9:03 pm
telling cnn we have to be careful language here, that threats have been made against fulton county sheriff office employees and their homes for thursday. that's in wake of similar threats against d. a. fani willis. we learn about this shortly after trump attorneys agreed to 3000 3000-dollar bond deal, his first time being in money upfront in foreign indictments. the agreement explicitly forbids him from being social media to, quote, intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case, or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice. there is also this breaking item in new filing from special counsel jack smith, rebutting the trump team's effort to push the january six trial to april of 2026, we'll have more details on that shortly. -- no resident when i, women there threatened with charging to kill the president and youngest son. a lot going on, cnn paula reid outside fulton county courthouse starts us out. is it clear, paulo, why the president be released on his own continent?
9:04 pm
>> anderson cooper, down here in fulton county the way this work is that first you negotiate your bonds agreements, then you surrender and then a judge schedules and initial appearance for you, and arrangement. that's your first time going before the judge. now, in this case, even though this is forced indictment, this is the first time he has had to post cash bond. he's also subject to a lot of other restrictions that are unique tailored to him, including being barred from threatening anyone else involved in the case, especially on social media. we've seen him attack judges, prosecutors, witnesses in this case, and this appears tailored to him because we've seen four other defendants today negotiate their bond agreements anywhere from ten to $100,000. while they're also barred from talking to their codefendants, none of them have this social media provision. so, that's five defendants of the 19 in this case and 14 more to go with the bond agreements. >> what more do you know about
9:05 pm
the threats against employees at fulton county sheriff's office? >> this is significant,, anderson because he's about the first threats we have seen down here in fulton county as a result of this case. our colleague, nick valencia has learned that employees in the fulton county sheriff's office have been facing threats of them in their homes. last week reporting there's been threats to and 30s including fani willis, and even the grand jurors who voted to indict trump because down here in fulton county their names were published as part of the indictment. now we know the fbi is working on some of those threats, but it also appears that today's bond restrictions are part of the attempt to tamp down some
9:06 pm
of these threats. >> there is also new court filing from the special counsel pushing back on the former presidents request for 2026 start date. jack smith is accepting for a started on your second 2024. what more smith saying? >> anderson, clearly they're quite far apart, the trump team is asking for a trial date will be nearly three years after indictments, and it's about two years further out than with the special counsel is asking for. so, today, the special counsel had a chance to respond and they accuse defense of journeys exaggerating the amount of discovery. and misrepresenting the facts. now, the ultimate arbiter and all this is judge tanya chutkan. she's been a federal judge on the that's from a decade. she was nominated by former president, obama, i've been quite with her on this case and one things very clear anderson, she wants to move this along quickly. next week, she says she will set a date for the january six. trial >> paula reid, appreciate it. joining me now a senior -- trump and nerves maggie haberman, and in atlanta michael moore who like elder was federal prosecution his case u.s. attorney for middle district of georgia. this ruling canal from the judge, warning about trump can
9:07 pm
threaten anybody a witness, this is kind of an odd line. i mean, he's running against mike pence. if he tweets something negative about mike pence, where is the line here? >> we're in unprecedented territory and we have grown tired of saying but it really happens what you hear. i think are going to find over the line is and i think as we have seen with former president trump over and over again with social media and commentary he tends to test for the line. as we've seen in the federal cases against. and i think we will see him do it here but you are right it is a very broad stroke, and so i do not know what's going to look like. what trump lawyers have said over and over is at his free speech rights are being targeted and he is the front runner for -- nomination it's impossible to divorce all of this from that. contacts >> he tweeted recently about mike pence calling kim little mike pence, or little pence, and said he's going to the dark side. political candidates intimidate
9:08 pm
other political candidates all the time, again, where is the line? >> precisely, that's difficulty here. i think there's some tweets that are clearly over the line. let us remember what donald trump said on truth social about geoff duncan clearly attacking him, clearly connected to the case. but, mike pence is a little bit more ambiguous because like you said they're engage in a political campaign against each other. right now it's so prosecutors and judges are going to have to use their judgment. but, for every close call like the example would mike pence, there have been many that are far over the line. really, the question is how tightly do prosecutors and the judge police this? everyone has been chatting. somehow >> you know the former president walk the line constantly. he intentionally tweeting out, you come for me outcome for you. again, -- >> sorry, anderson, tell me if you disagree with me is this. you're going to see the
9:09 pm
difference between what the state judges and prosecutors are going to be comfortable with versus the federal prosecutors because so far we've seen at least in the federal cases at least a pretty wide amount of latitude given so far. they are clearly signaling in georgia that they do not want to do that here, but again, you are talking about multiple cases in multiple jurisdictions. there is going to be a collision. >> you know georgia well, do you see the judge there being tougher on the social media stuff? >> well, i'm glad to be with all of you. this is a fairly new judge. he's been on the bench for just a short time less than a year. it'll be interesting to see how he decides to run. it i will agree with this premise and that is the line that's going to have to be walked will be about what he can say politically versus what he can gas on the fire on his criminal case. so, i think that's going to be the danger and they will be the prosecutor's filing to many -- requests to sanction him in some way, and then get shot down. so, hopefully they will reserve
9:10 pm
sort of the nuclear option of having a -- or something like that until he does something that is clearly and over threats, encouraging people, responding to a tweet, responding to something that's politically been said to him or a challenge has been made by political opponents. i don't think it's going to be enough given the nature of the case and the fact that we are in the middle of a campaign. no way to divorce the case from that. i think it guides -- >> ali, what is the penalty? what's the nuclear option of that revoking of? on >> the penalties can be increased, bond amounts, you can say compose foreman enough, the penalties can include other measures like electronic monitoring, house arrest. this is all normal case. up to and including the nuclear option would be imprisonment. i mean, i don't think is any realistic chance donald trump gets locked up for violating bail, but it happens. it happens in real life. it just happened to -- as one example in the southern district of new york. but, the collision here politics and law is so complicated for exactly that
9:11 pm
reason. >> so, maggie, he's not going to go to this debate, he said he's not going to get any debates. >> yeah, and who knows exactly what that means. it was a sort of ambiguous truth social post. but, i do think he feels as if he is up in the polls. i think the question is going to be whether he can help himself. i don't think he wants to go to -- the debate in september. we'll see if he does if he doesn't. but, he has all sorts of issues with the people who run the reagan library. after that, i think it's an open question both about whether he will want to go into will even be onstage at that point. look, he is not a strong in the first two early states, and the polling of the state as he is nationally. i think a national number looks very different, but he's still very strong in the early states. , so i think his folks are going to stick to that and see little upset with him. going >> michael, the argument made by chris christie as well if he's we can iowa new hampshire wasn't too as well there, then that is going to be a cascading domino effect in south carolina and elsewhere.
9:12 pm
do you buy that argument? >> i think it's more of a wished in an argument. i see -- this moving forward full speed ahead. down here in georgia, you got trump flags flying up in the north georgia area left and right. somehow they've never been taken down and some are not going up. i really don't think that the question will be's performance necessarily -- if it hurts him, because i just see him the primary since the luge right here. >> michael, we're seeing thrust now against and in fulton county sheriff's office. how does that complicate -- around the actual turning in later this week? >> it's going to be complicated.
9:13 pm
remember the law enforcement is accustomed to having people make threats adam. speed at, them fight at them when they get arrested. there used to that kind of thing, but this is unusual because the nature of the publicity, the fact that it is so public and we're already dealing with the situation the ford -- looks like fort knox around there. that's something they have not been accustomed to either. so, from the jail, to the courthouse, and all of that, the courts between the secret service and law enforcements can be accorded. but, these kinds of threats are different than talking about threatening grounders or threatening jurors, threatening witnesses. i think law enforcement -- dealing with people who are -- and want to say crazy things and do crazy things. that is what the nature of her job yours. but, this is a difference in it that it is not necessarily dealing with one source of a threat, it is dealing with a source that spreads out its tentacles and causes other
9:14 pm
people to do crazy things, and that of the gotta watch out for. >> michael, appreciated. maggie, elie, as well. thank you, coming up next -- on the breaking news, the climate and apprehension of surrounding these cases the former president and the campaign. also live report from southern california where record rainfall came with an earthquake as well. the danger not over yet from what is left of hilary. our ears connect us to the moments that matter. give them the nutrients they need with lipo.

9:18 pm
there's also the recent reporting on threats against d. a. willis and today's bond deal designed to stop defending from making or inspiring more of the same. top of all, that he himself blowing himself -- his son who allegedly targeting illinois women's charge in connection with. the we want to perfect now it seems to be a panoramic threat -- from jay johnson -- home on security and obama administration. he's currently heading of a pro-democracy top sport when american bar association. so, i understand your task -- to say this about a year. how concerned are you about the -- threats politically about law enforcement election workers what we're facing? >> anderson, i've been concerned about quite some time. i believe according to public opinion polling that's what we saw on january 6th was the tip of an iceberg. more and more americans are becoming detached from reality. more and more americans are becoming prone to violence. in a climate in which many
9:19 pm
elected officials feel in bold and to engage in overheated extremist rhetoric. i said for sometime that extremist rhetoric makes previously unacceptable behavior acceptable and for the violence deranged among violent inevitable. we live in a climate now where i hope many people do appreciate federal law enforcement agencies like the fbi which is under attack. every single day is out investigating threats against public officials including the president, including former president apparently. and, i am concerned about the current climate. >> you look at american history in the early 70s there was bombings routinely a politically targeted bombings. huge demonstrations against vietnam war fights in the streets.
9:20 pm
isn't that bad right now? is it as bad as we have seen -- >> in many respects i believe it is worse because it is becoming more and more acceptable amongst conventional so-called conventional politicians, members of congress to engage in extremist rhetoric that's encourages this type of attitude. >> it's rewarding among many republicans. >> exactly. that goes in my opinion that i hope or tax force will address, that goes to what incentivizes politicians to engage in those kind of rhetoric. it's something like 400 of the four into 35 seats in the house of representatives are safe seats. so, the democrat is looking over their left shoulder at a primary challenge and the republican is looking over the right shoulder for a primary challenge, not thinking about attracting mainstream voters, and getting them to vote for them.
9:21 pm
so, so much of this in my judgment trucks back to what incentivize and disincentivizes those who have a public voice to engage in extremist rhetoric versus responsible rhetoric. >> it's also, i mean just given the nature of threats today, it's very hard to provide security to all the people who probably have legitimate reasons for grandeurs in georgia getting docks by people -- >> i hope that the state of georgia, fulton county georgia, feels responsible for their protection in light of these revelations. it is unheard of that the identity of a grand jury would become public. >> how does some, and you can point to all these pinpoints of aggressive behavior, violence, of just political speech which is beyond the pale left and
9:22 pm
right. how does that, and what does history tell us about how that changes, how do you get out of that fever dream? >> i used to say that it'll take a crisis to bring us together like another 9/11. guess what? we have another 9/11 called covid for three years and we had arguments about where it started and what should be done to address it. when. i talked to have been in public life for decades, they always tell me owes worse way back then in the 70s and in the sift sees. it was worse during the civil war where u.s. and others were beaten on the floor. this feels different to me because more and more, >> -- [interpreter] , including the leading candidate for president on the republican side feel involved and to engage in rhetoric that they have to know encourages --
9:23 pm
you >> also have meteorologist are playing into this in a big way which we know there are three broadcasts networks in the early 70s and certainly well it's great to have a greater diversity of thought and opinion out there, -- >> i'm 65. i grew up with the three networks. listening to cram kite -- brinkley every night. and, the we grew up in environments where you got your news from the networks, you got your news from local newspaper, or you got your news from the radio. all of these have conventional standards. now, there are so many different places for an american to go to get so-called information that you have these alarming poll numbers that suggests that a very large percentage of americans believe the 2020 election was stolen, contrary to all evidence and court rulings, and more and more people are becoming detached from reality.

9:33 pm
fashion goes way back. i was reading she worked at fred segel when she was just starting out. what do you want people to know about her? it's a loaded question, my mom and i were very close because she had such a long history in the retail interest-y. it was such a pioneer in it. i myself a bit in the retail industry my whole life and i owe that to her. i think what i really just want people to know about her was just to be selfless and kind and compassionate she was. she always put the needs of others ahead of her own. you know, we had a really rough winter here in southern california, and her and my father had opened up a free store next to magnify where
9:34 pm
they gave out food and supplies to the families that were impacted by the storms here. i think that's really just goes to show what an incredible person she was. >> i mean, it's just so sickening to imagine that this is how your mom's life ended. did your mom talk to you about why it was important for her to display the pride flag? and also the reaction she'd gotten positive or negative over the years? >> yeah, i mean i think for her it was just something that was so important. she was so fearless and any negative reaction, you know she just powered through. the flags have been turned down before by different individuals and she always ordered an even larger flag in response and put it up. so, you know i admire her and i am so proud of her and i know she passed standing up for something she believed in.

returning to our breaking news, the latest step in the process -- john eastman in a process which will be unfolding all week. the surrender of 19 codefendants including the former president at atlanta's fulton county courthouse, paul reed joins us once again. what are you learning about eastman? >> i learned understand that we learned that he is expected to surrender on wednesday. he is not the most well known name among these 19 defendants, it's significant that this is the first one of former -- who we know will surrender. we have a date. we know today his legal team
9:43 pm
negotiated a 100,000 dollar agreements with the fulton county district attorney, and now he will turn himself in on wednesday. it's notable that this date came out in a separate disciplinary -- a state bar disciplinary proceedings. he is taking those proceedings in the state of california, and his lawyer had to tell the judge i'm, sorry my client cannot be here on tuesday or wednesday, because he surrendering in fulton county. that's actually how our colleague, kim to learn about this. she found it in the filings. it is significant, because it is the first defendant or we have a date for the surrender. >> we are looking at a video of eastman on january 6th, rudy giuliani standing by talking to that mob. can you remind our viewers about the role he played in the fake electors scheme? >> he's a significant player here in this alleged conspiracy
9:44 pm
that he is charged. and he's a conservative attorney, and he helped draft a plan for how then vice president mike pence could help to overturn the results of the election. part of this was the fake electors scheme. this was installing fake electors. that was originally an idea that was put force by one of his codefendants -- he put that forward, and then john eastman actually expanded on, it's john eastman in many ways is the architect of this effort to overturn the election, trying to make legal arguments that have been widely discarded by most legal experts about how the vice had the authority to overturn the election. i can tell you, anderson many legal experts, many sources who are so much surprised that he and others were not formally charged in the january 6th federal case. >> as part of the former president's bond agreement, he can't have --
9:45 pm
with any of his codefendants, that would include? eastman >> absolutely, you cannot have any contact with him, giuliani, or mark meadows. it's our understanding that most of these people are not still supertight with the former president. we know rudy giuliani recently asked him for money, mark meadows left the president in the dark about his legal strategy, and john eastman have been trying to keep their distance as well. this should not be an issue, specifically when it comes to eastman. the bigger thing in terms of the former president -- is that the restriction on social, media anything that can be perceived as a threat on social media. that right now is not what we saw today, that i think is going to be the biggest challenge for the former president. potentially for the job georgia merciless. case >> polaroid, i appreciate, it thank you. take a look from the images just a 14 short time ago, here is from survivors and witnessing the devastation from these wildfires. so far they've killed at least
9:46 pm
