Thousands of people packing streets to mourn the loss of the russian Opposition Leader, chance of putin is its a killer breaking out as they honor navalny. Emotional testimony in the rust accidental death trial. And Assistant Director admits he was named im john berman with kate baldwin. This is cnn news central we are standing by to see donald trump arrive at Federal Courthouse in florida. You were looking at live pictures of that right now. There is a hearing in his classified documents trial, and we will likely werent possible will you as soon as this morning when this trial might start Special Counsel jack smith now says he wants to start on july 8 later that he initially asked for it raises a ton of questions about what that means, not only for this case but also the january 6 case, the federal case against trump. One wonders if jack smith thanks it can even begin this year. Cnn, chief Legal Affairs correspondent is live outside that court in florida, were a lot paula is about to happen a lot, indeed, this is a highstakes hearing in arguably the most highstakes case for former President Trump. This is a case where he faces 40 criminal charges connected to his alleged mishandling of classified documents. Now, right now at this trial is scheduled so for may 20, but it is widely expected that that is going to be pushed back. And today, the judge overseeing this case, federal judge, a trump appointee, Aileen Cannon, has asked both sides hi, its to come here to court today to talk about scheduling at in the past few days, both sides have given an indication of where they might be willing to have this trial on this very crowded calendar. Now, as you noted, the Special Counsel has said theyd like to start this in early july know interestingly, trumps lawyers insist that their client, as he is campaigning for the white house, should not be sitting inside that courtroom. They argue that that violates his first but they offered up august 12 as a date when they would like to see this start, if it must. Now thats interesting because as we know the Trump Trial Strategy has its been to delay everything, particularly these federal trials until after the november president ial election. Why . Well, if trump is reelected, he could have as Attorney General dismissed so jack smith and both of these cases. So the fact that theyre asking that this trial, if it has to start start in early august is notable because it looks like maybe a little bit of gamesmanship, right . Take up space on the calendar to make it difficult to schedule other criminal cases. So all eyes today on judge Aileen Cannon as she weighs in on when this trial will start and former President Trump has not arrived yet, and we expect youll be here any minute yeah, some of the pieces this puzzle could be filled in very shortly, paula reid, thank you very much. Well talk to you again shortly. So from Florida To Georgia and just a few hours Closing Arguments are set to get underway and the effort to disqualify the Fulton County da fani willis from the Georgia Election subversion case against donald trump. Defense attorneys have been trying to prove that willis benefited financially from a romantic relationships she had with the lead prosecutor that she appointed in the case. Cnns zach cohen is outside the courthouse and atlanta has got much more on this. Zach talked about what you expect, what is expected with these Closing Arguments today . Yeah. Kate, look, were expecting Defense Attorneys and prosecutors to really make their Closing Arguments as to why fani really should or should not to be disqualified from the Georgia Election subversion case has looked the stakes really couldnt be higher if fani willis is disqualified, sources have told me that people inside the das office the concern the entire case could go away. Prosecutors on the other end of said, look, if fani willis survives this, shes asked for an august trial date and things would effectively to be back on track, so were talking about a very highstakes moment, the potentially pivotal in this case now today, like i said, Defense Attorneys are going to have a chance. One more chance to try to convince judge scott mcafee that fani willis either should or should not be disqualified. Take a listen to what scott mcafee said earlier this week when he laid out what he wants to see during todays hearing at this point, i need to start hearing the arguments in the law and what weve heard so far. If i think im able to reach a ruling based on that, i will. However, if i think that the proffer is going to make a material determinative point. We we can mirror open the evidence at that point but just the bottom line is on friday. I do. The intention is that were still sticking with argument mcafee acknowledging weve heard a lot of testimony and weve seen a lot of evidence be introduced by Defense Attorneys trying to disqualify fani willis. Anybody is also leaving the door open if he doesnt think that he has enough to make it isdigit after what he hears today, he could allow both sides to introduce more evidence dry convince them one way or the other. And zach, you have new reporting about an effort for prosecutors to try to introduce some evidence at the last minute. Can you talk to me more about this . You may remember stan brody, he is the Winery Worker who we found from napa valley who says that he witnessed fani willis paid cash when she had nathan wade, her top prosecutor, visited a winery in california and thats up a key part of Fani Willis Testimony and prosecutors have introduced an affidavit from Stan Brody Proteus statement saying yes, he witnessed fani willis used cash in his way and pay her own way and pay for nathan wade when they visited this winery, hes also offered to testify. He says but the judge doesnt accept the affidavit that he will show up potentially today and testified before the judge. So really a lot going on here, the potential for more evidence, that potential for today to be the closing stages but ultimately we know times of the essence and really the stakes for fani willis and for this case are really laid on the line. Its good to see zach. Thank you so much. John all right. With us now, cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, elie honig, counselor, thank you for being with us. I want to go back to whats happening in florida right now as we wait for donald trump to arrive there, jack smiths team now says they want to july day, Donald Trumps team says that august day thats actually not very far apart. Is it in what is the fact that there are so close tell you about what each side might be thinking right now. So don it tells me Different Things depending on which side were talking about from jack smiths perspective, what this tells me is he now is accepting the very high likelihood that hes not going to be able to try his other case, the washington, dc case around january 6, at any point before the election, because even if he gets this request, if he gets the florida the case, the Documents Case moved into july. Thats going to effectively block the calendar and make it impossible to try to the dc case from Donald Trumps perspective, its interesting to me because trump has been trying to get all these cases moved out past the election. One thing it tells me is Donald Trumps team is less afraid of the florida case. Theyre less afraid of the Documents Case Then The Dc case, the january 6 case, because their position on the january 6 case all along has been this case. These to be tried at one point, they said in 2026 now it seems that there is some willingness by them to try the florida starting in august. So that tells me theyre less afraid of that. They also may well see the florida case as a blockade which effectively will prevent the january 6 case from happening before the election. Do you think youre theyre less afraid of the facts of the maralago Documents Case, which i think a lot of people see is quite damning toward donald trump, or perhaps Something Else about the florida case great question. I think its the jury, not the facts thats driving Donald TrumpsTeam Calculation here. And by the way, rightly, so if youve ever practiced in federal Court Criminal cases, its all about the jury. I actually think the facts are stronger against donald trump in the florida case, the Documents Case, then they are in the january 6 case. But look at the potential jury pool. If youre looking at this, are Donald Trumps perspective, you got 5 of the vote in dc. That means 95 of the voters in dc were against you in 2020. But donald trump won florida. And even if were limiting it to the southern counties where theyre going to draw this jury pool. Donald trump gotten made 40 all of the vote there. So if youre thinking about what a florida jury is going to look like, inevitably, youre going to have a good sizable handful of donald trump voters and political supporters on that jury. Now, jurors was supposed to put, put aside their political and personal views, but there human beings. Take my word for it. They are going to act to some extent based on where theyre coming from. All right. Lets talk about this hearing, these Closing Arguments. We are going to see and this isnt the Georgia Election subversion case. These hearings about whether fani willis, the district attorney, and her prosecutors, may be moved off the case. Where do you think this stands . Elie, what are you watching for so theres been so much drama john, around this case and these hearings, but lets focus on what the key legal issues are here in order to get fani willis disqualified the defendants, meaning donald trump, mike roman, that people who are challenging or they have to show that she had some financial conflict of interests. Now, it doesnt have to be that she had some grand plan to get rich off this case, but their allegation is she hired her boyfriend, nathan wade to run this case. He made a bunch of money and some of it ended up being spent on Fani Willis Vacations and recreational outings. Now, the response from the da is, well, it all even now because she would pay for things in cash as we just heard from zach cohen, or she would essentially reimburse nathan wade. And so it all zeroed out. And so theres no conflict of interest. The second big point that were looking at here though, john, and this has emerged during these hearings, is what was the timing of the start of the romantic relationship between fani willis and nathan wade. And the reason thats become an issue is because fani willis and nathan wade of now testified under oath that the relationship, the romantic relationship didnt start until after wade was hired, but the defendants have offered some evidence quite a bit of evidence. I think that it started before the before nathan wade was hired. So thats another important issue. How high the bar here though, elie, how high is the bar for this evidence need to be . Yeah. So the burden of proof here is on the defendants it is on donald trump, mike roman is on the people who are challenging fani willis. They have to prove their allegations by what we call a preponderance of the evidence, meaning that its more likely or not, and thats a really important question, john, because ordinarily in a criminal case, the burden is on the prosecution and its a heavy burden beyond a reasonable doubt. But here the tables are sort of turns so that defendants are trying to disqualify fani willis. They have the burden of proof. All right. Counselor, you can have a busy day.
