deepest love to michelle crag barak, kelly, and the sixth, irrepressible grandchildren whom she helped to raise. and so loved and in whom her kind and gentle spirit lives on marion robinson was 86 the skis cnn breaking news hello everyone. thank you for joining me. i m alison chemla radha in for fredricka whitfield today. so we do have breaking news out of florida, nasa officials are expected to speak soon. this will be the first time that they re speaking since rubbing the launch of boeing s historic starliner test flight today, an automatic hold stopped the countdown clock with less than four minutes to go. the two astronauts who were headed to the space station are now back at crew quarters after leaving the capsule. a short time ago cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher is live from the kennedy space center for us. so kristen as you explain to us, while we were all waiting and watching and hoping this what happened, this potential launch has been in the m
out at just about everyone. he blames for the verdict. cnn s kristen holmes has bore on what trump just saying and doing anyone. i defined donald trump lashing out friday a day after a new york jury found him guilty on all 34 counts in his criminal hush money trial. we re gonna fight. i m wired in such a way that a lot of people would gone away a long time ago, the trump air grievances with the trial and level the tax at the prosecutor and the presiding judge, juan merchan, it was a rigged trial. we wanted a venue change where we can have a fair trial we didn t get it we wanted a judge change. we wanted to judge. it wasn t conflicted and obviously he didn t do that even as the former president remains under a gag order that blocks them from speaking out about witnesses, jurors, and others closely tied to the case trump s singled out x attorney michael cohen, a key witness in the case without using his name, not allowed to use his day because of the gag order. but you kn
attention, any attention to liberal comments made post verdict, you would have noticed that you were hearing not so subtle warnings of a maga uprising. trump and his maga followers are digging in, trying to tear down the system. is he perfectly willing to call out the mob, basically. and have them attack all of these people and threaten their safety. there is going to be violence. there is going to be trouble. this is wrong, there s going to be some problems here, maybe some violence. and this president, former president should not have done what he did. i don t think he has a problem with the concept of violence. laura: now, why would they all say this? seems like almost coordinated. after all, they won the battle, at least by convicting trump. that was their dream. so what s their motive for fanning the flames now? well, since they can t credibly argue that you are better off than you were four years ago. they need more than just lawfare to win in november. and ev
nobody knows what the crime is because there s no crime. nobody knows what the crime is. the d.a. didn t name the crime. they don t know what the crime is that s what the problem is it s a disgrace. this thing ought to be ended immediately. the judge ought to end it. laura: for several weeks, alvin bragg s team elicited testimony from their star witnesses, stormy daniels, michael cohen, they had virtually no relevance to proving the elements of the crime charged. given this as i said earlier, the motion for directed verdict should have been granted by any judge worth his or her salt. in other words, no reasonable jury could have found that the crime charged was committed because the evidence wasn t presented. but, that would actually require an objective jurist. but trump faced a badly conflicted one and one the left is obsessed with. with respect to judge merchan, i mean, i am like now, you know, i have like a man crush on him. he is such a great judge that it s hard t
