7:00 am
good saturday morning to you. it is july 29th.
7:01 am
>> you're in the cnn newsroom. the new charges former president trump faces in the classified documents investigation don't seem to be changing his campaign strategy. trump took the stage at a major republican gathering in iowa last night as a clea runner for his party's nomination. this was the closest he ncame t referencing his legal jeopardy. >> they have weaponized the fbi. if i weren't running, i would have nobodiment coing after me. or if i was losing by a lot, i would have nobody coming after me. >> the documents case is not the only hurdle ahead for trump. barricades are up in atlanta. police are boefing up security ahead of a possible indictment in the 2020 election interference investigation. and in washington, law enforcement agencies are working on a coordinated response should trump be indicted in the january 6th investigation. let's bring in national security reporter zachary cohen. explain the superseding
7:02 am
indictment. what's in it and tell us what all this means. >> reporter: garpg. s superseding indictment lays out three new charges against donald trump. two of those charges relate to alleged efforts to destroy surveillance video at trump's mar-a-lago resort. prosecutors are claiming that trump and two mar-a-lago employees tried to destroy this video after the grand jury investigating trump's handling of classified documents said they wanted it and wanted to review it. the third charge deals with another count of willful retention of national defense information. you'll remember in the first indictment, trump faced 31 c counts. now this brings the total to 32 counts. the document in question here relates to one referenced during an audio recording. it was in elg÷2021 along with several individuals in his office. take a listen to what he said at that time.
7:03 am
>> it was interesting because we were talking about it. and he said, wanted to attack iran. this was done by the military and given to me. >> we'll have to see. >> now i can't declassify. isn't that interesting? it's so cool. >> so the times reported on that. trump denied that a document even exists. he said it was a newspaper clipping or something to that effect. but we now know the document not only exists, but it was handed over to the national archives back when trump returned those 15 boxes earlier this summer. so new developments and new charges for the former president. >> and in this expanded indictment, prosecutors also named a third defendant. what can you tell us about him
7:04 am
and what it says about his alleged role in the documents? >> third defendant is a 56-year-old property manager. that's according to the superseding indictment, which described him as effectively doing various odd jobs around the resort. he's a normal employee by all accounts. we spoke to several people who know him. and they describe him as hard working and rose through the ranks to reach that valet all the way to property management. now he was an active participant in what they describe as a cover-up in trump's attempt to destroy these surveillance videos or alleged attempts. so the fam believes he got trapped in the legal problems. prosecutors saying he was an active participant. >> let's switch to the other investigation into january 6th. what do you know about the
7:05 am
potential timing of an indictment, if one comes? >> we have been watch ing the grand jury here in d.c. very closely. it's related to the 2020 election and january 6th. and so far an indictment has not come down, but sources are telling me that law enforcement officials are still preparing under the belief that an indictment announcement could come at any point within the next week. they have to wait on the official word from the justice department in and the international counsel's office, but it's clear in the minds of law enforcement officials, there's nothing to sway them from the fact this could be coming in the near term. >> zachary cohen, appreciate your reporting this morning. thank you very much. let's bring in former prosecutor and defense attorney shan wu. shan, good morning to you. talk to us about how that is for trump, especially when you compare the initial indictment, which had mostly to do with hiding documents and moving
7:06 am
boxes around. an attempt to destroy evidence. >> it's not going to change his legal defense or posturing, but from a standpoint of the strength of the case, this does help it a lot. it aides a substantiative count of retaining that document. the attack plan document. but the on instruction part is particularly helpful for the government because jurors like to hear what the state of mind might be for the defendant. and they rarely hear from the defendant talking about it. so when they hear he was telling people to delete or destroy the evidence, common sense will tell them that you only try to get rid of evidence that's fbad for you, not evidence that tends to will helpful. so that really adds to the consciousness of guilt, which is a powerful tool for the jury.
7:07 am
in addition to that on that substantiative count, for me looking at it, the great thick about it for the prosecution is that audio tape we heard that was recorded in bedminster, jurors love audio tapes. and before they charged this new count about that h,ddocument, t could have been a fight about whether that tape could come into evidence or not. but prosecutors call this charging the bad conduct, so there could have been an argument it was bad conduct and shouldn't come in. now that they have charged it, it's a no-brain for it to come in. >> so evidence wise this would be helpful to prosecutors, but yo say with the new charges that it's a no brainer that this trial will be delayed well into the election. why do you say that? >> with the addition of a new
7:08 am
defendant, that's what causes complication. he will have to get a lawyer and as we saw in the walt nauta case, it took awhile. but it will take awhile. then there's going to be an argument over whether that lawyer needs to get security clearance. they will a argue he does. the prosecution might say he doesn't. that takes time. if it he has to get clearance, that takes time. so every delay is helpful. and that could be complicated in terms of how you handle that and what comes into evidence. so it's easy to delay this case. >> do you see challenges for the prosecution and proving willful retention and these other charges over the fact that these documents relating to these
7:09 am
around attack plans, this were returned to the national archives before the subpoena was issued. >> for that particular document, that's one of the only better factual defenses for trump to a argue. we gave it back. now part of the problem for them is that it's not just the retention. it's also the sharing of it. and on the tape, if they can match those together, he sounds like he's sharing that information. he still has a problem there. the real defense that i see for them primarily is just this notion that he thought he could handle this stuff. he really mistakenly believed that it was his. that's the only defense i see them mounting in court. the real defense strategy going on is his campaign. for him at this point, his legal defense and political strategy are one in the same right now as
7:10 am
well as is the financing for his criminal defense. it's really greatly enhanced but his campaign fundraising efforts. that puts in an unusual situation. most defendants don't have the benefits of that. and they don't have this unique conglomeration. so it's an unusual case. >> is it unusual that we're seeing this superseding indictment? why do you think these new charges were not included initially when the indictment first came down? >> i think it did not yet have the evidence. there could be some questions where they are comfortable disclosing that iran attack issue, but it really shows the frenzied pace at which they are moving. they are still trying to wrap things up as they are trying to push forward. >> great to see you as always. thank you very much. let's shift to the campaign. we go to erie are, pennsylvania. how is the legal part of this
7:11 am
impacting the political how republicans running against trump approaching it? >> right, good morning. i'm here in erie, pennsylvania, where donald trump will be hosting a rally soon this evening. you can expect him to rail against these newest chrges during his rally later today. i will add that donald trump is very frustrated by this. he was very caught off guard when they learned of these additional charges on thursday. and since then, he's been railing against them in public interviews. we heard him give an interview with breitbart short ilyíli aft learn ing of these charges. and he used the same playbook he's used time and time again when talking about his mounting legal trump troubles. he railed against jack smith directly. he called these charges election interference. but he also pointed to how politically they are giving him a boost in the polls. so i think that's part of why you're going to see him talk
7:12 am
about that later today at his rally because he knows that these charges has based rallies around them. they get energized by this. even behind closed doors, he's frustrated and concerned about it. donald trump was also in iowa last night at the lincoln dinner standing alongside many of his other 2024 republican rivals. and it was interesting. he did not talk about the newest charges during that appearance. and most of his campaign rivals in 2024 did not either. but one did. will hurd is the republican who is directly been attacking donald trump on the trail. and he did bring it up last nugt. we have some sound. let's listen to what they had to say. >> if we elect donald trump, we are willingly giving joe biden four more years in the white house. and america can't handle that. >> iowa has an opportunity to say we as a party, we need a new
7:13 am
direction for america and for the gop. >> we must resist the politics of personality and the song of populism to conservative values. because different times call for different leadership. >> reporter: so a lot of republican rivals are not wanting to touch this. they the recognize by criticizing donald trump and the charges he's facing, they could alienate his base and the voters that they will need in order to win an election. but will hurd is not following that same lead. he's leaning in directly and attacking donald trump. it's really interesting to watch how these different candidates look at a continued messaging regarding the charges and the other legal challenges that we know are still ahead. >> thank you so much. president biden is refining his message to voters touting his accomplishments on the
7:14 am
economy. a round of positive economic news has been a bit of a shot in the arm for the president's reelection hopes. >> white house reporter jasmine wright is live from delaware. we are seeing the president leaning heavily into the benefits of this preelection rally cry called bidenomics. >> yeah, this is right. president biden's speech yesterday was all about selling his economic agenda to american voters. it's a part of a larger effort by the white house to try to get voters to more closely associate positive gains in the economy with president biden and his leadership what they like to call bidenomics. now they have a few recent data points to fall back on. first of all, higher than expected economic growth in the second quarter. rising consumer acceptability, and obviously, that recently averted potentially strike with ups workers. so we heard president biden leaning in a all of that revving
7:15 am
up his language when it comes to the economy. in maine, they do not adhere to winner takes all when it comes to electoral votes in terms of who wins the popular vote. so we could see president biden going back to again and again as we get closer to 2024. not only did president biden talk about the economy yesterday and an executive order he recently signed prioritizing manufacturing, but we also saw him take a swipe at republicans, as new impeachment inquiry language takes a foothold on capitol hill. take a listen. >> "the washington post" suggested republicans may have to find something else to criticize me for now that inflation is coming down. maybe they will um peach me, i don't know. i love that one. that's another story.
7:16 am
>> so a bullish president biden talking about the taking a swipe at republicans. but there are some warning signs ahead. student repayment starts back for student borrowers, the first time since the pandemic. also as well as a recent surge in gas prices, something that a white house official told cnn that the white house is watching very closely. but one precise way to sum up this moment was actually given to us by congressman hoyer. he said it's not victory lap time, but it is continuing education time. as the white house continues to show what positive things they are doing for them as the presidential campaign marches towards 2024. >> jasmine wright in delaware, thank you. extreme temperatures that have been baking the country for weeks now will stick around this weekend. stifling heat is stretching from
7:17 am
california to massachusetts. 100 million americans are under heat alerts right now and we have learned that the death toll from this heat wave has risen. a 53-year-old woman in illinois has died after her power was turned off and left her without ac. >> the prolonged heat in phoenix has the coroner's office bringing ten additional coolers as they prepare for an influx in heat-related deaths. it's so hot that people are getting burns from the pavement and sidewalks. >> the pavement and rocks and asphalt can get to be 170 to 180 degrees fahrenheit. that's just a little bit below the boiling point of water. we're seeing people who are falling down can't get up and getting bad burns. >> in the northeast, people will have to wait until tomorrow for some relief. that's where we find athena jones live for us in new york.
7:18 am
hello, athena. glad you're wearing a sleeveless top. officials have been stressing to people just how dangerous this extreme heat can be. what are they saying? >> tail elling people to stay of the heat at the hottest times of day. the national weather service has declared a heat advisory until 8:00 p.m. it covers all of new york city. that's why you're finding people coming to spots like this. this is washington square park. there's a fountain where you can cool off when it gets too hot. there's shade and trees. this is the opposite of the heat identity listened we have been talking about so much this week. we're in urban areas, the a asphalt, the buildings, the development, the lack of trees
7:19 am
that can make 10 degrees warmer than in the rest of the city. so this is where folks should be coming to cool off a as the temperature ramps. i can tell you it was hotter this time yesterday, but just a few minutes ago, it's not so bad. the humidity is what makes it worse, what makes it begin to feel warmer. it's going to creep into the 90s today. but with the index, with the humidity, it's going to feel much warmer. that's why the city has opened cooling centers all over the city. practically in every neighborhood. and the mayor and other officials advising folks to stay inside as much as possible, to reduce their energy usage. that's come ing from cohn ediso. so those are some of the precautions that officials are telling folks around here to heed.
7:20 am
and boston and philadelphia have heat emergencies to provide more resources to people, including cooling centers. philadelphia is ramping up its outreach to the homeless. we know that in rhode island, pools are staying open for extended hours all to give folks a way to cool off. as for me, a low tech way of cooling ajoff. a little extra wind when the wind is not breezing through here. >> i have to buy you one of those portable fans that i carry with me. that's too much labor for you. >> very necessary. >> it is. thank you so much. try your bst to stay cool. so there is finally some relief from the heat for people in midwestern cities like chicago. today temperatures are forecast to only reach about 80 degrees. >> meteorologist brittney ritz is with us now. so good news for chicago. but what about the rest of the people.
7:21 am
>> she was mentioning the humidity levels when the dew points are lower. that's what it allows for phoenix to get so much warmer. phoenix is topping out at 115 degrees. speaking of, 29 consecutive days where they have been 110 plus and we're adding to that with a forecast high of 115. much of the country well above normal. if not, right about where we should be. chicago at 80 thanks to the cold front. that is going to slide down through the ohio valley and into the southeast cooling us down too. for now, atlanta, 95, same in d.c. and we factor in the dew points, athena was talking about the humidity. the dew point factored in with 95 degrees, d.c. it feels like 103. and then we wind up breaking records. not just for afternoon highs,
7:22 am
but lows into the 80s and in some cases in the 90s across the southwest. so we do need to make sure we're taking care of ourselves with frequent breaks, drinking plenty of water and no more than 10 minutes outside in the heat. excessive heat warnings from phoenix to st. louis into d.c. we have heat advisories and watches. all across the florida panhandle. >> stay inside if you can. stay inside. thank you so much. coming up, an unarm aed semitruck driver is attacked by a police canine after being pulled over and surrendering. now he's talking to cnn about that terrifying ordeal. night. every night. okay. i'll work on that. save u up to $500 on the new sleep number® smart bed. plusus, 60 month financing on most smart beds. shshop now only at sleep number®. with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! uuuhhhh... here, i'll take that! woohoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar. enter the $10,000

the officer has since been fired and he's considering a lawsuit. cnn is covering this story. we have now seen this video. bring us up to speed. what is rose saying? >> good morning to you. so he's now represented by civil rights attorney ben crump. rose faces a failure to comply charge, which is a felony. it's going to be up to the prosecutor whether that charge will continue forward. let me bring you back to speed. july 4th when this all happened to give you a better understanding why an officer was fired and why rose faces such a serious charge. this started on the road. a motor carrier enforcement inspector notices he's missing a mud flap. so he turns on his sirens to stop rose, but rose fails to stop. we know that from this three-county pursuit, he calls his mother, who tells him, hey,
7:28 am
stop the truck if you haven't done anything wrong. then they get on the phone with 911 tell ing the dispatcher he' afraid. he doesn't ubs why police officers are pursuing him. we do see him bring the truck to a stop right here. he has his hands up. then we hear a state troop er nt only giving him commands, but also a police officer saying do not release that dog on him while he has his hands up. despite the repeated warnings, the officer releases the dog. >> do not release the dog with his hands up. do not release the dog. get the dog off him. >> just let a dog bite him. >> you have a gun pointed. >> i did stop.
7:29 am
>> here it is straugt from rose's mouth why he didn't stop that truck. >> it was scary. i didn't know what to do. i was confused. the reason why they had guns out. when had i was on the phone with 911 still and needed to listen to what they were saying. and i did that. and i was walking towards the state trooper because he was tell ing me, but i was still tht that was simply because in that moment, i had a lot of guns pointed at me. don't know if they are going to shoot me. so i tried to everybody that had guns out and focus on the guy talking to me. and then the two police officers from circleville came.
7:30 am

former president trump is charging ahead with his 2024 campaign despite his mounting legal troubles. >> trump i guess eer inned the w charges against him in a major gop in iowa last night. while at least one of trump's rivals took direct aim at him, others mostly ignored the new superseding indictment. join ing us now is jeff duncan, political commentator, former lieutenant governor of georgia. good to see you. i want to start with former congressman, current candidate for the gop nomination will hurd and the framework he placed around the trump candidacy for president that garnered some
7:36 am
boos. let's play it. >> donald trump is not running for president to represent the people that voted for him in 2016 and 2020. donald trump is running to stay out of prison. and if we elect -- i know, i know, i know. >> so we hear that from hurd. we heard similar from chris christie. asa hutchinson wasn't as full throated. what do you make of this sub primary of those with the midwest aggressive of trump and what it gets any of them. >> the truth is sometimes hrd to hear. obviously it was hard for them to hear that. this whole legal peril plays into trump's game. he's confused republicans all over the country to think chaos, loud, angry voices is conservativively.
7:37 am
it's not. these legal perils give him the photoer to walk through the talking points to make sure he's being mistreated and all these accusations. but what hurd is saying is quite honestly true. he's probably fighting for his freedom at this point in his mind. >> i want to get your take from your conversations with people on the ground as a republican yourself talking to voters in recent months. what do you think people want to hear from these candidates who are battling to be the trump alternative? do they want to hear them take on trump directly? >> there'sv?á certainly chaos o the battlefield. the candidates, in my upon opinion, the early candidates tried to beat donald trump light. the party has the opportunity to
7:38 am
really step up statistically speaking. we have the best opportunity to win the white house maybe ever in our party's history because of how poorly joe biden is polling right now. but we're missing the opportunity. we continue to talk about the wrong things. i think americans are going to wake up and be concerned about the economy, about the border and the negative effects, about international chaos, these are real situation where is we need a leader to step up and take the charge for a gop 2.0 that i often talked about we lead with our policies. we use empathy not to pick on the oh other side, but to understand the other side. i call it my pet project. >> do you think once in a g generation leader is in the race yet? >> i hope so. there's some that -- chris christie is doing his part in taking it right to donald trump. and hurd and others are really trying to be articulate. but we need somebody that has the whole package. hopefully one of those are able to step up.
7:39 am
they should be unanimous. he's hijacked the republican party. i was making this analogy last night. nominating donald trump for the republican party is a lot like peeing in your pants. it's going to feel good for a couple seconds, but you wake up and realize the realities of what you just did. we're going to get beat in the general because we picked the wrong candidate. >> that's a catchy analogy. besides the new charges that trump is facing in the documents case, there's this ongoing investigation into what happened in georgia during the 2020 election. that's the focus of this week's new episode. in your role, did you feel pressure from trump and his allies regarding overturning the election. >> absolutely. immense pressure. it came at all kinds of forms and passions. donald trump was as groanular to try to overturn that election as anybody. what you're going to find out is this indictment looks to be em
7:40 am
innocent. i think there's two things that will be very surprising. one, how coordinated the of effort really was between fake electors and all of this really shaped back to the oval office. the second is going to be how loose and reckless they were in trying to get all this together. there was a bunch of duct tape operations that were taking on the law. that's going to come back to roost for those folks that were abomination of desolation actors. >> jeff duncan, thank you very much. an all new episode airs tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. right here on cnn. we'll be right back.

in response a lot of cities have opened cooling staugss or given away air conditioners and fans to help people cope with the heat, but those measures are very short-term fixes for what is likely a long-term problem and that's climate change. joining me is a prch of urban planning and geography at ucla. thank you for being with us. i want to talk this the cities specifically. you have the dense buildings and high pop las vegass. how is heat mitigated? the buildings are not going to get smaller. people are frot going to spread out. what can cities do? >> one of the things that cities can do is reflect the sun's energy. that's what's being done with cool surfaces. but another way that cities can make things cooler for people that live there is by providing lots of shade. shade is one of the most
7:46 am
effective ways to cool people when they are outside and it's hot. so a person standing in the shade can feel 20 to 40 degrees cooler than someone standing in the sun just a few feet away. >> when are we talking? canopies, long-term tree planting, what does this shade project look like? >> so cities typically think about providing shade in terms of trees, but shade can be cast byb79÷ almost anything that blo the sun. shade is effective because it protects the body from the main factor that determines how hot a person is feeling. that's the sun's short wave radiation. so it's a preventive measure for heat risk and not really an emergency planning one, so we all know that cities are cooler when we have shade, but we're not really planning for it. so in the future, that's something that cities are going to need to do is intentionally think about what does shade infrastructure look like and we get a what we have today, which is most of the city is in what we would call a shade desert.

that means people don't have enough shade to keep them safe where they live, work and play. >> so this is the study with 41 million americs live in ban areas where the heat island effect has raised local temperates by 8 degrees or more. and there's a greater impact on lower income areas in these cities. what's a plausible approach to at least lessening the disparity. >> the first thing we need to do is recognize some people are heat vulnerable. in conditions like we're experiencing now in much of the south and southwest, there's really no way to get people safely cool outside. so folks are going to need greater access to things like air-conditioning and cooling undoors, whether that's in had their homes or whether that's in places like emergency relief centers, cooling centers. but then we can also do things

long range to change the way we plan and build cities. and that means thinking about not having spread out kind of asphalt dominant city zms where there's little opportunity for shade and the los of opportunity for surfaces to heat up and cause that late afternoon, evening heat island effect. >> last weekend i had my first interview with a heat director. i had never heard of the position before i spoke with the heat director in phoenix. of all the cities, phoenix needs one. 30 days now above 110. are these new positions keeping up with the need? are they keeping pace with what we're seeing as we're moving to this proverbial global warm ing to global boiling era? >> the chief heat officer position is something that's brand new. it's that not every city is able

to implement or have the resources to invest in. but one thing to keep in mind is heat governance is in its infancy. there's a lot of work to do. the other day when president biden announce d the suite of heat measures that the federal government is trying to take, those are just a start of the conversation. and we need to keep having the conversation. so there's a lot of great legislation at the federal level that could help communities better prepare and coordinate. right now, the extreme heat emergency act, which would allow heat to be included as a national disaster, but also things like the living schoolyards act, which would enable communities and support communities in efforts to bring schoolyards safe when it's hot at school. >> thank you so much. we are living now in a changing environment and with need these
