Sanjay gupta. And this is cnn its monday, may 6, right now on cnn this morning palestinians in Eastern Rafah order to evacuate ahead of what the Israeli Military says will be an antiterror operation donald trump returning to court for his Hush Money Trial after comparing the Biden Administration to nazi germany at a weekend fundraiser. And deadly flooding in tech it says hundreds rescue thousands more displaced and the rain may not be over yet all right. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington alive. Look at capitol hill on this Monday Morning good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Happy monday. Its wonderful to have you with us. This developing story right now, the Israeli Military ordering palestinians to evacuate Eastern Raffa with the idf dropping leaflets its on the area warning. Theyre about to engage in a Military Operation Targeting Terror Organizations in the area source on the ground in east rafah, telling cnn that people are terrified. And in a state of panic following the evacuation order, there are 1. 2 million displaced palestinians sheltering in and around the city of rafah but the idf says this is a limited scale operation in just the eastern part of the city, joining me now is cnns Nic Robertson, nick, good morning to you. What do we know about this so far . Yeah, the idf is telling people from about 12 blocks and Eastern Raffa that they need to leave, they need to go to an expanded safe zone, which is closer to the mediterranean sea. The almuwasi refugee camp. The idf says, ive expanded this up to the north towards Deir Al Balah and two wards, the east as well in khan younis, these are towns, cities rather that the idf has already had major operations and so hes telling us its telling would un estimates to be about 100,000 Palestinian Civilians living in that eastern part of uh, raffa to evacuate a move to this safer area, its not clear how long they have or when this Military Operation will begin. But the idf is telling them in these leaflets, in these announcements that they need to move immediately. You when officials talking about this to cnn in the past our also say that the area that the people are being evacuated to just not have sufficient to water does not have sufficient food at least one of the border crossings in the south was closed sunday when hamas fired rockets at an idf position just over the border inside of israel, three idf soldiers were killed in that the Israeli Foreign Ministers Office has just put out a statement saying, well, from the Foreign Minister saying that the fact that hamas fired rockets yesterday from the area of raffa isnt indication that they serious about ceasefire talks. This does have all the hallmarks of a Major Military operation that weve seen in the past, even when the ids it says it begins small. And these safe areas for civilians are often not safe. People have died in them before all right. Are Nic Robertson for us this morning with our breaking nick, thanks very much. I really appreciate it and just in just a few hours, donald trump returns to court for the fourth week of his criminal Hush Money Trial. That will be Digging Deeper into trump world, but its still unclear whos gonna be telling as defying next, it could be trumps former fixer, Michael Cohen, although we could also see him later, could be former adviser Kellyanne Conway or is it adult film star Stormy Daniels, who of course is the one at the heart of all of this after she received cash to keep quiet about her liaison with trump ahead of the 26th teen election. Over the weekend, the Republican National Committee Held its annual retreat in palm beach. And according to three attendees at a maralago fundraiser, trump was raging, accusing the Biden Administration of running what he called. It gestapo administration, recalling the nazis and claiming that the president is behind the four criminal trials that he is currently facing. Joining me now is National Political reporter from the hill, julia manchester. Julia good morning to you this is some difficult language that the president is using here, heres how the white house responded, quote, instead of echoing the appalling rhetoric of fascists lunging with neonazis and Fanning Debunks Conspiracy Theories that have caused spray Police Officers their lives. President biden is bringing the American People together around shared Democratic Values and the rule of law. Theyre point is, he has, donald trump has had lunch with neonazis, with nick fuentes what is your view of . Him using this language in especially as his trial is playing out well, its not the first time hes used language like this. We know that donald trump has invoked nazi imagery in the past, making those comparisons look, this is very much red meat, two who is base whose at a fundraiser really trying to get them riled up. But i think it also reflects a frustration right now that donald trump is facing you. He has been campaigning, but at the same time for the most part, he is stuck in a courtroom in New York City, and hes not able to essentially talk about the trial as much because of that gag order. So i think youre seeing this frustration really play out at fundraisers on the campaign trail. But at the end under the day, this is redmeat first base yes i mean, i feel like it kinda makes a bigger statement about where we are as a country. I mean, it used to be that i mean, what was the joke when the internet was first invented, right . If youre talking about hitler, you are definitely losing. The thread has been totally lost. I mean it, it does even this was also what james singer, the Biden Campaign spokesman, said, quoted underscores what we already knew that Trump Campaign is about him, his fury his revenge, his lies, and his retribution you mentioned his base, but for the general electorate, for the independence and the few swing voters, its still exists in this country. They do exist and they are ultimately going to side the election does this what does this do for those voters . I dont think it does much for that. Those voters and thats what the Trump Campaign as to really keep an eye on when he goes and campaigns when hes talking about he needs to make sure hes talking about those Kitchen Table issues, like the economy crime, the situation at the southern border, and he has been doing that a little bit at even the trial before. Hell go in and rachel the economy, for example, even though its not related to what hes directly doing. But this is going to be i think a task for them to keep him on message. But at the same time, one would argue that donald trump trumps main bombastic remarks like this in the past and even though it will get criticism from his critics and others, he still, for whatever reason has been able to survive that the other gem of a set of remarks over the weekend came from kristi noem, south dakota governor because of course, the other sort of concurrent of stories swirling vip stakes, Donald Trumps viv stakes. She seems to have pretty much taken herself out of the running with what she had to say in her book about shooting her own dog. She went farther in an interview this weekend in saying that she thinks that commander President Bidens dog, who has had a number of biting incidents with secret Service Agents should meet a similar fate as cricket, her dog. Heres what kristi noem said. 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 and hes not living at the white house. Thats the question that the president should be held account not able to your saying you should be president should be accountable chairs. What is what is the number this whole story just makes me deeply sad. Yeah. Forget, yeah. What but it does seem clear to me based on that interview that she does really believe this. She doesnt seem to why does why is she not walking things . Why is she not walking this . But its been so fascinating because shes found this Publicity Tour promoting her book and shes had so many operators trinities to walk this back, but she continues to de herself deeper and deeper into this hole to conventional wisdom sort of states that shes out of the running for vp, but for whatever reason, shes continued im going to do this. I dont know if she thinks this is something that donald trump are those around donald trump would maybe commend, but one thing i know is that americans love dogs. Everyone loves dogs. So this, i mean, does no favors for her. Im sort of flabbergasted why were here to be honest. Yeah. All right. Julie manchester for us. Thanks for getting us started. Hurdle moment. In this israel. I appreciate it. All right.

Im Katie Bo Lillis in washington and this is cnn the Israeli Military ordering palestinians to evacuate Eastern Raffa ahead of what it describes as an antiterror operation in the area. This comes as the Biden Administration recently paused a shipment of americanmade ammunition that was going to israel. Its unclear why the administration held the shipment, but a source tells cnn it wont affect any future shipments to israel, and that its unrelated to israels unexpected expected excuse me fullscale incursion into rafah a move that President Biden has vocally opposed would is your red line with Prime Minister netanyahu. Do you have a red line, for instance . Would invasion of rafah, would you have urged him not to do would that be a red line . Whose red light but im never going to leave israel last month, biden signed a foreign aid bill that included 15 billion in Israeli Military aid. Joining me out. Cnns max foster. Max. Good morning. Always wonderful to see you. This news of this hold on. The shipment has it has really rippled through washington over the weekend what is your view of the significance of this . I honestly was a little bit surprised when i saw the report. It does seem to be coming from the israelis and of course it comes amid this news now that were hearing this morning that israel is warning some people who live in rafah to evacuate you would presume its leaks, wouldnt you . The fact that President Biden, americas express concern about a radon raffa when there are so many civilians there. And that is combined with the fact they filled aid is being allowed into gaza by the israelis. So could be a suggestion that you need to hold off on raffa whilst you sought out this pressure on civilian malnourishment suffering but all of this is also tied up with this effort to get to some sort of deal as well. I mean, is israel actually going to go into rapper or is it posturing . Yeah. Max, the other piece of news we heard over the weekend from the israelis was this question about aljazeera and their ability to operate in israel. There were throwing them out of the Country Rating their offices. There was a statement from the un talking about a free and independent media saying its central to ensuring transparency and accountability. Now, even more so given tight restrictions on reporting from gaza, what is the reaction been to the israeli decision to do this . John is in group saying it has to be overturned as soon as possible for similar arguments, its important that country has a free press, particularly in war time. There is a long history of tension between israel and Al Jazeera Al jazeera seen as aunty israeli in some quarters of israel, now is being seen as pro hamas. In some quarters of israel but a lot of defenders in International Journalism say they have been impartial. What they have had is reported on the ground in gaza when many other News Organizations havent had them and of course thats tied with the fact that International News agencies arent being allowed into gaza by israel. So its whatever perspective you take, but on the face of it, it does seem alarming that a wellrespected International Network has been ousted from the israeli media. Just on tv. I think as i understand it, because youll still be able lets get it through facebook for example all right. Max foster for us live from london. Max, thanks very much.

Its wonderful to have you with us Donald Trumps Hush Money Trial about to resume in New York City on friday with trumps 2016 Campaign Press secretary and White House Communications director hope hicks took the stand through her Testimony Prosecutors showed jurors the transcript of the infamous access Hollywood Tape that almost upended trumps run for the white house before crossexamination, hicks started to cry and appeared to become overwhelmed she finished her testimony after a brief break after court on friday, trump tried to clear up the lie that he had told the day before, which was that his gag order prohibited prohibited him from testifying in the trial. Just to the ganglion is not testify the gag order stops me from talking about people in responding when they say things about me, when people saying things about me, im glad to respond. So theres judge has taken away my constitutional right all right. Join me now to discuss this form of january 6 investigative counsel marked as children marcus. Good morning. Thanks so much for being here. So this was pretty remarkable. Its kind of walk through friday quickly before we look ahead to what were going to see this week because for anyone that is just tuning in after after the weekend, she started to cry fry at the start of crossexaminati on, but it seemed to be related to the end of her testimony when the prosecutors were questioning her and how she had characterized at what donald trump was focused on talking about and doing in this time what did, what did she say there and how do you think her testimony is going to potentially impact the case . From the very beginning of prosecutors have said this is about the conspiracy to influence the election. And in a cover up. And i think by the end of her testimony, hope hicks know the she had provided evidence consistent about influencing the 2016 election if you go to the piece where she ended, it was actually about why out of New York Times posted the article, but Michael Cohen im paying the Hush Money Payments to Stormy Daniels and hope hicks said that the former president s said that Michael Cohen was doing it to look out for him to protect the president. And we know that Michael Cohen went to pay them on a monday without the former president telling him to do so. And so she kind of almost show that he was lying to her in that moment. And im sure she became overwhelmed thats her former boss, someone that gave us our start in this industry. And so she probably at that at that moment, i realized that she was providing evidence about the conspiracy and also about the fact that the president , former president is not necessarily someone who tells the truth all the time really before. But yeah, no, youre right. I mean its its hard to overstate. Yes, she was his boss, but how close that they actually were. I mean, you couldnt cover donald trump in 2015 and 16 without seeing and speaking with and she was there for s1 to a subpoena. Right . She wasnt there on our own freewill, so im sure there was a lot of emotions going on at that moment. So lets talk about what happens next here, because were looking ahead to see who the prosecutors may put on the stand next it could be Michael Cohen, although it also sounds like its possible hell be the final witness in the trial that well have to see. But Stormy Daniels still has yet to take the stand. I mean, what do you expect . The next move to b from the prosecutors and why . I think itll be a Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen kinda combo that comes up soon. I dont think Michael Cohen will be last because you dont i want to end on someone whos going to bruise the way hes gonna get bruised on crossexamination. So i think were going to have Stormy Daniels, karen mcdougal, maybe someone inside the campaign and Michael Cohen talk about the fear see as well as start to Start Talking about the cover up. The fraudulent business records. And then i think well see at the end some from the Trump Organization are probably financial folks who can talk about how the records were made fraudulent or how they were falsified. But i dont think were going to end on my local him because he is going to take a bruising and his crossexamination. But he can corroborate a lot of what david pecker, keith davidson, others have already said so its kind of in a good place for him to testify soon because weve already heard a lot of the facts is going to talk about so lets talk then about what Stormy Daniels could offer on the stand. I mean, she obviously was fully understands from her perspective what happened between her and donald trump, how things played out with keith davidson, her bowyer how do you expect them to approach her and whats if youre if youre the defense if youre crossexamining Stormy Daniels, where are you pushing her . So i think what she shows is what she understood the contract or the hush money to be about, was it about . Embarrassing donald trump, a family man, or stopping the story from coming out before the election and she can talk about what hurt, maybe not what our attorney told you. Thats attorneyclient privilege, but im sure she can talk about what she thought that this contract was about. Look, if im the defense, im going to talk about im gonna push her on look, it would have been embarrassing for his family to find out about an affair. It would have been embarrassing for millennia for baron. Yeah. I think you just make it all about trump, a family man get her to admit that. Yeah, that wouldve been embarrassing for him to have these facts come out, but really and truly, the defense is kinda been tough on their on their crossexaminatio ns here because its pretty overwhelming evidence that this was about the election, about having these stories not come out after the access Hollywood Tape, which is why the testimony from friday and planning and that tape live was so damning for the Trump Defense because there was a panic within the campaign after the access Hollywood Tapes. And they did not want the Stormy Daniels story come out through that. And so its kinda hard crossexamine someone on that fact the other thing were waiting for is the gag order and when donald trump had said earlier, he said last week that the gag order was preventing him from testifying in the trial at all, which was not true. So there has been this question looming over like whether donald trump is going to take the stand in his own defense. We just want to show you heres the evolution of what hes had to say about that. Watch i would have no problem testified. I didnt do anything wrong. Im testifying. I tell the truth. I mean, all i can do is tell the truth and the truth is that theres no case they have no case. If its necessary, right now. I dont know if you heard about today today, was just incredible. People are saying the experts, im talking about legal scholars and experts. They say, what kind of a cases is there is no case. Well, im not allowed to testify. Im under a gag i can testify of course then he went on to say what we showed at the top, which is that its not its not actually about the gag order. You will testify or not. Hes not going to testify. Hes i mean, i guess theres you can never say never. I highly doubt it though. It would be a crossexamination that a prosecutor would dream of. The former president were to take the stand and i say that not being sarcastic, its just that he has met so many public statements. He he has made so many tweets that youre able to just a cross examine what his State Of Mind was at the time that this conspiracy was going on after the conspiracy, his character for truthfulness. I mean, it could be days of crossexamination away that would be one of the more humiliating things for the former president. And so if i were the prosecution, i would try to bait him no way to try to testify. I would hope well, we would testify, but hes not testifying. All right. Market shoulders for us, marcus. Thank thank you. I really appreciate it. All right. Were gonna get another dramatic showdown on capitol hill this week, we expect one anyway, as georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene has vowed to force a floor vote to try to remove the House Speaker, mike johnson its a move that democrats say wont work because they plan to help johnson but green plans to forge ahead. She does not. We should note have the blessing of donald trump im the biggest supporter of President Trump and thats why i proudly wear this maga hat i fight for his agenda every single day, and thats why im fighting here against my own republican conference to fight harder against the democrats. All right, joining me now is capitol Hill Reporter from axios julia grace at braf key july grace. Good morning. To you. Thanks so much for being here. So why is she doing this . Shes arguing that his handling of appropriations of fisa of ukraine funding without border or her big reason. Sure. I mean, theres all officially plenty of policy reasons, but this is like a National Stage political play. Whats in it . I mean, theres gotta be something in it for her. Theres just also a strong ally of kevin mccarthy. So i think theres still some allegiance there, but i mean, i think shes definitely got some round thats from her entire conference right now. Either theres a ton of people pushing back, including people within trump world who kind of feel like this is going to hinder their chances of picking up seats and could hurt him up the valid just hes got his trial going on. Theres enough chaos weve seen. I mean, like an unprecedented amount of chaos in this congress. Its been, its been a wild ride those far and theyre kind of trying to look to project that they can legislate before november, which another motion to vacate and democrats will bail him out this time. But i mean, theres people who are saying if she keeps bringing these up, that they want concessions out of republicans and they want their bills on the floor. So how long they keep saving him as kind of a lingering question there, which is kind of a predicament. Yeah, for sure. And the trump but let me dig into the triple question then i want to play a little bit of Hakeem Jeffries, but you say that there are people in trump world who dont want her to do this. What is your reporting say about other trump allies on the hill and how theyre pressuring her. No. I mean, ive spoken to matt gaetz and he said that he timed his motion to vacate, not in an election year. It you speak to the right Presley Eighth voted to oust mccarthy. Theyre and theyre kind of in the same boat with the timing. There arent a ton of legislative priorities. Theyre going to need to fund the government. But outside of whats likely going to be a cr, theres not a ton of major things left for them to do. Where they just want to bring the fight to next year and try and figure out whether or not they keep him in place, which a lot of them are saying they dont want to pick a new candidates, challenge him for leader or right . So heres how Hakeem Jeffries has defended his decision are explained his decision around his conference agreeing to help get speaker johnson out of this jam watch in our view, what traditionally be let the other side work its own mess out but when that mess starts to impact the ability to do the job on behalf of the American People in a responsible thing at that moment might be for us to make clear that we will not allow the extremist that though the congress in the country into chaos i mean, it isnt unusual decision for a party for the democrats to decide, okay, fine. Were going to save the republicans from their own mess. Set that ive spoken to people in that orbit and they trust him more than they trust and mccarthy and they agreed with this decision to bring you Crane Funding to the floor. So right now, they feel like they kind of have a good Working Relationship with them despite maybe not disagree a disagreeing with a large portion of this policy decisions. Now if they bail him out, ive talked to a lot of republicans sleep kind of feel like they lose some leverage in future negotiations, including appropriations. So its kinda some ive talked to a lot of people to kinda feel like the Freedom Caucus members, they were pushing back against some are kind of undermining themselves and they really need rule changes next year to avoid some of this chaos.

Its on saturday at the big house before they were removed by police, the demonstration remained peaceful, but of course, the fear of escalating disruptions continues to dog universities as commencement season gets underway after weeks of intense and sometimes violent clashes on College Campuses joining me now, is michigans democratic congresswoman, debbie tingle congresswoman. Thank you so much for being here this seems like a very brief thing that happened at the university of michigan. It was handled in a pretty straight forward manner. But this is is of course something that i know you have been very personally involved with talking about in your home state as it is an incredibly emotional issue, what is your view . You have . How colleges have the job that they have been doing handling this at places like columbia and ucla i think its extremely difficult for every College Campus and the Effect Emitter i talked to everybody a talk to the jewish students. Ive talked to the propalestinian students and a pay a lot attention to the people that are coming in from the outside trying disturb people i think it i think many people feel like theres nothing that youre going to do thats going to be right Freedom Of Speech does matter when does Freedom Of Speech crossed the line . What do we do about the hate that we are seeing . Just encouraged by people from the outside im opposed to antisemitism. I am opposed to islamophobia. Jewish students are scared on some campuses arab american Muslim Students are scared. Theyre both experiencing it. I think i know what michigan there are a whole lot of people in all of the communities, Jewish Community there, american affinity trying to keep it calm. Let the kids be heard. There are a lot of questions weve got to start to deal with too when does Freedom Of Speech matters in this country . Thinks that you and i took for granted when we were in school all those liberties are at risk right now. But when does it cross the line when does language i believe in protecting Freedom Of Speech, theres some really awful phrases that intimidate people. How do we have the discussion . But just a Calm Discussion . When said okay. And when is it not . Okay yeah. Youre democratic colleague in congress, the senator John Fetterman has been particularly vocal in his kind of proisrael, a comment and he framed it. This way at late last week. Watch what he had to say if you want to play with that fire, you better own you better own that fire like nader, like, hey, congratulations dude, if you are willing to watch go away or to actually vote for someone else, you are going to throw your vote away and you are on the trump train. And you better watch out for back where its talking to democratic voters who would otherwise support President Biden, except for this issue in his, is he right im going to take the fetterman style right now. Im talking to a lot people what im hoping is, you know, i bet with some of my black ministers, ive met with a lot as a faithbased groups. We need to have a lot of discussions. There are a lot of raw feelings and i mean raw feelings. I do talk to everybody. I dont sleep at night. The jewish communities hurting they here age, i mean, last sunday night, there was a parade through Downtown An Arbor and i had members of the Jewish Community on the phone crying, telling me these people wanted to kill him. I was on with leaders of the American Community and they say that word doesnt mean that to me. I talked to people for six months about who are you going to vote for . Im not going to play it out on tv. Im going to have real conversations with members of the community and we have to do it that way. So we understand what the consequences are in november. Well, and the proof that you dont sleep at night also in the fact that youre here at this hour after taking a late flight home, which were very grateful for. Lets i want to turn to donald trump and his search for Vice President has been a very underwhelmed, very well underway, but it does tie into this Bigger Picture question about the acceptance of Election Results and tim scott, the senator from south carolina, who is on the vp shortlist that was pressed repeatedly over the weekend about whether he would accept the results of the 2024 election. Its becoming something of a litmus test for these potential p nominees. Here was senator scott placenta. Will you commit accepting the Election Results of 2024 . Bottom line at the end of the day the 47th president United States volvo, donald trump. And im excited to get back to low inflation, low unemployment senator, yes or no . Yes or no will you accept the Election Results of 2024, no matter who wins . That is my statement so senator scott saying this as of course, donald trump himself giving interviews, not saying that there will or excuse me, saying that there will not be Political Violence if the election is fair, right . And he has said that he is confident he will win. He says in response to these Political Violence questions, well, if i went and its all fair, there will not be any political bias i once its raising the specter of that possibility if in fact biden wins the election and trump does not accept it. What do you think the country is in store for . Im very worried about this selection ive come from a time that we had confidence in. We need to have confidence in our government institutions. And we really look, ive worked for al gore, i chaired his campaign. I remember that election, but we accepted the Election Results in the consequences that went with it. We now have Republican Leaders saying, hey, we dont win, were not going to accept it. What we saw in january 6 could just be a precursor to things that we could see around the country to remind people when i said people dont belong at the State Capitol with assault one weapons, which they werent michigan prior to january 6. I had min outside my home and street. So there were no private property with assault weapons. We need to worry about kind of authoritarian government that this country could be looking for if people are not willing to say, i trust the institutions, i believe it will be enough lets direction. All right. Congresswoman, were going to see you again at the top of the hour. Thanks so much for being here all right.
