rockefeller plaza. >> and thanks so much for joining us today savannah and hoda are off. let us start with that historic image that you are already seeing everywhere. donald trump becoming the first u.s. president to have his mug shot taken and like so many other things former president the i concerning the former president, that image, just the image is dividing americans. >> posting it overnight along with the phrase never surrender. his opponents using it to go attack the former president. >> trump surrendered to authorities last night in atlanta after being indicted on 13 counts in the georgia elections case it marks the fourth time this year he's been arrested and booked on criminal charges so what does it all mean politically and legally as the 2024 election starts to heat up. we got it all covered this morning. we'll start with blayne alexander in atlanta for us. good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning

to you mr. trump's motorcade came righd he was on the complex, the down the street and entered this street behind me on the property for just 21 minutes. inside the building for less time deputies tell me that is the fastest booking they have ever seen, by far all of it giving way to the stunning image of the former commander in chief posing for a mug shot it's an image never before seen in american history, a mug shot of former president donald trump, released overnight by the sheriff's office in fulton county, georgia. it comes after mr. trump surrendered to authorities at the county jail where he was officially charged with over turning his election loss in georgia. he remained defiant as he left the state. >> i did nothing wrong. >> reporter: and overnight, describing the surrender to newsmax. >> it is what it is. i took a mug shot, which i never heard the word mug shots they didn't teach me that at the

wharton school of financing. >> reporter: now the former president is trying to turn the unprecedented photo into a political asset. his campaign is selling mug shot t-shirts with the caption, never surrender. his first post on the platform in more than two years since his suspension after january 6th with the area around the fulton county jail on lockdown, mr. trump was inside for less than 20 minutes, entering booking information, hair color, blond or strawberry. eyes blue. height 6'3" and weight 215 pounds he was then released on a $200,000 bond. charles shaw, the bail bondsman who facilitated trump's release spoke with nbc's gabe gutierrez. >> it was a loud moment, and i just wanted to make sure we did it right. >> reporter: outside the jail, a parade of supporters will you vote for him? >> absolutely. 100%. >> even with the indictments

>> yes, absolutely because they're phony.e deadline >> reporter: 17 co-defendants have turned themselves in ahead of today's deadline. including former white house chief of staff mark meadows seen here in a mug shot of his own. this morning the gop front runner's surrender is making waves on the campaign trail. florida governor ron desantis in iowa asked if trump's legal troubles will overshadow the primary race. >> if republicans let it overwhelm, then it will. but we don't have to let it overwhelm. >> and we are closing in on that noon deadline for the remaining co-defendants to turn themselves in the sheriff says he does believe that everyone will surrender by that deadline. now, about that mug shot, craig. i understand the decision to take such a picture was not made lightly. in fact, i'm told the discussions as to whether or not the mug shot would be taken were happening as late as yesterday. >> all right blayne alexander starting us off in atlanta there

thank you. let's get some perspective on the overnight developments from laura jarrett and kristin welker ladies, good morning to both of you. let's start with the legal side, laura. so the president had been booked he's posted bond we've seen the mug shot. what does this mean for the case moving forward now where does it go >> the most important aspect of this entire process for the former president is that he abides by those conditions for his release. remember, we have seen the paper that sets out the fact that he can't intimidate witnesses he can't even talk to his co-defendants about the facts of the case we know mayor giuliani said, i talked to him earlier this week. it shows you the delicate dance prosecutors will have to decide when to bring things to the o i >> judge's attention. how much does he want to enforce this, and how do they want to go about it >> how do they go about

enforcing the conditions of the bail >> the prosecutors, if they hil immediately, but admonish him, thought there was a violation, they would bring it to the judge's attention. of course, the judge wouldn't necessarily throw him in jail right away he could issue a contempt order, a fine, any number of things short of jail. >> the former president changed attorneys in georgia days before he was booked yesterday. what, if anything, can we gleam from that? and do we know if the attorneys quit or if the former president fired them >> we've seen it before. he has a pattern of switching lawyers late in the game the person he has hired is someone experienced in criminal defense in atlanta, someone well-known in those circles. so you can understand why you want someone on your side like that. >> let's turn to the political ramifications. take us inside trump world what are you hearing from people who are in that inner circle about what transpired last night? that's a real moment. >> it was a surreal moment i spoke with folks traveling with the former president, and

they said he remains defiant and i think that was highlighted by that decision to post his mug shot on x, formerly known as twitter, the first tweet we have seen since january of 2021 and he's using this as a rallying cry, taking a step back this fits into a strategy we have seen from the former president since 2016 he is making the case. it is him and his supporters against the establishment, that he is taking on the machine for them so politically speaking, this is compelling but if you talk to some of those in his inner circle, they say, look, there is political concern as well. georgia is a key state that he would all but certainly need if he wants to win re-election in a general election campaign. while his core supporters love these images, and they're going to rally around these images, it could be counter and it could have the opposite effect for independents, for example. >> i think some folks probably thought that the first impeachment or the second impeachment might dent hisnd ime

popularity among primary voters. that might have the effect folks thought after the first, second, third arrest, now there is a fourth arrest now there is a mug shot. is there any reason this this will be the thing that finally sways some of the former president's most die hard supporters. >> there is no indication that former president trump's die hard supporters would waiver at all for any reason look at what we saw this week. the first gop primary debate his republican challengers were asked would they still support him if he was convicted of a crime, this extraordinary moment with 6 out of 8 of his challengers on the stage raised their hands. his allies in congress are vowing to investigate connie willis, the d.a. so it is very hard to see this would have an impact in the primary. but, again, in the general

election it is potentially a different story. >> last question, of the former cases the former president now faces, the cases in mar-a-lago, the special counsel's case in d.c., of the four, from a legal standpoint, where is he most vulnerable >> the mishandling of classified documents is what you have to watch. >> ladies, thank you both. have a great weekend. >> you too now to new developments in that plane crash in russia months after leading an uprising against vladimir putin, for the first time this morning the kremlin is responding to the revolution that russia is behind the crash. richard engel is following the story for us closely richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. not surprisingly, the kremlin spokesman, the spokesman for vladimir putin denied that the

kremlin or putin was involved i leader. they called it western speculation and a lie, but western intelligence is drawing its own conclusions. >> reporter: the u.s. believes that any way in the killing of the wednesday and that he is dead. officials are calling it very likely but what exactly brought down the plane is still a mystery two u.s. officials say intelligence gathered so far points to sabotage, which one official saying a leading theory is that an explosive was placed on board although, they can't say with certainly. >> u.s. so officials are convinced this was no accident

but payback for his mutiny when he dared lead mercenaries toward moscow and challenge russian president putin's power. while many suspect he ordered the hit, putin said russian investigators still need time to learn all the facts. he offered his sincere condolences and described prigozhin as a serious businessman but who also made serious mistakes in his life there is no indication the jet was hit by a surface-to-air missile, that the heat signature of a launch wasn't detected. russian aviation officials say they recovered the remains of the 10 people on board some so disfigured identification is difficult. >> whatever happened at 28,000 feet was catastrophic in nature and it basically knocked the airplane out of the sky. >> reporter: this morning, new images were posted on russian social media, showing the wing that was ripped from the plane in light reportedly found two miles from the crash sight the message seems clear without it

if you challenge putin, this is the price. >> so, richard, what does this mean for the wagner group and the war in ukraine going forward? >> reporter: so the wagner group had already stopped fighting in ukraine after the mutiny, so it hasn't really been a factor on the battlefield in ukraine for but people in ukraine see this as a positive development because there was always this concern that wagner under prigozhin could be used to launch a new offensive but the group seems to be somewhat in disarray as the russian military and intelligence are trying to absorb former assets and fold them into the russian military. >> richard engel, thank you. there is new fall-out this morning from those devastating and deadly fires in hawaii overnight, the county of maui releasing the names of nearly 400 people still unaccounted for.

this as the county is now suing the hawaiian electric company alleging negligence. sam brock is in maui for us once again with the latest. sam, let's start with that lawsuit. what is at the heart of the lawsuit? >> reporter: sure. greg, this is the 13th lawsuit filed against hawaiian electric. what makes this so significant is this is the first time the county is blaming the utility for what happened. they are saying this is a systemic failure of the power grid system wide now, there are three different components of that lawsuit let's talk about them. one of them is not de-energizing the lines. craig, they say the high wind warnings, it should have been a common sense action. they didn't maintain equipment and clear out dry vegetation that could be ripe for blazes and they failed to turn off electricity once the lines were down, potentially further fanning the flames the county of maui is looking to recover hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild

the county attorney told me it is not clear what that is ns of dollars to rebuild, and it is not clear what the figure is expected to be expected to be, but it is expected to be fairly significant. we know the investigation is not over yet as it concerns hawaiian electric, so they're supporting the people of maui and the county they issued this statement that says, we are very disappointed with that decision, but they are disappointed they chose this path while this investigation is still unfolding. it is important to know the county said they couldn't e this de-energize the lines. it wouldn't be smart because it would present the water system from being functional should they have to fight fires. >> that's the latest on the 13th lawsuit in the investigation let's talk about the search going on here. j overnight, officials release the names of hundreds that are still unaccounted for.

what more do we know about the latest on the search >> reporter: look, that list of unaccounted for as fluctuated a lot. here's the latest. the county of maui released 188 names. the qualifier is there was a first name, a last name and a point of contact there is good news here. 1,732 people have now been ruled accounted for, which is to say they have been taken off the list the police chief says he knows this is heart-breaking and so difficult for people to absorb, but it will help their investigation. the youngest victim, it appears, at this point was a 7-year-old boy just trying to escape the flames with his family members in their car craig? >> and there is a picture of that boy right there sam brock for us on maui sam, thank you. all right. turning to the weather now 83 million people under heat alerts this morning from the south to parts of the northwest. cities in those regions could see record highs

for the first time and help them make a living playing the sport they loved were you worried there was a chance this could fail >> yes i was very worried. >> reporter: how would you describe the energy in the room? there is so much at stake there. >> they were very quiet. but they were listening and i gave them the old pep talk think about 50 years ago and how big that would be. anyway, they voted yes. >> reporter: the u.s. open also made history later that year, becoming the first grand slam to offer equal prize money to male and female champions, all thanks to king's determination and her threat of a potential boycott. what were you being told at the time as to why women were being paid less? >> people don't like you as much you don't make as much money and then i asked specifics and they said, well, i really don't know. >> reporter: were you worried this would backfire? >> sure. it could always backfire nothing is going to happen. >> reporter: but king wasn't done yet.

>> he hustles off the court and i hustle on the court. that's what matters. >> i don't think she could stand up to the stress and the strain. >> reporter: in september of 1973 she found herself playing a match for the ages not for a tournament title, but rather for the advancement of the women's rights movement in the famous battle of the sexes against bobby rigs, the world's number one women's player beating the 55-year-old rigs in straight sets. >> we threw our arms around each other, and he said, i underestimated you i went, oh, where's my dad. >> reporter: that had to feel good. >> yeah. because my dad always said to my brother and me, never, ever underestimate your opponent and always respect them, even if you don't like them. that was so perfect what he taught us.

>> reporter: how did your parents react? >> my parents hardly watched me play, but i pleaded with them to watch this match, and they were actually there so it was great. >> reporter: you talked about that one being so important. it wasn't a grand slam win. >> that doesn't count. >> reporter: but it changed your career it changed your life. >> it really was about social change women have come up to me since that match that match has been mentioned every day of my life since that match, by the way. unless i stay in the apartment and don't ever go out. the men will come up to me, much more reflective. president obama said he was 12 when he saw it and he said, that match really did affect me and how i raised our two girls. >> reporter: at 79 years old, her have king says her work towards

equality isn't finished yet. ses posted this picture with you and said without billy jean king, i don't know if any of us female but the stars that came after her have frequently praised her immense impact and how she paved the way for their success. a few years ago, serena williams posted this picture with you and said without billie jean king, i don't know if any of us female athletes would be here do you think that's true >> wow i don't know i haven't thought about that. >> reporter: people consider her an icon and a trail blazer for her to say, you, billie jean king, how does that feel >> it feels great. but it feels connected and that's what i want for your generation. >> reporter: in what way >> we connect to each other. every generation passes the baton to the next generation we have an opportunity to make this world a better place, and i want the players today to lead, just like we led back in the old days but i want them to do the same and pass the torch, each generation >> i could have talked to her for the rest of the day. and this also grabbed my attention. so the second time billy ever picked up a tennis racket he was in the fifth grade, and she told her mom that she was going to be

the number one player in the world, something that, of course, she went on to achieve a few years after she turned pro so she believed in herself when she was a little girl. that inspires so many other girls and women, both in sports and in life. >> she manifested it. >> she listened. >> i said, you are the only person i was like before al roker, she did it before you did it. >> oh, absolutely. >> she was like, oh, yeah. >> there are a lot of folks that have had an individual impact on a sport. no athlete has impacted a sport more than billie jean king. >> you know what she made it very clear she's not finished yet. >> president obama says to her, i remember exactly where i was when i watched that match. >> thank you, billie jean king, for talking with us. >> that was awesome. let's show you what we've got as far as your weather for today. severe storms moving through the northeast.
