central. as thousands of migrants are heading to the united states, the biden administration faces a major legal setback in the border strategy just hours after the end of title 42. remember, that policy was used nearly 3 million times to immediately expel people in the covid pandemic, and now a new court ruling has blocked the border authorities from releasing the migrants without a scheduled court date, and the white house is accusing the republicans to sabotage efforts to manage the border. alejandro mayorkas said that the policy was key to ease the overcrowding at the detention facilities. listen to this. the department of justice is considering options and the practice that the court has prevented us from using is a practice that prior administrations have used to relieve overcrowding. in the meantime, we are learning from the border city of el paso that fewer migrants are coming in compared to last week. we will get the update with rosa flores. rosa, set the scen

But a lot actually happened. Michael cohen was back on the stand finishing his four days of testimony, and trumps lawyers began and ended their case, so we basically in one week saw the d. A. And the defense team both rest, and we saw the Defense Witnesses who at times stumbled. Heres how it played out. The defense wrapped up with Michael Cohen after three days of Cross Examination. It was a grueling three days. The prosecution has now rested its case. The defense has also just now called its first witness. Robert costello back on the stand later this morning after yesterdays fireworks. He was nearly tossed from the witness box and his entire testimony was nearly stricken from the record. An extraordinary moment. His whole attitude on the stand could have the defense team rethinking its strategy of calling him at all. The defense has rested its case after calling just two witnesses, but donald trump did not testify in his own defense. Thats how it went down, and it was actionpacked. Mi

Specifically those stills of a cspan video that proves donald trump and Keith Schiller were together, which has just been introduced into the redirection from cohen. So far, todd blanche has landed multiple punches against cohen. Including cohens admission that he stole Tens Of Thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization and the question about how many more witnesses were left and who might the defense call. Those are big questions. Vaughn hillyard is outside of the courthouse, along with Andrew Weissmann and Catherine Christian who are still with us as well. So, vaughn, its the top of the hour. I will let you top us off. Reporter were looking at the 3 00 p. M.
