00:00Inmate number P01135809. Donald Trump turns himself into the Fulton County Jail and his mugshot enters the history books.
00:10What is next? A flurry of hearings and trial dates set to compete with a packed political calendar.
00:16So how does he pay?
00:18Former president, current Republican primary frontrunner and brief inmate.
00:23Donald Trump's surrender in Fulton County last night led to the very first mugshot for a former occupant of the
00:28Oval Office.
00:29Trump has already plastered the booking photo on the campaign tchotchkes, but long after the 2024 race, that image will
00:36still be in history books.
00:38Trump wasn't the final defendant to surrender in the 2020 Georgia election interference indictment.
00:43This morning, the last two turned themselves in, so now all 19 defendants have been booked.
00:49One of them has to remain in jail until his bond is set.
00:53Another already has a trial date just eight weeks away, and one is the latest to say that she was
00:59acting at then-President Trump's direction.
01:02CNN's Caitlin Polance is at the courthouse for us.
01:06Caitlin, yet another defendant saying that it was Trump who directed directly the fake elector effort.
01:12At similar arguments being made by Mark Meadows, who was the White House Chief of Staff, Jeffrey Clark, who was
01:17in the Justice Department at the time, on whether the case could be moved to federal court.
01:22Trump hasn't asked for that yet, but he has some time.
01:25He still could.
01:25And the other thing that's indicative of is that a parade of surrenders actually concluded this morning, although there is
01:32still one person who remains detained at the jail.
01:37Yeah, Harrison Floyd, we believe, is still in the jail, and he's going to stay there until it's...
01:42They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this one, former President Trump's campaign, is hoping is worth
01:47a whole lot more.
01:49How his team is raising money off of this historic mugshot, plus a dramatic drop in the number of missing
01:56people in Maui as officials race to identify the lost.
01:59Also, we're learning the state's main electric utility is now accused of compromising evidence in the wildfire investigation.
02:05We are on the latest there.
02:07And the school year has begun across the U.S., but some districts are already closing their doors as cases
02:12of COVID and other viruses spike.
02:16Breaking news out of Louisiana.
02:18A fire has broken out at a Marathon Petroleum site in St. John the Baptist Parish.
02:24This is about 40 miles west of New Orleans.
02:26This just in, Russian investigators say they have recovered flight recorders from the crash site.
02:31From the crash, they reportedly killed Wagner Group Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin.
02:36An investigative committee released a statement saying that 10 bodies were also recovered from the crash site.
02:42Genetic testing now underway to confirm if Prigozhin was, in fact, on that plane.
02:47But the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
02:49And now the Kremlin is speaking out for the first time, forcefully denying that it had anything to do with
02:56what happened.
02:56It's calling any speculation about that, quote, an absolute lie.
03:00U.S. officials say the Wagner Group chief was likely one of the passengers.
03:04And in the meantime, there are several tributes in Prigozhin's hometown of St. Peter's.
03:08All right, so school is back, and that means the return of germs spreading in the classroom and into your
03:14home.
03:14And already we've seen an uptick in COVID cases this summer, along with flu and other respiratory illnesses that are
03:20well represented in my house
03:22and that schools are grappling with a difficult start to the school season because of.
03:26So in eastern Kentucky, two school districts actually canceled in-person classes this week after more students and staff got
03:33sick.
03:34One of the districts reporting an 82 percent decrease in attendance last Friday.
03:40But relief could be coming soon.
03:43We have CNN.
03:43He is the first former U.S. president, of course, to pose for a mugshot.
03:47And less than two hours later, he became the first presidential candidate to use a mugshot for political gain.
03:53Breaking his silence on X, formerly known as Twitter, and seemingly coining a new campaign slogan, Never Surrender.
04:01CNN's Elena Treen joining us now from New Jersey near Trump's Bedminster Golf Resort on this.
04:06Elena, what else is Trump saying about his arrest?
04:10Making phone calls, those are things that were within his scope of duties as the chief of staff to the
04:17president.
04:18And so that is kind of the strongest argument that we've seen thus far.
04:23I still think that it is likely to fail, though the bar for removal is very low.
04:30And as you said, we have this crucial hearing coming up on Monday.
04:34A federal judge is going to have a preview of Fonnie Willis's case against Meadows.
04:40And it really could be a crucial hearing because when the judge decides this issue on removal,
04:47even Meadows removing to federal court could bring the whole gang with him.
04:53There's precedent where everyone is removed.
04:57So it's really an important hearing and we'll see what happens.
05:04Yeah, we'll certainly be watching that very closely with you.
05:06Anna Bauer, thank you so much.
05:08Always great to have you.
05:10Jim?
05:11All right, a bit of a roller coaster on Wall Street today.
05:13Markets are back in the upswing after initially dipping in the wake of this new warning from Fed Chair Jerome
05:19Powell.
05:21Coming up.
05:22No, we're not to that point yet.
05:23We're not to that point yet in news, right?
05:25Okay, so Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is taking a swipe at Fox's debate moderators.
05:31We're going to explain why and how big of a bump in fundraising he had.
05:35And the extreme heat that we are seeing is turning one of the safest sports into a potentially dangerous one.
05:42How the PGA Tour is taking measures to help players and fans throughout the Tour Championship this weekend.
05:48Iowa caucuses less than five months away and candidates vying for the Republican nomination are hoping to gain some momentum
05:56following this week's first presidential debate.
05:58A post-debate poll showing potential Republican primary voters were most impressed by Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Nikki Haley.
06:06The DeSantis campaign says it raised more than $1 million in the first 24 hours after the debate.
06:12And today he is out campaigning in Iowa, hoping to ride that wave, even as former President Trump continues to
06:18dominate the national polls.
06:20CNN's Steve Conterno is live for us in Iowa.
06:23Steve, what is the DeSantis campaign saying?
06:29Well, the DeSantis campaign...
06:31Still to come on CNN News Central.
06:32Well, extreme heat will be bearing down on the PGA players this weekend at the Tour Championship.
06:37The heat index is expected to reach triple digits.
06:41How they plan on playing through it next.
06:44Just a blistering heat wave is spreading across the Midwest and the Deep South from the Gulf Coast up to
06:51the Carolinas.
06:52Houston tying its hottest day on record yesterday with, get this, 109 degrees.
06:58And the Atlanta area could see a heat index today of up to 109.
07:02Derek Van Dam is sweating it out.
07:04Yes, he is at the, out in Atlanta at the PGA Tour Championship.
07:09This is tough.
07:10Look, this is tough.
07:11I know you're just walking in golf, but they walk quickly and they are out there for hours.
07:15This is a tough, this is a really tough situation.
07:20Yeah, you said it best, Brianna.
07:22No, I mean, there is no...
07:23A booking number, a mugshot, and a new fundraising slogan, never surrender, after literally surrendering at a county jail.
07:31What happens next is Donald Trump's trial calendar collides with the 2024 campaign season.
07:37The 45th president booked on criminal charges four times now, and that last one makes him the first ex-president
07:44to have his mugshot taken.
07:47Donald Trump called his experience at the Fulton County Jail last night terrible.
07:51That didn't stop him from using the mugshot to sell campaign merchandise.
07:54As he tries to profit off the case, several of his co-defendants are trying to get out of it,
07:59and they're doing it by pointing the finger right at Trump, saying that they were just following his directions.
08:05CNN's Caitlin Fullance is at the Fulton County Courthouse for us.
08:08Caitlin, tell us about the next steps in all of this.
08:14Well, for Donald Trump and for all of the eight...
08:16Less than two hours after the former president's mugshot was filed into the Fulton County legal system,
08:22Donald Trump started using it to fund his re-election campaign,
08:25and seemingly coining a new campaign slogan, never surrender.
08:29CNN's Elena Treen is joining us now from New Jersey, near Trump's Bedminster Golf Resort.
08:34Elena, what else is Trump saying about his arrest?
08:40Well, Brianna, I think two things can be true of how it was going to go,
08:44but I can tell you that in my conversations in the hours after his surrender,
08:48they do think it went as well as it could have.
08:50And, of course, they are pushing a lot of media attention around that mugshot
08:54and still trying to fundraise off of it as much as possible, Brianna.
08:59Yeah, a beer koozie for $15, I see, though it is a set of two,
09:04so I guess it's $7.50 each.
09:06Elena Treen there for us in Bridgewater, New Jersey.
09:09Thank you so much.
09:10Jim, Kathy Hochul is urging President Biden to help with the growing influx of migrants in the state.
09:16Over 100,000 asylum seekers have actually arrived there in the past year,
09:20and just as New York faced a historic heat wave,
09:23migrants have been forced to camp out on the sidewalks.
09:26This month, hundreds have waited outside the Roosevelt Hotel,
09:29which has been turned into a migrant center to try to secure temporary shelter.
09:34On Randall's Island, a second round of temporary tent housing has been built,
09:38but this is a growing crisis that Governor Hochul says started in Washington.
09:44The screens are everywhere.
09:46Coffee shops, sports stadiums, online travel sites, even self-service kiosks.
09:51Asking customers that question, do you want to tip?
09:55If you're confused about when and what to give, well, you are not alone.
10:00CNN's Vanessa Yurkiewicz reports.
