Thats a big goose egg for ted cruz. Trump told his supporters, though, this win was special. I have great, great admiration and praise for the city of new york and the state of new york. I can think of nowhere that i would rather have this victory. Lets talk about the democrats. Hillary clinton claiming a big victory in new yorks democratic primary, propelling her ever closer to clinching the partys nomination. Cnn projects she will triumph over Bernie Sanders in her adopted home state. Here are the numbers. Hillary clinton, 57 of the vote. Bernie sanders, 42 . 15 margin. As for delegates, clinton is projected to add 139 to her total, bringing that to 1,930. She needs 453 more delegates to clinch the partys nomination. Well, it was a much needed win for clinton after losing eight of the last nine contests to sanders. In this campaign, weve won in every region of the country. [ cheers and applause ] from the north to the south to the east to the west. But this ones personal. Cnns mj lee
A world war ii vet himself. First, lets get to Scott Mcclean with the very latest on these developments in the past 24 hours. Scott, there has been another new development. It has to do with that proposed Bernie Sanders, donald trump debate. It is now off. What happened . Well, there was never much doubt that Bernie Sanders would take part that that debate. It was his campaign that ornlly floated the idea. The first was donald trump. Trump decided to back out. Now that i am the presumptive nominee, it seems inappropriate i would debate the secondplace finisher. Bernie sanders is still pushing trump to change his mind. He said this today on the campaign trail. Donald trump initially said yes and then he said no. Then he said yes and then he said no. So i think for a guy who changes his position so many times, i would hope he would change it one more time and say yes. Now, debate or not, sanders path to the nomination is extreme extremely unlikely on this point. On his wedding anniversar
Talk about all of it, lets go first to jeff zellny at the white house. What are you learning about what he said today . The president asked his chief of staff to go before the cameras today to quell so much of the questions here that have been going on about all of the things in the west wing, staffing, other matters. This was the president urging and asking his chief of staff, whos quite camera shy. Which is pretty striking when he walked out into that press Briefing Room to make that first appearance there. He was on the order of the president. Anderson, tonight im told by this white house official, the president thought he did a good job by putting to rest some of the speculation, and of talking about the serious matters here. I was struck by how much the chief of staff sounded like the president. He talked and railed against the false reporting in his view, the media in his view, he did not addre address, however, the tweets or the statements or the issues from the president himsel
Called President Trumps lawyers and said he could no longer share information with them. Perhaps signalling that flynn may be negotiating. Some sort of plea deal, or perhaps, as the New York Times says, could be perhaps cooperating. We dont know for sure. Now, people weve talked to werent ready to draw the conclusion that flynn is cooperating. Let me read to you part of a statement from President Trumps lawyer, which says, no one should draw the conclusion that this means anything about general flynn cooperating against the president. Jay sekulow, the attorney for the president , told us. Now, flynn is, as we know, the former National Security adviser. Is under investigation for his lobbying work on behalf of turkey, and also his contacts with russia. It was the former general attorney general, sally yates, who back in january went to the white house alarmed at flynns communications with the russian ambassador, which ultimately led to his firing. Because he lied about it to the vice pr

Youre in the situation room. Tonight cnn has learned that President Trump and his lawyers have huddled for three consecutive days reviewing written questions from the special Counsel Robert Mueller about possible collusion with russia during the 2016 campaign, and mr. Trumps anger at the probe is boiling over right now with the president lashing out in a tweet at mueller, his team and the investigation itself.

First, lets go to our senior White House Correspondent pamela brown. Pamela, the russia investigation is clearly very much on the president s mind. Reporter and thats right, wolf.
