Summary
Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty in the sprawling Fulton County election interference case, waiving his right to an in-person arraignment next week. Trump is also seeking to have his case severed from his codefendants who have requested a speedy trial that could begin as soon as October. Former U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia Michael Moore and former Manhattan Chief Assistant DA Karen Friedman Agnifilo join AC360 to discuss the latest developments, as well as the question of whether former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows will succeed in his own efforts to have his portion of the Fulton County case moved to federal court. Plus, CNN Correspondent Brian Todd reports from Perry, Florida where the community is working to rebuild after Hurricane Idalia battered the region earlier this week.
