If i was in my car for five more seconds i would not be here right now. Its a disaster here. Major the Cbs Evening News starts now. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Im Major Garrett in for norah. We will have more of the deadly storm and the widespread damage in seven states in a moment, but first, breaking news, with a wave of Political Developments revolving around former president donald trump. Just over a week before it was set to begin, a new york judge has delayed trumps first criminal case for 30 days. Trump faces 34 Felony Counts for falsifying Business Records related to payments to adult film star stormy daniels. Plus, in a significant ruling in georgias election interference case against the former president , a Fulton County judge has decided the District Attorney fani willis can continue to prosecute that case. But blasted willis for what he called a tremendous lapse in judgment for having a romantic relationship with one of her top prosecutors. That Special Prosecutor has now withdrawn from the case. Cbss Nikole Killion will start us off tonight from outside the courthouse in atlanta. Nikole, good evening. Reporter good evening to you, major, and its not just this new delay in the new york case, but this election case here in georgia has effectively been put on hold until todays ruling by a judge, effectively clearing District Attorney fani willis to proceed. Fulton county judge scott mcafee gave District Attorney fani willis an ultimatum today either step aside from the 2020 Election Subversion case, or have her former romantic partner, Special Prosecutor nathan wade, withdraw. Within hours, wade tendered his resignation, effective immediately, to move this case forward. The former president hailed the move on truth social, calling wade a disgrace. He had to. There was no way that it was going to be the elected District Attorney of Fulton County fani willis who was going to step down after this decision came out. Reporter the judges ruling found trump and the codefendants who filed the complaint against willis and wade failed to prove a conflict of interest. There was no evidence, according to mcafee, that willis benefited from her yearlong relationship with wade, which included trips took the caribbean and california, but the ruling did include an appearance of impropriety. Mcafee was critical of willis conduct, citing a lapse in judgment, calling it last month unprofessional. Dont be cute with me and think you are not going to get an answer. Reporter mcafee also said willis and wades testimony did not put concerns about their relationship to rest. It was not kept secret, it was kept private. Reporter and he invoked southern Playwright Tennessee williams by writing an odor of mendacity remains. From time to time, you see judges wax a bit poetic in their opinions. He could have just said, i think there was a lot of lying going on in here, but instead, he described it in more colorful terms. Reporter the ruling comes after mcafee struck down six charges this week in the election interference case, including three involving the former president. Scott grubman represented kenneth chesebro, who worked to overturn georgias Election Results and pleaded guilty last year. It means the case goes from almost impossible going to trial before november to actually impossible to go to trial before november. Reporter former Vice President mike pence split with former President Trump over his efforts to pressure him about the 2020 election, and tonight, pence said in an interview he will not endorse trump because he believes he is pursuing an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda.

Tonight, prosecutors say they will not file criminal charges against a 32yearold man who shot a 36yearold man in the head on a crowded new york city subway.

Says so far, evidence points to self defense. The wounded man who brought the gun on the train remains in critical condition. A Top White House official says he is cautiously optimistic that ceasefire talks between israel and hamas are moving in the right direction. National security Spokesman John Kirby says the new hamas proposal, of 700 to 1,000 prisoners in exchange for israeli women, children, and elderly hostages, is within the bounds of what the u. S. Considers reasonable. We get more on this and efforts to get more aid into gaza from cbss chris livesay. Reporter with the u. N. Warning it is a quarter of the people in gaza who are at risk of famine, these aid trucks and this passage into the war zone are a lifeline, albeit an imperfect one. What we are seeing is aid going into gaza by the truckload, but what we are not always seeing is it getting to the people who need it fast enough or getting into the right hands at all. If they cannot collect and desperate. Reporter but arent aid groups getting shot at over there . Is it fair to put that burden on them . We acknowledge the dark challenges. But mostly, they are distributing for the last two and a half weeks without any violence. Reporter additional aid is on its way by see for the first time in this war. More than 100 tons from europe arriving today of a humanitarian ship. But that is not slowing down israels potential assault into rafah, even though the west and the Biden Administration have warned against it. Today, Prime Minister netanyahu approved plans both for an offensive and an evacuation of civilians. The assault itself is believed to be at least weeks away. Unless there is a ceasefire in exchange for hostages held by hamas for five months, to the fury of israeli protesters. We cant leave them there. We just cant. This is our family. Is our fami. Okay . Reporter to get them back, sources at the ceasefire talks in doha tell cbs news that hamas is now demanding the release of up to 1,000 palestinian prisoners and a pause in fighting. So far, israel says thats unrealistic. Nevertheless, israel is attending ceasefire talks in doha. The white house says it wants that ceasefire for two reasons to finally bring israeli hostages home and to get additional aid to the people of gaza. Major . Major chris livesay, thank you.

Tonight, President Bidens Top White House lawyer is suggesting that House Republicans move on from their Impeachment Inquiry into the president and his family. In a letter to House Speaker mike johnson, white House CounselEdward Siskel said the records, the testimony, and even republicans own witnesses, have shown no evidence of wrongdoing. In a cbs news investigation, Scott Macfarlane takes a look at someone who helped prompt the Impeachment Inquiry. A former fbi informant named Alexander Smirnov, now charged with lying to investigators. Reporter this old drivers license photo was our first look at Alexander Smirnov, the shadowy figure who developed a longstanding relationship with the fbi as a confidential human source. Even a trusted fbi informant has alleged a bribe to the biden family. Reporter smirnov told the fbi President Biden and his son hunter took millions from a Ukrainian Energy company. His claims were made public and championed by the president s critics, leading to an Impeachment Inquiry. I trust the whistleblower. Reporter until the Justice Department charged smirnov last month with making up the story, undermining the impeachment effort. And what did you make of when the fbi charged Alexander Smirnov with telling lies . I thought, if you want an informant who is going to lie for a criminal conviction, they got the right guy. Reporter Criminal Defense AttorneyJoseph Benincasa warned the fbi in a Sentencing Memo when smirnov was a key secret witness in a case against his clients. You write, the Continental Human Source was known to the United States as a liar and a fraudster. You think it was known . Wthout a doubt. Reporter what happened when you warned the government about him . At first they didnt believe us. Reporter benincasa says when his clients filed a civil suit against smirnov and threatened to dispose him, the feds cut benincasas clients a better deal. They should have cut ties with him years ago. Reporter former Justice DepartmentInspector GeneralMichael Bromwich says the new charges against smirnov could imperil other cases. I think a review has to be done to find out not only what happened here, but whether there is a systemic problem. Reporter he also worries about the precedent set by lawmakers who pressured the fbi to release smirnovs claims. This information is, by its nature, unreliable and unverified, and shouldnt be in the public domain. Reporter smirnovs attorney issued a statement to cbs news saying smirnov is proud of his yearslong service to the department of justice and the United States. And major, the fbi declined our request for comment about its handling of Alexander Smirnov. Major compelling reporting. Scott macfarlane, thank you.
