Thank, you abby. That is it for me here on cnn prime time. Cnn tonight with laura coates starts right now. Great discussion, abby, as always. Good evening everyone, im laura, coates and welcome to cnn tonight. The man hunt is continuing. We are about to, weeks yes two weeks in and continuing to heat up even tonight. That is a prisoner now armed even more dangerous, so what is happening, tonight we have a live report with all the up to the minute development coming up. But i want to begin with Kevin Mccarthy, or should i say speaker mccarthy. Unilaterally ordering an Impeachment Inquiry into president joe biden. Even as republicans have yet to actually prove any allegation that he directly profited from his sons foreign Business Deals. It comes as the speaker is under enormous pressure from farright members of his own party, threatening to kick him out of the speakership if he does not move fast enough. These are allegations of abuse and power, obstruction, and corruption. They warrant
officials say hostage negotiations are getting close to the end. plus, president biden marks his 81st birthday as voters express concerns about his physical and mental fitness. the age debate intensifying with a presidential election now just a year and weeks away. welcome to our viewers. wolf blitzer is off today. i m pamela brown. you re in the situation room. and we start with a tense day in court with donald trump s legal team trying to persuade judges to throw out a gag order against him. let s get to evan perez. evan, the judge has expressed skepticism today. a lot of skepticism, pamela. these judges were grappling with an unprecedented issue. you have a criminal defendant who likes to speak out on social media and his political rallies. he s also one of the leading candidates for president of the united states. so one of the things the judges were grappling with was how do you protect jury yors and their personal information? how do you stop threats against a judge
arguments, the trial of the people of the state of new york versus donald j. trump is in the hands of seven men and five women, 12 jurors who will decide the first criminal case of a former president of the united states who weighed in just moments ago. mother teresa could not beat these charges. these charges are rigged. the whole thing is rigged. i mean that, mother teresa could not beat those charges. we will see. we will see how we do. today, white house saying a deadly israeli attack that killed at least 21 people in a tent encampment inside rafah does not cross the president s red line against a major ground offensive. questions though are being raised about whether israeli forces used american munitions in the strike. on the campaign trail, president biden and vice president kamala harris heading to philadelphia for a rally to try to shore up lagging support among critical a critical democratic constituency, black voters. good day, everyone. i m andrea mit
and huge data point or argument for more time for joe biden inor the white house. yes, probably. thank you, my friend. president biden was in normandy today commemorating the 80th anniversary of d-day, and while he was there he was asked about something totally unrelated, whether he would issue a pardon for his son hunter if the federal jury in delawarefe convicts the youngerf felony gun possession. here s how president biden responded. as ween sit here in normandy your son hunter is on trial, and i know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution, but let me ask you will you accept the jury s outcome, their verdict no matter what itdi is? yes. and have you ruled out a pardon for yourself? yes. pretty clear answer there, but again this is a yes or no question, and to be honest shouldn t be that hard to answer. joe biden as president with the power to pardon anyone he wants at the federal level will let his son go to prison if he is found guilt
minnesota. we really appreciate. thank you, lawrence. jane fonda gets tonight s last word. the 11th hour with brian williams starts now. well, good evening once again. day 55 of the biden administration and tonight we may be entering the most critical point thus far in our nation s fight to crush this virus. we re being warned that we could still see another surge of infections, even as the new data are out showing we appear to be headed in the right direction. the vaccine rollout is expanding. nearly a fifth of all american adults have had at least one shot. we re averaging nearly 2.5 million vaccines a day, while hospitalizations continue to decline, yet experts are sounding the alarm that we are not out of the clear, not by any means. the concerns are mounting that we are next going to see a spring break spike in cases, giving highly contagious variants a chance to spread in our country. that, plus a rebound in air travel has the administration s coronavirus team o
