plus, a federal hate crime investigation just opened into the white gunman who killed three black people at a dollar general in jacksonville. and florida braces for tropical storm idalia predicted to be a dangerous hurricane by the time it hits the coast. ♪ what's going on, everyone, welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world, i'm omar jimenez, a lot to get to. today, donald trump's legal case is entering a new phase with two major court hearings. in washington judge will consider dueling arguments between special counsel jack smith and in atlanta, a hearing on ex-white house chief of staff and codefendant mark meadows' bid to his case moved to federal
2:02 am
court. cnn explains. >> two court hearings happening simultaneously monday morning and each could have significant implications for former president trump's legal strategy next year. first in washington, d.c., a federal judge is holding a hearing on when former president trump's trial will take place on special counsel jack smith's subversion charges. the special counsel, he wants to hold a hearing in january of next year, about four months from now. but the former president's lawyers they proposed a trial date of april 2026, not for another two years. they argue that four months is not enough time. and that a january trial will interfere with the former president's other criminal cases. now, of course, this all will be playing out with the political calendar looming, as a january trial date will be happening at the same time as the republican presidential primaries. in georgia a federal judge is holding a hearing on former chief of staff mark meadows' request to move his case into federal court.
2:03 am
meadows is one of 19 defendants in georgia trying to move their case, and the former president is expected to potentially file a similar motion. this is significant because it could affect the jury pool. and a federal trial could include a broader spectrum of georgia residents that could lead to a more pro-trump jury. so the former president's lawyers are likely to be watching what transpires closely in georgia. jeremy herb, cnn, washington. from a legal storm to a tropical storm, tropical storm idalia is picking up steam quickly as it moves towards florida. and it's in effect on the west coast including tampa bay. the state is getting hit likely on wednesday morning. let's talk about it with cnn meteorologist karen maginnis is tracking the storm for us. starting with this, what people want to know is, how destructive could this storm be? >> well, that san interesting question, especially since we
2:04 am
just received an update from the national hurricane center in which we're looking at a stronger system. now, 65 miles per hour for idalia. and as it begins to track towards the north, it now is moving. and what i'm seeing now is deeper convection right around this eastern edge of circulation. so, it's going to move into the very warm walters of the gulf of mexico. and as it does, it's going to intensify, because the water temperatures here are at record-setting level, they're in the 90s, or low 90s, anyway. and temperatures that warm lend themselves to increasing the strength of these hurricanes. what really grabbed my attention with the latest update is what was happening as far as the traveling, or the path, of the system. and that is, it's moving towards the north. but look at this. it's just off the coast of tampa. by wednesday morning, as a
2:05 am
category 3 hurricane. we haven't seen that in now. we see it increase to a category 1, then a category 2. its impacts are going to be felt. there's going to be extreme storm surge. some of these areas around the tampa bay area, 4 to 7 feet. the rainfall is going to be staggering. you'll see downed trees, downed power lines, but category 3. and then the track is sort of taking it right up through this big bend area of florida. but any deviation from that, and we could see a completely different scenario. how tampa has not been impacted by a hurricane. in more than 100 years. but being that close offshore really signals that we really need to watch this. because there are these portabations, meaning paths that shift.
2:06 am
potentially to the east and we could see dangers for the highly populated areas. the computer models are in failure good agreement but we'll be right here in the cnn weather center to completely give you the updates on what's happening. federal courts have opened a civil rights investigation into the shooting of three black people at a store in jacque, florida. harris has added it's being treated as a possible hate crime and act of extremism. her statement came after a vigil of song and prayer to honor the victims killed by a white gunman who targeted them because they were black. ♪ >> the sheriff says he's committed to making sure every the of jacksonville feels safe, underscoring his belief the city will not be defined by this crime. >> jacque, ksonville, florida,
2:07 am
wonderful place full of wonderful people, one evil man who decided to take his rhetoric and hateful thoughts and put that into action will not shake us. and we will not allow that to do so. >> and governor ron desantis will be helping the victims here. and they say he also left behind racist writings and used racial slurs. president biden is also mourning the lives lost in jacksonville saying hate must have no safe harbor. cnn's priscilla alvarez has more. pros >> reporter: president biden mourned the life of those lost in jacksonville, florida, also noted the symbolism of when it happens noted it was a day of commemoration of the 60th anniversary on the march on washington, a watershed moment of movement. and those injured by gun
2:08 am
violence. in the statement, he went on to say, quote, even as we continue to search for answers we must say clearly and forcefully that white supremacy has no place in america. the statement went on to say we refuse to live in a country where black students are in fear of being gunned down because of color of skin. hate must have no safe harbor, silence is not complicity and we must remain safe. the president signed legislation, as well as signed executive actions, in attempt to curb gun violence but he's also acknowledged there are limits to executive power. when i spoke to white house officials they said part of the focus is how they respond to communities in the short term and long term. and these shootings have become so commonplace they also have to determine what factors the community may require in the aftermath of gun violence. so all of this, just one part of
2:09 am
the administration's agenda going into the next few days. priscilla alvarez, cnn, the white house. >> the president also offering condolences to the families of three marines killed in an air crash during military exercises in australia. 20 marines were injured. five were sent to the hospital. the cause of the mission is under investigation. cnn's angus wilson is live in sydney. angus, for starters, what are officials saying about the investigation? >> reporter: omar, right now, the u.s. marine corps is leading efforts to recover the remains of the three u.s. marine corps members service personnel who lost their lives sunday morning in this tragic crash when their osprey aircraft plummeted into a hillside on this remote island off the north coast of australia. it's such a remote place that it's taking perhaps in tuesday to complete that recovery
2:10 am
mission. and only then will australian and u.s. authorities begin investigating what could have cost this crash. right now, we just don't know. what we do know is that the osprey's have a track record for these deadly incidents. just last year, nine u.s. service personnel were killed in actions related to the osprey. so despite the remote location, u.s. marine corps and australian first responders were able to bring the 20 survivors of the crash back to the australian mainland for treatment, at least five of those people are in a serious condition, omar. >> angus watson, thank you so much. now, to russia where officials say wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin was indeed one of the ten people killed in last week's plane crash. russian investigators a dna tests confirm the identity of prigozhin and the other victims. the head of the mercenary group led a brief uprising against the kremlin exactly two months
2:11 am
before the crash. cnn's salma abdelaziz joins us live from london. so, salma, i mean, look, the timing of the crash has raised speculation about potential kremlin involvement. we haven't heard that officially from them, of course. at the very least, there's suspicion. what do we know about of the exact circumstances behind the death of prigozhin? and is there a confidence in what russia has said about this crash so far? >> let me start with your first question, omar, the confidence with what russia has said so far. while everyone seems to agree to one thing now that the genetic testing is complete, according to russian reporting indeed yevgeny prigozhin and his men were on that plane and killed in that crash. from there, all of the questions really begin. of course, the kremlin has denied, denied any accusations of its involvement in the plane crash calling them absolute lies. but if you ask supporters of prigozhin, if you ask western intelligence officials perhaps, if you ask president biden
2:12 am
himself, he'll ask some serious questions about that. for many, yevgeny prigozhin has met the fate that we've seen other kremlin critics face which is death under shadowy circumstances. and this is what you have to remember. this is a plane crash that happened on russian soil. all of the evidence, all of the bits and pieces there are being held by russian investigators. and it is a government-backed body that is looking into the crash. the question is can they really carry out their work without interference and without meddling. for many people, the answer to that question absolutely not. and beyond the crash, omar, you have to ask the question what happens to the wagner mercenary group. a group very much centered around the personhood, the character, of yevgeny prigozhin. it's hard to imagine it surviving without him. and already russia, before his death, had been taking steps to absorb the members of that group. absorb those military forces into the regular russian military. and that seems to be continuing
2:13 am
with president putin just a couple days s ago signing a dece requiring all to pledge allegiance to the russian federation, essentially cen centralize them under russian command. many believing it is intentional. and question is what happens to the group he left behind, omar. >> we'll have to keep an eye on that, salma abdelaziz, thank you so much. coming up for us, a university of south carolina student shot and killed. we'll tell you what police are saying. plus, the latest fallout from an unwanted kiss on the world cup stage. and which candidates are enjoying a fundraising surge after the primary debate? that and more, next. boost® hir . now w available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor.. learn more at boost.com/tv

2:18 am
these hearings are going to reveal significant details against the former president, possibly clarify the time line for the dueling trials. let's bring in cnn legal analyst and jim defense attorney joey jackson. there's a lot to keep up with. like to have joey here, he lays it out the right way. good to see you. let's start in fulton county, georgia. this motion was brought by former chief of staff mark meadows, his bid to get his case moved from state to federal court. lay out the case. what is mark meadows arguing and will it work? >> yeah, good morning, omar. those are the central questions. we know mark meadows was the chief of staff to donald trump, the argument is he was acting in his official capacity, right? so what the argument is to the extent he was a former official acting under authority of federal law, acting on behalf of his boss president trump that he was simply having a food gath
2:19 am
interest in the extent to which the outcome of the election could be changed. was there significant fraud. and based upon that interest, he was acting in his official capacity, right? as we look at the one count racketeering, the one count of solicitation, a violation by a public officer. on the other hand, you have the georgia officials who are arguing nonsense. first of all, this is something that is a violation of the hatch act. an eight-year-old law that says that federal officials should not be engaged in election. you're precluded from doing that. unless, not only are you precluded from acting in that way, but acting in a campaign, not an official act of the president. to that extent, it was a private action, not an action that is under the scope of the u.s. government. and so the case should not be in federal court, it should stay in georgia where it is now. so those are the essence of the arguments that we're going to hear at 10:00 a.m. this morning, based upon his act to move, that is mark meadows' act and really,
2:20 am
you know, effort to move his case from the state of georgia to federal court. >> and in georgia, fulton county d.a. fani willis summed former secretary of state brad raffensperger and two other members now on that infamous 2021 call with trump. and here's the key aspect of all of these cases, this could reveal key evidence not only against meadows, but trump as well, right? >> so, i think it could. but i think it's important to note, omar, this proceeding although narrative and matter will come out as a result of witnesses testifying, it's not so much having to do with the merits or guilt or innocence of mark meadows. it has to do with whether or not his official activity, should as a result of him acting on behalf of the president, on behalf of the u.s. government, will move to georgia. having said that, certainly evidence and information will come out with respect to what commands if any were given to him, what specific actions he took in contacting georgia
2:21 am
officials. him showing up to the audit when he were looking at as georgia officials, the counting that was not open to the public, what are you doing, mr. meadows, his texting and interacting with georgia officials. those issues will certainly be brought to the fore. the issue is not whether or not he's guilty. the issue will be what capacity was he acting in, in a private capacity to stay in georgia, was he acting in a state capacity, it stays in georgia but then goes to federal court. >> in context. and over in washington, jack smith wants to, and trump's lawyers asking for a date in 2026, how do you think the judge will rule here, and obviously, how do the pretrial motions and timing of other cases affect schedules here? because i feel we'll have overlap over the next year and a half. >> yeah, we really are.
2:22 am
i feel this is unique. i know everyone speaks of it, and it's true, the president is not above the law, the former president, that is. and no one should be. the reality is everyone should be consistent and everyone should be the same. as we look at the trial calendar there. with the ag civil trial, you've got the federal election january 2nd. the election subversion trial, all of those thing laid out there. so what does that mean in terms of context? it means that has to be balanced, right? because you have a president that has hour indictments, one in manhattan relating to the hush money payments. you have the two federal cases, the florida classified documents, you have the jack smith case from washington, d.c., january 6. and you have the matter we just talked about, the georgia matter, i think the judge has to balance those factors, which case should take priority. when can they begin? what should be the actual trial schedule predicated upon all of these other matters.
2:23 am
so that's something that the judge has to consider. and every prosecutor is about their case right now and how it should be hurt, irrespective of the others. and of course, omar, i didn't mention, is an election coming up and, so, that, of course, is important, too. >> between the elections, all of these cases, maybe i should get in my vacation time now. next year, i don't know how optimistic i am. joey jackson, thank you, good to see you. >> always. quick hits across america now. a shooting outside a lounge in downtown louisville has left two people dead and five injured. no suspects have been arrested. police say the business has been the subject of complaints in the past. a university of south carolina sophomore was shot and killed after he apparently tried to enter the wrong home on the street where he lived. columbia police say they responded to a burglary call and found the student's body on the front porch. it's unclear if any charges have been filed. and mandatory evacuations are in place for several towns

2:40 am
the first presidential primary debate. and just about 24 hours later, the front-runner surrender in fulton county, georgia. donald trump maybe unsurprisingly fundraising with his own mug shot. and his campaign says it's brought in more than $7 million in just a few days. so how is the rest of the field competing with that. let's bring in white house reporter for "the wall street journal" kathryn lucie. that's an evergreen question for the primary. how does the rest compete with former president trump. after what we saw from georgia last week, what does the rest of the field do from here politically? >> hey there, it's absolutely right. this whole race has been dominated by how do they compete with trump. thousand do they counter trump. and we saw that in the debate last week. the question comes up, how do they deal with him. certainly, post debate, haley in particular, mike pence said they've seen fundraising improvements. they both had really strong
2:41 am
performances. a lot of people looking at what they said, you know, vivek ramaswamy got a lot of attention. a lot of google searches, i believe, of his name after the debate. and as he's been even out campaigning. but to your point, the central question remains, even those who had a good night, had some strong line, you know, got another look. the polling still makes it abundantly clear that former president trump is the dominant candidate in the race. he continues to clearly be in all the fold. and it's not clear that one debate really changed any of that. to be candid, some of that is staying alive, right. fundraising, and they're looking for additional opportunities as we saw trumble really quickly grab attention again and raise a ton of money himself. his campaign said he raised millions off of that mug shot. so, he continues to, you know,
2:42 am
be the leader in the race. >> based on the poll, marginal isn't going to close the gap on that, i want to turn to vivek ramaswamy because he's in the spotlight after that debate performance. but also in iowa over the weekend. he responded to a 2019 comment made by congresswoman ayanna pressley where she said we don't need any more brown voices, don't want to be a brown voice. he compared ayanna pressley to it the kkk and what do you make of that and the campaign arc, especially from the debate? >> well, certainly, he's defending those comments. he's drawn criticism for that. and i think part of what's happening is that he is now getting -- as he gets more attention and this happens in races, you get more attention past statements, past comments
2:43 am
as we said before, draw more scrutiny, he's certainly getting more attention, interviews. people asking more questions about past comments in his books, or past comments on the campaign trail. that is likely to continue. and certainly didn't shy away from trying to be provocative. and statements to continue. and but maybe faces the same problem i think, that we are talking about which is he's really tried to present himself as a trump-like candidate, while still praising former president trump and like many of the candidates in the race saying he would support him if he were the nominee, even if he were convicted of a crime. so it's not really clear how much you can grow your support if you're not going to criticize or take on the former president in any way. >> yeah. and i mean, like we've talked about over the course of this, as marginal improvements or
2:44 am
little headlines are made here and there, there's still the trump shadow over all of this, catherine lucey, white house reporter for "the wall street journal," thank you so much. zimbabwe's incumbent president hangs on to power with intense elections with many questions the results. the electoral commission says he won with 53% of the vote, but accusations of fraud, intimidation and suspicious arrests are keeping the country on edge. cnn's david mckenzie joins from us johannesburg. david, zimbabwe has a history of disputed elections. but as mnangagwa has said, he wants peace here. where will things go from here. >> reporter: well, the next thing that happens in this critically important election, omar, is that the opposition is, they say, reveal data, they say, that shows where there's a disconnect between how people voted and how the electoral commission said the election
2:45 am
went. emmerson mnangagwa as you mentioned said this was a peaceful election, transparent and happened in broad daylight. election observers from the southern african community and european union and also the u.s. government have posed questions about the leadup to this election, in terms of intimidation. there's also huge technical issues with the voting that was much delayed. the opposition said they didn't even get an up-to-date voters roll which is critical to understanding the efficacy of i election in that country. here's the leader of the opposition. >> and i think it is clear that we are rejecting the election as a sham, the result. the process itself was disregarded. and is in line with what the observers say. we reject this result and flawed process then on the disputed figures. >> reporter: multiple individuals in zimbabwe are
2:46 am
still under u.s. sanctions. the president coming in said he will reach out to the opposition to work with them. but at this stage, it's very much open to question where they're willing to do that. omar. >> david mckenzie, thank you so much. quick hits around the globe right now, at least seven people are dead in haiti after being shot during a church-led protest. human rights groups say hundreds were rallying around gang violence when hit by machine gun prior. >> peruvian officials say at least five people are dead after wildfires in peru. fires are contained in peru, and 95% in bolivia where they spread. and france is said to ban the abaya in state schools. that's a loose-fitting robe worn by muslims and women. the new rule goes into effect september 5th after months of debate. the spain soccer federation is having an extraordinary and
2:47 am
urgent meeting it comes after the federation suspended luis rubiales for 90 days for kissing jenni hermoso. atika shubert is there. what might the federation say about all of this, and what do we know about the scope of what they're considering there? >> reporter: well, what we know is that for now, rubiales has been suspended by fifa. and he has, at the beginning of being suspended by the high commission for sport here in spain. it's quite an involved process, but what that means it's really thrown all of spanish football into turmoil. we've seen resignations en masse. the spanish women's soccer team is refusing to play in rubiales is either removed or resigns. so, it's really having repercussions not just on
2:48 am
national level but an international level, too. this is probably why they're having the emergency meeting. i have to say, up to now, the royal football federation here in spain has been aggressively defending rubiales. they put out a statement, for example, after his adamant refusal to resign saying that her hermoso had lied. they quickly took that down from social media ythat he has done nothing wrong. hermoso said the aggression, this macho aggression that she feels is part of spain. and this has become for spain and spanish football, so we'll have to see what happens at this meeting today. >> akeektika shubert, thank you. coming up, former white house chief of staff mark
