lean. >> i'm jake tapper this hour, the trump campaign pushing back on a new report from pulp from propublica, which says quote, witnesses in the various criminal cases against the former president and have gotten pay raises new jobs, and more. i'm going to talk to one of the journalists behind the new report, plus that flagrant foul on caitlin clark. why is everybody hating on the woman bringing so much attention? the women's basketball and leading this hour for israeli hostages taken by hamas on october 7, are no longer alive. that today, according to the israeli military which says that the terrorist group hamas is holding the bodies of ami ram cooper and you're on metzler frame perry, and adopt popplewell paris family today calling on the israeli government, calling on netanyahu to pursue this ceasefire deal to save those who are still alive that is a question causing so much confusion is israel close to a ceasefire deal in exchange for hostage release, president biden proposed exactly that in a speech friday as you may recall. but in statements today, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu seemed to be not exactly on board. so let's get right to cnn's jeremy diamond in jerusalem. jeremy is israel any closer to accepting a deal is hamas any closer to accepting the deal? than last week? >> well, we are certainly hearing president biden and multiple other g7 countries trying to put their full weight of public support and public pressure behind this deal. and also trying to communicate publicly and privately that the israeli government, the israeli prime minister himself, despite his public comments saying, that he will not end the war until all the objectives are achieved. trying to convince the world that the israeli government is in fact behind this proposal. and if hamas agrees to it, it can indeed become a reality. but that is still very much uncertain here in israel, in particular, because the israeli prime minister is now confronting a key choice. and that could be whether or not to allow his government to survive, to ensure the survival of his government's by cao towing to the demands of some of the right-wing minister's and his government who do not want this proposal to go through, do not want this war to end, or choosing to actually implement the deal that his government has proposed. that of course rests on what hamas will do. we haven't yet gotten hamas is official response, but if they respond positively, then the ball will be back in netanyahu's cord. and as he has been trying over the last couple of days to insist that this war will not end until hamas is destroyed. there is now new concern inside the israeli government's, i'm told by two sources, two israeli sources. it's familiar with the matter that the israeli prime minister's comments downplaying the extent to which this could lead to the end of the war. actually risks undermining this israeli proposal in part because there's a lot of language in this proposal that is intentionally ambiguous, intended to try hi and sell hamas on this proposal, cell hamas on the idea that this these negotiations that could extend this six-week ceasefire could ultimately lead to something much, much longer term and ultimately lead to an end of the war. >> and jeremy, we've been covering for quite some time, but especially since october 7, about how much that's on yahoo's grip on power, how much governing coalition depends on these very far right, racist, anti-arab zealots. how is that factoring into this? well, it's factoring in enormously as we've been watching these really prime minister insisting this is not going to lead to an end of the war, risking potentially undermining the proposal itself. >> he's doing all of this because of these threats from the finance minister bezalel smotrich, from the national security minister, itamar ben gvir there either of them could single-handedly lead to bring about the collapse of this government should they leave? but there is, of course, another alternative one that has been raised by the opposition leader yair lapid. he has said that he would come into this government effectively providing a safety net during the implementation of this deal to keep netanyahu how empowers prime minister to keep this government alive but if netanyahu were to agree to that, he would effectively be handing the keys to. yet you're lapid the keys to collapsing the government to leading to early elections at a time of his choosing. and of course benny gantz also factors in so this he's a member of emergency war cabinet at the moment, but he has said that he will leave that war cabinet up by this saturday if the israeli prime minister doesn't provide details about a lot long-term strategy in gaza. interestingly, gantz and galan's another member of the war cabinet, had been on the phone with the secretary of state, tony blinken today a key sign that the united states has really trying to corral every piece of power, every piece of the architecture of this government to ensure that they are not only behind this deal, but that they stay behind in this deal as hamas is presented with this proposal. >> all right. so cnn's jeremy diamond is r2. some thanks so much joining us now to discuss cnn political and global affairs analyst barak ravid, he's also a political reporter for axios brock why is this ceasefire confusion in your view, possibly strategic by netanyahu? >> i think it's an iota, right now, is in a situation that he did not want to be in meaning he got to this situation because the members of his own war cabinet and the securities own security chiefs, the people he appointed, sort of united against them within the cabinet to say, we need this deal and we need this proposal. and he had no choice but to endorse this proposal, to bring it to a vote, it passed unanimously in the war cabinet. he approved it and it was delivered to hamas. and now if comer says yes, he is in a really big problem because as you really have to decide something that tried to prevent, to avoid for some time. >> now, biden said if hamas does come to negotiate a deal, israel has to be flexible enough to close that deal it's a deal possible you think i think it is. >> i think it is. and when you look at the hamas proposal from may 6, and you look at these rarely proposal from may 27th, you see the changes are really not that big they're is still a big issue of how you interpret the same language, okay. hamas interpreted as when this is implemented, the war will end. israel interpreted in a way that says well, we still have an exit point at a certain time. if we want to resume the war. and this is, i think this is the main sticking point and this is why this proposal, this israeli proposal, was drafted with this ambiguity to allow both sides to at least get into the deal, get into phase one. and the decide later whether they want to continue or they want to stop the deal. and in the middle. >> so on day 16, in this proposal israel and hamas are supposed to start ceasefire negotiations. netanyahu has repeatedly said, israel's not going to start those disgust questions until hamas is wiped out now, you're hearing from your sources that the main part of the wrapper of rafah operation is over how much more fighting does israel believe it's still needs to do? >> if you ask people in the idf, they will tell you that it doesn't even match meaning the idf leadership, the shin bet, are the israeli domestic security service, the mossad, all the security services say it is worth stopping now okay, in order to get the hostages and maybe down the road in two months, in three months and six months in a year hamas will give israeli a reason or it will violate the deal or it will attack again or anything. and we'll give israel the reason or the pretext to justification to go back into gaza and to finish off hamas. they send all of the security service telling tanya it is more urgent to bring the hostages back, right? now to destroy hamas. >> the times of israel's david harvey points out that israel's v0 quote, requires hamas to consent to its own effective demise and why one must ask what hamas agreed to do that unquote does come as thangka can reach a ceasefire and still eventually rebuild its terrorist ranks, and continue to govern such as it did gaza i think it depends who you ask, insight from us. >> some people inside hamas have been telling if your scene well hamas leader in gaza that once you go into such a temporary ceasefire that at least on phase one, we're talking about 42 days. that's a lot. the previous ceasefire was only seven days. now we're talking about 42 days. so once you in it, it is very hard for israel to go back to fightings and there's a very good chance that this will continue. and when you continue for another 42 days, if stays if stage two of the deal is implemented, then you are really in a different world. and then it is hard to see how this war resumes barack review. >> thank you so much for your excellent reporting is always coming up. the blockbuster decisions you can

campaign is today aggressively pushing back against the new report in propublica. one, it says nine potential witnesses and donald trump's criminal cases are getting big financial benefits from trump's companies and his campaign committees, propublica says that the pay of trump campaign adviser and lawyer boris epstein more than doubled trump organization executive allen weisselberg got a $2 million severance package that bars him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. the daughter of top trump campaign official, susie wiles was hired as the fourth highest paid employee. and another trump aide dance kadena was given a good seat on trump's social media board. after we he was subpoenaed, but before he testified to trump campaign official denies any form of witness tampering, saying that benefits provided two witnesses were the result of them taking on more work due to the campaign or his legal cases, heating up with this. now, a robert, if no, reggie, one of the propublica investigative reporters behind the piece so robert, let me just ask you the devils. devils advocate question here these are people who worked very hard for donald trump. i mean, board is epstein, susie wiles, like, is it not possible that they were paid this because they're working hard and not to influence their testimony of course, that's possible. this circumstance that we're looking at is not unique oftentimes, the boss of a company is under criminal investigation and the witnesses are his employees what we learned from i'm talking to experts is that what's supposed to happen when there's any changes to their employment status in these circumstances. is that the decision be made by ideally by some sort of independent board that this happened in the normal course of business trump is famously a micromanager and prides himself as a penny pinching so the idea that someone's payments being doubled, someone's salary going up by 20% someone ending up on the board of his media company without his knowledge, is a bit of a question given his history. >> one example in your reporting is a lawyer named boris epstein who used to work at the white house. he was an important figure in trump's effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election. here's a look at your graph that shows how trump campaign payments to epstein's company skyrocketed after he was indicted in cases where epstein was a witness. now, you talked to a former trump attorney, tim parlatore. what did he have to say? i know he and we should note that he and boris are not exactly the best of friends. did parlatore have any insight or explanation for that? >> sure. i mean, what he said was that he didn't think that he was qualified for this position and that he was puzzled by this dramatic increase in payments. other other people we talked to said something similar what the campaign said is that his responsibilities simply increased. but when we delved into that claim and asked, did the number of hours he's working increase what they said was that everyone's already working 24/7 and they were not really able to provide any detail secondly, we see that he is still doing work for other campaigns he's taken on a new position completely outside of politics. so his attention is divided and yet again there was this dramatic increase in payments from the campaign to his company propublica got to cease and desist letter from trump's attorney, demanding that your article not be published. warning quote, president trump will evaluate all legal remedies, propublica published the article anyway, which means you're confident in the money trail you followed what discovery stood out to you the most in the course of your reporting? >> well first of all, on the letter, yeah, of course we take that kind of thing seriously. we actually received it while we were on the phone with the trump campaign, vetting each and every fact that we plan to put in our story. we're very careful about that kind of thing. which one stood out to me? i mean, we when we went into nine examples in the story what stood out to me was sometimes the timing of the events and the benefits. so in one example a witness and one of former president trump's cases between the time he got a subpoena to testify before the grand jury and when he actually did testify before the grand jury, he got up position on the board of trump's media company. his affiliation with that company has been quite lucrative. he got a promissory note for $4 promissory note that converted into shares of the company. he got a very large retention bonus so his affiliation with that company has dramatically changed his fortunes. and again, it occurred between the time you got the subpoena and when he actually testified before the grand jury, a trump campaign spokesperson, you were talking about how you found it tough to imagine donald trump not being aware of raises and such, but a trump campaign spokesperson, as you know, is said that trump's not involved in determining how much campaign staffers staffers are paid what what do you make that well, you know, we again, i look at his history. >> there's been testimony in the latest trial, his own writings. he is described himself as someone who's in the weeds with the finances of the organizations. he sits atop of. so we, have not independently established that he was involved in any of these decisions. but if you look at his history, he is someone who is a micromanager and is deeply involved in the finances of his organizations all right. >> thanks. thank you so much. robert fatter, i really appreciate your time today, the month of june, always officers in host of opinions from the us supreme court this year,

powering progress the cnn presidential debates, june 27, 89 live on cnn and streaming on max in our lawn justice lead today ties the season for potentially earth-shattering us supreme court decisions. it's the summer. at any time over these next few weeks before july, we will know how the court rules and high-profile cases on abortion and guns, and former president donald trump's claims of immunity from prosecution let's discuss with our panel, jessica, let us start with a decision on trump's immunity claim. when do you expect the ruling to come down and how do we expect the court rule rule. >> all right. so they heard the case. it was their last case to end of april, so it's quite likely we won't get a decision in this until the last week, maybe of june. so donald trump's lawyers, once this court to find full immunity kennedy, they're arguing that if the president doesn't have full immunity for all actions overzealous prosecutors could target future presidents. the supreme court seemed really reluctant to take that full immunity. bait, if you will. and it looks like they might say that certain official actions are immune from prosecution. the question is will the court say that donald trump's actions around january 6, around the election were official actions or will they then send it back down to the lower court to decide whether his actions were official actions. if they do that, jake and they allow this case to move forward, it would just further delay the proceedings and it would make it even more likely that the january 6 case here in dc won't happen before the election. >> and sure. michael supreme court justice samuel alito told democrats on the hill that he's not going to recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 presidential election or the january 6 attack, because they'd been calling for it primarily because of the upside down and flag that apparently mrs. alito hang as a symbol of distress during the jan. the inaugural stop the steal january 6, all that era. he says that this is all martha alitos doing and he told her to take it down and she didn't listen to him yeah. >> i look, i read some of the reporting on this and they actually didn't have a pretty raucous dispute between the neighbors. i mean, it was kinda crazy. some of the back-and-forth so under that understanding, i don't think the justice necessarily needs to recuse himself. i will say this though moving forward, jacob, i think because of the contentious snus of this, what, how divided the country is. i think the justices and politicians generally speaking, need to be very, very careful about causing further divisions. i think it's important right now for the america i can public. i'd have trust in the supreme court, particularly when we know the supreme court is going to be decided on some really serious cases, like the case for upper pertaining to the former president who should not be deciding whether or not alito should recuse. alito. we don't write any other level of government. there is a system of checks and balances fundamental to how we operate and the rule of law in this country. but the supreme court has own ethics at its decides and individuals by their own honore would say whether or not they are capable of judging a case and it is untenable when you have not only political division, but you also have throughout the country the sense that government is running on checked and this would be a great space to have more accountability. accountability connecting to this immunity case, accountability often comes in terms of ethics violations, recusal prosecution. so the same supreme court that does not want to have outside accountability on itself. it'll be interesting to see how they handle accountability for precedent on the matter of the supreme court, considering abortion cases. what are the cases and it's really interesting because we're two years post-dobbs when roe v. >> wade was overturned, yet we're still dealing with these abortion cases that are coming up to the supreme court. we have two pretty big ones. this term, we have one involving mifepristone, which is the abortion pill used in the majority of abortions nationwide the supreme court will have to decide whether or not the fda overstepped its authority when it sort of ease some of the restrictions on this pill allowing limited take it earlier in pregnancy also allowing them to get it by mail. the challengers on this one in the lower courts. so if the supreme court of the people against mifepristone exactly. and if the supreme court agrees with that, that would severely restrict the availability of this abortion pill that is used. in most circumstances, it's about so much more than just this one abortion pill, right? when you start looking at how science builds upon peer reviewed information and the credibility of medicine overall taking down one ruling about one medicine could potentially impact all sorts of other issues. and then you have on the legal side where the two years post-dobbs hospitals don't know what they can and cannot do. it's all up to now, individuals who interpreting the law in the middle of an emergency, and that goes to the second case. here. that's the law out of idaho that criminalizes abortions in most circumstances, the biden administration is challenging that saying, wait a second, we have a law federally that in emergency rooms doctors should be able to take all measures, including abortions in order to prevent severe injury to women. whereas the idaho law only applies because when it's imminent death and we'll see if, if the, if the court rules on the side of the vitamin distillation, which is unlikely, it would kinda up and a lot of these antiabortion laws and probably two dozen states. that's just quickly politically here yeah, i think republicans need to take a step back from this and i agree with the former president who's one of the very few conservative salman. >> we continue to lose on this issue time and time again. we have two years worth of electrode data that showcases when the issue of abortion is top of line for most voters, not just women, but a whole lot of men as well. they're saying we do not want the federal government utilizing compulsory force to make this decision for private individuals. and i agree with edge, former president version. are you talking about the one whose prosecuting women and that he was celebrating the death of ron. >> i'm talking about the former president who recognizes this political suicide to continue to see that the federal government should make a decision. >> he killed pill, have something else to say, but biden campaign is certain taking advantage of this as they should given the swing votes and the need for both sides to connect with women voters that they are running ads called prosecution, literally about the idea that trump would want to prosecute women for health care decision making. a prosecutions we just saw hunter biden leaving court at the end of the first day of his trial now on felony gun charges, first lady jill biden, was in attendance today for jury selection. >> i think it's her birthday also, by the way, president biden also released a statement of support for his son this morning politically how do you think the shakes out for four?a biden also released a statement of support for his son this morning politically how do you think the shakes out for four? >> the bidens i don't think this is going to move voters un for the former president somehow equals a current president's son also being in court. >> thanks. we'll go ahead and quite certainly something that the president doesn't want to be asked on the campaign trail. >> what about your son in this gun trial? also, you have the california case coming up, jake with a tax evasion that's not something light for the president to have to discuss. >> well, i think you probably agree he doesn't want to talk about it, so thanks. one and all to our panel. i appreciate it, politics intersecting with another law and justice lead, and that is the bribery trial of democratic senator bob menendez of new jersey. menendez officially filed to run for reelection to the senate as an independent. today. and then does announced in march he would not run as a democrat, but he left open the possibility of an independent run if he is acquitted and has not been acquitted, he'd the trial is ongoing. cnn's jason carroll is with us now jason, the bribery case rolling on today, a key witness back on the stand. who is this witness? and what does he have to say? >> well, the key witness that you're talking about, of course, is ted makueni. he's a former official with the us department of agriculture. and what happened here? jake is mckinney over a period of time had raised a number of concerns about one of the co-defendants while hannah and his company, he felt as though that hana's company basically had a monopoly in terms of its food exports to egypt. and so again, he had raised these concerns over and over any told jurors that he remembered a specific conversation that he had with senator menendez. he said senator menendez called him on the phone and told them to quote stop interfering with all of this saying to jurors, we had never seen or heard anything like this in my history in the agriculture industry and in the foreign agricultural services. now, of course, the defense is arguing here that there is no wrongdoing that senator menendez did not accept any bribes from hannah or anyone else that he was simply working on behalf of his constituents at another point during another conversation, for example mckinney says that senator menendez told him, i care about new jersey businesses. and there's nothing wrong with that. but of course prosecutors say there is something wrong with what happened here. they said that he was accepting bribes. they said that his wife, nadine menendez, was also accepting bribes and they were able to introduce a whole lot of evidence showing emails and text messages showing that she financially was in trouble, which could potentially go to motive here. and of course, nadp menendez being tried separately, her trial scheduled for later in july, and jason menendez did get one when from the judge in a ruling about some evidence involving his co-defendants, tell us about that. >> he did he did. i mean, some of these text messages potentially damaging text messages that the prosecutors wanted to introduce to evidence such as one from one of the co-defendants saying that, hey, we're gonna be getting our money's worth here out of senator menendez up there on the hill, will judge sidney stein ruled that some of those text messages dealing with the senators actions on the hill cannot be introduced into evidence. jurors will not be able to hear that because this judge ruled that some of these things are protected by the constitution speech or debate clause, which basically protects lawmakers from being legally liable for some of their actions up there on the hill. but again, they're not able to introduce some of those potentially damaging text messages, but they were able t celebrity money they used to like a weapon i can smell him. i was inappropriately touched on, set the message to kevin us to be it's over

who gets a lot of media coverage, a lot of business deals there's this narrative that a lot of veteran players in the nba, wnba are jealous of her, are angry about her stardom. how do you see it? >> jake, you know, this doesn't help those who are saying that the players are not jealous or not angry. when you have kennedy carter doing that. obviously, people are watching the wnba as never before. new fans who are growing the game, it's exactly what the wnba wants. and they see that and then carter didn't want to talk to the media afterwards. and then went on social media and said, what is caitlin clark all she does is shoot threes. when in fact, of course she's the vl ticket right now for everybody. and it helps it get them charter flights. and frankly is i think arguably the greatest are the best known athlete in the country right now, maybe most popular athlete in the country. and you're reducing her to that. it's certainly brings all that up, right? it brings up the notion of jealousy or anger i think people are concerned and i've, i've covered with men's and women's sports, but women's sports for a long, long time and there is that concern that we're kind of pigeon holing women's sports into the the girls are jealous of each other, mean girls, whatever. i don't think that's the case here. i think truly it is a conversation, a national conversation that caitlin clark is taken us to whether we wanted to go there or not. and it's not a bad conversation to have. and i truly believe that people are hopefully beyond these stereotype of women being, being two women. and we can just talk about this as athletes potentially being jealous of another superstar athlete. >> well, what do you make of the those who say, i'm not saying this is my interpretation, but it's part of the conversation out there that a lot of the league sees this white straight woman coming in and being embraced by the united states of america and maybe they're not white and maybe they're not straight. and they think what the hell is this and that is part of what's going on. >> i think it probably is. and you and i talking as to why people would be naive to try to pursue them. otherwise, right? and i know you'd be the first to say that i do the second i moderated a panel at the university of maryland, a couple of months ago, rate is the tournament was starting called the caitlin clark effect. and the third question i asked and would have been on second question if i hadn't had a follow up to the first, was if everything is the same about caitlin clark hey, everything the way she shoots everything except for her skin color, would it be different and on the panel everyone agreed it would be different to varying degrees. i think that's important to discuss having said that, i do believe that the position that caitlin clark plays obviously the guard bringing the ball off the court, shooting those logo 3s. she is the high wire act at the circus. she is the trapeze that and grandmothers in the produce section j cu don't know anything about the wnba or the nba or anything they can relate to that position. and to watch those thrilling moments. whereas someone like angel reese, who is obviously a great player herself, she's under the boards. she's under the basket throwing her elbows around, getting position as she should be and doing it very well with maybe four or five other players, much more difficult visually to see. i do think that is also part of the conversation that's obviously caitlin clark's appeal, especially because she's so good at those logo threes. >> what do you make of the argument? some folks say caitlin clark's teammates are not doing enough to support her when she gets knocked around what do you make of the team's dynamic and chemistry? >> yeah. and that's the question of the enforcer, right? jp, where was someone to come and give a hit? right neck to kennedy carter. well, aliyah boston, the rookie of the year last year, who would she and caitlin are working well together on a team that obviously setting really tough start in a very, very difficult schedule. aliyah boston was the closest one to being there, but i think she had five files at that point. so if she had done and given an elbow two harder, she probably would have been out of the game and the fever won the game so it made sense to have boston in a close game and i talked to meet the caching for a usatoday column itself right now. and she's the hall of famer, played it indiana for 15 years. and what she told me is sometimes it takes awhile for a team to get to know itself. and to have someone emerge as coarser. and this team is so new. >> and these players obviously caitlin clark was playing college basketball two months ago. >> and so many young indiana fever players don't know each other get and they've only had a couple of practices because of the crazy schedule. so i think what to make of caching is saying and i think she is as good as anyone to talk about it. it's sometimes this takes time i'm 14 to gel and for someone to come out and say, okay, enough is enough quickly if you could, because we're out of time, but there's also a narrative that look, we're talking about them the trash talking, the physicality, a flagrant foul, greats rivalries brings in viewers. what about that exactly for sure as long as it caitlin clark doesn't get injured in the process i mean, she's just was named the wnba rookie of the month she is really had a great start forth and assist 18th and total points, points per game and she's sitting those threes, she's made some mistakes of course, but the last thing you want is to win i'm just caitlin clark at this point and i think that's why the league has jumped on this and made it clear that this was unacceptable i think it's exciting that we're talking about the wnba, christine brennan, thanks so much. the life twist for a formal federal prosecutor up let up next my conversation with him

and life no ordinary campaign this is our closing arguments for our lives how did the idea for the documentary come about? i was a bit unwilling at first, but ultimately he convinced me he made the case that it would be really meaningful to open up our lives to tell her own story and through that storytelling, to have a real impact on the disease through their non-profit. i am als, brian and sandra are having an impact acknowledged by president biden in late 2021 when he signed the act for als act to fund research for als treatments and prevention to brian asunder thank you. thank you.

mean, i'm leaning on brian most of the de is your goal is to turn als from a fatal into a chronic disease, making it something that can be lived with is that a realistic goal? can that happen? will
