Representative climber, and thank you so much for taking the time this morning with us. Appreciate you. Thank you very much for having me and new our have seen a new central starts right now donald trump back in court, phone calls secretly recorded by Michael Cohen shore to take center stage and moments ago, the nypd pd clearing out a Protest Encampment at nyu and also word of new arrests at another school, The New School in New York City, the crackdowns on College Campuses can an incredible video showing a huge tornado touching down in texas. The Severe Weather threat though, is still not over 7 Million People hello, are under watches and warnings in the south today. Im kfold on the sarah cider and john berman. This is Cnn News Central all, right any moment now, donald trump will be leading. Trump power as he has done every day of court this third week of his Criminal Hush Money Trial is wrapping up today this morning. Ill Forensic Analyst returns to the stand to wait in all the authenticity of several Phone Conversations that former trump fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen secretly recorded in one of them. Trump is heard telling cohen two hey, with cash for a Hush Money Deal with former playboy model Karen Mcdougal. Theres also a recording of cohens phone call with Stormy Daniels former its her former attorney Keith Davidson, who has been on the stand for a couple of days now, the crossexamination of davidson turned very tense as the defense tried to paint him as an extortionist profiting off celebrity deal cnns Brynn Gingras is outside court for us brynn, each sides use be using these recordings, trying to use them, of course, to their own advantage. How important, important to have they been for the prosecution in particular, yeah, it wasnt. The prosecution has to show two jurors that trump knew that these payments were being made as Hush Money Payments, right . Those are the charges against him are the false value the Business Records before this election and that he knowingly did this. So thats why these records according is are being brought in right now to make that point in one of those conversations that was played for juror jurors, it was between Michael Cohen and Keith Davidson. And davidson testified that cohen essentially toll or that trump is essentially told trump that he hated the fact that we did it in regards to Stormy Daniels nondisclosure agreements. So that was an important one for jurors to hear. Another one was that conversation you just pointed out between Michael Cohen and donald trump for the first time jurors heard trump in his own voice take a listen to that what about me . And i cant even tell you how many times he said to me, you know, i hate the fact that we did it and my comment to him was but every person that youve spoken to told you it was the right move . All right all right. So thats a different actual recording that was played. Thats not the one that we actually hear donald trump, but in the one you hear donald trump, but he essentially is talking about the deal with Karen Mcdougal and the payments that happens between cohen and david pecker, who was a witness on the stand earlier in this trial. So again, this is so important for prosecutors to lay out for jurors as this trial continues on the defense side, they were admitting audio tapes as well. Basically, the defense was trying to show that cohen really wanted us spot in the white house and that they hid these deals were advantageous to him. So there was a lot that goes into those recording. I suspect we might even hear more as we continue hearing from testimony of from a Forensic Analysts who was on the stand when court adjourned yesterday, but really quickly, sarah, as you mentioned prior to that, we heard some really tense crossexamination of Keith Davidson, the attorneys for Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal, where the defense was really trying to show that he has a pattern of helping a shady clients try to get money out of celebrity they brought up the names of whole colgan and Lindsay Lohan and charlie sheen. So certainly got some heated moment. Is there in court, and well see how that all plays out today. Its actually going to end a little bit earlier today because one juror has an appointment. So a short break about 3 45 today . Yeah. We can certainly expect more of this. The defense trying to impugn the reputation of Keith Davidson. I have no doubts that the same thing will be used against Michael Cohen. If and when he takes the stand. Thank you so much. A bridge and gretel, youre reporting out there, john, weve got some breaking whether developments 7 Million People under flood alerts from texas and lifethreatening floods and severe storms have already retallack, including a tornado that obliterated homes and holly thats northwest of abilene. Now, our rosa flores is on the phone right now. She isnt new. Kanye, texas and rosie, i understand its actually two Tails Interests for you to get out of the car. We have a shot from your vehicle. What do you tell us whats going on around you youre absolutely right, john. Good morning. Yes. Authorities are describing this Weather Event as life threatening, there are already some schools in the area that have closed and this is impacting multiple counties. But let me start where we are. And like you said because of the light area, its not safe for us to get out of the cars, so were showing you a picture of what the area looks like through the windshield and this is the area that has been declared a mandatory evacuation duration by the Top Executive of Harris County county judge lina hidalgo. Now, this area and we have a map of it to show you the impacted areas. So this includes both Montgomery County and also northeast Harris County, and it includes the northeast Harris County portion ill towards lake houston. Now, this is a very big area the San Jacinto River is just to the east of where we are and this is the east fork of the San Jacinto River. And just to give you some perspective, is expected to peak at 78 feet above sea level and for context during Hurricane Harvey, which was an exceptional rain events, the area peaked at 81 feet above sea level and theres a creek nearby the kanye creek waterlevel, there rose about 20 feet in latin, less than 20 hours. And so the water is rising very quickly now this is a multi county event and we have video from various counties. You can pick a look at your screen because there are areas that were there are homes where there are businesses, where water has been rising and a lot of the waterways in the tributaries that lead to lake houston and other lakes in the area are being impacted. And as those areas swell, that is whats really impacting some of the residents that live in those areas. Now, Texas Governor greg abbott issued a Disaster Declaration and dozens of counties across the state that have been impacting impacting this area. Now, what is causing . Its a combination of things. Its not just a precipitation theres been a lot of water dumped during a very short period of time, large amounts of Water Testing to waterways in the Drainage Systems in this area. But theres also the water being released from the lakes, any area theres a living from their snake, chondro that are being utilize right now to release area b, to release water because the lake levels are so high, they are dangerously high. And so of course, those that water is then drained south and its impacting those areas where residents live around these lakes live around these tributaries and waterways. And its becoming very dangerous and john, one other quick thing to mention is that the rain is not stopping. Were expecting rain all day today and even in through the weekend, i have to say rosa, weve been watching this shot from your vehicle while youve been talking. I think the water level is going john up on this street just since youve been talking and we were watching that vehicle come from the other end of the row behind you. This is exactly the kind of road you have to be very careful with right now because you just dont know how deep it can get. It almost seemed like that driver was trying to figure out where they could get to as the water level rises and the rank continues to pour down rosetta, you and your team stay safe, keep us posted because this situation, it looks like it is going to get worse over the next several hours dozens more protesters from portland to New York City arrested overnight.
