At up to 70 are shop guilt. Com today its wednesday, may 8, right now on cnn this mornings Stormy Daniels on the stand with lurid details about her alleged alleged sexual encounter with donald trump, the fallout ahead, plus the Biden Administration pausing a shipment of bombs to israel last week and a State Of Emergency in parts of michigan, tornado is flattening homes, collapsing buildings. And weve been people trapped all right 5 00 a. M. Here in washington continue to live. Look at the Statue Of Liberty in New York City where all that, when telling yesterday, good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us and a day off from this trial. Today is a day off, maybe just what Everyone Needs after a drop, dropping day yesterday of testimony in the donald trump Criminal Hush, money trial. Stormy daniels took the stand and she had salacious details about her alleged encounter with trump in 2006 the former president was cursing and shaking his head during the testimony. We know this from the transcript, judge1 or sean told trumps attorneys but he wouldnt tolerate the former president s behavior trumps lawyers later argued the judge should declare a mistrial in the wake of daniels testimony in merchan deny that motion trump didnt acknowledge daniels testimony after court wrapped up for the day this was a very big day a very revealing a, as you see, cases totally falling apart. They have nothing on the books and records and even something that should bear very little relationship with the case just disaster for the idea that resource back to disaster all right, turning now to discuss this stuff, Chi Qi Is Politics reporter for axial stef. Good morning. Thank you so much for being here that Trust Testimony yesterday what there, right . I mean, it went to places that the judge basically said, hey, youve gone too far. Here. Are the judge asking for fewer details we were not treated to fewer details. We were treated too many details, including some new ones about this alleged encounter between trump and Stormy Daniels. And then we learn this very interesting texture from the transcript where the judge said he could hear Trump Cursing under his breath shaking his head. The judge says this is contemptuous it could impact the jury. What does that say to you about the impact of the testimony yesterday . I mean, it was such a remarkable moment. Of course, weve heard the story from Stormy Daniels hills and multiple ways through her book, weve heard the story, but to have her saying this in court with trump sitting right there is just such a remarkable moment for american political history right now. And i mean, it clearly got out of hand according to the judges own reactions, the judge had to tell stormy he daniels two. Okay. Maybe not go into quite so much detail. We dont really need to go there. And then at the same time also telling trap, okay, if you cant be cursing under your breath and just goes to show how salacious of a allegation this is how, you know, how much trump is annoyed by this being pulled up. Once again and i mean, this is just another insane moment in this political news cycle. Yeah lets definitely one, one way to put it on crossexamination the defense team, trumps defense team . Seems intent on undermining daniels by casting her as someone who was out to get trump essentially. And they also got her to admit that she hates President Trump. They said to her, and you do hate President Trump . Correct. And she said yes to that, what impact do you think that has . I mean, this is certainly their tactic here. They want to show Something Else as you know, selfinterested that this is something she was doing to make money on. And also that she has maybe politically motivated. They want to show it as a personal antagonism towards trump versus youre dealing with with her actual allegations versus dealing with the evidence that weve seen at this point of Hush Money Payments and trumps involvement there. And that is something we often see from trumps attorneys. Youre going to attack the credibility of the witness. And so we saw that yesterday for sure. So steph, what is the sort of next next turn at here in this trial especially as i mean, we know that the daniels is gonna be back up on the stand for crossexamination and then we still have yet to hear from Michael Cohen trump is trying to strike this off and public right i mean, hes trying to say okay, ive all these grievances, im being kept off the Campaign Trail, but hes continuing to deny happen with Stormy Daniels and basically call the whole thing. Not not real there is this looming question about whether this is going to impact voters at all. I mean, what is your sense in talking to voters and members of congress and others about where we stand with that right now. Yeah. I mean, most people i talk to say that a lot of the impact is already baked in when you look at the pole what was most of Trump Supporters are going to remain Trump Supporters. Most bidens support is gonna remain biden supporters. And its unlikely at least at this stage, for these cases to really impact that. Of course, if this comes to a conviction, there have been some polls indicate that could sway some small numbers of voters against trump at, the end of the day we are looking at a very small number of voters who are going to decide selection come november, were looking at less than 10 of voters in what, six states. So whether we see this impact on the margins actually have an impact in november, we could see that potentially happen, but by enlarge, were not seeing this move the pole goals in any significant way, at least so far. And especially with this case, many votes weve seen in pauls view, this case has less significant than some of the other cases against trump. Yeah, of course when my big question is, i mean, we we learned from the judge that this is all obviously seems to be under trump skin. Im kinda wondering, lets take a look at how late night treated this last night historic day in the annals of american law, because this morning, Stormy Daniels took the stand and do what she does best and thats Bank Donald Trump stormy testify for three hours and 44 minutes today or testimony got off to an awkward start. The bailiffs were in on a holdup. Forbes magazine, Adult Film StarStormy Daniels testified today and former President Trumps Criminal Hush money trial. So trump technically slept with her again so we do know that being made fun of is not something trump likes what kind of impact does that have on him . I mean, we certainly know that the trump trump team is annoyed by this. I think we can suspect that the former president is not happy with the way, you know, being made fun of to your point, its something we know that he does not enjoy he never has and he certainly doesnt run right now. And even the fact that in the courtroom, he was already visibly upset. Its very unlikely this is going down. Well, its defcon for us. Thank you, steph. I really appreciate it. All right.

Im live in paris and washington. And this is cnn welcome back. A us official says the Biden Administration held back a shipment of bombs to israel last week, concerned about the impact those bombs could have in a densely populated area like raffa israels military now controls the gaza sayyed of the Raffa Crossing after a series of airstrikes ground operation on tuesday. As negotiators from israel and hamas meet in egypt to negotiate a Hostage Release and ceasefire deal. And while cia bill burns travels to tel aviv to meet with israel, israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. Today to start them off. Seizing the passage and raffa today is a very important steps. Ill push an important step in the way to destroying the remaining military capabilities of hamas including the elimination of for Terrorists Battalions in raffa all right, cnn is max foster is with us now live from london. Max, good morning. This is a pretty significant at revelation from the us they withheld a total of 3,500 bombs. And again, these are two ton bombs that they were concerned about being dropped on raffa. Weve also seen a Public Campaign in the uk from people trying to convince the uk government to withhold weapons like this. What signal does this send one, it sends a very clear signal that theyre uncomfortable with the operations go into raffa, though we dont know what that operation exactly is, how widespread it is isnt how many civilians might be affected . Thats the fundamental concern of the us gauze its very hard to protect civilians when its so densely populated. Theres a military operation, but i dont think its much more than a signal because israel is pretty well armed already. It can probably kerrey out an operation without these mr. Arms, but its a very clear message that is main amara, the us is uncomfortable with the situation and it may threaten future future operations if they continue to withhold these sorts of arms and max, lets dig into where Ceasefire Talks stand at this point, because there had been a sense that they might have been on the wrong track and then weve seen some developments over the course of the last 72 hours or so that have really called into question whether thats going, to be possible. We kind of walked through where the players are today in terms of trying to get there. What do you think are the main hurdles and whats the outlook for the next 24 hours . Well, the questions being asked now really about the mediators and whether or not the you know, theyre matching up the hamas wants and what israel wants at the same time, because there was massive signed up to an agreement. Israel said its not the agreement that they initially had presented. This fundamental issue really about all long any sort of cease would last. Hamas once it going into the future, israel says it cant commit to that until theyve destroyed her mass. And in the background is whats happening in rap so whilst that continues, its very difficult to see how an agreement can be reached because it would mean an immediate end to that fighting and thats not something that israel appears keen to do. Whats your sense of how netanyahu is reacting in the wake of the pause of the Weapons Shipment and the continual, continuing pressure on him from the Biden Ministration not to go into rafah want as long as he can prosecute this war, presumably his strategy can play out to destroy her mass, which she obviously thinks is present in a raffa its very difficult to lose support, public support, your mega hey, in backer, but his priority is keeping the war cabinet together and satisfying a key constituent, which is the far right, which thinks hes not going hard enough into raffa managing to juggle it for now because hes got enough arms, but its not good for the optics. If you had doesnt have that support from the us, although biden will always say hes always there for israel. So that fundamental support is there. And presumably hes painting this internally as a difference of opinion about the current strategy, but not a fundamental break and the relationship all right. Max foster for us live in london.

Again, that video coming from pottage, michigan can see that fedex building behind there is that tornado cant kind of came through that area korea, but it was one of several. In fact, we still have that main line, the same line that caused that tornado and several others still ongoing. The good news is most of the system itself has weakened a little bit. Youve still got some strong thunderstorms lots of lightening, essentially stretching all the way from Upstate New York back into arkansas. You can see that southern edge of the line thats where we still have the potential for some tornado. So you still have that tornado watch that red color, you see there in effect. But we are likely to continue to see additional tornado watches start to get posted later on today. Now, just in the last 48 hours, 47 total tornado reports 286 damaging when reports at 138 reports of hail, the focus for today is going to be this wide swath here again, you can see its a very large area, but the target point really extends from nashville back into areas of missouri.

Im placing hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us. A Major Development and Donald Trumps classified documents case the trial has been postponed indefinitely. The judge, Aileen Cannon Canceling The May trial date yesterday, citing issues with classified evidence the delay makes it unlikely the trial will start before the november election. There are still multiple disputes that the judge has to decide before the case can be heard by a jury. Judge cannon confirming that it will take until at least weight july former Trump White House attorney ty cobb weighing in last night this is dirac, this is clear. All shes really done today though is make official what everybody including jack smith already knew, which was she had no intention of getting this case to trial, and she wasnt competent to get this case to trial. There are no trial dates currently set for the three other criminal cases that trump is facing during now, former january 6 investigative council, marcus childrens marcus good morning to you. Thanks for being here. This, judge, has repeatedly delayed things here when she says theres a whole bunch of stuff on the docket that shes got it that has to be dealt with before this trial can start. Its actually on her to make those decisions now. Thats the point she claimed theres a logjam and the log jams because she hasnt made rulings and for a lot of these motions that are still outstanding these are motions that typically judges just rule on from the bench, but shes Still Holding hearings, for example, holding a hearing on vindictive Prosecution Motion that the defense filed. Vindictive Prosecution Filings or i want to say common are the norm, but its something that you see and High Profile Type cases and lots of times, judges just rural from the bench on it think she wants to have a hearing on that. Once they have a hearing on the classified documents and whats plans to be admitted and trial. Shes seen on a classified documents, so she should be in a good position to rule on these types of motions, but still has not. So i think what ty cobbs said yesterday is spot on. I think a lot of jurists saw this moving towards not going to trial before the election and she pretty much just kinda confirmed that with her with her decision yesterday yeah. So this is what our Steven Collins wrote about this. He says, quote, cannons, move comes with trumps to Election Interference Cases, both of which are becomes swamped by his pretrial delay tactics and folsom appeals also unlikely to go on trial before voters make their fateful choice in november. So while the hush money case, which of course has been unfolding, widely regarded as the weakest of the bunch facing trump its likely the only one that could create the never before seen scenario of a convicted felon asking voters to elect him president now of course, stevens talking about what we saw yesterday, he said that makes the testimony of daniels even more critical. Do you expect this is the only criminal trial that were going to see trump go through until the election. I think what this delay and classified documents de do is that it frees up the calendar for judge chutkan Election Interference Case in dc so depending on the Supreme Court rules, of course, maybe push faster. I think shes previously said that approximately 80 days until Supreme Court returns back to the lower court is when she plans to go to trial. Of course, we have no idea what the Supreme Court is going to say on the immunity for the president and whether the needs to be more hearings on remand. But i think it does free up the calendar, but it is looking more challenging. Well see another trial, at least criminal trial before the election period this year. I mean, if we expect Supreme Court to rule in late june, early july 80 days past that. I mean, isnt that the height of the number october, yes. But judge chutkan set and maybe this maybe this is Wishful Thinking on her part, which she has shes not going to consider the political calendar or the election when scheduling her trial, just like other defendants before record have jobs as well. Of course, well see how that actually plays out when it returns to the lower court, but thats what she said and i do expect you to stay true to her award of at least pushing to try to get to trial. Your regardless of the election schedule so im mark as me ask you about Stormy Daniels yesterday, which is always keep a straight Face Covering it was not always easy, but there was something we learn from the transcript last night, which is that the judge in the case called trumps leuser up to the bank inch and he said that he could audibly hear Trump Swearing under his breath shaking his head, and he said, you need to stop him from doing that because its it comes across as contemptuous. It could intimidate the witness, and it could impact the jury what was your take about trump behaving that way and how it potentially influences the case. Well, it shows me that the court is worried about keeping control the courtroom by doing that i dont. Know how well will actually play out. In fact, in my experiences when defendants are acting that way the biggest risk is to the witness, and i dont believe that ms daniels would have been worried about how the former president was acting . I dont think it plays well for jerry personally, it almost adds merit to what the witness is saying on the stand. Assuming thats probably the way the jury was taking it, right. Is that hes not, please what shes saying because its damning. I was telling margaret backstage, like, look, every fact that said and trial is prejudicial right. And so if youre now reacting to it and shaking your head and acting a certain way. I wouldnt be surprised to the prosecution alludes to that and theyre Closing Argument to show how truthful and hard hitting that that testimony was marcus, stay with us when margaret tell before the they sat down, lets turn now to this watch ive trump made a big deal at the judge, not let him go to Barents High School graduation, even though the judge never said anything about not letting them go and actually is letting them go. Well, youre definitely going to believe this on the day baron is graduating and florida trump is headlining and event in minnesota i guess thats not going to make the post Graduation Brunch sorry. I had to go scream about windmills for two hours so trump actually house today off from his new york hush money trial is he campaigning . Know he is headed back tomorrow logo while biden is traveling to wisconsin and chicago trump complaining again yesterday about his courtroom schedule cramping his style in the meantime im stuck i mean, here, instead of being in georgia instead of being in new hampshire, instead of being wisconsin and all the different states that we wanted to be in all right. Joining our conversation, extra senior contributor margaret talla. Margaret. Good morning to you and i have you know, he could be on the Campaign Trail today, but hes not hes right. He couldnt have been yesterday had to be in court for that why. Not i mean, why wouldnt you take advantage of a wednesday to go out and do this when you did last week, what in a sense, he has been using this trial and all of his trials to do a different sort of campaign. But its not the kind where you hit the pavement and shake hands with voters. Youve ever met my colleague get x you, sophia i will be reporting today about the former presence plans to spend some of his day off with supporters at mara logo, who spent money on trump mug shot addition and ftes. So that is a form of campaigning yes, thats a very specific niche. Margaret, what was your kind of big picture take of what we saw . I mean, the New York Post is calling what happened yesterday, the full lewinski write a reference obviously to Monica Lewinsky and bill clinton i do think there is probably some questions to be asked about how this is going to be interpreted. But not just with the jury, but with the public. Right. I mean, were in an Election Year in 2024 globally where democracy is on the ballot, where autocracy is on the rise. Where are these really large global themes that that the us election plays a really important piece in. But were talking about an expresident whos running for reelection then his relationship to an Adult Film Star. So there is a highlow moment to the whole thing but i think theres a lot of discussion yesterday about whether Stormy Daniels could actually whether testimony could hurt trump could help trump on an appeal if he were to be convicted i think thats all slightly besides the point from a political perspective. I dont think anything about her testimony is helpful to the former president because it is just a reminder of the chaos and morality questions and honesty questions that sort of dogged him during the years of his presidency, its an unwelcome issue for him heading back onto the Campaign Trail. But i also think Stormy Daniels may not be the most important part of this case. She is a salacious part and its apart. Were all talking about, but this case is often is its often been said its Michael Cohen testimony is actually much more important and were gonna get back to that shortly yeah. Marcus, you mentioned kind of how trumps reaction may have made it seem as though it was damning, but we should, i do think also note that trump has denied that any of this ever happened. And on crossexamination, you started to see and its still ongoing. Its going to start back up again on thursday, you started to see the Defense Tactics around trying to Cast Out On Daniels including surfacing an admission from her getting her to admit that she hates trump how do you think that impacts it i mean, its not a great fact. It was a good i think it was a good jab at the defenses able to get out of Stormy Daniels. But its also not surprising, right . You have an individual that was engaged in allegedly a sexual righteous of the former president and her testimony is critical to showing why the Homework President , his intent to want a cover up that story after the Access Hollywood tape. So shes a critically important witness in terms of proving up the claims. I agree with margaret that Michael Collins me much more critical, but look, those are points that were scored, but i think the bigger point is that the prosecution was able to have Stormy Daniels testifying tuesday. The defense was not able to get through their cross. Now, the jurors are sitting for 36 hours, really just sitting on her mostly positive testimony for the prosecution without getting that full crossing so i wonder how that will play out the fact that theyre just sitting there at home replaying her testimony without the cross heading into thursday for a long period of time, do you think this is an important point that remember Stormy Daniels was not part of the 2016 story. There was another part of the 20th 16 story. They had to do with women and is former president s than candidates relationship with women. But this was not part of 2016 it is part of the 2024 campaign in the sort of details that came up regardless of what they do legally to some theoretical perspective, future appeal are certainly the details it would be very hard to know if if you never had any sort of contact with the person.

The Kerem Shalom Crossing had been closed to a delivery since sunday when a Rocket Attack nearby killed for Israeli Soldiers the Israeli Military captured the gaza inside of the rafah crossing on tuesday, a vital entry point for aid into the palestinian territory. And that crossing remains closed. The state Department Says they want both open as soon as possible. We want to see fully reopen. And so when i say it depends on what happens next. If karen shalom opens and raffa reopens, those will be important steps because we dont want to see humanitarian assistance limited or impeded in any way all right. Trying to me now to discuss this democratic congressman seth molten of Massachusetts Congressman. Thank you so much for being here and to be so you have been very critical of benjamin netanyahu, the israeli Prime Minister, and we have seen them make the initial incursion into raffa. It is not a fullscale invasion at this point but do you think what theyve done so far . How do you think it impacts . The future of the conflict . Well, first of all, i mean, israel has a right, even a responsibility to eliminate hamas. But the question is, is going into rafah actually going to really help . I mean, are actually going to be effectively able to eliminate hamas without drumming up more support for hamas. Like killing more innocent civilians . One of the lessons that we learned in iraq and afghanistan time and time again. If you cant succeed in a counterinsurgency fight like this, a fight where you fundamentally have to win the support of the population at the end of the day. If you kill too many innocent civilians, i dont see how israel goes into raffa and doesnt kill thousands then thousands of civilians, even if theyre able to take out a few of Moss Operatives we learned overnight that us official tells us that they did Pause A Shipment of two ton bombs to israel as all of this is looming, was that the right decision . I support president by this decision . Now when we were fighting again in iraq, for example, where we had a lot of allies. Allies on the ground that we were fighting shoulder to shoulder with allies from across the world that were part of our coalition. We regularly told them what to do and what not to do. And when they didnt listen to us, we withheld items. We said youre not allowed to do certain operations this was a common practice through 20 years of iraq and afghanistan. So for people to hold this out and say american never does this to our allies. And this is exceptional with israel is just not true very interesting what at this point do you think is the best way for President Biden to be addressing the deep descent and divides inside the Democratic Party around whats going on and gaza, obviously you give them speech on antisemitism yesterday, but it did take them a couple of days to call out Campus Protests. How do you think he has handled this well, i think hes being cautious and i understand that, but hes really got to get out there and listen. Youve got to listen to the descent, to the concern. I mean, were a country that values dissent, that encourages freedom demo speech. And that has to be the foundation here you start with that now, in some cases that Campus Protests are intimidating, theyre harassing jewish students. Ive heard from families who are concerned about the safety of their own kids at school in cases like that, the universities have a right, i would say even a responsibility to crack down on these campers, but lets start with Freedom Of Speech and engage with the concerns. So congressman, lets lets change gears and talk about politics for a second, which yesterday involved a split screen. Again, President Biden talking about antisemitism in marking Holocaust Remembrance Day and then Donald Trump On Trial in a courtroom where he was swearing under his breath as Stormy Daniels testified about, theyre encounter, how do you think voters are absorbing whats going on right now . Lets most voters i talked to you or trying to not absorb it all. Were so tired of hearing about trumps legal problems. I mean, this total what will escapade, its embarrassing for the country that a former president is on trial for his relationship with a porn star. And what he did to pay this person off by the way, if any of my colleagues are in Congress Paid off a porn star like that, wed be out in a heartbeat. So it is a serious case, dont dismiss the case, but americans are so so tired of this, frankly. Well, its not a porn star, but we do have had news of one of your colleagues engaged in something that caught the eyes of attention of Law Enforcement thats congressman cuellar, who has said he will not step down in the face of this. This is financial allegations and proprieties that relate to influence from other countries. Do you think congressmen cuellar a step down . Look, i think these are very serious allegations. Im not familiar with the details, but but he would probably be doing the right thing for the country if he if he did step down, but thats ultimately his decision right now. All right. Let me also ask you, speaking of shenanigans in the house of representatives, different kind Speaker Johnson has been meeting continuously with Marchal Retailer green to try to avoid a vote that would kick him out of his speakership. She has made a list of demands for him the question still remains whether or not shes going to do it. If she did go ahead with it, would you as a democrat, vote to keep johnson to keep the gavel and johnsons hand. The Quick Reaction is yes, just because we dont need more chaos in the house and frankly, the alternative to johnson would probably be worse but if this keeps going on, ill vote yes because of what he did to get the foreign aid vote. And i know he took a Political Risk with ukraine even though of course it was the right thing to do and just what he should have done from the very beginning as speaker. But if this happens again, hes going to have to make a deal with us. I mean, he has to be willing to negotiate. Hes one of the most conservative speakers in american history. Were not just going gonna give them a free pass. All right. Congressman seth mountaineering to stick around for the top of the show. Thank you very much for this. All right. Time now for sports, the thunder roll past the mavericks to stay unbeaten in the nba playoff. Andi shoals has this Mornings Police report. Andi good morning. Hey morning. Casey.
