trial, denying one of his motions to throw out the indictment. we're standing by for a ruling on the former president's remaining effort to toss the charges also, breaking trouble appears to be on track to score another delay in court this time in new york, manhattan prosecutors they're not opposed to pushing back. is hush money trial potentially until late april. and there's news out there on the campaign trail to president biden making another stop on his tour of battlegrounds states as vice president harris baza, historic visit to an abortion provider, becoming the highest ranking us official to do so welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer a year in the situation room the skis, >> cnn breaking news, let's get to the breaking news of federal courts slaps down one of donald trump's attempts to dismiss his classified documents case judge aileen cannon rejecting trump's argument that the charges were unconstitutionally vague. let's get straight to our chief legal well affairs correspondent, paula reid follow what is the judge saying about what you heard today? >> so wolf trump's lawyers have made multiple different arguments to try to get the classified documents case dismissed and judge, aileen cannon spent most of today hearing some of those arguments, but shortly after that hearing wrapped, she dismissed one of them outright and that was those argument that the espionage charges that the espionage act is so vague that trump wouldn't have known that he was doing anything wrong. in fact during the hearing, she signal that she wasn't buying that argument when she said it would be, quote, extraordinary to throw out this entire case based on that argument but wolf, we're still waiting for her to weigh in on some of these other challenges that they've posed. they've also argued that trump had a right to keep these documents that he believed that they were his personal records, but the special counsel pointed out that trump is on tape. he is. there's a recording into this case where he acknowledges he knows these are secrets and they couldn't declassify them once he left the white house. let's take a listen >> just totally wins my case, you know, except it is highly secretive since president i couldn't eat like now i can't get up, but this is judge cannon also seem skeptical of this argument saying, quote, it's difficult to see how this gets you to the dismissal of an indictment. but the biggest decision we're waiting on her to make wolf is when this case we'll go it's currently penciled in for may, but two weeks ago, she held a hearing about pushing it back. it's unclear how far back in that as you can see increasingly complicated and convoluted calendar, she will push it back, though i was down there in florida two weeks ago and it sounded like august would be the earliest, but right now, all eyes on judge cannon to see where she puts her case and incredibly critical prosecution on that calendar. >> the point at paula, is it looking like trump's hush money trial? will be delayed? >> it seems likely because we have consensus between the prosecution and the defense that this can be delayed. the question is, for how long and that'll be up to the judge. well, this case was supposed to start in just two weeks on march 20. this was the only case that is really has a date on the calendar and that most people were confident was going to go forward that's the first criminal prosecution of the former president. but this delay is based on the fact that both sides now need to go through tens of thousands of pages of discovery. so this is evidenced that was just turned over by federal prosecutors. so the trump team is asking for a 90 day delay. prosecutors have said they won't object to a 30 day delay, but now all eyes on the judge to see how far back heel push this. >> paula reid reporting for us. thank you very much, paula, are political and legal experts are here with us in the situation room for analysis. and laura, let me start with you. do you expect judge cannon will dismiss the second trump motion to try to dismiss as well >> i don't think that there is these support to do so. i think she's cautious in that area, but having the extraordinary measures to do so, imagine talking about the vagueness aspect of it. on the one hand, it would be extraordinary for a judge at this particular level to say a lot is so vague as not to be able to apply to criminal allegations on the second part of it in terms of whether president trump is pointing to argue that these were his own personal documents. he had every right to take them and keep them and maintain them and doubled down 10,000 times about about that. that would really undermine the presidential records act. and a very real way, i think she's uncomfortable with doing so because it's this point in time, is a contentious issue. it's not well-settled law for good reason. we don't have many presidents who have argued this very point for over periods of time. so i think her she'd be prudent to be cautious about dismissing on these grounds. and then instead turn to a jury instruction on some aspects. >> we follow up with you, elliot cost trump's legal team, as you know, has argued that he had the right to declare these highly classified documents it's personal documents and bring them along, bring them home with them. what's the significance of that? wolff that argument >> has been widely debunked by virtually every serious individuals. it was looked at this matter. it's the simple fact is and this is picking up on laura's point. there's a presidential records act that governs how presidents can hand handle items that come out of the white house. it is a simple fact. it is not for donald trump to decide individually on his own what foot fits under that and so on. now, if there are individual documents with with with what she might take issue with how they're characterized. there's a process for going through that and you can raise that with the national records administration or even in court if he's so wishes. but it's no president in american history has simply been able to wave a magic wand and say, all of these things are mine. these are exempt from the presidential records act. this goes back to however many decades as applied to brock obama, bill clinton, george w bush, and it's going to apply to down drop in o2 in court. >> yeah, i suspect personally, right. alyssa, what message is trump trying to send by appearing in person today when he didn't necessarily have to. >> well, for one, it shows us priorities. listen his his legal woes when he should be on the campaign trail, but he's also doing it. there's it's the silent bully pulpit of the former presidency. he's, he's there air so that the judge was one that appointed him sees this is a man who is powerful, who could be very powerful again, and i think it's hoping that it could prejudice the outcome. listen, we don't know much about this is not a highly experienced judge, especially in cases related to national security matters. but what i can tell you as when this case was brought, it was a one trump world was most afraid of. now if known it wasn't going to go before the election. but if you were to not win the presidency, this is something where there's actually quite a bit of case law of classified documents being mishandled. the facts of the case are incredibly damning. so he does care a lot about it. it's just not front and center and the political way that january 6, he worries could impact the election if it were to happen before he but he's very, very worried about the legal exposure war. he did not win the presidency. >> let me get a lengthy the way in as well on that political point, what kind of political impact and lindsay, do you think this is going to have assuming this trial goes starts this year will sign. >> i think donald trump won. he loves these delays because in the short term, it fouls up its base and lets them believe that they are an inside job against donald trump. but the closer that we get to election day and the closer that we have these trials to election day, whether or not there's a conviction. i think voters will go into the ballot box with that at top of mind, we also have polling that shows in any of the cases if he's convicted, that will well shifts some republican voters from him. so trump is trying to delay because he knows those things are not in his favor politically. however, in the short term, i do think it helps them just a little bit. but again, we're looking at closer to election day and seeing that contrast of your presidential candidate going on trial, that's actually not going to help him just like your rid of that as well. laura, let's turn to the new york hush money case right now. why are these records only being produced now potentially only a few weeks before the trial? >> that's the million dollar question at this point in time. discovery is so important when you are the prosecuting body, you have an opportunity and an obligation to provide any information that'd be helpful to the formation of defense because documents could include exculpatory information, meaning it could clear the person and tend to show that they are innocent of a crime, give them valuable insight and witnesses give them valuable insight into shortcomings and your own prosecutions evidenced but if you fail to provide that information, then you've given the other side ammunition to suggest there's something to hide. and so you are really over inclusive and indulgent and trying to write h and everything that seems to be the core of this particular moment discovering that there were documents it needed to be turned over. they have done so. they had been proactive in saying, we are open to having an extension for you to review the material, even without recognizing and maybe there is exculpatory information there and it could be inculpatory. that's problematic for trump and council. it is prudent to do this, but it is really concerning that at this a bit attempt hour i thought the 11,000 the tenth and a half-hour. this is happening. and i think it gives fuel to the fire that this is i'm going to be a feather in the cap of the defense. >> and moreover, this matter is going to be delayed whenever the prosecution and defense are largely an agreement about the need to delay a proceeding. it's going to happen now, i think the defense had asked for 90 days and the prosecution is now asking for thursday, but it would be remarkable for the judges say now what folks i'm sorry, i disagree. you have to go to trial right now. it's not happening. so it might gum up the calendar a little bit with respect to all of these various proceedings of are coming up. but this one matter that was going to be the one to go to trial first is not happening within the next month >> illicit away in on the politics of this >> alyssa is delaying this case and pushing it further into the campaign season. actually beneficial to trump. >> well, the reality is as republican voters simply don't care about this hush money case. they see it as opaque as dating back to 2016 is something that just doesn't really have a major impact on the decision they're going to make in november, whereas january 6 does. but this delay elliott and lower could speak to this better than me. it could run into contrast with the january 6 case, this calendar gets very complicated. and if for any reason this being delayed would mean that the january 6 trial would have to be delayed. that would be very helpful to donald trump because the last thing he wants as a verdict in the january 6 trial before election day? >> lindsey, i should democrats b. and all concerned if this is the only case against trump that goes to trial this year before the election. >> let's say, i think i actually agree with alyssa here on the fact that the january 6 case is the one that most people are paying attention to however, i do believe that regardless of which case it is that happens before election day democrats still we'll have an ability to paint a picture and to show a contrast because these cases do rally up our base, they do continue to show the existential crisis that donald trump would be should he have a second term. so ideally we will love this january 6 case to get to trial before election day. but even if it's just this one, i do think democrats will have a way to spin it around and make i'm sure that it works in our favor >> covering a lot of legal issues and political issues going into this election season. our guys thank you very, very much. just ahead, we'll go to

disqualify district attorney fani willis from overseeing trump's trial let's bring and seen as nick valencia is outside the courthouse worse, nick, how high are the stakes for trump right now? >> wolff, the last two months and the delays that it's led to in this case has unquestionably in a victory for the former president and getting fani willis removed from this case would be yet another significant significant victory for donald trump as he would all but guarantee that this trial would not go to trial before the election, but it wouldn't mean that this case would go away altogether. in fact, it would be in serious jeopardy though. it would be handed over to the prosecuting attorney his council. it's a nine-member panel of district attorneys and solicitors general, and it would be their task to find a new prosecutor if fani willis isn't disqualified, big questions though still remained particularly on timing, would the da's office be able to get this case back on track for a trial? before the november election for now, though, we wait we wait. will fani willis stay or will she go? judge scott mcafee is expected to make this decision. one thing that we do know is that it won't come in the form of a hearing aid issue. this ruling in writing, wealth, the golan cia reporting for us, nick, thank you very much. let's dig deeper right now. laura coates is still with us and we're also joined by amy lee copeland, a criminal defense attorney, and former federal prosecutor. uluru. let me start with you. what are you expecting and what are the consequences of disqualification? for her? >> well, this was a self-imposed deadline by this jazz because he's aware of how much donation is leaning in on whether she will remain the prosecutor. remember, it wouldn't just be her her entire office would be disqualified, meaning a new body, we have to step in and they're not beholden to decisions that she has made or even the grand jury indictment, it could go away, it could be reduced. defendants could be dismissed. or otherwise. so look forward to that and look ahead to that. but also the main issue this judge is going to be grappling with is whether is required to have an actual conflict of interest that rises to the level that it makes it impossible for the defendant to get a fair case in this action or is it the appearance of a conflict? >> with judges? usually the appearance of impropriety of the hint of impropriety. will that be enough here, the judge seemed to be entertaining at least some case law that suggested that he looked deeper into that issue. but if it's in a matter of an appearance versus an actual conflict it'd be some pretty uncharted territory. yeah. >> good point. indeed, emily, depending on how the judge the rules, what are the chances either side would have a successful appeal because, you know, there are going to be appeals from both sides depending on what the decision is. >> so well, if i'm not sure right now, it's whether they have a successful appeal as whether they have an appeal at all. georgia has an interlocutory are kind of an intermediate appeal provision that if the judge gives you permission and the court of appeals will take it, then they can hear the case with how the georgia court of appeals would hear this. they just have to issue a decision by the end of december of this year if the judge grants and intermediate appeal in this case that could effectively take the case, pass the presidential election, which would be in its own way a victory for the former president interesting, laura, even if fani willis is kept on the case, kept on the case, how difficult would it be for her to prosecute this >> case after all these revelations that have emerged. >> well, the big question is whether she ever intended to be the person who is in front of the jury. oftentimes the person who is the head honchos, so to speak, is not the person actually arguing the case in front of missouri and we don't know who is going to do that. but this has been an issue in terms of having a bit of a dramatic salacious hearing that people are well aware now of certain aspects of her personal life as alleged. but i think you'll find that juries can have a shorter attention span than people believe remember, she's also an elected official. they have chosen to have her there, but the big thing is she will have an election at some point there's a primary coming in may. she's already being challenged. so if she were to stay on this case, the two big questions, who should stand in front of that jury? will it be nathan wade, her or somebody else who does not have this sort of stain or will the jury pool? look past that because they were that is the person may have likely elected to be in that position >> jamie lee, as laura mentioned, fani willis, the judge mcafee are both up for reelection this year. how could this potentially potentially impact this decision? >> you know, it was interesting with the judge's timing golf because he heard the last hearing in this case on march the fourth march the 1st, excuse me, the primary registration or the qualification deadline in georgia was march the 8th. >> so i >> wondered if he was holding this decision past everybody's qualification week four a reason related to the qualification. >> but of course he has >> a great name recognition now he has drawn a challenger. ms willis has drawn to challengers, one of whom is not as serious as the other saying that he's just going to wait and see what's going on with this disqualification motion. >> emily koblin, laura coates, to both of you. thank you very much. let's note, laura will of course, be back later tonight, 11:00 p.m. eastern for laura coates live. we'll be

telling cnn she won't vote for trump in november, but is still undecided. on biden. >> would you say you're enthusiastic about biden and running again, right now >> vice president kamala harris, also

they need to tell women what is in their best interests meanwhile, the white house dispatching senior officials to chicago to meet with aerobe, muslim and palestinian american community leaders. this a part of the white house is ongoing efforts to reach key constituencies who are angry and concerned about the israel-hamas war that anger on clear display in michigan last month when more than 100,000 people voted uncommitted in the democratic primary fueled by a campaign organized by critics of biden's handling of the conflict. but some activists in the chicago area score scorching the white house for the outreach, writing in a letter, there is no point in more meetings and demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in gaza. >> wolff >> that michigan voter that we saw in the piece, who said that she had supported biden in 2020, but it's so far undecided for this year. it is only one person but does offer a window into one of the significant political challenges for the biden campaign. and that of course, is that the president does still remain deeply unpopular this is something that the campaign is hoping they can turn around, particularly as more voters start to notice and realize that it is going to be donald trump who is the other person on the ballot come november wealth, mj lee at the white house for us. thank you very much. let's get some more analysis now from our political experts and nia-malika. malika henderson, i'll start with you. bye. biden's trip to michigan is very significant in a comes as a new quinnipiac poll was just released about michigan on this de, right now, and it shows biden trailing trump when the independent candidates are also included in the poll. what does that say? >> listen biden is in trouble right now with his base. he has got to pee he's together this base. you heard the black woman there in michigan saying she's not going to vote for trump, but she's not enthusiastic about voting for biden, so they have got to turn that around, not even necessarily jazz up the base and make them that enthusiastic, but certainly make them enthusiastic about not voting for trump and not seeing an another trump white house when and part of that is going to be looking at these third-party candidates. you see in all of these matchups, there's a third party candidates are getting ten 15%. if you add them all together. and that hampers biden's chances. biden cannot win the white house if he does not win michigan. so you you see him there are in michigan, obviously in pennsylvania to what they've got a lot of work to do in rebuilding their coalition. listen, it's early still a lot more is going to happen, a lot more will come out about some of these third party candidates that are doing well in these pools or advocate junior might have a number two, who's aaron rodgers is his vice presidential pick. i don't think that's going to hello pam. so listen, they are doing the right thing by focusing on the blue wall. it's something you saw hillary clinton not do enough in 2016. and then obviously cost her the white house remember that as well. alexia, we saw the vice president, vice president kamala harris. she once again today put abortion rights for women front and center and she visited a planned parenthood abortion clinic first time a senior a top us official has ever done so you worked for planned parenthood. what do you make of that? >> less than it was a historic moment today? okay. i think there's some activists who were probably frustrated at this time in history it came now, but the vice president was built for such a time as this to be the first woman vice president in the first black woman vice presidents who go to a health center that provides abortion care is huge and monumental. and she went there on her fight for reproductive freedom. this toilet he's been on, this has been her six stops. she's been on 15 states. she talks about this issue all the time. and what she did there is what a lot of people love to see kamala harris do. and what she did in the senate is prosecuting the case. she is very clear about how she connects abortion to freedoms and our broader threats to democracy. and so this is just the beginning in the scratch of the surface of how we will see her talking about what the administration is doing to protect abortion rights right now, as well as what they would like to do if they're given four more years and a congress can be a big issue indeed coming up. alyssa farah griffin is with us as well, vice president harris directly blamed trump, as you know, for the rollback of abortion rights for women, saying he created a health care crisis. how much of a liability you think this issue is for trump and the gop, especially among women and independence >> listen, it's certain and mode, certainly a motivating issue. i think it's a smart way to use the vice president, but two words of caution in sort of the key battleground states that the biden-harris let's campaign needs to perform well and there's largely access to abortion. the state's most affected by the rollback of dobbs tend to be some of the southern states, but where she could have an impact, georgia, a key swing state where there's only access up to six weeks to go and prosecute the case there or someone somewhere like north carolina where there's only action access for about 12 weeks that's where i think you could see some movement with even moderate republicans and independents and women that are gonna be core to them, to them getting ahead. but the other thing that they need to keep in mind is abortion actually ranks as about fifth on priorities for voters, the economy, health care, border security above it. so it's gotta be an all-encompassing message which i think is what job so biden's doing. he's being scranton joe and focusing on the economy, but they cannot make the whole focus abortion or they'll risks losing. >> and i actually quickly just correct a little bit of that in the midterms, folks that that abortion wasn't a top issue, but it does turn out and the exit polling to be a top issue and a lot of people connected to the economy because abortion is an economic issue for a lot of voters part of the argument is in you mentioned this is about freedom and part of the argument is also what we're publications take away, what other rights will republican takeaway it's also sort of a catch-all for suggesting that republicans are radical on any number of issues. >> so >> it's like a gateway. i think catch-all issues and democrats and then i think pretty expert at articulating this, given that they've seen in all of these states when rho is up or dobbs is up, the pro-choice side, a wind. so it's not just this small issue, it's very much a broad issue, particularly for women. and it says something about republicans that they are so staunchly opposed to women having alyssa weigh in if she wants to add anything, you want. >> those are my only thing i would say and i don't disagree with any of that analysis is though we have seen abortion on ballots in red states like ohio and kansas, where women turned out in upheld abortion rights, but then voted down ballot for republican candidates. so there's, we still need more data to see it's certainly motivating issue to turn out. but whether it majorly affects who they vote for the top of the ticket, i think as an open question on another sensitive issue, nia-malika, let's talk a little bit about the outreach that the white house is now engaging in trying to meet with arab american, muslim american, palestinian american communities, including his cargo. yeah, today is this gonna be successful especially now that the biden administration is speaking more critically in public about some of israel's policy. >> listen, they've got eight months to turn these numbers around. we saw some of this discontent that muslim americans and eric americans have with his white house. we saw it show up in minnesota. we saw it show up in michigan, which is a state or something think like 150,000 arab americans voted in 2020, largely supporting biden. they're going to need that again. so these talks are going to be ongoing. you saw early on that a lot of folks in these communities didn't want to even engage with folks from the biden administration. i think things are changing a bit. you solve, for instance, ea hall, ilhan, omar come out on two on tuesday on abby phillip show and say that she is going to back biden in november if if the if the election were held today, she would vote for biden. so that's a good sign. we've got more work to do on this. >> we do. all right, guys. thank you very, very much. so just

learn more. meanwhile, here in washington, the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, a longtime supporter of israel, and the highest ranking jewish american lawmaker, is calling for new israeli elections. and he's slamming prime minister mr. benjamin netanyahu. listen. israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah, nobody expects prime minister netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence. i believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of israel at a time when so many israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government our chief congressional correspondent, manu raju, was joining us from capitol hill right now. monae, why is senator schumer speaking out so forcefully right now? and what's what's the reaction >> create an uproar among republicans and large reason why is that? chuck schumer has long been an israel hawk. in fact, he is aligned himself with bibi netanyahu on so many issues in the past, including opposing barack obama's iran nuclear deal at the time in 2015, schumer was one of the few prominent democrats who speak out against it. but this time much different. there is anchored in the democratic caucus. in particular about the way that this war has been waged and calls for greater action by the united states tried to rein in israel's acts or provide more relief and humanitarian relief to palestinians impacted and along the gaza strip. now, in talking to democrats today, they're making clear, even the ones who are aligned with chuck schumer on the issue of israel, that they are supportive of what he's doing as republicans accuse him of interfering in another country's elections >> israelis need to decide whether it's time for new leadership. and i think that senator schumer's speech indicates that there's an urgency about that decision by the israeli, what is leader schumer doing injecting himself, israel, israel politics. again, i think it's just beyond the pale. >> i'm very upset. i don't think that leader schumer should be inserting his ideas and throwing now, add israel or are in the middle of a war >> and the senate republican leader went to the floor and said it was quote grotesque and hypocritical for americans who hyperventilate about foreign interference in our own democracy and do it in the other. now wolfe, this all comes is billions of dollars in aid to israel continues to be stalled in congress in the house. they have not acted on a broader aid package because it's tied to aid to ukraine. republicans are divided on that. the speaker of the house has indicated that he wants to move forward with a standalone israel aid package, but that does not have enough support from democrats, particularly many who are aligned with either schumer even go further than schumer. and what conditions on aid or one no one no aid at all, which raises a lot of questions about whether that billions of dollars will actually make it to the israeli government, especially event you is still private minister, manu raju up on capitol hill house. i thought it was interesting that schumer i did point out during his 40 minutes speech on the senate floor that his last name schumer comes from the hebrew word shoah maire, which means guardian. and he said he's a guardian of israel, still considers himself a guardian of israel, despite these very tough words against the tiny our mountain with facts again, coming up, jury deliberations go into overtime today in the trial of michigan school

putin is virtually guaranteed to secure yet another term in power this weekend with russian presidential elections. now underway polls opening and russia's far eastern regions, just a short time ago cnn's brian todd has bore for us brian, how has putin been able to hold on to his job for so long? >> will the analysts we spoke to say there's simply no one better at this. there are so many levers that vladimir putin polls to maintain power. he controls the entire electoral process. he dominates the russian media. and if he has to, he eliminates his rivals he's already the longest-serving ruler of russia since the dictator joseph stalin. and he could easily eclipse stalin's nearly 30 years in power is there any intrigue of whether vladimir putin will manage to win yet another election? >> 100% certain that vladimir putin will remain the president of russia. >> where does she, still analysts say the former kgb colonel has rig the system. sometimes not so subtly. so that only he can emerge victorious. starting with eliminating legitimate opposition like boris nemtsov, who was gunned down at the foot of the kremlin in 2015? and alexey navalny, who recently died very mysteriously in an arctic gulag, though the kremlin has denied any part in it, what navalny decided to do was he was going to set a template, set an example for the russian opposition that if you go to play this game, have no illusions. this is a game to the death >> one opposition candidate who did get approved later still got disqualified only three other candidates were ultimately allowed to appear on the ballot. token opposition analysts say their numbers and their fates i've already been decided and their presence on the ballot is billing to make it have the appearance of an actual election. >> yet the kremlin is making great efforts to promote the vote ads for putin running on tv, polling stations set up nationwide. there's even voting in parts of ukraine occupied by russia which goes against international law. >> they're going around literally with ballot boxes to people's houses in some places, urging them to vote. >> the kremlin may have little reason to worry with near total control of the media and the voting. but the turnout of the funeral for navalny showed that there are still russians willing to take great risks to support four navalny before he died, said that everyone should go at noon on that final day and just stand in front of the polling stations. now will be interesting to see how many people do that in what parts of russia analysts say russian voter apathy from decades of being worn down by fraudulent elections helps putin as to his messages to the public, appealing to their paranoia, he has to alternately say, we are surrounded by enemies and they are external and internal in vladimir putin's model hi and that he is the person who can protect russia and >> even if some votes against him gain critical mass, if he's has maybe too few ballots, they'll, they'll create some votes for him. so it's a very corrupt system. i'm three days gives them the leeway to do that. >> we show has been given how heavily putin has tip the tip the scales, what are the most likely ways that his rule will actually end? analysts say the more realistic scenarios include a popular uprising, which is less likely a coup or putin simply dying on the throne. the most unlikely scenario they say is what amir putin actually being voted out of office, wolf. >> quick question, brian, now what is this calculation for trying to manipulate the the perception of the turnout? well, the turnout is >> really key in >> putins mine and the kremlin's mine. they've always had this thing called the 70, 70 formula. they've pope portrayed it as they can get 70% of the electorate out to vote. and that he can win with 70% of the vote. that's what they claimed happened in 2018. it's to create the perception that even if this was a fair election, he's got huge support that people love him. now he does have significant support and russia, but not 70, 70 interesting bryan todd reporting for as well. thank you very much, brian, for that report. finally, tonight, a mix
