jim jordan, a key trump ally in congress, ran interference, and intended to investigate and.asking -- asking for all this information. i think it was expected. nonetheless, especially given that congress is out on recess, and was on recess when trump was indicted, when he was surrendering, when he went for a mugshot. all of this is meant to say that we were going to expect something big coming back. and so, one of these investigations one is gonna be. it and all these other investigations, as you said, are still going on. but i don't see -- i mean, we have a huge moment in front of us, which is a possible government shutdown. which again, feeling a little bit of copy and paste here. but at this, point it feels like if democrats, and republicans especially republicans here, lead us, and lead the country into a government shutdown. likely, it will be republicans getting blamed. and i can't see -- going into 2024. >> we'll stay on that. point you call it copy and paste, i call it dÉjÀ vu, all over again. and, if it's like early september, and you think of going back to school, a

allies react to this. we did see his defenders on capitol hill immediately rally around him last night after the indictment dropped. they issued statements of support. people like jimt it's one thing to defend him and claim this is a witch hunt and donald trump is a victim of these investigations, but another to standby him and defend the continued false claims that the election was stolen or that the results in georgia were rife with fraud. exactly what the district attorney and others are laying out in that indictment. >> the no, i really won defense, it will be interesting to see what sol of the political allies say about it as well. alayna treene, great to have you. kate has some special guests. >> very special guests. >> ponder this. the fulton county da says she. s a a trial date in the next six months. if that would happen, a trial would take place just as the republicans start head together polls to vote in the presidential primary. let me bring in my guests, doug high and commentator and former democratic state representative bakari sellers. you have unique perspective on this not only as a lawyer, but as i would say a recovering politician. do you see in

allies about ukraine's counteroffensive, and its fate. in a moment, we will talk to retired 3 star general for his take. but first, the exclusive reporting from cnn's jimces, about what they believe ukraine's prospects are right now? >> a markedly negative turn, anderson. and these are sources i've been speaking to since the start of the counteroffensive. but even going back to the start of the war. and expectations of this counteroffensive were quite high, going back just a few weeks ago. but in recent weeks, as ukrainian forces have encountered really intense russian defenses in the east, and in the south. 3 lines of defensive lines, defensive ballots as they are known, with trenches as you are seeing there. tens and of thousands of minds. ukrainian forces have not proven able to breakthrough those lines. they have encountered staggering losses, i am told, both in terms of killed in action and wounded in action. and, ukrainian commanders in response to that, understandably have pulled back some of those units, to save some of those casualties. and while even a few weeks, ago the hope was that overtime they would be able to break through, more recentl

allies. he knows where to get in touch. he can find me at the heritage foundation. i'm glad to help another. so our third speakers, jim lucier, his managing partner at capital alpha partners. he's a noted expert on taxation and. jim, tell us about a much misunderstood tax. capital gains which even today some people confuse with normal. but in the early twenties because of the way the original tax bill. income tax bill was written off. there was a real question would it be taxed at 73%? capital gains? well, steve there certainly was. i just listened to discussion and i hear names like cactus jack, don't you wish we had members of congress with names like cactus jack today and who we just heard about, by the way, john garner, by the way, was unhappy as vice president. and he said the vice presidency was not worth a pitcher of spit. the word spit was used families. he had another word for. but i'm going to need. those were the days but if you're talking about an epic battle between andrew mellon and cactus. cactus jack garner bring taxes down. and it took five years to bring the income tax down from 73 to 25%. but it too

judiciary chair jim jordan demanded that information from fulton county day fani willis's office about her probe that resulted in those criminal racketeering charges for trump and his allies there are questions about whether and how your office coordinated with doj special counsel jack smith during the course of this investigation. to be clear, there is no evidence of coordination. he is asking willis to submit all documents related to the offices use of federal funds and all communications with doj and executive branch officials regarding her investigation due by september 7th. of course, you may recall jordan issued a similar demand of new york the elvin brag after trump was charged in the hush money probe. of, course not to be out done, house speaker kevin mccarthy now warning that republicans could move forward with an impeachment inquiry into president biden if they don't receive documents they are now demanding from biden family members. that includes bank statements and credit card statements. just this morning, he called it a, quote, a natural step forward. this is, of course, again, all part of the house gop's long running up session to prove president biden bene

allies to investigate the investigators. jake, do you suspect the gop will try to investigate the fulton county's indictment here? can they? >> yeah, i think brendan would agree with me, jimdan will almost certainly investigate the fulton county d.a., and he is trying to investigate the special counsel in the hunter biden charges. yes, this house republican conference, more than anybody else, has trump's back time and time again, and even when it's politically difficult to do so. yes, that will be what they spend the next 15 months or so leading up to the election. >> if they do spend the next 15 months or so on that, some continue talking about an impeachment inquiry into president biden, and will this be enough of a distraction to distract people away from trump's trials? >> well, they realize trump is likely going to be their nominee. they are stuck. even the jim jordan's of the world don't want to defend the substance of what we have seen, and when you don't want to defend the facts, you talk about the process and how it's politically motivated, or you talk about hunter biden. it's hard to separate donald trump's legal challenges with what republicans on the hill are

andrew mccabe, jim comey, robert mueller, how many people has donald trump said openly he wants locked up over the years? >> listen, it's always projection with the republican or trump alliesow? when they are talking about what they are accusing democrats of doing, it's what they internalized and what they have been doing for the last couple of years. what can we say, then? we are going to have to wait and see how this all plays out. mehdi, great to see you, as always, my friend, enjoy the rest of your evening. and good evening to you tonight on ayman. the range, that is how one high-profile democrat describes the trump legal defense strategy in the election interference case. this, as we look ahead to a possible fourth indictment in georgia. then, vindication. vindication, excuse me. i will speak with the january six committees lead investigator on how -- efforts laid the groundwork for the criminal charges brought by jack smith. and going broke, republican state parties are struggling for cash and everyone is blaming the ex-president. i'm ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. >> tonight, all eyes are on the dual election interference cases against donald trump and for the

jim crow or the segregation practices and also attemptingct to underscore the system and the network of resistance that existed in the state that involves networks of african-americans and other allies from statehood to the civil rights movement. now clearly while i did go up and down the state and spend time in the library's on riverside and lots of time at bancroft i tried to focus on the contours of jim crow to statehood and the beginning of the black freedom movement. many other scholars have documented the nuanced ways that were operated in the state. they helped us understand the way that racism and segregation operated in and across the state. but for the most part they were considered 21st century and i was interested in the beginnings of the system. how was it established and how was it refined and established before what we think of is the 1950s as part of the civil rights movement and the montgomery bus boycott or the sit in movement. so my book charts before that era. what i want to do today is focs on the story that is in chapter five of my book about how african-americans and their allies push back against the racially restrictive housing and the role of white supremac

jim acosta. you're in the cnn newsroom. we begin this hour with a shocking new development in the georgia investigation into election interference by donald trump and his allies. sources telling cnn fulton county investigators now have emails and text messages that directly connect members of trump's legal team to the breach of a voting system in rural coffey county. this new development coming as district attorney fani willis prepares to present the case to a grand jury. she's expected to seek an indictment of more than a dozen people as early asuesday. and that means this week, a former u.s. president could be facing criminal charges in four u.s. jurisdictions. we are covering all the latest developments in this, from the legal and investigative angles to this week's grand jury proceedings. we begin with zachary cohen, who helped break this reporting. start with walking us through how significant this is, this evidence linking members of trump's legal team to the breach of a voting system. >> reporter: yeah, jessica. these text messages really add to a growing body of evidence that links directly trump's lawyers and legal team to the breach of a voting syst

allies, reassuring them about his fitness to serve and reaching tout donors, according to our colleague manu raju, and he also made it a point to carry on with his schedule. he attended a fundraiser for jim banks, congressman running for senate, and people who were with mcconnell yesterday said he was i totally fine. scott jennings, a long-time mcconnell confidant told cnn this morning. >> he came back home to louisville. i was with him with jim banks, running for senate in indiana. he met with a group, answered questions, worked the crowd, and was, you know, on top of it, sharp and fullry in command of all the politics of the day. i should tell you i was with him two days ago and watched him give a long speech to a lunch crowd and then answer several questions from that crowd, and in the midst of another long day. throughout the month of august he has kept up a robust schedule. >> but despite this effort to try to reassure republicans that he is able to serve, there are still lingering questions about how long mcconnell can continue to serve republicans in the senate. right now his term as leader will last until the end of next year. he has said he will continue to carry out his duties

. >>> donald trump's allies in congress will stop at nothing to protect him, which is why we're seeing the likes of congressman jimter the prosecutors in trump's multiple indictments. their latest plan of attack, using the upcoming government funding deadline at the end of next month as leverage. but as nbc news reports, even if the government shuts down, it's not going to stop the prosecutions. quote, trump's indictments in new york and georgia would not be affected, while his federal indictments for allegedly mishandling classified documents and for his role in the january 6th insurrection are traditional matters that have been exempted from shutdowns in the past. the justice department said in a 2021 memo that in a shutdown, quote, criminal litigation will continue without interruption as an activity essential to the safety of human life and the protection of property, end quote. we're back with ryan reilly, frank figliuzzi and errin haines. let me start with you. this has been a theme of congress, this weapons inspection of government, right? jim jordan started a subcommittee, and it's called the subcommittee
