how long have you been tracking the value of our car? should we sell it? we hold... our low mileage is paying off. you think we should... hold... hoooold!!! hooold! now!!!! i'm on it. i'm, on it. already sold to carvana. go to carvana and track your car's value today. a sad day for america. >> the 45th president of the united states has been arrested for the fourth time in year on criminal charges. >> this is the picture that will probably stand the test of time for donald trump. >> he has fundraised off of it. >> i came in. i was treated very nicely. but it is what it is. >> i will not support a convicted felon for position of the united states, regardless who that is. >> i think donald trump's going to do go down as one the biggest

mistakes this country ever made. >> i thought the election was a rigged election, stolen election. >> my question to the republicans who are willing to vote for this guy, would you hire someone with a mugshot? >> i am angry at donald trump for putting us in this position. >> this is ridiculous. we are going to do our duty to get the answers the american people deserve for this ridiculous indictment that's taking place in georgia. >> this morning america is waking up to former president trump's historic mugshot and truly unprecedented. he was arrested, booked, and photographed at the fulton county jail as inpate p 01135809. he was at the jail for 20 minutes. he turned himself in on 13 felony charges for trying to overturn his election loss in georgia. this is trump's fourth arrest in five months but the first time he had his mugshot taken and this morning the photo is on the front page of newspapers and

tabloids across the nation and around the world. sources tell cnn trump made the intentional decision to look defiant in that mugshot. >> he flaunted the photo on x, formerly known as twitter, with the caption never surrender. his first post after he was banned after the january 6th insurrection and later reinstated. three more of trump's co-defendants have turned themselves in, including jeffrey clark. that means all but two of trump's 18 co-defendants have now surrendered before today's noon eastern deadline. >> kristen holmes joins us live in new jersey near trump's golf course. he is back there. we had that reporting that was intentional to miake that look defiant. he didn't hold a rally, didn't make remarks after this. that's different than after. so other indictments. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, look, we know from talking to sources

close to trump that 'doesn't enjoy this. that even though they are taking this media narrative, trying to take control of it, spin it, this is not something he likes, getting arrested, being paraded around, getting a mugshot. he believes it is beneath him. that's what multiple trump sources told me. when it comes to the mugshot it is no surprise this was somewhat staged, he had several conversations with advisors about how compactionly to make himself look. would it be smiling? should it be defiant. that's what they landed on. when he was arraigned in new york and they talked about him into that courthouse, they spent a long time talking about what his facial expressions would be then. donald trump cares about the perception of donald trump. one thing that i thought was very interesting is we normally hear him talking about election interference, but he did talk openly about the experience at the fulton county jail saying it wasn't a good one.

take a listen. >> terrible experience. i came in. i was treated very nicely, but it is what it is. i took a mugshot, which i never heard the words mugshot. they didn't teach me that at the wharton school of finance. i had to go through a process. election interference. >> and you can hear it in his voice. he is, obviously, not excited when he is talking about having to go through this and dealing with this. but i will say his team was very happy about the fact that that mugshot looked the way it did. they started fundraising off it and already put it on twitter trying to take control of that media narrative. >> thank you. joining us now former attorney for the house january 6th committee, cnn senior analyst elie honig, host of the of "the

axe files" podcast david axlerod and a former senator testified in this probe. david, you are so good at giving us the big picture of where we are. i believe so many people have become numb to this. this has never happened before in american history. a mugshot like that never happened before. >> no. i mean, it's stunning as has been every chapter of this sad saga. but the thing that is concerning, poppy, to me is that we had a bunch of candidates stand on a stage the other night and even if they couldn't defend trump's actions and behavior, they defended the narrative that the system somehow is weaponized, that the system is corrupt. and my concern is that this has taken root and that damage will be there beyond donald trump. whatever happens in this election. this is a very, very dangerous

not just sad, but dangerous time for our country. >> scott jennings, who was with us last hour, said republicans will not vote for a nominee who has been convicted. i wonder if you agree, if there are people who consider what we saw on the stage at the debate where the six candidates said yes, if he is convicted i will support him as nominee. do you think voters will split? >> there will be some. there will be folks who if someone is convicted of a felony, you know -- >> can he win the nomination? >> well, yeah, he can win the nomination because you are talking about the primary voters that come out and that's what's problematic for the republican party right now, which is the folks that control their party, the folks that self-identify as republicans are people who support trump and really do see this prosecution as political in nature. i'll tell you that in georgia on the ground, there are elected

republicans who are pushing that narrative every day. so when you see people who are legitimate elected officials who are saying this and attacking the district attorney and saying it's political, that really just bolsters trump's claims. so i think he can absolutely win the nomination. >> as a prosecutor, let's look at the georgia case that he was arrested for last night, one of the co-defendants of the 18 co-defendants wants this trial in two months. and he is going to get it. do the rest of them stick with him and actually go to trial with trump, or do you see a number of them with far less resources than trump has flipping on him? >> i think -- >> or pleading out? >> yeah. i think each defendant is going to take stock of where they stand. what kind of pressure they are on and how they see the evidence and how it holds up against them, because they are going to be not similarly situated.

going quickly has down sides. less time to consider the evidence. less time for making pretrial motions. you don't have the same amount of time to structure your case and build the best defense possible. taking time has a downside as well. you will end up at trial potentially with former president trump which is the worst-case scenario if you are one of those ear defendants. that means the full scope of this case is going to be on display for a jury and you are going to be next to the former president and that's always tough. you don't want to be next to the big boss. you want to be seen as far away from him as possible. >> put the 19 defendants back up. elie, when we look at below the trump, you know, eastman, jenna ellis level and names people don't know, how influential will the chesebro trial be? if you are considering a plea deal do you say i will hold off until i watch this trial. >> 100%. why not?

you get a free look at the evidence, first of all. if imagine that advantage, getting it watch the whole trial play out, what worked, what didn't work. assuming this goes as expected, that doesn't have binding presidential value. as a prosecutor i was borderline obsessed with trying everyone at once. you wanted to get it over with, show the jury the whole scope, i didn't want to chop up the case in little bits and i didn't want the other defendants watching every move i made. this is a really important move by kenneth chesebro. bold move. and it's going to have major implications for the other 18. >> if this accelerates that trial, trump has inextricably bound his campaign and election with his legal status and he has annum pairtive to try to push

these cases as far from the primaries and election as for as he can. he could sew up that nomination relative to this discussion we were having earlier before people know whether he was convicted or not. and so you could be headed to the republican national convention with a newly convicted nominee. i mean, you talk about moments we've never encountered before. how about that one. >> what if he is not convicted? what if he dgoes to trial and there is a hung jury? >> i think about that all the time. you know, the new york case is supposed to come up in march. we will see what happens with that one. but i think that anything that vindicates trump will give -- will put wind in his sails, even if there are other trials still pending. >> i want to play your guest on the podcast. sally yates. just to remind people, she was

the acting attorney general 2017, fired by trump. let's listen to part of what she told you. >> it's incredibly corrosive. it happens impacts beyond what happens in an donald trump case. when doj is prosecuting the run of the mill cases, too, and jurors have not a healthy skepticism but a cynicism and distrust about their law enforcement institutions. that's incredibly corrosive, whether it's the supreme court or the department of justice or free press or all of these democratic institutions that are so important for the fabric of our country, you know, i kind of thought during the trump administration that the fabric was fraying. it feels like it's just ripping right now more than fraying. >> what is she talking about, the there. >> she is talking about faith in institutions, faith in the legitimacy of the criminal

justice system, the legitimacy of our democratic institutions. trump's political project now relies on tearing down public faith in all of these because you have to believe his narrative or the narrative of these instatitutions that he bre the rules, broke the law. so if every day that he echoes his message and others support it is a blow. this is the point i was making before. we should point out that sally yates was for years and years the u.s. attorney in northern georgia and is very familiar with that terrain. also a very, very celebrated prosecutor of public corruption cases. took a lot of heat down there for some of the corruption cases she prosecuted. so she knows from when she speaks on these matters. >> jen, alec, david, i should say, elie, thank you so much. >> you were thinking axlerod.

>> i was thinking x. then i was like, don't call him x. >> as we mentioned, fani willis pushing to get donald trump's trial underway in about 60 days, 59, to be exact. is that possible for a case of this magnitude? we will ask a former prosecutor who worked with willis at the fulton county d.a.'s office next. s of protein for muscle health versusus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-insnspired flavor. learn more at t boost.com/tv (josh allen) is this your plan to watch the gagame today?

i think they overcharged this case by having 19 defendants. she counting on 16, 15 of these defendants pleading guilty and becoming state's evidence against donald trump. i'm not sure that's going to happen in a case like this. this is not, you know, r.i.c.o. has do with organized crime. this is a crime at all, i think it's a disorganized crime. >> that was republican congressman ken buck, a former prosecutor, telling jake tapper last night he thinks district attorney fani willis overcharged with r.i.c.o. joining us now is former fulton county senior assistant district attorney charlie bailey, previously worked with fani willis on a past case that brought r.i.c.o. charges. also with us cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller. gentlemen, welcome to you both. mr. bailey, let me start but and your thoughts of what we heard from congressman buck there. >> well, all due respect to the congressman, i don't think he knows as much about r.i.c.o. prosecutions as fani willis.

you know, how good or bad criminals are at attempting to commit their crimes doesn't determine whether they get charged with a conspiracy. and what's clear in this case is you had several, call them mini conspiracies going on, all towards the same end, which was to alter the electoral votes sent to washington, d.c., from the state of georgia. and so what, you know, fannie's position here as the elected district attorney of fulton countyi's position here as the elected district attorney of fulton county containing the capital city of our state is protect the people of georgia. and the actions that were taken by the different individuals violated the law. more importantly, violated the rights of the people of georgia. and she is standing up for them and calling it like it is and holding them accountable. >> so, john, the big event that happened, obviously, yesterday,

the president turning himself in, we are looking ahead to arraignments in early september. what are the concerns from a security perspective as we look ahead to that flurry of activity? >> i think yesterday was a dry run about getting him in and getting him out, and that all went just as timed and without incident. the issue with the arraignment is, how many people are going to be at the arraignment? people are looking to sever. at this point, you know, you are potentially going to be arraigning a lot of people. it further complicates it. this is something they have been planning for for a long time. >> they are ready? >> yeah. >> charlie, to you, the october 23rd trial date, this was, of course, prompted by the speedy trial request of kenneth chesebro, d.a. willis then picked this date, a judge approved it for just him. take us inside that office, what it looks like now that this is happening in two months.

>> well, knowing fani as i to, they were ready to try this case well before they indicted it. they know more about this case and the evidence than any of the criminal defense attorneys. it's quite the gam tbl to file a speedy trial demand as mr. chesebro's attorneys have done. they are getting ready for trial. and they are going to be ready for trial. and whether that will be just mr. chesebro, whether it will be the whole thing, some others with him, that will be determined by the judge. but you don't bring any case without being ready for trial. you certainly don't bring this case. and fani willis doesn't bring cases like this without being ready for trial when they indict it. >> with fewer than four hours, john, from the deadline for everybody to turn themselves in there are two people outstanding. one spent the night inside the jail and that's harrison floyd, who is the leader of black voices for trump. why is he still there?

>> he may be spending more than the night. he has got two problems. a little one and a big one. the small problem is apparently he didn't go to the courthouse with his attorneys ahead of time to arrange bond and then go to the jail simply to be processed. he showed up as someone that the district attorney had a warrant for in this case, who had not arranged bond. once you are in the jail without that prearranged, that means you are going to have to wait until you can go before a judge and make that bail application and arrange bond and so on. that's the little problem. the big problem is he popped for a warrant. when they run the prints at the jail, he is wanted by federal authorities for not appearing in a case in maryland where few fbi agents working in the jack smith probe, not the fulton county probe, served him with a grand jury subpoena and he allegedly assaulted one of them. he says they didn't identify themselves, they followed him up the stairs of his house, he didn't know who they were, he told police allegedly they were lucky they weren't shot.

the fbi alleges they identified himselves, he bumped one of them, knock him backwards. he didn't thshow up in court. even if bond is arranged in this case, he will probably be held until he is turned over to federal authorities in atlanta to be transported for that case. >> he is in for a while. >> i think the weekend at least, unless they pull all this together in a different way. >> charlie, last question for you. d.a. willis has been labeled as a partisan and, therefore, this indictment as partisan, and in part because of a fundraiser that she held for your campaign for lieutenant governor, you are running against the current lieutenant governor, burt jones. do you regret that fundraiser? >> no, i don't regret that fundraiser no mar than i regret fundraisers many friends helped me with. bottom line, victor, is fani endorsed me and was supporting

me before i even got in the lieutenant governor's race when he was running for attorney general. before burt jones was running for lieutenant governor. her support for me, giving me money, hosting a fundraiser doesn't have anything to do with anything other than we are friends and we worked together and she believed in me. the judge maded decision the judge made and that's his call to make. nothing about fani's case has changed. she has been following the evidence and she brought the charges that she brought. and i think, you know, when we sit here and wetalk about democ can't, you know, indict republicans and republicans can't indict democrats, we're really straining into -- straying into authoritarian territory. it doesn't matter who you are. it doesn't matter your political party. the only thing that matters under the rule of law is what you did or did not do. >> yeah, i will add here the

context that burt jones was one of the alleged fake electors as he is now lieutenant governor and you were running against him. i appreciate your time, charlie bailey. and john miller, always good to have you. >> thank you. >> fascinating conversation. important questions. ahead, a special report. a conviction integrity unit in the queens district attorney's office reinvestigating cases securing the release of more than 100 people wrongfully convicted. one of those, sham sham, who had his murder conviction -- >> i was worried about not being there for my mom. i felt like i didn't even do anything wrong. listen up, you d dogs with allergic itch! today's talking lesson is just one word: apoquel. ap--o--quel.

combined 56 years in prison for crimes the district attorney in queens, new york, now says they

did not commit. their convictions were overturned yesterday after newly discovered evidence was found by a specialized team within the queens d.a.'s office called the conviction integrity unit, or ciu. the same ciu has won over 100 wrongful conviction claims since it was started three years ago, and one of those cases was the case of shamel capers, who spent eight years behind bars starting at just 16 years old. for capers and his mother, it has been a long road to justice. >> my first night was one of my longest nights. i am just in shock. >> he was 16 years old when he was arrested, charged with the murder of a teenage girl, and convicted. he was sentenced to 15 years to life behind bars. >> i don't even know how to use the phone just to call my mom. >> what is it like hearing shamelle describe what he went through? >> it's hard. it's hard. it hurts.

>> in may of 2013, 14-year-old deja robinson wriding a bus hom from a sweet 16 party. 11 bullets were fired into the bus and one hit her in the head. she died on the street corner. >> happy little girl. loving. she was so friendly. she was kind. >> prosecutors believed capers was involved in this gang-related shooting that killed robinson, even though capers insisted he was never in a gang. did you a shoot at the bus? >> not at tall. >> did you have a weapon ever that day. >> no. >> what capers was in rikers island and sing-sing, his mother was desperate. >> we had so many calls, visits. >> when they took me away from

her, it was one of the hardest things for me. i was worrying about not being there for my mom. so i feel like almost like i felt and i didn't even do anything wrong. >> deja's mom said this in court. just because you are going to jail, that's not justice for me. you still get calls, visits, but my daughter is dust right now. i have to go the cemetery. >> i totally understand her pain. i really do. i totally understand. but now i look at it. look what me going to jail caused for my family. look at the scars that my family has to face now. >> it was capers' mother's persistence that would lead prosecutors to take a second look. >> i just started reaching out to programs, different lawyers, a lot of phone calls, a lot of texts. >> attorney winston pays is a partner at the international law

firm. they took on his case pro bono. why did you say yes? >> i said yes because, one, as a former prosecutor, i can evaluate evidence. i thought the evidence which he was convicted was weak. >> the prosecution's case? >> the prosecution's case. >> he would convince a new unit within the queens district attorney's office, the conviction integrity unit, to re-examine capers' case. >> we have four attorneys in our conviction integrity unit. the sole responsibility is to reinvestigate old convictions. >> since 2007, they have been slowly emerging across the country. >> we created the queens first conviction integrity unit. >> nearly all voluntarily established by elected prosecutors. the average american doesn't know the units estee cross the country. why do they matter. >> you have to have confidence that a criminal justice system

is willing to admit when mistakes are made. >> why did you take up champaign's case? >> shamel capers's case came to us through the defense attorney who said that the eyewitness to shamel capers being involved in this shooting recanted their testimony. we don't take recantation of testimony easily. we corroborate it, investigate it. >> that eyewitness pointed to proof he lied. he told investigators about recorded phone calls he made to his own mother from jail. on these calls, the prosecution's key witness confessed that he never saw capers shoot at the bus. these phone calls, the proof, happened before capers even stood trial. capers and his attorney would not discuss the key witness and cnn could not reach that person for comment. do you believe police suppressed the evidence or phone calls, recorded phone calls, sat in an

evidence locker and no one listened or no one knew about them until your team found them? do you know? >> i don't know exactly. i know we turned over all the evidence we had at the time. >> after the discovery of that evidence, capers' conviction was vacated eight years after he was imprisoned. do you think you would still be in jail if it were not for the conviction integrity unit? >> yes. i would still be fighting. >> deja robinson's mother opposed vacating capers' conviction, calling it a travesty of justice. she still believes capers was one of the shooters that killed her daughter. she declined an on-camera interview but told cnn she felt excluded from the ciu investigation and said we are the victims here, not shamel capers. what about victims' families who say this is not justice for them? >> i can't speak for someone's suffering. it is an awful thing to lose a daughter. i believe that the person who

shot dauj a robinson is doing time for that crime now. >> let me show you something. >> november 17th, 2022, shamel capers was freed. >> daddy! >> out of prison and to his 9-year-old daughter's school to pick her up for the first time. >> i love you. i am never going to leave you again. >> she was 5 months old when her father was incarcerated. >> she was so surprised. she started crying. >> tears of relief now after so many tears of heartbreak. a mother who didn't give up and a legal system willing to take a second look. >> how you doing? >> good. >> you look very familiar. >> yes. i just recently got exonerated. this is like the start. only thing i can promise them, every day that i breathe

freedom, fresh air, i'm going to make them proud. >> an update four. shamel capers has been free now for nine months. he is writing a book with what he went through. he is taking construction classes. i want to know that same conviction integrity unit that reexamined his case worked to vacate over 100 others. the d.a. says 86 of those vacated convictions were convicted to a group of detectives later found guilty of perjury and falsification of documents. none of them directly related to capers' case and a note of deep gratitude to my colleagues matt renard and will simon for their tireless effort to bring new story. joined by mark howard, a civil rights lawyer, a professor of government and law at georgetown, the founding director of the prison and justice initiative. he is also the founder and president of the frederick douglass project for justice. mark, thank you for being here. for people watching this who think finally justice because of

these units, you say not so fast? >> it's a beautiful story. i am happy for shamel capers. i have been involved in multiple exonerations and prison releases and i am overjoyed for him and his family. the problem is we have an eps epidemic of wrongful convictions, 5% of convictions are of the wrong person with 2 million people in prison, that's 100,000 people. to have an isolated incident like that is a wonderful story but we need to look at all the people whose cases we are never hearing about. the problem with conviction integrity units is it's the same office that actually contributed to the wrongful conviction that we are asking to review itself. while i applaud the queens d.a. melinda catz, a tremendous job in this case and many others, the problem is that the cius around the country, most are doing absolutely nothing. they set up an office. there are 97 of them. 46 hasn't had a single

exoneration. her office had over 100. that's remarkable. what's trouble is they give the false pretense that there is a serio serious review taking place. for the people who are getting ignored -- i am involved in a case in pennsylvania where we have for 16 months been trying to get them to look at a case. they wouldn't acknowledge reset of the case and the evidence is sitting there ready to be tested and it's been sitting there for 24 years. it's trouble many d.a.'s offices are starting to create something giving the illusion of serious self-review, but there is no autonomy, no independence, and often little fairness. >> in some ways this is a conflict of interest. when you expose it was mishandling, you are exposing the mismanagement of the case in the office? >> exactly. the vast majority of proven exonerations have prosectorial misconduct. often the same people, might

have been their cases or colleagues. what's the incentive there? typically it's oppose evidence, release. >> this debate is a good one. i want to push back a little bit. i wanted to note in shamel's case it was a different d.a. and team of prosecutors. the new d.a. says we have to take a look. are you letting the perfect scenario where we get equal justice under law, are you letting the perfect be the enemy of the good? >> no, i want there to be more conviction integrity units but i want them to have autonomy, fair review. it could be by appointing people who are former defense attorneys, appointing people from the nicaraguans project and other organizations like mine -- >> people like you. >> exactly. i would have more faith if i knew people understand the real nature of wrongful convictions who actually had a stake in exonerations to look at the misconduct in that very office. instead, they sort of put a wall around and say, trust us. i am not going to trust the people who put countless, we are

talking now, you know, over 100,000 people in prison for crimes they didn't commit. that is deeply troubling if you care about truth and justice. >> is anybody getting it right? well, philadelphia. they have had, larry krasner's office. in queens, i applaud this work. they hired a former attorney from the innocence project who is leading up the conviction integrity unit. so in my view, it's not a coincidence that that office is having more exonerations. most is just one of their prosecutors who suddenly is in charge of actually policing essentially themselves. so in the smaller counties that we don't hear about, it's injustice being compounded with this false pretense of review and people are getting buried, ignored. my mailbox is full of letters from people in prison begging to get their cases looked at. i look at as many as i can. we find a complete picture of truth and in a few cases achieve you jupz. but working with conviction integrity units as they exist

now has been really an exercise in despair. >> it's important for people to know. thank you for that story. it was important to hear shamel's story. thank you. vladimir putin makes his first remarks since the man who led an armed rebellion against him reportedly died in a plane crash. we will take you live to russia. save 50% on the sleep number® limited edition smart bed. plus, 60-month financing on all smart beds. shop now only at sleep number®. okay everyryone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, musclebone, and heart health. yaaay! woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins a minerals and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪

students and educators are making decisions as one. damien: it's a real sense of community. leslie: we saw double-digit gains in math, in english, and reading scores. david: it's an innovation that's transforming our public schools. narrator: california's community schools: reimagining public education. ♪ russian president vladimir putin is memorializing wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin as a talented man who made serious mistakes. his first public comments come day after the mercenary chief's presumed death in fiery plane crash near moscow. >> translator: i knew prigozhin for a very long time, since the early '90s. he was a man of difficult fate. >> russia officials say flight

data shows the plane reached 28,000 feet before to stopped transmitting. prigozhin's apparent death comes exactly two months after he led that brief armed uprising against russia's military leaders. matthew chance is live in st. petersburg there near a memorial for prigozhin. matthew, putin said that prigozhin was a man of difficult fate. tell us more about these remarks. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, he said he had a difficult fate, and that's often a sort of euphemism in russia for somebody who had a hard life. he had a criminal past. of course, yevgeny prigozhin was in jail for some years during the soviet era. and so it was a reference to that. putin also said that prigozhin in his life, although he was a talented businessman, made some serious mistakes. he didn't directly reference the leading of an armed uprising against the kremlin two months ago, but clearly that was, in

retrospect, huge mistake by yevgeny prigozhin. he is very fondly remembered in st. petersburg in the sense that t there is this makeshift memorial that sprung up here in his home city right outside the wagner headquarters from where all the operations were controlled here in st. petersburg. it's not a huge thing. but there are memorials like this popping up all over the country in various cities from where wagner drew their mercenary fighters. there is a photograph here. it's yevgeny prigozhin carrying a weapon. it says, in this hell, in russian, in this hell, he was the best. so talking about him very much in the past tense, even though it's not officially confirmed that he is -- his body was actually in that wreckage. you can see the flowers here. the arm patches from the wagner group that people have put here. you are seeing all sorts of people come. we spotted a few earlier, this is a slow trickle of people, members of wagner, family

members of people who were in wagner, and just generally people who, you know, kind of agreed with some of the controversial remarks that prigozhin made about corruption in the russian armed forces. he was very critical of that. this is interesting. look. it's a hammer. very heavy, indeed. a sledgehammer. and it's exactly this kind of tool that's become the symbol of wagner, a symbol of the extreme violence the organization used. it was with a hammer like this that some may regard a traitor was executed horrifically on camera and it bolstered wagner's image as this extreme, violent, hyper patriotic group that would do anything for the motherland, as they call russia. you know, a lot of flowers as well. a lot of people around the country coming out and doing something similar. you can see this lady here is about to put some flowers down

as well. and you are seeing this all over the country. the question is, really, you know, will yevgeny prigozhin be forgotten, or he become a martyr? will it sort of fuel sort of dissent and criticism of the russian armed forces? we don't know the answer to that. >> matthew chance there in st. petersburg with the reporting. thank you so much, matthew. all right. donald trump marks his latest arrest with an x. we will he explain. harry enten here with this morning's number ahead. ♪ please don't go ♪ ♪ please don't go.. ♪ ♪ please don'n't go ♪ ♪ please don't go ♪ ♪ don't goooooo! ♪ (♪) ♪ don't go away ♪ (♪) ♪ please don't go ♪ (♪)

(wheezing) asthma isn't pretty. it's the moment when you realize that a good day... is about to become a bad one. but then, i remembered that the world is so much bigger than that, with trelegy. because one dose a day helps keep my asthma symptoms under control. and with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy helps improve lung function so i can breathe easier for a full 24 hours. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. trelegy contains a medicine that increases risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems when used alone.

when this medicine is used with an inhaled corticosteroid, like in trelegy, there is not a significant increased risk of these events. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase risk of thrush and infections. get emergency care for serious allergic reactions. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ♪ what a wonderful world. ♪ ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy for asthma - because breathing should be beautiful. ♪ with fastsigns, create striking custom visuals that inspire pride district-wide. ♪ fastsigns. make your statement. welcome back. former president trump has made a surprising return to x, the platform formerly known as twitter, posting his mugshot

after being arrested lass night at the fulton county jail. harry enten has this morning's number. what is it? >> this morning's number is 958 days, because trump uses x for the first time in 958 days. he hadn't posted on x or tweeted for those old-fashioned of us since january 8 of 2021. so why did he come back to x? why is he finally posting on the site formerly known as twitter? that is because there are a lot more people on this platform than truth social. so trump of course posted the mugshot post, this is the number of likes. look how many likes there were on truth social, just about 45,000. i just checked this no more than 30 minutes ago on x, formerly known as twitter, look how many there are, about 1 million. 1 million. that is more than 20 times as many people who are liking the post on twitter than on truth

social. so this gives you an understanding of what's going on there. but it's not just about people. we're covering this segment right now, aren't we? it is about the media. and if we look here, the social media sites journalists use the most or the second most in their job, i can't believe we actually have a poll on this but apparently we do. >> from pugh. >> from pugh a legitimate research firm, x, twitter, look at this 69%, 69% say they use it the most, the second most, that's more than facebook, that's far more than linkedin at 19%. so this isn't just about getting the attention of people in the regular world, it's about getting the attention of the media as well and as this segment demonstrates, he has very much done so. >> there's obviously a lot of interest in this. what are people most interested in? >> if we look at google searches over the last 24 hours related to donald trump, perhaps not surprising mugshot is number one. i mean, that's -- we have the photo of it right there, we will know that mugshot for a very long period of time.

arrest in prison number two, again, that makes sense. maybe a little surprising but not really the tucker interview comes in at number three and something that i will leave to other people to discuss, the height and weight of trump at number four. >> he lost 24 pounds. i'm serious, i read it. >> he lost 24 pounds. there's some issues as to whether he's 6'2" or 6'3". >> people were searching that? >> people were searching it. >> you don't believe that? >> i guess i believe it. >> i mean, people are always interested in that type of stuff. people like the tabloid stuff. the mugshot being number one is something that gives you an indication of where the interest is. there was a lot of interest and eye lot of people didn't want the mugshot to be taken. it was, it was searched number one. >> harry enten, thank you. sometime within the next three hours or so the last two of donald trump's 18 co-defendants must surrender at the fulton county jail. our crews are live at fulton county with more on what comes next. cnn's coverage of this historic
