Off the post. Sweden can win on this kick. Plus, oneonone with Donald Trumps lawyer who claims trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election were aspirational, not criminal. And lost at sea for two days in a boat only 12 feet long. Well show you the incredible rescue and youre live in the cnn newsroom. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining me this sunday. Im fredricka whitfield. Former president Donald Trumps lawyer speaking out this morning doubling down on his argument that trump was within his First Amendment rights when he asked former Vice President mike pence to overturn the election results. And that it all boils down to the way he asked. And all of this played out in the open. Its all free speech. There was a Supreme Court decision, which is right on point, that says when youre exercising free speech, youre not engaging in a fraud on the government. And thats what unfortunately, most people dont understand in this context. Thats just one example of the actions. Thats just one e
Oh, wow. Oh, what, what . What . I love. Tonight, events in The Middle East spiraling out midd. Trol i an airstrike at a hospital in gaza has left hundreds dead. But its not what it seems. Hamas claims israel struck the hospital. Israel denies struc it. Fault they say a Faulty Hamaset Rocket fired from gaza hit their own hospital. Number one, israe numl does r target places like hospitals. Theyre not a target for us. S ouldnt and we wouldnt have deliberately hit a hospital. Number two, we know that at the time of the of this tragedyt that hamas was firing a barrage of rockets at tel aviv and thevr center of the country. The idf has just released Surveillance Footage showinghed a rocket launch towards israel, igniting midflight and thendire propelling directly down into gazactly. There that is right there, the surveillance Camera Timestamp also directlyo th corresponds to the moment the hospital was struc thek. The idf also reportedly have recorded a Conversatio N among jihadists that l
The request for the skrjudge to recuse herself. trump says his legal team has powerful grounds for this request. is this simply because they did not get the judgment they wanted on that motion that she said no to extending the deadline and thereby now the trump team not happy with her? what would be the merit in which they claim she should recuse herself? well, they don t have any legitimate grounds at this point. i mean, we just started. she hasn t even had an appearance yet with them in front of her. i suspect they re trying to get rid of her, they don t think she s good for them. they might point to this motion, denying the request to delay a briefing is no basis to kick a judge off a case. they might go more for sugge suggestions she s a democrat, supported democrats in the past with donations and such, and that shows she s biased against him. it won t work, but i think they ll kind of throw everything at it to try to get her kicked
This isn t really a story about joe biden health, this is about how fox news try to amplify the attacks against the president s political foes. er look at president trump talking about biden the kpaktd same way, claiming he s lost a step or something. i think what we see is the right-wing media ecoho chamber n full effect. there s obviously no evidence biden s got a health problem he s hiding. not every day, not all the time but just enough to started to sew doubt and it gets straight to the president and spreads everywhere. a federal indictment unsealed shows roger stone, jerome corsi and says would not hurt to sugge suggest old memory has bad stroke.
That sit with world leaders? can the president word s be taken. this is a different kind of leader than we ve had for a long time. and he says a lot of things on a lot of different sugge subjecd some where right and some are wrong. as i read the press report he said he didn t know for sure whether there was a deficitment but he assumed there was a deficit because we have a because there is a deficit between and the united states and most countries. and then when he was challenged on it, he asked folk foz go a k up the fact and probably talking about goods, not services which is the distinction you drew up before. i think world leaders now know this man and know how he operates. i don t think they ll overreact too much to it. probably overrackeact less than have here. they ll adjust is what you are saying. they ll adjust. we re still the united states. steven hadley. thank you for coming on. much appreciated.
