i don t know where this ends for ron desantis and how he gets out of it. at the precise moment when this story broke yesterday, that disney was abandoning florida and ron desantis was taking this hit, where was bob iger? he was at the cannes film festival, standing next to harrison ford at the indiana jones 5 premiere as they got a standing ovation. that happened at the same moment. bob iger won this round, to be clear, mika. it does seem like this is an unforced error. so many republicans attacking desantis here for undermining the whole credo of the gop as being the party of business. instead, trying to intervene with government. it comes as he is his whole pitch is to make america florida. well, he s on the extreme right of so many issues right now, and it seems to really contradict which is his other argument, which i know you re about to tell us about which is that he is the most electable of the republicans, that he can win nationally and trump can t. yet, he s boxed hi
right now compared to trump. but, you know, this has just begun. everybody who is other than trump and desantis are going to attack desantis because it s easier to attack desantis than trump. they re going to try to move ahead of him so they can be the viable alternative. this is a long way from over, and i think desantis has real trouble ahead. because there s a lot to attack him on. all right. before we go to break, we are learning that senator dianne feinstein of california suffered more severe health complications than previously disclosed. senator feinstein was taken to the hospital in february for shingles and was absent from congress for several months. she returned to the senate last week. according to her spokesperson, feinstein s diagnosis had triggered encephalitis,
get legal advice, but to hide something and since the key to the moral lago case is whether trump willfully retained, willfully retain classified documents. it s kind of testimony could be very important if the lawyer essentially was told by trump don t worry, i ll take care of it, you know, um and then drafted a document that said, we ve done a diligent search when he hadn t and he was in touch with trump to the opposite effect, then it could have some significance here. but it s very unusual judge gardner just to be clear the court rulings in washington correct me. if i m wrong. it means that multiple judges concur with the department of justice that they have evidence that former president used his attorney in the furtherance of a crime. and is there any other interpretation of this? no, not only that the speed with which they operated suggests that there really wasn t an issue here. right so judge howell issued the decision. she said that they the government said they wanted to app
moving case, the faster one being the federal classified documents probe last night we learned that the d c circuit court of appeals had just demanded legal filings from both sides by this morning arguments on whether to set aside attorney client privilege and compel additional testimony and trump and documents from that man, trump s attorney, evan corporate . by late this afternoon, the court had ruled against corcoran , who has source tells us is now scheduled to testify this friday. there s upholds what sources say the judge, barrel howls sealed finding that prosecutors have enough evidence to meet the crime fraud except exception to attorney client privilege, which is a rare thing evidence showing that corcoran s interactions with the former president were part of a possible crime that s stunning in and of itself and remarkable in the sheer speed of it all, so there s a lot to get to tonight. we start here in new york with cnn s paula reid. what is the latest we ve learned that the
more they hear about them, the more they don t like him. or how do you read that? look i think some of it is the impact of trump turning his his his training his fire on two santas and this is going to be you know, you poke the bear. the bear is going to poke you back, and this is something that santos is going to have to endure. presidential races are a gauntlet. and you ve got to run that gauntlet and part of the gauntlet on the republican side is that but on the other of the other hand, trump training is guns on the santis really signifies the fact that he believes de santis is his principal opponent, and for the half of the republican party that doesn t want trump to be the nominee than the santis looks more and more like the guy they should be with, and trump is certifying him as such, so if he can stand up to the fire of trump, this can actually strengthen him. thanks very much. appreciate it. coming up. okay? deadly missile attacks and
