authorities. former president donald trump is preparing to leave his mar-a-lago estate in surrender to authorities in new york. his attorney already promising a fight. >> here is does he's gearing up for a battle. we believe this is political persecution. he is a tough guy, as you know and he is someone who is going to be ready for the fight. it is the first time it president has faced charges. trump's own lawyer admits he does not even know what to expect. >> this is unprecedented. i don't know. i have done a million arraignments in that courthouse but this is a whole different thing. we have secret service involved. what i hope is that we get in and out of there as quickly as possible. the indictment remains under seal until tribe makes his first appearance in court tomorrow. sources tell abc news the former president faces about -- around two dozen counts including felonies in connection to hush money pyment made to porn

stormy daniels. putting out statements in support of the former president. >> it is ridiculous. >> this will be a shame on our criminal justice system. even trump's potential rivals rushing to his defense. they are trying to act like it is a felony in almost every other time he is trying to take the felonies and downgrade them to misdemeanors. this guy is doing politics. that is not the rule of law >> reporter: one republican, which are hesitant told jonathan karl he plans to run a and chart those shows truck. >> should he drop out? >> i do and for a couple reasons, i mean, first of all, the office is more important than any individual person. and so for the sake of the office of the presidency, i do think that's too much of a sideshow and distraction. >> reporter: as trumpeters for the court appearance tomorrow, early this abc news poll shows

that 45% of americans believe that trump should be charged with a crime. 32% including the majority of republicans say that he should not. after his arraignment, trump is expected to travel back here to florida to deliver an evening address. >> robin: thank you. and aaron katersky is live with more on what will happen. good morning, aaron. >> aaron: good morning, robin. it will be extraordinary. this is one of the country's biggest? it has never seen a defendant quite like the one that is due here tomorrow, former president trump will face around two dozen criminal counts. the indictment is sealed until then. so we don't know the actual charges. but the grand jury was asked to consider whether trump may have disguised the 2016 hush payment to stormy daniels on his company's books. once he arrives here in court, trump is going to be placed under arrest. but unlike most other criminal defendants, he will not be in handcuffs when he is brought before a judge to enter a plea

of not guilty. there will be no court proceedings other than trump's of the 15th floor and many other cases in the building have been adjourned. trump has lashed out at the judge hearing the case. state supreme court justice who also oversaw the tax fraud trial of the trump organization that ended in a conviction and that rhetoric, trump's rhetoric about the judge, about the prosecutor, the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg and about it neared the shreds of the case have police on the -- alert and this entire area is going to be sealed off. george? >> george: thanks. let's get more from jon karl, dan abrams. we have not seen all the charges yet. but you have said you think this could be a weak case. >> i think this is an old souped up misdemeanor. does that mean that donald trump did nothing wrong. the question is, does it mean they should bring this case with

the previous the a pass on it? the feds has to bring this case and now seven years later, this district attorney is bringing a case which is really a misdemeanor. they're going to make an argument potentially that rises to the level of felony that was committed in an effort to conceal a second crime. now, there are still things we don't know, though. >> george: the charges, change. >> that is trey burke in connection with the case that aaron was just mentioning, if they learn something new in connection with that case? if there's been a new information that has come up in the last few months and that is going to become the reason for a felony, that is a different game. remember, they decided not to this office, this d.a. decided not to prosecute donald trump on the big tax fraud cases and bank fraud cases that his deputies fought off to have been properly filed a civil action not criminal. several in connection with that, laying out the entire case. you can't file a suit and turtles go civil case and say, on second thought on this, we're

going to actually make a lot of this criminal. that is why it has to be something new. >> george: a lot of public bravado from the trunk camp. >> it is guaranteed that he is going to get the nomination republicans are rallying around the person is actively shaming fellow republicans to get out there and do a -- and defend him on this. they say they are raising a lot of money. that is probably true. but look, let's remember this is the first of several criminal investigations that donald trump faces. it is not inconceivable. there it could be multiple morgan saxton's. >> george: we got the special county prosecutor in washington looking at both classified documents. >> those are more serious cases based on what we know today. you are talking about wibbly trying to overturn the election in atlanta. and in the federal case, at the very least obstructing justice in connection with the handling of the documents. forget about whether he was

handling of classified documents and should have turned them over. the big case is the specific intent and desire to not give the back and that is obstruction to justice. >> george: i wonder if some of the republicans are laying a trap for themselves before the other two cases are brought to fruition. >> i really think we know how how republicans will react. they will do just what they have done here, georgia. they will attack the prosecutors as democrats, democrat, prosecutor in georgia. joe biden's justice department turns to federal cases. they are locked in on this. but ultimately, you know, there's going to be a question. there's going to be a rallying around him, rallying around trip in terms of these prosecutions, attacking these prosecutors is one thing. saying he should be the republican nominee again is another one. >> george: and courtrooms are different. >> and you lose control once you are in a criminal prosecution. >> deborah: thank you.

in russia for nearly 10 months also urging the biden administration to continue to use every tool possible to bring evan and all wrongfully detained americans home. again, griner was in prison for nearly 10 months before she was released in a prisoner swap and her charges were minor compared with those that journalist is facing. he could be sentenced to 20 years in prison. that is if it more than paul winland who was also charged with spying and is now in his fifth year of detention. george? >> george: thanks very much. that? >> deborah: now to millions of americans at risk of losing their medicaid health coverage after pandemic rules protecting them expire over the weekend. janai norman is here now with more including what you should do if you are concerned about losing your benefits. good morning, janai. >> janai: so the big concern is the big number, 50 million americans who could lose medicaid coverage. so every year you have to reapply for the benefits.

drink can actually be good for you, our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is here. it is kind of upsetting to people because without moderation was key. >> jennifer: listen, part of that was because maybe that is what we wanted to hear. let me tell you about this new research because it is what we called a meta-analysis. it looked at a lot of other studies done over the years, drinking alcohol, 107 studies were evaluated. that totaled up to 4.8 million participants. so this was very powerful in terms of its methodology. and what these studies found was no significant benefit to moderate alcohol consumption. so that is important. and it found that in women and men who drank more than what was considered to be moderate, there was a significant downside. so again, when you talk about risk versus benefit, it is wanting to say, there's no

benefit. it is another thing at certain levels to find a risk and that is what these -- this new research found. >> deborah: and we know that at our core that alcohol is not good for you but we heard over the years a little red wine was supposed to be healthy for you. >> jennifer: and you have heard me say this for over 10 years, there's a big difference in science public health and studies. medicine when you talk about association versus causation and a lot of the studies were based on observation. and they found that people who drank very little, people who drank a lot, it did not do so well. but that moderate amount seem to have, you know, no increased risk in some cases some benef benefits. >> deborah: so we just give it all up? >> jennifer: if you look at the recommendations, for women, it is one serving of alcohol a day. for men, it is two. but let's be crystal clear. abstaining completely may /probably is best for our house and you want to speak to your healthcare provider about this. alcohol is a known carcinogen, deb. we know that it is associated with an increased risk ofrndur.

deadly. with a tornado there. but watching that next system erupt, it is going to come through tomorrow afternoon and evening. the areas that you see highlighted from eastern iowa that includes cedar rapids and devonport to meet peoria. springfield down to texarkana, that is little rock again. damaging winds, too and then this moves to the northeast. eastern michigan detroit, you are in looking at 30 minutes. drew: your accuweather a wind advisory is effect along the coastline until 11 p.m. with wind gusting over 45 miles per hour at times. temperatures are limited to the mid and upper 50's. tonight, the wind will begin the, clear skies and temperatures in the 30's. our next best chance for showers will come on friday. >> george: it is launch day on

hulu for "pretty baby: brooke shields." ali wentworth is here. the director, lana wilson here. thank you. you had a baby while you were making this film. what made you more nervous? >> equally -- no, the baby was a little more nerve-racking >> george: how does it feel to have it out in the world? >> incredible. are excited to see where the conversations go now that it is out there it is a thrilling day. >> robin: i love how you talked about how you had the baby and everyone stepped up. >> i was having a baby and there was no concern about that. they gave me cupcakes. you basically threw a surprise baby shower for me. and a lot of people don't get that. >> deborah: and now we will get the baby. >> robin: your production company and this is the debut.

why did you want. story to be your first project? >> brooke is one of my best friends. i said to her, you got to tell the story of your life. it is so complicated. and she was like, yeah, i don't know. you know, i can't really find the right person. so when we started our company, that was the first thing. i said, we have got to do this brooke story because it is so multilayered and it was no question we wanted lana wilson. we did not even meet anybody else because she is, you know, an incredible filmmaker. but a woman that understands all the nuances of this film and understands how to tell a story in this way. and hit all the important cultural points of what we are trying to say. and i said to george this morning, like, right out of the gate, this is our first projecti good again. ready flus w.

aughter] >> george: you were not necessarily looking to do another celebrity documentary. >> yeah. i'm not interested in a famous person problems and i'm not interested in, like, you know, it is hard it is hard to do photo shoots all day or is it hard to be -- >> but it is. it is hard. what i'm interested in is how being famous amplifies and supercharges these really relatable human problems. i'm always looking for what is the human story underneath everything and what is the transformation. >> robin: and it is amazing how relatable. and then when you are watching the film, it comes through. >> yeah, that is great. when i first saw footage of brooke at age 12, on the press to rxr for her controversial debut, the original "pretty baby," i remember being struck by the talk show host who were praising her beauty and her sensuality and looking so lovely but on the other hand,

criticizing her for being too >> eva: and going too far. i thought that was a very contemporary dynamic of if you grew up as a growth that the way you look is very important and that being desirable and hot is where your value comes from. if you go too far and crossed the invisible line, you are punished and criticized. >> george: that archival footage is something. you talked about when you first saw the hard drive. >> in a first meeting, i met brooke for the first time. she had to be this hard drive that her mother terry had made where she, you know, terry collected over 50 years of footage including outtakes from a never before seen those never finished documentary called look at brooke and so i took this hard drive home, thousands of video? , hundreds and hundreds of photos and i just started opening random files and seeing this crazy range of material but also seeing what you mentioned earlier, just this deeply relatable stuff because i don't think a lot has changed. and -- in the last 40 years.

some things have changed a little bit but in a lot of ways, it is still the same. >> we have talk about how with social media now, which did not exist when brooke was a baby but with social media now, you know, a lot of talk in the film about how young girls were objectified. but now, with the tool of the phone and social media, young girls can objectify themselves and there's a lesson in, you know, you don't have to do that. you don't have to be a product. you don't need to sell yourself that way. and i think this is going to resonate for a lot of younger generations as well. >> and i think that a lot of girls and especially teenagers posting on social media are largely imitating what they see around them. we are all imitating what we see around us and i think there's a real responsibility for the adults who are making the dominant visual culture to think about what different types of femininity and sexuality, how much of a rage are they showing and what impact does that have?

>> george: let's take a look at the clip. backover son you were just everywhere and everybody has something to say. it is not all positive. from the moment on, i was no longer just a model who was an actress. i became a focal points for so many things. good and bad. >> robin: always tell you at the premiere, brooke was sitting behind me. it was so gauche to hear her reaction to certain things that were happening on screen like that, you have known her for so long. has the transformation been like for her from the start of the documentary to where she is now? >> i'm telling you, before we get to documentary, brooke was anxious, nervous sort of looking at, you know, different career opportunities. she went through this journey with lana and the other day, she

had done a whole day of press and she came over to our apartment and she was lying on the couch, you know, my dog on her chest. and she said, i for the first time in my life, i actually feel like i have agency on my life. i feel like i told my story with one of the way i wanted to tell it and she said, i feel so empowered. and i was like -- >> george: can't do better than that. >> cannot do better than that. you see it at the end of the movie and you will see when you run into her on the street. >> george: ali, thank you very much. >> congratulations, george. >> robin: and i'm sure you were equally excited. >> as for us. >> george: "pretty baby: brooke shields" is and streaming on hulu. rob lowe is coming up next. we i.
