oh, you guys. i know you like wrestling, so we got you some vip tickets. you have made an impact. so have you. for you guys to be out here doing something like this, it restores a lot of faith in humanity. you are live in the cnn newsroom, i m jim acosta. this just into cnn. law enforcement officials in florida say multiple people have been injured in the paddock mall after police responded to an active shooting situation earlier today. officials report the mall has been evacuated, but add there is no longer a threat at this time. authorities also said the suspect has fled the scene. police did not say how many people were injured or they did not comment, we should also note, on the severity of the injuries, but this is something we re following closely at this hour. it s a continuing, developing story, and as more information comes in, we ll bring that to you, as it develops, so, stay with us for all of that. in the meantime, we begin the hour, as well, with justice po
i m ari melber in for nicolle and i ll anchor for the next three hours right now with a lot of news breaking out of new york as the d.a. alvin bragg moves forward with two witnesses who faced this grand jury today, robert costello a legal adviser to that key witness we all know about, michael cohen. he s testified today at the request of trump s legal team. under new york law a person who is expected to be indicted which in this case may or may not be donald trump but in an abundance of fairness, that individual can request a witness appear for them before this grand jury finishes its work. so that s part of what we re following on this big breaking news day. today cohen also on hand, this weekend he said he would be back today to address what costello says making him the rebuttal witness and this, today, is his third appearance before the grand jury. so, that alone makes all of this a major day and probe that is quite near deciding whether or not to indict donald trump. so,
Encourages everyone to have of an open dialogue about issues facing children today. As you know mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well being, Healthy Living and the importance of responsible online behavior with her be best initiative. Her platform centers around visiting organizations hospitals and schools. And she would be open to visiting the i Promise School in akron. The i Promise School is the School Lebron james opened, who in an interview said he would not sit across from the president. The other part of the statement i find notable, ana, responsible online behavior coming on the heels of a tweet the president of the United States sent out insulting someone. Ana. Exactly. I also want to ask you, boris, about this familiar face. Someone who used to to work in the white house apparently spotted boarding Air Force One. What can you tell bus hope hicks showing up . Yeah, thats right, the former Director Of Communications for the white hou
that big names. emily kohrs went on the record saying people will not be surprised by the names. we ve heard from the five other special grand jurors, former grand jurors who ve said it s going to be a massive list. if you re looking athose interviews how could you not be worried about what could come? yeah. i want charlie to read to you another part of this because again, it s a massive filing and the first real substantive way they ve weighed in. they say trump was inexorably intertwined with the investigation since its insemgs, the efforts of investigation relate to his bid for a second term as president of the u.s. i wonder if that in your view is aimed more outside court than inside court. i don t think it s a serious claim that matters from 2020 are somehow a trigger sparked by his running for office. but there are people out in america who might think oh, gosh, if this is coming out now is it because he s running right now? kind of a non-legal or what we might call a pr argume
would. and sleep britain polarising for some and for others is a clear cut case of a great message but wrong way of putting it forward. yes. absolutely i think you re losing the pr argument and there is a video and circulating today of the woman mentioned in the story who was trying to see her sick mother whip and rushed to hospital in an ambulance and cannot get through and she caught them selfish and is quite difficult to look at that video and agree with that emotion and this is been a constant criticism of these protests. they are blocking emergency services getting through and that s with the start to lose the public argument. there are a lot of people i ve spoken to that he with their names and that this is a very serious problem that we need to take very seriously but on the other hand, it s pretty extreme, isn t it?
