7:00 am
potential indictment for election interference stands as we come on the air. and later new barricades outside a courthouse in georgia as a district attorney weighs
7:01 am
her own charges against trump. ahead this hour, trump's legal jeopardy reaching a boiling point. hello on this friday, it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york, and we're going to hit the ground running this morning and start with the three new charges against the former president in a special counsel's investigation into the handling of classified documents. he halls has a new co-defendant, a maintenance supervisor at mar-a-lago and this new indictment details the scheme to delete surveillance video at that resort. here to break down the new charges and reaction, nbc's garrett haake in our nation's capital, vaughn hillyard, near trump's bedminster home, renato mariotti, and laura jarrett. walk us through the new charges and what we know about this new
7:02 am
defendant? >> we get three new charges here for the former president, two related to this obstruction plot that is alleged here, which also includes the new defendant, and a third related to another classified document kind of added on top of the list of 31 which he was already charged with possessing. as relates to this new defendant, carlos deolivier roe, he's a maintenance worker, a means supervisor at mar-a-lago. the indictment lays out a series of events in which he has conversations with the former president and then has conversations with other employees basically saying we need to make -- the boss wants this surveillance video on this server to disappear. he basically then later tells the fbi he doesn't know what they're talking about. he has no idea what they mean so he winds up with three additional charges. he's not a public facing person. he's not a political person. donald trump described him on a radio interview as a loyal member of his staff. even that loyalty is discussed
7:03 am
in the indictment in the context of whether or not the trump folks would provide a lawyer for him. >> there's this whole scene laid out in the indictment where this new co-defendant de oliveira pulls another unnamed trump employee identified only as employee 4 here into a small room known as an audio closet and tells this employee that the boss wants the server with surveillance footage deleted. that employee says he didn't know how to do it. he didn't believe he had the rights to do it, and the indictment goes on to say deoliveira insists that the boss wanted the server deleted and ask what do we want to do. do we know if it was deleted? >> every indication is that it was not or at least not effectively because in the fbi's search warrant. affidavit that came out earlier this month, we learned that it is surveillance video from outside the storage rooms where these boxes were kept.
7:04 am
there was a key piece of evidence against waltz nauta. he's seen going in and out of these rooms removing more boxes than he ultimately returns and that that was part of the case that the fbi was able to build leading up to his indictment. if any video was deleted, temperatures not sufficiently done to prevent more charges being filed in this case. >> laura, does it matter if they never deleted anything? >> nope, the indictment charges him with attempting to do it, and that's all they need to show. i will be interested to see what further evidence comes out here. obviously they have quite a bit of text messages, perhaps audio. you look at that indictment, and they have sort of like quotes. the government doesn't use quotes unless they can back that up in a way that they can prove in court. they're not going to just put things in quotes that would no, ma'amly -- normally be summarized. was someone recording this, how did they get that type of information. they do not need to show
7:05 am
anything was actually deleted. there's reporting to suggest there are gaps in that footfoot. >> what do we know about this person only identified as employee 4? >> his name is ta var ez, he's the i.t. director there at mar-a-lago. you will see a trend in this case where a number of sort of these lower level mar-a-lago employees are all represented by the same firm or at least all paid by trump's super pac. >> does it sound like he could be a cooperator? >> very likely. i certainly don't think that donald trump wanted him to divulge that information to law enforcement, and i think that really, ana, the one reason why jack smith decided that he was willing to, you know, risk delay to add another defendant is the hope that there may be more cooperators. i certainly think the additional
7:06 am
defendant adds an element where these two men have to be thinking is the other guy going to flip before me? do i need to worry about him pointing the finger at me. obviously they're currently represented by trump affiliated lawyers. these are men who ultimately, unlike donald trump, don't have billions of dollars. are they both going to take the fall for him? i think jack smith is hoping one of those two men is willing to flip. >> they seem to refer to trump as the boss, but they don't actually say his name. is the boss solid enough evidence to pin this to trump? >> yeah, what's going to happen is trump employee 4 is going to come in and testify that he understood when they were talking about the boss, he understood that to be a reference to trump and that that is who everyone -- you know, who everyone when they used the term the boss, that's who they referred to. that's what i think is going to happen there. that's not the only evidence
7:07 am
against donald trump to put it mildly. there's obviously tons of evidence in this indictment including some new evidence, a new charge related to the document he was waving around. plenty of evidence, that's just icing on the cake. >> vaughn, what are we hearing from trump for the first time this morning since we learned about these new charges? >> reporter: right, actually, just in the last hour we have this new interview with donald trump who is here at his bedminster club in new jersey. i want to preface this interview is with john fredericks and this is a very friendly figure to him. his first question out of the gate was about trump's winery in virginia. he didn't directly ask him about the superseding indictments or the charges within. donald trump brought it up himself. i want to let you listen to his response. >> they went after two fine employees yesterday, fine people, and i don't think they think that the tapes were even -- these were my tapes that
7:08 am
we gave to them, and they basically then say that's not enough. i don't think we would have had to give it. i'm not sure that we would have even had to give it. these were security tapes. we handed them over to them. if we wanted to fight that, i doubt we would have had to give it. >> number one, as you just heard there, ana, donald trump didn't actually deny telling the employees to delete this footage. he didn't make that direct denial in this particular interview. donald trump's defense counsel hasn't been able to walk into a courtroom and present its defense to a jury, yet donald trump continues to go on these friendly air waves and lay out his owns defenses that have meandered from the argument he was able to hold onto all such material because he declassified it himself upon leaving the white house, but then also arguing in an interview on fox last month that, in fact, he was
7:09 am
just holding up newspapers and articles and not a document related to an iran military attack. for donald trump, he's only complicating his own legal counsel's defense efforts here as they begin to build their case over the next year. >> let me pick up on that second part that vaughn was just referencing, the other new charge that has to do with the classified military planning document trump allegedly showed an author and publicist and a couple of staffers at bedminster, the one trump claimed didn't actually exist. it turns out prosecutors have the document. how significant is that? >> he had said it was bravado. he had at one point implied it was ruffling newspaper. turns out they got the document and it was classified. you know how they got it, he returned it to them. the indictment lays out a chat and has a range of dates for how long they kept the documents. they received that document in january 2022. that is the time he returns the documents to the national
7:10 am
archives. it's the only document in the single set of documents that we have that he actually returned. all the rest of the documents the justice department had to go fetch from mar-a-lago, and his attorney turned it over or they got it in the search raid. >> jack smith's team is still arguing that these new charges should not delay the start of the trial, which is slated for may 20th of next year. what do you think this does for the time line? any chance that date stays firm? >> i think it's unlikely and i think that jack smith made a judgment call here, ana. he decided at the end of the day that he was not going to be able to rush through a trial with aileen cannon. he can say that with a straight face, i think he just -- the strongest possible case against donald trump -- he's just adding another defendant at a later stage and the charges of course is going to introduce oh opportunities.
7:11 am
>> all right, everybody, thank you all. when we're back in just 60 seconds. jack smith's other investigation, where the probe into election interference stands this morning with that potential indictment still looming for trump. plus, the elephant in the room, how trump's growing legal jeopardy has become a campaign issue dogging his 2024 competitors. also ahead, 160 million under heat alerts, the grim preparation one city is making. and later, lebron james breaks his silence after his son went into sudden cardiac arrest. into st helping businesses both large and small, communities and the people who live and work there grow and thrive. we're proud to call these places home too. they're where we put down roots,

7:13 am
election interference investigation with that grand jury meeting and trump's attorneys gathering with jack smith's team in washington, d.c. we also learned yesterday that the secret service and d.c. police are coordinating logistics in case trump is indicted in that probe, and that's not the only jeopardy trump is still facing. in atlanta yesterday, orange barriers were put up outside the fulton county courthouse. this is where a district attorney, fani willis has been presenting evidence to a grand jury about alleged election interference by trump and his allies there in georgia. we don't know for sure that's why they're there, but fani willis has signaled that a decision in that case could come as soon as next week. i want to bring in nbc news justice correspondent ken dilanian. i know you've been burning the candle on both ends. thank you so much for being here with us. i heard you describe this as the third inning for the legal troubles of donald trump. jack smith's other probe dealing with election interference.
7:14 am
where does that stand this morning? >> good morning, ana, yeah, with apologies for the baseball metaphor, i made that assessment because as important as this classified documents case is -- and it's hugely significant, as someone who's covered the intelligence community for more than a decade -- the case involving essentially an attempt to delay and stop the lawful transfer of power before january 6th is orders of magnitude more significant for our democracy, and it's both the federal case and the atlanta case, and here's where it stands. donald trump, as we know, got a target letter. that means he's almost certain to be indicted and a series of steps generally would take be ever that happens. yesterday donald trump's lawyers we learned had a last final meeting with jack smith and his team at his office where according to sources familiar with that meeting they made a pitch as to why their client shouldn't be indicted, and nobody believes that that meeting changed any minds. and it was a cordial meeting but it didn't -- it was a check the box kind of exercise.
7:15 am
now, we know that we don't expect anything happening today. we don't believe the grand jury is meeting today, but we expect the grand jury to meet next tuesday and perhaps next thursday. it would not be surprising at all to see an indictment next week. that's going to be an earth shattering development, even though we've been talking about it a long time, to actually see it in black and white would be a huge deal. >> let's turn to georgia. those barricades got a lot of attention. is it possible these shoes could drop simultaneously? >> in a sense, it is possible because d.a. fani willis down there has talked about the first week in august being a time where she asked judges to take certain steps with some people reading into that that the indictment could come then. it's not clear whether she is coordinating with the justice department. a lot of people i talked to believed the justice department would like to go first when it comes to a threat to american democracy. but you know, that georgia case is really interesting because it's a discreet case about what
7:16 am
happened in one state, and in theory it could go to trial faster potentially because it deals with a narrower set of issues. that prosecutor have talked about potential racketeering charges in that case. that is definitely one to watch and deeply significant. if something goes wrong legally with the january 6th case regarding jack smith and his team and that's very possible. these are complex legal the theories, the georgia case will remain with a different set of laws. >> thank you for keeping it straight for us. for me were joined by timothy hay fee, the lead investigator for the house january 6th select committee. tim, good to see you. there are so many different is and sprawling legal investigations into donald trump, and they all seem to be reaching a boiling point at the same time. what do you make of the timing, and does it complicate the different cases? >> yeah, i mean, certainly when there's overlapping cases that all involve the same facts, it's
7:17 am
complicated. it's not surprising, though, ana, we back during our investigation had communications with fani willis's team and provided them some limited information. we turned over all of the information we gathered at the end of our work to the special counsel. there was a sort of a foundation on which both of those investigations have built. they're overlapping fact as ken said, the georgia case involves the georgia election. what happened in georgia was really replicated around the country and it was orchestrated by former president trump and others in washington. georgia is sort of a subset of a broader pattern that will be likely alleged in the special counsel. so a lot of jockeying as to who goes first and disclosures in both cases but it will all sort out over the coming months. it seems like that process is imminent. >> different cases, different
7:18 am
venues, different jurisdictions. we were closely watching that election interference probe in d.c. this superseding indictment in the classified documents case now just proves that they're not done investigating that case either. your thoughts about jack smith having to straddle and lead both of these incredibly consequence cases with historic implications. put that into perspective for us. >> yeah, it is historic. he has two separate teams that are working on each of these cases. this is sort of a little mini u.s. attorney's office where you've got the team focused on the documents matter, some whom went to investigating that matter before the special counsel identifies was created. another team was looking at january 6th. some of them similarly came to the special counsel after having already started that. the fact that they have a common defendant or set of people that are there is what makes it so significant. but they really are two separate criminal investigations involving separate facts.
7:19 am
he can do both at the same time. he can actually continue to investigate those matters even after indictments are issued. the doj rules do not allow prosecutors to continue to investigate strictly a case that's charged. there has to be indication of possible new charges or new defendants. as we saw yesterday, they added a new defendant and some additional charges. if and when a january 6th indictment issues, it doesn't necessarily mean there won't be continued investigation and potential lay superseing indictment. >> we do know that there are supposed to be some additional witness interviews taking place in august, and so if an indictment were to happen before then, obviously you're saying that that would be perhaps related to something that comes as a superseding indictment or perhaps involves other people. so as we talk about what is happening in that case specifically right now, we know the grand jury met yesterday at the d.c. courthouse. we also know trump's lawyers met with the special counsel about
7:20 am
that case yesterday. and two sources with direct knowledge told nbc news that trump's team was told to expect an indictment, which trump and his spokesperson dispute. still, we wait what do you think is going on behind the scenes right now? >> yeah, i think jack smith is giving the former president every opportunity to provide anything potentially exculpatory, just like he's talking to every witness who might have relevant information. he is being careful and thorough. he wants to ensure that this process is as scrupulously fair as possible, that he considers absolutely every fact that might bear upon this decision. the target letter indicates that there's evidence of the commission of federal crimes. so conveying to the former president's legal team that an indictment is likely is entirely consistent with the target letter, sending a target letter. i think it's a legitimate process i'm sure that the
7:21 am
special counsel team will listen and consider very seriously whatever information the former president produces. i'm not sure there is any information that would change the bottom line. we didn't see it. i'm not sure that it has -- exists. so i don't know that it's going to change the trajectory, but it is something that the special counsel understandably is providing time to accommodate. >> tim heaphy, i appreciate your time. all eyes on the hawkeye state as 13 gop presidential candidates come together just sixth months before the first primary there. ahead, how the trump campaign is cashing in on a third indictment that hasn't even happened yet and what voters are saying about donald trump's legal troubles as most of the field remains silent.

7:25 am
. welcome back. the campaigning doesn't stop even if the gop front runner is facing legal peril. tonight 13 republican candidates including former president donald trump are set to participate in a fund-raising dinner in iowa. how much will trump's new charges and another looming indictment dominate that event. let's bring in nbc news correspondent gabe gutierrez in des moines, iowa. and democratic strategist and former white house deputy assistant matt bennett. first to fwab, what should we expect tonight, gabe? >> reporter: hi there, ana, good morning. certainly that potential indictment will loom large over the lincoln dinner tonight. as you mentioned, 13 presidential hopefuls here, basically everybody except chris christie. this event will mark the first time that former president trump and governor ron desantis will be at the same event here in iowa. of course, this crucial early voting state. i spoke with some voters last night, some desantis supporters
7:26 am
about why they are choosing governor desantis over former president trump, even though the former president still is enjoying a massive lead here in iowa. take a listen to what they had to say. >> i voted for trump and i support him 100%. >> but now perhaps desantis? >> yeah, just because i don't know if it's trump's fault he's got so much baggage, because the democrats just present too much baggage for him. >> reporter: so as governor desantis struggles to reboot his campaign here in iowa focusing on the state, of course, there's a major issue as well that he's drawing increasing criticism from his rivals including senator tim scott who last night slammed the governor over those controversial african american teaching standards in florida that the governor repeatedly said were take out of context. these are the standards that
7:27 am
talk about potential benefits of slavery being taught to the students. last night senator tim scott said there is no silver lining to slavery. of course that as well as that looming indictment will loom large over that lincoln day dinner here tonight. >> desantis has been getting hit hard from all sides including those members of congress on the republican side of the aisle. congressman, i know when you were in congress you faced a lot of questions about donald trump. these republican candidates for president are now facing similar questions. i want to show you how ron desantis handled one of those yesterday. take a listen. >> i don't really want to get into like what's happened in the past on any of that. we talked about a lot of that in the past or for many, many years now. >> congressman it seems like the strategy is to pivot or to dodge without criticizing. will that work? >> i don't think it will. he's clearly trying to avoid any
7:28 am
conversation of donald trump. he fears donald trump's base. ron desantis is praying that donald trump will somehow implode. that he will go down and he will be the one to be able to snap up and secure much of the trump base. i think that's a bad strategy. i think at some point he and these other candidates are going to have to take on donald trump frontally and directly, just as chris christie has. chris christie may not be the perfect messenger, but he's not -- got the right approach. tim scott was criticizing ron desantis. he was right to criticize him, but you know what, he needs to be going after donald trump. they all need to be doing that. he's too great a risk for the party. they're hoping he'll go down. trump is not going to go down if they're not going to stand up and state explicitly why these indictments make him unelectable. they need to make the case and they're not doing that other than a few maybe chris christie and tim hutchison. >> and still donald trump keeps
7:29 am
fund-raising off this potential third title, the indictment that hasn't come at this point. he's sending out multiple emails. just yesterday, in fact, to his supporters essentially saying he expects the doj to indict him even though he's innocent saying it's to distract from what he calls the biden crime family and keep him from beating biden. matt, your response? >> yeah, i mean, we have long ago lost our capacity to be shocked by donald trump, but i think it's important to step back and take stock of what he is doing here. he's already of course kind of taken an axe to one of the key components of our democracy, which is the electoral system. now he's trying to do the same thing to our justice system. by undermining faith in the justice system among his followers, he is doing real damage to american democracy. this isn't just -- this can't be written off simply as a
7:30 am
political ploy or campaign tactic. it is that, but it is something much more insidious as well. we've got to call that out. >> congressman, six months out now from that iowa caucus, who do you have your eye on in the gop field besides trump? >> well, look, there are a number of them. i want to see somebody breakthrough as the true alternative to donald trump. i don't think we're going to get that out of iowa. iowa's not a very good predictor of republican presidential nominees. just asks presidents huckabee, santorum and cruz who won there. but failed to secure nominations let alone the presidency. i'm keeping an eye on which one of these candidates, whether it's christie, it could be haley or scott, but one of them needs to come out as the real alternative that's going to present a different vision than trump. but again, they have to take him on directly. this fussy footing around as they're doing, when trump gets
7:31 am
indicted they say things like -- they talk about the witch hunt and they talk about the deep state, more or less mimic what trump has been saying. that is only strengthening trump within the republican party. they need to pivot fast and draw that hard contrast. that's the only way to defeat him. >> was that dog or matt's dog? >> that was my dog yogi. matt, i owe you the first question next time around. got to move on today. good to see you, happy friday. up next, the intensifying scrutiny on our political leaders after recent health scares from senators mitch mcconnell and dianne feinstein. plus, are we in for some political football over our country's defense budget? the looming clash at the capitol.

this morning new concerns about the health of two well-known long serving members of the congress. senator dianne feinstein appeared confused in a committee meeting yesterday and was interrupted after she began to make a speech when she was only supposed to say aye or nay on a bill. >> and it funds priorities submitted. >> just say aye. >> okay, just -- aye.
7:37 am
>> thank you. >> meanwhile, republican senators are expressing anxieties about minority leader mitch mcconnell's health after he froze during a press conference earlier this week. let's bring in nbc news capitol hill correspondent julie tsirkin now. julie, this is obviously a really sensitive issue, but what are mcconnell and feinstein's colleagues saying about these incidents? >> yeah, ana, that's exactly right. it's extremely sensitive in part because let's be real here, mcskonl and feinstein aren't the only or first members to be in their 80s or even 90s still serving in washington, and they aren't the only ones who experienced some bouts of health concerns this past year. so at least for mcconnell's colleagues, of course he is the most important republican in the senate, they are privately expressing some concerns that perhaps the leader has not been as sharp after he suffered that fall in march in which he was out due to a concussion and a broken rib.
7:38 am
privately they are expressing that he hasn't been able to communicate and be as effective as he normally has been. publicly we're hearing the exact opposite especially when it comes to his own leadership team, including john thune, who is poised to take over should mcconnell resign. >> he said he's fine. you heard him respond to questions yesterday, he was very crisp in his answers. >> all i know is he's tough. he's been here a long time. >> i think people still have a lot of confidence in him. >> i think he's just maybe fatigued. there's been a lot going on. we're doing all kind of bills. my head was spinning too, keeping up with all the things we're trying to get done. >> reporter: there's been a lot going on with senator tommy tuberville, and that's similar to what we hear from senator dianne feinstein's aides.
7:39 am
for mcconnell's part, leader mcconnell appreciates continued support of his colleagues and plans to serve his full term in the job they overwhelmingly elected him to do. that job is going to continue through 2026 if he does stay in his current term. >> and julie we're getting a statement as well from feinstein's spokesperson. let me read that, this is how they characterize what exactly happened, and i quote, trying to complete all the appropriations bills before recess, the committee markup this morning was a little chaotic. constantly switching back and forth between statements, votes, and debate and the order of bills, the senator was preoccupied, didn't realize debate had just ended and a vote was called. she started to give a statement, was informed it was a vote and then cast her vote. so again, that coming from senator feinstein's office explaining why that moment happened. so julie, let's switch gears here. this other issue is very important. the senate just passed a bipartisan defense policy bill, and walk us through what that
7:40 am
means as it sets up a big clash in the house, right? >> reporter: yeah, so we're still months away from that happening. they have to pass that bill by the end of this year. they are moving faster than they have in previous years. the senate just passed this massive bill overnight, it would plus up benefits and money and fund military service members and a lot of good stuff included in that bill. but it comes two weeks after the house passed an entirely different version of this bill and the two sides are pretty far apart to the point where we heard majority leader schumer actually met with speaker mccarthy yesterday to try to reconcile some of those differences. when they come back in september, we could see some conversations happening about the controversial amendments that house republicans were able to include in their version of the national defense authorization act. those have to do with abortion and transgender rights and diversity inclusion classes and programs taught to service members. this is going to set up a big clash when this bill goes to
7:41 am
