A security expert warned about the impact of Trump's latest move to send hundreds of FBI analysts to Georgia.
CNN law enforcement and intelligence analyst John Miller broke down Trump's decision to send 260 intelligence officials to Georgia to investigate the 2020 election results. Miller said the move is "very concerning," especially as Trump pushes the Save America Act, a voter-proof-of-citizenship law.
"There is a through line when you combine the idea that he is pushing the SAVE Act and then, on a holiday weekend, calls in hundreds of FBI analysts," Miller said. "When law enforcement comes in and starts doing things like this...it creates this chilling effect towards election workers and others."
He explained that Trump called in "staff operations specialists and investigative operations specialists to the Atlanta field office," and "this is the kind of people where it looks like you would be dumping a ton of paperwork, maybe ballots on them."
The instructions to these hundreds of FBI analysts could even be to go through the ballots and investigate them "one at a time," Miller added. However, he cautioned that, "if they're doing a recount, that kind of usurps the election authorities of the state."
Whether or not they find anything, Miller warned, "You're creating this atmosphere that there's something wrong there, and I can't see these two things being unconnected," again referring to the Save America Act and noting that this "could have been done last week."
MS NOW's Jen Psaki kicked off "The Briefing" Thursday night with a rundown of the utter failure of President Donald Trump's "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall — and highlighted one moment in particular she thought was incredibly bizarre.
"This was the scene on Tuesday, when there were actually more in the band on stage than there were in the crowd watching them," said Psaki, showing footage of the fair. Crowds did not improve as the week progressed, she noted, "thanks in part to the absolutely bizarre entertainment choices the Trump team booked for the affair."
"This is one of my favorites because it's so strange, this moment when the guy who used to co-host Ted Cruz's podcast seemed to defend the Salem Witch Trials in an apparent debate with someone who I'm guessing is about ten years old," said Psaki, playing the clip of Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles.
"But the one area where the Salem Witch Trials went a little far is, I would say, they weren't organized enough," said Knowles in the clip. "So you had these random judges kind of burning these ladies." (The condemned at the Salem Witch Trials were hanged, not burned.)
"I'm not — I don't know if they were guilty or not, but I think more if it were more formalized, built up a little bit more maybe with like a Grand Inquisitor or something, that would have been a better way to do it," Knowles continued.
"If you don't know what you watched there, I don't know what I watched there either," said Psaki. "But I do know that the person he is talking to ... is definitely a child."
As all this played out, Psaki continued, "you can also see the people who gathered to watch them. And as bizarre as that was to watch, it may have also had the biggest crowd of any event I've seen at this particular fair," with "at least a dozen" spectators. And "things haven't improved since then. I mean, here was the scene earlier today when the stage actually started to fall apart and nearly crushed a group of performers."

Trump's plans for a massive fireworks display on July 4 triggered an emergency air pollution warning, according to a new report.
According to MeidasTouch News, an emergency warning went out across Northern Virginia alerting the public about health impacts from Trump's upcoming fireworks show for the 250th anniversary of the United States.
An estimated 880,000 fireworks shells are expected to be launched in the air in Washington, D.C., MeidasTouch reported, comparing that to the 20,000 shells normally used for Independence Day celebrations in the nation's capital. Trump is reportedly trying to break a Guinness World Record with the display.
The huge scale of fireworks is expected to let off large amounts of smoke, particulate matter, and heavy metal pollutants, according to MeidasTouch.
"Officials are reportedly concerned about exposure to both heavy metal particulate matter released by fireworks and carbon-based smoke particles," MeidasTouch noted.
The Northern Virginia emergency bulletin warned that the air pollution will create "unhealthy conditions for sensitive groups, including children, older adults, and individuals with heart or lung disease," MeidasTouch wrote. It also cited data showing significant increases in cardiovascular and respiratory emergency cases following this kind of event.
MeidasTouch wrote, "Healthcare facilities are reportedly being advised to prepare for elevated cardiopulmonary patient volumes during the two weeks following the celebration."
The bulletin's warning is based on the Environmental Protection Agency's own air quality index (AQI), which is on a 0-500 scale. According to MeidasTouch, the air pollution close to the center of the firework smoke is projected to go above 500 AQI. Workers near the National Mall are being advised to wear N95 respirator masks, according to MeidasTouch.
The smoke from the fireworks is expected to move eastward and "remain trapped" at low altitudes instead of rising and dispersing, MeidasTouch added, which would mean "potentially prolonging exposure for communities downwind."

An author who has written four books about President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that first lady Melania Trump has concocted a "preposterous" new way to try and silence him.
Michael Wolff, co-host of the "Inside Trump's Head" podcast with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast, said during a new episode that Melania Trump's legal team has moved to sanction the lawyers representing Wolff for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against her. A federal judge threw out Wolff's anti-SLAPP lawsuit against Melania Trump in May, which he filed after she threatened to bring a $1 billion lawsuit against Wolff for his claims about the Trump family's ties to disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
“Essentially, they are moving to sanction my lawyers for doing nothing more than bringing the lawsuit against Melania Trump,” Wolff said on the podcast. “So this is preposterous on its face.”
Wolff also claimed that he found out about the move from Boris Epshteyn, a lawyer close to the Trumps, whom Donald Trump has described as someone who will "say anything" to make him happy.
He claimed that hearing about the move from Epshteyn revealed that the strategy behind the lawsuit “was being coordinated at the highest levels of Trump law.”
