Else. Experience, they have four years in office. They know what to do, they know how to do it, and they very clearly plan to implement on day one. Yeah, they certainly do you feel really appreciate it . Thank you and thanks to all of you for joining us tonight. Ac30 60 starts right now tonight on three 60. The preliminaries are over now what comes down to the fixer against the former president . How Michael Cohens testimony could seal Donald Trumps fate as a felon, or how his Credibility Problems could sink the states case. Also tonight, his sometimes less out of often controversial journey from enforcer to informer, the star witness for the prosecution was stops on cable news and federal prison along the way. Plus a true demonstration of solar power, how severe storms on the sun could wreak havoc here on earth, even as they bring the Northern Lights, as far south because alabama, good evening, everyone. John berman here. Infrared are sent and we begin with the Hush Money Trial and the prosecution witness whose testimony Stormy Daniels set the table for Michael Cohen, who will take The Stand On Monday here in new york he is expected to be, if not the final, than at least the central piece of the prosecutions case against his old boss its in client the former president on though it is not yet known precisely what he will say. We do know what has not been said so far by prosecution witnesses namely any testimony that donald trump directed the falsification of Business Records to hide his and cohens Hush Money Payout to Stormy Daniels other witnesses up until now have established that he was very conscious about how he spent his money, that he signed the checks to cohen, that they were to reimburse cohen and then some for paying off daniels and that the former president , along with cohen and Tabloid Publisher david pecker, had arranged his scheme to keep potentially devastating news quiet before the 2016 election cohen could provide the rest or not. We just dont know here is what he has said already in congressional testimony, five years ago so picture this scene in February Of 2017 month into his presidency im visiting President Trump in the oval office for the first time. And its truly inspiring. Hes showing me all around and pointing to different paintings. And he says to me something to the effect of dont worry michael, youre january and february reimbursement checks are coming. They were fedexed from new york and it takes a while for that to get through the white house system. As he promised, i received the first check for the reimbursement of 70,000 not long thereafter again, we do not yet know whether he can also speak to the falsifying documents, charges that make up the indictment and we certainly know that his testimony could be undermined by his criminal record and his ghraieb against the former president , which he modeled here in tshirt form today on social media that is his former client in a Prison Jumpsuit behind bars today, judge juan merchan at the defenses urging, warned him to stop talking about trump and the trial and asked the prosecution to tell him so on his behalf, with more on that, we are joined tonight by cnns Kara Scannell and former Deputy Assistant attorney general, harry litman, both of whom were in court today, also a cnn legal analyst, karen friedman, agnifilo, and cnn political commentator errol louis, who is covered donald trump for decades here on local new york news, when note here. A colleague of Karen Agnifilo is law firm, represents Michael Cohen, though karen herself does not work on the case. She has no contact with cohen and no restrictions on what she can say about it on that note, Kara Scannell, talk about the courtroom today. What was it like in there . Over the highlights . So today was a dry day compared with yesterday with Stormy Daniels on the Witness Stand, but it was setting up Michael Cohens testimony. We saw excuse me, phone records that came into evidence today, and these are call logs between Michael Cohen and a number of these key players. Most importantly, with donald trump, also david pecker, keith davidson, all of the players heres that are around the catch and deal. And as we know from this, did not come out in court today, but i expect well see this. We know from the federal investigation that there were a lot of phone calls just after the access Hollywood Tape came out. And as they were trying to wrap up the steel. So i think that is going to this is getting this into evidence now. So that Michael Cohen can talk about it. Hes on the Witness Stand beginning monday. I mean, added to that, we also saw some of these tweets that donald trump had issued two key time periods. One was a few days after the fbi rate of cohens home hotel room, and office back in april of 2018. And at that point, trump had tweeted that most people would want Michael Cohen to flip. He said, i dont see my gold doing that fastforward to august 2018, the day after cohen pleads guilty and implicates trump in federal court. Trump tweets. I would strongly suggest that you dont retain the service of Michael Cohen if youre looking for a good lawyer. So part of the strategy for the prosecution in those is to show that donald trump perhaps subconsciousness of guilty or knew what was happening planning and they got those in today to those to me were the bigger things with today documents in tweets to bolster Michael Cohen because presumably karen, the prosecution thinks that Michael Cohen needs bolstering his credibility issues are famous at this point. What do you think the biggest challenge is for the prosecution with cohen on The Stand On Monday so in New York State, the words of the testimony of somebody sworn under oath is enough to convict someone beyond a reasonable doubt if the jury credits them. But because Michael Cohen has a criminal history and one of his charges is lying under oath. Thats problematic. So what the what the das its office wants to do is corroborate as much as possible of what of what hes saying. And so far theyve corroborated him 12 ways to sunday. I mean, theyve corroborated every little detail. And when youre a prosecutor and you have a witness whos telling you stuff like, oh, yeah, we talked on the phone. Yes. We went in, met in his office. Yes. This happen when that happened and then you go get the records and the records backup what they said. Thats corroboration and thats what theyre showing the jury that being said of all the evidence that theyve put in, there still this piece of the link to trump that i think is dependent on Michael Cohen and thats the one thing that has not been established yet through corroboration. Now Michael Cohen, we have no idea how hes going to do on the stand and if if passed his prelude, you see how aggressive they were with Stormy Daniels . I have a feeling this is going to be similar, if not much more aggressive here to that point, the karam was making there is this gap in the story that Michael Cohen has to fill in. What is it you think exactly the prosecution needs to have Michael Cohen say on monday, i really think that theyve corroborated almost everything id say theyre looking to go 360 degrees. I think there is ten degrees and laughed and heres what it is. The statement of facts and the da is going to elicit this from cohen says that trump goes to weisselberg and cohen and says you guys take care of this, goa, go away and figure out what to do. Now, and we know a strong corroboration of that, probably the muscle important document in the case, we have weisselbergs handwriting. Its been authenticated as his saying sort of how we get from one but that critical conversation where trump directs it, i think will be only cohen. We heard a lot about weisselberg today and why that jury probably will not hear from him. A very interesting sort of side drama. But i think other than that and ive thought about pretty carefully, thats the only pc has to carry independent. You figure out what to do. Will it be enough for the prosecution to get him to say that or does cohen also have to say that trump new and or directed them to actually falsify the records. Okay . Well, so first of these many tweets that came in and theyre going to be important for not just for cohen, but for summation there. Youre going to have these exhibits, et cetera. And something that came in today was trumps knowing that these were supposedly Contention Payments for Legal Services d2 minus thats phony baloney. And that will be wrong are they what are they going to have to show as to trumps intent . Theyre going to need to show that he knows as the signing checks, et cetera. That that they are for Something Different than what theyre really four, but theyve got a fair bit of evidence of that. And thats why the defenses trying to say hes distracted, he signs, checks, the multitask, et cetera. And this is the gap and this is whats going to meet next week. So interesting, and this is why Michael Cohen is so important. Errol, you know, oh, yeah, go you have covered michael, there was a question, a can you keep it together in terms of not talking about the trial the next few days is the judge really wants him to be going to keep it together on the stand. Thats right. And those both of those are very much up in the air. We have to keep in mind that he doesnt have very many ways to make a living Michael Cohen anymore. And one of them is this industry, this antitrump industry that hes this Cottage Industry that hes cooked up. Well, that involves his books and his podcast. And as a appearances. And its very hard to sort of let that go. I think i think also though that especially on crossexamination, he is very angry. I mean, hes been angry on your shown on this air. Hes been angry in the green room. Hes been angry when ive interviewed him, talk with him personally, and he has a lot to be angry. He comes by that anger, honest plea he has he sat in federal prison from his Point Of View in order to impart at least because he was protecting donald trump, he wants some revenge. You want some payback. The problem of course, is that that will affect his credibility. The jurors, if they see somebody whos enraged, clearly vengeful with a financial motive to strike back it starts to maybe reduce some of it and that 10 that were talking about starts to maybe be a little bit elusive. So itll, itll be very interesting to see if hes, if youll have the selfdiscipline to keep his eye on the larger prize. The last thing ill say is, i dont know if he knows any other way to be a lawyer. This is somebody who was not arguing the finer points of Constitution Fusional Law when he was working for donald trump, he was a bulldog. He was a fighter. He was a scraper and i dont think he knows any other way to operate in a courtroom, even if hes a witness . Yes. The thing is everyone knows whats this take Michael Cohen, the prosecution, everyone involved here, you would think this is the one thing theyre preparing them for, but its still remains an unknown, right . Five meetings though unnormal witness went he one or two. Right. Hes still Michael Cohen. I could tell i was just gonna say hes hes unprofitable i am sure. I like ive never spoken to him. I have no contact, but there are certain people who are unprofitable. They just are who they are were going to talk much more about the case itself. What was before the jury today, the transcripts Kara Scannell today is going to takeover the transcript, reading right now, a closer look at the man in question in so many ways in his journey from Donald Trumps side to the Witness Stand are ready. K has that hes gonna end up winning this election come november, because people are seeing through the nonsense that was Michael Cohen in august 2016, defending his former boss, donald trump and cheering him on to become president. About a year later with trump in the white house, cohen told vanity fair magazine, im the guy it would take a bullet for the president in The Good Old Days of their relationship with cohen forcefully defended trump at every turn, they say mr. Trumps pitbull that in his um, his righthand man case in point, cohen threatening daily beast reporter in 2015 cohen had handled legal matters for trump for more than a decade, but the relationships soured when cohen found himself in legal trouble stemming from his dealings with trump thats when cohen went from fixer to foe, Donald Cannot keep track of the lives that he tells. He always cries the victim when he knows hes going to lose. Demand, doesnt Tell The Truth after the fbi raided cohens office in 2018, cohen admitted that just before the 2006 seeing election, hed arranged to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels 130,000 in hush money to keep quiet about her alleged sexual encounter with trump in 2006. Cohen also secretly recorded trump talking about a Hush Money Payment to playboy model Karen Mcdougal trump has denied affairs with both both women. Good morning. Cohen solidified his role as trumps number one enemy when he pleaded guilty in august 2018 in manhattan, federal court there were eight criminal counts, including Campaign Finance violations tied to his work for trump cohen said that included the Hush Money Payments to daniels and mcdougal. He implicated his former boss. He directed me to make the payments. He directed me to become involved in these matters. Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison later in 2019, cohen had harsh words for trump when he testified before the House Oversight committee he is a racist he is a con man and hes achieved in the new York Attorney generals civil lawsuit where trump was found liable for corporate fraud. Cohen helped seal his fate by testifying that trump manipulated property values. Did the president or his company ever inflate assets . Our revenues yes and was that done with the president s knowledge or direction . Everything was done with the knowledge. And at the direction of mr. Trump in 2018, Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying under oath to congress the year before all right. Which does some makes him a flawed star witness. Still come monday. No doubt cohen will be pointing fingers in trumps direction. Again. Randy k, cnn, palm beach county, florida it will be something. All right. Were back with the panel after the break.

I learned box on capitol hill we are talking tonight about Michael Cohens upcoming testimony and what he might know about whether the former president had an active role in phoning up any Business Records of Hush Money Payments to stormy manage daniels, right now, we do know this. He was intimately involved with then trumps cfo, Allen Weisselberg in the catch and kill operations the silence. Karen mcdougal, part of which he recorded in a conversation cnn obtained in july of 2018 i need to open up a company for the transfer of wallet that info regarding our friend david so im. Going to do that right away. Id actually come up by spotting and ive spoken to Allen Weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with so what are we funding that . Yes and its all the stuff david is then National Enquirer publisher david pecker, who is the states first witness. Allen weisselberg is the guy now doing time and new yorks rikers island, sent there by one judge, juan were sean, whose name came up in some rather interesting ways during todays proceedings, back with a panel at joining us former federal judge, shira scheindlin. And were going to get back to Michael Cohen in just a second. First care, i want to focus some of the testimony today. Madeleine westerhout, who was a white house aide to donald trump, was on the stand when court resumes this morning on crossexaminati on, what did she have to say . About the first year of the Trump Administration . So one of the questions that susan necheles, trumps attorney was focusing on in this period, was harb was Donald Trumps conversations with Allen Weisselberg because he is part of this reimbursement scheme. This is when these checks were being cut and then weve heard testimony about how close they are. So on Cross Nicholas asks westerhout and you were asked if Allen Weisselberg you spoke to weisselberg during when he was doing when he was president. Do you recall that about checks . Yes. Necklace says, am i correct that you do not have any specific recollection of Allen Weisselberg and the president and President Trumps speaking during the first year that President Trump was in office westerhout, thats correct. Yes. Necklace. And you have a vague recollection that at some point they might have spoken about a check westerhout . Yes, vaguely uhhuh. Necklace. But youre not even sure thats true, right . Westerhouts know, nicholas, and in fact, you really dont recall any calls specifically between him and Allen Weisselberg, right . Westerhout know he spoke to so many people. So defense trying to use this to say if they were on the phone all the time talking about this reimbursement and cutting of checks that she would have some memory of this course, ossicular would argue that this was something that maybe they had the one conversation they were not supposed to talk about it again. So harry Madeleine Westerhout testify that talk to weisselberg so maybe not all that much. Trump maybe didnt see every check he was signing. Donald trump really loved his wife in that was what Madeleine Westerhout, a prosecution witness, testified to todays thats the hand they were down and we saw this with rhona graff. We saw it with her. These are these are the witnesses. They have cohens the only real infidel there otherwise, working within the trumps circle, like the january 6 committee did. And youre exactly right. I think maybe the best five minutes or so for trump in the whole trial, she she was very welcome pliant as a witness and really, really aim to please and to make a mans for having messed up and the main thing i think she wanted to use them for it. Youll see that theres a single question on recross where she just says basically he loves maloney right . So that that is the number one yeah, i think theyre going to try to use in Closing Argument and shes the one who gives it to them. So prosecution witness but help trump. Thats right, judge. I do want to ask you what george bush sean talked about at the end of the daytoday, which is basically responding to requests for a gag order on Michael Cohen, didnt officially issue a gag order, but basically pleaded with any you want who would listen to get Michael Cohen to shut up. Thats exactly right. He said tell him that im asking him please to keep his mouth shut over the next three are three to six days and not say anything about donald trump. Im asking and tell him it comes from me, which is the best he could do. He said, why is it the best you know, he cant issue a gag . Order on a witness, but hes imploring him through the lawyer to not do it because he knows that if if he does do it, then trump responds and then we get another Gag Order Problem and the jug doesnt want, but its not just pretty pleased, judge wright, you say that theres muscle behind that when a court says dont you think it depends how you are if youre Michael Cohen, there may not be the muscle fact. It varies quiet for the next few days. Yeah, ive got just, you know, this picture we have of the screen with something that Michael Cohen posted today. I know yeah. The day a tshirt that the bars are not on trump behind bars wednesday. Wednesday. Well, its been posted this week. Yeah so its something that my day is there. Today is when he asked not to do it. So kara it told. Us the most interesting part of the day to me, at least was when the charge after the jury had left starts talking about island weisselberg, explain. Yeah. So the prosecution wanted to get into evidence the Severance Agreement that weissberg has with the Trump Organization. He is still owed 750,000 under this agreement. And there are a couple of terms one of which is that youre not to testify against the Trump Organization in an adverse fashion. So they want to introduce this into evidence to kind of get at why were not hearing from Allen Weisselberg in this case. And he is someone that is part of this conspiracy. So the jury could take some couldnt could read into this that he has some bias in that thats why hes not here testify. And so this was something that trumps lawyers were pushing back on. And so the judge and saying like whether this is admissible or not, he digs into whether he would would or would not testify. And so he says my question is, has anyone attempted to get him to come in in some way . By serving him with a subpoena or in other words, tried to compel us testimony. Chris conroy, prosecutor said, judge, the people have not. The judge said in have you you have an obligation Aiml Beauvais said no. And why . Because Allen Weisselberg is in rikers island. Hes in jail. And so they the judge said it would be helpful to me if you brought them in and we just asked them is youre going to start the fifth or is he going its requests . So care first of all, it was interesting to hear the judge basically say, hey, be great for me. So why dont the prosecution neither the prosecution nor the defense wants him anywhere near this courthouse. So id love to know the answer to that too, because Allen Weisselberg has been all over this trial the jury is going to notice that the jury is going to notice hes not here and he should testify for somebody. Right. If hes not coming in for the prosecution, theyre going to know why, but then theyre going to wonder, why is he not testifying on behalf of donald trump when i was a prosecutor, i used to love, frankly, when my witnesses were incarcerated because i knew where to find them. I am i could have control over for them. I can make sure they could come to court, so theres no reason just because hes incarcerated, that they cant bring him into court and its interesting to me, its like this Elephant In The Room because he, everyone says Michael Cohen is the key in some ways, he has the same key right he was the one who has just as a coconspirator as much as as as Michael Cohen is as much as donald trump is. He has, he could also provide the testimony or the exoneration, yet hes nowhere to be found on balance. I think that actually hurts donald trump more because he is expected to be favorable to him and theres another person to his bodyguard, mr. Schiller, is another name that the jury has heard about. He was the guy who Stormy Daniels would contact who is standing outside the Hotel Room Door when they had their little rendezvous. Hes also the guy who would accept the checks and the white house and bring them to donald trump . So theyre hearing that name to wondering where is he and why has donald trump not called these two witnesses, even though donald trump has no obligation to put on a defense or call witnesses. I think the jury is going to wonder in their mind, why arent they testifying . El al was a bird, has done a lot for donald trump he has, he has indeed, and hes got Family Members who work in the organization. Hes got a lot at stake. He but he is in jail right now, in part because he lied in a prior court case. He has lied under oath at great cost to himself personally. This is a guy who was, doesnt really belong in jail on, on sort of a biological level. Hes not doing so well and yet he did it out of loyalty. And its not just financial loyalty at this point this is basically his whole life and his whole career. So it would be i think a little bit risky to bring him in where does that chain of loyalty break . When and why . Unlike Michael Cohen, whos gone completely outside of the Trump Organization hey, should orbit. It sounds like Allen Weisselberg wants to literally live and die within trumpworld. And judge, with the da did say he cant put them on because it wont be able to talk to him in advance, dont know what ill say. Im sorry, i know i was going to say the same thing. Neither side was this guy because neither side knows what hes going to say. We dont call a witness when you dont know what theyre going to say he could hurt the prosecution, he could hurt the defense. So far hes been a standup guy for the defense. Hes gotten out of his way to protect trump. So the de really doesnt want him, but trumps not are either doesnt want another perjury wrap. Judge, 30 seconds or less year jury instructions. They started floating the discussion. Yeah. What are the complications that its very complicated because its charged as a Felony Meaning that the misdemeanor of falsifying Business Records now has to be with the intent to commit another crime and trying to explain to the jury what they do with that other crime. First of all, what is it . Is it the 17152 New York State election law . If so, how did they explain that . What is the jury have to do . Do they tell him the elements . Will that hold up . Its a state law, but its talking about effecting an election which is a federal election. So theres legal issues that are very complex in that too, but thats not for the jury. Thats later on appeal. It is something the judges note about thinking about oh boy, i bet long time. All right. Thank you. All very much coming up.

My first championship in houston charles, not winning a championship. Lets try and stay positive or positive. He didnt win a ring oh, my all right. We have more Breaking News this evening, just a short time ago. Us weather officials officially upgraded an already powerful Geomagnetic Storm caused by ejections of plasma from the sun, as we all know, moments ago, it was upgraded to g5 or extreme that is according to the space weather prediction center. This is the first g5 storm and more than 20 years, fears are that it could disrupt power grids and satellites, or the Technology Used by planes, ocean vessels, and Emergency Response agencies all around the world. But it has also produced something else. We have images of the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights. This is typically something youre more likely to see in northern canada, sweden, norway tonight, these images come to us from as far south as the united kingdom, switzerland, and germany in many americans, perhaps as far south as georgia and alabama, may have the chance to see these beautiful sights tonight. Im joined now by meteorologist chad myers at the cnn Weather Center in atlanta. And our chief climate correspondent, bill, were first chad to you. What does it mean that this was upgraded to the most extreme g5 level . I didnt know there was a g anything when it came to solar storms right . Because we did not get a g5 during the last solar cycle, 11 years ago. So when you said it was backing o3, that means were two cycles back to get to this g5, it means that there is extreme plasma in our atmosphere right now, charging power lines, doing all kinds of things to the atmosphere and our infrastructure that we just havent probably seen the results of yet. Were kinda building because another one of these surges, another surge is going to come about midnight tonight. Now i know these are pretty pictures and these are solar flares, but were talking about coronal mass ejections. It is a mass of plasma that is shot out from the sun. Youd have to watch the very first frame here, watched the first frame on the very next picture, and see how that just goes. That is the cloud of plasma. And why is it important . Because its not going this way. Its not going north, its not going is going right at you. Its like someone blowing a smoke ring in your face and you know, its coming. We know this is coming because of the way it ejected from the sun. The sunspot get this came from his 17 times the diameter of earth. This is a very large system now, all of a sudden, another coronal mass ejection right there with all of its plasma set to hit at 4 30 utc, greenwich mean time, about 12 30 eastern time. Now it could be a little bit earlier because all the ones that we thought would be about ive 5 00 came in around 1 00 this afternoon. So these are moving faster, maybe then even forecast a significant upgrade from four to five, five means that power lines are likely to lose power, not just possible. Were into the likely category that some of these Service Providers may not be able to keep up especially like the rural providers that havent cut or coops that just havent kept up or been able to upgrade their systems to keep this out of their leinz will see right now, ive looked at Power Outages that us and were doing just fine. So how does this compare to other Geomagnetic Storms . Well, the fact that we havent had one for, 21 years is means that it is big and it also means that because we had six, two, maybe seven of them come out, theyre going to be additive. So yes, we got the first one i may be even half of a second one, but theres a third and a fourth and fifth and six still on the way. And these are going to accumulate. And so the gene he five is going to fluctuate. I just noticed it just looked over there and i said g1, but dont let that dont look at space weather and say, oh, well, thats only, its only a one there lying. Its a five. No, it was a five hour one. Its going to be two and its going to be three and its gonna be a five again, absolutely. By tonight, were going to see this intense, Extreme Storm continue. And it will continue for maybe two or three more days so bill djadja scared me enough about power grid. Right . And what what else is this going to do to us potentially . Well, this is a good History Lesson for context. 1921, the Northern Lights show up in havana in miami, in panama a couple of days later, the telegraph are a couple of hours later, the Telegraph System goes haywire in united states, operators are able to unplug the battery and send messages over the air. There was so much electricity at a Train Station in albany, new york set on fire when flames leaped from the switch there these big storms that was probably a g5 ive only hit the earth like that pre electrical grid. Now we are all connected by this Rube Goldberg machine of thousands of different utilities hook together with transmission lines. Theres east coast, west coast, texas has their own they did a study that if the 1920s, one event were to happen today it would cause a blackout for 130 Million People close to half of all americans. And they report estimated cost of a storm between 12 trillion. What would take four to ten years to recover from, because when big one of these big pieces of equipment that sends electricity long distances is transformer blows these are sort of bespoke pieces of machinery. It takes months to build a new one. And if hundreds of those go out, it could connect it. And that doesnt even get us into the gps satellites, which get mucked up when this happens, which connects are Banking Shipping thing military, national security, all affected by all that power, we forget the sun is this thermonuclear bomb that has been going off for 4 billion years. And the energy coming off of it really hurts. You might have a long night yeah, weve got a lot to talk, aware. All right. Listen.

A secret and spies premier sunday, june 2, attempt bomb cnn late today, the Biden Administration released a longawaited Report Finding A Quote Reasonable to assess israel used american weapons in gaza in ways that are quote inconsistent, end quote with International Law the report, however, stopped short of officially concluding that israel committed violations meantime, three israeli israeli now whistleblowers are talking to cnn about what they say is the abuse of palestinian detainees. They were rounded up during israels invasion of gaza and held in an Israeli Military base, doubling as a Detention Center we do, want to warn you that what you are about to see and hear is graphic scene. Its chief Global Affairs correspondent Matthew Chance has the exclusive its a place the Israeli Military doesnt want us to see but at the seti to man facility in southern israel, we joined Human Rights Activists amid growing concern for palestinian detainees inside. This is a protest by Israeli Citizens outside a Detention Center close to gaza, where we know hundreds of palestinians been held. You can see its a closed military facility. Its behind the Barbed Wire Fence were not permitted access. This hostility from passes by Somebody Drive past in a car and they shouted out to us in hebrew, defending murderers, know if anybody, are defending basic human rights and nice cnn has gained exclusive evidence of Prisoner Abuse at side2 man for multiple israeli whistleblowers have witnessed what happens inside one young israeli reservists told us He Saw Scores of detainees at steady tonight and shackled and blindfolded. Weve hidden his identity and voice to shield him from prosecution. We were told they are not allowed to move and must sit upright theyre not allowed to talk or peek under their blindfold and what happened if they if they did do that so what are punishments were retired. We were allowed to pick out problematic people and punish them, having them stand with their hands above their heads for an unlimited time. If they didnt keep their hands up, we could zip tie them to the fence the Israeli Military says detainees are handcuffed based on their risk level and health status. But the Account Tallies with photographic evidence obtained by cnn of palestinian detainees inside said the two men and with hand and wrist injuries show to cnn by dozens of palestinians released back into gaza ziptied and blindfolded says this former detainees and tortured in a way i never imagined one source telling us the restraints were so tight that had to amputate a mans hand. The view that ive heard expressed is that hack heidi think israeli hostages are treated by hamas. This sentiment was voiced in the facility, but i think that if hamas is so abominable which i agree with, then why use hamas as a bar . Its a descent into dehumanization a descent thats accelerated since the Rampage By Hamas On October the seventh last year the killing and abduction to gaza of hundreds of israelis provoked outrage. And a brutal response mean israels Roth Tens Of Thousands of palestinians have been killed detained for interrogation transported to facilities like cetera, to man we want israeli guard. Now tell cnn, prisoners are routinely beaten. Weve hidden his identity and voice to you can take them out and eat them maybe four or five times per the club the detainees light belly down, being hidden, kicked, people screaming, and dogs barking at them. Its terrifying some detainees are taken away and beaten really hard. So bones and teeth are broken. So you saw people who are subject to these beatings or had their broke bones broken and you had their teeth broken. Yes. Its a practice which commanders know about. They want intelligence, but they also want revenge and punishment for happened on october 7 the Israeli Military hasnt approved cnns requests for access to Side2 Man The Gates of the facility. We challenged the israeli guards i that would be blindfolded oh. This isnt facilities. As we lead by masked solids which is hello get stopped and dont like coming. This will lead the Army Although youre all im saying that daniel order us to leave while were driving now to meet one israeli with personal experience of this today tame man facility its experienced that he says has left him shocked at the condition and the medical treatment of palestinian detainees. There he told us he treated palestinian detainees with gunshot wounds, fresh from the war zone in gaza. But was appalled at the lack of equipment and expertise. The problem is gazans who are brought in are labeled as terrorists. And it is very popular opinion over here that terrorists deserve to die. So they do not deserve the same medical care as everyone else Satellite Imagery obtained by cnn shows how the set e to man facility was expanded after the october 7 attacks with Detention Facilities and makeshift medical bays being added after Public Hospitals in israel refused to treat Injured Gazan suspects eyewitness accounts described a Field Hospital with 15 to 20 patients, virtually naked and blindfolded with hands and feet, shackled to their beds, wearing diapers what i witness told cnn painful procedures were carried out by underqualified medics. Treatment. The medical worker told us amounts to punishment in my view, its the idea of total vulnerability. If you imagine being unable to move, being unable to see whats going on thats something that borders, if not crosses, Into Psychological Torture the Israeli Military says prisoners are stripped for Security Checks and that investigations are open when theres suspicion of misconduct. Still, accounts from israelis and palestinians inside. And the shocking images paint a disturbing picture well, john, theres been reaction already from the white house. Theyre saying their deeply disturbed by the outcome of this investigation from cnn and reaching out to their counter the parts in israel to try and get answers. And they say they want good answers because this really cuts to one of the big concerns about israels actions in gaza since the hamas tax on october the seventh whether the country is following the right strategy or not already, theres a big debate in israel about whether too much emphasis has been placed on destroying hamas instead of releasing the hostages now, israelis are increasingly concerned that israel may be stepping over its own moral boundaries as it seeks retribution.

Now comfort looks good even mechanic in washington and this is cnn cnn has obtained Police Dispatch audio surrounding the shooting of 23yearold Senior Us Air man, Roger Fortson last week by a florida sheriffs deputy. This comes after a release of video from a police body camera, as well as a facetime call involving fortsons girlfriend. The moment of the shooting, seen as Nick ValenciaReport Sports newly obtained Police Dispatch audio reveals the first call came in around 4 00 p. M. On may 3rd, about a physical disturbance in progress male and female information i, believe around 4 29 p. M. The four Minute Police body camera video begins with an Okaloosa County, florida sheriffs deputy arriving on the scene frequently. Okay this time it sounded like it was getting out. A woman at the complex tells the deputy she heard yells and a slap coming from the apartment two weeks ago, but wasnt sure exactly where it came from eventually, she directs the deputy to fourth floor apartment 1401 the home of 23yearold senior airman, Roger Fortson, saying the girl who made the call about the physical disturbance sounded scared at 4 30 1pm, the deputy knocks once without introducing himself roughly 30 seconds later, he knocks again twice a warning. What youre about to see over the next 20 seconds is grappling fortson, who appears in the body camera video to have a lowered firearm in his right hand was shot six times to the chest. He survived the initial shooting. Three, 12 get you mess mylocation. But was later pronounced dead at the hospital. My baby was my everything was it wasnt my third sign well, we come from you dont end up what roger and adding to their pain fortsons family believes deputies went to the wrong address, a claim that the sheriff disputed while defending his Deputies Actions ben crump, natalie jackson, and brian bar represent the family. They say the initial Police Statement was misleading and leftout key details of the shooting it makes you think this happened outside that this kid was in the middle of a disturbance and he did something he instigated this and lost his life. Thats what it makes it sound like it sounded like justified. We are aware of a Press Release and other comments that falsely state our deputy entered the wrong apartment and imply that they burst through the door into mr. Fortsons residents during the shooting, the ehrmann was on a facetime call with his girlfriend who crump says told him there was never a disturbance at fortsons home. Crump says fortson had been home alone just 30 minutes before the deputy arrived he heard two knocks at the door, and when he couldnt see anyone through the peephole, crump said citing the girlfriend, then forts and grabbed his gun, which crump said he legally owned in the girlfriends facetime video, we hear forts and struggled to breathe after the shooting as he lies on the Floor Bleeding out the deputy is now on paid administrative leave while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated state Attorneys Office and Okaloosa County tells me that theyre going to wait for the fda lee to finish its investigation before they decide whether to pursue charges. An earlier i got a hold of the chief assistant state attorney, their gregg anchors, and hes seen the video, but he refused to comment when i asked him to he
