From CNN, I'm a Foma D.K. with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, August 27th.

Former President Donald Trump says he's agreed to the rules of an upcoming ABC debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump made the announcement on Truth Social today.

Here are CNN's Kristen Holmes.

The rules will be the same as the last CNN debate as what Donald Trump is saying, which seemed to work

out well for everyone except Joe Biden and then it says the debate will be

quote stand up meaning they won't be seated the candidates cannot bring notes or quote cheat sheets. We've also been

given assurance by ABC that this will be a fair and equitable debate and that neither

side will be given the questions in advance.

I did call a senior advisor after Donald Trump put this out

to make sure about this issue on muting the mics.

They said, yes, it does mean that the mics will be muted while the other candidate is speaking.

According to a source, Harris's campaign maintains that they're still in talks with

ABC over whether the mics will stay muted during next month's debate, but added

Special Counsel Jacksmith filed a new indictment in the election interference case against former President Trump.

He slammed down allegations against the 2024 presidential nominee in light of the Supreme Court's ruling

the attempts to use the Justice Department to promote its false claims of election fraud.

It also adjusts how prosecutors describe the allegations they are continuing to bring about

Trump's election subversion schemes.
