnn, paul said they thought it was politically motivated, so it's not surprising that the trump team is out there trying to raise money off it and say, look, i've had people call me up who despised the president and say this is kind of, you know bs, and i think you guys getting railroaded here, so they're going to raise a good deal of cash off this. i think they're going to you know, we talked about this earlier. there was some reporting out that you know, the trump mug shot would be on on on coffee mugs and t

shirts and they try to raise money off it. i would. i would suspect you're going to see lots more of that. then what do you think? well it could be. look, i think tomorrow is going to be a big deal because first of all the images that you see, tomorrow are gonna be in history books. there gonna be a documentaries about this century in the next century. this it's never happened before. it's huge, i think for progressives and democrats, there's this mixed feeling. on the one hand, there's this feeling that finally something may happen. some accountability may happen for a president that people have been feel like it's been getting away with stuff forever. he was getting away with stuff here in new york. i remember when he was in the in the oval office. people call me every day. is he getting impeached to remove tomorrow? so you on the one hand you have democrats have been wanting wanting for something to happen at the same time. there is this nervousness we don't know what's in the deck dump documents. we don't really know what is going to be revealed tomorrow. is this going to be? you know, a big slam dunk case? is it going to be so convoluted that it's not gonna work? and so i think that you're going to

have both sides wondering at the end of the day, do we have a stronger system? because someone was held to account or do you have a weaker system? because it looks so political. that's the question mark your shaking your head. look i've said this before . um 22 years ago, i was chief of staff and when clint was being impeached, right, and robert ray faced incredible pressure to indict former president clinton over his his lying under oath right about the about his cases and robert ray on january 19th 2001, the last day of his presidency, cut a deal with him. and he said history in the american people will judge whether i did the right thing. not right here. and he faced a lot of pressure. and i say, looking back in that history, judging them correctly and said he shouldn't have dated him, and i think history will look at this and say alvin bragg shift in the data appear, and he made a big mistake for america. tomorrow night. he's going to fly back to mar-a-lago, and he's going to do a speech or a press conference remains to be seen. if he takes questions. they often call things press conferences where they don't actually take questions. so we don't actually know about that. i do have a sense that he will

want to speak. they said he wasn't going to talk to reporters. while he's here in new york. we'll see if that holds tomorrow. he is going to go back to mar-a-lago, though that is a good thing in the eyes of some of his advisers because they were worried initially two weeks ago when he was saying he was going to be arrested two weeks ago, he wanted to do a speech on the steps of the courthouse to come out to give this speech here in new york. a lot of people are counseling him against that. they've seemed to have settled on this middle ground. he did still want republicans and his supporters to come here to new york to have this public show of support. marjorie taylor green is organizing something. it's not totally clear what that's going to look like, um, when it comes to fruition, but we will hear from him, but he's been attacking the judge. that is not something even people in his own orbit. have thought was a wise decision here. that's the judge. he's going before tomorrow, and he was saying that he hates him and blaming him for the way. alan weisberg, the financial guy from the trump organization. was treated, so we'll see ultimately how he how he publicly speaks about it. we heard from paula reid earlier about the new

leader, attorney representing the former president. where does he fit in for the matrix of trump attorneys past and present. well, it's interesting anderson because the new attorney, todd blanche, is billing himself as the new lead counsel, which, of course is the is what joe tacopina has been telling us. he is, but if you look at kind of the merry go around of lawyers around trump, you know you start with joe tacopina, lead counsel in this case, at least until today. uh but there's interesting history and conflict here. so that takes us to another key trump friend and supporter, former new york police commissioner bernard kerik. who actually was defended by tacopina when he was indicted on tax evasion and other federal charges. he ended up suing tacopina. claiming that tacopina went behind his back and met with federal prosecutors five times and gave information on him to them without disclosing it. he also went to the bar association, but also he did time, right? yeah he did. he ended up pleading guilty and did four years to bring that complaint against tacopina

commissioner kerik hired a lawyer. 10 parla tour now, as you probably all know, from watching this show, tim parla tour is a current trump lawyer in the mar-a-lago classified document cases. well to fight that case, tacopina had to hire a lawyer because he was being sued by carrick. so he hired lanny davis, who is now the lawyer from michael cohen, who is trump's chief accuser. and the hush money. are you making this up? i am not making anderson. you can't make this up . so tacopina is represented by lanny davis. of course, who is now defending michael cohen, the chief accuser, but at the beginning of this conspiracy, michael cohen needed a lawyer before he pled guilty. so he got robert costello, giuliani associate and he was defended by costello till they parted ways and he ended up pleading guilty . but costello is the lawyer who was the last witness to testify.

in the grand jury on behalf of donald trump, basically saying that michael cohen was a not just trump's lawyer, but a liar who was the guy who set up the whole hush money payments thing in the first place, so when you when we talked today about conflicts within the trump legal team, you see a lot of, um internation battles changing of sides. crossovers that's like a six season netflix show. i mean , this is this is like succession. the lawyer version with a little toxic added, but i defer to ellie. i mean, there may not be legal problems in here, but it's hard to form a legal team. when you've got this many conflicts going on, elliot i mean, there is no soap opera that can measure up with the drama of the manhattan legal world. legally the big question is, is there a conflict of interest that cannot be overcome here? the closest we have is yet another angle here. joe tacopina used to represent stormy daniels , um and so fully represented

discussions about reparations. that's enough for an attorney client privilege. you don't have to have a four well signed retainer. another trump attorney is bringing up publicly tim parla. tory is bringing up that he believes tacopina could potentially have conflicts of interest on television, and i think he's right about that. so what the judge is likely to do with respect to campina. is first of all, make sure donald trump understands there's this conflict, ask if donald trump's willing to waive it to give up any claim on it. and then if tacopina stays on the case, he'll be walled off. you won't be allowed to cross examine stormy daniels. i will just say the new attorney, maybe an effort to instill some sanity, some common here. he's not part of this mayhem, so maybe they're trying to get some legitimacy going. alright eliana katelyn polantz, david urban van jones, john miller, thanks very much next attorney longtime conservative longtime trump critic george conway would he expects to see tomorrow and how how he sees this. playing out. later ron desantis learning there are limits to his power as governor when it comes to taking on the walt disney company and how the british royal family ended up playing a part in that lesson ahead. anderson cooper 3

everything, everything the entire spectacle. i mean, i don't know what i don't know what we can talk about after the trump lawyer right there. why does the why is he surrounded himself? is there are these the people who will work with for him? i think he's pretty much run out of lawyers. i mean, he had he had this trouble five years ago when he was trying to find lawyers to represent them after rob rosenstein had appointed the special counsel robert mueller and a lot. you know, he went through the list of big names. in fact, i was on a phone call, um, with him where he was asking me about lawyers and, um they won't represent him because he's erratic. doesn't pay his bills doesn't follow directions. um undercuts his own lawyers by, you know, shopping for advice, and it seems like he likes this sort of team of sort of game of thrones like no, but it's part of it. yeah i mean, that's part of the you know the his his manipulation of the situation wants to manipulate the situation as he wants to hear what he wants to hear,

which is part of how you know he's getting himself into trouble in other places like the mar-a-lago document. he's talking to a non lawyer getting advice about about whether he gets to keep these documents that he took from the federal government. it's just is no way to run. it's no way to run a criminal defense or any kind of defense program. you know, the campaign says their fundraising on it, miller says he's raised $7 million. we don't know if that's real or not, but it is very possible. i mean, it's certainly fundraise is on just about everything. does this hurt him? does this help him? it helps among the base. i think it helps the i'm under republican base because they don't want to admit once you start admitting that maybe trump did something wrong. you have to you can't it's hard to kind of stop the one thing. it's a domino effect. so you so you basically have to engage in this extended psychological denial and this displacement this complete, um, attempt to just shield yourself from the reality of who this man

is and what all the things that he has done. and that's part of why the base seems to paul seems to be suggesting, and it's probably true that that that that there's a coalescing here where people whether people kind of gathering around him, and they're they're they're protecting him. they want to protect him from because it's defensive debut. it is an attack on him, and that's what he tries to take advantage of. um, on the other hand, you know the fact of the matter is he's he's never he's there. never. he's never going to be um, able to win the people he needs to win to win back the presidency. and the more that of this that happens, the more distasteful he comes reminder of all the drama and the he's sort of boiling. yeah, his support is boiling down to its essence, which is not going to be enough to win a general election. but he's probably gonna get him the nomination. the trump legal team is saying

that they will challenge every potential issue. what is that? i mean for the legal process this could you know, ellie, honey, get some previously that you know something like this usually might take a year this case, but with dragging it out, it could take longer. it could a year puts you right in before the presidential election, essentially right in the heart of he we're going to have this man could possibly be indicted three, maybe four times between now and november of 2024. um i think it's reasonably likely he'll be indicted in georgia will be and we'll have to have this whole this whole situation under. we're seeing tomorrow unfolding fulton county and you know, with the news that we've just recently heard from about of the special counsel, uh, on the mar-a-lago documents case, um, tightening the noose a little bit. yeah that's going to be very serious case, too, and that's probably actually the most serious one for them all i want to play with something that's i bonds. the former manhattan district attorney said

on nbc's meet the press yesterday about about trump's statements about the current d a. alvin bragg. i've got to say that i was disturbed to hear the former president speak in the way he spoke about about the district attorney brag and even the trial court in the past week , and i think if i were his lawyer and believe me, no one is called up to ask for my advice i would be mindful of not committing some other criminal offense like obstruction of governmental administration, which is interfering with or ah , your bikes by threat or otherwise, the operation of government. i mean, is it possible that that his comments could threaten his own case? yeah, absolutely. he could and i you know, this is gonna be very difficult. juggling match or, um , very difficult thing for judges to have to try to deal with to try to figure out well, how can i muzzled this guy? i mean, you do have they do have the right to issue gag judges do have the right to issue gag orders on criminal defendants and prosecutors. on the other

hand, you know, this is a he's this guy is running an active presidential campaign. do you think there should be a mug shot? do you think there should be cameras in the quarter? i think there should be. i generally think cameras should be in the courtroom because i think people need to see what's actually happening and it needs to be diminished. demystified um on and on buckshot. i don't really i don't care one way or the other coming. appreciate it. thank you lot to watch tomorrow . we're gonna have more in a moment of the former president day in court tomorrow but just ahead of targeted assassination of a pro russia blogger. extraordinary new video from a cafe in st petersburg, russia. moments before a hidden bomb exploded. they're opening the box statue in it. the bomb is believed to have been inside of killing a high profile support of russia's conflict with ukraine. that's about to explode as matthew chance is in russia tonight with the latest. experience the elevation of electrification. lexus sales

rob what we need for him. russia was not being hard enough in its campaign. already russian police have arrested a suspect, a woman who russian investigators named as daria trip over spotted arriving at the cafe carrying a large box shortly before the explosion. investigators say the same woman was recorded inside the cafe after tartasky received the figurine. interacting with the blogger moments before the blast is also on camera outside the cafe is the injured evacuated the bomb site. russian officials said drop over was once arrested at an anti war protest last year, and they say she's an active supporter. the poisoned and jailed opposition leader alexei navalny, whose organization the russian authorities, also accused of involvement in the bomb attack.

navalny's supporters deny having anything to do with it. but this is not the first time russia has been shaken by the killing of a war advocate. this was the moscow car bomb that killed daria duggan, a last august the outspoken daughter of a prominent russian nationalist, the kremlin accused ukrainian saboteurs of this too, which kf denied. but now a second killing this time in putin's home city of st petersburg shows how russia's special military operation in ukraine is reverberating. at home. and matthew chance, joins us now from moscow. what happens next for? this woman has been arrested in connection with the bombing. and do we know how she escaped the scene unharmed since she appears to be outside in the immediate aftermath. yes good question. well in terms of what happens to her, she's been brought from st petersburg to moscow. she's going to be

appearing at court tomorrow, where she is expected to be arraigned, detained kept in custody before her trial starts in terms of you know how she managed to escape serious injury . well, actually, i think it's astonishing that so many people managed to walk out of that blast. i mean, there were 30 people also injured. eight of them are in critical condition. but perhaps this woman was in the right place in the room. perhaps she left the room before the explosion took place. that kind of detail has not been given to us yet by the investigators, and has there been any further reaction from the kremlin. vladimir putin. well, the kremlin have, you know , slammed this as terrorism. they blamed the bank ef, of course saboteurs. they blame the valley campaign as i mentioned for being involved in this, but vladimir putin tonight has also awarded the blogger tartasky with a posthumous medal of bravery. the kremlin's saying it's a honor for his courage as a russian war correspondent anderson chance. appreciate it.

disney ceo bob iger. slam florida governor ron desantis today is anti business during an annual shareholders meeting. it is just the latest, an increasingly visible fight between the iconic american company, the likely republican presidential candidate whose attacks on disney and what he calls woke, corporations have been achieved selling point for many republican voters. disney last year posed a law to santa's champion that would limit discussions of lgbtq issues in florida schools. the census later tried to strip away unique governing powers that the company had over its disneyworld home in orlando today, bob iger called desantis his actions and attack on disney's ability to create jobs. and so our point on this is that any action that thwarts those efforts simply to retaliate for a position the company took sounds not just anti business, but it sounds anti florida said by disney ceo is that the company appears to have outmaneuvered desantis and a fight that's been central to his political image. randi kaye has more on that story. now there's a new sheriff in town.

we've taken away their self governing status. there's a lot of little back and forth going on now, with the state taken control, but rest assured, you know you ain't seen nothing yet . florida governor ron desantis talking about signing a bill last month to give himself new power over disney in what amounted to a state takeover of the special taxing district. for decades, that district has provided the entertainment giant. control of its theme parks in the land around them, but disney had something else in mind. i cannot tell you the level of my disappointment in disney disappointed because desantis appointed board members political allies who were brought in to oversee the new district now seeing their power greatly diminished. turns out, disney quietly cut a deal with the outgoing board just days before the state's so called hostile takeover. this development agreement essentially strips the government of the government

powers and give those powers to disney. february 8th as the florida legislature met in a special session. disney and the previous board. hammered out a series of agreements to transfer nearly all of the district's powers to disney for the next 30 years. in fact, the board can take action in some cases without first getting approval from the company that was done. to prevent us from doing our job. and that is offensive to me. the term spelled out in one agreement signed by the outgoing board restricts the new board from using disney's fanciful characters until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of king charles, the third king of england essentially makes disney. government i cannot imagine orange county also yolo county, the city of orlando, or any other central government, central florida government allowing or agreeing to allow any private developer or property owner to have this sort

of control over a government and in the officials that run in attempts to reach any of the board members, new and old were unsuccessful. governor desantis . his office did send us a statement, saying the governor is aware of disney's last ditch efforts and in this letter to santa's office sent us today. the governor is requesting the state's inspector general launched a criminal and civil investigation into actions taken by the outgoing board. these collusive and self dealing arrangements aimed to nullify the recently passed legislation, the letter says. adding the deal appears to suffer from serious legal infirmities, including, among other things, inadequate notice. despite that disney is standing firm telling cnn all agreements signed between disney and the district were appropriate and were discussed and approved in open noticed public forums in compliance with florida's government in the sunshine law. in. ding that was published in the orlando

sentinel newspaper on january 27th alerting readers that have final public forum on the issue was scheduled for february. 8th also included in the meeting notes, receipts for advertising the public forum. and randi joins me now. so what is the what's next in this back and forth? well anderson. the new board has voted to hire lawyers to challenge this agreement. and now, of course, ron desantis is asking for an investigation, so they are certainly gearing up for a legal battle on their end. but meanwhile, this whole back and forth, anderson has caught the attention of ron desantis chief political rival donald trump and his supporters. the spokesman for the make america great again pack, releasing a statement saying this president trump wrote art of the deal and brokered middle east peace. ron desantis just got out negotiated by mickey mouse so and not so slutty, subtle hit at the florida governor, of course, but desantis rapid response team has also responded on twitter, saying governor's appointees will hold disney accountable and

also that the governor thinks 10 steps ahead. of course, his critics may argue with that, given that it does seem, he has been outfoxed by disney and this outgoing board, but we'll have to see how it plays out in court. anderson if it gets that far. interesting story, randi appreciate it. thank you still ahead. will the former president have a mug shot taken tomorrow? if he did, he would be the first former president to join a long list of prominent names, famous mug shots. details next. just three words tell you everything you need t to know. they tell yu why we employ more than 2000 workers at our factory in virginia beach, and why over 10,000 local steel dealers are putting battery power in the hands of americans. not everyone can say that, but we can made in america. real steel find yours. internet. without trackers.

john gotti, these mug shots of famous suspects have become iconic. harvey oswald's taken just hours after he assassinated president john f. kennedy a simpsons mug shot as enduring as images of his white ford bronco racing down a california highway. now all eyes are on the former president's movements and the palace intrigue is building if trump, known for his media and image savvy, will become the first former president to have a mug shot. taken or not. the leaning has been not to because a, um it's not really necessary . everybody knows what he looks like. it's not like if he fled the jurisdiction that they would say wow, we really should have had that mug shot. ah be if they need to. they can create a mug shot from existing pictures. but the real concern is that the mug shot is going to be misused. york state law prohibits the release of booking photos unless police say there is a legitimate

law enforcement purpose to release them. sources tell cnn authorities are concerned about the potential photo leaking. the trump team is trying to avoid it. i do have a problem with leaking of pictures. i think that it's because we're in a campaign because he's deleting gop candidate it's not going to help anything. mug shots are for people so that you recognize who they are. he is the most recognized face in the world, let alone the country right now , so there's no need for that. there's no need for the theatrics. no other politicians like john edwards, tom delay and rick perry attempted to turn their mug shot into more of a pleasing headshot, smiling with perfectly coifed hair suit and tie. then there are the mug shots that go on to become celebrated. martin luther king, rosa parks. john lewis. jane fonda, a badge of defiance. the world waits now for tuesday's historical moment, a moment that would only be punctuated by this unparalleled mug shot. sunlen serfaty, cnn washington we'll be
