this hour, the combative cross-examination of michael cohen has donald trump's legal team picks apart his testimony in the new york city hush money cover up case. who will the defense call if anyone will, trump himself. take the stand. >> the former president has evolved on that question, plus israel's deadly strikes in gaza, local hospitals reporting at least 40 people killed. >> israel says they were targeting hamas war room imbedded in gaza. here, what winning? this is told cnn about the attack and a reversal from president biden announcing new tariffs on chinese goods, but didn't he knock trump for that when he was candidate biden will roll the tape let's start the hour with the hush money cover up case, though. cnn's paula reid, is that the court but in manhattan, paula, today the defense got its first crack at questioning michael cohen and they came out swinging they sure did jake everything cohen has said about trump i can and will be used against him in this cross-examination under this intense questioning from todd blanche cohen was painted as someone who is obsessed with trump, the defense attorneys brought up the fact that prosecutors have asked cohen multiple times to stop talking about this case, and he would not. >> they also laid out how he has profited from his relentless attacks on the defendant, including millions of dollars that he has received for his book deals for his part, cohen caught too much of this up. you're pretty steady on the stand though, as i'm sure you saw todd blanche was really jumping around a lot to a lot of different leinz of questioning and told this was tactical. his cohen's that year long preparation shin with prosecutor but here, defense attorneys trying to knock him off his game tomorrow, there's no court jake, the last time the trunk defense team had a break between their cross-examination. it was stormy daniels and they came back on thursday with a lot of new material after working long hours to continue to prepare. and also after getting some feedback from their clients. so thursday should be wild. >> earlier in the day prosecutors asked michael oh, cohen about the alleged crime that is at the heart of this case. these invoices that he wrote to trump that were reportedly fall also five to cover up the hush money payment to stormy daniel's ahead of the 2016 election. tell us what cohen had to say about that well this is some of the more sober testimony. >> it is the most important to prosecutors in this case cohen testified while prosecutors introduced or showed him each of these checks that he received in 2017, eventually totaling $420,000. and for each check, cohen confirmed that, yes. he falsified invoice saying that it was for legal services when in fact it was part an effort to pay him back for this hush money also give them a bonus and pay him back where some other money that trump owed him. now, he also testified to a meeting between trump, ally and weisselberg, the former trump organization cfo, who is currently in rikers and himself, were they agreed to this alleged conspiracy? the question now, jake, is whether defensive attorneys can do enough to undercut cohen's credibility to make jurors doubt his account of what happened in that meeting all right. >> paula reid, thanks so much. let's discuss with washington post justice reporter peri stein, who's the co-author of the trump trials newsletter. we also have with us criminal defense attorney bernardo vega, lona peri yesterday, you wrote that the jury in trump's trial for weeks have been told michael cohen is difficult aggressive, and even a jerk. but you think that jurors are seeing a kinder, gentler version of cohen on the stand does that include today when the defense got their shot at him, how did the kindler gentler cohen fair when faced with a tough inquisition? >> yeah it included today up until cross-examination started after lunch. what you saw is you saw todd blanche trump's attorney really do these rapid fire questions to really point out the lies that cohen has told in the past. instead of having these decisive com, answers he was a little more wishy washy. he said, oh, that sounds like something i would say or i don't recall, he seemed to remember a lot less this time around but i think part of the intent of that questioning was to be fast, was to skip around in chronological order and to get him a little confused. >> bernardo today cohen testified about the documents that were allegedly falsified. his invoices and the other ones that trump did to cover up the stormy daniel's payments before the 2016 election the falsification took place in 2017 this is the this is the crime at the center of the case. it's a misdemeanor it bumps up to a felony. if the jury buys the idea that this was done in furtherance of election interference from hiding this from, from the american people. do you think the jurors got all that i think so jake because when you think about it from what two michael cohen testified yesterday and today. >> one thing that is clear that i got from michael cohen is that michael cohen was a lot while you're less to donald trump, michael cohen was donald trump's ride or die and was willing to do anything including being in shot for donald trump. so that was clear no mentioned doing michael cohen's testimony that you get that this had to do with trying to say the emotions of melania or trying to prevent her from finding out this inflammation instead, everything was driven of stormy daniels and this story coming out because they knew it would affect the campaign. so in terms of his testimony, i think it was clear to the jury that that was the purpose and hiding geas pay let's very trump had a bunch of allies with them today in court, not just including his legal team or his son and daughter-in-law in included north dakota governor doug burgum, who might be on the vp shortlist, perhaps congressman byron donalds and cory mills of florida cnn's caroll chris can tell reports that when they went back into the courtroom in the middle of cohen's testimony, judge merchan looked visibly a at they're coming in in the middle of the trial. did you notice this? and how typical is that for trial? house? >> yeah. i mean, every judge has their different roles, different leniency. >> i didn't particularly see that, but it has been an odd day today. just because this whole thing has kind of played out like a vip stakes, right? i mean, you have donald trump running for president, who is stuck in court all day. and these all who seem to maybe want to be his vice president, they're showing his support here, even saying things that the gag order prevents trump from saying they came out, attacked michael cohen and which trump can't do under the gag order. so this whole situation is unusual. >> bernardo, the prosecution spent a lot of time today introducing a new character criminal defense fans, attorney, robert costello, who worked closely with rudy giuliani cohen said costello offered this back channel communication from costello to rudy to trump in spring 2018 to make sure that cohen was not going to flip. explain why this is important to the crime in this case. and do you think jurors were following all that? i didn't. the importance of it as well i think that jury was able to see that this robert castello guy, this attorney, was definitely a shady character that he didn't have the best interests of michael cohen? >> yeah, that would that was definitely clear because he was also so brazen in terms of his emails from michael cohen about what his desire is about he how he has close connections to rudy giuliani, and it will be in his bets interests to go with him. and at one point saying that he was even upset that michael cohen it's entertaining trying to go to another attorney was clear from that testimony to me, is that you can argue consciousness of guilt on the part of donald trump that you're pushing this attorney at the joint defense agreement to be able to cover yourself and make sure that this attorney is looking off the bets into is of donald trump. and not that of michael cohen. i have to say this, i think because michael coleman was a former attorney, wasn't attorney at the time that he was able to see through the bs and see that he was because be used and part of this is what hurt his feelings and actually woke him up to seek that he's no longer part of that colt and he needs to be looking out own best interests still a bit of a mystery who the defense will call the testify. if anyone. >> let's look back at what trump himself has said about the possibility of his testifying i would have no problem testified. i didn't do anything wrong i'm testifying. >> i tell the truth. i mean, all i can do is tell the truth and the truth is that there's no case they have no case. >> well, if it's necessary right now, i don't know if you heard about today. today, was just incredible. people are saying the experts, i'm talking about legal scholars and experts they're saying what kind of a cases is there is no case. well, i'm not allowed to testify. i'm under a gag i can testify but the ganglion is not for testify bernardo your defense attorney, would you let trump take the stand in this case if you were representing him? >> if i were representing donald trump, two things i'll make sure that i get paid upfront and zach and i was strongly advise him not to testify because of course of decision to testify as of the defendant alone not of the attorney. so several reasons why he shouldn't testified. each and every tweets, each and every pulse, each and never every hello say he's place every statement that he's made in his book, he's going to be confronted with it. so everything that prosecution has put an evidence, he's going to be confronted within any snack going to have a good explanation. he's going to play well in front of this jury. secondly, about that, the sandoval hearing, he's going to be cross-examined as to the e. jean carroll final fine thanks to new york attorney general binding and also how he was fined a 5,000 and $10,000 in contempt. so he says to open to so many things that he's not going to fare well in front of this drug. so they no bernardo veo lona, and apparently stein to the washington post. >> thanks to both. you really appreciate a great to see both you as the trump trial plays out in new york, legal action in dc might put a former trump adviser closer to prison himself. the department of justice, once a federal judge to order steve bannon to begin serving a before month prison sentence. cnn's evan pedis is here and evan bannon had remained out of prison while his appeal of a contempt of congress conviction played out. but that conviction was upheld, right? >> it was upheld jake by the dc court of appeals. and now the justice department is telling the judge who oversaw the case and who put his time of imprisonment on hold. they're asking for the judge to order him to report to prison and they're pointing out that because this the dc circuit has already rejected as appeals, that there's really no good reason and unless he's just trying to delay that that process, of course, that is part of the game here because steve bannon, of course, is hoping that donald trump wins in november and perhaps could wipe away this whole thing. the judge, carl nichols, who's overseeing this case, jake has ordered bannon to respond by thursday on what to do about this. i'll point out, jake, that that his attorney, david shown, has already put a statement saying that they're planning to continue fighting this. they're going to ask for a further appeal with the court of appeals and perhaps beyond that, jake. >> all right. evan perez. thank you so much. a gag order may keep donald trump from saying anything publicly about witnesses such as michael cohen but that is certainly not stopping his supporters. what the house speaker mike johnson said outside the courthouse about the prosecution's star witness plus, as a candidate joe biden criticized donald trump for the tariffs on chinese imports in 2019. but now president biden is announcing his own version of these tariffs. what's the difference? we'll dive into that next from having their step

horn, so your foot slides into place to try i sketch your slip in in manhattan, trump allies and potential running mate's have been lining up to show their support for the former president, the latest and most senior republican to defend trump outside the courthouse is the speaker of the house, mike johnson. >> this is the fifth week that president trump has been in court for this sham of a trial. they are doing this intentionally to keep him here keep him off of the campaign trail. i came here today on my own to support president trump because i am one of hundreds of millions of people. and one citizen who is deeply concerned about this under a gag order, trump himself, risks jail time if he attacks witnesses in his this trial. >> so now his political allies, including speaker johnson are doing what trump is legally not allowed to do right now hammering the credibility of the number one witness who is testifying right now, michael cohen, outside the courthouse this is a man who has clearly on a mission for personal revenge and who is widely known as a witness who has trouble with the truth he is someone who has a history of perjury and his well-known for no one should believe a word he says today also, showing their support, north dakota governor doug burgum and florida congressman byron donalds and cory mills and former presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy let's bring in the panel and talk about this. so shortly after mike johnson became speaker, he told sean hannity that the best way to understand his worldview was if you pick up a viable and today he is defending donald trump in this porn. related case. and/or and the speaker of the house is also fundraising off of his appearance at trump's trial, former congresswoman liz cheney criticized the speaker johnson on x saying, quote, have to admit, i'm surprised it's speaker johnson wants to be in the i cheated on my wife with a porn star club. i guess he's not that concerned with teaching morality the to our young people, after all david, paul jansky, what, what, what's your reaction, fair, fair, or unfair from liz cheney? >> well, look, i mean, if you want to be vice president in the united states let's be clear today with the polling, as we see it, not just nationally, but more importantly in the battleground states, if the election were held today, donald trump would be president again. if the polls are accurate, if the polls are accurate usually when you're arguing against polls, you're losing. i'm not arguing one way or the other. i'm just saying that's the caveat. yes. and i think in this case, i think look, if you want to be the number two on this ticket, not just chosen, but with a real opportunity to be in that white house as vice president, the united states, you show up at that trial and you make an parents do you think speaker johnson is on the vp shortlist? >> no, i don't, but i think he's a look. it's a very difficult job for him to wrangle every single republican in that conference, which a diverse setting of use, a handful of republicans can change, just helps. it helps him in that task. >> it helps her job so you didn't have to do this? this conference that's clear there there's considering how much is at stake in congress right now and they barely have that one vote majority. the only reason anything's gotten done is because he's had to work across the aisle and get democrats to support some of these most basic provisions. passing a budget, passing national security funding speaker johnson is clearly now running towards that. >> while the bible he's about power and what i can do with that. power and access. i'm shocked actually that he was talking about michael cohen in that clip when he talks about perjure criminal somebody who has a hard time with the truth. that actually sounded like he's talking about donald trump. well, listen to what speaker johnson had to say about this trial itself because its it's pretty stark i'm an attorney, i'm a former litigator myself. i am disgusted by what is happening here, what is being done here to our entire system of justice overall? the people are losing faith right now in this country. in our institutions they're losing faith in our system of justice. and the reason for that is because they see it being and abused as it is being done here in new york. >> now, by the way, across the street, the democratic senator bob menendez of new jersey has his own trial going on for corruption and also there was just a recent indictment of a democratic congressman in texas so just some context here in terms of political prosecutions listen, i think if you're donald trump, this is awful obviously a message he wants to hear. >> he wants more people to say it, right? and people who are more establishment in some ways, who are more well spoken, i think obviously my johnson sort of fits into that category. it also i think gets to the fact that donald trump might be a little worried about what we've been seeing in the courtroom over the last couple of days are stormy daniels testimony wasn't really flattering to him, so he gets a real boost from somebody like mike johnson in all of these vice presidents or want to be vice it's going out there and sort of engaging in this reality show contest that is going to be the vice president. >> so i'm called on one second because i want to bring in something else that happened today. i want to go to the white house for president biden announced today he's raising tariffs on chinese imports, including electric vehicles and solar cells and semiconductor. cnn's kayla tausche is live frehse at the white house kayla interesting move by biden some might even say trump ask. and interesting timing. why is he doing it now? >> well, the administration jake has been studying this for several years, but there are a few reasons why now, the first is that the us wants other for allies to follow suit specifically, it wants the european union in the g7 to discuss this very issue at some of the summits coming up this summer, the eu has its own investigation into tariffs on electric vehicles with a july deadline, and they really want europe to join them in this fight. but today, two of the leaders from the more auto heavy countries casts some doubt on that in a joint appearance sweden's prime minister said this when asked if sweden and germany would be putting tariffs on evs, he said it is fundamentally a bad idea to dismantle global trade, a wider trade war where we block each other is not the way to go for industrial nations such as germany and sweden. but of course here at home, it also helps set the political agenda going into the election and helps biden and keep pace with trump politically trump, you may remember, has proposed increasing tariffs on all goods from china two, 60% and there also jig many inside the white house who are pushing biden to announce this policy before his pittsburgh speech. but they were worried that doing this earlier would have potentially disrupted diplomatic visits that happened last month. >> so kayla, in 2019, when he was running for president, joe biden criticized trump for imposing tariffs on china. >> take a listen president trump may think is been tough on china all that he has delivered as a consequence of that, is american farmers manufacturers and consumers losing and paid more now, kayla pardon, is keeping those tariffs that trump imposed. she is. and despite some within the white house suggesting that some of those tariffs on consumer product flux should be removed, but ultimately that debate was lost because there were worries about the message it would send to labor and to send manufacturing heavy states. but today, jake biden's top trade official tried to explain this seeming about face. she said that the reason why the trump tariffs were ill-conceived was because they brought about chaos and instability and she argued that the link between tariffs and higher consumer prices has since been debunked, even though economists largely agree that importers do face higher prices, it is worth noting though, that some of the financial pain that was rot during the last administration was because of really hefty retaliation from beijing. there's some retaliation chen expect at this time around, but because it's such a smaller group of imports, it's going to be impacted and phased out over two years. the hope within the administration is that some of that counter punching will be limited here interesting stuff. >> kayla tausche, the white house. thanks so much today, trump responded by accusing biden of taking a page out of the trump playbook. take a listen electric vehicles that biden is pushing down everybody's throat into people don't want he wants to put a paper towel on. >> china, which is a suggestion that i said, where have you been heard? 3.5 years. i should have done it a long time ago, but they've also got to do what another and to have to do it on a lot of other products. >> because china's eating our lunch right down so first of all, fact check, i don't i think demand for electric vehicles in the united states has never been higher. so the idea, nobody wants them, not true, but neap, malika, more importantly, what are these tariffs actually going to do? how will they affect consumers yeah, well, listen, i think this is the biden's attempt to really get tough on these issues, right? >> if you look at electric vehicles semiconductors, are these batteries and sort of emerging markets. this is there attempt to really get ahead of where china is. so listen, there could be some blowback from china in terms of higher price prices that could be passed along to consumers. but i think politically this is a real reversal from biden, who was down on these terrorists, the rigid billion dollars or so of the trump imposed. he's keeping those and then $18 more in terrorist. i think it's a real attempt to get around this idea that trump was better on the economy. >> nine here i just cohen right tea colorado's governor democrat, who considers himself kind of like a pro pro-business democrat. he's criticizing button. he says jared policy says this is horrible news for american consumers and a major setback for clean energy tariffs are a direct regressive tax and americans in this tax increase will hit every family. >> it's going to be a real challenge because democratic caucus and members of congress or not in a fight on what the trade war with china should look like, should be permanent relations. trade relations should it not? the reality is though that our economies are so intertwined and what biden has been trying to do is decoupled is a fancy way of saying, let's make sure we're supply chain is connected with vietnam. we're boosting other countries that is in combination with tariffs. whereas trump was marginal stay. bull in a china shop. what do you think? >> and how much do you think this is about michigan or the industrial midwest will look, i think there were stories as sporting that the president, some of his advisers don't believe the polls. >> and i think this is further evidence that might be right look, the fact of the matter is voters have been telling us inflation is their top issue. and what the numbers that came out today back it up and instead, they the administration leads today with tariffs. but the headline of it is quadrupling tariffs on electric vehicles. and while at the same time, the president is going to have to go into michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. and by the way where he's probably going to have to run the table looking at the sunbelt numbers of late and instead, his epa has regulated and demanded that they're going to phase out gas-powered vehicles over the next several years. and mandate electric vehicles in its place. that's a real tough sell in those states. and leaving today on tariffs and supportive electric vehicles is only only another needle in there. i all right. >> thanks to one and all appreciate a good to see all of you coming up next. >> how ancient tree rings deliver a dire warning. >> and why zombie fires are causing alarm. >> stay with us allergies with allegro. >> they won't stop me nothing beats allegro. >> it's the fastest non drowsy you 24

for just $19 i'm dr. sanjay gupta in copenhagen. and this is cnn dot for our earth that matters series, ancient tree rings, revealing a stark warning. a study finds last summer was the hottest summer and at least 2000 years for planet earth going back to the year 246, when the roman empire ruled europe and the mayans controlled central america this warming is obviously creating dangerous extremes and canada, wildfires are scorching tens of thousands of acres creating air quality warnings once again, in the where we are apparently downwind elsewhere in the more than 200 tornadoes so far in just the month of may, many leaving hands of death and destruction. there are also floods destroying a hundreds of lives, all over the world from afghanistan to indonesia we're, there's also an active volcano, by the way, to brazil and argentina. all this week, just this week, cnn's bill, we're is here to explain what is going on. so bill, what is going on? let's start with the fires in canada there are a number of new ones burning, but also zombie fires still smoldering from 2020 23, exactly. these are zombie or holdover fires, jake, where they're not fully extinguished over the winter, not enough snowpack to snuff them out or they sort of smolder their underground in these boreal forests and then then come summer, then comes warm winds, then it comes drive fuel. then you can see those fires rekindle again over 100 going right now, three really big ones yesterday, the air quality index in minneapolis, saint paul was among the worst ten war cities in the world, little bit better today. but this is something we may have to think about all summer. jake, because as you've seen last year from portland, oregon to portland, maine, you had folks breathing this stuff. and if as a reminder, the air quality index is a number from zero to 300. anything over 100 is dangerous for the elderly, for the young, for people with lung problems, anything over one 50 is dangerous for everybody that's going to be the watch word the summer. >> so the floods and the tornadoes, all of this are linked to the climate crisis, right? >> while tornadoes is a little thin, the data on a date on tornadoes is not like hurricanes, which you can watch for days and weeks as they form, tornadoes are only on the ground for maybe minutes and the record only goes back to 1950, but so far, this is the second most active season. going back to 1950, over 781 of them we do know that tornado alley he is shifting eastward. >> so the place where these storms formed is changing along with the climate as well but scary stuff we're seeing in the midwest today is it only going to get worse this year? >> i mean, it's only may it is only may. yes. and we've yet to bend the biggest curve of all that's the carbon dioxide curve. the planet trapping pollution. it's now keeps going up right now and just physics tells us that the temperatures will follow all right, bill, we're and please check out

for smarter i hanako montgomery in tokyo, and this is cnn in the world aid us secretary of state antony blinken arrived in ukraine's capital late last night, armed with the message, you are not alone as ukraine waits for the billions of dollars worth of american military aid that it took congress six months to pass. russia is pushing closer to the key kharkiv region using new positions and ukraine's diminished defenses to strike residential apartment buildings earlier this year, ukrainians and our kyiv were relatively safe in just the past few days, ukrainian officials say more than 7,000 people have been forced to flee soon as nick paton walsh just arrived in the region, he's on the ground and central ukraine. nic always good to see you. how much longer will ukraine have to wait for the us military aid? and what are you hearing from ukrainians? >> look important to say we don't always have full transparency about when and where us weapons get delivered for obvious reasons. but it does look like weeks till they really start feeling the benefit of that long-delayed $61 billion held up by a dysfunctional republican congress. that is the reason why the russians are seeing success of north of the second city in ukraine, harkey, this is essentially, you might i call it a third invasion, a completely new prong of attack back into areas that russia was kicked out. in the end of 2022. they're moving fast. they clearly have better resources, better ammunition, and clearly to ukrainians fail hello, to build defenses there, but also don't have the artillery you'd normally rely upon to stop an invading force. like this russian movement here they claimed to have taken nine villages off ukrainians and they're pushing towards an important one called lyptsi, where if they got into that what they might be able to shell the second largest city, kharkiv, intensely taking seeing the people there back to the dark days of 2022 or their daily life was interrupted by often random russian shelling. so it is a definitely stop a moment here where despite the very positive noises from secretary blinken in kyiv, it's really playing guitar. they're all my sandi like yet necessarily felt the severity of exactly what's happening north of harkey. it's really a reflection on the ground of quiet, how slow that aid is being. we've seen morale to tear right here over the past five or six months because that money was held up. well, now we're seeing the russians move over land because of that delay. jake, while attention is focused on her kyiv, russia's forces are trying to exploit other areas on the front lines. in particular, along the russian occupied city of dennett's, tell us more about what's going on and dennett's yeah. >> great concerns. what we're seeing actually in the north in kharkiv is a bid to try and draw ukraine's limited resources away from the front lines. and enable russia to get gains in that net scarier where it's been moving pretty fast forward over the past months or so. now, they took our dv a key town they're back in february and they've since been edging forwards. they've got some key well, it's of ukraine's military infrastructure in that region in their sights, towns like kramatorsk, sloviansk, pokrovsk. these are all essential to ukraine's minute jw operations there. and now the unthinkable is happening well, the russians are taking field after field, small, tiny villages. you wouldn't know of frankly, where maybe hundreds of people lived before the war broke out there taking one after another, after another, ukrainians are struggling to hold their leinz. and that's really leaving this significant eastern the front four times since 2014 deeply vulnerable to russian strategic advances the summers ahead of them yes, western weapons will start coming in in the next month or so, but the russians have momentum here and they spot a window of acute ukrainian weakness and they're exploiting now jake are russian attacks on ukraine increasing in frequency or size, or is it just that ukraine's air defenses are not able to keep up or a combination yeah i think it's a, bit of both to be honest, the russians have got ammunition and personnel here in ways that far outstrip anything ukrainians able to feel the russian economies are really got behind this war effort now and they appear to have firepower, airstrike capacity that they didn't have months back. >> and we've seen that reflected in the airstrikes taking on some of the northern towns north of kharkiv like vovchansk repeatedly hit by huge halftime bonds dropped by the russians. so certainly the russians have gotten more, ukrainians have certainly also got less than we were warned back in december when we knew that usa was going to stop in slowed by that congressional impasse that the first thing potentially you would see weakened in ukraine and the air defenses they'd been bombarded heavily over the past months or so a bitter winter targets on infrastructure. so they need more patriot missiles, more air defenses quickly as possible. they'll start getting that certainly soon. but the key thing to remember here, jake is this was essentially avoidable. they've ended up getting that $61 billion. the five or six months delay in its cause, the damage to morale, damage to manpower, damage, the capacity on the front lines, and they've lost a lot of territory's. they're going to go into the summer hugely on the back foot with territory they could have kept taken back and good given to russia and putin feeling that his war after the narrative for well over a year being that they were faltering and just expanding endless amounts of man i'm power and resources to take tiny amounts of territory. now, moscow can point to key and at times even strident success because the west frankly hasn't been looking so hard and they've taken advantage of that going. >> all right. nick paton, walsh back on the ground for cnn and central ukraine. nick, thank you so much. please be safe and two over all right. strikes. israel says it was targeting hamas war room one embedded in a refugee camp in gaza. the result at
