rampage happened on the 60th anniversary of the march o washington >> i am tired -- >> reporter: this morning a jacksonville community is grieving the stunning loss of three people, shot to death in what police say was a racially motivated attack. the fbi is investigating the shooting as a hate crime police say the gunman sent racist writings to local media, law enforcement, and his own parents expressing his dire to kill black people. video of the gunman in a tactical vest before he opened fire in the parking lot and then inside a dollar general store saturday afternoon. >> he let several of the store why i don't know some were white. i do believe there was a couple that were not. >> the victims were angela michelle carr, jerrald de'shaun gallion and anolt joseph laguerre jr., a dollar general employee, known as aj. >> why now

different hearings in two different federal courtrooms today and former president trump is right at the center of them, including right here in atlanta where today's proceedings could decide when and where and how this case moves forward. this morning, all eyes are on a federal courthouse in downtown atlanta where, after more than two years of investigation, fulton county d.a. fani willis is expected to lay out some of her case against former president trump and his 18 co-defendants, all charged with trying to overturn trump's 2020 election loss in georgia. >> the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise. >> reporter: today's hearing centers around trump's former chief of staff mark meadows and his push to move his case to federal court. but the d.a. subpoenaed key witnesses, including georgia's secretary of state brad raffensperger who was on the

receiving phone call of then president trump. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. >> reporter: it comes as a federal judge in washington is expected to rule regarding a different case against mr. trump, preparing to set a trial date in his federal election interference case. special counsel jack smith wants to start in january 2024, but trump attorneys asked for april 2026, well after the presidential election in which mr. trump is currently the gop frontrunner. and in georgia, the d.a. wants to start in late october though, the judge has not signed off. >> these trial dates are going to move. it's unrealistic, it's theatrics. >> reporter: all of it comes on the heels of mr. trump's historic surrender last week and that mugshot which is proving to be politically profitable.

the train campaign reports it has raised more than $7 million since last week's surrender in what the campaign calls its most profitable 24-hour period ever. as for that push to move the trial to federal court, a former chief of staff mark meadows and several others made that request. the former president has not done so, though he is expected to follow suit legal experts say that could likely mean a more sympathetic judge and a more politically diverse jury pool. craig? >> blayne alexander for us in atlanta. thank you. we now want to get more on these cases from nbc senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. great to see you let's start with that federal case in washington, d.c., on allegations of election interference what could factor into the decisions about a trial date they're asking for trial dates that are two years apart here. >> i think today we will get a little preview into the judge's thinking the government is clear. they want this trial to happen

before the 2024 election even if they say january, they know it will probably get delayed a couple times that at least gives them a goal that allows them a little leeway of course, it is in the thick of the primary season trump says let's have it happen almost three years from now. i don't think we're going to see the judge split the baby and do something in the middle. i think it is largely going to depend on whether she thinks that the former president has said anything in his social media posts that's potentially problematic where she thinks it is going to taint the jury pool and we need to do this past. we're going to get a preview of her thinking today for sure. >> let's go from d.c. to georgia now. again, the former president's chief of staff mark meadows, co-defendant, he is trying to ge that case moved from state court to federal court what could be the thinking there? >> it seems as though, in part at least, is the thought you get a larger jury pool if you go into federal court the idea that you can say well a larger jury pool means i can win, i think that that's stretching it a little bit too far.

the thing to remember that is more interesting in my perspective is no cameras in the court in federal court he was a federal officer when it was happening as well. he hasn't asked for that i wonder is it a dysfunction on the legal team there was a shakeup at the last minute is it some sort of strategy recognizing the judge in this case may not be favorable. he was appointed by president obama. where the judge from florida president trump appointed that judge. i don't know the thinking there, but it's worth noting. former trump has not asked for that case to go. >> what are the broader implications here? if meadows wins, does that mean the entire case gets moved to federal court? including former president trump -- >> so that's something we have been looking into because in the civil context you see that one as to one goes to all and it is not clear in the criminal case that happens. it might be mark meadows goes to federal court.

and you see at the same time other co-defendants still having their case from georgia. so it just underscores what a sprawling case you have in georgia, even though this is the mirror image playing out in washington, d.c. it is a lot of different cases on the map here to keep track of. >> senior legal correspondent laura jarrett helping keep track of it all. thank you. now the new information on a deadly crash involving a u.s. military aircraft. three marines died off the coast of australia we have more live from melbourne. sara, good morning to you. what's the very latest on this >> reporter: good morning, kristen and craig. well, that marine osprey carrying 23 u.s. marines crashed on a remote australian island just one month after four australian soldiers were lost in a helicopter crash during a separate training exercise between the two nations. this morning recovery efforts still underway on melville

island after a deadly u.s. marine osprey crash off the coast of mainland australia. three u.s. marines died in the tragic crash in an aircraft similar to this one, which occurred while transporting troops in a routine military exercise its cause still under investigation. >> emergency operations will now focus on the recovery of the three deceased marines >> reporter: all 20 survivors rushed from the remote location to the city of darwin where eight remain in hospital u.s. ambassador to australia caroline kennedy praised australia's swift response and ongoing support. >> this tragedy and the recent loss that australia suffered reminds us all to be grateful for those who serve in uniform. >> reporter: the crash occurred sunday off australia and flew 50 miles away

>> at a time like this, we reach out to our american brothers and sisters in order to express our condolences. >> reporter: some 2,500 personnel from the u.s., australia and nearby countries were taking part in training exercises. this is not the first fatal accident involving the osprey, a rotor hybrid which can take off and land like a helicopter and fly like a plane. in jason june last year, five marines died in a crash in california investigators say a catastrophic mechanical failure the cause but as the investigation continues those in australia's northern territory say their first duty is to the survivors. >> i would just like to reassure the families who are on the other side of the road that we're caring for your loved ones they're getting the best care possible. >> reporter: president biden taking to x, formerly known as twitter, saying jill and i send our deepest condolences to the families of the marines that lost their lives and defens

officials here in australia tell me that the training exercises will resume. however, they will not take case -- take plac on the island where that investigation is continuing. >> all right sara james, thank you for that report. federal officials are investigating 5,000 pilots suspected of falsifying their medical records to hide conditions that could prevent y according to the washington post, they are military veterans who failed to report that they were als them from flying according to "the washington post," the pilots in question are military veterans who failed to report they were also collecting benefits for disabilities of the pilots under investigation, about 600 are licensed to fly passenger airlines the faa has now closed about half of those cases. the agency has ordered about 60 pilots to stop flying while their records were reviewed. well, now to the little league world series and the dramatic ending of the championship game. they were all tied up at 5 in

threatening to the brain, but it is a safety hazard to have to go into therapy once a week and talk about how that i affected her performance, i she took that time for herself, i don't think we've seen her in a way like this. >> we know each and every one of us are counting the days to the away, and there are five sets on the team, and how does this set her up for paris 2024? >> the year before the games, it is about paris olympics it is a year away. there are five spots, correct me if i'm wrong, on the team. how does this set her up for paris 2024 >> yeah. a year before the olympic games it is all about consistency. who can hit the routines when the pressure is on and when the time counts. and simone biles has proven she can do just that between nationals, these two competitions will set the tone for athletes we are seeing next year, so they're important >> they sure are who are the newcomers you're watching for as we head into the olympics? >> so we have a lot of familiar faces we saw in this competition. but two ones so far, shilese

jones and jocelyn robinson those are two we need to watch for. shi jones, she came in second in this competition. and third place was a couple points of a margin so that's a really big deal. that's the margin that simone does for second place. so we should keep an eye out on that. >> what i'm hearing is that the golden age of team usa gymnastics is going to continue? >> i think so. >> thank you lori will be back in the third hour as well. >> we'll see you then, lori. a heated discussion. a study shares the ideal bedroom temperature. it turns out it actually changes as we age. we will break that down. plus, a monumental movement. one of the most popular attractions in washington, d.c., as we have been talking about, soon will be leaving when the giant pandas are heading home. that is right after this
