the struggles of war growing more desperate as russian bombs get closer. cnn talks with ukrainian families in the east who say they can t leave despite explosions all around them. welcome to the lead i m erika hill in for jake tapper. we are standing by for an update on the shooting in highland park, illinois. we ve learned a seventh person has now died as a result of that shooting. the suspect police say planned the attack for several weeks, sprayed the parade crowd with bullets from a rooftop, the gunman used a fire escape ladder to access the rooftop and in another disturbing detail, he dressed in women s clothing to help him blend in with the crowd as he escaped running for cover and safety. cnn has a photo showing law enforcement taking him into custody. his hands cuffed behind his back, face down on the ground. the question yet to be answered why this fourth of july parade, why target so many innocent lives. we are learning more about those lives, two of the seven v
to take away from all of this, what i think is the one thing, well, here it is. rudy giuliani. i cannot get this story out of my mind. that s why i m going to focus on it right now. do you realize that someone that was the former district attorney for the southern district of new york, a very familiar prosecutor, is refusing to stop defaming and lying about election workers? election workers who have been proven, proven to have done absolutely nothing wrong. in fact, the federal judge who is overseeing that case has already ruled that rudy is spreading false information about ruby freeman and shea moss. he is falsely claiming this that they were passing around usb drives as, quote, they were vials of heroin or cocaine. interesting use of that description and analogy, is it not, when in fact it wasn t a usb drive. remember, it was a ginger mint being passed between mother and daughter. now it s a matter of how much the man who was once known as america s mayor will have to pay
