Thank you, 602 now breaking news
this morning again former Presit
Donald Trump's federal indictme.
The Secret Service is expected
to meet with Trump's staff and
security in the coming hours.
They're working to make out
a plan for his travel to his
arraignment on these new charge.
First, here's what we know.
This morning,
a federal grand jury indicted
the 44th president on charges of
mishandling classified documentt
his Mar A Lago estate in Florid.
Overnight on the Truth social platform,
Trump doubled down on his innoc.
I'm an innocent man.
They come after me because now
we're leading in the polls again
by a lot against Biden.
So that 7 count indictment involves the
retention of National Defense information,
also conspiracy and obstruction.
And these charges are being filed in Florida.
But Washington, DC is abuzz this morning.
The political implications coule
widespread, which is why we want
to take you live to the nation's
capital now with CNN's Gloria Pasmino.
Good morning, Gloria.
Thank you. For joining us,
we wanted to have you start by talking
about what is in the indictment,
the seven charges,
the seven counts there.
Yeah, Good morning, Tracy.
That's exactly right.
Big news here in Washington,
DC and the entire nation, reall,
last night when we first learned
directly from the former presidt
who took to social media to sayt
he was expecting to be indicted,
that he expected to be in a
Miami courtroom next week.
But we should be very clear and
say that this indictment as of
right now remains under seal.
What that means is that we
have not been able to lay eyes
on the document ourselves.
But.
Who are reporting and speaking o
sources and even hearing from te
former president's lawyer last night.
We know, as you mentioned,
that there are at least seven
federal counts in that indictme,
including the obstruction of justice charge.
There is also a charge related to the
destruction or falsifying of records.
There is a conspiracy charge
and making false statements.
The details of all of this
and exactly what the charges.
Are and what alleged crime or
event they pertain to will be
learned when that indictment
becomes unsealed presumably on
Tuesday when this hearing happe.
You know as as you know back in
April the president was facing
criminal charges in New York Ci.
That was a very different procee
in the in terms of it being.
A state case,
not a federal case like what
we're seeing now,
but it is possible that the pros
will look somewhat similar.
So let's talk about that,
the New York and then we're
going to be talking about Miami.
Can you talk about what you're
hearing in terms of security?
We saw a lot of it play out of w
York on what kind of security since we
know the Secret Service is going to be
involved since the former presi,
of course, has his own detail.
That's right. And we learned lat
night that the court martials
had not been giving any advance
notice that this was happening.
But we know that the Secret Sere
and Miami law enforcement will e
working together to prepare what really
is a massive security operation.
It is already a big operation.
When any former or current prest
comes into anywhere at any time,
this is a significant security operation.
Considering the setting here,
the former president showing
up to a courtroom,
a place where other proceedings
are taking place.
So we do know that local law
enforcement is working with stae
and federal agencies to ensure
that it can all be done safely d
that they can respond to whatevr
other possible events might hap,
whether there are supporters or
detractors of the president.
Similar to what we saw in New
York back in April.
All right, CNN's Gloria
Pasmina joining us again.
This morning on Wake Up Seabus.
Gloria, we thank you for your t.
Well, this morning we're hearing reaction
from Ohio elected leaders after.
Trump's indictment last night,
Ohio Republican Senator JD Vance
reacted to the news on social m,
calling the indictment A moral
and constitutional joke,
saying Attorney General Merrick
Garland disgraced the country.
Republican Congressman Jim Jordan tweeted
that this is a sad day for Amer.
We are working to find reactionm
Ohio Democrats this morning as .
Now, the story around the
former president is complex,
so we want to catch you up.
CNN's Gloria Pasmino just
touched on this a moment ago,
but here's some more background.
Back in March, the former presit
was criminally charged in New Y.
He's facing 34 counts of falsifying records
and bribing adult film star Stormy Daniels.
He pleaded not guilty.
Then in May,
he was found liable of sexual abuse in a
civil case against columnist E Jean Carroll.
He's also under investigation for his
connection to the January 6th Insurrection.
And in Georgia,
he's under investigation for efs
to overturn the 2020 election.
