Right now cnn stories this hour on opposite coasts of the United States of america and Los Angeles Police are Making Scores of arrests as they swept through and antifa the war in camp man in the heart of uclas campus. Im taking tapper washington. Youre watching sports, Cnn Special Live Coverage and im Kaitlyn Collins in new york mark where in minutes Donald TrumpsHush Money Trial is going to resume. My weeks ago, we saw the former president of the United States walking back into court where he has no choice but to sit and listen two witnesses tell a story in which he is the main character and for which he could potentially end up in prison soon. Keith davidson, who was the former attorney for the Adult Film Star Actress and director stormy david. Stormy daniels will go back under the oath in minutes. The judges also going to hold a hearing to consider if the former president has again violated his gag order for me more times. So you will be able to see on the left hand of your screen minute by minute updates from our reporters inside the courthouse. There it is. Even as we go live to the breaking news out of los angeles where we are again seeing tensions hit a Tipping Points seen and teams are on the ground and watching as police in los angeles load arrested Student Protesters and perhaps others onto buses cnns Camila Bernal has been at ucla all morning as police moved in to dismantle the campus encampment, i think at roughly 1 00 a. M. Pacific time, compelled to tell us whats happening now hey, jake, just moments ago, were hearing more flash bangs. We had not heard these flash bangs in a while and its unclear exactly where theyre coming from, but it is clear that this is still very active there are many, many Law Enforcement officers still on the scene. This is the current focus. Next to the encampment. What youre seeing is a group of protesters who were still shouting and screaming at Police Officers, still talking about divestment, still talking about the fact that they want to be heard and that theyre hoping that they are allowed to remain here. Theyre telling chp with this loudspeaker that they have been beating children. That is the language that they had been using towards these Police Officers. And its hard to see from where i am, but the group is large youre right in that area where the protesters are stairs going down. So we believed that that group is a lot bigger than what youre seeing on your screen. Again, it is just a line of Police Officers in riot gear. They had been here all morning and we saw them in circle this in camp get meant just to show you where the encampment is. Im going to turn around and show you what they cleared. This is the area that Police Officers cleared. This morning using those flash bangs and essentially coming in through all sides of the encampment. Men two then horner all of those protesters into one area. They tried Holding Hands and linking arms to try to Stay Together and avoid arrest but one by one, every single protester that was inside of this encampment was arrested by Law Enforcement. They were taken to nearby buses, which actually i still see a bus right now. So its unclear if theyre going to continue arresting people, but we do know that the people inside of the encampment had been detained and taken to those buses. And so again, the focus has now shifted to this area, which is still very much an active seen jake all right. Camila bernal at the campus of ucla earlier this morning, roughly 1 00 a. M. Pacific time were told police came in to take down the encampment their of the antiisraeli antiwar protesters will continue to check back on that scene as well as College Campuses throughout the country. But let us turn now back to whats going on in the courtroom, which is what kaitlan collins, why dont you handle that yeah. Jake just to get you up to speed, just in those few moments there as we were hearing whats happening on ususally tlas campus, donald trump has entered the courtroom. Prosecutors are there the jurys not yet in there because what is happening right now is prosecutors are making their case that donald trump has violated his gag order. Four more times. They are now going through this the judge theyll make their arguments and then trumps defense team will get up to make their arguments. Well see last time it didnt go so well for them because the judge did find that he had violated it nine times for instances are now up for discussion. Question im here with our chief Legal Affairs correspondent, paula reid and karen friedman, agnifilo, who is the former chief assistant District Attorney, in the Manhattan Das Office. I should note karen is of counsel for a firm that represents Michael Cohen, but she doesnt have any contact with them. She doesnt work on his case. Theres no restrictions on what she can say as were focusing on what trump can potentially say on whether or not hes violated his gag order i should note the first alleged violation is over trumps statement that was related to the jury when he commented and said the jury was picked so fast that was 95 democrats, paula, obviously, a statement that trump made with no base he says, but it does prevent him in this gag order from commenting or directing other people to comment on the juror. Yeah. This is arguably the most serious alleged violation because anything that was scare the jury away from you coming in doing their job, that is really at the heart of what the gag order is meant to protect people who are just doing their jobs are complying with their civic duty. Now, in addition to this alleged violation, theres three others that there alleging and all of these occurred before the trump find hit the judge fine to trump 9,000 a last week to the other two are two statements that are highly critical of Michael Cohen. And then another ambiguous statement about david pecker where he says hes been really nice. I know some people could say, well, whats wrong with that, but you could interpret that sort of intimidating in some contexts, which is why you have a gag order all right. Now the prosecutors are saying that the gag order was issued because of trumps persistence, attacks on the protected folks under the gag order goes on to say that trump, you use this is his platform here to criticize the jury seated in this case. And again, i think this is the most serious of the four alleged violations and the one that is gonna be the most difficult for his lawyers to defend. Yeah. Thank karen. Were seeing this picture. This is trump in court today. Every day we get a photo of him as he enters the room. I can tell you i was in the room the other de it makes a big difference to actually be in the room and to. Watch all of this happening until you see, you know, what americans arent seeing by not being able to go into the room. I mean, the public can but its a very limited amount of people. But, but on this front, jury is not in the room as this hearing is happening, but this is important here because the jurors had been at the forefront of wanting to keep them anonymous, but also to keep them safe from threats they are weighing this case. And the prosecution is now moving on to what paul was just mentioning there when he commented on that first witness, david pecker. Yeah. So for the judge, the jury talking about the jury protecting the jury as policy, thats like the third rail, right . Thats its one thing to talk about Michael Cohen, who often criticizes trump and trump is well say hes reacting to that. Its another thing though, to talk about the jury in any way. So i think what were going to see here is youre going to see the judge not only hold him in contempt, but hes the more important thing is hes going to really admonish him and say do it again at your own peril and look right now, thats what exactly the prosecutions arguing they say he knows what hes doing, that hes talking about the witness who was testifying, david pecker, and saying, well, hes night, so theyre basically saying its not just what he criticizes the witness even when he says something nice. I mean, thats we actually have the four moments that are at the heart of this hearing right now. I just want everyone to feel to listen to what trump has been saying about the witnesses and to his comments about the jury as well and what are they going to look at all the lives that did the last trial . He got caught lying in the last trial so he got caught lying, pure lime and what are they going to look at that thats yuri was pick so fast, 95 democrats the areas, mostly all democrat. You think of it as just a purely democrat area . Its a very unfair situation that i can tell you. My goal cohen is a convicted liar and hes got no credibility whatsoever. He was a lawyer and you rely on your lawyers so far davids been very nice and nice guy that comment that you heard there about Michael Cohen is exactly what is being discussed at this minute inside that courtroom as prosecutors are pointing to that and saying paula, that the defendant they say believes that the rule should be different for him yeah. They they do actually argue that they argue because he is a candidate for the white house, that anything he says is protected political speech and entitled to heightened protections that he should be able to punch back against people want like Michael Cohen who have made a career out of attacking campus so far that has not been a winning argument in this court, but i will say over the past week or so, we have seen trump even before he was fine and even threatened with jail by the judge. We have seen him back off of the prolific violations of the gag gag order. Instead, he goes after the District Attorney, alvin bragg, which is fine. He goes after the judge constantly, including yesterday, but instead, hes pivoting to having his allies attack some of the folks who are covered by the gag order. Now were learning that trump is leaning over and whispering to his attorney, todd blanche. Its prosecutors will lay out the alleged violations of the gag order and youll remember the last time we were in court for a gag order hearing. I mean, this did not go well for the defense. They tried to make those constitutional arguments and thats not what the judge wanted to hear. Sure. He wanted to go post by post. Now, the Prosecutor Says cohen and his credibility are a theme for chomp. Yes, that is absolutely not is absolutely its a theme for the whole case, like nobody but it seems the judge seemed to suggest in that ruling that i finding that trump did violated that. Maybe it wont always apply to Michael Cohen because Michael Cohen has been out there. He has been speaking in publicly and very critical of trump and saying these things that trumps team has argued, okay, he should be able to respond to this and karen, what theyre raising right now is when trump spoke to the cameras outside of the courtroom on april 22, the moment that you just saw there trump was campaigning last night and i was listening to his remarks in michigan, i believe is where it was. And theyre talking about how trump is able to speak outside the courtroom about Michael Cohen, who is expected to be a witness here and expected testified. Trump was saying he cant talk about this case at all, but he was on camera talking about the case at a rally. He is allowed to talk about the case he just cant attack witnesses or the other prosecutors on alvin braggs team that we can still dr. Alvin bragg himself exactly the judge just says, look, you can talk about the case as much as you want. You could campaign mean as much as you want. Just cant intimidate witnesses intimidate the jury. Thats where the judge has to keep control of his courtroom and the trial so that and he cant do that. And thats what hes doing here. And i think Michael Cohen preemptively said last week hes no longer going to comment on on this trial, on donald trump, and i think as you you pointed out in the Gag Order Decision last time the judge specifically said, look, this is designed to protect witnesses, but but if witnesses go after you, then it might be fair game for you to respond. I think youre going to see that todd blanche is slightly more prepared this time, then the last one because todd blanche is an excellent attorney, is a really good reputation and theyre making a point right now that a lot of this has to do with the timing theyre saying that this is the most critical time the time that the proceeding has to be protected because thats really what did the harb that is paula is a concern that the judge has made clear. He also shares that trumps speaking out can affect this trial, that it could disrupt this trial, whether thats a witness or a juror absolutely. Particularly when it comes to the jury, if you have some instance that creates a situation where jurors, a Critical Mass of them dont feel safe coming in. If you dont have those 12. And the defense likely would never agree to do it with just a latin. You could have a mistrial thats why that common of all of them are the most concerning. Now, theyre saying that the problem prosecutor saying that trumps statements are corrosive to the proceeding and the Fair Administration of justice and that is the spirit of why you have a gag order sound to prevent him for speaking to violate his constitutional digital rights. Its to protect the integrity of the process. Well, i was in the courtroom the other day and you see these jurors come in. They dont make eye contact with trump, and i should know, obviously were not going to describe them, but theres 12 jurors who sit in there. Theyre paying rapt attention to what is happening in these proceedings are watching very closely. You can tell they take their jobs very seriously here. Republic duties here, and i should note, the prosecutors are making the argument, pushing back on what you were just saying. Todd blanche is defense could be the same. Michael cohen is not Donald Trumps political opponent. Hes the witness in this case because theyve been arguing trump should be able to speak out, but theyre saying its not like you cant talk about joe biden. He is talking about Michael Cohen. The other prosecutors now saying that the defendants trying to make this bot politics, but its really about criminal conduct. And. They want to focus on the criminal conduct of the trial and have this jury render a verdict, whatever it is and the jury cant be worried about their safety they cant be worried about them, their Identity Being outed or the order verdict being secondguessed because people know who they are, thats thats really upsetting if the jury greek cant focus on the trial and the evidence that they have to worry about themselves. Thats distracting. And it actually can properly, in fact, the jurys deliberation. So the judge is going to do everything they can to protect against that. And thats why hes not going to allow trump to comment on the jury at all. Its so interesting, polo, when the jury leaves the room for the brakes or when the days over, none of them make eye contact with donald trump. They they love to him twice when i was in there and they just they filed right past donald trump his defense team at the table, and also the prosecutors, but they dont make any eye contact. Thats fine. Thats fascinating to me. I mean, he can be intimidating, but it just speaks to like you said, how seriously either taking this, theyre not looking to curry favor with him or get his attention. Now this argument though, from the prosecutors right now that hes trying to make this case about politics. I mean, lets just be frank. This case is about politics. Its about allegedly interfering with it. An election, you have an elected District Attorney sector suggested he would go after trump. Now, we have another update, the Prosecutor Says trumps attorney assured the judge last week that President Trump does. In fact know what the gag order allows him to do im not allow him to do. And again, the alleged violations were dealing with today happened about ten days ten days ago, and theyre not seeking jail time. Theyre making that clear. Theyre just they want those 1,000 fines, which is interesting because the judge was lamenting that he could not charge he could not find trump more in this case because he acknowledged it doesnt really make a big difference to trump to find them 9,000 will continue to see what the judge decides here as this hearing is going on, whether or not donald trump has violated his gag order four more times trumps attorney just stood up and is now going to defend his client. Will tell you what that defense looks like. And if its any different than last time you were watching cnns special live coverage how wed really having with jesse l. Martin.
