Trump documents case. Former president expected to be there like he was several weeks ago and we shall, too. Here we go. Bill hemmer, welcome to thursday. Dana im dana perino and this is americas newsroom. Great to be here with you. We have a big show for you. Some experts believe that robert hurs testimony sports President Trumps argument that he did not mishandle classified documents. Well see if the judge feels the same. Bill you have the former president celebrating a victory of sorts in a different legal battle in atlanta, georgia. Fulton county. A judge there dismissing half a dozen charges in the Election Interference Case in georgia. Dana that same judge is also weighing a decision on whether to disqualify the prosecutor who brought the case. Fulton county d. A. Fani willis in response to allegations she was dating her lead prosecutor when she hired him. Bill that could come at any moments. The judge expected to rule any day, could be today after williss ex blows ivor testimony. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on highly. Its offensive when they try to implicate you slept with somebody the first day you met them and i take exception to it. A man is a companion. Bill we have analysis from Jonathan Turley and reporting from Jonathan Serrie but first on the case in florida steve harrigan. Lets begin. We expect to see the motorcade pull around any minute to the federal courthouse in fort pierce, florida. Former President Trump as well as two aides have been charged with mishandling classified documents. What well see today is a hearing starts at 10 00 and expected to go all day. Attorneys for the president are expected to try to dismiss this case entirely. That will be based on the president ial records act. It will be an attempt to claim president ial immunity. Also likely to push the delay the start of this trial. Right now scheduled to start in may. Likely trying to push it to august at the earliest. Not clearly whether we get to see the former president today. That motorcade is likely to pull around back and no cameras inside the federal court. That didnt stop a large group of Trump Supporters from arriving at Dawn Honking Horns hoping for a glimpse of former President Trump. Bill back to you with updates and headlines from fort pierce. Thank you. Dana were also keeping an eye on the courthouse in fulton county, georgia. Judge mcphee could hand down his decision on fani willis any moment. Yesterday dismissed several charges in the election case against President Trump. John ton seary is live in atlanta with more. Whats the fallout, jonathan . Hi there, dana. As for the decision on fani willis the judge says he plans to honor his selfimposed deadline. In other words, handing down a ruling either today or at the very latest tomorrow evening. In an interview with wsb radio last week he assured listeners his decision will not be influenced by a challenge he faces in an upcoming Special Election for his seat. I have had a rough draft and outline before i ever heard a rumor that someone wanted to run for this position. The result is not going to change because of politics. Several Defense Attorneys are calling on the judge to disqualify District Attorney fani willis from prosecuting the case claiming that her romantic relationship with nathan wade created professional and personal conflicts of interest. Yesterday the judge struck down six counts in the indictment against former President Trump and five of his associates relating to allegations they attempted to persuade georgia officials to violate their oaths of office when the defendants attempted to overturn mr. Trumps narrow defeat in the states 2020 president ial election. According to judge mca fee the six counts contain the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission. Now dana, d. A. Willis has several options here. She could move ahead and continue to prosecute the case on the remaining charges. She could appeal the judges decision, or she could write for detailed charges to present them to another grand jury. Of course, all of these options are contingent on her remaining as the top prosecutor in this case. Dana well see what happens today. Thank you, jonathan. Bill believe it or not were putting turley to work again today. Good morning, professor. Shame on you. Bill you were with us yesterday and you were talking about the atlanta cases being extended and perhaps this punts it past the election. Lets come back to that in a moment. The more pressing matter is in florida as of this hour. On the line there is the Espionage Act and the president ial records act. Does donald trump has a defense on both . Im afraid i think he is likely to lose the claim for dismissal. It doesnt mean he doesnt have some merit in his objections to these charges. You know, he has appeared at these courthouses to drive home how he is being pursued from your jurisdiction to jurisdiction. That message will never resonate as loudly or successfully as this morning because he will be in front of this court right after the Special Counsel just gave President Biden a pass. And the Special Counsel before congress laid out what seemed to be a serial violator of classified material rules going back 40 years from when he was a senator, removing things from a scif in congress all the way through being vice president. Documents following him from location to location, nine different locations. Boxes spilling over in his garage. Thats a remarkably strong case and the Special Counsel just sort of shrugged and said we probably couldnt secure a conviction in d. C. President trump will play on that and i dont blame him saying we can debate the obstruction charges. Why am i being prosecuted for these Document Charges after that decision . Dana okay. We wait that. We might not get a ruling on that today. Its just a hearing. We might hear more about this fulton county, fani willis case. Yesterday the decision by the judge to quash six of the counts. Is this case taking on water . Well yes. The question is how much remains above the waterline of the case. The problem is its not just the counts being struck. We dont know who will prosecute this case. The judge faces a really tough problem because will is a question of what standard to apply. But you have this Threshold Problem that both these prosecutors, willis and wade, appear to be contradicted about what they said in their sworn testimony and also things that they filed with the courts. They are prosecuting people for those types of violations. So the first question for the judge is did they actually testify truthfully. Do i believe them . If you dont, how can you believe the rest of what they said . Basically what the prosecutors are saying we paid cash for everything, no receipt. You cant prove a natural conflict. A lot of that depends on whether the court anticipates what they have said as true. Many people dont. Bill if you think theyre lying, its over. You have to reestablishing the deck. Is it possible that he says nathan wade is off because of the filing and fani willis stays on . All things are possible in this bizarre world of fulton county. He could very well do a decision like that. The value to that, bill, is that he wouldnt have to remove the office. If you take willis out it is hard to keep this case in fulton county. If you move the case to a different county and that prosecutor has to make a judgment whether its warrants going forward. Many of us have said from the beginning this is a very weak racketeering case. It was always thin soup and got thinner with the dropping of six counts. Bill sir, thank you. Well put you on stand by because we could get at any moment some Breaking News on both matters. Thank you, professor. Im here for you. Dana Hunter Bidens first trial is due in jun, as soon as is june 3rd. He pleaded not guilty to lying about his Drug Use Filling out a form to buy a gun in october 2018. Hunter is refusing to testify publicly alongside his former Business Associates at a House Hearing next week. His lawyer likened the invitation to a carnival side show. Bill interesting. Dana he had said he was going to do it. Bill interesting how things change. Remember the morning we were sitting a month ago and got in our ear saying hunter biden is on capitol hill and they walked into the hearing room and made a show of it. Dana talk about a carnival show. They created it. Bill lets go to this now. This is all about politics. How does the president feel . I think exactly that way. This is political. There is no place for this in america. Bill whats the judge going to do now . Waiting for the courtroom to get underway in florida. The former president will be there any moment now and the effort to try to get some of these charges kicked out. Well follow that Breaking News as it devils coming up.

Dana American Airlines flight forced to make an Emergency Landing at Los Angeles Airport Last Night Due to a mechanical issue. The boeing plane landed safely. No injuries were reported. The scare is the latest issue oh involving a boeing aircraft and the second aircraft to make an Emergency Landing at lax just this month. Bill big stuff there. We were just in alaska and had a better experience, am i right . More coming up. Verdict watch in the trial of James Crumbly charged with Involunteer Manslaughter for a School Shooting carried out by his son. Four classmates killed, seven others injured. Mike tobin. This is the second trial in this case. The jury has the case now. Waiting on the verdict. Tragic case seeking to hold the parents accountable because their child went on a shooting rampage at ox Ford High School in November Of 2021 north of detroit. James crumbly and his wife jennifer with the first to convict them for involuntary manslaughter. Jennifer was convicted last month. There were warnings and james did nothing to prevent the shooting. In the Closing Argument yesterday the prosecutor reminded the jury the school contacted his father. Accordingly he returned to work, failed to lock the door in his house and drove by his house four times before stopping to check on his son. This is a case of hindsight that james had no way to predict his sons behavior would result in a rampage. Four students ages 1417 were killed. Jennifer is now serving a 15year sentence. Ethan is serving life without parole and were now waiting on the verdict with james. Bill mike tobin in chicago. Keep us posted. I love yall. I love yall. Im not from haiti, man, im from the u. S. I love yall, man. Dana americans like jack brewer visiting haiti to help with the unrest there. Florida Governor Ron Desantis is deploying soldiers, planes and boats to prevent haitian migrants from fleeing to his state. No state has done more to supplement the underresourced u. S. Coast guards efforts. We cant have illegal aliens coming to florida. Lets bring in jack brewer, chairman of his own foundation. We talked to you before. We remember that aide worker being held and finally released and thank goodness for that. The situation in haiti has become more dire over the past 18 months or longer than that. The Biden Administration to me has slow walked solutions at its source and now you have a situation where Governor Desantis says i have to do more to protect my state. There are the people of haiti to be concerned about as well. What type of gangs are we talking about here . You are talking about the most vicious gangs that you could ever comprehend. These people literally eat each other, i hate to say that on tv but it is important for me to be real. They are completely lawless. These gangs are also a lot of gang members are there for survival similar to a gang in a prison or a gang in some of our communities. The only way these folks eat. The gang makeup in haiti is different than you may think about here in the United States. These gangs are actually part of the government. The u. N. Did a report two years ago and showed that 28 senators out of the 30, i believe, in haiti all had Drug Trafficking ties. So these individuals are part of the government. It is part of the way of life in the system there whether you are talking about immigration, you are talking about things coming in and out. Sex trafficking, drugs. All of these industries are ran by gangs in haiti. Bill wow. These are some of the numbers and its a lot, right . Going back to the end of last year. Covers a 15month period. Authorized for travel. 126,000 granted parole. You heard what Governor Desantis is doing now. Does he need more help . He does. This is a huge issue. I live down here in florida and you see what i do in haiti on the ground. We still have programs and projects feeding 1,000 kids a day. In the u. S. I also take care of a very large haitian population. You see an influx and see schools being overcrowded. The issue in haiti in particular, they just let 4,000 criminals out of a prison. They released the entire prison. Just to go to prison in haiti sometimes these are the worst of the worst. So these folks are coming here whether you want to admit it or not they are coming here. Thats their goal because you cant even survive and eat while you are in haiti. My kids in the orphanage, we struggle to get them food safely. This is a very bad situation, im very concerned about the state of florida just because i know the influx that were about to get. Dana if you are hungry, desperate people do desperate things. Administration has tried a couple of things going through the United Nations and the kenyans who said they would come halfway across the world to try to help solve the problem. Listen to Antony Blinken here. I was on the phone this morning with the president of kenya who confirmed saying he is prepared to lead that mission as soon as the new council is stood up, which we believe will happen in the next couple of days. We should be in a place where that mission can go forward. It can, we believe, help reestablish security, take back control of the country from the gangs. Dana do you think the kenyans are going to be able to do this . God bless them. I pray they can, dana. The reality on the ground is there is no country to come in and take over haiti. Haitians dont want anybody to come in and take over their country. They do want safety, they want resources, and more importantly they want jobs. So the United States of america continues to blindly send money to haiti. We just sent them another 1 hundred million. That money is going to end up into the hands of the gangs. If you send money there through the kenyan government it will end up in the hands of the gangs. Its the culture, the way of life there. We must go to haiti. I said this for a few years. We must set up a Corps Of Engineers and make sure we know our dollars are going into Training People so they can take care of their own country. Haiti needs sustainability. Stop sending in money and funds and countries and we have to bare the brunt. A black hole of despair in haiti and the billion else of dollars pumped in there and what . Government after government continues to let their people down. Yet again we see it today. Jack, good luck to you and stay in touch with you and folks like mitch who just came back and see where this goes. Thank you for coming on. Thanks for covering it. Bill will it be case dismissed .
