CNN
About this episode

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants former President Trump’s trial to start on March 4, 2024, just one day before the Super Tuesday primary contests. According to the court filing, Willis also asked the judge to schedule arraignments for the defendants for the week of September 5th and says these proposed dates “do not conflict” with Trump’s other criminal cases. Former Democratic Georgia state senator Jen Jordan was a witness before the grand jury in Willis’ probe. She tells Anderson Cooper what it was like testifying in front of the jurors. Plus, the Hawaii governor said in a news conference tonight that the death toll from the wildfires has risen to at least 110. Earlier, he told CNN there are “probably still over 1,000 missing.” President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Maui on Monday to meet with first responders and survivors along with federal, state, and local officials. CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir joins AC360 from Lahaina, Hawaii to give the latest on the search and rescue efforts. He also shows how the fire threat remains.
