11:00 am
subway's now slicing their meats fresh. that's why subway's proffered by this champ. and this future champ. and if we proffer it, we know you'll proffer it too. he's cocky for a nineteen year old. (dad) we got our subaru forester wilderness
11:01 am
to discover all of the places that make us feel something more. (vo) subaru is the national park foundation's largest corporate donor, helping expand access for all. trump's newest codefendant in the classified documents case is released on bond, after making his first federal court appearance. so who is carlos de oliveira? what we know about the mar-a-lago property manager, just ahead. meantime in fulton county, georgia, a judge refused to
11:02 am
remove the d.a. from the case. we're live in atlanta. a georgia woman under arrest in the bahamas for allegedly conspiring to commit murder. the target? her husband who had filed for divorce. those and more stories coming in right here at "cnn news central." so who is carlos de oliveira? he just made his first appearance in the documents case. he's now been indicted on four criminal charges alongside his boss donald trump, as well as the former president's aide walt nauta. he came from portugal to seek a better life. started as a valet at
11:03 am
mar-a-lago, later became a property manager, but he's not well known in trump's inner circle. with you former aide said i've never ahead of that person. mere is what he's accused of specifically. a number of things, a superseding indictment that he allegedly helped trump and nauta try to delete security footage. he twice told someone that the boss wanted the security footage deleted. there's also this, if you can believe it. he's accused of draining a pool in order to flood of server room that stores that footage, perhaps in an effort to damage it. last but nots least, he's accuse of lying to the fbi.
11:04 am
according to the indictment. trump call de oliveira last august to say he would, trump, pay for his attorneys fees, and nauta had a different conversation with a different employee that assured that de oliveira was loyal to trump. we hear that more frequently -- are they loyal? >> this is carlos de oliveira leaving the courthouse earlier today. he did not enter a formal plea. he was released on a $100,000 bond. he will formally be arraigned next week when he has a florida-based attorney. randi kaye is live outside the courthouse. what can you tell us? >> reporter: he showed up right on time, wearing a navy blue suit and tie. he was here along with his washington, d.c.-based attorney
11:05 am
john irving. once inside the courtroom, he was surrounded by about five u.s. marshals, then the judge asked him to come up to the electric earn and he said good morning to the judge, and that's when the judge read the charges. he said he understood the charges and also understood he had the right to consult an attorney. the judge told him that both parties agreed he would be released on a $100,000 bond, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can go a as hees. he has to turnver his passportw. he also you can't leave the area of south florida without permission. so his travel is restricted. the judge also told him, brianna, he will have to get permission to -- he's not allowed to speak to any of the other witnesses who have been identified by the government,
11:06 am
and anybody he does speak with will need to be through his attorney. one other note. because this was not a formal arraignment and the plea was not entered, that will take place on august 10th. this is important, because now that his plea arraignment is delayed, the question is what will that do for the trial for donald trump in this case of the mar-a-lago classified documents as well? there is some indication that could be delayed, and of course a lot of questions about whether or not that trial would take place before the presidential election, brianna. >> what more can you tell us that's listed as trump employees number four? >> reporter: cnn has learned that that is yusul tavares, and
11:07 am
apparently de oliveira apparently met him in the security closet to talk about how to delete that footage after it had been subpoenaed. we understand that tavares has received a target letter, he's not been charged, and cnn has learned from sources it was tavares' information, at least in part, that led to these additional new allegations against the former president, his aide walt nauta, as well as carlos de oliveira. >> randi kaye live for us from miami, thank you for the report. boris? fanfani willis says her teas ready to go, this after 2 1/2 years of investigating donald trump's efforts to overturn the election results in the peach state.
11:08 am
the judge has also declined to disqualified the district attorney as well. bring us up to speed, describing some of the security components going into this week's potential decision? >> reporter: that's right, we're in the beginning of what will her potential indictment this window, a window she's forecast, when she's expected to make an announcement on whether anyone will face charges in her long-running probe. today is the begivening of her instructing her staffers to start working from home on a number of days throughout august. our affiliate here, wxia, also caught up with fani willis over the weekend to talk about some security concerns she may have and where her investigation stands. take a listen. >> some people may not be happy with the decisions, and sometimes when they're unhappy, they act in a way that could create harm.
11:09 am
the work is accomplished. we've been working for 2 1/2 years. we're ready to go. >> reporter: so you heard her say she's ready to go. there's still a question. exactly what that i could that mean? we don't expect her to seek the indictments in the next day or two, but in the next week other two, we will be on high alert for any potential announcements coming out of district attorney's office. boris? >> part of the reason for the high alert, some of her staff is working from home, and we've seen barricades, they've been preparing for a charging decision for some time. she expanded on the security concerns this weekend as well, right? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. i think what we have heard from this district attorney over the last couple years, she's gotten particularly vile threats. that was true again over the weekend. she shared a racist sexualized
11:10 am
threat with other officials here in fulton county, georgia, basically saying i just want to give you an idea of what our office has been grappling with throughout the last 2 1/2 years, and encouraging her county partners here to stay safe and stay vigilant throughout the month of august. >> sara murray, live for us from atlanta, thanks so much. jim? let's dig deeper with michael moore, former district attorney. mr. moore, you've been a prosecutor yourself before, the district attorney in if you woulden county says, quote, we're ready to go. does that sound like an indictment is coming, first of all? and what happens between now and such an announcement? >> well, i'm glad to be with you. i don't think there's any more tea leaves to read. i don't think there's any question she'll have some type of indictment coming out. i think you'll see trump named,
11:11 am
and some of the fake electors likely named as well, given sort of how her case moved forward. i don't know if it would be next week. part of me thinking there would be a week or two out. there's been another hearing scheduled by the senior judge that relates to her disqualifications, she may for that. >> is there a chance she could be disqualified? that's part of donald trump's effort to head off this indictment here. a superior court judge rejected those efforts. is that the end of the line for that line of attack for trump's team? >> you know, they're like a woodpecker. they just keep pecking away until they make a hole. i don't expect that's the end of their motion practice against the district attorney. what's interesting is judge bernely said the moment was --
11:12 am
and made nice attorneys, what's interesting is there's already a senior judge that's been assigned to hear this issue, because the fulton superior court judges had all been recused, so it's sort of a -- they've got a bit of a parallel track going on. i don't expect you'll see her remove from the case. what they're doing is trying to preserve and protect a record. they make these motions, they give the appellate court some reason to consider that down the road. >> understood. something we noticed in the super ceding indictment that came out last week. that's the trump employees, the property manager de oliveira, allegedly said to tavares, that they spoke about deleting footage.
11:13 am
giving that tavares was interviewed, but not indicted, is that a signal that he's potentially cooperating with special counsel? >> it makes me think he's coaching, or at least he was told just tell the truth to the grand jury. he likely gave his explanation and memory about what happened. i was interested to go de oliveira charged. that tells me they did not have a cooperator in him. so apparently this other employee will corroborate some things, or at least makes statements. the questions then will be whether they can make the link and the connection back directly to trump. we've heard something about the boss said this, the boss said that. is that going to be -- is nauta going to say he's the boss or he was acting as the boss, or the boss thought he might want it so he said it. who knows?
11:14 am
there's still 134 pretzeling to untangle here, by all accounts they have some testimony that would attribute this efforts to get rid of some things back to trump or nauta, it sounds like to me. >> understood. something to watch for when we eventually see if there's an indictment. michael moore, thank you so much. the attorney for the wife of the gilgo beach suspect says her life has been turned upsidedown. we're also following a developing story out of the bahamas. an american woman is accused of plotting to kill her husband, a former auburn football player. and an incredible water rescue in china caught on camera. that and much more ahead. you're watching "cnn news

11:20 am
for them. life has been thrown upsidedown. she needs to protect herself and her children, not knowing what's going to happen to him. >> the divorce attorney also saying they just want to regain in normalcy in their neighborhood. they returned to the home just last week as asa ellarup and her two children. they basically grabbed a few things and then had to leave the house again. it was about two weeks that police spent searching for evidence, as it could be related to this case or other cases in different space, and it turned into confide a spectacle of not only just the press and the police, but also just people in that neighborhood. that is why this family is asking for privacy. i can tell you, brianna, rex heuermann will be back in court

11:22 am
here? >> reporter: three suspects all together, two local bahamian men here. the two allegedly agreed to carry out this plot. there is some reporting out there that cnn has been unable to verify, but what we do know is the three defendants were in court on friday. they were not required to entering a plea, but they were told if they wanted to apply for bail, they could do so. the social media that's believe to belong to this american woman, these both attended auburn university, and the social media appears to show a happy, church-going family, but it was in april that her husband filed for divorce in thomasville, georgia, and he cited adulterous conduct.

11:28 am
. a new poll of likely publican voters shows trump head and shoulders ahead of the pack. the only other candidate in double digits is ron desantis, but this weekend he fired back at some recent comments. >> i think that helps me. i don't think voters like that. i think they look at it and realize, you know what? that's not effective. so i actually don't mid it at all. i thy it's just a remindser why there's so many millions of voter who will never photofor him going forward.
11:29 am
>> jessica, let's dissect that point there. for primary voters, trump's insults have been proving effective, but is he talking about the general election? >> i think that's an important question, boris. the primary voters i'm talking to, at least trump fatigue. they'll say things like, i don't like his mouth, but you look at the cross tabs in this poll, there's a lot of good information in the not just locked into that general number. we're talking about these two key arguments that ron desantis is making, that his's more electable, he can govern or effectively.
11:30 am
>> he doesn't look like he needs to be campaigning as much, either. what stood out to me about the poll, it's across the board, young, old, college et indicated, non, urban, rural, he's just dominating. >> he is. we saw him go after trump directly. time will tell. he may be better off just continuing to focus on his vision for america, as i was speaking to voters in iowa ahead of the lincoln dinner, that's what they were telling me. they were more interested in hearing what the folks can actually do for them. >> we've been talking over the last couple weeks, jessica, specifically about ron desantis's effort to restart his campaign, to get a different look to the primary voters. another thing that stood out
11:31 am
about the po, they do see him as more ral than donald trump, but that speaks to something about the priorities among this electorate. >> yeah, that was the one place and the one area where desantis did beat trump, who is more moral? what i think are other good data points that struck me, only 19% of these republican voters believe that trump's behavior threatened democracy. 17%, only 17% see him as having committed crimes. these ideas of the other candidates, i'm just going to talk about my idea and wait to trump to implode, because we haven't really seen anyone going after trump, except for asa hutchinson or chris christie. desantis is doing it more, but only when he's asked about it,
11:32 am
not from the stump. if you're a candidate and waiting for trump to employed, these numbers just don't so that. >> one in four of that poll, one in four republicans have that appetite who are truly anti-trump. so if it's so also of the electorate, you could see why some of these candidates would be hesitant to go after trump directly. when you speak to republican voters, that doesn't seem what they are interested in hearing. to your point i think will hurd is another name you can throw in that list. they're not really doing that well in the numbers. do you see a viable path for republican outside of donald trump? >> i think we still have a lot of time yet. we haven't seen the first debate. so, you know, let's give all of these candidates a hearing, but in terms of the strategy of going directly after trump, like former congressman hurd has
11:33 am
advocated for, that in particular does not seem to be working. chris christie says you really have to draw a contrast. the only way is through him, not by trying to sidestep him, but if you go to voters, that's who matters, and they say we don't want to hear this, then i question the strategy that voters explicitly are saying they don't want to hear. >> you have such a good point to remind us we have almost six months. however, i think, too, if you look at the trend lines with all of this polls that we're getting, trump's numbers have remained remarkably consistent. that's something -- that is also something worth considering. we haven't seen this trend downward. we've seen consistent support for him. >> the resilience is notable. we'll see if perhaps chris christie or someone else at a

11:39 am
convicted of killing two of her children and conspiring to killed her husband's first wife, has been sentenced. camilla, what was the decision? >> the judge is still on the bench, but his decision is life in prison without the possibility of parole. the judge telling her that this was essentially a mother murdering her children and saying this was really was the ultimate crime. he described it as horrific, unimaginable, and she sat there listening to the judge this entire time. what was interesting in this case is she took the stand during the sentencing. she started out by reading verses from the bible, saying that her children have come to visit her to speak to her, saying that her children say she did not kill them. she was saying she didn't kill her children or tammy daybell, her husband's first wife.
11:40 am
what the judge then told her, she was in this bizarre religious rabbit hole, he was saying you're clearly still down there. that was directly from the judge, as she continued to say that she was in a good place, that she has heard from her children, says she went to heaven and came back, and she told this courtroom that her children came back to hug her and tell her that she did the right thing here. again, the judge saying that this is a crime punishable by its maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole, and so, of course, we'll have to see what happens in the next case. she is accused in arizona as well, so it's not over for lori va

11:43 am
oldest truckers in the u.s. it's been around 99 years, 30,000 people will be out of work, including 22,000 union teamster members. yellow has been undone by a series of corporate missteps. it owes about $1.5 billion in debt, and more recently we've seen consumers shift from buying physical goods into taking trips and going to the movies. so that's led to a freight slowdown for yellow. >> nathaniel, yellow received a $700 million federal loan from the trump administration in 2020. what happens to all that money? >> yes, boris. not only is this terrible news for employees and customers, but also the u.s. taxpayer. back in 2020, yellow took a $700 million pandemic loan to help it stay afloat. and in exchange, taxpayers took
11:44 am
30% of the stock. that's all wiped out. yellow still owes more than $700 million. back in 2020, there was a lot of scrutiny on the trump administration for this loan. clearly the scrutiny was warranted. >> part of that scrutiny had to do with charges that yellow was under for all sorts of alleged wrong things that they were doing. nathaniel, thank you for the reporting. brianna? a tight labor market may be to blame for increasing child labor. at least 31 children as young as 13, were being employed at a meat packing company that operates in eight states. the department of labor fined them $1.5 million in civil penalties. i'm joined by reed makie, the director of child labor issues
11:45 am
and coordinator of the child labor coalition. reed, thank you so much for being with us. why do you think there's been a significant increase in illegal child hirings in recent years? >> well, employers are citing a labor shortage, but we don't think they should be balk that shortage on the back of teen workers. we think they should be raising wages. we think that comprehensive immigration reform could supply adequate workers for these jobs that most americans don't want to take. >> and in some cases we have seen deaths, right? >> yeah, we've lost three 16-year-olds this summer, one in a saul mill in wisconsin, one in a landfill in missouri, and one in a poultry plant in mississippi. really horrific, tragic deaths. >> involving heavy machinery, obviously serious consequences when you're talking about those kinds of accidents here. by june of 2023, you had several
11:46 am
states signing bills to lower age restrictions, the iowa governor said the stay would allow them to develop work skills. in wisconsin, there's an effort to children as low as 14 to serve alcohol in bars. we're talking about allowing kids around drunk adults in an industry that accounts for a hugely discusses proportional amount of sexual harassment in the workplace. >> we don't understand why it's happening now. we have seen the consequences of when chiles labor laws are not enforced. over a hundred kids in meat packing plants. i think you're right with the bill allowing teenager to serve alcohol.
11:47 am
do we want to balance that with sexual harassment training? if we have to provide that training to 14-year-old also, there's something horribly wrong. there's a former obama official telling us in many of these cases, it's the children of migrants who have somewhat recently arrived in the u.s. do you find that to be true broadly? >> i think they're ending up in some of the worst jobs. we do know there's been a huge increase in unaccompanied minors in the last four years. last year over 130,000 of these kids. they are extremely vulnerable. i think they have no idea how horrific these jobs are some of these jobs in the meat packing plants. i don't think they have any account how bad the conditions will be. >> how do you ensure you don't have kids ending up in these vulnerable situations?
11:48 am
>> well, we really, i think, you know, the current biden administration is doing a pretty good job of trying to enforce the laws, but they're a bit handi handicapped. they adopt have enough inspectors for the task at hand. we think there's about 800 inspectors for the country. each one has to basically cover 200,000 workers. we think they probably need twice as many inspectors. we've been working with congress for more inspectors to do that important job. reid, great to talk with you. thank you so much for taking us through this. >> thank you. jim? >> such an important story. the summer cold that some are feeling may actually be covid. the latest details and what you

>> reporter: exactly right. we have seen a pattern where sometimes in the summers we see a little bit of a bump. we are starting to see that right now through some of the cdc's covid indicators, specifically looking at hospitalizations, emergency room visits, test positivity rates, and the level of the coronavirus seen in wastewater. those are all up between 10% and 20% over the last week of data the cdc has looked at. but it's extremely low levels. look at the wastewater monitoring in particular. the little bump we are seeing, experts tell us it's even perhaps starting to level off already, which would suggest we aren't going to see a major bump like in previous summers. >> is there a good side to this? in other words, as each wave comes it's less intense, therefore, indicating that we as a population are more protected against this?

>> reporter: that's certainly the hope. there is an expectation that through all of the immunity we've built up, the protection should be there against severe disease. there will be an updated booster offered in september, targeting the version of omicron, recommended for folks. we'll see how wide it is. but of course we are seeing increased cases because we don't have built-up immunity to that. i think the real, you know, thing that people are worried about is there could be a variant that comes out of nowhere. we hope that doesn't happen. >> the take-up rate for the latest versions of the vaccine have not been particularly high. what about other viruses out there? >> reporter: yeah. there are a lot of otherhings circulating right now. rhinovirus is more prevalent than coronavirus, another common cold-causing virus. novovirus, rotovirus are higher than last summer. it's not all covid. there are other things circulating. wash your hands, stay home if
