The money. Yeah. Jason carroll. Thank you very much. Theres an incredible story thanks for joining us. The news continues now here on cnn its wednesday, may 22, right now on cnn this morning, the defense rests now, the fate of the former for president will be decided by 12 manhattan jurors deadly turbulence, one passenger killed dozens more injured when a Singapore AirlinesPassenger Jet hits some very rough air and theres a devastating tornado tearing a small town in iowa hello, two pieces all right. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, eight live. Look at New York City good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us the defense rests Donald Trumps lawyers wrapped up their defense of the former president yesterday in his criminal hush money trial. And two, almost no ones surprise, trump did not testify as promised. The jury wont return until tuesday for Closing Arguments with a verdict possible by the end of next week. Trumps sounding competent going into Closing Arguments, but refusing to answer why he decided not to testify very good i think we have a great she was put on that roman is no primes with an extended break in the trial, trump is returning to the Campaign Trail for the remainder of the week. Rotors reports will be holding a funnel razer with liters of three big Us Oil Companies in houston later today, the washington post, to previously reported trump, it asked the Oil Executives to donate 1 billion to his campaign a little complicated. Actually, do that are joining me now, discuss a few National Politics reporter for axios sophia. Good morning. Wonderful to have you. Look no one is surprised or you shouldnt be surprised that donald trump decided not to testify in his own defense although i guess you could be forgiven for thinking that he would considering what he has said about it in the past, watch do we have that we might not have that. Were just looking for all the times. He said that he would not testify or that he would testify in his own defense, which were many but ultimately, he wouldnt actually answer questions about why he wouldnt testify in this case. Clearly, probably legally the right decision, no. Right. Something has changed and we saw that from him because his lawyers, i think have suggested that hed not testify. We know that anytime he goes up there, he tends to incriminate himself. And so we know that the campaign, as well as trump himself, has differed a lot to the lawyers and ultimately, i think it was the lawyers decision for him not to go up there and testify. So instead of testifying, he used his time outside the court to criticize the judge in this case, won more, sean and he really escalated those attacks something weve seen him do before with other judges. Im he hasnt done it as frequently in this case, but this is what he said yesterday about judge juan roshan. Listen take a look take a look at where it comes from. So of course this is what he says. Take a look at where he comes from. He cant stand donald trump, obviously referring to his heritage in columbia. This is something that again, weve seen him do with other judges, but it really is remarkable that he takes these attacks to this level. Yeah, i mean, i think this is the first time that he to my knowledge, has made this particular attack against this judge. But you know, thats a line that he is used to attack a lot of people that he doesnt like is to show how they are different in how they shouldnt be trusted. I think he knows that were getting to the closing days of this trial, so it could be that hes feeling particularly emotional and coming out to say, say these things, but thats a pretty common im in line line for him a lot that you are correct when you say this is something that we hear from him a lot to the point where i think for some folks, it seems unremarkable. I think think worth just spending a second noting that it is still remarkable if you, of course this campaign is continuing while hes in the courtroom he was out there doing some local interviews as we reported there, hes gonna be fundraising, obviously one of the major issues on the trail this cycle has been Abortion Rights in the fall for versus wade. And one thing democrats have warned or tried to emphasize is that they believe that there may be republicans who try to interfere with peoples ability to get contraception right . Which is of course different from the Abortion Pill, different from some of the other things that we talk about here. Much, much farther down the line, i guess you could say. And donald trump was asked by a reporter that trump was talking to whether or not he would restrict contraception. Heres how donald trump answered that question do you support any restrictions on a persons right to contraception . Were looking at that and im going to have a policy on that very shortly and i think its something that youll find interesting that suggests that that you may want to support some restrictions like the morning after pill or some here we are also things really do have a lot to do with the states now, the campaign seems to be trying to walk that back. Obviously, there is also an Abortion Pill mifepristone, where there are questions about whether that could be restricted through the mail, et cetera. Some questions about wild trump confuse these two things. But this is certainly something democrats are likely to seize on. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, when we went back and asked the Campaign Just lets today after that interview, that campaign told us that trump, in the time interview, had said that he was planning to announce a new policy on mifepristone so it really does appear like he confused that to and as for democrats, i think this really fell into their lap yesterday because allows them two in a video clip, replay that time and again, reminding voters what a second term Trump Presidency look like using trumps words and certainly suburban women voters have really been a major reason why donald trump lost the election in 2020. And if he loses again in 2024, likely to be another key reason. So if you think its pretty much restart and stuff this morning, thanks. I can shade it.

And this is cnn right, new this, morning, three western European Countries making a significant move to try to show support for palestinians the Prime Ministers of ireland, spain, and norway plan to formally recognize Palestinian Statehood later this month. While this move is purely symbolic, its Straining Relations with israel. Israels Foreign Minister quickly responded by recalling their ambassadors writing this ireland, norway, intend to send a message to the palestinians and the whole world today. Terrorism pays after the terrorist Organization Hamas carried out the largest massacre of jews since the holocaust. After it committed the most horrific sex crimes the world has been these countries chose to give a reward to hamas and iran and recognize A Palestinian state. Joining me now is cnns max foster. Max, good morning. Coming to you. So less than half of eu countries recognize Palestinian Statehood. Most are eastern European Countries what is the significance of this i think these are very close. These joe, these countries that are very central to european politics, they are also very close to the United States. And theyve all grouped together effectively this group of three, making the same announcement at the same time. And it was there all saying in response to what theyre seeing in gaza. So maybe they wouldnt be you doing this if it wasnt at this time, if it wasnt what happened in gaza and its pretty clear that the china builds some momentum here, are trying to get other countries to follow suit. So obvious. Countries to look to are the United Kingdom and then that obviously raises questions about the United States who have been talking about a twostate solution, but not statehood. So it does put the us in a difficult position to really clarify themselves on that because some people see it as contradictory, but of course this is absolutely against what israel, the current government there stands for and i think therell be some people in the us, it would argue actually working towards a twostate solution. Ultimately, this might just get in the way why do you think there is a divide between the Biden Administration and even many republicans who at least privately well say that this has been kind of us policy for decades. This idea that we would work towards a twostate solution in the region and that its netanyahu that has taken it farther and basically taken that off the table because of his own political nicole imperatives. Yeah, certainly we saw that to me i love the conversations between the us and israel. This is a big form tension between biden and netanyahu. But its what point you recognize a. Palestinian, state as far as diplomacy is concerned, and thats the, thats what all the focus here would be on. The us because it will be huge thing for them to say it, but its the timing around that and that might put a lot more pressure on them to bring that timing forward. I dont think itll be necessarily be seen as helpful as by some of the United States. But over here in europe is seen as if youre gonna do it, you should r8 now and put your cards on the table all right. Max foster for us live from london. Max, always grateful to have you. Thank you so much for being here. All right. Now, this passengers recalling the terrifying moments when theyre Singapore Airlines flight encountered severe turbulence on the way from london to Singapore First came the fasten seat belt sign, an indication we should really do better Job Listening when that sign comes up because after that quote, all well, hell broke loose but i saw people come across the aisle just like going completely horizontal, hitting the ceiling and let me back down and like really awkward positions, people like getting massive gaseous and your head concussions yeah, its the flight made an Emergency Landing just minutes later in bangkok, official say a 73 yearold passenger died and more then 70 passengers were injured.

A live look at New York City defense rested its case in the trump hush money trial. Morning. Everyone and kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us since the early days of Donald Trumps criminal hush money trial. We have been engaged in this. Will he or wont he . Wondering whether or not he was going to testify . 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. Well, i 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. Theyre saying what kind of a cases is there is no case. Well, im not allowed to testify. Im under a gag ill probably so i would like to i mean, i think so too, almost no ones surprise. That was all talk trumps lawyers rested yesterday calling on just two witnesses to testify. Neither of them being trump himself the jury doesnt return until tuesday for Closing Arguments, and there could be a verdict by the end of next week. Join me now to discuss trial attorney, former prosecutor, enron sorry. Thank you so much for being here. Amron im not surprised he didnt take the stand, but i guess if you listen to him you might be surprised that he didnt take the stand. This seems like the wisest course, no yeah. Im not surprised either kelsey and i think his attorneys advised him that if he took the stand, he would be subjected to vigorous crossexamination. Of course, there was a ruling by the judge which would allow a lot of prior bad acts testimony, or questions and testimony to come in before that jury. It would be a dangerous prospect if he took that stand because im sure prosecutors would have their way with donald trump on crossexamination. So even if donald trump still wanted to take the stand as he was saying, that he may do with all those Press Statements and on truth, social, et cetera, i think i his lawyers would advise him otherwise, and thats what we saw so what do you expect in terms of Closing Arguments here i mean, how is it that you think, especially the prosecution needs to underscore the arguments that they made because obviously the crossexamination of Michael Cohen i was pretty tough here. Im curious your thoughts on the most effective way for them to try to present the case to the jury in the last moments of the trial sure well the prosecution are going to want to simplify it. Kelsey in terms of all the evidence, all the testimony that has been put forth before the jury. They want to simplify the case for that jury and Connect The Dots between the evidence and the charges that the judge will be giving that jury. And of course, we had a Charge Conference yesterday where both sides argued about what charges would be presented the jury in what wording they would be presented with. Of course, the events then on their summation want to point fingers, they want to take trump trump out of the equation and really argue that he had no knowledge as to what was going on. And also that the motivation for any payments wasnt necessarily four campaign furtherance, but rather to protect his personal life from melania, et cetera and theyre going to want to discredit the process excuses witness. Of course, Michael Cohen will be someone there going to be attacking vigorously on that summation. So prosecution wanted to simplify and Connect The Dots and prove their case. The defense wanting to discredit Prosecution Witnesses and really take trump out of the equation from the criminal charges. All right. And wrong on sorry for us this morning, sir. Thanks very much for being with us. I appreciate it all right. Now, this secretary of state, Antony Blinken says hes open to working with congress on legislative action against the International Criminal court. This comes after the icc prosecutor, karim khan announced hes seeking Arrest Warrants for israeli leaders, including Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in gaza. President Biden Slamming the icc calling its decision outrageous, Secretary Blinken taking it one step further, as he spoke to come chris do you think you can support a legislative approach to this so enrich in short, we want it, lets look at it. We want to work with you on a bipartisan basis. To find an appropriate response given the events of yesterday, i think we have to look at the appropriate steps to take to deal with again, what is a profoundly wrongheaded decision . All right joining me now is congressional reporter for the hill, Michael Schnell. Michael, good one too. Thanks so much for being here. So clearly, senator risch, theyre trying to pressure the administration to make a commitment meant to do something legislatively about this, but blinken actually seemed relatively open to it, which i do think sort of underscores where the administration is on this. Its actually not that far from where a lot of Senate Republicans are. Yeah. And Senate Democrats and House Democrats and house republicans, we really seen this bipartisan agreement on capitol hill. There are a few outliers. Outliers . Get to that after, but this bipartisan agreement that what the icc did was wrong, that sort of giving this False Equivalency between israel and hamas was wrong. Of course, the us israel not a party to the icc. So that leads into this reason also why they think that this was a wrong decision by the International Criminal court. But all in all this wide spread condemnation of this decision by the icc. So that could now lean into legislation. I asked speaker johnson yesterday, how does the house plan to react to these requests at a restaurant . Orange, what you have so sharply criticized, he says that the house is working on legislation. He expects it to be by partisan a component of that. He said will be two sanction the icc officials who were involved in this decision. And he said he wants to get into the floor as soon as possible. Now, of course, there are some of those outliers when you talk about support, people like senator Bernie Sanders congresswoman well alexandria ocasiocortez, stop you there. Actually, because i want to show everyone what aoc had to say about the icc. Lets watch her comments i think, that we have seen the input from an overwhelming amount of our allies in the developed world and across the world in general really respecting the independence of the icc. And for me this is less about lobbying towards one decision or another, and its more about respecting the independence of the court so she says, well, its about respecting the independence of the court. I was a little surprised she actually didnt go farther because Bernie Sanders, as you note, he said the icc prosecutor is right to take these actions, these Arrest Warrants may not be carried out, but its impaired furtive that the Global Community uphold international law. Hes much stronger than she is on this. I really surprised by that at all. A little bit, yes. The expectation was that she wouldnt join people like johnson, people even like schumer in condemning this decision but the question of where exactly she would land on this look, i think it could be tough because again, the us, not a party to the icc. Shes seeing so much by Parsing Criticism of this decision and so its a question of where she wants to come down on it. But look, there are some progressive lawmakers who wouldnt even comment on the matter. Congresswoman, my colleagues had talked to the congresswoman Rashida Tlaib last night she wouldnt even comment on this decision by the icc to file these Arrest Warrants. I think that its clear that some progressives are still grappling with how exactly to respond to this decision because because of course, remember, its the Arrest Warrants against netanyahu and its the restaurants between against the hamas leaders, but its also the ones against netanyahu and his Defense Minister of people who these progressive has been highly critical of but how did they come down on it when decision comes, when its equating them offering this False Equivalency. Many people have said to those hamas leaders. So its clear, progresses are still figuring out how exactly to respond to this as the story continues to develop changing gears a little bit, i want to ask you about these Supreme CourtJustice Samuel alito, because he has come under increasing fire in recent days there of course is the incident with the flat bag that was flown upside down at his house, a symbol of solidarity with these stop the steal movement. This happened in the wake of the january ticks attacks. Let me show you what senator Lindsey Graham had to say about this when when he was asked in the hallway, watch created a situation that were all talking about. So yeah, i think it was a mistake, but leave it up them to explain it he says that he thinks it was a mistake. I actually was a little bit surprised to hear him say that. Now gram, of course, at the top of the judiciary committee, at one point so i suppose that is an experience that perhaps informs this. Yeah. I mean, its going to mix bag of reaction to this alito story. I was also a bit surprised at how graham came down on this casting any doubt on the situation and on Alito Hoisting that flag above his house to give any sort of criticism compared to some other republicans, for example, john food when were top Senate Republicans said that this was just another example of harassment that conservative jurist face. So the fact that graham came down on this a little more strongly was definitely really fascinating. But in terms of seeing more steps on this, dont expect anything there Senate Democratic whip, gibb, dick durbin, who is also the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee the he said he doesnt plan to hold any more hearings or an investigation into this matter of saying essentially there would be no point at this point of it because this is just an adjudicated situation. The flag was hoisted and alito admitted to blame that on his wife and folks are now moving on. But i think thats this will underscore the push for stronger congressional, stronger Supreme Court but ethics is a conversation we saw crop up after alito and justice thomas, who was reported that they took those luxury trips with some republican donors. Its something that came up when ginni thomas the wife of Supreme Court clarence thomas, was tied up in the january 6 proceedings. Now, its again cropping up.

Words evoking adolf hitlers rule during the 1930s and 40s, his third reich more recently was seen in a video posted to Donald Trumps social media account this week they removed the post yesterday, but not before. It had been up for a consistent iterable amount of time, several hours and comments had been put out about it. His Campaign Says the video was reposted by a staffer who did not see the phrase and of course, at President Biden called this out whats next for america this sound is official account wow, a unified reich that settlers language thats not americas. He cares about holding on the power i care about you right . Join me now, Former GeorgiaLieutenant Governor geoff duncan. Good to see you jeff, its wonderful to have you. Youre one of the few republicans who are not only publicly against trumps bid, but you have said that youre going to support joe biden in november and we should also note youre a cnn political commentator. Can i just get you to weigh in on what we saw here, the Trump Campaign blamed this on a staffer. They say weve reposted the video. We didnt make the video, but when you put this in the context of other things that donald trump has said, including they claimed he was joking when you said you wanted to be a dictator for a day but he still said it. Whats your reaction to this . I go back to the old phrase you lay down with dogs, you get fleas and donald trump has play patty cake with Fringe Groups and fringe movements going back to the first moment he came down that escalator in New York City and its probably a balanced for him between getting votes and stuff that he actually probably believes in it and thats the disgusting part of all of this. Hes willing to sell his soul to the devil to try to get votes and to try to stir the pot and they tried to create anger and anxi, amongst america and mission accomplished. If his job, which i believe in, or his mission in his mind is to create anger hes done it. But look this is no mistake on these peoples parts. And if it was me and i had somebody in my organization or my company posts, Something Like that. Not only would i have it removed immediately, but that person would be fired and therell be a Public Statement that would condemn every ounce of that miss messaging that has not happened yeah. I think its worth noting too, that that we covered this on the show yesterday morning. And it has been up for hours. The campaign had put out a statement about it and it was still up when we were sitting here in the morning. If this obviously since been taken down geoff, i also want to ask you about nikki haley because you recently were interviewed and you said that you hope that nikki haley ultimately does not endorse donald trump. You said, quote, i feel like this would just be a shortterm sugar high to gain favor inside the Republican Party. But there are Big Questions about what hayley is going to do here, because even in places that have been holding late primaries after she dropped out, shes still pulling a not insignificant percentage of the vote. And i have been wondering what she was going to do all the way along because it does seem like endorsing the guy is a prerequisite for staying in todays Republican Party. What do you think she is gonna do . What should she do and why . Hi so nicky can make your own decision and i certainly encourage her to do that. But from my perspective, i think the quickest way to get rid of donald trump, the quickest way to heal the Republican Party is to get rid of mental trump and to do that its not giving him four more years to wreck the brand of republicanism nikki haley has done an amazing job. Shes a great leader. Shes got a great track record. Shes incredible communicator. Shes got very well versed in foreign policy. Shes got an incredible future ahead of her to lead the new Republican Party, the one that concentrates on actually being conservative and not one filled with anger and hatred one that takes on our opponents, the democrats with our policy positions, using empathy and a better tone that to me is nikki haleys future. If we continue to just take the low lying fruit of well, i guess i got to endorse donald trump because hes got an r next to his name. Were going to continue to repeat the same thing. Were going through right now. And thats broken the Republican Party is broken every way, shape and form. We should have turned away three election cycles ago when donald trump first lost and we knew that it was a broken brand. We knew that he wasnt a natural leader. Hes just a thug. And hes a bully while, while being a thug jeff. Can i also ask you about the elections that were recently held in georgia primary elections yesterday, we saw both figures involved in nicki election case, fani willis and scott mcafee, the judge overwhelmingly when theyre primary elections. Im just curious how you would evaluate the job that fani willis has done so far in prosecuting this case. I mean, this is something that you were obviously very much personally affected by, and we have seen whats played out delay the case two the point where its very unlikely that theres going to be any resolution before georgians have to vote again in the president ial election theres no other way to describe this situation between her nathan wade is just just embarrassing. Right. To watch that play out and to see that poor decisionmaking certainly it was embarrassing to them. Im sure and it certainly was not the right step forward, but from a legal standpoint in the structure of the case, i dont believe it really affected the case is certainly as i testified, both in the special grand jury and the grand jury case. And i certainly never saw anything less than professional professionalism from start to finish throughout my process, but i do worry that this country is not going to get to see these verdicts play out. But what i will tell you is just listening to this new york case i mean, its been fascinating. Its been discussing at times to even hear some of these grueling details. And this just horrific decisionmaking in lack of personal character that donald trump has, even if it doesnt end up becoming a conviction its just america gets to see how this guy thinks every day when he wakes up, youre now going to watch when these other cases start to play out, whether itd be georgia or arizona, or these federal cases. And even deeper look into Donald Trumps soul. And i think its going to even continue to further discussed americans thats the math problem for donald trump coming forward. I know we see all these polls that we see these large leads starting to develop, but its to me, its fuzzy math because the suburbs are never going to vote for donald trump ever again. Hes lied to them. Hes cheated to them. Hes cheated on his wife. Hes he slept with porn stars and all of it. Hes willing to continue to double down and lie on. And thats not a message to suburbs is going to fall in love with yeah. I mean, i do take your point though, because a lot of it this may may evaporate if he if he does. In fact when again in november, which i take your point about the polls President Biden certainly doesnt seem to believe if the pulse, i guess were about to find out jeff duncan thank you very much for being with us. I always appreciate having you hope you come back, please all right.
