2020 election has arrived at the courthouse in washington, d.c. as we learn the special counsel has obtained new surveillance footage from mar-a-lago after trump's mishandling of the classified documents. a brand-new poll out just in morning shows a race between president biden and donald trump would be a dead heat. there is insight though on the key voting block that could determine the outcome of the election. plus, we have new photos from inside the home of the suspected gilgo beach serial killer. what his wife is now saying about her family since his arrest. the suspect in court later today. i'm sara sidner along with john berman. kate baldwin is off today, and this is cnn "news central." ♪ a live look for you outside the federal courthouse in washington, d.c. where right now the federal grand jury investigating donald trump's

efforts to overturn the 2020 election results is needed. trump received the target letter as you know, weeks ago, so any day the grand jury meets could be the day they issue an indictment. in the classified documents case where trump has already been charged, cnn has learned that the special counsel has obtained new surveillance footage from the former president's mar-a-lago resort. according to a court filing, the video was obtained after the initial indictment was handed up in early june. that footage is connected to the new obstruction charges brought against donald trump, walt nauta, and their new co-defendant, carlos d de oliveira. kaitly katelyn katelyn polantz is outside the court with all of these developments. kat katelyn? >> reporter: any day, any hour that the grand jury is meeting, they now could be presented with that indictment, and asked to vote on it related to the former president, donald trump's

actions when he was president after the 2020 election, leading up to and on january 6th. the reason we say it could happen at any moment now is because this grand jury is in today. this is the grand jury that has been investigating january 6th and the 2020 election with the -- being ushered through the investigation by the special counsel's office appointed to specifically look at trump and others at high levels of the trump administration, the political environment, and they have been investigating this for several months, and then donald trump got a target letter just two weeks ago thereabout saying that he was very likely to be charged by this grand jury on at least three charges, three substantial charges, conspiracy, obstruction, and a deprivation of rights charge. if there would be more, that is possible. we don't fknow if there would b additional defendants or if they would be asked to approve this,

but we are in that window where they could be gathering to hear what the indictment would be, and it would be handed up through the court system because donald trump's defense attorneys did meet with the special counsel's office just last thursday. the grand jury was in that day as well, and they don't seem to have a huge runway ahead of them of witnesses. so we're watching, we're waiting. we're seeing exactly what will happen inside the courthouse here. we have a whole team of people making sure that we're not missing anything that would be public inside this courthouse, sara, and it is just another possibility of activity after last week was such a busy week not just in this case, but also with that indictment. another indictment returned against donald trump through the federal system in florida, related to obstruction of justice and the retention of documents after the presidency. a totally different case. >> we saw in the classified documents case that donald trump's lawyers met with the state -- or the federal attorneys and not long after that, there were charges that came down.

i want to talk to you about georgia. another case being investigated. similar circumstances. give us some sense of one more person has been subpoenaed to be a witness to that grand jury. who was it and what are they saying? >> reporter: well, this is a journalist based in georgia, and he is a journalist that has testified before. once before about a year ago he says in the totally another separate investigation, the investigation being led by the fulton county district attorney also looking at donald trump and others' behavior after the 2020 election, and george cheedy is saying publicly he posted a post on the intercept explaining he got an additional two subpoenas testifying for the one or two grand juries that are both going to be looking at possible charges that the fulton county could be approving there, that the district attorney has long

signaled she's very like to bring through the grand jury in georgia related to the 20 election, and what he was witness to. the reason that he is being called to testify and had been called to testify before was because he stumbled upon what he calls a clandestine meeting of electors and they were told they were having an education meeting, kicked him out of the room and then did meet to try and put forward electoral votes for donald trump that were not accurate in that joe biden had won the state and the electoral vote wrs to go tows were to go biden and not donald trump. >> we're waiting potentially today in washington, d.c. in the federal case. katelyn polantz, thank you so much. joining us is bradley moss, the national security partner at the law office. great to see you. we have one eye on the grand jury in washington, d.c. everyone on indictment watch, but i just want to start with

what we just saw in georgia, the subpoena for this journalist who has testified before that he witnessed this meeting of so-called fake electors in the georgia statehouse on that day. why is that important? why is it important if someone saw this so-called clandestine meeting? there goes bradley. >> no. >> i'm going to riff for a second while we try to get his shot back up, but in georgia, this journalist says he walked into the statehouse and he saw a meeting of what appeared to be a group of would-be republican electors meeting in a room. they told him it was an education meeting and they kicked him out. now he testified to the special grand jury in georgia about this first. he says he's been called back and will testify again in front of a criminal grand jury. that is the georgia case where an indictment frankly is expected sometime in the next few weeks. in washington, d.c. at this

moment, a federal grand jury is meeting. they are investigating donald trump's actions when he was president surrounding january 6th. any time this grand jury meets, they could issue an indictment. that indictment could be minutes, hours away. we're watching it very closely. sara? john berman can tell you everything you need to know. he doesn't need a guest. he can do it himself. he doesn't need no guest. here we go. new footage for you this morning, taken inside the front line of the counteroffensive. these ukrainian troops working toward bakhmut as ukrainian officials say they are making some gains. that push is coming as ukrainian drones targeted moscow again. the kremlin responding this morning saying, it's taking steps to prevent any future attacks. russia says it brought down three drones and one of them hit the same building that was hit on sunday. the russian ministry of defense called the strike a terrorist attack while ukrainian presidential advisers say the

strikes are a sign that moscow is getting used to a full-fledged war. nic robertson joins us from london with more on where all of this stands. you are now seeing russian, you know, citizens really seeing the war come home. >> reporter: this is really true, and remarkably the ukrainians able to hit the same building two nights later in the same, fancy district, a commercial district almost in the heart of moscow, an area where by way, there are some government offices. they're not particularly important offices. they're branches. they're sort of weights and measures, technical offices. maybe one of them has to do with electronic development, and may have a connection to drones. who knows why the ukrainians targeted these buildings? again, they targeted them a week ago. they targeted them by the weekend, and they hit the same building twice. that shows that they can punch through whatever russian

defenses there are, it seems, and that also puts light to the russian narrative that they managed to shoot down two of the three drones that were fired and use electronic means to make the other one crash. well, hey. it appears to have crashed and exploded into the same building it hit yesterday. so yes, for citizens in moscow, this is a situation now where the government and they will have to take appropriate measures and that's what we heard from the kremlin today. they said they had actually moved out those government workers from that neighborhood, subsequent to the attack on sunday. it is reaching into moscow, but is it going to change the political dynamic? will it undermine president putin? way too early to say, that but it does seem that the ukrainians are making a point of this, of using these munitions to really send a message to the kremlin. maybe they can no longer hit the roof of the kremlin building, but they're finding other places that the russian leadership does care about to hit. >> yeah, and certainly the citizens there, they can -- russia can no longer tell them there isn't a war going on because it is clear it's come

home. thank you so much for that update. appreciate it. john? the suspect accused in the gilgo beach killings is expected in court today. we're learning new information about the search for clues, including the first photos from inside the home. republicans are demanding answers from the justice department about what they are calling a sweetheart deal that was given to the president's son, hunter biden. and the u.s. women's soccer team narrowly survives a last-minute scare, advancing to the next round of the world cup. barely. all that and more. stay with us.

authorities say they were able to stop them before this happened. nick valencia is with us. what can you tell us about how this all went down and how they were caught? >> reporter: this is a wild story, and what makes this story even crazier is exactly how police were able to successfully foil this plot. a bahamian police source says they were investigating a break-in trying to gather evidence on that phone when they stumbled across written text messages on that phone, indicating that the sinister murder for hire plot existed. it's not entirely clear who that phone belonged to. police wouldn't ewillaborate on details. two local men were taken into custody, and according to local prosecutors, they agreed to carry out this murder for hire plot on this husband of lindsey on the island there in the bahamas. the three suspects were in court on friday. they did not have to enter a plea, and on social media it seemed to indicate social media planning to lindsey that she and her husband -- her estranged

husband attended auburn university in the early 2000s. he played football on that team and their social media looks like they were just a happy, church-going family, but it was back in april according to court documents that we obtained her husband filed for divorce citing adulterous conduct of his wife. lindsey herself filed the next day. we have the attorneys in those divorce proceedings, but we have not heard back. the suspects have their next court appearance on october 5th, vey. >> we'll be waiting. thank you so much for that update. appreciate it. john? the gilgo beach serial killer suspect will be in court this afternoon on long island here in new york. it will be his first court appearance since he pleaded not guilty to the murders of three women. we have also learned the suspect's wife has now filed for divorce and her attorney is speaking with cnn. cnn's bryn gingrass is.

>> we're not expecting much from rex heuermann. this is the next step in the process after he has been charged with six different charges in relation to the three murders of those women whose bodies were found on gilgo beach more than a decade out. while he's not speaking out and we have not heard from him, we are hearing from his wife or soon-to-be ex-wife from her divorce attorney who spoke to cnn last night. take a listen. >> everything in the house was turned upside down. dresser drawers were emptied out. the bathroom tub which was a vinyl tub was actually cut open. the floors were ripped up. the couches and the mattresses have been removed, and just piles and piles of debris that were left in the residence. you barely had walking space to get into the house. it's been extremely overwhelming for her and the children trying to piece life back together, of what it was 2 1/2 weeks ago.

i don't know if they're ever going to return to normalcy. >> reporter: piece their lives back together. what you are hearing described there is the attorney of the soon-to-be ex-wife of heuermann. dreyering how shees returning back to her home with two children and only allowed to take an inventory of what they have left. they spent almost two weeks sifting through that house, every inch of the it, and tearing up things to find evidence to relate to the charges of any crimes that are still being investigated at this point. they said their life right now is chaotic, and certainly as you just saw there, they are trying to sort of get back to some sort of normalcy if that exists, john. >> bryn, has the soon-to-be ex-wife as you put it, spoken to her soon-to-be ex-husband, the suspected serial killer? >> reporter: yeah. so her divorce attorney says they have spoken and we know that the communications happened right through the jail. those are recorded. he says obviously they can't get

into the details of what those talks are about, but they're certainly not about the case. i know talking to the sheriff's department, she has not visited -- she has not gone to the jail to visit her soon-to-be ex-husband, but apparently those communications are happening, and we'll keep you updated on what happens next with the next process in the case, john. >> it will be a busy day. terrific reporting as always. thank you very much. sara? the idaho woman convicted of murdering two of her children and conspireing to kill her husband's first wife will spend the rest of her life in prison. at sentencing, lori vallow daybell denied killing her teenage daughter and 7-year-old son. she said she had spoken to them after their death and they were happy and extremely busy in heaven. the judge said she had shown no remorse and no religion would condone their murders. the state department is working with haitians with secure the release of a nurse and american child who were kidnapped last week. a christian group funded by the

that's what i thought. introducing the next generation 10g network. only from xfinity. this morning, three top house republicans want to hear from the department of justice about the plea deal with hunter biden. house committee chairs jim

jordan, james comer and jason smith demanded documents and information about the deal that unravelled in a delaware courtroom last week. the request comes just hours after one of hunter biden's former business partners testified behind closed doors on capitol hill. devin archer told lawmakers he spoke to his son's international business associates several times, but over five hours of questioning, he reportedly insisted that hunter was merely trying to sell the illusion of access, and that the president was never actually involved. he was then vice president or a private citizen, involved with any of his son's business deals. cnn's zach cohen has been following every aspect of this. you were outside the hearing all day yesterday. bring us up to speed. >> reporter: yeah, john. when an impartial judge overseeing this hunter biden plea deal raised questions, and it seemed to unravel last week, it opened the door for republicans to, you know, raise their own questions about how this deal came together and

whether hunter biden got special treatment. the names of these three house republicans who were launching this investigation probably come as no surprise. they include jim jordan, the chairman of the house yjudiciar committee, james comer, and the chairman of the ways and means committee. this is part of a broader investigative pursuit under pressure from donald trump to really pursue every avenue possible related to joe biden and hunter biden, and then, you know, they've really increased their focus on hunter biden specifically trying to tie the president to his son's various legal problems. now that's where you get into what happened yesterday behind closed doors when devin archer, the former business associate of hunter biden testified for over five hours, and didn't provide any smoking gun evidence connected to hunter biden's foreign business deals and that was the expectation that republicans set. that was really what they had

hoped devin archer might provide for them, but ultimately he did not. not surprising we'll continue to see republicans, you know, initiate more and more investigations into the president with an eye toward possibly impeaching him. i want to point out this sound bite from yesterday. sean hannity on fox news was talking to james comer and jim jordan after the testimony. take a listen to what they said when they were asked if they could back up these bribery allegations that they have been claiming in public against the president and his son. >> well, every day this bribery scandal becomes more credible. >> do you believe that this is now officially the joe biden bribery allegation, and do you believe that you will be able to prove that? jim comer. >> i sure hope so, and i do believe that there's a lot of smoke, and where there's smoke, there's fire. we just heard testimony today that joe biden has lied to the

american people. >> so hunter biden's legal problems aside, republicans have been sort of putting out these allegations in public, and then trying to find the evidence to back them up. the white house has vehemently denied that president biden is involved in any of his son's foreign business dealings. they put out this statement really, you know, demanding republicans stop what they call a wild goose chase and focus on other issues working with the white house to accomplish those. there's no doubt that republicans will continue to investigate joe biden through his son hunter, and i don't think the cooperation the white house is demanding there is, you know, in the near future. >> zachary cohen, always great to have you on. thank you so much for your meticulous reporting on this. v sara? right now, authorities are trying to figure out why a suspect opened fire at a jewish day school in memphis. according to police, the accused gunman fired shots outside the school yesterday after he tried, but failed to get inside. no one was at the -- no one at the school was injured.

police later tracked down the suspect who had left the scene in his own vehicle. when they stopped him, they say he got out with a gun in his hand. authorities say an officer then shot the suspect critically wounding him. police have not yet identified the suspect by name, but a security official says he is also jewish. joining me now is a memphis councilman. thank you so much for being here. we rarely get to talk about what went right during one of these school shootings where nobody was injured. can you tell us what you know about exactly what happened and how this shooting went down? >> yeah. so as you reported, this is a former student of the school. this is an orthodox jewish skoal in memphis in my district, and this is an individual in his early 30s and i think it's a clear case of this is a young man that needed help instead of a gun. i think the school did great job with their protocols. the memphis police department did a great job in tracking him down and stopping him once it escalated to, you know, the

violent incident that it was and prevented it from going further, and that ultimately this is somebody that needed help, and they had a fixation on their previous school. >> councilman, talked about the suspect needing help. i am assuming you're talking about he may have been suffering with mental illness. how do you feel about red flag laws? tennessee does not currently have them, but those would stop someone with known mental illness from being able to obtain a gun. >> great. i think that's going to be the discussion we have in the days to come, you know, is what are the systems that we could put in place to prevent something like this, and governor bill lee has called a special session of the tennessee legislature in three weeks, august 21st to discuss red flag laws they're called in some states. what he's going to call is protection orders which is very similar, and it says that if an individual has demonstrated that they are a risk to use a gun or

they are a risk to the community, that evidence needs to be presented in front of a judge, and then that judge can conditionally remove the gun from the individual until they get the help that they need, and the name of the shooter has not been released publicly, but it's known to those in the community. the picture has been out, and i went on social media last night and i can tell you, you know, that they were very open -- the gunman was with their struggles with mental health and that they were, you know, posting about their high school experience that is easily for them to become triggered and then even three days ago, they were posting about a gun store nearby memphis and their interaction with it. so there were clearly signs. the friends and the family are on the front lines when dealing with people that are potentially violent with mental health. the government needs to come alongside the friends and family and give them a system to be able to, you know, step up, raise their hand and say, hey. this person may be a threat to

themselves or others. we need to intervene and have the government intervene and red flag laws or extreme risk protection orders allow for that system to be put in place for these people to get help and protect the community. >> is this something, councilman, that you will push for locally or do you see this being something that the state will take on? because, you know, there are several states that do have red flag laws, but tennessee is certainly not one of them. >> yeah, and look. i'm a conservative republican that understands and deeply believes in the need for the second amendment, but this is something i'll be pushing. the local tennessee legislators, this is something that we need. it's their job to sit down, to figure out the language because the language is unbelievably important to make sure that it's both effective and constitutional, and then yes. we need this in tennessee. so i would be urging all of my republican colleagues and the tennessee legislature to get to

work this month and to figure out how incidents like this and the covenant school shooting in nashville this past march could be prevented. rarely -- i would say more often than not, the government responds, you know, as an entity through our police force. this is something we can do to be preventive and help save lives on the front end. >> are you hearing some of the same sentiments from your constituents? what are you hearing from the community members about the potential of a red flag law and, you know, about this incident itself? >> yeah, you know, i don't think this is a battleground issue that it's been made out to be. so often -- this is more -- from my opinion, this is more of a common ground issue that most people, including republicans understand that somebody who, again, has demonstrated to be a risk and using a gun to commit a

crime against others or even a danger to themselves, they don't need to have that gun. i think that is something that people would generally agree on, and more of the disagreement of what needs to be worked out in legislation is how does the government intervene? what is that mechanism in order to remove the gun and what is the path to get help in order to receive their second amendment right back? that's the debate, but -- and that's the duty of the legislature to work through that issue, but it can and should be done. >> councilman morgan, thank you so much for sharing that with us, and we'll be watching to see what happens there in your state and in your city. appreciate you. >> thank you so much. >> john? brand-new polling shows president biden and donald trump neck and neck in a possible rematch. what's underneath the numbers truly interesting. much more ahead.

a new poll this morning shows joe biden's renomination more than they did last year. according to a "new york times" poll, 45% of democrats think biden should be nominated again. >> but also in this poll, but and -- >> and but. >> and but in this poll, look at this. it is a dead heat right now between president biden and donald trump in a rematch. that key number there is the 14% other. the 14%, the double haters, the people who don't like either

candidate. with us now, cnn political commentator, ana navarro. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> dead heat. surprising to you? >> actually, yes. a little bit considering that donald trump is under two indictments currently. possibly a third. possibly a fourth before this month is over, and that, you know, the people are still supporting him that way. yes, it's surprising to me, but look. i have been that 14% in the past where i didn't like either candidate. it happened to me for governor of florida. it happened to me in 2016, and the bottom line is that as you get closer, the election inches closer, the reality dawns on you that it is a binary choice, and that throwing away your vote is a very stupid thing to do, and so i think more and more people are going to go back to supporting joe biden. the trend is pretty good for him from where it was a year ago. he's doubled his support. >> among democrats.

>> among democrats. >> those are people who should have liked him all along in theory. >> yeah, but as a republican i've learned democrats really like to fret. they really like to clutch their pearls. they really like to, you know, just fidget and, you know, they want -- joe biden says something that i think he's going to -- you're going to hear him say over and over again. he always says, don't compare me to the almighty. compare me to the alternative. the alternative is indicted. the alternative had a four-year crime spree in the presidency, that didn't even stop after he left the presidency. so i think that alternative is going to help joe biden a lot. >> let's talk about hunter biden. his business partner testifying in front of gop lawmakers on the hill yesterday, and saying -- the word he used was he was peddling the illusion of access to putting -- to joe biden putting his father on the phone, but joe biden never did any sort of business deals like hello, blah blah blah.

is this a crime to you, like, politically it seems to be working with republicans, but the illusion of access doesn't sound criminal. >> well, if we're going to talk about the illusion of access or actual access, i would like to start talking about the $2 billion that jared kushner got from the saudis, and i would like to start talking about all the benefit that is ivanka trump got while being a senior adviser in the white house, as did jared kushner. so i think, you know, i think it's a legitimate topic. i think we need to talk about family members who benefit from their parents, their spouses, their siblings in positions of power, but the people who start -- who need to start looking at it also include congress because listen. if we identified every spouse, every sibling, every useless child who gets a job because their father was a senator or a governor, the list would be long. i know a few of them.

>> ana, i want to go back now to republican primary politics. this may be one of the few times i say this. do you know who agrees with your theory that an indicted former president will not make a good general election candidate? it's your governor, florida governor ron desantis who i think in more stringent terms as of late is going after the former president. listen. >> you don't believe that former president trump could win a general election against joe biden. >> i don't think so because i think that there's too many voters who just aren't going to vote for him going forward. the polls that come out that put -- i beat biden in georgia. trump doesn't. i beat biden soundly in arizona. trump doesn't. those are just the realities. >> like i said, this is probably the most frightened he's been. is this the winning message for ron desantis in a republican primary? >> at this point, i don't even know what the winning message for ron desantis is because i keep hearing all of this

rebooting happening of his campaign. he's blaming the campaign. he's getting beat by 37 points in that same poll and we saw those numbers yesterday, by donald trump. so he's got a huge problem that's not going away. people are getting behind -- republicans are getting behind donald trump, and he is making less and less of a sale. part of the reason that people -- republican primary voters are going and aligning themselves with donald trump is precisely because ron desantis has proven to be such a failed, flawed, terrible, awkward, socially inept candidate. this weekend he was in iowa scolding a kid for having an icee and make a joke about a 15-year-old who told him he was struggling with mental health. ron desantis has very big problems. one of them is donald trump, but the other one is staring him in the mirror. >> so ron desantis' own biggest

problem you think -- >> is ron desantis? >> yeah. >> yes, and that's a hard one for him to fix, isn't it? >> yeah. ana that are var row, thank you so much. so a nail-biter of a match at the world cup. that's putting it nicely. i think if you are a u.s. world soccer fan right now, it is time to panic. panic. the u.s. barely makes it through. what's going to happen here? morning. ♪ ♪ life after student debt is within reach. refi at sofi.com. you could save thousands and get to your goals faster. sofi. get your money right.

no, not the "x-men" it is the sign known as formerly twitter. elon musk is going after twitter for hate speech. and this is the action that is following the center for countering hate speech and it is failing to act on 99% of the 100 twitter blue accounts that the center reported for posting hate. brian fung is joining us with the details here. and what is happening? twitter is suing this group that says they do not deal with hate

well on their platform. >> yes, sara. this is about the future of accountability for twitter, and of course, twitter is under increasing pressure since the takeover by elon musk when he has brought on more individuals who have been previously suspended for hate speech or other violations of the terms and now twitter is firing back at some of the groups highlighting that, and in the lawsuit, it is accusing the center for encountering digital hate, and tracking hate-speech on multiple platforming and accusing them of a campaign to drive the advertisers away from the platform and violating the twitter terms of service by scraping the data off of twitter and accusing it of violating the u.s. anti-hacking laws as a separate allegation in this lawsuit. now, what is ccdh have to say about all of this? well, they are saying that they would not have to engage in this

type of the methodology if twitter were more transparent, and no surprise that you are finding more hate-speech and misinformation on the platform with twitter's laying off the staff and moderation content team and changing policies around enforcement of this stuff. so, here is what the ceo of the ccdh told cnn earlier this morning. >> there's a lot of unknowns that they are claiming to get to where they want to get. it is sounding like a conspiracy theory to me. the truth is that he is casting around for a reason to blame us for his own failings as a ceo. because we all know that when he took over, he put up the bat signal to racist, to missoj nis, and anti-semites saying that twitter is a free speech platform and he welcomed them back on and reinstated accounts

that were suspended for that kind of stuff, and now he is surprised when people can quantify that there is a resulting increase in hate and disinformation on his platform. >> sara, all of this is looking just like similar type of litigation threads playing out against other companies that twitter has accused in the past including meta and others. we will have to see how it plays out. >> and maybe they will get more transparency oddly, because twitter has sued them. john? >> and as i said this morning, u.s. soccer fans, it is time to panic a. fight to survive at the world cup. the u.s. team did advance to the knockout round which is nicest thing that you can say about it, because it is ugly. the two-time defending champs scraped by portugal and not scrape, but tied portugal to

advance. andy scholes is here. andy, i am not pleased. i am not pleased at all. >> a lot of people are not pleased, and because netherlands are getting beaten by portugal, this is the u.s. inches from elimination, and in the 91st minute, ana capeta gets off of her foot, and it is the fifth time that the u.s. is failed to score, but a 0-0 draw is good enough to get second in the group and good enough to advance to the round of 16. >> it is tough to be second. we wanted to go through first. i mean, this team gave everything, but we did not put the ball in the back of the net. and in the last few minutes we

had to hold it down, and we had to get the result and move on. >> yes, this is the u.s. women's worst ever performance in the group stage, and they won one game, and next up for the team is likely a matchup against sweden which is 5:00 a.m. sunday morning, john, and sweden is like team usa's cryptonite, and they have beaten the usa in two straight olympics, and so they have to flip the switch and play better if they want to make a run at a third straight world player. >> and the player where who is maybe the best, rose lavelle is not going to be able to play, because she picked up the yellow club. don't panic, but maybe they can turn it around. andy scholes, thank you. >> john, you need a little soothing tea to help you not panic. >> it is every four years. every four years. >> it is going to be all right. i promise. and right now, a federal grand jury meeting today and
