now that s you re going to see the impact that has over the next five months historic verdict is in donald j. trump, the 45th president of the united states. has been found guilty by a jury of his peers on all 34 new york state felony counts of falsifying business records, tides of the alleged stormy daniels hush money cover-up, i guess we can remove the word alleged from that. the is now a convicted felon, even as he is running to return turn to the white house. mr. trump left the courthouse a short while ago. he will be sentenced on july 11, literally just days before the republican national convention convenience of course, donald trump and his lawyers will appeal this conviction but as of now and they cannot appeal until after sentencing july 11, and as of now, 12 jurors for a manhattan 12 12 of the president s peers have made a monumental decision finding the former president of the united states, donald trump, guilty on all counts. we are standing by for a news conferen
people don t quite know who to get into power. but one of the things i m being told, also, is that the shiites are genuinely terrified still. they are very afraid what will happen now is that the sunnis might think they can again take over. bobby, i mean, you ve worked in iraq for a long, long time and known maliki for a long time. do you have belief he s the leader that can reach out to sunnis and reach out to kurds. no, anderson. he s had plenty of opportunities to do that and he s doing none of it. he hasn t been doing it in the last 7 two hours when the pressure is great to do so. when it s clear his policies aren t succeeding, he s not shown flexibilities. i ve known him for a long time. i met him before he was considered prime minister candidate and even back then, he was very much a shiite partisan and his policies in government have remained consistently
the same time, while this is a cautious move to send in military advisors, anderson, senior administration officials explained they are going to be going in advisors and teams of 12 or so when they go out with iraqi forces to advice them and consult with them. that does potentially open them up to some danger and that is why senior administration officials were saying today that these advisors have been granted immunity unlike the situation that occurred between the u.s. and iraq back in 2011 and that if they need to, they can fire back in self-defense, anderson. arwa damon, as you know, the shia lead government wanted air strikes by the united states to help military on the battle field. i m wondering what the response up north was to the president s comments today and the idea of sending in advisors. well, the kurds are viewing
the complexity of the task that they are assigned to do. kind of working on multiple fronts. what do you see as their key objective this time around here? well, i ll open the aperture a little bit, anderson, and say these guys are going to provide a lot more than people are talking about right now. they are certainly going to provide support to the iraqi security forces, that s what everyone is thinking about now but provide clarity to what is going on over there. i m listening to your reports with nick and arwa and they are talking about the numerous tribes and terrorist groups in the north and it brings back memories when she talks about them and 127 tribes that we once counted in the northern region, but those special forces and special operating forces will provide clarity as to what is going on. they will also have good communication packages. they will report not only to
the other question i had when i read that statement though, is how concerned would a terror group be about safely moving the material, i m not sure they would mind moving it if it s not that safe to do so. we ll have to wait and see. jim accost to, you were at the white house when the president was speaking. you pressed him about the possibility of mission creep, president obama saying 300 advisors, he said non-combat forces, probably green berets, navy saleeals, rangers going to baghdad. what did he say? anderson, another example of why president obama is a cautious commander in chief. he s really caught in a jam. he said american combat troops are not going to be fighting in iraq again but said it s in the national security interest of the u.s. to make sure iraq is not a safe haven for terrorists and he s keeping options open for air strikes but by the way, the options for air strikes could take place in iraq or syria. senior administration officials are not ruling that out and a
