Im Jessica Gene In Washington and just two hours from now, former President Donald Trump will be back in a New York City courtroom for the fourth week of his hush money criminal trial. One of trumps most loyal and trusted aides, hope hicks to stay on friday, offering and and emotional day of testimony after bursting into tears in front of her former boss. Cnns Zachary Cohen is here in the studio with me. Zachs walk us through some of the most important moments in her testimony and also how the prosecution might use these as they move forward time to weave together their story jurors, it just could be solved the prosecution really nudge closer to the repayment of Michael Cohen, trumps former lawyer, which is really at the center of this trial and also toward the alleged crimes are outlined in this indictment that was really the key takeaway from hope hicks is testimony that includes when prosecutors asked her about the reaction inside the Trump White House in 2018, when these stores worries about the payment to Stormy Daniels first started to emerge and hope hicks recounted conversation that she had with donald trump where he said that yes, Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels on his own volition. I didnt know anything about it and it wasnt involved in that hope hicks says that in testified that she didnt believe donald trump or Michael Cohen who said something similar to the New York Times and she also said that donald trump acknowledged that the payment and the fact that this story didnt come out before the 2016 election was really in his best interest. She testified, quote, i think mr. Trumps opinion was it was better to be dealing with it now and that it would have been bad to have that story come out before the election. So it really setting the scene for future witnesses it says we will have potentially firsthand in direct knowledge of these payments and these reimbursements, which she did not have, allowing them to really crap this narrative that the prosecution has been trying to implant in the minds of the jurors that these Hush Money Payments in this reimbursement of Michael Cohen was part of a broader conspiracy to influence the outcome of the 2016 election all right. Stay with us. I want to bring in criminal defense attorney David Oscar Marcus into this conversation. David, how damaging do you think that testimony was . Four, the defense exact just walked us through yeah no. Its really devastating, right . Because shes an ally of trump and his seen as someone who, who still is loyal to trump in many ways. So when shes up there and crying, its its really tough on the trump team and its much different than cohen who has an ax to grind, who will be coming up. So it was a tough friday tough way to end the week as a Criminal Defense Lawyer never want the prosecution to end on a friday like that, and they did. But the trial is far from over. You would expect the prosecution to be ahead after the first two weeks, right . Thats their case. So theres still a lot of trial left. I did think it was interesting that hicks testified that the former president didnt want this to be embarrassing or hurtful to his family. He was very concerned about what his wife melania was going to think kind of underscoring an argument that this was also at least in part personal. Do you think that helped the defense i do think it helps the defense. Its its part of the way theyre going to try to. So some distrust of the prosecutions case. I also thought it was interesting, you know, her her testimony about denied denied denied that this was the strategy of trump and always has been the strategy of trump. Wright denied, denied, denied, but that strategy often does not not work for Criminal Defense Lawyers in a trial, you have to be willing to accept and concede some things and fight on the big ones. And it looks like theyre denying everything in this trial, which is which is a tough burden for the lawyer, todd blanche to take on todds a good lawyer. I know him very well, but it looks like hes having to take on every single fight in this case, adopting that denied, denied, deny strategy yeah, its hard. Its a high bar. Zach, so far weve heard from the former publisher for the national enquirer, david pecker, the former lawyer for Stormy Daniels and Hope Hicks One other potential witnesses. Could we expect to see next . Michael cohen, of course, is david just mentioned one of them. There are several boldfaced names that are still out there, including Stormy Daniels, whos really at the center of these hush money allegations. And as you mentioned, Michael Cohen, who it feels like the jury has been primed and been prepped this entire process to prepare themselves for Michael Cohen eventual testimony, both by the Defense Attorneys who have been insisting he cant be trusted and that hes a liar. And it also by prosecutors by saying, look, ignore the fact that hes lied in the past. Ignore the fact that he does have some credibility issues. Listen to the facts and the words that are coming out of his mouth and remember that he does have direct knowledge of what happened in this case. So thats really the Pivotal Moment in this case is if and when Michael Cohen takes the stand and whether or not the jury believes what he says and david, which of those potential witnesses do you think could be the most challenging for the defense . Well, the defense is salivating from Michael Cohen. Thats going to be the big one of course. And the prosecution is going to be nervous. This is an admitted perjure admitted liar, and someone whos had a lot of trouble. I mean, even in this case, he promised everybody hed stopped going on social media and we wanted that last a couple of hours. So the defense needs a width in at some point in one of these battles, cinco de mile, the french lost that battle to the mexican army. The fence needs, needs to win. This week because its looking pretty bleak right now. Yeah, and our reporters inside the courtroom have been saying that trump has been closing his eyes, leaning back in his chair for a lot of the testimony, he then posted on truth social that hes not sleeping, hes actually listening intently regardless, what kind of impact do you think that behavior is having, if any, on the jury well the jury is watching every single thing that both trump and his lawyers do from the minute they walk into the courtroom to the minute they leave. And so they see him falling asleep. They see all of that are closing his eyes, whatever hes doing. I dont know if hes trying to send a message that hes that this is boring testimony or whatever, but i think the juries not going to like it. Its disrespectful. You got to look, you got to Pay Attention unless theres some strategy there to show the jury that they just dont think its important, but i dont think thats going to work. All right. That cohen and david, oscar marcus or thanks to both view we are following Breaking News tonight seen and learning the Biden Administration has paused a shipment, shipment of us made ammunition to israel, and it appears to be the first time us has stopped a Weapon Shipment to Israeli Military since the october 7 hamas attacks. Cnns Priscilla Alvarez is here with us now to talk more about this, it is underscoring. It is the first time this has happened since the october 7 attacks by hamas. But what are you hearing in terms of context around this . Well, im hearing when it doesnt evolve, we dont have all of the details as to what went into this decisionmaking process. We know what effects this one shipment of us maine ammunitions to israel, but a source telling me this is not connected to a potential Israeli Ground invasion of rafah thats in the Southern Gaza strip where there are more than 1 million displaced palestinians. This is important because that has been something that the us has talked at length about. They have warned israel against an invasion of that area. We had simply because there are so many civilians, it would be difficult to contain civilian casualties, but this pause was not related to that pressure that the us is placing on israel separately. It is not involve other shipments. That is to say that other assistance, Security Assistance, ammunitions are moving forward. So in a statement, the National Security the Council Spokesperson said the following quote, the United States has searched billions of dollars and Security Assistance to israel since the october 7 attacks pass the largest ever supplemental appropriation for Emergency Assistance to israel led an Unprecedented Coalition to defend israel against iranian attacks and well continue to do what is necessary to ensure israel can defend itself from the threats and faces. So its simply from this statement making very clear here that the us has not changed its policy toward israel. Source telling me that us officials maintain that this pause in shipment does not alter that. The other Important Note here is that he mentioned that appropriations 26 billion have been sent to israel as part of this israel Hamas Conflict that was passed by the us congress and signed by the president last month. So still a lot of questions as to why this shipment was put on hold. Theres no doubt that there are tensions between the us and israel. But the us official is making clear tonight that policy hasnt changed. And as this is going on, we have the ongoing discussions in cairo over the weekend to try to get a hostage and ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. Whats the latest on that . These conversations have been fluid, but what we do know is that they dispatched to senior us official, cia director bill burns on exactly. Thats oftentimes when the us has sent me it is during an intensive phase of negotiation, so it tells us that they are in an intensive moment that these negotiations are ongoing and that he is going to extend his trip to doha and will be there on monday that according to a source, so clearly all of this still very much ongoing, whether they can land a deal is very much an open question. But as you mentioned, just this would include a temporary ceasefire and the release of hostages, multiparty negotiations though. So still a ways to go unclear whether they can reach the finish line. All right. Priscilla alvarez with the latest reporting on both fronts. Thanks so much. Still ahead.

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist today i learned thoughts on capitol hill and this tonight, devastating flooding in texas now turned deadly in the last hour a Johnson County official confirming to see in an a child has died after being swept away in those floodwaters. Right now, some mandatory Evacuation Owners remain in place. Lets get right to a cnns rosa flores just outside of houston. Rosa, i know youve brought us the Breaking News about that childs death last hour. Have what more of you learned about the circumstances . Of that childs death you know what we know according to Johnson County officials and this is an area thats near dallas. Is that a 911 call came in at about 2 00 a. M. This morning local time, about a man and a woman and a child stuck inside a car in rising waters. And then of course, First Responders went to their rescue. But here is what the Johnson County official said that that 911 color witness, the occupants get out of the vehicle and attempt to get too dry ground on foot when all were swept into the floodwaters. The adults were rescued at a about 5 00 a. M. This morning. The body of the fiveyearold boy was recovered after 7 00 a. M. This morning and jessica, this is what we have been hearing from officials in multiple counties and theyre asking adults not to drive through rising waters. If water has swallowed the road, they are asking people not to drive through it. Theyre asking people not to move barricades and drive through rising water. Theyre also asking people to evacuate if they are in mandatory evacuation zones. Now, we hopped on an air boat with the Harris County sheriffs office. Today, we have video of this. They were assessing an area thats right behind me earlier today. It was not accessible other than by boat. And they showed us some of the dangers. I mean, we were on this air, but we were going over fences, over mailboxes. The the stop signs were at eye level and the First Responders explain some of the challenges. Sometimes they stretch their arms towards individuals telling them that they can rescue them, they can take them to Higher Ground and to safety. And a lot of the times individuals deny that help. They say that they want to stay in their homes. And of course, First Responders can drag people lottery their homes out of their private property. So thats some of the difficulties we talked to the lieutenant about this. And heres what he had to say about some of those challenges. Take a listen when evacuating people since last wednesday and all day yesterday in this area here. And there are still some people that they dont want to leave for whatever reasons. We do have mandatory evacuations as you can see, its extremely flooded here. And unfortunately, were getting more rain now, jessica, this Weather Event has been compared to Hurricane Harvey because of the water levels of the san jacinto river. I want to show you a comparison because take a look at the restaurant thats behind me. Its at a distance you can see that it is blue and has a roof. There was a local man here who took a picture of this building during Hurricane Harvey. And we have it for you and you can see that the water level is at about the roof. So that gives you a sense of the comparison Hurricane Harvey was just a beast when it comes to the the amount of water i remember Hurricane Harvey because i was here in houston covering it for cnn. I remember clearly that we had to move multiple times or live location because the water was rising so quickly and it was so dangerous and it pounded houston for so long, i believe it in received about 50 inches of rain and so jessica, that just gives you a comparison if you see that photo and what you see around me i mean, right now during Hurricane Harvey, the water would be above my head wow. Yeah, thats good context again, rosa, to kind of walk through the historic nature of what what theyve seen, their rosa flores, thanks so much.

President biden will address antisemitism in a speech at the us holocaust memorial. It comes against the backdrop of growing unrest that is spread across College Campuses. Protesters calling for an end to the war in gaza and for schools to divest from entities linked to israel. Cnn senior political analyst Senior Editor at the atlantic, Ron Brownstein joins us now. Ron, how politically fraught of a moment is this for biden yeah, its a very difficult moment and just some extent one that i think he has created a large extent. He has created for himself. I think his posture on the protests themselves he has indicated so far and hes likely to repeat this week. Does put him in the majority in the mainstream of Public Opinion defending the right to protest, but criticizing the excesses, the antisymmetric excesses, or even antiamerican excesses of some of the protests thats a comfortable place for haiti was not really part of this 60s generation. He talks about walking in a suit, pass protests in the late 60s is a little older than that. His problem is, is that i think the protests or more a symptom than a cause of the problem. The real problem is that a substantial portion of the Democratic Coalition and a substantial portion of, you . And voters are deeply alienated from the israeli conduct of the war in gaza and from the way biden has responded to it and enabled it youre looking at threequarters of young voters in the Institute Of Politics poll say they disapprove of the way he handled the war. So he, i think he can position yourself visavis the protests effectively, but in so doing, he only exacerbates the other problem hes got, which is this alienation, particularly among Younger Voters and so yeah, lets talk about those Younger Voters you mentioned the Institute Of Politics poll. And in that same poll, theres no doubt they are not happy with the way he is handling this war in gaza at all based on those numbers. But then when they asked them to rank them thats important issues. This one came up, i think as number 15. So what does that mean . How does that all shake out when we, when we when everyone goes to the polls in november and we looked to see who is going to be president yeah look i. Mean i you know, four thats right in this poll. This rank relatively low among the priorities of young people. I think the problem for biden here is that its coming in an environment in which is already facing headwinds with young people. I mean, he did not perform well with them in the primaries in 2020 they rallied around him in the general election against trump, but his Approval Rating among them has been lack ever since. And i think this war and the way he has approached it is really just one more brick on the load for him that hes carrying with those Younger Voters. I mean, hes really struggling and a lot of polls, the harb was better than a lot of the public polls, but still showed him underperforming from 2020 and he may have a big struggle getting back to where he was in 2020, given everything thats going on including in gaza what do you think his goal is in delivering this Keynote Address at the holocaust memorial, we have these propalestinian protests spreading all across College Campuses and were going to hear from him in a couple of days yeah. I look i think in the likelihood is that he is going to stick to the line that he has held so far, which is to say that protest is perfectly american and sort of in our dna but there are excesses and it can veer into violence. It should not veer into any semitism. Its certainly should not be into antiamerican doesnt mean hes trying to hold what authors lesson juror ones called the vital center on this issue. And as i said, i actually think on the issue of protest itself, he is probably in a pretty Safe Position politically the problem is affirming that position is just kind of salt in the wound for those Younger Voters who are alienated on him about the war, ultimately, i think has policy toward the war is the real issue here. And the question of whether he can repair the breaches in the Democratic Coalition over that, i think is in the Long Run Gonna be more important. Then kind of finding a relatively defensible centrist position on the protests itself, right . Because weve seen this issue drives such a wedge into the Democratic Party i mean, you make a solid point which is in the end, he just needs to make sure that the Democratic Party can come back together. Yeah. Look you know, it is a big week, jessica, earlier this year as a reflection of that Discontent Group of roughly 20 Democratic Senators pressured biden into agreeing to release a report by may 8th. Thats this wednesday on. Whether israel is in fact using us weapons in accordance with International Law which Amnesty International just said they are not. And whether israel is cooperating with the provision of international aid. When cindy mccain, who is now the head of the world, Food Organization at the un, says famine is spreading in northern gaza. So he biden has been certainly more critical of netanyahu and the way they have conducted the war in rhetoric, hes been very reluctant to impose any real consequences. Theres a lot of unease in the Democratic Coalition under the hood about that he is trying to walk a tight rope between his own instincts, which were formed really 50 years ago oh, to kind of Reflexively Support Israel and the growing criticism within his coalition. And i think this is just another critical moment toward that longer issue, which as i said, i think is a bigger question than how he orients visavis the protests is what he does on the policy itself, how he handles the war itself, and whether he can heal any of them the breaches in the party, which i think are only going to increase the longer this goes on. Right. And this is theyre trying to get a deal. The vitamin is ration working very hard to try to get a deal in cairo between israel and hamas for that very reason. Ron brownstein, thanks so much, great to see you thanks for having me. So ahead.

How would really happen tonight at nine on cnn south dakota governor kristi now once considered a Top Potential Running Mate for donald trump, is now defending herself after revealing in a new book why she shot and killed her 14 monthold dog, cricket noem said shes not retracting anything after facing backlash from both democrats and republicans. Today. She was also asked about her suggestion in the book that president bidens bite prone German Shepherd commander should meet the same fate as cricket the reason that the story is in the book because people need to understand who i am. And some of those difficult decisions, joe bidens dog has attacked 24 Secret Service peoples or how many people is enough people to be attacked and dangerously hurt. Before you make a decision on a dog joining me now is former republican congressman and 2020 president ial candidate joe walsh. Joe, good to have you here. Is this a case study in what not to do if you want to be considered for Vice President jessica good to be with you. Actually, it may be, but i also think its a case study in where my former Political Party is look, i served with kristi noem she wasnt this way, 8910 years ago every one of my former republican colleagues, jessica, has learned to be like trump, to be cruel to lie, to never, ever apologize, to never backed down she shes trying to be like trump if i shoot my dog, if i say that bidens dog should be shot thats a really tough, cruel thing to say, and thats what trump says. And thats what the Republican Voters want to hear. Theyve all sadly, all of my former colleagues, jessica, have learned from trump theyve all learn to imitate trump because trumps gotten away with it all these years this is just such an extreme version of that to talk about shooting animals and think that that gets you a stamp of approval youre exactly right. I think this is a look she went a step too far. This was kristi noem thinking, i can im going to thump my chest and im going to come across as a bad cruel person who shoots my dog and never backs down and never apologize for it. She went too far because even most republicans dont like and find repulsive. The notion of shooting your dog. I think she went too far for trump, but again, the lesson for every american listening to us right now is this cruelty does sell in the republican party. Kristi noem mightve gone a little bit too far, but the base loves cruelty and they loved and thats what trump feeds them. And she was also pressed about another bizarre passage in her book in which she falsely claimed that she met the north Korean Leader while she was in congress and she wrote, i remember when i met with north korean dictator kim jong un, im sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down a little tired tyrants i had been a childrens pastor after all and here she is talking more about it. This morning did you meet kim jong un as soon as this was brought to my attention . I certainly made some changes and looked at this this passage and ive met with many, many World Leaders traveled around the world. So you did not meet with kim jong un. Thats what youre saying yeah, ive met with many, many World Leaders, many World Leaders. Ive traveled around the world she just cant answer the question jessica how pathetic she couldnt say no she was asked twice. Did you meet with him . And she couldnt say no. Again, this makes me really sad because this is evidenced that all of my former colleagues have learned to very bad things from trump to lie she lied and republicans have learned ally like trump because again, trump gets away with it. But then jessica, when youre caught in a lie never, ever ever admit or acknowledged you lied. Never be ashamed about line i mean, thats what shes trying to do there. Shes following trumps playbook. Its really sad and so what happens because we do see people contorting themselves also on the issue of will you accept the Election Results in 2024 . Thats another one thats been very hard for some of these contenders for trumps Vice President ial to be his vice Vice President. Mike pence did everything he possibly could to do it, right. And then just wouldnt try to overturn an election or not certifying election and a mob was coming for him why do you think these these candidates, these potential candidates and elected officials . Want to do this jim scott jessica, my former colleague, was as six times today. If hed accept the results of the 2024 election six times he was asked and he wouldnt say it. Look, this is not this is not shooting your puppy. This is this is big stuff. Make no mistake trump is attacking our democracy. Hes doing now again what he didnt 2020, refusing to say hell accept the results of an election if he loses. Thats that is a direct trade attack on our democracy. But jessica, tim scott, and all the others are doing the same same thing my god, this is this is so scary and this is so wrong. And the country really needs to wake up to it because as you said, its not just trump now, its the whole party, right . Joe walsh for us. Thanks so much for joining us. Thanks. Jessica. Still ahead, crow. The struggle is real.

The government program, formerly known as food stamps. Ive been here seven years and this is definitely the most difficult time in that seven years to explain that, why is this most difficult time . Yeah. I think during the pandemic there was obviously a tremendous amount of need. You had pandemic era, free food coming from the federal government, unemployment benefits, moratorium on student loan payments, moratorium come on, housing payments. All of those things have gone away those pandemic benefits, which congress led expire, had pushed poverty to its lowest level on record since unemployment has gone down and things have improved.

Cnn this morning with kasie hunt, with david five eastern new details tonight from mexico were three Murder Victims are found in baja, california during the search for three missing surfers. An american, and two australians Officials Say the three victims they found had been shot in the head. Authorities in mexico have not yet confirmed whether they are the missing tourists. Officials say three mexican citizens have been arrested on allegations of kidnapping australia is under siege from Climate Change. The Great Barrier reef corals are literally being cooked by the Warming Water Aboveground Wildfires and floods are destroying homes and threatening native species like kangaroos and kuala for this weeks edition of the whole story, Cnn Senior International correspondent ivan watson embarks on a journey across australia, including out on a remote southern tip of the Great Barrier reef the next ones they got it. Got it. Yeah. Wow welcome. Thank you. That was incredible. My pilot is peter gash hes not just a pilot he basically owns the Island Leasing it from the Australian Government and running in eco resort here with his family we made it out. Lots would my wife and i married. I went and learned to fly airplanes so i could bring people here peter wasted no time taking me out to see the islands underwater. Menagerie wow, ive and wants and joining us now. I havent tell us more about peter in that island i mean, what a remarkable place, this tiny little island. I mean, its bisected by Our Grass Air Strip thats only about 600 meters long. It gives you a sense of how small it is. And peter and his family have helped reforested. It was a barren rock. It had been mined and it has been growing, so its kind of an environmental success story, except while we were there and snorkeling and coral reefs next to sea turtles and restarts, we saw signs of this very disturbing trend of Coral Bleaching where record high Ocean Temperatures were cooking and killing coral. And that was a trend that i saw on several other reefs along the Great Barrier reef, this sprawling marine habitat, the size of italy off the coast of australia and in the weeks after our visit in february, the height of the australian summer, the Australian Government announced that the Great Barrier reef was in fact suffering from a mass bleaching event not only affecting that area, but it has been worldwide over the course of the last year because of those record high temperatures with coral being bleached and killed in the caribbean off the coast of florida. All the way to australia. So Amazing Things to see underwater, but also very bittersweet recognizing that according to scientists predictions, these reefs will no longer exist by the time my daughter is an adult, she wont get to see the kind of things that i was so fortunate to see. Now that is sobering. You also went to Kangaroo Island or tens of thousands of kangaroos and koalas called the Nature Preserve home. There. But there have because their habitats have been destroyed. Im thinking back to those fires. I know you held a koala bear that had been burned in those fires thats true. Kangaroo island was one of the areas that was so horribly burned in these horrific forest fires or bushfires as theyre called in australia. In the black summer of 2020 half of the island burned down and people lost their lives two and homes were destroyed and the fires also raged across other big parts of australia. It also killed off more than half of the Koala Population on Kangaroo Island. I got to cuddle a koala koala named pearl. She was burned and scarred, survived those fires. And these forest fires and floods are being exacerbated by Climate Change. And thats part of our special all right.
