>> FROM ABC NEWS IN NEW YORK,
THIS IS AMERICA THIS MORNING.
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING, EVERYONE.
I’M ANDREW DYMBURT.
>> GOOD MORNING. I’M ALISON
KOSIK IN FOR RIHANNA. AND WE
BEGIN WITH GROWING UNREST ON
COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AMID PROTESTS OVER THE
ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR IN CALIFORNIA.
>> PROTESTERS AT ONE UNIVERSITY
BARRICADED THEMSELVES INSIDE A
BUILDING. AND HERE IN NEW YORK,
MORE THAN 150 ARRESTS AS POLICE
IN RIOT GEAR BROKE UP A CROWD.
ABC’S LIONEL MOISE BEGINS OUR
COVERAGE.
>> OVERNIGHT, TENSIONS BOILING
OVER AS PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS
SPREAD TO MORE COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
FROM COAST TO COAST.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED BY NEW
YORK UNIVERSITY TO LEAVE THE
AREA. POLICE IN RIOT GEAR

MULTIPLE PEOPLE ACCUSED OF
IGNORING A DEADLINE TO DISPERSE
POLICE AND THE SCHOOL DESCRIBING
DISORDER ORDERLY, DISRUPTIVE AND
ANTAGONIZING BEHAVIOR THAT HAS
INTERFERED WITH THE SAFETY AND
SECURITY OF OUR COMMUNITY.
>> I HAD ONE OTHER EARLIER
FACULTY MEMBERS FORMED THIS
HUMAN CHAIN AROUND THE
PROTESTERS.
>> I AM A PROFESSOR HERE. I HAVE
EVERY RIGHT TO BE EVERYWHERE ON
CAMPUS AT NEARBY COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, WHERE PROTESTS ARE
ENTERING A SIXTH DAY, A
PRO-ISRAELI ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
SAID HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER
CAMPUS WHERE PROTESTERS HAVE
GATHERED, BUT WAS ALLOWED ACCESS
TO HIS BUSINESS SCHOOL DOWN THE
STREET. SOTO
USE JEWISH BRAINS. BUT THEY
DON’T WANT TO LET JEWISH PEOPLE
IN. BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO
ON CAMPUS WHERE THEY ARE
ALLOWING THE HAMAS SUPPORTERS,
AND THAT IS A SHAME.
>> THE PROFESSOR LATER POSTING
EARLIER TODAY, COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY REFUSED TO LET ME
ONTO CAMPUS. WHY BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT PROTECT MY SAFETY AS A
JEWISH PROFESSOR. THIS IS 1938.
AFTER MORE THAN 100 ARRESTS LAST
WEEK, A NEW ENCAMPMENT IS
GROWING AT COLUMBIA, ESCALATING
CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY. STUDENT
GROUPS LIKE THOSE AT OTHER
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, ARE
DEMANDING COLUMBIA DIVEST FROM
COMPANIES THAT DO BUSINESS WITH
ISRAEL. BUT CRITICS HIGHLIGHT
ANTI-SEMITIC HATE SPEECH AMONG
THE DEMONSTRATORS. NEW YORK’S

CONCERNS. YESTERDAY AT YALE,
DOZENS OF ARRESTS FOR PROTESTS
THERE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN
CALIFORNIA, THE CAMPUS OF CAL
POLY HUMBOLDT IS CLOSED AS
PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS
OVERNIGHT BARRICADED THEMSELVES
INSIDE A BUILDING. REPUBLICAN
LAWMAKERS ARE DEMANDING
COLUMBIA’S PRESIDENT RESIGN OVER
HER HANDLING OF THE PROTESTS.
AND AS SOON AS TOMORROW, SHE
COULD FACE A CENSURE VOTE FROM
THE UNIVERSITY SENATE. ANDREW
ALLISON, LIONEL, THANK YOU.
>> AND NOW TO BALTIMORE AND A
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE WAKE OF
THAT DEADLY BRIDGE COLLAPSE LAST
MONTH, INCLUDING NEW CLAIMS
ABOUT WHO’S AT FAULT. THIS
MORNING, THE CITY OF BALTIMORE,
WITH NEW ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE
OWNER OF THE DOLLY, THE CARGO
SHIP THAT LOST POWER AND SLAMMED
INTO THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
BRIDGE LAST MONTH, CAUSING IT TO
COLLAPSE, KILLING SIX
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. IN A NEW
COURT FILING, LAWYERS FOR THE
CITY ARGUE THE DOLLY’S OWNER
FAILED TO REPAIR KNOWN POWER
PROBLEMS BEFORE THE COLLISION,
SAYING EVEN BEFORE LEAVING PORT,
ALARMS SHOWING INCONSISTENT
POWER SUPPLY ON THE DOLLY HAD
SOUNDED, BUT THE DOLLY LEFT PORT
ANYWAYS. THE COMPANY HAS SOUGHT
TO CAP ITS LIABILITY AT $43
MILLION, BUT BALTIMORE LEADERS
ARGUE THE LIABILITY SHOULD NOT
BE CAPPED, CLAIMING THE
COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE CAUSED THEM
TO DESTROY THE KEY BRIDGE AND
SINGLE HANDEDLY SHUT DOWN THE
PORT OF BALTIMORE, A SOURCE OF
JOBS AND REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
>> I THINK THE LAST BIG
DEVASTATION WAS THE PANDEMIC,
AND PRIOR TO THAT, NINE OVER 11.
IN THE CASE OF A PORT CLOSING,
WHAT’S THE NEAREST PORT THAT WE
CAN BRING THIS PRODUCT INTO? THE
COLLAPSE HALTED MOST TRAFFIC
THROUGH THE PORT OF BALTIMORE
SALVAGE CREWS HAVE OPENED THREE
TEMPORARY CHANNELS TO ALLOW SOME
VESSELS TO PASS THROUGH ABOUT
15% OF NORMAL TRAFFIC, BUT THE
MAIN SHIPPING CHANNEL IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLOSED FOR
SEVERAL MORE WEEKS.
>> AS A RESULT, EXPERTS SAY,
CONSUMERS CAN EXPECT HIGHER
PRICES ON SOME GOODS, PRIMARILY
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND HOME
BUILDING PRODUCTS.
>> I THINK THAT’S ALWAYS A
CERTAINTY, TO BE HONEST. I THINK
MOST SUPPLIERS ARE OF THE
MINDSET THAT THEY HAVE TO PASS
COSTS ALONG WHEN UNEXPECTED
THINGS HAPPEN AND COSTS INCREASE
.
>> BUT A FEDERAL COURT WILL
ULTIMATELY DECIDE WHO’S
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRIDGE
COLLAPSE.
>> ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT A MAJOR
AIRPORT, THIS TIME AT NEW YORK’S
JFK AIRPORT. LISTEN AS A PILOT
REALIZED FOUR PLANES WERE
CROSSING THE SAME RUNWAY AFTER
HE WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF.
>> THIS WAS 170 ABOVE THE RUNWAY
FOR LEFT THERE FOR TAKEOFF, ONE
SEVEN KILO HEAVY REJECTED
TAKEOFF ON THE RUNWAY.
>> THIS WAS AIRPLANE ABORTED
TAKEOFF. IT HAPPENED LAST
WEDNESDAY, ONE DAY BEFORE
ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT
WASHINGTON’S REAGAN AIRPORT. THE
FAA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED STAFFING
SHORTAGES AND HAS VOWED TO

FATIGUE.
>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
CRIMINAL TRIAL RESUMES IN NEW
YORK TODAY. BUT FIRST, A DISPUTE

JUDGE’S GAG ORDER. ABC’S EM
NGUYEN HAS THOSE DETAILS. M GOOD

GAG ORDER. THIS MORNING,
PROSECUTORS AND FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL ARE
REQUESTING HE BE HELD IN
CONTEMPT, CLAIMING TRUMP
VIOLATED A GAG ORDER TEN TIMES
IN RECENT DAYS. THE LIST OF
POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS INCLUDES
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT LINKED
TO ARTICLES CALLING MICHAEL
COHEN A KEY WITNESS IN THE TRIAL
A SERIAL PERJURER. PROSECUTORS
WANT THE JUDGE TO FIND TRUMP
$1,000 PER VIOLATION AND
THREATENED FURTHER PENALTIES.
THE JUDGE SCHEDULED A HEARING ON
THE ISSUE BEFORE WITNESS
TESTIMONY RESUMES TODAY.
>> IT’S A VERY, VERY SAD DAY IN
AMERICA. I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
>> PROSECUTORS ALLEGE TRUMP
FALSIFIED BUSINESS RECORDS TO
DISGUISE A $130,000 PAYMENT TO
STAR STORMY DANIELS, DAYS BEFORE
THE 2016 ELECTION, SO VOTERS
WOULD NOT FIND OUT ABOUT DANIELS
CLAIM OF AN AFFAIR. AT THE TIME,
NEWS HAD JUST BROKEN OF THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE, WHERE
TRUMP IS HEARD BRAGGING ABOUT
GROPING WOMEN.
>> WHEN YOU’RE A STAR, THEY LET
YOU DO IT. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
DURING OPENING STATEMENTS
YESTERDAY, THE PROSECUTOR QUOTED
TRUMP’S WORDS TO THE JURY,
SAYING THE TAPES IMPACT WAS
EXPLOSIVE AND TRUMP AND HIS
CAMPAIGN WERE DEEPLY CONCERNED.
>> WHEN TRUMP LEARNED DANIELS
WAS SHOPPING A STORY,
PROSECUTORS SAID HE WAS ADAMANT
WORD OF THE ALLEGED AFFAIR NOT
COME OUT. TRUMP DENIES ANY
WRONGDOING, HIS ATTORNEY TELLING
THE JURY I HAVE A SPOILER ALERT.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
TRYING TO INFLUENCE AN ELECTION.
IT’S CALLED DEMOCRACY AND THE
DEFENSE CLAIMED COHEN HAS AN
OBSESSION WITH GETTING TRUMP AND
THAT HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. THEIR
FIRST WITNESS CALLED TO THE
STAND WAS DAVID PECKER, THE
FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE NATIONAL
ENQUIRER. PECKER HAS
ACKNOWLEDGED BY NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP ONLY TO BURY THEM, A
PRACTICE KNOWN AS CATCH AND
KILL. ON THE STAND, PECKER WAS
BLUNT, SAYING, WE USED CHECKBOOK
JOURNALISM. WE PAID FOR STORIES.
PECKER MADE A DEAL WITH
PROSECUTORS TO AVOID CHARGES
HIMSELF. HE’LL BE BACK ON THE
STAND TODAY.
>> ALLISON THANKS, SAM. THE MAN
ACCUSED OF BREAKING INTO THE
OFFICIAL RESIDENCE OF LOS
ANGELES MAYOR KAREN BASS WAS
REPORTEDLY ABLE TO GET ONTO THE

SO-CALLED SMOKE NATO AT A
WAREHOUSE FIRE IN WASHINGTON
STATE. EVACUATIONS WERE ORDERED
SUNDAY. CREWS WERE STILL ON THE

APPEARS OPEN TO ALLOWING CITIES

HOMELESS PEOPLE AT ISSUE WHETHER
GOVERNMENTS CAN TICKET FINE OR
POSSIBLY JAIL HOMELESS PEOPLE
WHO SLEEP OUTSIDE IN PUBLIC
AREAS. OPPONENTS ARGUE THAT
VIOLATES THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT,
WHICH PROHIBITS CRUEL AND
UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT. JUSTICE AMY

PUBLIC FROM USING A BLANKET,
PILLOW OR CARDBOARD BOX.
>> I THINK THAT IT IS HARMFUL
FOR PEOPLE TO BE LIVING IN
PUBLIC SPACES ON STREETS AND IN
PARKS, WHATEVER BEDDING
MATERIALS. WHEN HUMANS ARE
LIVING IN THOSE CONDITIONS, WE
THINK THAT THAT’S NOT
COMPASSIONATE.
>> THE CASE HAS NATIONWIDE
IMPLICATIONS AMID THE EXPANDING
PROBLEM OF HOMELESSNESS AND
PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS. WHILE
MANY JUSTICES APPEARED
SYMPATHETIC TO THE CITY, OTHERS
POINTED OUT THE NEED FOR
HOMELESS PEOPLE TO SLEEP
SOMEWHERE.
>> IT’S SORT OF LIKE BREATHING.
I MEAN, YOU COULD SAY BREATHING
IS CONDUCT, TOO, BUT PRESUMABLY
YOU WOULD NOT THINK THAT IT’S
OKAY TO CRIMINALIZE BREATHING IN
PUBLIC.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO POINT TO THE
FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR A
HOMELESS PERSON WHO HAS NO PLACE
TO GO SLEEPING IN PUBLIC IS KIND
OF LIKE BREATHING IN PUBLIC.
>> ONE QUESTION THE JUSTICES
WILL NEED TO DECIDE IS WHETHER
HOMELESSNESS IS SOMEONE’S STATUS
OR THEIR CONDUCT. THEIR RULING
IS EXPECTED IN JUNE.

DECIDING WHETHER TO RETRY A
RANCHER ACCUSED OF KILLING A
MEXICAN MIGRANT ON HIS PROPERTY
LAST YEAR, A MISTRIAL WAS
DECLARED IN GEORGE ALLEN KELLY’S
MURDER CASE. JURORS FAILED TO
REACH A VERDICT AFTER 15 HOURS
OF DELIBERATIONS.
>> TODAY’S WEATHER CLEAR ACROSS
THE WEST. STORMS IN OKLAHOMA AND
TEXAS AND SHOWERS FOR THE
MIDWEST. CLEAR AND MILD, THOUGH
ON THE EAST COAST.
>> AND FINALLY ON THIS EARTH
WEEK, A CHANGE ON THE HIGH SEAS.
>> DANNY. NEW REPORTS ON THE
SHIP BUILDERS BRINGING BACK
CARGO BY SAILBOAT.
>> IN HER MOVIE MOANA SAVES HER
ENTIRE ISLAND BY BOAT WITHOUT
EVER HAVING TO PAY FOR FUEL. BUT
THAT’S JUST A FANTASY FILM. WE
BELIEVE THAT THE WIND IS A
REALLY, REALLY EFFICIENT
SOLUTION TO PUSH A BOAT. OH, WE
STILL DO THAT IN A TIME OF
RECORD BREAKING CRUISE SHIPS AND
CONSTANT ONLINE DELIVERIES, THE
FRENCH COMPANY GRANDE DE SAIL IS
BRINGING BACK THE LOST ART OF
SHIPPING CARGO VIA SAILBOAT.
>> THE KEY FACTOR FOR OUR
VESSEL, THE FIRST ONE WAS TO
ALMOST KILL THE CARBON FOOTPRINT
BY 90.
>> THE IDEA CAME TO THIS MAN,
JACK BARROW, AND HIS TWIN
BROTHER OLIVIER, BACK IN 2010.
>> WE KNOW THIS PRINCIPLE FOR
CENTURIES NOW, AND IF WE USE
TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY, IT’S SO
EFFICIENT.
>> THERE ARE OTHER FOLKS TRYING
IT, LIKE THIS BOAT CALLED THE
APOLENA, WHICH WORKS IN AND
AROUND THE NEW YORK HARBOR. BUT
THIS PAST MONTH, GRAND SAILS
NEWEST AND BIGGEST SHIP ARRIVED
IN NEW YORK FOR THE FIRST TIME,
CARRYING ABOUT 240 PALLETS OF
FRENCH GOODS. THEY TYPICALLY
DELIVER WINE AND CHOCOLATE, AS
WELL AS PERFUMES AND MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS. SOON THEY’RE EVEN
EXPANDING TO OTHER COUNTRIES
GOODS LIKE OLIVE OIL AND RUM.
FOR THE MOST PART, THOUGH, IT’S
STILL FRENCH COMPANIES PAYING
THEM TO DELIVER FRENCH GOODS TO
THE STATES. BUT NOW JACK SAYS
THEY’RE LOOKING FOR AMERICAN
PARTNERS TO SHIP OUR GOODS TO
FRANCE WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR
VOYAGE HOME.
>> WE HAVE LOTS OF GREAT
AMERICAN PRODUCTS THAT YOU MIGHT
LIKE BEEF JERKY, TAYLOR SWIFT
MERCHANDISE. WE PUT BACON AND
ICE CREAM SOMETIMES FROM NEW
YORK. THE SHIP ACTUALLY HEADS
DOWN TO THE CARIBBEAN, WHERE
GRAIN TO SALES LOGISTICS HUB IS
LOCATED. AND THAT, GUYS, IS
WHERE THEY GET THE RAW MATERIALS
FOR THE CHOCOLATE, THE COFFEE,
AND EVENTUALLY THE RUM.
>> SO I SUPPOSE THAT SHIP HAS
INDEED SAILED, SAILED, AND I’M
FEELING SEASICK. ANYTHING.
>> RIGHT NOW ON AMERICA THIS
MORNING. UNREST GROWING AT MORE
COLLEGE CAMPUSES AS PROTESTS
OVER THE ISRAELI-HAMAS WAR
ESCALATE, THE ARRESTS OVERNIGHT
AND THE SECURITY CONCERNS AT
SCHOOLS FROM COAST TO COAST.
BRIDGE COLLAPSE, BLAME GAME.
>> WHAT THE CITY OF BALTIMORE IS
NOW SAYING ABOUT THE CARGO SHIP
THAT BROUGHT DOWN THE FRANCIS
SCOTT KEY BRIDGE.
>> DID FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
VIOLATE THE GAG ORDER IN HIS
HUSH MONEY TRIAL? AND IF SO,
WHAT SHOULD BE THE PUNISHMENT?
THE CRUCIAL HEARING THIS
MORNING, AS BATTLE LINES ARE
BEING DRAWN FOLLOWING OPENING
STATEMENTS.
>> BIG LABOR’S BIG WIN. THE NEW
PUSH BY THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS
TO EXPAND IN THE DEEP SOUTH
AFTER AN HISTORIC WIN IN
TENNESSEE. THE MESSAGE FROM
WORKERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA FROM A
SMOKE NATO TO A DUST DEVIL TO
ONE OF THE MOST DAMAGING HAIL
STORMS IN RECENT MEMORY. MAJOR
LEAGUE UMPIRES UNDER FIRE, ONE
EJECTING A MANAGER FOR SAYING
NOTHING, OTHERS TAKING HEAT FOR
CONTROVERSIAL CALLS. THE PUSH
FOR CHANGE IN THE BIG LEAGUES
AND LATER THE NEW STUDY THAT
CLAIMS WOMEN DOCTORS ARE BETTER
NOT JUST FOR WOMEN PATIENTS, BUT
FOR MEN TOO.
>> FROM ABC NEWS IN NEW YORK,
THIS IS AMERICA THIS MORNING.
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING, EVERYONE.
I’M ANDREW DYMBURT.
>> GOOD MORNING. I’M ALISON
KOSIK IN FOR RIHANNA. AND WE
BEGIN WITH GROWING UNREST ON
COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AMID PROTESTS OVER THE
ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR IN CALIFORNIA.
>> PROTESTERS AT ONE UNIVERSITY
BARRICADED THEMSELVES INSIDE A
BUILDING. AND HERE IN NEW YORK,
MORE THAN 150 ARRESTS AS POLICE
IN RIOT GEAR BROKE UP A CROWD.
ABC’S LIONEL MOISE BEGINS OUR
COVERAGE.
>> OVERNIGHT, TENSIONS BOILING
OVER AS PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS
SPREAD TO MORE COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
FROM COAST TO COAST.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED BY NEW
YORK UNIVERSITY TO LEAVE THE
AREA. POLICE IN RIOT GEAR
DISMANTLING THIS ENCAMPMENT AT
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, ARRESTING
MULTIPLE PEOPLE ACCUSED OF
IGNORING A DEADLINE TO DISPERSE
POLICE AND THE SCHOOL DESCRIBING
DISORDER ORDERLY, DISRUPTIVE AND
ANTAGONIZING BEHAVIOR THAT HAS
INTERFERED WITH THE SAFETY AND
SECURITY OF OUR COMMUNITY.
>> I HAD ONE OTHER EARLIER
FACULTY MEMBERS FORMED THIS
HUMAN CHAIN AROUND THE
PROTESTERS.
>> I AM A PROFESSOR HERE. I HAVE
EVERY RIGHT TO BE EVERYWHERE ON
CAMPUS AT NEARBY COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, WHERE PROTESTS ARE
ENTERING A SIXTH DAY, A
PRO-ISRAELI ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
SAID HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER
CAMPUS WHERE PROTESTERS HAVE
GATHERED, BUT WAS ALLOWED ACCESS
TO HIS BUSINESS SCHOOL DOWN THE
STREET. SOTO
USE JEWISH BRAINS. BUT THEY
DON’T WANT TO LET JEWISH PEOPLE
IN. BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO
ON CAMPUS WHERE THEY ARE
ALLOWING THE HAMAS SUPPORTERS,
AND THAT IS A SHAME.
>> THE PROFESSOR LATER POSTING
EARLIER TODAY, COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY REFUSED TO LET ME
ONTO CAMPUS. WHY BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT PROTECT MY SAFETY AS A
JEWISH PROFESSOR. THIS IS 1938.
AFTER MORE THAN 100 ARRESTS LAST
WEEK, A NEW ENCAMPMENT IS
GROWING AT COLUMBIA, ESCALATING
CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY. STUDENT
GROUPS LIKE THOSE AT OTHER
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, ARE
DEMANDING COLUMBIA DIVEST FROM
COMPANIES THAT DO BUSINESS WITH
ISRAEL. BUT CRITICS HIGHLIGHT
ANTI-SEMITIC HATE SPEECH AMONG
THE DEMONSTRATORS. NEW YORK’S
MAYOR, POINTING TO THIS IMAGE
SHOWING A WOMAN WITH A SIGN IN
FRONT OF PRO-ISRAEL PROTESTERS
READING AL-QASSAM’S NEXT TARGETS
A REFERENCE TO HAMAS MILITARY
WING.
>> THERE WERE PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF
CAMPUS ONE TIME WITH SIGNS THAT
SAID DEATH TO ALL JEWS. THAT IS
AWFUL, AND NOBODY SHOULD BE
HAVING TO EXPERIENCE THAT ON
THEIR CAMPUS.
>> A BIG NAME DONOR, NEW ENGLAND
PATRIOTS OWNER ROBERT KRAFT, NOW
PULLING SUPPORT FOR THE
UNIVERSITY. KRAFT SAYING, I’M NO
LONGER CONFIDENT THAT COLUMBIA
CAN PROTECT ITS STUDENTS AND
STAFF OVERNIGHT. COLUMBIA
ANNOUNCING CLASSES FOR THE REST
OF THE SEMESTER WILL BE HYBRID,
A COMBINATION OF IN-PERSON AND
REMOTE DUE TO THE SECURITY
CONCERNS. YESTERDAY AT YALE,
DOZENS OF ARRESTS FOR PROTESTS
THERE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN
CALIFORNIA, THE CAMPUS OF CAL
POLY HUMBOLDT IS CLOSED AS
PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS
OVERNIGHT BARRICADED THEMSELVES
INSIDE A BUILDING. REPUBLICAN
LAWMAKERS ARE DEMANDING
COLUMBIA’S PRESIDENT RESIGN OVER
HER HANDLING OF THE PROTESTS.
AND AS SOON AS TOMORROW, SHE
COULD FACE A CENSURE VOTE FROM
THE UNIVERSITY SENATE. ANDREW
ALLISON, LIONEL, THANK YOU.
>> AND NOW TO BALTIMORE AND A
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE WAKE OF
THAT DEADLY BRIDGE COLLAPSE LAST
MONTH, INCLUDING NEW CLAIMS
ABOUT WHO’S AT FAULT. THIS
MORNING, THE CITY OF BALTIMORE,
WITH NEW ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE
OWNER OF THE DOLLY, THE CARGO
SHIP THAT LOST POWER AND SLAMMED
INTO THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
BRIDGE LAST MONTH, CAUSING IT TO
COLLAPSE, KILLING SIX
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. IN A NEW
COURT FILING, LAWYERS FOR THE
CITY ARGUE THE DOLLY’S OWNER
FAILED TO REPAIR KNOWN POWER
PROBLEMS BEFORE THE COLLISION,
SAYING EVEN BEFORE LEAVING PORT,
ALARMS SHOWING INCONSISTENT
POWER SUPPLY ON THE DOLLY HAD
SOUNDED, BUT THE DOLLY LEFT PORT
ANYWAYS. THE COMPANY HAS SOUGHT
TO CAP ITS LIABILITY AT $43
MILLION, BUT BALTIMORE LEADERS
ARGUE THE LIABILITY SHOULD NOT
BE CAPPED, CLAIMING THE
COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE CAUSED THEM
TO DESTROY THE KEY BRIDGE AND
SINGLE HANDEDLY SHUT DOWN THE
PORT OF BALTIMORE, A SOURCE OF
JOBS AND REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
>> I THINK THE LAST BIG
DEVASTATION WAS THE PANDEMIC,
AND PRIOR TO THAT, NINE OVER 11.
IN THE CASE OF A PORT CLOSING,
WHAT’S THE NEAREST PORT THAT WE
CAN BRING THIS PRODUCT INTO? THE
COLLAPSE HALTED MOST TRAFFIC
THROUGH THE PORT OF BALTIMORE
SALVAGE CREWS HAVE OPENED THREE
TEMPORARY CHANNELS TO ALLOW SOME
VESSELS TO PASS THROUGH ABOUT
15% OF NORMAL TRAFFIC, BUT THE
MAIN SHIPPING CHANNEL IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLOSED FOR
SEVERAL MORE WEEKS.
>> AS A RESULT, EXPERTS SAY,
CONSUMERS CAN EXPECT HIGHER
PRICES ON SOME GOODS, PRIMARILY
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND HOME
BUILDING PRODUCTS.
>> I THINK THAT’S ALWAYS A
CERTAINTY, TO BE HONEST. I THINK
MOST SUPPLIERS ARE OF THE
MINDSET THAT THEY HAVE TO PASS
COSTS ALONG WHEN UNEXPECTED
THINGS HAPPEN AND COSTS INCREASE
.
>> BUT A FEDERAL COURT WILL
ULTIMATELY DECIDE WHO’S
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRIDGE
COLLAPSE.
>> ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT A MAJOR
AIRPORT, THIS TIME AT NEW YORK’S
JFK AIRPORT. LISTEN AS A PILOT
REALIZED FOUR PLANES WERE
CROSSING THE SAME RUNWAY AFTER
HE WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF.
>> THIS WAS 170 ABOVE THE RUNWAY
FOR LEFT THERE FOR TAKEOFF, ONE
SEVEN KILO HEAVY REJECTED
TAKEOFF ON THE RUNWAY.
>> THIS WAS AIRPLANE ABORTED
TAKEOFF. IT HAPPENED LAST
WEDNESDAY, ONE DAY BEFORE
ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT
WASHINGTON’S REAGAN AIRPORT. THE
FAA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED STAFFING
SHORTAGES AND HAS VOWED TO
REDUCE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER
FATIGUE.
>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
CRIMINAL TRIAL RESUMES IN NEW
YORK TODAY. BUT FIRST, A DISPUTE
OVER WHETHER HE VIOLATED THE
JUDGE’S GAG ORDER. ABC’S EM
NGUYEN HAS THOSE DETAILS. M GOOD
MORNING.
>> ANDREW. GOOD MORNING.
PROSECUTORS ARE HEADED TO COURT
TODAY WITH POSTS FROM TRUMP’S
SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, WHICH
THEY CLAIM VIOLATE THE COURT’S
GAG ORDER. THIS MORNING,
PROSECUTORS AND FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL ARE
REQUESTING HE BE HELD IN
CONTEMPT, CLAIMING TRUMP
VIOLATED A GAG ORDER TEN TIMES
IN RECENT DAYS. THE LIST OF
POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS INCLUDES
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT LINKED
TO ARTICLES CALLING MICHAEL
COHEN A KEY WITNESS IN THE TRIAL
A SERIAL PERJURER. PROSECUTORS
WANT THE JUDGE TO FIND TRUMP
$1,000 PER VIOLATION AND
THREATENED FURTHER PENALTIES.
THE JUDGE SCHEDULED A HEARING ON
THE ISSUE BEFORE WITNESS
TESTIMONY RESUMES TODAY.
>> IT’S A VERY, VERY SAD DAY IN
AMERICA. I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
>> PROSECUTORS ALLEGE TRUMP
FALSIFIED BUSINESS RECORDS TO
DISGUISE A $130,000 PAYMENT TO
STAR STORMY DANIELS, DAYS BEFORE
THE 2016 ELECTION, SO VOTERS
WOULD NOT FIND OUT ABOUT DANIELS
CLAIM OF AN AFFAIR. AT THE TIME,
NEWS HAD JUST BROKEN OF THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE, WHERE
TRUMP IS HEARD BRAGGING ABOUT
GROPING WOMEN.
>> WHEN YOU’RE A STAR, THEY LET
YOU DO IT. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
DURING OPENING STATEMENTS
YESTERDAY, THE PROSECUTOR QUOTED
TRUMP’S WORDS TO THE JURY,
SAYING THE TAPES IMPACT WAS
EXPLOSIVE AND TRUMP AND HIS
CAMPAIGN WERE DEEPLY CONCERNED.
>> WHEN TRUMP LEARNED DANIELS
WAS SHOPPING A STORY,
PROSECUTORS SAID HE WAS ADAMANT
WORD OF THE ALLEGED AFFAIR NOT
COME OUT. TRUMP DENIES ANY
WRONGDOING, HIS ATTORNEY TELLING
THE JURY I HAVE A SPOILER ALERT.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
TRYING TO INFLUENCE AN ELECTION.
IT’S CALLED DEMOCRACY AND THE
DEFENSE CLAIMED COHEN HAS AN
OBSESSION WITH GETTING TRUMP AND
THAT HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. THEIR
FIRST WITNESS CALLED TO THE
STAND WAS DAVID PECKER, THE
FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE NATIONAL
ENQUIRER. PECKER HAS
ACKNOWLEDGED BY NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP ONLY TO BURY THEM, A
PRACTICE KNOWN AS CATCH AND
KILL. ON THE STAND, PECKER WAS
BLUNT, SAYING, WE USED CHECKBOOK
JOURNALISM. WE PAID FOR STORIES.
PECKER MADE A DEAL WITH
PROSECUTORS TO AVOID CHARGES
HIMSELF. HE’LL BE BACK ON THE
STAND TODAY.
>> ALLISON THANKS, SAM. THE MAN
ACCUSED OF BREAKING INTO THE
OFFICIAL RESIDENCE OF LOS
ANGELES MAYOR KAREN BASS WAS
REPORTEDLY ABLE TO GET ONTO THE
SECOND FLOOR BEFORE BEING
ARRESTED. THE LA TIMES REPORTS.
THE MAYOR AND HER FAMILY HID IN
A SAFE ROOM AFTER THE MAN
SMASHED A WINDOW. THE SUSPECT,
PREVIOUSLY SERVED PRISON TIME

IT’S UNCLEAR IF THE BREAK IN WAS
TARGETED.

INSURER IS TRYING TO LIMIT THE
DAMAGE FROM A MAJOR CYBER
ATTACK. UNITEDHEALTH GROUP NOW
SAYS A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF
PATIENT DATA WAS STOLEN FROM ITS
SYSTEMS IN FEBRUARY, INCLUDING
PERSONAL AND HEALTH INFORMATION.
THE COMPANY SAYS THE HACK CAME
DESPITE PAYING A RANSOM.
>> EROTIC WINDS HELPED CREATE A
SO-CALLED SMOKE NATO AT A
WAREHOUSE FIRE IN WASHINGTON
STATE. EVACUATIONS WERE ORDERED
SUNDAY. CREWS WERE STILL ON THE
SCENE YESTERDAY, PUTTING OUT
HOTSPOTS. AND THIS RIGHT HERE

TWISTER, A FAMILY’S BOUNCE HOUSE
SOARING INTO THE AIR WHEN A DUST
DEVIL FORMED OUTSIDE LOS
ANGELES. WOW. THE WIND ALSO
TOSSED AROUND A TRAMPOLINE. NO
ONE WAS HURT WITH THAT.

OUTSIDE BOSTON, OFFICERS TRACKED
A SPEEDING LEXUS ACROSS MULTIPLE
HIGHWAYS. THEY SAY THE CAR WAS
STOLEN. THE CHASE ENDED WHEN THE
CAR CRASHED INTO THE TOWN OF
NORTHBOROUGH. THREE PEOPLE,
INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE JUVENILE,
NOW FACE CHARGES.
>> THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS UNION
IS LOOKING TO EXPAND IN THE
SOUTH. WORKERS AT TWO MERCEDES
PLANTS IN ALABAMA WILL VOTE NEXT
MONTH ON WHETHER TO JOIN THE
UNION. IT COMES AFTER A
VOLKSWAGEN PLANT IN TENNESSEE
VOTED TO UNIONIZE FRIDAY,
BECOMING THE FIRST SOUTHERN
PLANT OWNED BY A FOREIGN
AUTOMAKER TO JOIN THE UAW.
>> WHAT CHANGED THE MOST IS
EVERYBODY STARTED SEEING WHAT WE
COULD GET WHEN THE BIG THREE
WENT ON STRIKE AND THEY SAID,
WAIT, HOLD ON. IF THEY CAN GET
ALL THIS, WE SHOULD TOO.
>> THE GOVERNORS OF FIVE
SOUTHERN STATES URGED WORKERS
NOT TO UNIONIZE, SAYING THE
UNION WILL THREATEN JOBS. THE
UAW PRESIDENT CALLED THE
GOVERNORS PUPPETS FOR CORPORATE
AMERICA.
>> WE TURN NOW TO THE SUPREME
COURT, WEIGHING IN ON A CASE
THAT COULD DECIDE HOW THE
GOVERNMENT FIGHTS HOMELESSNESS.
THIS MORNING, THE SUPREME COURT
APPEARS OPEN TO ALLOWING CITIES
AND TOWNS TO CRIMINALLY PUNISH
HOMELESS PEOPLE AT ISSUE WHETHER
GOVERNMENTS CAN TICKET FINE OR
POSSIBLY JAIL HOMELESS PEOPLE
WHO SLEEP OUTSIDE IN PUBLIC
AREAS. OPPONENTS ARGUE THAT
VIOLATES THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT,
WHICH PROHIBITS CRUEL AND
UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT. JUSTICE AMY
CONEY BARRETT, QUESTIONING THAT
CLAIM SO IT WOULD NOT VIOLATE
THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO PUNISH
PUBLIC URINATION AND DEFECATION.
THE CASE STEMS FROM THE CITY OF
GRANTS PASS, OREGON, WHICH HAS
BANNED ANYONE WHO SLEEPS IN
PUBLIC FROM USING A BLANKET,
PILLOW OR CARDBOARD BOX.
>> I THINK THAT IT IS HARMFUL
FOR PEOPLE TO BE LIVING IN
PUBLIC SPACES ON STREETS AND IN
PARKS, WHATEVER BEDDING
MATERIALS. WHEN HUMANS ARE
LIVING IN THOSE CONDITIONS, WE
THINK THAT THAT’S NOT
COMPASSIONATE.
>> THE CASE HAS NATIONWIDE
IMPLICATIONS AMID THE EXPANDING
PROBLEM OF HOMELESSNESS AND
PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS. WHILE
MANY JUSTICES APPEARED
SYMPATHETIC TO THE CITY, OTHERS
POINTED OUT THE NEED FOR
HOMELESS PEOPLE TO SLEEP
SOMEWHERE.
>> IT’S SORT OF LIKE BREATHING.
I MEAN, YOU COULD SAY BREATHING
IS CONDUCT, TOO, BUT PRESUMABLY
YOU WOULD NOT THINK THAT IT’S
OKAY TO CRIMINALIZE BREATHING IN
PUBLIC.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO POINT TO THE
FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR A
HOMELESS PERSON WHO HAS NO PLACE
TO GO SLEEPING IN PUBLIC IS KIND
OF LIKE BREATHING IN PUBLIC.
>> ONE QUESTION THE JUSTICES
WILL NEED TO DECIDE IS WHETHER
HOMELESSNESS IS SOMEONE’S STATUS
OR THEIR CONDUCT. THEIR RULING
IS EXPECTED IN JUNE.
>> COMING UP, A NEW LEGAL BATTLE
IN THE WORLD OF LUXURY HANDBAGS.

So much on the line, more
Americans turn here than any

News Tonight, with David Muir.
America’s number one, most
watched news cast across all of
television,
Give it to me.
Not about parents who just let
their kid watch violent movies
play violent video games. This
is about parents who neglected
their son ignored his cries for
help. Then bought him a gun
the first parents in America to
be charged in a school shooting.
They purchased that
gun for him and bragged about
it.
You don’t get to walk away from
that that’s a criminal act sins
of the parents. The crumbly
trials. The opposite of love is
not hate. It’s just being
ignored only on Hulu.

EARLIER AFTER A SEPARATE
OUTBURST, BUT HAVING SAID
NOTHING THIS TIME, BOONE
CONFRONTED HIM, UNLOADING
EXPLETIVES. IT’S BOONE’S 34TH
EJECTION SINCE 2018, THE MOST OF
ANY BIG LEAGUE MANAGER. AFTER
THE GAME, HE SAID THIS ABOUT THE

IS A BAD. IT’S EMBARRASSING. I
HEARD YOU’RE GONE, AARON. AND
THAT’S WHAT I WAS LIKE. I
COULDN’T BELIEVE IT.

STEUDTNER RODE A WAVE THAT

PORTUGAL.
>> GNARLY. HE CALLED IT SURFING
THE UNSURVIVABLE BECAUSE IT
HAPPENED DURING A STORM. NICE.
NEXT, A NEW STUDY SHOWS WE ARE
LESS LIKELY TO DIE IN THE HANDS
OF A WOMAN DOCTOR. RESEARCHERS
CLAIM MALE AND FEMALE DOCTORS
PRACTICE MEDICINE DIFFERENTLY.
>> WOMEN DOCTORS TEND TO SPEND
MORE TIME WITH PATIENTS AND TAKE
LONGER WITH SURGERIES THAN THEIR
MALE COUNTERPARTS, THE STUDY
FOUND THAT THE LOWER MORTALITY
RATE AND PATIENTS OF FEMALE
DOCTORS DOCTORS WAS CLINICALLY
SIGNIFICANT.

REALLY, REALLY EFFICIENT
SOLUTION TO PUSH A BOAT. OH, WE
STILL DO THAT IN A TIME OF
RECORD BREAKING CRUISE SHIPS AND
CONSTANT ONLINE DELIVERIES, THE
FRENCH COMPANY GRANDE DE SAIL IS
BRINGING BACK THE LOST ART OF
SHIPPING CARGO VIA SAILBOAT.
>> THE KEY FACTOR FOR OUR
VESSEL, THE FIRST ONE WAS TO
ALMOST KILL THE CARBON FOOTPRINT

>> THE IDEA CAME TO THIS MAN,
JACK BARROW, AND HIS TWIN
BROTHER OLIVIER, BACK IN 2010.
>> WE KNOW THIS PRINCIPLE FOR
CENTURIES NOW, AND IF WE USE
TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY, IT’S SO
EFFICIENT.
>> THERE ARE OTHER FOLKS TRYING
IT, LIKE THIS BOAT CALLED THE
APOLENA, WHICH WORKS IN AND
AROUND THE NEW YORK HARBOR. BUT
THIS PAST MONTH, GRAND SAILS
NEWEST AND BIGGEST SHIP ARRIVED
IN NEW YORK FOR THE FIRST TIME,
CARRYING ABOUT 240 PALLETS OF
FRENCH GOODS. THEY TYPICALLY
DELIVER WINE AND CHOCOLATE, AS
WELL AS PERFUMES AND MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS. SOON THEY’RE EVEN
EXPANDING TO OTHER COUNTRIES
GOODS LIKE OLIVE OIL AND RUM.
FOR THE MOST PART, THOUGH, IT’S
STILL FRENCH COMPANIES PAYING
THEM TO DELIVER FRENCH GOODS TO
THE STATES. BUT NOW JACK SAYS
THEY’RE LOOKING FOR AMERICAN
PARTNERS TO SHIP OUR GOODS TO
FRANCE WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR
VOYAGE HOME.
>> WE HAVE LOTS OF GREAT
AMERICAN PRODUCTS THAT YOU MIGHT
LIKE BEEF JERKY, TAYLOR SWIFT
MERCHANDISE. WE PUT BACON AND
ICE CREAM SOMETIMES FROM NEW

EVERY RIGHT TO BE EVERYWHERE ON
CAMPUS AT NEARBY COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, WHERE PROTESTS ARE
ENTERING A SIXTH DAY, A
PRO-ISRAELI ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
SAID HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER
CAMPUS WHERE PROTESTERS HAVE
GATHERED, BUT WAS ALLOWED ACCESS
TO HIS BUSINESS SCHOOL DOWN THE
STREET. SOSOG TO
USE JEWISH BRAINS. BUT THEY
DON’T WANT TO LET JEWISH PEOPLE
IN. BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO
ON CAMPUS WHERE THEY ARE
ALLOWING THE HAMAS SUPPORTERS,
AND THAT IS A SHAME.
>> THE PROFESSOR LATER POSTING
EARLIER TODAY, COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY REFUSED TO LET ME
ONTO CAMPUS. WHY BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT PROTECT MY SAFETY AS A
JEWISH PROFESSOR. THIS IS 1938.
AFTER MORE THAN 100 ARRESTS LAST
WEEK, A NEW ENCAMPMENT IS
GROWING AT COLUMBIA, ESCALATING
CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY. STUDENT

ALLISON, LIONEL, THANK YOU.
>> AND NOW TO BALTIMORE AND A
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE WAKE OF
THAT DEADLY BRIDGE COLLAPSE LAST
MONTH, INCLUDING NEW CLAIMS
ABOUT WHO’S AT FAULT. THIS
MORNING, THE CITY OF BALTIMORE,
WITH NEW ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE
OWNER OF THE DOLLY, THE CARGO
SHIP THAT LOST POWER AND SLAMMED
INTO THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
BRIDGE LAST MONTH, CAUSING IT TO
COLLAPSE, KILLING SIX
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. IN A NEW
COURT FILING, LAWYERS FOR THE
CITY ARGUE THE DOLLY’S OWNER
FAILED TO REPAIR KNOWN POWER
PROBLEMS BEFORE THE COLLISION,
SAYING EVEN BEFORE LEAVING PORT,
ALARMS SHOWING INCONSISTENT
POWER SUPPLY ON THE DOLLY HAD
SOUNDED, BUT THE DOLLY LEFT PORT
ANYWAYS. THE COMPANY HAS SOUGHT
TO CAP ITS LIABILITY AT $43
MILLION, BUT BALTIMORE LEADERS
ARGUE THE LIABILITY SHOULD NOT
BE CAPPED, CLAIMING THE
COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE CAUSED THEM
TO DESTROY THE KEY BRIDGE AND
SINGLE HANDEDLY SHUT DOWN THE
PORT OF BALTIMORE, A SOURCE OF
JOBS AND REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
>> I THINK THE LAST BIG
DEVASTATION WAS THE PANDEMIC,
AND PRIOR TO THAT, NINE OVER 11.
IN THE CASE OF A PORT CLOSING,
WHAT’S THE NEAREST PORT THAT WE
CAN BRING THIS PRODUCT INTO? THE
COLLAPSE HALTED MOST TRAFFIC
THROUGH THE PORT OF BALTIMORE
SALVAGE CREWS HAVE OPENED THREE
TEMPORARY CHANNELS TO ALLOW SOME
VESSELS TO PASS THROUGH ABOUT
15% OF NORMAL TRAFFIC, BUT THE
MAIN SHIPPING CHANNEL IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLOSED FOR
SEVERAL MORE WEEKS.
>> AS A RESULT, EXPERTS SAY,
CONSUMERS CAN EXPECT HIGHER
PRICES ON SOME GOODS, PRIMARILY
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND HOME
BUILDING PRODUCTS.
>> I THINK THAT’S ALWAYS A
CERTAINTY, TO BE HONEST. I THINK
MOST SUPPLIERS ARE OF THE
MINDSET THAT THEY HAVE TO PASS
COSTS ALONG WHEN UNEXPECTED
THINGS HAPPEN AND COSTS INCREASE
.
>> BUT A FEDERAL COURT WILL
ULTIMATELY DECIDE WHO’S
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRIDGE
COLLAPSE.
>> ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT A MAJOR
AIRPORT, THIS TIME AT NEW YORK’S

TAKEOFF. IT HAPPENED LAST
WEDNESDAY, ONE DAY BEFORE

FATIGUE.
>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
CRIMINAL TRIAL RESUMES IN NEW
YORK TODAY. BUT FIRST, A DISPUTE

NGUYEN HAS THOSE DETAILS. M GOOD

GAG ORDER. THIS MORNING,
PROSECUTORS AND FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL ARE

CONTEMPT, CLAIMING TRUMP
VIOLATED A GAG ORDER TEN TIMES
IN RECENT DAYS. THE LIST OF
POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS INCLUDES
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT LINKED
TO ARTICLES CALLING MICHAEL
COHEN A KEY WITNESS IN THE TRIAL
A SERIAL PERJURER. PROSECUTORS
WANT THE JUDGE TO FIND TRUMP
$1,000 PER VIOLATION AND
THREATENED FURTHER PENALTIES.
THE JUDGE SCHEDULED A HEARING ON
THE ISSUE BEFORE WITNESS
TESTIMONY RESUMES TODAY.
>> IT’S A VERY, VERY SAD DAY IN
AMERICA. I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
>> PROSECUTORS ALLEGE TRUMP
FALSIFIED BUSINESS RECORDS TO
DISGUISE A $130,000 PAYMENT TO
STAR STORMY DANIELS, DAYS BEFORE
THE 2016 ELECTION, SO VOTERS
WOULD NOT FIND OUT ABOUT DANIELS
CLAIM OF AN AFFAIR. AT THE TIME,
NEWS HAD JUST BROKEN OF THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE, WHERE
TRUMP IS HEARD BRAGGING ABOUT
GROPING WOMEN.
>> WHEN YOU’RE A STAR, THEY LET
YOU DO IT. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
DURING OPENING STATEMENTS
YESTERDAY, THE PROSECUTOR QUOTED
TRUMP’S WORDS TO THE JURY,
SAYING THE TAPES IMPACT WAS
EXPLOSIVE AND TRUMP AND HIS
CAMPAIGN WERE DEEPLY CONCERNED.
>> WHEN TRUMP LEARNED DANIELS
WAS SHOPPING A STORY,
PROSECUTORS SAID HE WAS ADAMANT
WORD OF THE ALLEGED AFFAIR NOT
COME OUT. TRUMP DENIES ANY
WRONGDOING, HIS ATTORNEY TELLING
THE JURY I HAVE A SPOILER ALERT.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
TRYING TO INFLUENCE AN ELECTION.
IT’S CALLED DEMOCRACY AND THE
DEFENSE CLAIMED COHEN HAS AN
OBSESSION WITH GETTING TRUMP AND
THAT HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. THEIR
FIRST WITNESS CALLED TO THE
STAND WAS DAVID PECKER, THE
FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE NATIONAL
ENQUIRER. PECKER HAS
ACKNOWLEDGED BY NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP ONLY TO BURY THEM, A
PRACTICE KNOWN AS CATCH AND
KILL. ON THE STAND, PECKER WAS
BLUNT, SAYING, WE USED CHECKBOOK
JOURNALISM. WE PAID FOR STORIES.
PECKER MADE A DEAL WITH
PROSECUTORS TO AVOID CHARGES
HIMSELF. HE’LL BE BACK ON THE
STAND TODAY.
>> ALLISON THANKS, SAM. THE MAN

THIS MORNING, THE SUPREME COURT
APPEARS OPEN TO ALLOWING CITIES

HOMELESS PEOPLE AT ISSUE WHETHER
GOVERNMENTS CAN TICKET FINE OR
POSSIBLY JAIL HOMELESS PEOPLE
WHO SLEEP OUTSIDE IN PUBLIC
AREAS. OPPONENTS ARGUE THAT
VIOLATES THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT,
WHICH PROHIBITS CRUEL AND
UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT. JUSTICE AMY
CONEY BARRETT, QUESTIONING THAT
CLAIM SO IT WOULD NOT VIOLATE
THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO PUNISH

FOR PEOPLE TO BE LIVING IN

COMPASSIONATE.
>> THE CASE HAS NATIONWIDE
IMPLICATIONS AMID THE EXPANDING
PROBLEM OF HOMELESSNESS AND
PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS. WHILE
MANY JUSTICES APPEARED
SYMPATHETIC TO THE CITY, OTHERS
POINTED OUT THE NEED FOR
HOMELESS PEOPLE TO SLEEP
SOMEWHERE.
>> IT’S SORT OF LIKE BREATHING.
I MEAN, YOU COULD SAY BREATHING
IS CONDUCT, TOO, BUT PRESUMABLY
YOU WOULD NOT THINK THAT IT’S
OKAY TO CRIMINALIZE BREATHING IN
PUBLIC.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO POINT TO THE
FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR A
HOMELESS PERSON WHO HAS NO PLACE
TO GO SLEEPING IN PUBLIC IS KIND
OF LIKE BREATHING IN PUBLIC.
>> ONE QUESTION THE JUSTICES
WILL NEED TO DECIDE IS WHETHER
HOMELESSNESS IS SOMEONE’S STATUS
OR THEIR CONDUCT. THEIR RULING
IS EXPECTED IN JUNE.

BEGIN WITH A PAIR OF WILD
ENDINGS IN THE NBA PLAYOFFS, THE
NUGGETS AND LAKERS WERE LOOKING

STEUDTNER RODE A WAVE THAT
MEASURED NEARLY 94FT HIGH OFF
PORTUGAL.
>> GNARLY. HE CALLED IT SURFING
THE UNSURVIVABLE BECAUSE IT
HAPPENED DURING A STORM. NICE.
NEXT, A NEW STUDY SHOWS WE ARE
LESS LIKELY TO DIE IN THE HANDS
OF A WOMAN DOCTOR. RESEARCHERS
CLAIM MALE AND FEMALE DOCTORS
PRACTICE MEDICINE DIFFERENTLY.
>> WOMEN DOCTORS TEND TO SPEND
MORE TIME WITH PATIENTS AND TAKE
LONGER WITH SURGERIES THAN THEIR
MALE COUNTERPARTS, THE STUDY
FOUND THAT THE LOWER MORTALITY
RATE AND PATIENTS OF FEMALE
DOCTORS DOCTORS WAS CLINICALLY
SIGNIFICANT.
>> NEXT UP PROPOSAL TO STOP
PEOPLE FROM CUTTING THE SECURITY
LINE AT THE AIRPORT. SO A NEW
BILL IN CALIFORNIA WOULD STOP
ANY FUTURE DEALS WITH VENDORS

PROTESTS OVER THE ISRAEL-HAMAS
WAR ARE ESCALATING ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES. POLICE, HANDCUFFED
STUDENTS AND FACULTY AT NEW YORK
UNIVERSITY AND CAL STATE
POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY HAS
SWITCHED TO REMOTE LEARNING
AFTER PROTESTERS BARRICADE
THEMSELVES IN A BUILDING IN LOS
ANGELES COUNTY.
>> A SHERIFF’S DEPUTY HAS BEEN
SHOT WHILE SITTING ON HIS
MOTORCYCLE. INVESTIGATORS SAY
THE DEPUTY WAS SHOT IN THE BACK
AS HE WAITED FOR A RED LIGHT.
THEY SAY HE WAS WEARING A
BULLETPROOF VEST, WHICH LIKELY
SAVED HIS LIFE. AUTHORITIES WERE
SEARCHING FOR THE GUNMAN
OVERNIGHT.
>> ARIZONA PROSECUTORS ARE
DECIDING WHETHER TO RETRY A
RANCHER ACCUSED OF KILLING A
MEXICAN MIGRANT ON HIS PROPERTY
LAST YEAR, A MISTRIAL WAS
DECLARED IN GEORGE ALLEN KELLY’S
MURDER CASE. JURORS FAILED TO
REACH A VERDICT AFTER 15 HOURS
OF DELIBERATIONS.
>> TODAY’S WEATHER CLEAR ACROSS
THE WEST. STORMS IN OKLAHOMA AND
TEXAS AND SHOWERS FOR THE
MIDWEST. CLEAR AND MILD, THOUGH
ON THE EAST COAST.
>> AND FINALLY ON THIS EARTH
WEEK, A CHANGE ON THE HIGH SEAS.
>> DANNY. NEW REPORTS ON THE
SHIP BUILDERS BRINGING BACK
CARGO BY SAILBOAT.
>> IN HER MOVIE MOANA SAVES HER
ENTIRE ISLAND BY BOAT WITHOUT
EVER HAVING TO PAY FOR FUEL. BUT
THAT’S JUST A FANTASY FILM. WE
BELIEVE THAT THE WIND IS A
REALLY, REALLY EFFICIENT
SOLUTION TO PUSH A BOAT. OH, WE
STILL DO THAT IN A TIME OF
RECORD BREAKING CRUISE SHIPS AND
CONSTANT ONLINE DELIVERIES, THE
FRENCH COMPANY GRANDE DE SAIL IS
BRINGING BACK THE LOST ART OF
SHIPPING CARGO VIA SAILBOAT.
>> THE KEY FACTOR FOR OUR
VESSEL, THE FIRST ONE WAS TO
ALMOST KILL THE CARBON FOOTPRINT
BY 90.
>> THE IDEA CAME TO THIS MAN,
JACK BARROW, AND HIS TWIN
BROTHER OLIVIER, BACK IN 2010.
>> WE KNOW THIS PRINCIPLE FOR
CENTURIES NOW, AND IF WE USE
TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY, IT’S SO
EFFICIENT.
>> THERE ARE OTHER FOLKS TRYING
IT, LIKE THIS BOAT CALLED THE
APOLENA, WHICH WORKS IN AND
AROUND THE NEW YORK HARBOR. BUT
THIS PAST MONTH, GRAND SAILS
NEWEST AND BIGGEST SHIP ARRIVED
IN NEW YORK FOR THE FIRST TIME,
CARRYING ABOUT 240 PALLETS OF
FRENCH GOODS. THEY TYPICALLY
DELIVER WINE AND CHOCOLATE, AS
WELL AS PERFUMES AND MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS. SOON THEY’RE EVEN
EXPANDING TO OTHER COUNTRIES
GOODS LIKE OLIVE OIL AND RUM.
FOR THE MOST PART, THOUGH, IT’S
STILL FRENCH COMPANIES PAYING
THEM TO DELIVER FRENCH GOODS TO
THE STATES. BUT NOW JACK SAYS
THEY’RE LOOKING FOR AMERICAN
PARTNERS TO SHIP OUR GOODS TO
FRANCE WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR
VOYAGE HOME.
>> WE HAVE LOTS OF GREAT
AMERICAN PRODUCTS THAT YOU MIGHT
LIKE BEEF JERKY, TAYLOR SWIFT
MERCHANDISE. WE PUT BACON AND
ICE CREAM SOMETIMES FROM NEW
YORK. THE SHIP ACTUALLY HEADS
DOWN TO THE CARIBBEAN, WHERE
GRAIN TO SALES LOGISTICS HUB IS
LOCATED. AND THAT, GUYS, IS
WHERE THEY GET THE RAW MATERIALS
FOR THE CHOCOLATE, THE COFFEE,
AND EVENTUALLY THE RUM.
>> SO I SUPPOSE THAT SHIP HAS
INDEED SAILED, SAILED, AND I’M
FEELING SEASICK. ANYTHING
THAT’S JUST MAKING THESE
AMERICANS HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY
.
>> IT’S TUESDAY, APRIL
20 THIRD.
AND DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST
CRIMINAL TRIAL IS UNDERWAY.
WE START HERE.
>> PROSECUTORS BEGIN GIVING
THEIR CASE TO JURORS IN THE
TRUMP HUSH MONEY TRIAL.
THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE
THIS CASE AS MUCH ABOUT MICHAEL
COHEN AS POSSIBLE.
BUT IF YOU’RE STILL UNCLEAR
WHAT THEY’RE EVEN ARGUING
ABOUT, DON’T WORRY.
I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
WE’RE GOING TO BREAK THIS
ALL DOWN FOR YOU RIGHT HERE.
>> PROTESTERS SET UP CAMP
ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP
DEMONSTRATING UNTIL THEY SEE
SOME SORT OF A CHANGE.
AND NOW SOME OF THESE TENT
CITIES ARE BEING RAIDED.
WHAT DO YOU DO IF A TENT IS THE
ONLY HOME YOU HAVE?
I WOULD SAY TO THEM, WALK A DAY
IN OUR SHOES.
THIS SUPREME COURT TAKES ON A
CASE THAT COULD RESHAPE
YOUR CITY’S POLICY
ON HOMELESSNESS.
>> FROM ABC NEWS.
START HERE.
I’M BRAD MIELKE.
>> NEVER IN AMERICAN HISTORY
HAVE WE SEEN THIS.
A FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT SITTING
BEFORE JURY FACING CRIMINAL
CHARGES.
BUT YESTERDAY IN NEW YORK CITY.
THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT WE SAW
AS LOUD AND CIRCUS LIKE AS THIS
HAS APPEARED OUTSIDE.
>> THIS IS DONE AS ELECTION
INTERFERENCE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THIS CASE
INSIDE COURT HAS THE POTENTIAL
TO BE KIND OF WONKY
AND CONFUSING.
>> FOR INSTANCE, IT’S BEEN
CALLED A HUSH MONEY TRIAL,
BUT THE CHARGE ISN’T SO MUCH
ABOUT HUSH MONEY TO AN ADULT
FILM ACTRESS, AS IT IS ABOUT
WHETHER FINANCIAL RECORDS WERE
FALSIFIED AROUND THOSE
PAYMENTS, PUTS IN AN INVOICE OR
WHATEVER A BILL.
AND THEY SAY THEY GOT A LEGAL
EXPENSE.
I GOT THE DATA FOR THAT.
>> AND FOR DONALD TRUMP TO
BE FOUND GUILTY.
PROSECUTORS WILL HAVE TO PROVE
EVEN MORE THAN THAT.
YESTERDAY, THIS TRIAL GOT
UNDERWAY.
12 JURORS SAT IN THE BOX,
LISTENED TO OPENING STATEMENTS
,AND THEN LISTENED TO THE
PEOPLE OF NEW YORK’S FIRST
WITNESS.
ABC’S CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST
DAN ABRAMS IS HERE TO BREAK IT
DOWN.
AND DAN, I FEEL LIKE WE’RE
ALL GOING TO BE HEARING
ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY.
>> I JUST WANT TO GET US ALL
ON THE SAME PAGE.
SO CAN YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND
BOTH SIDES HERE?
FIRST OF ALL, THE PROSECUTION,
WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO PROVE
TO THE JURY HERE?
>> FIRST AND FOREMOST,
THEY’RE TRYING TO CONVINCE
THE JURY THIS IS A BIG DEAL,
THAT THIS ISN’T JUST ABOUT SOME
BODY CHECKING THE WRONG BOXES
OR MISS FILING.
THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT THIS
BEING A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY
AND THEY’RE EXPLAINING EXACTLY
HOW IT HAPPENED, WHO IS
INVOLVED.
BUT IN THE END, THAT THEY ARGUE
THE GOAL WAS TO PROTECT DONALD
TRUMP IN THE 2016 ELECTION
AND THAT THAT WAS A CRIME
BECAUSE BECAUSE IT’S NOT
ILLEGAL TO DO A HUSH MONEY
PAYMENT, BUT IT IS ILLEGAL
TO DO IT IN THIS WAY.
>> IS THAT THE GIST?
RIGHT.
HUSH MONEY PAYMENT IN AND
OF ITSELF, NOT ILLEGAL.
THAT’S WHAT THE DEFENSE HOPES.
THE JURY TAKES AWAY FROM THIS.
WHICH IS.
WAIT A SEC.
WHAT?
THIS WAS A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT,
AND IT’S NOT EVEN ILLEGAL.
>> NO, NO.
PROSECUTORS ARE SAYING IT’S NOT
ABOUT THE PAYMENT.
IT’S ABOUT THE WAY YOU LIED
IN YOUR BUSINESS RECORDS.
ABOUT WHAT?
AND THAT THE GOAL IDOING
THAT WAS TO VIOLATE ELECTION
LAW.
AND THAT’S A CRITICAL PIECE
OF THIS, BECAUSE IF IT’S JUST
ABOUT THE RECORDS AND THE
FALSIFICATION OF RECORDS,
THAT’S A MISDEMEANOR.
>> RIGHT.
TO GET YOU TO THE FELONY, WHICH
IS WHAT THEY’RE CHARGING HERE.
YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SHOW
THAT IT WAS IN AN EFFORT
TO CONCEAL OR COMMIT ANOTHER
CRIME.
>> WELL, AND THAT’S WHAT I
FIND.
SO INTERESTING, BECAUSE EARLY
ON WHEN THIS CASE WAS
ANNOUNCED, LEGAL ANALYSTS HAD
SAID, LOOK, THIS CASE SOUNDS
A LITTLE WOBBLY BECAUSE, LIKE
YOU SAID, FALSIFICATION
OF BUSINESS RECORDS, THIS WOULD
USUALLY BE A MISDEMEANOR UNLESS
YOU’RE BREAKING, WHAT, LIKE
FEDERAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS?
IS THAT WHAT THE PROSECUTION
HAS TO PROVE, THAT THIS HAS
ALL BEEN IN SERVICE LIKE
THAT TO PROVE THAT A FEDERAL
LAW WAS BROKEN, TO PROVE THIS
CASE?
>> NO.
BUT — BUT HERE’S WHY.
PEOPLE WERE CRITICAL OF ALVIN
BRAGG EARLY ON WAS BECAUSE
HE DIDN’T IDENTIFY WHAT THE
CRIME WHAT IS THE BIGGER
PICTURE HERE?
WHY IS THIS A FELONY?
HE JUST WASN’T LAYING IT OUT.
YESTERDAY, WE SAW THIS LAID OUT
IN MORE CONCRETE TERMS
THAT THIS WAS ALL A CRIMINAL
CONSPIRACY TO PROTECT DONALD
TRUMP IN THE 2016 ELECTION.
>> WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THE
FIRST WITNESS WHO TESTIFIED
YESTERDAY, DAVID PECKER,
IS GOING TO BE THE CENTERPIECE
OF THIS.
THAT’S WHY HE’S THE FIRST
WITNESS, BECAUSE
THEY’RE BASICALLY SAYING,
DAVID PECKER AND DONALD
TRUMP AND MICHAEL COHEN CREATE
DID THIS AGREEMENT THAT WOULD
PREVENT ANY NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP FROM COMING
OUT BECAUSE THEY WANTED
TO PROTECT HIM IN THE ELECTION.
>> AND DAVID PECKER WAS
THE HEART OF IT AT THE TIME.
HE’S THE HEAD OF AMI AND HE HAD
THE ENQUIRER, ALL THAT STUFF.
>> CORRECT.
SO HE, THEY ARGUE, IS AT
THE CENTER OF ALL OF THIS.
HE BECOMES A CRITICAL WITNESS.
HE JUST BEGAN HIS TESTIMONY.
SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE EXACTLY
WHAT MORE COMES FROM
DAVID PECKER.
BUT THAT’S THE KEY FROM
THE PROSECUTION’S PERSPECTIVE
TO THE CONSPIRACY.
WELL, AND SO THE DEFENSE,
THE TRUMP TEAM, I MEAN,
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO ARGUE?
THEY DON’T TO ARGUE HE NEVER
PAID HUSH MONEY.
>> RIGHT.
LIKE HE’S ACTUALLY KIND OF SAID
MANY THINGS ABOUT WHETHER ANY
OF THIS IS TRUE.
BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER IF
HE PAID HUSH MONEY.
>> SO WHAT DO THEY RESPOND
WITH?
THE DEFENSE IS REALLY SAYING
TWO THINGS.
NUMBER ONE, THEY’RE SAYING
DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T EVEN
FALSIFY BUSINESS RECORDS.
>> HE WAS JUST RELYING ON OTHER
PEOPLE LIKE MICHAEL COHEN.
HERE IS THE TRUTH.
>> THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD DON’T
BELIEVE WHAT HE’S SAYING.
THE MAN DOESN’T TELL THE TRUTH.
AND IT’S SAD THAT I SHOULD TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS DIRTY
DEEDS.
>> BUT SECONDLY, THEY’RE GOING
TO TRY TO MAKE THIS CASE
AS MUCH ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN
AS POSSIBLE.
THE DEFENSE WANTS THESE JURORS
TO BE THINKING ABOUT MICHAEL
COLLINS CREDIBILITY.
THE PROSECUTORS ARE SAYING,
YES, MICHAEL COHEN’S A WITNESS
FOR US, BUT WE CAN CORROBORATE
EVERYTHING THAT HE’S SAYING.
SO A BIG PICTURE, TWO PRONGED
ARGUMENT.
ONE BEING HE DIDN’T EVEN REALLY
DO THE FALSIFICATION OF THE
BUSINESS RECORDS HIMSELF.
AND SECOND, MICHAEL COHEN
IS THE LINCHPIN HERE.
AND YOU CAN’T BELIEVE HOW DO
YOU HANDICAP THIS NOW?
>> DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON HOW
THIS MIGHT EVENTUALLY TURN OUT
BASED ON WHAT YOU’VE HEARD SO
FAR?
LOOK, I THINK THIS IS GOING
TO END UP BEING A HUNG JURY.
I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE
PEOPLE WHO WERE MORE ANTI-TRUMP
THAN THEY SUGGESTED WHO ENDED
UP ON THE JURY.
AND THEY’RE PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE
PRO-TRUMP THAN THEY SUGGESTED
ON THE JURY.
AND YOU JUST NEED ONE PERSON
TO HANG THE JURY.
RIGHT.
SO IF YOU GET A SINGLE PERSON
WHO IS GOING TO SAY, YOU KNOW,
I’M JUST I CAN’T CONVICT
ON THIS CRIME, THIS THIS
NOTHING CASE, BECAUSE REMEMBER,
IT’S NOT FOR THE JURY TO DECIDE
SHOULD THE CASE HAVE BEEN
BROUGHT?
IT’S NOT FOR THE JURY TO DECIDE
MOTIVATIONS BEHIND
THE PROSECUTION.
IT’S FOR THE JURY TO DECIDE.
DOES THE EVIDENCE HERE REACH
THAT LEVEL BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT?
>> BUT IF YOU GET JURORS WHO DO
DECIDE THAT THE OTHER QUESTIONS
MATTER TO THEM, EVEN THOUGH
THEY MINIMIZED IT IN JURY
SELECTION, THAT’S WHERE
YOU COULD GET INTO TROUBLE FOR
THE PROSECUTORS.
WELL, ARE YOU SAYING
IT’S BECAUSE JURORS BASICALLY
THIS IS KIND OF AN EXCITING
CASE, TO BE HONEST?
>> ARE YOU SORT OF HIDE
YOUR TRUE FEELINGS OR BITS
THAT MAY COME INTO PLAY BECAUSE
WE’RE HUMANS AND WE CAN’T HELP
IT?
>> WELL, OR MORE SHADES,
A LITTLE MORE OF SHADE OF GRAY
,WHICH IS TO SAY, I THINK
I CAN BE FAIR.
YEAH.
>> BUT NOW THAT YOU
START PRESENTING THE CASE.
>> OH, COME ON.
REALLY?
WE’RE HERE OVER HUSH MONEY
PAYMENTS AGAIN.
>> THAT’S SOMETHING THAT GOES
INTO WHETHER HE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED.
THAT’S NOT A QUESTION
THE JURORS SHOULD BE ASSESSING
IN.
IS HE GUILTY?
>> THE CRIME.
BUT THEY STILL MAY.
YES.
AND OF COURSE, A LOT MORE NOW
AS WITNESSES.
SOME OF THESE VERY WELL-KNOWN
WITNESSES START COMING TO THE
STAND.
>> DAN ABRAMS, OUR CHIEF LEGAL
ANALYST, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
THE WAR IN GAZA HAS RAISED
CITIES ACROSS THE 25 MILE LONG
GAZA STRIP.
BUT HERE IN THE U.S.,
THE EPICENTER FOR DEBATE OVER
THIS WAR HAS INCREASINGLY BEEN
ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES FOR MONTHS.
THAT TENSION HAS BEEN BUBBLING.
BUT RIGHT NOW IT’S BOILING OVER
.
>> THERE ARE SEVERAL POTENTIAL
REASONS FOR THIS.
IT COULD BE EVENTS
ON THE GROUND IN THE MIDEAST
WITH ISRAEL CONTEMPLATING AN
INCURSION INTO RAFAH.
IT COULD BE THE END OF RAMADAN,
LEAVING MANY MUSLIM
AMERICAN STUDENTS MORE ABLE
TO ENGAGE 24/7.
IT COULD ALSO BE BECAUSE IT IVY
LEAGUE SCHOOLS LIKE COLUMBIA.
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
CALLED BEFORE CONGRESS
TO ADDRESS CONCERNS
ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS.
WELL, WHATEVER IT IS, IN THE
LAST WEEK OR SO, THIS HAS
BOILED OVER TO THE POINT WHERE
POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED IN
THE COLUMBIA, HARVARD AND YALE
TO MAKE ARRESTS.
IN FACT, YESTERDAY, COLUMBIA
ANNOUNCED IT’S NO LONGER
HOLDING IN-PERSON CLASSES
BECAUSE OF THE RISKS, PERHAPS
TO STUDENTS SAFETY.
>> ALL OF THAT JUST AS PASSOVER
WAS ABOUT TO GET UNDER WAY LAST
NIGHT.
ABC STEPHANIE RAMOS TRAVELED
THE COLUMBIA CAMPUS.
>> STEPHANIE, FIRST OF ALL,
WHAT IS IT LIKE OUT THERE?
SO THERE’S DEFINITELY THIS
ONGOING FRICTION BETWEEN NOT
JUST TWO SIDES, BUT MULTIPLE
SIDES, MULTIPLE GROUPS THAT ARE
NOT SEEING EYE TO EYE ARE NOT
AGREEING ON THESE TOPICS.
THERE’S TENSION THROUGHOUT
THE CAMPUS.
>> THERE IS TENSION FROM
THE PRO-PALESTINIAN
DEMONSTRATORS, ALSO THE PRO
ISRAEL DEMONSTRATORS
THAT SHOWED UP AND WERE THERE
ALONGSIDE THE OTHER
DEMONSTRATORS OUTSIDE
THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY GATES.
>> IT’S BEEN NONSTOP.
IT CAN YOU KIND OF JUST HELP
US UNDERSTAND HOW THIS
ALL STARTED?
BECAUSE IT REALLY SEEMED
TO KIND OF ESCALATE LAST WEEK
AND GOING INTO THE WEEKEND.
>> IT DID.
IT DID.
SO APRIL 17TH, THAT’S WHEN
STUDENT PROTESTERS OPPOSED
TO ISRAEL’S WAR IN GAZA CAMPED
OUT THROUGHOUT THE COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.
>> AND THEY’RE ALLOWED TO DO
THAT.
THEY’RE STUDENTS.
THEY’RE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
APARTHEID, DIVEST.
IT’S A COALITION OF MORE THAN
100 STUDENT GROUPS.
AND THEY SAY THAT THEY
ARE CALLING FOR THE UNIVERSITY
TO FINANCIALLY DIVEST FROM
COMPANIES AND INSTITUTIONS
THAT PROFIT FROM
ISRAELI APARTHEID,
AND OCCUPATION IN PALESTINE.
I SPOKE WITH THE SPOKESPERSON
FOR THIS GROUP AND HE STRESSED
THAT THEY DON’T WANT CONFLICTS.
THEY DON’T WANT CHAOS
ON CAMPUS, BUT THEY DO WANT
THEIR VOICES HEARD AND THEY
ARE NOT GOING TO STOP
DEMONSTRATING UNTIL THEY SEE
SOME SORT OF A CHANGE,
SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT FROM
THE UNIVERSITY.
>> COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
CALLS POLICE.
LAST WEEK THEY ARRESTED
AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE, BUT THAT
DID NOT DETER STUDENTS.
>> STUDENTS PUT UP MORE TENTS
OVER THE WEEKEND AND THE
RESPONSE ALSO BROUGHT
PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS
WHO WERE UNAFFILIATED WITH THE
SCHOOL TO THE SCHOOL.
SO IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS,
THE DEMONSTRATIONS HAVE NOT
SLOWED DOWN AND THEY HAVE NOT
STOPPED.
AND THIS ALL COMES AFTER
THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENT SHAFIK SPOKE
ON CAPITOL HILL.
>> SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT AND WE
WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY
TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR
CAMPUS.
>> MANY DEMONSTRATORS UPSET
WITH HER REMARKS AND HER
COMMENTS ABOUT THE SITUATION,
THE MASS ARRESTS AND THE
SUPPRESSION OF STUDENTS.
I WOULD SAY THAT’S GALVANIZED
US.
SO MANY OF THOSE STUDENTS
THAT WERE ARRESTED, BY THE WAY
,HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED FOR
TAKING PART IN THESE PROTESTS.
I SPOKE WITH A COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY PH.D. STUDENT.
SHE SAID SHE WAS PEACEFULLY
DEMONSTRATING.
>> AND THEN THE NYPD CAME
IN AND ARRESTED US ONE BY ONE
IMMEDIATELY.
THAT KIND OF WITH OUR HANDS
BEHIND OUR BACK AND WAS
ARRESTED.
>> AND SHE FOUND OUT THE VERY
NEXT DAY THAT SHE HAS BEEN
SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY.
SHE’S HOPING THAT THAT
IS REVOKED.
>> I PERSONALLY AM
THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF A
HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR, AND THAT’S
WHY I’M HERE.
AND BECAUSE WHEN WE SAY NEVER
AGAIN, WE SHOULD MEAN NEVER
AGAIN FOR ANY PEOPLE.
>> BUT SHE JUST EXPRESSED TO ME
THAT THEY ARE PEACEFULLY
PROTESTING.
SHE SAID THEY ARE ISOLATED
INCIDENTS, OTHER GROUPS.
BUT AS FAR AS THE STUDENT
DEMONSTRATORS WHO ARE ON CAMPUS
ALLOWED TO CAMP OUT ON CAMPUS
ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
>> AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE
CANCELLATION OF CLASSES, IS THE
RATIONALE THERE ABOUT I MEAN,
WHAT IS THE RATIONALE?
IS IT MORE ABOUT JUST TAKING
A BREATH OR IS IT ABOUT STUDENT
SAFETY?
>> YES.
SO THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENT DEFINES THIS AS A
RESET AND ALSO MADE A REFERENCE
TO STUDENTS NOT SAFE ON CAMPUS.
WE HEARD FROM JEWISH STUDENTS
ABOUT THIS.
>> I’M TRYING NOT TO GO
TO CAMPUS JUST BECAUSE OF HOW,
YOU KNOW, THE DAY THAT IS.
IT MADE ME SICK HEARING
THE THINGS THEY WERE SAYING
AND DOING.
>> THERE WAS ONE YOUNG WOMAN
THAT I SPOKE WITH.
SHE’S ACTUALLY A FRESHMAN
AT UNIVERSITY, AND SHE WAS
TELLING ME HOW SHE WAS WITH HER
FRIENDS, HER JEWISH FRIENDS.
>> THEY WERE ON CAMPUS AND THEY
WERE SINGING AND WERE
APPROACHED BY WHAT APPEARED
TO BE A PRO-PALESTINIAN
DEMONSTRATOR WHO HELD UP A SIGN
NEAR HER THAT WAS REFERRING
TO THE HAMAS MILITARY WING
AND BASICALLY SAYING THEY WERE
THEY WERE NEXT AND THEY WANTED
VIOLENCE AND THEY STOOD THERE
WITH THAT SIGN SAYING
THEY WANTED HAMAS TO ATTACK US,
ESSENTIALLY.
AND THAT FRIGHTENED HER AS IT
WAS FRIGHTENING ANYONE.
>> BUT SHE WAS TELLING ME JUST
HOW SHE DOESN’T FEEL SAFE GOING
ON TO CAMPUS BECAUSE THAT IS
TAKING PLACE.
>> VIOLENCE HAS NO PLACE
ON THIS MOVEMENT.
AND WE REGRET SOME OF SOME OF
THE INCIDENTS THAT HAS HAPPENED
THAT WE’RE ACTUALLY ASSOCIATED
WITH WITH THIS MOVEMENT.
>> DESPITE HEARING FROM
PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS
WHO SAY WE JUST WANT TO BE
A VOICE FOR THE PEOPLE IN GAZA
.
>> YOU STILL HAVE OTHER
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION,
YOU COULD SAY, AND EITHER
COMMITTING ACTS OF VIOLENCE OR
ACTS OF INTIMIDATION TOWARD
THE JEWISH STUDENT POPULATION
THERE AT THAT UNIVERSITY
AND OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
>> YES.
STEPHANIE, TALK A LITTLE BIT
MORE ABOUT THIS PROTEST
ENCAMPMENT IDEA THAT YOU’VE
GOT, YOU KNOW, 100 TENTS
SITTING ON THE QUAD.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT’S NOT
JUST COLUMBIA EITHER.
IS THIS BECOMING THE NORM
THAT MAYBE OTHER SCHOOLS
AS WELL?
>> IT APPEARS TO BE.
WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE STUDENTS
WHO ARE PLANNING TO DEMONSTRATE
AND HOLD ENCAMPMENTS LIKE
WHAT WE’VE SEEN AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY AT MIT, AT TUFTS.
AND WE SAW THAT AT YALE
ON MONDAY AS WELL.
AT LEAST 47 PEOPLE WERE
ARRESTED DURING PROTESTS
IN SUPPORT OF THE PALESTINIAN
PEOPLE.
>> SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO SEE
THIS.
AGAIN, THIS IS AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY.
THE PRESIDENT WAS TRYING
TO RESET AS.
THE IN-PERSON CLASSES WERE
CANCELED, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE AN
ONGOING SITUATION JUST
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
BUT AT UNIVERSITIES
AND COLLEGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND LIKE YOU SAID, PROTESTS
BOTH ON CAMPUS WITH STUDENTS
AND PROTESTS OFF CAMPUS, WHICH
EVEN SEEM TO BE
MORE INFLAMMATORY THERE
AT COLUMBIA RIGHT NOW.
>> STEPHANIE RAMOS, THANK
YOU SO MUCH.
NO PROBLEM.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME, BRAD.
IT’S INTERESTING TALKING
ABOUT THESE ENCAMPMENTS
ON COLLEGE QUADS, BECAUSE
I ALSO FEEL LIKE THERE’S
SOMETHING ABOUT TENTS SPRINGING
UP WHERE YOU DON’T WANT THEM.
LIKE IT JUST FEELS UNNERVING
SOMETIMES.
LIKE THE WALLS OF A PLACE
HAVE TAKEN A BREAK AND THIS
RESISTANCE, THIS DISCOMFORT,
SPRINGS UP NOT JUST WHEN
PROTESTERS START ERECTING
THEIR TENTS.
IT ALSO APPLIES TO WHAT HAD
BECOME TENT CITIES IN SO MANY
URBAN AREAS.
WELL, YESTERDAY, THE SUPREME
COURT HEARD WHAT’S BECOME AN
URGENT CASE ON HOMELESSNESS
IN THIS COUNTRY OVER CITIES
THAT ARE ISSUING BONDS TO THE
PEOPLE LEAST ABLE TO PAY THEM.
LET’S BRING IN ABC’S SENIOR
WASHINGTON REPORTER DEVIN DWYER
WHO COVERS THE SUPREME COURT
FOR US.
DEVIN WHAT IS AT ISSUE HERE.
THIS IS A CASE BRAD THE BIGGEST
CASE ON HOMELESSNESS TO REACH
THE SUPREME COURT IN MORE THAN
40 YEARS.
THAT ASKED THE QUESTION CAN
CITIES PUNISH PEOPLE WHO
ARE HOMELESS AND WANT TO SLEEP
OUTSIDE ON PUBLIC PROPERTY?
IT’S AN EXTRAORDINARILY
COMPLICATED AND THORNY
AND EMOTIONAL QUESTION THAT HAS
GRIPPED THE COURT
AND COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE.
WE’VE SEEN RECORD NUMBERS
OF HOMELESS PEOPLE,
PARTICULARLY ON THE WEST COAST.
>> BRAD, THESE ENCAMPMENT
IN CALIFORNIA ARE UNACCEPTABLE
AND A GROWING NUMBER OF CITIES
ARE TURNING TO LAWS,
TO PUNITIVE MEASURES TO TRY
TO GET THOSE PEOPLE OFF
THE STREETS, INCENTIVIZE
MOVEMENT TOWARDS SOCIAL
RESOURCES THAT EXIST.
AND SO THE JUSTICES YESTERDAY
WERE GRAPPLING WITH IS
THAT OKAY, CAN CITIES ISSUE
TICKETS, CITATIONS, POSSIBLE
JAIL TIME TO HOMELESS
PEOPLE WHEN THEY HAVE NOWHERE
ELSE TO GO?
A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT
IN CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR SAID
THAT THAT AMOUNTS TO CRUEL
AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT UNDER
THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT.
>> AND YESTERDAY, THE JUSTICES
SEEMED TO TAKE A PRETTY
SKEPTICAL VIEW OF THAT
CONCLUSION ABOUT THESE TYPES
OF LAWS.
>> WELL, AND WE OFTEN TALK
ABOUT ANGELES AND SAN
FRANCISCO, BUT THIS CASE
ACTUALLY COMES FROM A SMALLER
TOWN IN OREGON
CALLED GRANTS PASS.
>> YOU WENT THERE RIGHT?
>> HOW DID THIS CASE SORT
OF RISE THROUGH THE RANKS?
YEAH, A TINY TOWN OF ABOUT
40,000 PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE A COMMUNITY OF 600
HOMELESS RESIDENTS AND THEY
HAVE NO HOMELESS SHELTERS.
BRAD.
WE SAW DOTTING THE PUBLIC
PARKS, THE LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD
UNDER THE OVERPASS DOWN BY THE
RIVER.
LOTS OF TENT COMMUNITIES,
REALLY, OF PEOPLE.
MANY OF WHOM ARE GRANTS PASS
NATIVES.
>> THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT US
BEING OUT HERE, BUT THERE’S NO
PLACE FOR US TO GO.
WHO HAD BEEN PRICED OUT OF THE
MARKET SUFFERED A TRAGEDY
IN THE FAMILY, A DEATH.
>> LOSING MY HUSBAND HAS PUT
MY LIFE UPSIDE DOWN AND IN
SOME CASES ADDICTION AND THEY
ENDED UP LIVING IN THE PARK.
SO THE CITY CAME IN AND SAID,
YOU CAN’T CAN’T BREAK DOWN
THOSE WOODCHIPS.
>> THEY YEAH, YEAH.
THE OFFICER SAID I WAS TOO
CLOSE TO THE PLAYGROUND AND I
WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE TO THE
FENCE.
WE MET ONE UNHOUSED GENTLEMAN,
BRANDON, WHO WAS IN THE PROCESS
OF PACKING UP HIS THINGS
AND MOVING IT TO A DIFFERENT
SIDE OF THE PARK BECAUSE
THE CITY HAS AN ORDINANCE
THAT ANYONE WHO IS RESIDING
IN A PUBLIC PARK IS HOMELESS,
HAS TO MOVE EVERY 72 HOURS.
>> HE TRIED TO GIVE ME
A TICKET, YOU KNOW, AND ALL
THIS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
I WOULD SAY TO THEM WALK A DAY.
>> OUR SHOES.
YOU KNOW, HELEN CRUZ, WHO IS
NOW LIVING IN A CHURCH NEARBY.
BUT SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS
LIVING IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE
BALLPARK FOR MORE THAN
FIVE YEARS AFTER SHE COULDN’T
AFFORD HER HOME.
AND MIND YOU, I WAS HOLDING
DOWN TWO GUNS WHEN I WAS OUT
HERE AND STILL NOT ENOUGH TO BE
ABLE TO RENT A PLACE.
THERE, THERE TERMS OF LOW
INCOME HOUSING HERE IS $1,000
A MONTH.
>> AND THE THING, BRAD, IS THAT
SHE SAID THAT SHE RECEIVED
MORE THAN $5,000 IN FINES
AND PENALTIES OVER THE COURSE
OF HER, YOU KNOW, ENCAMPMENT
IN THE CITY PARK OVER
THE YEARS.
AND SHE SAID THAT THAT WAS
SIMPLY CRUEL.
>> THERE’S A RIGHT I HAVE
A RIGHT TO BE MAD BECAUSE
YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR WHITE
PICKET FENCE KICKING SOMEONE
WHEN THEY’RE DOWN, GIVING HER A
CRIMINAL RECORD.
TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER FOR
HER TO GET A JOB.
AND IF SHE COULDN’T AFFORD
THE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO PAY
THE RENT, HOW IS SHE GOING
TO EVEN PAY THE FEE?
AND SO PEOPLE LIKE HELEN, WHO’S
BROUGHT THIS CASE AND THEY WON
IN THE APPEALS COURT LEVEL FOR
ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, A LOT
OF THE BEHAVIOR YOU SEE HERE
TODAY IS ILLEGAL.
AND THEN OUR COMMUNITY
WILL ASK, WELL, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING ABOUT IT?
BUT, BRAD, WHEN WE TALK
TO LOCAL OFFICIALS, LOCAL
REPRESENTATIVES, COMMUNITY
LEADERS, EVEN SOME RESIDENTS
WHO LOOK OUT AT SOME OF THESE
ENCAMPMENTS, A VERY DIFFERENT
STORY AND THEY SEE WHAT’S GOING
ON IN THEIR COMMUNITY AS A
MATTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH
AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
WE’VE HAD SHOOTINGS IN OUR
PARKS.
WE’VE HAD FIGHTS IN OUR PARKS,
CHRONIC DRUG ABUSE IN OUR
PARKS.
I MET UP WITH POLICE
CHIEF HENSMAN IN GRANTS PASS,
AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY’RE
HEARING FROM RESIDENTS WHO ARE
AFRAID TO GO TO THE PARKS
AT THE SAME TIME.
THEY’RE TRYING TO BE
ACCOMMODATING AND RESPECTFUL
OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO LIVE
IN PARKS AND IS IT SAFE TO
HAVE A KID PLAY IN THE PARK
WHERE THERE’S A TENT 20 FEET
AWAY?
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE IN
THE TENT ARE DOING.
WE TALKED TO DWAYNE YOUNGER,
A LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE WHO SITS
ON THE CITY COUNCIL, AND HE
SAID THE CITY COUNCIL IS CAUGHT
BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD
PLACE.
THEY’RE TRYING TO BALANCE
INTERESTS.
AND THEY DECIDED THAT BY
PASSING THIS SORT OF ORDINANCE,
THEY WOULD BE INCENTIVIZING
PEOPLE TO MOVE TOWARDS
THE RESOURCES THAT ARE THERE.
>> EVEN GAVIN NEWSOM,
THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA,
WHICH IS ONE OF THE LARGER
STATES IN THE UNITED STATES,
HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO
DEAL WITH THIS.
>> AND YOU’RE ASKING ME AS A
CITY COUNCILOR, A STATE REP,
TO HOW TO DO THIS WHEN
EVERYBODY IN THE NATION
IS TRYING TO DEAL
WITH HOMELESSNESS AND WANT IT?
>> WHAT IS FAIR?
I THINK THAT’S THE QUESTION
OF WHAT IS FAIR.
>> AND SO WITH THESE SORT
OF COMPETING INTERESTS, I MEAN,
WHAT WAS THE SCENE YESTERDAY
LIKE AT THE SUPREME COURT?
COULD YOU TELL WHICH WAY
THE JUSTICES WERE LEANING?
>> WELL, THE CONSERVATIVE
JUSTICES BRAND WELL, ACROSS
THE BOARD, OF COURSE,
EMPATHETIC WITH THOSE WHO WHO
DON’T HAVE HOUSING
AND STRUGGLING IN THIS WAY,
BUT ALMOST TO A TEE WERE VERY
SYMPATHETIC TO THE CITY
OF GRANTS PASS
AND ACKNOWLEDGING THAT CITIES,
NOT COURTS, NEED TO BE THE ONES
DEALING WITH THESE SORTS
OF ISSUES.
WE HEARD CHIEF JUSTICE
JOHN ROBERTS SAY MANY
PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED THIS AS A
SERIOUS POLICY.
SHOULD A CITY BUILD A NEW
SHELTERS?
SHOULD THEY BUILD AFFORDABLE?
SHOULD THEY REPLACE LEAD PIPES
IN SOME CASES, DIFFICULT
DECISIONS HE SAID SHOULD
BE LEFT TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES?
>> WHY WOULD YOU THINK
THAT THESE NINE PEOPLE ARE THE
BEST PEOPLE TO JUDGE AND WEIGH
THOSE POLICY JUDGMENTS?
>> WE HEARD JUSTICE NEIL
GORSUCH SAY, DO YOU DRAW
THE LINE IF IT’S CRUEL
AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT, TO SAY
SOMEONE CAN’T SLEEP IN A PUBLIC
PLACE?
>> WHAT ABOUT ?
HOW ABOUT IF THERE ARE NO
PUBLIC BATHROOM FACILITIES?
CAN DO PEOPLE HAVE AN EIGHTH
AMENDMENT RIGHT TO AND ?
>> WE WE.
IS THAT CONDUCT OR IS THAT
STAFF ARE THOSE LAWS NOW GOING
TO BE IN QUESTION?
THEY’D BE SEEN AS CRUEL
AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.
HE CERTAINLY DIDN’T THINK
THAT THAT WOULD BE CRUEL
AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.
>> BUT ON THE OTHER, BRAD,
THE LIBERAL JUSTICES WERE
INCREDIBLY PASSIONATE SAYING
THAT HOMELESSNESS
IS INVOLUNTARY.
>> THIS IS A DIFFICULT POLICY
QUESTION, JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR.
WHERE DO WE PUT THEM IF EVERY
CITY, EVERY VILLAGE, EVERY
TOWN LACKS COMPASSION
AND PASSES A LAW IDENTICAL
TO THIS?
WHERE ARE THEY SUPPOSED
TO SLEEP?
>> ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO KILL
THEMSELVES, NOT SLEEPING?
IT’S AN ALMOST IMMUTABLE
QUALITY THAT PEOPLE IN THIS
SITUATION CAN’T HELP IT,
AND THAT BY MAKING IT A CRIME,
YOU’RE IN EFFECT, CRIMINALIZING
THEIR STATUS, WHICH
IS SOMETHING THEY SAID OR
SUGGESTED AT LEAST IN THEIR
QUESTIONS, WAS ANATHEMA TO THE
CONSTITUTION.
WHAT WOULD BE THE POTENTIAL
IMPACT OF A RULING HERE?
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS HERE?
BECAUSE THIS SEEMS LIKE IT
WOULD HAVE JUST PROFOUND
IMPLICATIONS FOR SO MANY
CITIES.
YES, SWEEPING IMPLICATIONS
HERE.
BRAD, I MEAN, THIS DECISION
WILL APPLY TO EVERY CITY
IN AMERICA POTENTIALLY.
>> AND WHILE IT WON’T SOLVE
THE PROBLEM, HOMELESSNESS,
EVERYBODY AGREES ON THAT.
>> RIGHT?
IT COULD.
IF YOU’RE THE CITY
OF GRANTS PASS, EMPOWER CITIES
TO DO MORE TO REGULATE
ENCAMPMENTS AND TO GET IN THERE
AND ACTUALLY TRY TO CLEAN UP
THESE PLACES, REALLY ENCOURAGE
HOMELESS PEOPLE TO GET TO
THE RESOURCES.
IF YOU’RE THE HOMELESS
COMMUNITY OR HOMELESS
ADVOCATES, YOU SEE THIS
IN EQUALLY HISTORIC TERMS.
>> WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET
OUT OF THIS PARK BEING PROBABLY
WHEN THEY HAVE HOUSES TO GO TO,
WHEN THEY HAVE A PLACE FOR
US TO GO.
RED CITIES, BLUE CITIES,
RED STATES, BLUE STATES.
THEY’RE ALL ON THE SIDE
OF GRANTS PASS HERE AT LEAST
NEEDING SOME TOOLS TO ADDRESS
THIS.
BUT YOU’VE GOT HOMELESS
ADVOCATES SAYING RATHER THAN
GIVING SOMEBODY A TICKET, BUILD
AN AFFORDABLE HOUSE FOR
PEOPLE TO LIVE IN, THAT WOULD
BE A BETTER ANSWER.
SO IN A FASCINATING DEBATE
AND AN EMOTIONAL DEBATE,
BUT ONE THAT REALLY COULD
HAVE AN IMPACT AT A TIME WHEN
WE’RE SEEING RECORD NUMBERS
OF AMERICANS LIVING
ON THE STREETS.
>> YEAH, AND I LOOKED IT UP.
I MEAN, THIS IS NOT A STRETCH
TO SAY IT IS WORSE NOW THAN IT
HAS BEEN IN THE PAST.
YOU’RE LOOKING AT SIGNIFICANT
PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN HOMELESS
POPULATIONS IN MANY, MANY
AMERICAN CITIES, LARGE AND
SMALL.
A DECISION EXPECTED PERHAPS
BY LATE JUNE.
>> DEVIN DWYER COVERING
THE COURT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANKS FOR ONE LAST THING.
>> IF YOU FLY OFTEN, YOU KNOW
THE EXPERIENCE FEELS LIKE
A LESSON IN FEUDAL CLASS
STRUCTURE.
YOU GOT THE FIRST CLASS
PEOPLE AND THE COACH PEOPLE.
YOU GOT THE PEOPLE WHO PAID
EXTRA LEG ROOM OR TO GET
ON THE PLANE FIRST.
THEN YOU’VE GOT THE MIDDLE
SEAT NORMIES.
>> AND IF THERE’S ONE PLACE
WE’RE ALL SUPPOSED TO FEEL
EQUAL, IT WOULD BE IN
THE SECURITY LINE WHERE EACH
OF US ARE SCREENED, REGARDLESS
OF OUR STATION.
>> I RECOMMEND THAT YOU REMOVE
YOUR SHOES.
>> THAT IS, UNTIL YOU SEE
SOMEONE ESCORTED TO THE FRONT
OF THAT LINE WITH AN AIRPORT
EMPLOYEE TELLING THE TSA AGENT
IN FRONT OF YOU, HEY, WE GOT
A CLEAR CUSTOMER HERE.
>> A CLEAR WILL ESCORT
YOU STRAIGHT TO PHYSICAL
SCREENING.
AND OUR GOOD FRIENDS AT TSA
WILL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
>> CLEAR IS THE SERVICE YOU SEE
AT AIRPORTS WHERE FOR 189 BUCKS
A YEAR, YOU CAN
GET PRESCREENED.
THEN GO TO A LITTLE KIOSK WHERE
YOUR BIOMETRICS ARE RECORDED.
GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.
EVEN PAST THOSE FOLKS WHO PAID
FOR TSA PRECHECK.
WELL, YESTERDAY A CALIFORNIA
STATE SENATOR FORWARD A BILL
THAT WOULD BAN CLEAR FROM
CALIFORNIA AIRPORTS.
JOSH NEWMAN, A DEMOCRAT FROM
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, SAYS THIS
IS DRIVEN BY MORE THAN AN
ANNOYANCE OF BEING CUT IN LINE.
IT’S THE SENSE THAT GOVERNMENT
SERVICES ARE FOR SALE.
AFTER ALL, HE SAYS, THE POLICE
WORK FOR ALL OF US.
THE TSA WORKS FOR ALL OF US.
SO WHY WOULD THE TSA BE ABLE
TO PRIORITIZE SOME PEOPLE AHEAD
OF OTHERS?
NEWMAN SAYS HE’D ACTUALLY BE
FINE WITH CLEAR RUNNING ITS OWN
DEDICATED LINE THE WAY TSA
PRE DOES.
BUT THE FACT THAT EVERYONE ELSE
GETS PUT ON HOLD TO MAKE SURE
THESE VIPS ARE CATERED TO,
HE SAYS STRIPS CUSTOMERS
OF THEIR DIGNITY.
WHAT’S SO FRUSTRATING
ABOUT THIS IS THAT TSA
PRE-CLEAR ALL THESE THINGS
ARE OSTENSIBLY HOW WE DO WANT
AIRPORTS TO WORK FOR EVERYONE
THROUGH THE WORLD AND ALLOW
BEHIND YOU.
I DON’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR BELT
AND YOUR SHOES.
LET TECHNOLOGY DO THE WORK
AHEAD OF TIME WHEN YOU BOOK
YOUR FLIGHT.
SO THEN DON’T HAVE TO WAIT
IN LINE AS LONG ON THE DAY.
BUT ONCE MONEY IS INJECTED INTO
THE SYSTEM, IT RAISES
EVERYONE’S SUSPICIONS.
BUT HOW MUCH IS THIS FEE REALLY
ABOUT SAFETY?
AND HOW MUCH IS ABOUT MAKING
SURE THESE FREQUENT FLIERS CAN
SPEND THEIR WAY INTO SHORTER
LINES?
>> A UNION REPRESENTING TSA
WORKERS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
ACTUALLY OUT IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL SAYING CLEARS AGGRESSIVE
SALES PITCHES, AIRPORTS PREYING
ON THE SENSE OF FRUSTRATION
AND MAKES IT A WORSE EXPERIENCE
FOR NON-CUSTOMERS.
AIRLINES WHO WORK WITH CLEAR
SAY THE COMPANY HELPS SPEED UP
LINES.
AND A SPOKESPERSON FOR
CLEAR SAYS THAT WHILE
THEY’RE ALWAYS WORKING
WITH STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS
TO IMPROVE THE CUSTOMER
EXPERIENCE, THEIR PRODUCT HAS
TO DATE DIRECTED $13 MILLION
AND HUNDREDS OF JOBS.
>> CALIFORNIA AIRPORTS.
THE FATE OF THIS BILL IS
DECIDEDLY UNCLEAR AND STILL NOT
A GIVEN WHETHER FELLOW
LAWMAKERS WILL SUPPORT IT OR
EVEN WHAT POWER CALIFORNIA
HOLDS OVER TSA PROCEDURES.
>> BUT EVEN IF THIS BILL TAKES
A WHILE TO SNEAK ITS WAY
THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE LINE,
WELL, I KNOW THE FEELING NOW.
>> SEVERAL YEARS AGO,
I INVESTED IN TSA PRECHECK.
IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
IT BEGS THE QUESTION, THOUGH,
IF YOUR PARTNER DOESN’T
HAVE THAT, DO YOU GO STAND IN
A REGULAR SECURITY LINE
WITH THEM OR DO YOU SAY
GOOD LUCK, I’LL MEET YOU AT
THE GATE BECAUSE I HAVE
TO STAND WITH MY WIFE FOR
TWO TRIPS.
AND AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE
THAT PERSON YOU LIKE.
I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS
ANYMORE.
I DON’T KNOW IF WE’RE STRONG
ENOUGH FOR THIS WAR AND ALL

MORNING, AS BATTLE LINES ARE
BEING DRAWN FOLLOWING OPENING
STATEMENTS.
>> BIG LABOR’S BIG WIN. THE NEW
PUSH BY THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS
TO EXPAND IN THE DEEP SOUTH
AFTER AN HISTORIC WIN IN
TENNESSEE. THE MESSAGE FROM
WORKERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA FROM A
SMOKE NATO TO A DUST DEVIL TO
ONE OF THE MOST DAMAGING HAIL
STORMS IN RECENT MEMORY. MAJOR
LEAGUE UMPIRES UNDER FIRE, ONE
EJECTING A MANAGER FOR SAYING
NOTHING, OTHERS TAKING HEAT FOR
CONTROVERSIAL CALLS. THE PUSH
FOR CHANGE IN THE BIG LEAGUES
AND LATER THE NEW STUDY THAT
CLAIMS WOMEN DOCTORS ARE BETTER
NOT JUST FOR WOMEN PATIENTS, BUT
FOR MEN TOO.
>> FROM ABC NEWS IN NEW YORK,
THIS IS AMERICA THIS MORNING.
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING, EVERYONE.
I’M ANDREW DYMBURT.
>> GOOD MORNING. I’M ALISON
KOSIK IN FOR RIHANNA. AND WE
BEGIN WITH GROWING UNREST ON
COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AMID PROTESTS OVER THE
ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR IN CALIFORNIA.
>> PROTESTERS AT ONE UNIVERSITY
BARRICADED THEMSELVES INSIDE A
BUILDING. AND HERE IN NEW YORK,
MORE THAN 150 ARRESTS AS POLICE
IN RIOT GEAR BROKE UP A CROWD.
ABC’S LIONEL MOISE BEGINS OUR
COVERAGE.
>> OVERNIGHT, TENSIONS BOILING
OVER AS PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS
SPREAD TO MORE COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
FROM COAST TO COAST.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED BY NEW
YORK UNIVERSITY TO LEAVE THE
AREA. POLICE IN RIOT GEAR
DISMANTLING THIS ENCAMPMENT AT
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, ARRESTING
MULTIPLE PEOPLE ACCUSED OF
IGNORING A DEADLINE TO DISPERSE
POLICE AND THE SCHOOL DESCRIBING
DISORDER ORDERLY, DISRUPTIVE AND
ANTAGONIZING BEHAVIOR THAT HAS
INTERFERED WITH THE SAFETY AND
SECURITY OF OUR COMMUNITY.
>> I HAD ONE OTHER EARLIER
FACULTY MEMBERS FORMED THIS
HUMAN CHAIN AROUND THE
PROTESTERS.
>> I AM A PROFESSOR HERE. I HAVE
EVERY RIGHT TO BE EVERYWHERE ON
CAMPUS AT NEARBY COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, WHERE PROTESTS ARE
ENTERING A SIXTH DAY, A
PRO-ISRAELI ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
SAID HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER
CAMPUS WHERE PROTESTERS HAVE
GATHERED, BUT WAS ALLOWED ACCESS
TO HIS BUSINESS SCHOOL DOWN THE
STREET. SO THEY ARE WILLING TO
USE JEWISH BRAINS. BUT THEY
DON’T WANT TO LET JEWISH PEOPLE
IN. BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO
ON CAMPUS WHERE THEY ARE
ALLOWING THE HAMAS SUPPORTERS,
AND THAT IS A SHAME.
>> THE PROFESSOR LATER POSTING
EARLIER TODAY, COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY REFUSED TO LET ME
ONTO CAMPUS. WHY BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT PROTECT MY SAFETY AS A
JEWISH PROFESSOR. THIS IS 1938.
AFTER MORE THAN 100 ARRESTS LAST
WEEK, A NEW ENCAMPMENT IS
GROWING AT COLUMBIA, ESCALATING
CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY. STUDENT
GROUPS LIKE THOSE AT OTHER
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, ARE
DEMANDING COLUMBIA DIVEST FROM
COMPANIES THAT DO BUSINESS WITH
ISRAEL. BUT CRITICS HIGHLIGHT
ANTI-SEMITIC HATE SPEECH AMONG
THE DEMONSTRATORS. NEW YORK’S
MAYOR, POINTING TO THIS IMAGE

READING AL-QASSAM’S NEXT TARGETS
A REFERENCE TO HAMAS MILITARY
WING.
>> THERE WERE PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF
CAMPUS ONE TIME WITH SIGNS THAT
SAID DEATH TO ALL JEWS. THAT IS
AWFUL, AND NOBODY SHOULD BE
HAVING TO EXPERIENCE THAT ON
THEIR CAMPUS.
>> A BIG NAME DONOR, NEW ENGLAND
PATRIOTS OWNER ROBERT KRAFT, NOW
PULLING SUPPORT FOR THE
UNIVERSITY. KRAFT SAYING, I’M NO
LONGER CONFIDENT THAT COLUMBIA
CAN PROTECT ITS STUDENTS AND
STAFF OVERNIGHT. COLUMBIA
ANNOUNCING CLASSES FOR THE REST
OF THE SEMESTER WILL BE HYBRID,
A COMBINATION OF IN-PERSON AND
REMOTE DUE TO THE SECURITY
CONCERNS. YESTERDAY AT YALE,
DOZENS OF ARRESTS FOR PROTESTS
THERE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN
CALIFORNIA, THE CAMPUS OF CAL
POLY HUMBOLDT IS CLOSED AS
PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS
OVERNIGHT BARRICADED THEMSELVES
INSIDE A BUILDING. REPUBLICAN
LAWMAKERS ARE DEMANDING
COLUMBIA’S PRESIDENT RESIGN OVER
HER HANDLING OF THE PROTESTS.
AND AS SOON AS TOMORROW, SHE
COULD FACE A CENSURE VOTE FROM
THE UNIVERSITY SENATE. ANDREW
ALLISON, LIONEL, THANK YOU.
>> AND NOW TO BALTIMORE AND A
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE WAKE OF
THAT DEADLY BRIDGE COLLAPSE LAST
MONTH, INCLUDING NEW CLAIMS
ABOUT WHO’S AT FAULT. THIS
MORNING, THE CITY OF BALTIMORE,
WITH NEW ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE
OWNER OF THE DOLLY, THE CARGO
SHIP THAT LOST POWER AND SLAMMED
INTO THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
BRIDGE LAST MONTH, CAUSING IT TO
COLLAPSE, KILLING SIX
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. IN A NEW
COURT FILING, LAWYERS FOR THE
CITY ARGUE THE DOLLY’S OWNER
FAILED TO REPAIR KNOWN POWER
PROBLEMS BEFORE THE COLLISION,
SAYING EVEN BEFORE LEAVING PORT,
ALARMS SHOWING INCONSISTENT
POWER SUPPLY ON THE DOLLY HAD
SOUNDED, BUT THE DOLLY LEFT PORT
ANYWAYS. THE COMPANY HAS SOUGHT
TO CAP ITS LIABILITY AT $43
MILLION, BUT BALTIMORE LEADERS
ARGUE THE LIABILITY SHOULD NOT
BE CAPPED, CLAIMING THE
COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE CAUSED THEM
TO DESTROY THE KEY BRIDGE AND
SINGLE HANDEDLY SHUT DOWN THE
PORT OF BALTIMORE, A SOURCE OF
JOBS AND REVENUE FOR THE CITY.
>> I THINK THE LAST BIG
DEVASTATION WAS THE PANDEMIC,
AND PRIOR TO THAT, NINE OVER 11.
IN THE CASE OF A PORT CLOSING,
WHAT’S THE NEAREST PORT THAT WE
CAN BRING THIS PRODUCT INTO? THE
COLLAPSE HALTED MOST TRAFFIC
THROUGH THE PORT OF BALTIMORE
SALVAGE CREWS HAVE OPENED THREE
TEMPORARY CHANNELS TO ALLOW SOME
VESSELS TO PASS THROUGH ABOUT
15% OF NORMAL TRAFFIC, BUT THE
MAIN SHIPPING CHANNEL IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLOSED FOR
SEVERAL MORE WEEKS.
>> AS A RESULT, EXPERTS SAY,
CONSUMERS CAN EXPECT HIGHER
PRICES ON SOME GOODS, PRIMARILY
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND HOME
BUILDING PRODUCTS.
>> I THINK THAT’S ALWAYS A
CERTAINTY, TO BE HONEST. I THINK
MOST SUPPLIERS ARE OF THE
MINDSET THAT THEY HAVE TO PASS
COSTS ALONG WHEN UNEXPECTED
THINGS HAPPEN AND COSTS INCREASE
.
>> BUT A FEDERAL COURT WILL
ULTIMATELY DECIDE WHO’S
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRIDGE
COLLAPSE.
>> ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT A MAJOR
AIRPORT, THIS TIME AT NEW YORK’S
JFK AIRPORT. LISTEN AS A PILOT
REALIZED FOUR PLANES WERE
CROSSING THE SAME RUNWAY AFTER
HE WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF.
>> THIS WAS 170 ABOVE THE RUNWAY
FOR LEFT THERE FOR TAKEOFF, ONE
SEVEN KILO HEAVY REJECTED
TAKEOFF ON THE RUNWAY.
>> THIS WAS AIRPLANE ABORTED
TAKEOFF. IT HAPPENED LAST
WEDNESDAY, ONE DAY BEFORE
ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT
WASHINGTON’S REAGAN AIRPORT. THE
FAA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED STAFFING
SHORTAGES AND HAS VOWED TO
REDUCE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER
FATIGUE.
>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
CRIMINAL TRIAL RESUMES IN NEW
YORK TODAY. BUT FIRST, A DISPUTE
OVER WHETHER HE VIOLATED THE
JUDGE’S GAG ORDER. ABC’S EM
NGUYEN HAS THOSE DETAILS. M GOOD
MORNING.
>> ANDREW. GOOD MORNING.
PROSECUTORS ARE HEADED TO COURT
TODAY WITH POSTS FROM TRUMP’S
SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, WHICH
THEY CLAIM VIOLATE THE COURT’S
GAG ORDER. THIS MORNING,
PROSECUTORS AND FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL ARE
REQUESTING HE BE HELD IN
CONTEMPT, CLAIMING TRUMP
VIOLATED A GAG ORDER TEN TIMES
IN RECENT DAYS. THE LIST OF
POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS INCLUDES
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT LINKED
TO ARTICLES CALLING MICHAEL
COHEN A KEY WITNESS IN THE TRIAL
A SERIAL PERJURER. PROSECUTORS
WANT THE JUDGE TO FIND TRUMP
$1,000 PER VIOLATION AND
THREATENED FURTHER PENALTIES.
THE JUDGE SCHEDULED A HEARING ON
THE ISSUE BEFORE WITNESS
TESTIMONY RESUMES TODAY.
>> IT’S A VERY, VERY SAD DAY IN
AMERICA. I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
>> PROSECUTORS ALLEGE TRUMP
FALSIFIED BUSINESS RECORDS TO
DISGUISE A $130,000 PAYMENT TO
STAR STORMY DANIELS, DAYS BEFORE
THE 2016 ELECTION, SO VOTERS
WOULD NOT FIND OUT ABOUT DANIELS
CLAIM OF AN AFFAIR. AT THE TIME,
NEWS HAD JUST BROKEN OF THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE, WHERE
TRUMP IS HEARD BRAGGING ABOUT
GROPING WOMEN.
>> WHEN YOU’RE A STAR, THEY LET
YOU DO IT. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
DURING OPENING STATEMENTS
YESTERDAY, THE PROSECUTOR QUOTED
TRUMP’S WORDS TO THE JURY,
SAYING THE TAPES IMPACT WAS
EXPLOSIVE AND TRUMP AND HIS
CAMPAIGN WERE DEEPLY CONCERNED.
>> WHEN TRUMP LEARNED DANIELS
WAS SHOPPING A STORY,
PROSECUTORS SAID HE WAS ADAMANT
WORD OF THE ALLEGED AFFAIR NOT
COME OUT. TRUMP DENIES ANY
WRONGDOING, HIS ATTORNEY TELLING
THE JURY I HAVE A SPOILER ALERT.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
TRYING TO INFLUENCE AN ELECTION.
IT’S CALLED DEMOCRACY AND THE
DEFENSE CLAIMED COHEN HAS AN
OBSESSION WITH GETTING TRUMP AND
THAT HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. THEIR
FIRST WITNESS CALLED TO THE
STAND WAS DAVID PECKER, THE
FORMER PUBLISHER OF THE NATIONAL
ENQUIRER. PECKER HAS
ACKNOWLEDGED BY NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP ONLY TO BURY THEM, A
PRACTICE KNOWN AS CATCH AND
KILL. ON THE STAND, PECKER WAS
BLUNT, SAYING, WE USED CHECKBOOK
JOURNALISM. WE PAID FOR STORIES.
PECKER MADE A DEAL WITH
PROSECUTORS TO AVOID CHARGES
HIMSELF. HE’LL BE BACK ON THE
STAND TODAY.
>> ALLISON THANKS, SAM. THE MAN
ACCUSED OF BREAKING INTO THE
OFFICIAL RESIDENCE OF LOS
ANGELES MAYOR KAREN BASS WAS
REPORTEDLY ABLE TO GET ONTO THE
SECOND FLOOR BEFORE BEING
ARRESTED. THE LA TIMES REPORTS.
THE MAYOR AND HER FAMILY HID IN
A SAFE ROOM AFTER THE MAN
SMASHED A WINDOW. THE SUSPECT,
PREVIOUSLY SERVED PRISON TIME
FOR ASSAULT IN MASSACHUSETTS.
IT’S UNCLEAR IF THE BREAK IN WAS
TARGETED.
>> THE NATION’S LARGEST HEALTH
INSURER IS TRYING TO LIMIT THE
DAMAGE FROM A MAJOR CYBER
ATTACK. UNITEDHEALTH GROUP NOW
SAYS A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF
PATIENT DATA WAS STOLEN FROM ITS
SYSTEMS IN FEBRUARY, INCLUDING
PERSONAL AND HEALTH INFORMATION.
THE COMPANY SAYS THE HACK CAME
DESPITE PAYING A RANSOM.
>> EROTIC WINDS HELPED CREATE A
SO-CALLED SMOKE NATO AT A
WAREHOUSE FIRE IN WASHINGTON
STATE. EVACUATIONS WERE ORDERED
SUNDAY. EWS WERE STILL ON THE
SCENE YESTERDAY, PUTTING OUT
HOTSPOTS. AND THIS RIGHT HERE
LOOKS LIKE A SCENE OUT OF
TWISTER, A FAMILY’S BOUNCE HOUSE
SOARING INTO THE AIR WHEN A DUST
DEVIL FORMED OUTSIDE LOS
ANGELES. WOW. THE WIND ALSO
TOSSED AROUND A TRAMPOLINE. NO
ONE WAS HURT WITH THAT.
>> LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR

BECOMING THE FIRST SOUTHERN

>> WHAT CHANGED THE MOST IS
EVERYBODY STARTED SEEING WHAT WE

THIS MORNING, THE SUPREME COURT
APPEARS OPEN TO ALLOWING CITIES
AND TOWNS TO CRIMINALLY PUNISH
HOMELESS PEOPLE AT ISSUE WHETHER
GOVERNMENTS CAN TICKET FINE OR
POSSIBLY JAIL HOMELESS PEOPLE
WHO SLEEP OUTSIDE IN PUBLIC
AREAS. OPPONENTS ARGUE THAT
VIOLATES THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT,
WHICH PROHIBITS CRUEL AND
UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT. JUSTICE AMY
CONEY BARRETT, QUESTIONING THAT
CLAIM SO IT WOULD NOT VIOLATE
THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO PUNISH
PUBLIC URINATION AND DEFECATION.
THE CASE STEMS FROM THE CITY OF
GRANTS PASS, OREGON, WHICH HAS

PUBLIC FROM USING A BLANKET,
PILLOW OR CARDBOARD BOX.
>> I THINK THAT IT IS HARMFUL
FOR PEOPLE TO BE LIVING IN
PUBLIC SPACES ON STREETS AND IN
PARKS, WHATEVER BEDDING
MATERIALS. WHEN HUMANS ARE
LIVING IN THOSE CONDITIONS, WE
THINK THAT THAT’S NOT
COMPASSIONATE.

HI, I’M DIAMOND SAITO TODAY
ON ABC NEWS LIVE.
FIRST, THE HISTORIC TRIAL.
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
AND TIME FRIEND OF TRUMP’S
DAVID PECKER IS EXPECTED
BACK ON THE STAND TODAY.
WHAT’S ALREADY BEEN SAID AND
WHAT THE JURY WILL HEAR ON DAY
TWO OF TESTIMONY CAMPUS’S
ON EDGE COAST TO COAST.
MORE THAN 150 PROTESTERS
HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AT ONE
CAMPUS ALONE AS TENSIONS OVER
THE ISRAEL-HAMAS ESCALATE.
STUDENTS EVEN BARRICADED
THEMSELVES IN CALIFORNIA.
THE LATEST ON THE UNREST
AND HEIGHTENED SECURITY AT SOME
OF THE NATION’S LEADING
AND UNIVERSITIES.
DISASTER AVERTED, ONE OF
THE COUNTRY’S BUSIEST AIRPORTS.
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN FOUR PLANES
WERE CLEARED TO CROSS
THE RUNWAY JUST AS A PASSENGER
JET WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF?
PLUS, A CRITICAL DECISION
IN THE IDAHO COLLEGE MURDER
CASE AND A RULING ABOUT A
CONTROVERSIAL JURY SURVEY
AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE CASE
.
WE BEGIN WITH THE GAG ORDER
HEARING AND FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY
TRIAL.
THIS MORNING, PROSECUTORS
ARE ASKING THE JUDGE TO HOLD
TRUMP IN CONTEMPT, CLAIMING
HE VIOLATED THE LIMITED GAG
ORDER TEN TIMES.
>> THE JURY WILL THEN HEAR
MORE TESTIMONY FROM FIRST
WITNESS, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER, WHO PROSECUTOR
SAY WAS THE EYES AND EARS
OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE
CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY.
OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE IN NEW
YORK WITH THE LATEST, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER RETURNS TO THE
WITNESS STAND WHERE HE ALREADY
TESTIFIED ABOUT THE TABLOIDS,
CHECKBOOK JOURNALISM.
PROSECUTORS SAID IT PAID FOR
STORIES IT NEVER PRINTED
TO HELP PROTECT DONALD
TRUMP DURING THE 2016 CAMPAIGN
AND WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION,
PROSECUTOR SAID THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN WAS DEEPLY
CONCERNED.
>> THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE
HAD SURFACED.
TRUMP OVERHEARD TALKING
ABOUT GRABBING WOMEN, JUST
KISSING THEM.
>> IT’S LIKE A MAGNET.
I JUST I DON’T EVEN KNOW IT.
>> AND WHEN YOU START, THEY LET
YOU DO IT.
PROSECUTORS SAID THE IMPACT OF
THAT TAPE ON THE CAMPAIGN WAS
IMMEDIATE AND EXPLOSIVE.
PROSECUTORS SAID WHEN
TRUMP HEARD FROM PECKER
THAT ADULT FILM ACTRESS STORMY
DANIELS HAD ANOTHER STORY
THAT COULD TURN INTO A
SCANDAL.
HE WAS ADAMANT THAT HE DID NOT
WANT THE STORY TO COME OUT.
AT TRUMP’S DIRECTION,
PROSECUTORS SAID HIS FIXER,
MICHAEL COHEN, WIRED DANIELS
$130,000 AND THEN TO HIDE
THE TRUE NATURE OF THE PAYMENTS
,TRUMP ALLEGEDLY DECIDED IT
SHOULD BE RECORDED AS LEGAL
SERVICES.
ALL PART OF WHAT PROSECUTORS
CALLED A PLANNED, COORDINATED,
LONG RUNNING CONSPIRACY TO KEEP
THE VOTING PUBLIC IN THE DARK.
IT WAS ELECTION FRAUD.
PROSECUTORS SAID, PURE
AND SIMPLE.
>> TRUMP SAID IT WAS NO SUCH
THING.
IT’S A CASE AS TO BOOKKEEPING,
WHICH IS VERY MINOR THING
IN TERMS OF THE LAW.
THIS IS A CASE WHERE YOU PAY
A LAWYER THAT IS A LAWYER,
AND THEY CALL IT A LEGAL
EXPENSE.
>> THE DEFENSE SAID PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS INNOCENT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT
COMMIT ANY CRIMES.
AND DEFENSE
ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE
SAID MICHAEL COHEN CANNOT
BE TRUSTED.
HE IS OBSESSED WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
HE HAS A GOAL AND OBSESSION
WITH GETTING TRUMP.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAID
IN COURT.
HUNCHED FORWARD, ARMS CROSSED
ON THE TABLE, GLOWERING
AT PECKER, SOMEONE WHO ONCE
CALLED A PERSONAL FRIEND
TESTIFIED FOR THE PROSECUTION.
PECKER FLASHED A BIG SMILE
AND CACKLED AT TIMES, BELYING
THE GRAVITY OF THE MOMENT.
THE FIRST WITNESS IN THE FIRST
CRIMINAL TRIAL OF A FORMER
PRESIDENT.
AT TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY,
DIANE TRUMP CLOSES HIS EYES,
PERHAPS IN THOUGHT,
IN DEFIANCE, DISINTEREST, OR
MAYBE JUST FATIGUE.
HE SNAPS, TOO, WHEN A LAWYER
NUDGES HIM WITH A NOTE OR WHEN
HE HEARS SOMETHING POINTED.
AND THIS MORNING, WE EXPECT
HE WILL PAY RAPT ATTENTION
AS THE JUDGE DECIDES WHETHER
TO HOLD HIM IN CONTEMPT FOR
REPEATED VIOLATIONS OF A GAG
ORDER.
DIANE, SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE
CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY,
THANK YOU.
>> AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING
TRIAL ALL DAY LONG AND BRING

AND COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY’S
PRESIDENT NOW FACING GROWING
CALLS FOR HER RESIGNATION
WITH INFLUENTIAL DONORS
AND ALUMNI LIKE THE NEW ENGLAND
PATRIOTS OWNER ROBERT KRAFT
SAYING THAT HE IS RECONSIDERING
HIS SUPPORT FOR THE UNIVERSITY
.
DIANE?
SO, STEPHANIE, WHAT’S IT LIKE
THERE NOW AND WHAT NEXT?
WELL, DIANE, RIGHT NOW
IT’S REALLY CALM.
I MEAN, WE WERE HERE YESTERDAY
FOR A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME
AND WE SAW PRO-PALESTINIAN
DEMONSTRATORS AS PRO-ISRAEL
DEMONSTRATORS, MANY OF THEM
SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER AT TIMES
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE GATES HERE
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, THERE
ARE NO GROUPS GATHERED
THE UNIVERSITY RIGHT NOW.
THAT, OF COURSE, COULD CHANGE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
BUT FOR NOW, WE KNOW THAT THE
UNIVERSITY HAS SAID THEY DON’T
REALLY WANT TO CALL THE NYPD,
BUT THEY WERE ON STANDBY
YESTERDAY, MANY, MANY HOURS.
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IS DOUBLE
UP ON CAMPUS PUBLIC SAFETY
OFFICERS AND THAT’S WHO THEY
HAVE IN PLACE THIS MORNING.
DAN STEPHANIE RAMOS AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, THANK YOU.
>> AND THE SENATE IS SCHEDULED
TO VOTE TODAY ON THE $95
BILLION FOREIGN AID BILL FOR
UKRAINE AND ISRAEL.
THE BILL ALSO INCLUDES
A POTENTIAL BAN ON TIKTOK.
SENIOR WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG
HAS THOSE DETAILS.
>> HI, SELINA.
HEY, GOOD MORNING, DIANE.
IN JUST A FEW HOURS, THE SENATE
WILL START VOTING ON THAT
MASSIVE $95 BILLION AID PACKAGE
TO UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TAIWAN.
AND FOR AMERICA’S ALLIES, THIS
COULD NOT COME FAST ENOUGH.
$60 BILLION IS GOING
TO UKRAINE.
THEY’VE BEEN RUNNING OUT
OF AMMUNITION.
SO THIS WOULD RESUPPLY
THEIR DEFENSES AND COULD HELP
SLOW DOWN RUSSIA’S ADVANCES.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SPOKE
TO UKRAINIAN
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY YESTERDAY,
VOWING TO SIGN THIS INTO LAW
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
NOW, HOUSE SPEAKER JOHNSON PUT
HIS JOB ON THE LINE TO GET THIS
DONE, DEFYING THE FAR WING
OF HIS PARTY.
BUT AT LEAST FOR NOW, HIS JOB
IS SAFE.
THIS LEGISLATION IS EXPECTED
TO SPEED THROUGH THE SENATE
AND THIS ALSO INCLUDES
A POTENTIAL BAN ON TIKTOK.
THE APP WOULD BE BANNED IN THE
US IF ITS CHINESE PARENT
COMPANY DOESN’T SELL THE APP
WITHIN A YEAR.
BUT THIS COULD BE A VERY
COMPLICATED PROCESS.
TIKTOK GOING TO FIGHT THIS
IN THE COURTS AND THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT COULD BLOCK ANY
POTENTIAL.
AND EVEN IF IT GOT TO THAT
POINT WHERE IT WERE BANNED
HERE, IT’S NOT JUST GOING
TO DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR PHONE.
INSTEAD, IT COULD DIE A SLOW
DEATH OR IT’S BANNED FROM
THE APP STORES.
SO NEW USERS CAN’T JOIN
AND EXISTING USERS CAN’T GET
UPDATES.
DIANE SELINA WANG ON CAPITOL
HILL, THANK YOU.
>> AND TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN
TAKES HIS MESSAGE ABOUT A
WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE
TO FLORIDA.
THE CAMPAIGN SAYS THE PRESIDENT
WILL SPEAK ABOUT ACCESS
TO ABORTION AS WELL AS BIRTH
CONTROL AND IVF.
>> A SPEECH COMES EXACTLY
A WEEK BEFORE FLORIDA’S NEW LAW
BANNING MOST ABORTION GOES INTO
EFFECT.
ABC’S CHIEF WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE
IS TRAVELING WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
>> WELL, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN
HOPING THAT THE OF ABORTION
WILL HELP DRIVE VOTERS TO THE
POLLS IN NOVEMBER IS TRYING
TO SEIZE THIS MOMENT, BLASTING
NEW RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTION
ACCESS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND ARGUING THAT DONALD
TRUMP DID THIS, TRYING TO TIE
THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY TO THEIR
RIVAL WHO HAS BOASTED
OF APPOINTING OF THE SUPREME
COURT JUSTICES TO OVERTURN ROE.
NOW, DOWN IN TAMPA TODAY,
THE PRESIDENT WILL HOLD
HIS FIRST MAJOR CAMPAIGN EVENT
ON THE ISSUE.
ONE WEEK BEFORE THE STATE
OF FLORIDA IS SET TO BAN
ABORTION.
AFTER SIX WEEKS BEFORE THOSE
WOMEN, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE
PREGNANT WITH EXCEPTIONS,
OF COURSE, FOR, AND THE LIFE
OF THE MOTHER.
NOW, SO FAR, KAMALA HARRIS,
THE VICE PRESIDENT, HAS BEEN
THE ONE LEADING THE CHARGE
ON THIS ISSUE FOR THE CAMPAIGN
.
THE PRESIDENT IS A STAUNCH
DEFENDER OF ABORTION ACCESS,
BUT AS A CATHOLIC, HE’S ALSO
HAD A MORE COMPLICATED
EVOLUTION ON THIS ISSUE.
BUT THEY KNOW THAT ABORTION
IS GOING TO BE A CRITICAL
AND PIVOTAL ISSUE IN THIS
ELECTION.
THEY ARE EAGER TO PUT IT FRONT
AND CENTER DIANE.
CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT
MARY BRUCE, THANK YOU.

FIRST, THE FAA IS INVESTIGATING
YET ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT A
MAJOR AIRPORT, THIS TIME AT JFK
IN NEW YORK.
OFFICIALS SAY FOUR PLANES GOT
CLEARANCE TO CROSS AN ACTIVE
RUNWAY AT THE SAME TIME THAT A
FIFTH PLANE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE
OFF.
ABC’S IKE EJIOCHI HAS MORE ON
THE DISASTER AVERTED.
ANOTHER NEAR DISASTER NARROWLY
AVERTED AT ONE OF THE NATION’S
BUSIEST AIRPORTS.

>> STAFF SAY THE PILOT
BEGINNING TO SPEED DOWN
THE RUNWAY HITTING 40 MILES PER
HOUR.
THE PILOT THEN TO ABORT AFTER
SPOTTING FOUR JETS PREPARING
TO CROSS THE SAME RUNWAY,
PUTTING THEM ON A COLLISION
COURSE.
>> DON’T THINK HE’LL HAVE ANY
REGRETS.
>> TAKEOFFS, TRAFFIC
ON THE RUNWAY MOVIE FOR
AIRCRAFT, OF COURSE, AN ACTIVE
RUNWAY AND ONE CONTROLLER NOT
TALKING TO ANOTHER INDICATES
A SPECIAL LEVEL OF STRESS.
>> THIS NEAR-MISS CAME JUST
A DAY BEFORE, ANOTHER NEAR
CATASTROPHIC CLOSE CALL
AT WASHINGTON’S REAGAN
NATIONAL.
>> WITH THAT, WE START TO ENJOY
REPORTS THAT A JETBLUE FLIGHT
CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF FORCED
TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES AFTER AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROL, NOTICED
THEY CLEARED A SOUTHWEST PLANE
TO TAXI ACROSS THE SAME RUNWAY
.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE STOPPED.
WE STOPPED.
WE WERE CLEARED TO CROSS FOR
THE TWO PACK PLANES COMING
WITHIN 400 FEET OF EACH OTHER.
THE FAA ACKNOWLEDGING ITS
STAFFING SHORTAGES, VOWING
TO DO MORE TO REDUCE AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROLLER FATIGUE.

THAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM.
>> THE DEFENSE TEAM HIRED AN
OUTSIDE CONSULTANT TO CONDUCT

QUESTIONS LIKE, HOW DO
YOU READ, SEEN OR HEARD IF
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, MOSCOW
AND THEIR PARENTS LIVED IN FEAR
UNTIL BRIAN KOHBERGER ARRESTED
FOR THE MURDERS?
AND HAVE YOU READ, SEEN OR
HEARD IF BRIAN KOHBERGER

REPRESENTATIONS PLACED IN THE
FORM OF THE QUESTION,

THEY ARE NOT TRUE OR THEY WOULD

A GAG ORDER HEARING IS ABOUT
TO START IN FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MONEY TRIAL.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT CLAIMING HE VIOLATED
A LIMITED GAG ORDER TEN TIMES
THE.
JURY WILL THEN HEAR
MORE TESTIMONY FROM FIRST
WITNESS, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
PECKER.
BUT PROSECUTORS SAY WAS
THE EYES AND EARS OF THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY
TO FELONY CHARGES OF FALSIFYING
BUSINESS RECORDS TO HIDE HUSH
HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS MADE BY HIS
THEN ATTORNEY, MICHAEL COHEN,
TO ADULT FILM ACTRESS STORMY
DANIELS.
LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS
EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL
PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI AND ABC
NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR
KIM WEHLE.
FOR MORE ON THIS.
JOHN, WHAT’S THE LATEST
ON THESE TEN ALLEGED GAG ORDER
VIOLATIONS?
HOW ARE PROSECUTORS EXPECTED
TO MAKE THESE ARGUMENTS TODAY?
WELL, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
THEY’RE BASICALLY GOING TO SHOW
DONALD TRUMP’S POST, BECAUSE
HERE’S THE PROBLEM FOR DONALD
TRUMP.
IT’S LITERALLY IN BLACK
AND WHITE OR IN TRUTH,
IN TRUTH, SOCIAL.
THESE ARE ALL POSTS THAT DONALD
MADE OVER THE COURSE OF THE
LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AND IT’S AFTER THIS ORDER
IS PUT INTO EFFECT
BY JUDGE MERCHAN.
>> IF YOU’LL RECALL,
PROSECUTORS INTRODUCED THIS
LAST WEEK, ONE WEEK AGO, DIANE,
THE FIRST DAY AT THIS TRIAL
BEGAN RIGHT BEFORE JURY
SELECTION, SAYING IN THEIR
OPINION, DONALD TRUMP HAD
VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER AT LEAST
THREE TIMES INVOLVING ATTACKS
HE MADE AGAINST STORMY DANIELS
AND MICHAEL.
LATER IN THE WEEK, THEY ADD AN
ADDITIONAL SEVEN.
SO WE ARE UP TO TEN POTENTIAL
VIOLATIONS OF THIS GAG ORDER.
NOW, LET’S BE CLEAR.
THE GAG ORDER ONLY RELATES
TO WITNESSES, STAFF, OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE ATTORNEYS
THAT ARE PROSECUTING TRUMP.
IT DOES NOT RELATE TO JUDGE
MERSHON OR D.A. ALVIN BRAGG
DOES RELATES THEIR FAMILIES,
BUT NOT THE TWO INDIVIDUAL
OFFICE HOLDERS, IF YOU WILL.
THE THING THAT’S INTERESTING
ABOUT THIS AND MANY
PEOPLE OBSERVED IT, IS THAT IF
DONALD TRUMP, ESPECIALLY
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND IN
THOSE STATEMENTS WE’VE SEEN HIM
MAKE OUTSIDE OF COURT,
IT’S GOTTEN PRETTY CLOSE
TO DOING THOSE VIOLATIONS
AGAIN, ORLY.
BUT NEVERTHELESS, FOR
RIGHT NOW, PROSECUTORS ARE ONLY
CITING THOSE STATEMENTS HE HAS
MADE IN HIS SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORM THAT KIM TRUMP’S
ATTORNEYS SAY HE WAS DEFENDING
HIMSELF FROM ATTACKS BY LIKELY
WITNESSES.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT
ARGUMENT?
>> THIS IS REALLY TRICKY FOR
THE JUDGE BECAUSE WE’RE IN AN
ELECTION YEAR AND.
HE’S THE PRESUMPTIVE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
AND SO HE’S ARGUING ESSENTIALLY
THIS IS HIS FIRST AMENDMENT
RIGHT TO POLITICAL SPEECH
AND THAT HE HAS TO BE ABLE
TO RESPOND TO THESE THINGS.
AND THE JUDGE DOESN’T WANT
TO CREATE SOME KIND
OF APPEALABLE ISSUE THAT COULD
DELAY THE TRIAL FURTHER.
THAT BEING SAID, THE JUDGE HAS
ALREADY ISSUED A REVISED GAG
ORDER IN IN THAT ARTICULATE
THAT THIS IS SERIOUS,
THAT THESE PEOPLE INVOLVED
IN THIS PROCESS ARE POTENTIALLY
IN HARM’S WAY.
HIS OWN DAUGHTER, THE JUDGE’S
OWN DAUGHTER, WAS ALREADY SORT
OF IDENTIFIED BY DONALD
TRUMP AND TARGETED.
AND THE JUDGE DOESN’T WANT
TO SORT OF IN HINDSIGHT,
HAVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY BE HURT.
SO JUST HAVE TO SEE.
IT’S VERY, VERY TRICKY.
THERE’S NOT A LOT HE CAN DO
INITIALLY, HE COULD GET SOME
KIND OF REBUKE.
HE COULD PUT A THOUSAND DOLLAR
FINE ON HIM, WHICH WON’T WON’T
TOUCH DONALD TRUMP.
THE BIG ISSUE IF THIS
CONTINUES, WILL HE UNDER
NEW YORK LAW, REMANDED INTO
CUSTODY?
I THINK THAT’S UNTHINKABLE
IN THIS MOMENT.
BUT THERE ARE THEIR SAFETY
AND LIVES AT STAKE.
>> AND THE JUDGE UNDERSTANDS
THAT.
>> SO, KIM, IF HE IS FOUND,
IS IN CONTEMPT.
TRUMP FACES ANYTHING FROM
A WARNING TO POTENTIAL JAIL
TIME.
SO YOU’RE SAYING YOU DON’T
THINK JAIL TIME IS LIKELY.
HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT
IF IS FOUND IN CONTEMPT?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE
WAS A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER
DONALD TRUMP’S LAWYERS WOULD
GET THE WITNESS LIST PRIOR
TO THE FIRST DAY OF TRIAL,
HIS LAWYER SAID, OH, WELL, I’LL
MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING HAPPENS.
AND THE JUDGE WAS SKEPTICAL
THAT HIS OWN LAWYERS COULD
CONTROL HIM.
SO REALLY, THE JUDGE HAS
TO ISSUE SOME KIND OF RESPONSE
THAT COMMUNICATES TO DONALD
TRUMP TO STOP.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF IT ESCALATES,
THEN WE COULD BE IN THAT REALM
OF POTENTIAL, YOU KNOW, CUSTODY
I THINK THAT’S CLOSE
TO IMPOSSIBLE.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND,
YOU KNOW, WE’LL HAVE TO SEE
HOW IT UNFOLDS FOR DONALD
TRUMP.
>> DELAY, OF COURSE, STILL
REMAINS THE PRIMARY GOAL DELAY
THROUGH APPEALS, MAYBE
HAVE SOME KIND OF MISCONDUCT OR
PROBLEMS WITH THE JURY
THAT PUSHES THAT EVEN FURTHER,
THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
STILL IS HIS FRIEND.
SO THIS IS A HIGH STAKES GAME
BACK AND FORTH HERE BETWEEN
THE PROSECUTION, THE JUDGE
AND DONALD TRUMP AND
HIS LAWYERS.
>> JOHN TRUMP IS ALREADY USING
THIS CONTEMPT HEARING
TO FUNDRAISE FOR
HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE
MESSAGING THERE AND HOW IS THIS
ALL LANDING WITH HIS
SUPPORTERS?
SO ON THE MESSAGING FRONT,
MEAN, THIS IS A REALLY TOUGH
DYNAMIC, RIGHT?
THIS IS WHERE THE COURTROOM
AND THE CAMPAIGN ARE LITERALLY
HITTING EACH OTHER IN THE HEAD,
BECAUSE FROM A COURTROOM,
A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE, THIS
IS NOT GOOD FOR DONALD TRUMP.
RIGHT.
VIOLATING THE GAG ORDER IS NOT
GOOD.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS BEHAVIOR IN THE
COURTROOM COULD BE A PROBLEM
IN THE WAY THE JURY IS WATCHING
HIM ON THE POLITICAL SIDE
OF IT.
LOOK, RON DESANTIS SAID IT
FAMOUSLY, EVERY TIME DONALD
TRUMP GOT INDICTED LAST YEAR,
HE DID BETTER.
DONALD TRUMP NOSE LEANING THIS
AS A VICTIM, IS HELPING HIM
POLITICALLY.
AND SO FAR, IT HAS.
LOOK, HE IS THE PRESUMPTIVE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
THE QUESTION DOES BECOME,
THOUGH, WHEN DOES IT BECOME TOO
MUCH?
IT WAS INTERESTING OBSERVATION,
ACTUALLY, IN PART, YOU KNOW,
JUST FROM PEOPLE IN
THE COURTROOM.
I SPOKE TO ONE POTENTIAL JUROR
THAT WAS DISQUALIFY LAST WEEK,
AND THEY JUST SAID THAT IT WAS
JUST WEIRD TO HIM IN PERSON
AND TO SEE HIM IN THAT SETTING,
IT MADE ME FEEL DIFFERENTLY
ABOUT HIM.
PERSON WASN’T, YOU KNOW, PRO OR
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, BUT I
THAT’S WHERE IN ONE RESPECT NOW
WE’VE SEEN DONALD TRUMP COME
OUT TO THESE CAMERAS MULTIPLE
TIMES.
AT SOME POINT, YOU KNOW, WHEN
DOES THE AUDIENCE WHEN DOES
THE VIEWER GET EXHAUSTED
BY SOME OF THIS?
AND THAT’S SOMETHING
THE CAMPAIGN IS EXTREMELY
COGNIZANT OF.
AND, JOHN, LATER TODAY
WILL HEAR MORE TESTIMONY FROM
THE FIRST WITNESS IN THIS CASE,
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER.
YEAH, HE’S THE FORMER PUBLISHER
OF THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER".
HE’S ALSO A LONGTIME FRIEND
OF DONALD TRUMP’S.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING FOR
THERE AS HE TAKES THE STAND?
>> I MEAN, THE WORST THING
TO HAVE IS THAT YOUR FRIEND
BACKSTABBED YOU OR SAYS
SOMETHING BAD ABOUT YOU.
BUT WHAT’S WORSE THAN THAT IS
TO HAVE TO WATCH THEM DO.
IT I MEAN, DAVID PECKER HAS NOT
SAID ONE THING ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP OVER THE COURSE OF THE
LAST DECADE ISH SINCE THIS
ALL BEGAN RIGHT.
STORMY DANIELS, MICHAEL COHEN,
MANY OF THE OTHER WITNESSES
HAVE.
SO FOR DONALD TRUMP TO HAVE TO
SIT THERE AND WATCH SOMEBODY
THAT WAS A FRIEND AND A
CONFIDANTE, SOMEBODY THAT,
YOU KNOW, WOULD LITERALLY
GET OUT IN BATTLE FOR DONALD
TRUMP, SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE
AGAINST HIM, MAYBE NOT
INTENDING TO, BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, EVEN THE DIALOG
THAT WE SAW IN COURT, YOU KNOW,
OUR PETER CHARALAMBOUS
OLIVIA RUBIN AND AARON KATERSKY
ALL OBSERVED THIS, THAT,
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A BIT OF A
YOU KNOW, FRIENDSHIP,
NONDESCRIPT, YOU KNOW, VERBAL
LANGUAGE, BUT JUST A NOD,
A SMILE, A WINK.
>> THERE’S CLEARLY IS STILL
A CLOSENESS BETWEEN DONALD
TRUMP AND DAVID PECKER.
THEY HAVEN’T SPOKEN ABOUT THIS
CASE, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE
DAVID PECKER ENTERED INTO
A NON-PROSECUTION AGREEMENT
AND HE’S GOT TO TELL THE TRUTH
AND NOT THAT.
BUT REGARDLESS, WHATEVER HE
SAYS ON THAT STAND, IT’S GOING
TO SHED LIGHT ABOUT THAT
RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO BE
HARD FOR DONALD TRUMP.
>> ALL RIGHT.
JOHN SANTUCCI KIM WEHLE, THANK
YOU BOTH.
AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS
TRIAL ALL DAY LONG AND BRING
YOU UPDATES RIGHT HERE ON ABC

>> WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.

A GAG ORDER HEARING IS ABOUT
TO GET UNDERWAY IN FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY
TRIAL.
THIS MORNING, PROSECUTORS
ARE ASKING THE JUDGE TO HOLD
TRUMP CONTEMPT, CLAIMING
HE VIOLATED THE LIMITED GAG
ORDER AND TIMES.
THE JURY WILL THEN HEAR
MORE TESTIMONY FROM FIRST
WITNESS, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER, WHO PROSECUTORS
SAY WAS THE EYES AND EARS
OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
>> SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE
CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY
IS OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE
IN NEW YORK CITY WITH THE
LATEST FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER RETURNS TO THE
WITNESS STAND WHERE HE ALREADY
TESTIFIED THE TABLOIDS,
CHECKBOOK JOURNALISM.
PROSECUTORS SAID IT PAID FOR
STORIES IT NEVER PRINTED
TO HELP PROTECT DONALD
TRUMP DURING THE 2016 CAMPAIGN
AND WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION,
PROSECUTORS SAID THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN WAS DEEPLY
CONCERNED THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD
TAPE HAD SURFACED.
>> TRUMP OVERHEARD TALKING
ABOUT GRABBING WOMEN AND JUST
KISSING THEM.
SO THE MAGNITUDE JUST I DON’T
EVEN KNOW WHERE AND WHEN
YOU START TO DO IT.
>> PROSECUTORS SAID THE
IMPACT OF THAT TAPE
ON THE CAMPAIGN WAS IMMEDIATE
AND EXPLOSIVE.
PROSECUTORS SAID WHEN
TRUMP HEARD FROM PECKER
THAT ADULT FILM ACTRESS STORMY
DANIELS HAD ANOTHER STORY
THAT COULD TURN INTO A
SCANDAL.
HE WAS ADAMANT THAT HE DID NOT
WANT THE STORY TO OUT
AT TRUMP’S DIRECTION.
PROSECUTORS SAID HIS FIXER,
MICHAEL WIRED DANIELS $130,000.
AND THEN TO HIDE THE TRUE
NATURE OF THE PAYMENT.
>> TRUMP ALLEGEDLY DECIDED IT
SHOULD BE RECORDED.
>> LEGAL SERVICES.
ALL PART OF WHAT PROSECUTORS
CALLED A PLAN COORDINATE LONG
RUNNING CONSPIRACY TO KEEP
THE VOTING PUBLIC IN THE DARK.
IT WAS ELECTION, PROSECUTORS
SAID, PURE AND SIMPLE.
>> TRUMP SAID IT WAS NO SUCH
THING.
>> IT’S A CASE AS TO KEEPING
WHICH IS A VERY MINOR THING
IN TERMS OF LAW.
>> THIS IS A CASE WHERE YOU PAY
A LAWYER, THERE IS A LAWYER,
AND THEY CALL IT A LEGAL
EXPENSE.
>> THE DEFENSE SAID PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS INNOCENT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT
COMMIT ANY CRIMES AND DEFENSE
ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE
SAID MICHAEL COHEN CANNOT
BE TRUSTED.
HE IS OBSESSED WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
HE HAS A GOAL AND OBSESSION
WITH GETTING TRUMP.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S SAT
IN COURT, HUNCHED FORWARD, ARMS
CROSSED ON THE TABLE, GLOWERING
HIS PECKER.
SOMEONE WHO ONCE CALLED TRUMP
A PERSONAL FRIEND TESTIFIED FOR
THE PROSECUTOR.
>> PECKER FLASHED A BIG SMILE
AND CACKLED AT TIMES, BELYING
THE GRAVITY OF THE MOMENT.
>> THE FIRST WITNESS IN THE
FIRST CRIMINAL TRIAL OF A
FORMER PRESIDENT.
>> ABC SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE
CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY
JOINS FROM OUTSIDE
THE COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH ABC
NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL
PRODUCER JOHN AND ABC NEWS
LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR KIM WEHLE.
AND WHAT CAN WE EXPECT HEAR
IN COURT TODAY AS PROSECUTORS
TRY TO CONVINCE THIS JUDGE THAT
TRUMP SHOULD BE HELD
IN CONTEMPT FOR THESE
ALLEGED GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS?
>> THE ARGUMENTS ARE PRETTY
WELL LAID OUT, DIANE.
PROSECUTORS HAVE SAID THEY’VE
IDENTIFIED TEN SOCIAL MEDIA
POSTS BY TRUMP THAT WERE
DISPARAGING OF WITNESSES
MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY
DANIELS, AND THAT THEY SAID
VIOLATED THE JUDGE’S GAG ORDER
AGAINST VERBALLY ATTACKING
WITNESSES.
PROSECUTORS SAID IT HAS TO STOP
BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE A
CHILLING EFFECT ON PEOPLE
COMING FORWARD.
AND SO THEY WANT TRUMP FINED
$1,000 FOR EACH OFFENDING POST
,A TOTAL OF TEN GRAND.
THE DEFENSE SAYS THIS WAS JUST
POLITICAL SPEECH AND TRUMP WAS
RESPONDING TO ATTACKS FROM
THE WITNESSES.
AND SO HE SHOULDN’T BE HELD
IN CONTEMPT FOR A WILLFUL
VIOLATION OF THE GAG ORDER.
>> JON, THIS GAG ORDER CENTERED
AROUND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS,
BUT TRUMP ALSO SPEAKS A LOT
ABOUT THESE CASES.
EVEN INSIDE THE COURTHOUSE
BEFORE OR AFTER HE ENTERS
THE COURTROOM.
SO HOW CAREFUL DOES HE HAVE
TO BE ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS NOW
THAT THIS CRIMINAL TRIAL
IS UNDERWAY?
>> EXTREMELY CAREFUL BECAUSE
GUESS WHAT?
WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS LET’S
GO A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY.
WHEN WE WERE AT THE
NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL,
CIVIL.
YOU’LL RECALL DONALD
TRUMP WOULD DO EXACTLY THERE.
WHAT HE’S DOING HERE?
HE’D WALK OUT OF THAT COURTROOM
AND HE’D MAKE STATEMENTS IN OF
THOSE CASES.
HE MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE
CLERK IN CASE THAT WORKED
WITH THE JUDGE IN THE AG’S
CASE.
>> AND IMMEDIATELY HE RETURNED
TO COURT.
THE JUDGE BROUGHT DONALD
TRUMP UP TO THE STAND AND ASKED
HIM ABOUT THOSE COMMENTS.
SO YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE
THAT PROSECUTORS AND THE
JUDGE ARE BOTH LISTENING TO THE
STATEMENTS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
MAKING.
HE’S RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THEIR
ROOM.
HE MUST BE CAREFUL.
NOW, LOOK, THIS IS WHERE THINGS
GET A LITTLE COMPLICATED,
RIGHT?
BECAUSE DONALD HAS TWO SIDES
OF HIS BRAIN IN THIS CASE.
HE’S GOT THE POLITICAL AND HE’S
THE LEGAL ON THE POLITICAL
SIDE.
THEY BELIEVE THIS.
HE’S WORKING WELL FOR HIM,
AND THAT’S WHY HE’S GOING
TO KEEP IT UP ON THE LEGAL SIDE
OF IT.
NOT GOOD.
NOT GOOD AT ALL.
ANY TIME YOU ARE HIT
WITH VIOLATION OF A GAG ORDER
OR IF IT EVER LED TO SOMETHING
LIKE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF COURT.
KIM WEHLE MADE THIS POINT
EARLIER.
I AGREE WITH IT.
IT’S NOT LIKE DONALD TRUMP IS
GOING TO GET HAULED OFF TO JAIL
ANY TIME SOON.
BUT JUST THAT IDEA WE HAVE SEEN
ALREADY, BASED ON THE WAY
THE JUDGE IS RUNNING THESE
PROCEEDINGS, HE IS NOT MESSING
AROUND.
DIANE AND I CAN.
TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY TRUMP WAS
JUST DEFENDING HIMSELF AGAINST
LIKELY WITNESSES WHEN HE MADE
THESE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
THAT ARE GOING TO COME UP
IN TODAY’S HEARING USING
HIS STATUS AS A
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE COULD
ACTUALLY FACTOR INTO OF THIS.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN MORE ABOUT
THAT?
YES, BECAUSE UNDER THE FIRST
AMENDMENT, POLITICAL SPEECH
IS THE KIND OF SPEECH THAT IS
AT ITS HIGHEST APEX IN TERMS
OF PROTECTION.
THAT IDEA THAT YOU CAN SPEAK
OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
AND THIS IS HIS ARGUMENT
THAT THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OUT
TO GET HIM AND THAT THESE
WITNESSES ARE AGAINST HIM,
ETC..
AND WE ARE IN MIDST OF AN
ELECTION YEAR.
SO I THINK THE COURT TO BE
CAREFUL ABOUT CHILLING
HIS SPEECH, MAKING HIM UNABLE
TO ACTUALLY HAVE A VOICE IN THE
PUBLIC SQUARE AT THE SAME TIME,
THE SANCTITY AND THE LEGITIMACY
,THE WHOLE PROCESS AND THE
SAFETY, FRANKLY, OF THE
PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE ABSOLUTELY
AS WELL.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST JUDGE,
NOT ONLY ANOTHER JUDGE, ERDOGAN
IN NEW YORK, BUT THE D.C.
CIRCUIT HAS ALREADY GRAPPLED
WITH THIS.
IT’S A BIG ISSUE, FRANKLY,
IN PART BECAUSE NO BODY HAS
BEEN IN DONALD TRUMP’S
POSITION.
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A FORMER
PRESIDENT THAT’S BEEN INDICTED
AND LOOPED INTO THE CRIMINAL
AND CIVIL JUSTICE SYSTEM THIS
WAY.
AND WE’VE NEVER HAD A PUBLIC
FIGURE WITH WHO SO BRAZENLY
IS WILLING TO FLOUT THE RULE
OF LAW.
IS TO ATTACK THESE PEOPLE AND
TO USE POTENTIALLY HIS HIS
FOLLOWERS TO SUPPORT HIM
POLITICALLY AND INFLUENCE
THE JUDGES JUDICIAL SYSTEM.
SO IT’S REALLY A HISTORIC
MOMENT TO SORT OF SEE HOW THIS
PROCESS PLAYS OUT.
BUT I THINK JUDGE MERCHAN
UNDERSTANDS AT THE END OF THE
DAY, THIS TRIAL NEEDS TO GO
FORWARD AND THE PEOPLE INVOLVED
NEED TO FEEL SECURE IN THE
PROCESS.
>> JOHN TRUMP IS ALREADY
FUNDRAISING OFF THIS SCHEDULED
CONTEMPT HEARING.
HE SENT AN EMAIL TO SUPPORTERS
SAYING HAUL IS ABOUT TO BREAK
LOOSE IN 24 HOURS AND SAYING
THAT HE COULD BE THROWN IN JAIL
AT.
THAT VERY MOMENT, KIM SAYING
THAT’S UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN,
BUT TALK ABOUT THE MESSAGING
HERE.
WHAT’S THE STRATEGY FOR TEAM
TRUMP WHEN HE’S STUCK IN COURT
AND AS A RESULT, CAN’T BE
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL?
>> EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID,
THEY’RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
TO PUMP UP THE VOLUME, BUILD UP
THE DRAMA.
THIS IS WHAT DONALD TRUMP NEEDS
TO DO, BECAUSE AT THE END
OF THE DAY, THIS IS HE
IS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE
WITH HIS SUPPORTERS.
I MEAN, THE NAME OF THIS GAME
IN 16 WAS BUILD A WALL.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO FIX
THE ECONOMY, DO THIS.
2024 CAMPAIGN IS ALL ABOUT I’M
VICTIM.
THEY’RE OUT TO GET ME.
I’M STANDING IN THEIR WAY.
THEY WANT TO GET TO USE
ANYTHING THAT DONALD TRUMP CAN
DO TO REALLY HONE IN TO
THAT ARGUMENT.
DIANE IS GOING TO BE KEY
RIGHT NOW.
ANY WAY TO SAY THAT YOU I WISH
I WAS THERE WITH YOU, BUT I
CAN’T BE THERE WITH YOU NOW
IN THAT RESPECT.
TRUE, BECAUSE THIS IS A
CRIMINAL TRIAL.
THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS GONE
THROUGH PREVIOUSLY OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
HE CANNOT LEAVE THESE
PROCEEDINGS.
I MEAN, LOOK, LOOK WHAT THE
JUDGE HAS SAID SO FAR.
RIGHT.
CAN’T GO TO THE SUPREME COURT
ON THURSDAY, MAYBE CAN’T GO
TO HIS SON’S HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATION.
WE HAVEN’T GOTTEN A FIRM RULING
ON THAT YET.
BUT IT JUST SHOWS YET AGAIN,
THIS IS SO MUCH OUT OF DONALD
TRUMP’S HANDS.
AND THE MORE THAT HE CAN LEAN
INTO THAT AS A CAMPAIGN
STRATEGY, THEY BELIEVE.
AND SO FAR, LOOK, IT’S — IT’S
BEEN PROVEN.
IT IS WORKING HIM NOW, ERIN.
>> FORMER "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
PUBLISHER DAVID STARTED
TESTIFYING YESTERDAY.
HE’S THE PROSECUTION’S FIRST
WITNESS.
AND PROSECUTORS SAY THAT HE
ENGAGED IN A CONSPIRACY
WITH TRUMP AND TRUMP’S FORMER
ATTORNEY, MICHAEL COHEN,
TO HELP INFLUENCE ELECTION
BY KILLING NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP.
SO WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HEAR
WHEN HE TAKES THE STAND TODAY,
PROSECUTORS SAID DAVID PECKER
AND THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
AS THE EYES AND EARS OF THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN 2016.
AND SO THAT’S WHAT THE JURY
IS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT TODAY.
PROSECUTE OR BELIEVE PECKER
IS KEY TO UNDERSTANDING TRUMP’S
MOTIVATION FOR PAYING OFF
STORMY DANIELS TO SUPPRESS
A DAMAGING STORY ABOUT HIM
TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM
THE VOTERS.
AND PECKER HAS ALREADY
TESTIFIED ABOUT WHAT CALLED THE
ENQUIRER’S CHECKBOOK JOURNALISM
THAT PROSECUTORS WAS PUT TO USE
BY BUYING AND BURYING DAMAGING
STORIES ABOUT TRUMP.
THEY CALLED IT CATCH AND KILL.
AND PROSECUTORS SAY IT WAS PART
OF THIS SCHEME TO KEEP VOTERS
IN THE DARK.
ELECTION FRAUD, PURE AND SIMPLE
.
THEY SAID, EVEN AS THE DEFENSE
SAID, THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW,
THERE’S NO CRIME HERE AND THAT
TRUMP IS INNOCENT.
BUT IT’S THIS TRIUMVIRATE
PECKER TRUMP AND COHEN
THAT TOGETHER SCHEMED TO THESE
VOTERS AWAY FROM DAMAGING
INFORMATION ABOUT TRUMP
THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE WANTED
TO FACTOR INTO THEIR VOTE.
THE DEFENSE IS NOT GOING TO GET
TO CROSS-EXAMINE HIM FOR FOR
A BIT, BUT YOU CAN IMAGINE
THAT THEY WILL TRY TO SUGGEST
THAT PECKER WAS ONLY OUT
TO SELL MAGAZINES, NOT
INFLUENCE AN ELECTION.
>> AGAIN, TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS
HAVE SAID THAT HE WANTED
TO KILL THESE STORIES FOR
THE SAKE OF HIS FAMILY.
SO HOW BIG OF A HURDLE.
WILL IT BE FOR THE PROSECUTION
TO PROVE THAT THIS WAS
ALL AIMED INFLUENCING AN
ELECTION AND NOT JUST A MAN
WHO DIDN’T WANT HIS AND KIDS
TO HEAR STORIES ABOUT HIS
ALLEGED AFFAIRS?
>> WELL, THE OTHER TIME THIS
THEORY HAS COME UP WITH, WHICH
WAS WITH JOHN YEARS AGO, AND IN
THAT INSTANCE, YOU KNOW,
HIS WIFE WAS DYING CANCER
AND HE HAD FATHERED A CHILD.
AND THAT CASE ULTIMATELY
SUCCESSFUL FOR A NUMBER
OF REASONS.
THIS IS HARDER, I THINK DONALD
TRUMP, BECAUSE OF THE TIMING
OF IT, RIGHT AFTER THE ACCESS
HOLLYWOOD TAPE DAYS BEFORE THIS
ELECTION, WHEN THE RNC
REPORTEDLY WAS MAKING NOISES
ABOUT MAYBE DROPPING HIM OR
AND SO SO DAVID PACKER’S
TESTIMONY IS IMPORTANT FOR
TWO REASONS.
ONE IS TO MOVE DONALD TRUMP IN
TO SCHEME, THE IDEA BEING HE
KNEW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT AND
AND THAT HE HAD THE INTENTION
OF THWARTING THE ELECTION OR
KEEPING THIS INFORMATION QUIET.
THE SECOND DEFENSE IS THAT NONE
OF THIS REALLY MATTERS.
AND I THINK THAT GETS TO YOUR
QUESTION, DIANE.
IF IT DOESN’T MATTER, WHY DID
HE WHY DIDN’T HE JUST PUT IT
ON THE BOOKS AS A PAYOFF
TO STORMY DANIELS?
IF IT’S ALL ENTIRELY,
IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGH.
I THINK KNOWING DONALD TRUMP,
THESE JURORS DO KNOW DONALD
TRUMP TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT
HE WAS REALLY CONCERNED
ABOUT PROTECTING MELANIA RATHER
THAN HIS OWN
POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
I THINK THAT’S.
>> ALL RIGHT.
AARON KATERSKY JOHN SANTUCCI,

HI, SELINA.
HEY, GOOD MORNING, DIANE.
IN JUST A FEW HOURS, THE SENATE
WILL START VOTING ON THAT
MASSIVE $95 BILLION AID PACKAGE
TO UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TAIWAN.
AND FOR AMERICA’S ALLIES, THIS
COULD NOT COME FAST ENOUGH.
$60 BILLION IS GOING
TO UKRAINE.
THEY’VE BEEN RUNNING OUT
OF AMMUNITION.
SO THIS WOULD RESUPPLY
THEIR DEFENSES AND COULD HELP
SLOW DOWN RUSSIA’S.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SPOKE
TO UKRAINIAN
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY YESTERDAY,
VOWING TO SIGN THIS INTO LAW

THE APP WOULD BE BANNED IN THE
US IF ITS CHINESE PARENT
COMPANY DOESN’T SELL THE APP

BUT THIS COULD BE A VERY
COMPLICATED PROCESS.
TIK TOCK IS GOING TO FIGHT THIS
IN THE COURTS AND THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT COULD BLOCK ANY
SALE.
AND EVEN IF IT GOT TO THAT
POINT WHERE IT WERE BANNED,
IT’S NOT JUST GOING
TO DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR PHONE.
INSTEAD, IT COULD DIE A SLOW
DEATH OR IT’S BANNED FROM
THE APP STORES.

CASE AGAINST FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE
WITH UPDATES FROM INSIDE
THE COURTROOM THROUGHOUT
THE DAY.
BUT FIRST, LET’S TAKE A LOOK
AT SOME OF THE DAY’S OTHER
TOP STORIES.
>> A JUDGE IN MOSCOW, IDAHO,
IS ALLOWING BRIAN COBURG,
HIS DEFENSE TEAM, TO CONTINUE
THEIR CONTROVERSIAL
OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS,
IS ACCUSED OF STABBING COLLEGE
STUDENTS TO DEATH IN AN OFF
CAMPUS HOME IN NOVEMBER
OF 2022.
THE RULING ALLOWS AN OUTSIDE
CONSULTING COMPANY TO CALL
POTENTIAL JURORS ASKING
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CASE.
THE PROSECUTION SAYS THOSE
QUESTIONS COULD PREJUDICE
THE LOCAL JURY POOL.
THE MAN CHARGED IN CONNECTION
WITH THE MURDER OF TUPAC SHAKUR
IS EXPECTED IN COURT TODAY.
DUANE KATIE DAVIS IS SCHEDULED
TO APPEAR FRONT OF A JUDGE FOR
A STATUS CHECK AHEAD OF HIS
MURDER TRIAL IN NOVEMBER DAVIS
.
STILL HASN’T MADE THE $750,000
BAIL SET BY THE JUDGE AT
HIS HEARING.
LAST HEARING THAT IS,
HIS ATTORNEYS SAID PEOPLE
WHO WANTED TO PUT UP FUNDS FOR
DAVIS, HIS RELEASE, THEY DIDN’T
WANT TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE
SOURCE OF THAT MONEY.
AND IT’S A ROYAL BIRTHDAY.
PRINCE LOUIS TURNS TODAY.
>> KENSINGTON PALACE JUST
RELEASED THIS PHOTO SAYING IT
WAS PHOTOGRAPHED HIS MOTHER,
PRINCESS KATE, AT THEIR HOME
IN WINDSOR.
WE’RE TOLD IT WAS TAKEN
THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS.
THE PALACE HAS RELEASED A PHOTO
OF THE PRINCE EVERY ON HIS
BIRTHDAY.
AND THIS YEAR IT COMES AS THE
PRINCESS OF WALES IS BEING
TREATED FOR CANCER.
ROYAL SOURCES SAY
THEY’RE CELEBRATING
HIS BIRTHDAY PRIVATELY AS A
FAMILY AND A CALIFORNIA FAMILY
IS SHARING SOME TERRIFYING
MOMENTS AFTER WATCHING THEIR
BOUNCE HOUSE TAKE FLIGHT.
THE CHILDREN’S ATTRACTION
APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUGHT.
A DUST DEVIL.
THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED,
BUT NOW ARE WARNING PARENTS
TO READ SHOP AS THE DETAILS
SNAP THE WARNING TO PARENTS.
A FUN AFTERNOON ON A BOUNCE
HOUSE SUDDENLY TURNS TERRIFYING
.
>> THIS DUST DEVIL LIVING
IN CALIFORNIA, FAMILIES JUMPER
RELAXING IN THE POOL NEXT,
YOU KNOW, A LITTLE DUST DEVIL
DIRT THAT WILL COME BY AND
SWEPT OUR TRAMPOLINE AND OUR
JUMPER AWAY.
>> WE WANT JUST IT LOOKS LIKE
GRABBING THE INFLATABLE JUMPER
FLEW UP LIKE 100 FEET AND JUST
DIDN’T SEEM LIKE SQUARE.
AND IT LANDED ON THE NEIGHBOR’S
HOUSE.
THE FAMILY RELIEVED NO ONE WAS
INJURED.
>> IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, VERY
SCARY.
THE TWISTER LIKE WIND ALSO
FLIPPING THEIR TRAMPOLINE,
THEIR TRUCK IT FROM ROLLING
FURTHER, CRACKED MY WINDSHIELD,
MY WE HAVE SEEN BOUNCE HOUSES
ON THE MOVE BEFORE.
>> LOOKS LIKE A BOUNCY
HOUSE FLIPPED OVER IN 20 22.
THIS INFLATABLE SLIDE TIPPING
IN LONG ISLAND HOSPITALIZING.
>> SEVERAL CHILDREN WIND
DRAGGING THIS BOUNCE HOUSE MORE
THAN 240 FEET IN 2019 AND IN
2015, THIS ONE FLUNG WITH THREE
CHILDREN INSIDE.
LUCKILY, ALL SURVIVED.
A UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA STUDY
TRACKING WIND RELATED BOUNCE
HOUSE INCIDENTS FROM 2000
TO 2021, SAYING THEY ACCOUNTED
FOR NEARLY 500 INJURIES AND AT
LEAST 28 DEATHS.
>> THE INJURIES CAN BE VARIED,
BUT YOU CAN HAVE MORE SEVERE
INJURIES BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH
THE BOUNCE HOUSES LOOK CUTE
AND CUDDLY, IF THEY’RE FLYING
IN THE AIR AND THEY HIT YOU,
YOU CAN SUFFER A CONCUSSION OR
WORSE.
>> SO THIS BOUNCE HOUSE IS FROM
THE ONES YOU JUST SAW.
WE’RE JUST SHOWING THIS TO YOU
AS AN EXAMPLE.
BUT THE BIG THING IS YOU WANT
TO ANCHOR THESE GUYS DOWN.
I MEAN, THIS RIGHT HERE,
YOU CAN SEE THE STAKES HERE.
YOU WANT TO MAKE.
THEY’RE ALL THE WAY DEEP IN THE
GROUND.
YOU CAN ADDITIONALLY
USE SANDBAGS AND OF COURSE,
MAKE SURE YOU’RE RENTING FROM
A GOOD SOURCE.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN
ADULT NEARBY.
BUT THE BIG THING IS IF
THE WINDS ARE OVER 15 MILES PER
HOUR, YOU DON’T WANT TO GET
IN ONE OF THESE.
IT IS JUST NOT SAFE.
DIANE, GOOD TO KNOW.
ZOHREEN SHAH THANK YOU.
>> COMING UP, A NEW YORK
JUDGE HOLD FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN CONTEMPT
OF COURT.
A GAG ORDER HEARING BEGINS
AT 930 EASTERN.
WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE HERE
ON ABC NEWS LIVE AS WE SEE
THE FORMER PRESIDENT ABOUT
TO ENTER THE COURTROOM ONCE
AGAIN.
LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY, FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THERE
IN COURT ABOUT TO ENTER DAY
TWO OF THIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL
AS TESTIMONY RESUMES AGAIN.
AND FIRST, THEY WILL HAVE THIS
GAG ORDER HEARING.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT IS ABOUT TO ADDRESS
THE CAMERAS.
>> LET’S LISTEN.
PENNSYLVANIA.
AND WE HOPE THE PEOPLE GET OUT
THERE.
IT’S IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO LET
HIM KNOW THAT WE’RE COMING
ON NOVEMBER 5TH.
WE’RE COMING BIG TODAY.
PRELIMINARY, BUT STILL, IT’S A
VERY IMPORTANT DAY.
MAYBE THEY’LL THINK ALSO
ABOUT THE VERY GOOD PERSON
WHO’S RUNNING FOR THE SENATE
IN PENNSYLVANIA, DAVID WARNER.
>> AND HE’S DOING THE JOB,
WORKING VERY HARD, A SUCCESSFUL
MAN.
WHAT’S THAT?
IS SUCCESS TO THE COUNTRY.
VERY GOOD.
SENATORS.
HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE A
NINE DAY GET OUT THERE,
GO TODAY.
SO EVENTUALLY HE GET OUT OF THE
WHAT’S GOING ON AT THE COUNTY
LEVEL.
TWO COUNTIES, COLUMBIA, NYU,
WHICH IS A DISGRACE.
AND IT’S A IT’S REALLY IS THE
WRONG SIGNAL IT’S GOT THE WRONG
WORD IS NOW IS BACK AND IT’S
A MESS AND THIS IS WHERE WE
HAVE TO MAKE IT SO MUCH
THAT THEY’RE TRYING TO GIVE HIM
A PASS.
WHAT’S GOING ON IS A DISGRACE
TO OUR COUNTRY.
AND IT’S ALL ABOUT THIS SCHOOL
THAT EVERYBODY HE’S GOT NO
MESSAGE, HE’S GOT NO COMPASSION
.
THIS TO KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING.
HE CAN’T PUT TWO SENTENCES
TOGETHER, FRANKLY, IS THE WORST
PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
AND AGAIN, WHAT’S GOING ON HERE
IS A DISGRACE.
THAT’S INTERESTING.
OUTSIDE FOR A GREAT
AMERICAN SPEAKER THAT WANT
TO COME DOWN AND THEY WANT
TO PROTEST AT THE BORDER
AND THEN WE’RE BROADCASTING.
SO WE HAVE NO POLICE PRESENCE
HERE THAT ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN.
BUT WHAT YOU GET NEAR
IS BORDERS AND YOU HAVE NOBODY
EVER GONNA BRING IN A VERY
RADICAL PEACE OF TO
THE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
DOWN AND A SHAME.
BUT IT ALL STARTS WITH JOE
BIDEN AND THE SIGNALS HE PUTS
OUT ARE SO BAD AND I COULD
GIVE YOU A MIDDLE GROUND IF
ISRAEL, THAT’S FOR SURE.
AND HE’S STILL A FRIEND OF THE
ARAB WORLD.
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT
HE SAID, HE STILL BROTHERS
HIS YOU KNOW, WHAT THEY DO
IS THEY DON’T WANT TO WANT
TO TAKE LIKE THE MIDDLE GROUND.
AND OFTENTIMES IT DOESN’T WORK.
BUT IT’S CERTAINLY NOT WORKING
IN HERE.
BUT WHAT HE’S DONE TO ISRAEL
ABANDONED THEM AND HE’S TRYING
TO BE AS NICE AS HE CAN TO THE
OTHER SIDE.
QUALITY OF WORK.
BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT WE NEED
BECAUSE THEY GET HIM AND HE’S
AN INCOMPETENT MAN.
A PEACE WILL NEVER HAPPEN
WITH A GUY LIKE THIS.
THEY VERY OFTEN THE FACT
IS THAT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP OUTSIDE OF NEW
YORK CITY COURTROOM, IF HE GETS
READY TO HEAD INTO DAY TWO OF
TESTIMONY OF HIS CRIMINAL HUSH
MONEY TRIAL BEFORE TESTIMONY
GETS UNDERWAY, THEY WILL HAVE A
GAG, A GAG ORDER HEARING
A HEARING ABOUT ALLEGED
VIOLATIONS OF A LIMITED GAG
ORDER.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD THE FORMER
PRESIDENT IN CONTEMPT.
I WANT TO BRING IN OUR
ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL
JOHN SANTUCCI AND ABC AND LEGAL
CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR
MORE.
>> JOHN, IT WAS INTERESTING
TO HEAR THE PRESIDENT SPEAKING
TODAY OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM.
YEAH IT SOUNDED A LOT MORE LIKE
A CAMPAIGN SPEECH THAN PREVIOUS
TIMES IN HIS ADDRESS.
THE CAMERAS IN A TOTAL CAMPAIGN
SPEECH, ME TALKING ABOUT A
PENNSYLVANIA U.S. SENATE
CANDIDATE HE’S ENDORSED TALKING
ABOUT THE PROTESTS UP
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
I MEAN, THIS WAS DONALD
TRUMP ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL,
EXCEPT HE WASN’T
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
IT WAS ON THE 15TH FLOOR,
MANHATTAN COURTHOUSE.
I MEAN, THIS IS WHERE THIS IS A
REALLY TOUGH THING FOR DONALD
TRUMP, RIGHT?
WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS,
THAT THE REALITY IS, IS THOUGH,
HE SHOULD BE CAMPAIGNING.
HE CAN’T CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW.
AND THESE SPEECHES ARE THE BEST
HE’S GOING TO GET FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF WEEKS.
IT’S INTERESTING, THOUGH,
THE GENERAL COMMENTS HE MADE
ABOUT THE CASE.
RIGHT.
NOTHING REALLY VIOLATING
THE GAG ORDER BECAUSE THAT’S
EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE ENTERING
RIGHT NOW.
NO, THE MORNING IS NOT GOING
TO BE TESTIMONY FROM
DAVID PECKER YET.
IT’S GOING TO BE THIS HEARING
ABOUT THE VIOLATIONS, THE GAG
ORDER.
SO IN PART, YOU HAVE TO WONDER
IF DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM
OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS SAID,
LOOK, WE’RE GOING INTO COURT
TODAY FOCUSING ON VIOLATIONS
OF GAG ORDER, THINGS YOU SAY,
THINGS YOU POST.
CAN YOU PLEASE REIN IT IN NOW,
HAVING TALKED TO MANY SENIOR
ADVISERS THAT HAVE COME AND GO
AROUND DONALD TRUMP’S ORBIT
OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, I CAN
TELL YOU THE FOLLOWING.
THEY ALL SAID THE SAME THING.
IT’S GOOD FOR A LITTLE BIT.
HE CAN’T STICK WITH IT.
SO EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SEEM
TO BE ON BEST BEHAVIOR OR
THE BEST, YOU’RE GOING TO GET
OUT OF DONALD TRUMP TODAY.
LET’S SEE HOW LONG IT LASTS.
BRIAN THE THE PRESIDENT HAS
REPEATEDLY TALKED THE THE
PLAYERS IN THIS CASE.
RIGHT.
YESTERDAY WE HEARD HIM TALKING
ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN
A LITTLE BIT.
>> MICHAEL COHEN IS INCLUDING
IN THE GAG ORDER ONE OF
PEOPLE WHO HE’S ACCUSED
IN THESE ALLEGED GAG ORDER
VIOLATIONS WE’RE ABOUT TO HEAR
ABOUT IN THIS HEARING.
SO HOW CAREFUL DOES HE HAVE
TO BE ABOUT WHAT SAYS NOW
THAT THIS TRIAL IS UNDERWAY?
>> PROBABLY MUCH MORE THAN
HE’S BEEN IN THE PAST, BECAUSE
PRIOR TO A JURY BEING SELECTED
AND THAT WAS JUST AN ISSUE
OF VIOLATING A POTENTIALLY
VIOLATING A JUDGE’S GAG ORDER.
NOW, THE ISSUE BECOMES, IS HE
INFLUENCING THE JURY IN ONE WAY
OR ANOTHER?
ANOTHER ONE IS PROSPECTIVELY,
IS HE MAYBE MAKING IT SO
THAT WITNESSES DON’T WANT
TO TAKE THE STAND AND MAYBE
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE
HE’S CREATING FALSITY
THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL.
AND SO THERE IS THERE’S OTHER
ISSUES OTHER THAN JUST THEM
JUST VIOLATING THE GAG ORDER
THAT HE COULD GET BUMP INTO.
RIGHT NOW, WE’RE JUST TALKING
ABOUT $1,000 A FINE POTENTIAL
FOR EACH ONE THAT COUNTS.
BUT PAST IT COULD BE MORE.
>> WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING
TO HEAR FROM PROSECUTORS TODAY
AS THEY TRY TO MAKE THIS
ARGUMENT THAT THE JUDGE SHOULD
NOT JUST OVERLOOK THIS AND THAT
HE SHOULD SEE THESE SOCIAL
MEDIA POSTS AS CONTEMPT
VIOLATIONS AND HOLD
TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE?
>> IT’S GOING TO BE A VERY
COOKIE CUTTER ARGUMENT.
IT’S GOING TO BE HERE’S THE GAG
ORDER.
HERE’S WHO HE’S NOT SUPPOSED
TO SPEAK ABOUT.
HERE ARE THE POSTS THAT WE PUT
FORWARD.
I THINK MORE OF THE THE
LARGE PART OF THIS ARGUMENT
IS GOING TO BE FROM
THE DEFENSE.
WE’RE GOING TO TRY TO ARGUE,
SAY, OKAY, THIS IS A SOCIAL
MEDIA POST THROUGH DONALD
TRUMP’S TRUE SOCIAL OR
WHATEVER SOCIAL MEDIA POST
THAT HE PUTS ON.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT’S HIM
THAT POSTED IT RATHER THAN
ONE OF HIS SUBORDINATES OR
SOMEONE ELSE?
HOW HE’S ACTUALLY SAYING
THAT THIS IS GOING AGAINST
THE GAG ORDER WHEN IT’S A
POLITICAL CONVERSATION AND NOT
ONE GEARED TOWARDS THE TRIAL
TRYING TO SPLIT THE HAIRS THERE
THINK IS WHERE WE’RE REALLY
GOING TO GET THE LION’S SHARE
OF THIS GAG ORDER ARGUMENT.
BUT FOR THE PROSECUTION
IT’S VERY CUT AND DRY ORDER
VIOLATION, THOUSAND DOLLARS.
SO HOW HOW COMPELLING IS THAT
ARGUMENT GIVEN HE IS
A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR,
THE TRUMP’S DEFENSE TO SAY,
AS THEY HAVE, THAT LISTEN,
HE’S JUST DEFENDING HIMSELF
AGAINST ACCUSATIONS BEING MADE
AGAINST HIM.
IT’S POLITICAL SPEECH.
HE’S ENTITLED DO THAT AS
A CANDIDATE.
>> SO I’M TRYING TO PUT MY JOHN
SANTUCCI HAT ON AND TRY TO TALK
TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY
BEEN IN COURT.
SO I’M TALKING TO JUDGES
WHO KNOW JUDGE MERCHAN
I’M TALKING TO OTHER ATTORNEYS
WHO HAVE COME BEFORE HIM.
AND THIS IS THE ADVICE
THAT I’VE GOTTEN.
WE ALL THOUGHT THAT THIS JURY
SELECTION WAS GOING TO TAKE
TWO WEEKS, BUT JUDGE MERCHAN
IS IS ABOUT THAT BUSINESS.
HE’S NOT MESSING AROUND.
SO YOU CAN EXPECT THAT THOSE
ARGUMENTS OF THIS IS POLITICAL
SPEECH.
I KIND OF SPLIT THE HAIR KIND
ARGUMENT.
PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME LIKE
THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
HE’S GOT TO LOOK AT THE ORDER
HE’S GOING TO LOOK AT THE POST
AND SAY, YOU ARE CLEARLY
TALKING ABOUT OF THE WITNESSES
I TOLD YOU NOT TO HEAR
IS YOU’RE FINE.
>> I HAVE A JUST A QUESTION FOR
YOU ACTUALLY FOLLOWING UP
ON THAT, IF I CAN, BECAUSE
I THINK WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS
REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE
WE’VE SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN
DONALD TRUMP TRY TO LEAN INTO
THIS ARGUMENT OF, YOU KNOW,
YEARS AGO WHEN THERE WAS
COMMENTS HE FIRST POSTED
ON TWITTER, IT WAS THE INTERN
THAT DID IT RIGHT.
AS YOU SAW FROM ABC’S REPORTING
,DONALD TRUMP TODAY IN THE
WHITE HOUSE ON JANUARY 6, WE
LEARNED THAT, YOU KNOW, HE WAS
PASSING THE BOOK ON TO CERTAIN
PEOPLE WHO WERE POSTING
THE RIGHT THING THAT WAS NOT
HELPFUL TO HIS SUPPORTERS.
I GUESS MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS
IF THE DEFENSE TEAM STEPS UP
AND SAYS, WELL, NOT ALL OF
THESE POSTS WERE MADE BY DONALD
TRUMP.
RIGHT.
HE DICTATED THEM.
THEY WERE GENERALLY THOUGHT
TO BE.
NO, DONALD TRUMP HAS A HABIT
OF DOING LIKE WE SAW IN THE
NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERALS
CASE, WHERE THE JUDGE JUST
PULLED DONALD TRUMP UP TO THE
STAND BECAUSE OF VIOLATING
THE GAG ORDER.
COULD THAT HAPPEN HERE?
COULD YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT
ABOUT THIS JUDGE NOT MESSING
AROUND, COULD HE JUST SAY,
OKAY, YOU MADE ARGUMENT, GET UP
HERE.
>> IT IS WITHIN THE REALM
OF POSSIBILITY.
IT’S A HEARING WHERE BOTH SIDES
WILL MAKE ARGUMENTS.
BUT THE JUDGE CAN ALSO ASK FOR
EVIDENCE ON OWN THAT BEING
ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU’RE SAYING THAT, FOR
EXAMPLE, THIS IS NOT
A VIOLATION, THE GAG ORDER,
BECAUSE SOMEONE IN MY CAMP
REPOST IT, I THINK THAT’S
ANOTHER THAT’S FIVE OF THE OF
THE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS
ARE REPOSTS.
SO THIS IS JUST A REPOST.
THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS
AND SOMEONE ELSE JUST CLICK
THE BUTTON REPOST IT.
I THINK IT’S AS EASY AS SAYING
OKAY, WHO REPOSTING IS A DONALD
TRUMP?
WAS THERE ANY WORDS ATTACHED
TO IT?
WHAT WAS HIS INTENT?
AND YOU COULD JUST SAY EVEN
THE JUDGE SAID, COME UP HERE.
THIS IS THE QUESTION.
>> INTERESTING.
NOW, WE ALSO HEARD, AS WE JUST
DID, THE PRESIDENT, FORMER
PRESIDENT OFTEN COMMENTS
ABOUT THIS CASE OUTSIDE
THE COURTROOM BEFORE HE GOES
IN AND AFTER HE LEAVES.
UP UNTIL NOW HE’S NOT GOTTEN
INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE IN TERMS
OF WHAT HE SAYS AND TODAY’S
HEARING IS ALL ABOUT SOCIAL
MEDIA POSTS.
BUT, BRIAN, AS THEY START TO
COMB THROUGH THOSE COMMENTS
A LITTLE BIT MORE CAREFULLY,
HOW VULNERABLE IS HE THERE?
>> COMPLETELY.
AND THE FACT THAT WE’RE
RECORDING IT, WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT IT.
I WOULD BET MY BOTTOM DOLLAR
THAT THERE’S SOMEONE IN THE
STAFF OUT THERE LISTENING
AS WELL.
I’M SURE THE JUDGE COULD JUST
TELL THE COURT, JUST WHENEVER
HE WALKS OUT THERE, JUST GO OUT
THERE AND LISTEN AND THAT
PERSON CAN BE A POTENTIAL
WITNESS.
ANY OF THE COURT OFFICERS OR
PEACE OFFICERS IN THE HALLWAYS
CAN ALSO BE POTENTIAL
WITNESSES.
TO JOHN’S POINT, THEY CAN JUST
CALL UP AND SAY, OKAY, I SAW IT
ON ABC.
TALKING OUTSIDE HERE IS A COURT
OFFICER WHO WAS OUT THERE
AND HEARD IT, TOO.
THEY SAID HE SAID THIS, I HAVE
VIDEO OF CONTEMPT OF COURT.
>> THAT’S ANOTHER THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
TO JOHN’S POINT, HE CANNOT
BE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
RIGHT NOW.
HE HAS TO BE THERE IN COURT.
AND SOME OF THESE SPEECHES,
LIKE THE ONE WE JUST HEARD,
SOUND A LOT MORE LIKE
POLITICAL SPEECH THAN HIM
TALKING ABOUT JUST A COURT
CASE.
SO COULD THEY DEFEND HIM THERE
AND SAY THIS TO HIS
POLITICAL SPEECH BECAUSE THIS
TRIAL IS KEEPING HIM FROM
BEING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WHERE
HE OTHERWISE WOULD BE.
>> AND THAT’S THIS IS WHY THIS
IS MY SECOND SEE WHEN I GET
ANOTHER TRIAL BECAUSE OF THAT.
THAT’S THE FINE LINE OF SAYING
THIS IS POLITICAL SPEECH.
THIS IS NOT AGAINST OR GAG
ORDER, BECAUSE HE’S ALLOWED
TO MAKE POLITICAL SPEECHES,
BECAUSE HE IS OFF THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL.
SO IF HE HIS ARGUMENT IS, LET’S
SAY MICHAEL COHEN TESTIFIES
AND MICHAEL COHEN TESTIFIES
IN A WAY THAT HE BELIEVES
IS NOT CREDIBLE AND HE SAYS,
HEY, I’M BECAUSE THIS PERSON
IS LYING ABOUT MY MY BUSINESS
RECORDS AND THIS PERSON
IS LYING ABOUT THESE CHARGES,
I SHOULD BE HERE, HERE AND HERE
.
THAT THEORETICALLY COULD
BE POLITICAL SPEECH AND NO
LONGER A VIOLATION.
>> THE GAG ORDER.
JOHN, HOW ELSE IS THE CAMPAIGN
TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS HURDLE
THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT FOR
THE NEXT THREE WEEKS AS FAR
AS WE CAN TELL, WILL NOT BE ON
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL BECAUSE
HE HAS TO BE IN COURT EVERY
DAY.
>> THEY’RE DOING THE BEST
POSSIBLY CAN.
I MEAN, THEY TRIED TO ATTACK
HIS WEEKEND WEATHER REALLY
SCREWED THAT UP.
HE TRIED TO MAKE SEVERAL STOPS
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
IT JUST COULDN’T HAPPEN AGAIN
BECAUSE OF MOTHER NATURE.
YOU KNOW, DURING THE WEEK
THEY’RE HAVING HIM DO
MORE FUNDRAISING CALLS, HAVING
PEOPLE COME IN TO THE CITY.
YOU’LL RECALL LAST WEDNESDAY,
THEY HAD THE PRESIDENT
OF POLAND AND HAVE DINNER
WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW, THE IDEA THAT HE
STILL IS ENGAGING DIFFERENT
LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD.
RIGHT.
TO SHOW THAT HE’S, YOU KNOW,
LEANING INTO FOREIGN POLICY,
LEANING INTO THE ISSUES
THAT MATTER TO HIM AND HIS
BASE.
I IT’S A STRUGGLE.
IT’S A REAL STRUGGLE FOR
TRUMP RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE TO NOT
GET OUT THERE, TO NOT FEEL
CONNECTED AND, YOU KNOW,
OBVIOUSLY MANY PEOPLE ARE
WATCHING THE MINUTES MINUTE
COVERAGE OF THIS, BUT IT’S NOT
NECESSARILY THE PEOPLE THAT HE
NEEDS.
RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT LIKE,
YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT LIKE
CYBER MONDAY A SENSE.
RIGHT.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SITTING
IN THEIR OFFICES AND ARE HAVING
THIS UP IN REAL TIME, YOU KNOW,
SCANNING FOR THE LATEST DEALS.
THEY’RE COMING IN AND OUT OF IT
RIGHT.
NOT CONSISTENTLY WATCHING EVERY
SECOND OF THIS.
AND IN PART BECAUSE SO MUCH
OF THIS IS NOT ON TELEVISION.
>> SO TO REALLY PULL IN THE
SUPPORT OR PULL IN THE VIEWER,
IT’S REALLY COMPLICATED FOR
THEM.
>> HENCE, YOU YOU MENTIONED
EARLIER THE EMAIL BLAST, RIGHT.
TRYING TO FIND WAYS FOR
PEOPLE TO STAY ENGAGED IN THIS
AND ALSO HAVE SURROGATES OUT
THERE ON HIS BEHALF.
YOU KNOW, LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID
RECENTLY WITH TAKEOVER OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE,
THE RNC INSTALLING HIS DAUGHTER
IN LAW.
AND THERE NOT BY COINCIDENCE,
IT WAS ON PURPOSE HAVING
A STRONGER SPOKESMAN AND A
STRONGER TEAM THAT COULD
GET OUT THERE AND CONNECT
WITH VOTERS.
DO EVENTS BE OUT THERE?
YOU’VE GOT TO IMAGINE, TOO,
AS WE GET FURTHER INTO YEAR,
THE FAMILIES GOING TO START
LEANING IN IN SOME WAY.
OBVIOUSLY, HIS SON, TRUMP JR
IS A VERY FAVORITE SUPPORTER
OF HIS FATHER, HAS BEEN OUT
THERE REPEATEDLY
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
I DO THINK AS THIS CONTINUES
THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO
THAT AND EVENTUALLY ONE OF
THE CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW, DIANE, IS TO FIND
A WAY TO CLOSE OR GET TO
A RUNNING MATE.
IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY
OR TOMORROW.
THE TIMELINE, AS I UNDERSTAND
IT, IT MOVED CLOSER INTO
THE JUNE AREA, BUT IT SPEAKS
VOLUMES TO THE FACT THAT DONALD
TRUMP IS TIED UP WITH OTHER
THINGS RIGHT NOW.
BRIAN WANTS THIS HEARING
IS OVER ABOUT THE GAG ORDER
VIOLATIONS AND WE GET BACK
TO THE HEART OF THE HUSH MONEY
TRIAL ITSELF.
THE FORMER "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
PUBLISHER, DAVID PECKER.
THE PROSECUTION’S FIRST
WITNESS, IS BACK ON THE STAND.
HE’S A LONGTIME FRIEND
OF DONALD TRUMP’S.
AND THE PROSECUTION IS SAYING
THAT HE AND MICHAEL COHEN WERE
ENGAGED ALONG WITH TRUMP
IN THIS SCHEME TO CATCH
AND KILL STORIES FOR THE SAKE
OF INFLUENCING THE ELECTION.
SO WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO HEAR
FROM PECKER TODAY?
>> SO I KIND OF SPLIT IT BASED
ON DIRECT EXAMINATION
AND CROSS-EXAMINATION.
SO I THINK WILL BE TWO VERY
DIFFERENT FACTORS FROM
THE DEFENSE SORRY, FROM
THE PROSECUTION.
WHO’S GOING TO GO FIRST
WITH DIRECT EXAMINATION.
I THINK WE’RE GOING TO HEAR
THE OUTSET ALSO THE KIND
OF INNER WORKINGS OF THIS
CONSPIRACY, WHO CAME TO WHOM,
WHO DECIDED ON WHAT?
HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO WORK?
WHAT WAS THE SYSTEM IN PLACE
AND HOW WERE YOU THE PIVOTAL
PART OF THIS AND THE
COMMUNICATIONS WITH DONALD,
THE COMMUNICATIONS WITH MICHAEL
COHEN AND WHAT YOU ACTUALLY
DID, THE PROSECUTION LAID
THAT OUT PRETTY WELL IN MY MIND
IN THEIR OPENING STATEMENTS,
AS I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE
VERY SIMILAR LIKE THAT IN
THEIR DIRECT EXAMINATION FOR
THE CROSS-EXAMINATION.
I THINK THAT FOR DONALD TRUMP’S
ATTORNEYS, THE PUSHBACK IS,
IS THIS IS BUSINESS AS USUAL
KIND OF GOING BACK TO THAT LINE
OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
IS DEMOCRACY IN THE SENSE
THAT THIS CONSPIRACY, THIS
CRIMINAL ILLEGAL COMING MINDS
IS NOT ILLEGAL IN THE SENSE
THAT THIS ALL THE TIME.
I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE
THE MAJOR PUSHBACK FOR DONALD
TRUMP AND, IF HE CAN CREATE
A SENSE OF THIS ISN’T ILLEGAL,
THIS IS JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL
,THERE BECOMES NO UNDERLYING
CRIME.
THIS DOESN’T BECOME A FELONY.
AND I THINK FOR THE MOST PART,
THE DEFENSE CAN KIND OF SAY,
YEAH, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
A MISDEMEANOR, BUT NO FELONY
AND STILL GET AT THE HEART
OF THIS CASE, DISMISS
THE LARGER CHARGES.
>> WE DID ALSO HEAR DURING
OPENING STATEMENTS YESTERDAY,
THE DEFENSE REMINDING THE JURY
THAT DONALD TRUMP IS NOT JUST
A FORMER
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
HE’S NOT JUST THE GUY, YOU KNOW
,TV, HE’S A MAN, HE’S A
FATHER, HE’S A HUSBAND, ETC..
SO HOW MUCH OF THE
CROSS-EXAMINATION AND WHAT WE
HEAR FURTHER ON IN THE TRIAL
IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THIS
WASN’T ABOUT THE ELECTION.
THIS WAS A MAN WHO DIDN’T WANT
HIS WIFE AND HIS KIDS TO HEAR
THESE STORIES ABOUT HIS
ALLEGED AFFAIRS.
>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE A
GREAT DEFENSE.
I’M NOT SURE IF WE HEARD ENOUGH
OF THAT IN THE OPENING
STATEMENTS THAT THE DEFENSE
ARE GOING TO.
BUT THEY HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY
TO DO THAT.
I THINK THAT THE IDEA THAT THIS
IS FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS
RECORDS TO MAKE SURE THAT MY
FAMILY DOESN’T HEAR ABOUT KIND
OF MISDEEDS IN THE PAST AS I AM
NOW STEPPING INTO THE PUBLIC
ARENA IS A GREAT DEFENSE AND A
GREAT WAY TO HUMANIZE HIM
AS WELL.
IF GO THAT ROUTE, I THINK THEN
YOU HAVE COMPETING IDEAS OF,
IS THIS THE NEFARIOUS TRUMP WHO
IS TRYING TO HOODWINK
THE AVERAGE ELECTOR BY THEIR
BUSINESS RECORDS, OR IS THIS
A MAN WHO IS TRYING TO STEP
OF THE BUSINESS WORLD AND INTO
THE POLITICAL AND HAS A FEW
SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET THAT HE
DOESN’T WANT HIS FAMILY
TO HEAR?
I THINK THAT COULD HELP HIM.
IN MANY WAYS.
IT’S JUST TIME WILL TELL IF
THE DEFENSE GOES THAT ROUTE.
>> ALL RIGHT, JOHN SANTUCCI
BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU BOTH
.
>> AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING
THIS TRIAL ALL DAY LONG
AND BRING YOU UPDATES
RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.
COMING UP, A SHORTAGE
OF MEDICATION USED FOR WEIGHT
LOSS.

POPULAR DRUG SAY IT WILL BE

YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR MEDICATION.
AND HAPPENING NOW, FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN THAT
MANHATTAN COURTHOUSE.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE IN A CRIMINAL HUSH
MONEY CASE AGAINST HIM TO HOLD
THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN
CONTEMPT FOR ALLEGED GAG ORDER
VIOLATIONS.
WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE OF THIS
HISTORIC CASE DAY LONG
RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.
STAY WITH US.
WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.

GAMES.
THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS
WHO NEGLECTED THEIR SON OR
HIS CRIES FOR HELP.
THEY’RE WALKING DOWN FIRST
PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE
CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING
IN THEIR COUNTRY AND BREAK IT.
YOU DON’T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM
THAT.
THAT’S A HUMAN.
>> THE SINS OF THE PARENTS,

IT WAS SURREAL.
OH, MY GOD.
INTIMIDATION TAPES.
TONIGHT, SPECIAL NIGHT, SPECIAL
TIME ON ABC.
SO THESE BOX IDENTICAL.
BUT WHAT IS REAL AND WHAT
IS FAKE?
THIS FEELS LIKE REAL.

SUPER THING.
SOME OF THESE ARE CHEF’S KISS.
THIS IS A COUNTERFEIT.

A LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE
THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST
IN AMERICA?
WE ARE PART OF AN OPERATION
WHICH IS OUR COMBAT OPERATIONS
CENTER.
WE’RE APPROACHING THE GATE.
MILITANTS CAME IN FROM
DIRECTIONS.
NUCLEAR REACTOR SEES A COUPLE
LOADED AND READY TO GO.

WATCHED NEWSCAST.
>> WELCOME BACK.
MANUFACTURERS OF SOME POPULAR
DRUGS USED FOR WEIGHT LOSS SAY
SHORTAGES COULD LAST SEVERAL
MORE MONTHS.
PRODUCTION OF LOW STARTER DOSES
HAS INCREASED, BUT THOSE BUMPED
UP TO A HIGHER DOSE MAY HAVE A
HARDER TIME FINDING IT.
ABC NEWS JANAI NORMAN HAS MORE.
>> IT HAS NOW AFFECTED ME.
THE FDA SHORTAGES OF POPULAR
WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS ARE DEEPENING
AS PATIENTS SCRAMBLE TO FILL
PRESCRIPTIONS.
>> RIGHT NOW IT’S KIND OF AN
EASTER EGG HUNT FOR WHO TAKE
THESE.
WE ARE HAVING A REALLY
DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING UP.
>> IT’S A VERY TOUGH TIME.
THE FDA REPORTING WEIGHT
MEDICATION ZEP BOUND HAS
LIMITED AVAILABILITY IN DOSES
EXCEPT FOR ONE THROUGH JUNE.
ANOTHER POPULAR DRUG WITH GOBY
ALSO EXPERIENCING SHORTAGES
ON ALL BUT ONE DOSE,
BUT DOESN’T INDICATE WHEN IT
MIGHT IS.
>> SO IN ONE GIVEN AFTERNOON
I BELIEVE I TRIED TO CONTACT
BETWEEN 20 AND 25 PHARMACIES,
PATIENTS LIKE TARA DICKENS
OF MASSACHUSETTS HAVING
TO SWITCH TO A COMPOUNDED
VERSION OF THE DRUG.
>> AND IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING
.
DIDN’T WANT TO MESS IT UP.
I DIDN’T WANT TO MISS DOSES.
DOCTORS SAY THE MANUFACTURERS
HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING UP
WITH THE DEMAND.
>> I’VE HAD PATIENTS TO DRIVE
100 PLUS MILES TO FIND
THEIR APPROPRIATE DOSE
OF WEGOVY.
OR IS THAT FOUND BOTH?
NOVO NORDISK, THE MAKER
OF LACOB, AND ELI LILLY,
THE MAKER OF ZEPP, SAY THERE
WILL CONTINUE TO BE SHORTAGES,
BUT THEY PLAN TO CONTINUE
TO INCREASE OVERALL SUPPLY.
>> YOU WANT TO CALL ALL YOUR
LOCAL PHARMACY AND SEE WHAT THE
SUPPLY IS ON A DAY TO DAY
BASIS.
AT TIMES PATIENTS MIGHT HAVE TO
ALTER THE DOSE OF THEIR
MEDICATIONS BECAUSE OF THE
SUPPLY LIMITATIONS.
SO, DR. JOHNSON, THEY’RE SAYING
YOUR PROVIDER MIGHT HAVE TO
SEND OVER A NEW PRESCRIPTION
FOR A LOWER DOSE SO THAT YOU
CAN CONTINUE TO TAKE
THE MEDICATION UNTIL THE SUPPLY
INCREASES.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THERE
ARE OPTIONS OUT THERE
TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR PROVIDER.
>> DIANE JANAI NORMAN, THANK
YOU.
AN ABC NEWS INVESTIGATION
IS LOOKING INTO WHERE THOUSANDS
OF PLASTIC BAGS EARMARKED TO BE
RECYCLE CAN ACTUALLY END UP.
CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT
MATT GUTMAN HAS THAT STORY.
IN OUR EARTH WEEK SERIES,
THE POWER OF.
>> OUR ABC NEWS INVESTIGATION
SHINING, A LIGHT FOR THE FIRST
TIME ON HOW SOME OF THE PLASTIC
BAGS EARMARKED RECYCLING
AT WAL-MARTS IN THE U.S. ENDED
UP 9000 MILES AWAY IN SOUTHEAST
ASIA.
IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE
AND UNETHICAL TO EXPORTING
PLASTIC WASTE TO OTHER
COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT.
A RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE SET
UP TO HANDLE THIS PLASTIC WASTE
TRADE AS PART OF A COMPLEX
SYSTEM THAT THE U.N. SAYS
IS TOO OFTEN PLAGUED
BY ILLEGALITY.
AS PART OF AN 18 MONTH
INVESTIGATION, WE PUT TRACKERS
,PLASTIC BAGS EARMARKED FOR
RECYCLING AND DROPPED THEM OFF
AT 46 MAJOR RETAIL STORES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
A MAJORITY OF THE BAGS ENDED UP
IN LANDFILLS OR INCINERATORS.
BUT THREE OF THE 19 TRACKERS
DROPPED OFF AT WAL-MART STORES
,ENDED UP IN SOUTHEAST ASIA,
TWO OF THEM IN MALAYSIA NOT
FAR FROM WHERE POORLY
PAYING LIVES.
WE WANT TO LET PEOPLE WHO THINK
WE DO MALAYSIAN KNOW THAT WE
NEED YOUR HELP.
>> FOR OVER A YEAR, WAL-MART
SAID THEY WERE WILLING TO TALK,
BUT NEVER MADE ANYONE AVAILABLE
FOR AN INTERVIEW.
>> SO WE DECIDED TO ATTEND
CONFERENCE WHERE THE CHIEF
SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER WAS
SPEAKING.
>> HI, MR. CLINTON.
I’M MATT GUTMAN WITH ABC NEWS.
HOW ARE YOU.
WE ARE DOING A STORY
ABOUT PLASTIC THAT EARMARKED
PLASTIC BAGS WERE EARMARKED FOR

INSTEAD PROVIDED A STATEMENT

AT SOME OF THE DAY’S OTHER
TOP STORIES.
>> A JUDGE IN MOSCOW, IDAHO,
IS ALLOWING BRIAN COBURN’S
DEFENSE TO CONTINUE
THEIR CONTROVERSIAL SURVEY
OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS.
COWORKERS ACCUSED OF STABBING
FOUR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO DEATH
IN AN OFF CAMPUS HOME
IN NOVEMBER OF 2022.
THE RULING ALLOWS AN OUTSIDE
CONSULTING COMPANY TO CALL
POTENTIAL JURORS ASKING
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CASE.
THE PROSECUTION SAYS THOSE
QUESTIONS COULD PREJUDICE
THE LOCAL JURY POOL.
THE MAN CHARGED IN CONNECTION
WITH THE MURDER OF TUPAC SHAKUR
IS EXPECTED IN COURT TODAY.
DUANE K.T. DAVIS IS SCHEDULED
TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF A
JUDGE FOR A STATUS CHECK AHEAD
OF HIS MURDER TRIAL
IN NOVEMBER.
DAVIS STILL HASN’T THE $750,000
BAIL SET BY THE JUDGE AND
HIS LAST HEARING.
HIS ATTORNEYS SAID PEOPLE
WHO WANTED TO PUT UP THE FUNDS
FOR DAVIS RELEASE JAIL DIDN’T
WANT TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE
SOURCE OF THE MONEY.
AND IT’S A ROYAL BIRTHDAY.

FORMER PRESIDENT IS IN COURT
WHERE A GAG ORDER HEARING
IS UNDERWAY IN HIS CRIMINAL
HUSH MONEY.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING A JUDGE
TO HOLD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT,
CLAIMING VIOLATED A LIMITED GAG
ORDER SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING
BY TALKING ABOUT WITNESS
MICHAEL COHEN.
>> YESTERDAY, JUST OUTSIDE
THE COURTROOM.
>> AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING
TO LOOK AT ALL THE LIES
THAT THE LAST ONE LYING
ABOUT THIS TRIAL.
SO HE GOT CAUGHT LYING.
>> PURE LIE.
NOW, IF THE JUDGE FINDS
TRUMP IN CONTEMPT, HE COULD
GIVE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT ANYTHING FROM
A WARNING TO JAIL TIME.
AFTER THE HEARING, THE JURY
WILL THEN HEAR MORE TESTIMONY
FROM FIRST WITNESS, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER, WHO PROSECUTORS
SAY WAS THE EYES AND EARS
OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY
TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS
TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT
TO ADULT FILM ACTRESS STORMY
DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016
ELECTION AND HAS DENIED HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH DANIELS.
ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
OLIVIA RUBIN JOINS ME NOW FROM
OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE ALONG
WITH ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE
EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN
SANTUCCI, SENIOR REPORTER
KATHERINE FAULDERS AND LEGAL
CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
OLIVIA, WE JUST LEARNED
THAT PROSECUTORS ARE NOW
ALLEGING TRUMP VIOLATED THE GAG
ORDER ON 11TH TIME IN ADDITION
TO THE TEN THEY WERE GOING
TO COURT FOR TO BEGIN WITH JUST
OUTSIDE THAT COURTROOM
WITH THOSE COMMENTS, WHAT’S
THE LATEST?
>> WELL, JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN
KICKED OFF THIS GAG ORDER
HEARING BY TURNING OVER TO THE
PROSECUTORS AND SAYING, IT
IS YOUR BURDEN.
I’LL HEAR YOU NOW.
AND THAT IS WHEN
THE PROSECUTOR, CHRIS CONROY,
SORT OF LAUNCHED WHAT WAS,
QUITE FRANKLY, A BRUTAL OPENING
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, READING
THROUGH THE TEN
ALLEGED VIOLATIONS THAT DONALD
TRUMP HAS MADE ABOUT WITNESSES
IN THE CASE, THEN POINTING
THE COMMENTS HE MADE OUTSIDE
OF COURT AND SORT OF SNEAKING
IN A REMARK ABOUT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT THERE SAYING HE HAD
BEEN ABLE TO HOLD A PRESS
IN THE HALLWAY EVERY SINGLE DAY
OF THIS TRIAL IS A PRIVILEGE
THAT ESSENTIALLY NO OTHER
DEFENDANT IN THIS COURTHOUSE
GETS.
AND THEN THEY JUST STARTED
READING THROUGH EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THE POSTS SAYING
THAT THEY POSE A VERY REAL
THREAT TO THE CASE AND TO
THE WITNESSES THAT ARE GOING
TO TESTIFY.
AND JUST DIANE, I JUST
CAN’T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH JUST
TICKING THROUGH ONE BY ONE,
GOING TO THE HALLWAY REMARKS
WHILE DONALD TRUMP IS
THAT THEY’RE OCCASIONALLY
LOOKING AT CHRIS CONROY.
SO SORT OF A HEATED, INTENSE
MOMENT.
AND THEN IT WILL, OF COURSE,
BE DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM’S TO SAY
THEIR SIDE, WHICH THEY HAVE
SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT GAG
ORDER VIOLATIONS.
JOHN, PART OF THAT ARGUMENT FOR
THE DEFENSE IS THAT DONALD
TRUMP IS A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE AND HE IS MAKING
POLITICAL SPEECHES AS HIS
POLITICAL PROTECTED SPEECH.
>> WHAT ARE YOU HEARING
ABOUT THAT NOW?
AND ACCORDING TO OUR TEAM,
PROSECUTORS ALREADY REACTING
TO THAT IN REAL TIME.
MARK PETER CHARALAMBOUS AS PART
OF THE ARGUMENT, PROSECUTORS
JUST SAID, QUOTE, THROWING
A MAGA, WHICH OF COURSE
IS DONALD TRUMP’S MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN PHRASE INTO
A POST DOESN’T MAKE POLITICAL.
IT MAY MAKE IT MORE OMINOUS.
I THINK THAT REALLY JUST
THE HEART OF WHAT PROSECUTORS
ARE TRYING TO DO HERE
TO OLIVIA’S POINT GOING PIECE
BY PIECE INTO ALL OF THESE
POSTS OF DONALD TRUMP JUST
BECAUSE YOU’RE SAYING MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN OR TALKING
ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE,
YOU KNOW, TEARING DOWN
OUR COUNTRY OR OUR BORDER,
ETC., IT DOESN’T MATTER.
JUST ADDING IN THOSE KEY
PHRASES DOESN’T TAKE AWAY
THE HEART WHAT YOU’RE TRYING
TO DO, WHICH IS WITNESS
INTIMIDATION.
AND I THINK THAT GOING THROUGH
EACH POST AND EVEN AS WE JUST
PLAYED FOR OUR VIEWERS,
DIANE THAT SOUND OF DONALD
TRUMP, RIGHT, HE MADE THOSE
COMMENTS ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN
YESTERDAY, BUT DID ALSO TALK
ABOUT POLITICS.
BUT PROSECUTORS SAYING IT
DOESN’T MATTER JUST BECAUSE
YOU THROW A LITTLE BIT
OF MEDICINE INTO IT, IF
YOU WILL, SOMETHING SOMEWHAT
HEALTHY STILL MAKES IT A BAD
APPLE.
AND BRIAN, IT’S INTERESTING
BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY SPOKE
ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY WHEN WE
SAW HIM MAKE THOSE COMMENTS
LIVE.
I ASKED YOU IF YOU JUST VIOLATE
THE GAG ORDER AGAIN, WHAT DO
YOU THINK NOW THAT YOU’RE
HEARING PROSECUTORS GO BEFORE
THE JUDGE AND SAY THEY THINK
HE DID?
>> I THINK THEIR ARGUMENTS
ARE VERY STRONG.
AND TO JOHN’S POINT OF LIKE
THROWING A LITTLE BIT DOESN’T
NECESSARILY MAKE IT POLITICAL.
>> IT JUST GOES STRAIGHT TO THE
GAG ORDER ITSELF.
THAT JUDGE MOTION SIGNED JUST
APRIL 1ST.
HE CANNOT MAKE ANY DIRECT
TO OTHERS TO MAKE
ABOUT POTENTIAL WITNESSES
CONCERNING THEIR THEIR
POTENTIAL PARTICIPATION.
>> THE CASE GOING AFTER COHEN.
I GET THAT ISN’T HEART OF THE
DEFENSE’S ARGUMENT, BUT IT’S
NOT FOR DONALD TRUMP, AT LEAST
BASED ON HIS GAG ORDER, TO MAKE
IT EVEN GO EVEN FURTHER UP INTO
GAG ORDER AND SEE
THE JUDGE MERCHAN IN ISSUING
THIS DECISION HAS ALREADY
DECIDED THAT BASICALLY EVIDENCE
THAT THE PROSECUTORS BROUGHT
BEFORE HIM TO ENACT THIS GAG
ORDER, HE SAID THAT ADMONITIONS
ARE NOT ENOUGH NOR SELF
SELF-RESTRAINT.
HE’S SAYING THAT THIS GAG ORDER
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE PREVIOUS
WITNESSES HAVE COME FORWARD
AND SAY THAT NOT ONLY THEY’RE
FEARFUL FOR THEMSELVES,
BUT ALSO FOR THEIR FAMILY.
SO I THINK IF WE GET TO A POINT
WHERE WE’RE STARTING TO HAND
FINES AGAINST DONALD TRUMP,
HE HAS ALREADY BEEN FOREWARNED
BEFORE.
>> NOW IT’S TIME FOR
THE PUNISHMENT.
THEN, JOHN, WHAT WE HEARD FROM
COURT TODAY, THOUGH, BECAUSE
THE FORMER PRESIDENT SPOKE
AGAIN BEFORE ENTERING
THE COURTROOM THIS MORNING,
SOUNDED A LOT MORE LIKE
A POLITICAL SPEECH THAN
YESTERDAY.
HIS COMMENTS AND FREQUENTLY
HIS COMMENTS OUTSIDE
THE COURTROOM WHERE HE MAKES
ALLEGATIONS ABOUT THIS CASE
SPECIFICALLY.
DID HIS TEAM TELL HIM TO REIN
IT IN, THEN TELLING HIM TO REIN
IT IN?
THEY’VE BEEN TELLING HIM FOR
WEEKS TO REIN IT IN AND
OBVIOUSLY SHOULDN’T SELL
SHORT POST OR SOMETHING
THAT NOBODY CAN CONTROL BECAUSE
DONALD TRUMP, AT THE END OF THE
DAY CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.
AND MOST OF THOSE POSTS
I REMEMBER BACK TO THE DAYS
WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS LIVING
AT 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE,
THE NUMBER OF TIMES THAT I
WOULD CALL SENIOR OFFICIALS
IN THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE AND
SAY, HEY, WHAT DID HE MEAN
BY THIS TWEET?
AND THEY WOULD SAY, WHAT TWEET
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IT WAS SO RAPID FIRE AND
FRANKLY, SO WITHOUT ANY TYPE
OF GUARDRAILS THAT DONALD
TRUMP WOULD JUST, YOU KNOW,
BASICALLY DO THINGS ON HIS OWN.
WHAT I THINK IS INTERESTING,
JUST GOING BACK AGAIN TO WHAT
OUR TEAM PULLING FROM COURT,
DIANE, IS IT PLAYS EXACTLY INTO
YOUR QUESTION.
PROSECUTOR, JUST A FEW MOMENTS
AGO SAID, ACCORDING TO OUR
PETER CHARALAMBOUS QUOTE,
IT’S CLEAR THAT HE KNOWS,
REFERRING TO DONALD TRUMP ABOUT
THE ORDER HE WHAT HE IS NOT
ALLOWED TO DO.
AND HE DOES IT ANY WAY
THAT VERY CRYSTAL CLEAR AS
TO WHAT MANY PEOPLE AROUND
DONALD TRUMP HAVE SAID TO ME
AND OTHERS AROUND, YOU KNOW,
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IS
THAT WE TRY WE GIVE UP.
HE DOES NOT LISTEN TO ANYBODY.
BUT AGAIN, COMING BACK INTO
THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT WHERE
THINGS ARE FOR DONALD TRUMP IN
THIS COURTROOM COMPARED TO ANY
OTHER PART OF HIS LIFE, THERE
HAVE NOT BEEN REAL CONSEQUENCES
BEFORE.
THIS IS WHERE TIME
IS DIFFERENT.
CATHERINE, ANY MORE INSIGHTS
ON TRUMP’S TEAMS STRATEGY,
LEGAL STRATEGY, WHEN IT COMES
TO THESE POSTS AND THESE
COMMENTS THAT HE SOMETIMES
MAKES?
WELL, LOOK, I THINK WHAT JOHN
WAS SAYING WHEN, WE USED
TO WHEN TRUMP WAS DOWN AT THE
WHITE HOUSE AND WE USED TO CALL
AND SAY, WHAT DOES HE MEAN
BY THESE TWEETS?
A LOT OF HIS TOP ADVISERS
TURNED OFF NOTIFICATIONS FOR
HIS TWEETS, FOR HIS POSTS
ON SOCIAL.
THEY WERE TIRED OF THEIR PHONE
PINGING 3 SECONDS.
SO AS IT RELATES TO TRUMP’S
POST, AS IT RELATED TO THE
CASE, THEY CAN’T REALLY DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
THEY CAN’T CONTROL HIM, AS JOHN
SAID.
NOW, LOOK WHAT HIS LAWYERS LIKE
HIM TO NOT POST THINGS
ON THROUGH SOCIAL.
YES.
WHAT HIS LAWYERS LIKE HIM DO
NOT GO UP TO THE CAMERA
AND VIOLATE GAG ORDER.
YES, I KNOW FROM SOURCES CLOSE
TO HIS LEGAL TEAM THAT THEY
TOLD HIM THAT AFTERWARDS, AFTER
YESTERDAY, IT WAS VERY CLEAR TO
TRUMP’S LAWYERS HE HAD VIOLATED
THAT GAG ORDER.
SO IN TERMS OF THE STRATEGY,
THEY DON’T WANT HIM REALLY
TALKING AT THE CAMERA WHEN
HE IS GOING TALK
ABOUT WITNESSES, WHEN HE COULD
POTENTIALLY TALK ABOUT JURORS,
IF HE’S GOING TO BRING UP ANY
OF THE PROSECUTORS OR
THE JUDGE’S FAMILY, FOR EXAMPLE
,ALL OF THAT IS ON THE TABLE.
AND TRUMP CONTINUES TO DO IT
AS PROSECUTORS ARE SAYING
IN COURT RIGHT NOW.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING.
HE KNOWS THAT HE’S VIOLATING
IT.
HE’S CONTINUING TO DO IT.
THIS ISN’T GOING TO STOP.
AND AS WE’VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT, THIS IS GOING TO REMAIN
A NARRATIVE THROUGHOUT THIS
WHOLE TRIAL THAT CAMERA,
HE’S GOING TO GO UP TO THAT
CAMERA, HE’S GOING TO TALK,
HE’S GOING TO POST ON TRUE
SOCIAL.
HE’S NOT GOING TO REIN IT IN.
HIS LAWYERS HAVE TOLD HIM TO.
HE HASN’T.
SO I DON’T NECESSARILY THINK
WE’RE GOING TO SEE A REALLY
BIG CHANGE HERE WITH THE WAY
HE’S BEHAVING.
WE’LL SEE, OF COURSE, WHAT THE
JUDGE SAYS IN COURT AND IF
THAT CHANGES SOME OF TRUMP’S
APPROACH HERE.
BUT WHO KNOWS?
BRIAN, RIGHT NOW, AS KATHERINE
POINTS OUT, WITNESSES
ARE COVERED UNDER THIS GAG
ORDER, COURT STAFF, THE FAMILY
MEMBERS OF THE JUDGE,
THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE
PROSECUTORS.
BUT D.A. ALVIN BRAGG AND THE
JUDGE HIMSELF ARE NOT UNDER
THIS GAG ORDER.
>> COULD WE SEE IT EXPANDED?
IT IS WITHIN THE REALM
OF POSSIBILITY, BUT I THINK IT
IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
>> AND THE REASON WHY I SAID SO
FAR, THE STATEMENTS OF DONALD
TRUMP SPECIFICALLY GOING
AGAINST THE WITNESSES, I MEAN,
ALSO THE GAG ORDER ALSO COVERS
JURORS.
HE’S NOT TALKING ABOUT THEM,
THANKFULLY, BUT HE’S ONLY GOING
AFTER PEOPLE HE’S NOT SUPPOSED
TO GO TO.
SO I THINK WE ARE FAR
LESS LIKELY TO SEE AN EXPANSION
OF THE GAG ORDER TO OTHER
PEOPLE AND MORE SO HIGHER
PUNISHMENTS.
RIGHT NOW, THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY IS ONLY ASKING FOR
FINES WHILE LEAVING STILL
ON THE TABLE THAT POTENTIAL
JAIL TIME IS A POSSIBILITY.
IF DONALD TRUMP THEORETICALLY
CONTINUES TO VIOLATE THE ORDER,
I WOULD THINK IT’S MORE LIKELY
TO SAY RIGHT, MORE FINES.
BUT ALSO MAYBE IT’S COMING
AFTER NOON IN A HOLDING.
YOU MUST BE READING THE MINDS
OF THE PEOPLE IN COURT BECAUSE
PROSECUTORS SAID RIGHT NOW,
QUOTE, WE ARE NOT SEEKING ANY
AND CASTLEBERRY PENALTY
DEFENDANT SEEMS TO BE ANGLING
FOR THAT.
SO NOT THERE YET.
>> I MUST BE READING SOME OF
WHAT I MEAN.
OR ARE YOU GOING TO THE ROOM?
TRUMP’S TEAM DID SEND OUT AN
EMAIL FUNDRAISING SAYING WE
COULD BE THROWN IN JAIL.
>> HE COULD BE THROWN IN JAIL
AT ANY MOMENT.
TOTALLY.
NOW, OLIVIA, ONCE THIS CONTEMPT
HEARING IS DONE AND THEN MOVE
ON TO TESTIMONY, DAVID PECKER,
THE NATIONAL, A FORMER
PUBLISHER OF THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER", A LONG
TIME FRIEND OF DONALD TRUMP’S,
WILL RETURN TO THE WITNESS
STAND.
>> WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING FOR?
THERE?
>> WELL, WE’RE GOING TO SEE IF
DAVID PACKER IS GOING TO LAY
OUT IS THE CENTRAL SORT
OF STORY OF THE CASE HERE
ABOUT MEETING THAT THEY HAD
DAVID PECKER, DONALD TRUMP AND
MICHAEL COHEN, WHERE
PROSECUTORS SAY THEY CAME
TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHERE
THEY WERE GOING TO FIND BUY UP
AND KILL NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AHEAD OF THE
2016 ELECTION.
AND REMEMBER WHAT THIS CASE
IS ABOUT.
IT’S MONEY.
IT’S ABOUT PAPERWORK,
IT’S ABOUT DOCUMENTS.
SO WHAT PROSECUTORS TRYING
TO DO AND THEY DID THIS
YESTERDAY WHEN THEY WENT BEFORE
THE JURY FOR STATEMENTS, WAS
REALLY TELL THEM A STORY
THAT THEY COULD AND THAT
THEY COULD FOLLOW.
THAT GOES BEYOND
WHAT TODD BLANCHE ATTORNEY SAID
WITH THE CASE.
JUST ABOUT 34 PIECES OF PAPER.
SO THEY’RE TRYING TO MAKE IT
THE STORY OF THE CATCH
AND KILL.
KAREN MCDOUGAL, THE MAN WELL
BEYOND STORMY DANIELS,
SOMETHING THAT THE JURY CAN
UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW.
AND THEY HAVE SORT OF JUST
BASED ON LISTENING TO THEIR
OPENING ARGUMENTS, MADE IT
ABOUT THIS AND KILL SCHEME,
WHICH DAVID PECKER REALLY WAS
IN THE MIDDLE OF HERE,
OLIVIA RUBIN, JOHN SANTUCCI,
BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU ALL.

TRIAL ALL DAY LONG AND BRING

IS UNDER WAY IN HIS CRIMINAL
HUSH MONEY TRIAL.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT, CLAIMING HE VIOLATED
LIMITED GAG ORDER SEVERAL
TIMES, INCLUDING BY TALKING
ABOUT WITNESS COHEN.
>> JUST YESTERDAY OUTSIDE
THE COURTROOM,
ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL
PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI JOINS ME
NOW.
JOHN, THE TRUMP DOES FIND
TRUMP IN CONTEMPT.
YOU COULD GIVE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT ANYTHING FROM
A WARNING TO JAIL TIME.
SO WHAT STICKS OUT TO YOU FROM
THE ARGUMENTS SO FAR AND HOW DO
YOU EXPECT THIS TO PLAY OUT SO
FAR?
PROSECUTORS ARE REALLY DIGGING
IN.
THEY’VE GONE PIECE, PIECE
BREAKING DOWN ALL TEN POSTS
THAT THEY SAY DONALD MADE
THAT WAS, IN THEIR OPINION,
HAPPENING TO INTIMIDATE
WITNESSES.
IT’S INTERESTING THAT THEY’VE
EXPANDED THIS NOW TO AN 11TH
POTENTIAL VIOLATION.
TALKING ABOUT COMMENTS DONALD
TRUMP MADE OF COURT YESTERDAY
WHERE HE REFERENCED HIS FORMER
ATTORNEY AND FIXER, MICHAEL
COHEN, WHO’S OBVIOUSLY GOING
TO BE THE STAR WITNESS IN THESE
PROCEEDINGS.
DIANE, WHAT’S INTERESTING,
THOUGH, IS THAT NOW
THAT PROSECUTORS HAVE WRAPPED,
IT’S TIME FOR DONALD TRUMP’S
TEAM TO RESPOND.
THEY ARE ALREADY FIRING BACK.
TRUMP ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE
SAYING IN COURT, QUOTE,
PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES, IN FACT,
KNOW WHAT THE GAG ORDER HIM
TO DO AND NOT ALLOW HIM TO DO.
THERE IS NO DISPUTE
THE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FACING
A BARRAGE OF POLITICAL ATTACKS
FROM ALL SIDES, AND THEY
WILL NOT GO ON TO SAY THAT IN
THEIR OPINION, HE’S ALLOWED
TO RESPOND AND REACT TO IT.
NOW, WE HAVE TO BE CLEAR THAT A
LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT DONALD
IS MAKING ARE MORE GENERAL
LIES.
IT’S NOT LIKE HE’S RESPONDING
IN SPECIFIC.
AND WE KNOW FROM THE ARGUMENT
PROSECUTORS HAVE MADE IS THAT,
YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP IS GOING
TO SAY THESE ARE POLITICAL
SPEECH, FREE SPEECH COMMENTS,
AS THEY SAID, JUST BECAUSE
HE WRITES MAGA OR INSERT
SOME POLITICAL THING, IT
DOESN’T MATTER WHAT HE’S TRYING
TO DO IN THEIR OPINION, WHICH
IS ATTACK THE WITNESSES.
>> ALL RIGHT, EXECUTIVE

ABC’S CHIEF WHITE

IS TRAVELING THE PRESIDENT.
>> WELL, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN
HOPING THAT THE ISSUE
OF ABORTION WILL HELP
DRIVE VOTERS TO THE POLLS

IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE AGAINST
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
AND WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE
WITH UPDATES FROM INSIDE
THE COURTROOM THROUGHOUT
THE DAY.
>> BUT FIRST, LET’S LOOK
AT SOME OF THE DAY’S OTHER
TOP STORIES.
A JUDGE IN MOSCOW IDAHO
IS ALLOWING BRIAN COBURG,
HIS DEFENSE TEAM, TO CONTINUE
THEIR CONTROVERSIAL SURVEY
OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS.
COWORKERS ACCUSED OF STABBING
FOUR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO DEATH
IN AN OFF CAMPUS HOME
IN NOVEMBER 2022.
THE RULING ALLOWS AN OUTSIDE
CONSULTING TO CALL POTENTIAL
JURORS ASKING QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE CASE.
THE PROSECUTION SAYS THOSE
QUESTIONS COULD PREJUDICE
THE LOCAL JURY POOL.
THE MAN CHARGED IN CONNECTION
WITH THE MURDER OF TUPAC SHAKUR
IS EXPECTED IN COURT TODAY.
DUANE DAVIS IS SCHEDULED
TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF A
JUDGE FOR A STATUS CHECK AHEAD
OF HIS MURDER TRIAL NOVEMBER.
DAVIS STILL HASN’T MADE
THE $750,000 BAIL SET BY THE
JUDGE AT HIS LAST HEARING.
HIS ATTORNEY SAID PEOPLE
WHO WANTED TO PUT UP THE FUNDS
FOR HIS RELEASE DIDN’T
TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE SOURCE
OF THAT MONEY.
AND IT’S A ROYAL BIRTHDAY.
PRINCE LOUIS TURNS SIX TODAY.
KENSINGTON PALACE JUST RELEASED
THIS PHOTO SAYING IT WAS
PHOTOGRAPHED BY HIS MOTHER,
PRINCESS KATE, AT THEIR HOME
IN WINDSOR.
WE’RE TOLD IT WAS TAKEN OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS.
THE PALACE HAS RELEASED A PHOTO
OF THE PRINCE EVERY YEAR ON
HIS BIRTHDAY.
AND THIS YEAR COMES AS THE
PRINCESS OF WALES IS BEING
TREATED FOR CANCER.
ROYAL SOURCES SAY
THEY’RE CELEBRATING
HIS BIRTHDAY PRIVATELY AS A
FAMILY.
>> AND SEVERE WEATHER
IS EXPECTED TO RAMP UP IN THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS IN THE
HEARTLAND.
BASEBALL SIZED HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE
FROM TEXAS TO SOUTH CAROLINA.
METEOROLOGIST MARK HARRIS
TRACKING FOR US TOMORROW.
>> HEY, GOOD MORNING, DAN.
THAT’S RIGHT.
AND WHILE THE ANTICIPATED
SEVERE WEATHER TOWARDS THE END
OF THE YEAR IS I’M SORRY,
THE END OF THE WEEK IS GOING
TO BE PRETTY STRONG, WE DO
HAVE SOME STORM THREATS TODAY.
SO I’M ACTUALLY GOING TO POINT
THAT OUT TO YOU.
HERE WE ARE AS WE HEAD THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
FIRST, WHAT WE HAVE IS
A MARGINAL RISK UP TOWARDS
THE GREAT LAKES.
THAT’S WHERE WE CAN SEE
SOME WINDS, MAYBE SOME HAIL,
HEAVY RAIN, A LITTLE BIT
MORE ELEVATED AS YOU HEAD
FARTHER.
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN
TEXAS COULD ACTUALLY SEE
SOME DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL
AND SOME HEAVY RAIN.
THEN WE HAVE OUR NEXT THREAT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER MOVING IN.
THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT
MORE ROBUST.
THIS IS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
YOU CAN SEE THIS NEXT
STORM SYSTEM SWEEPING ACROSS
THE HEARTLAND IN ALL ITS GLORY.
HERE’S A LOOK AT WHO’S GOING
TO SEE WHAT WHEN.
ALL RIGHT.
SO THURSDAY, YOU CAN SEE
IT’S REALLY THE WESTERN OF A
LOT OF THESE STATES, OKLAHOMA,
TEXAS.
ALL RIGHT.
ON UP INTO THAT’S WHERE WE
HAVE THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING
WINDS, LARGE HAIL, EVEN A FEW
TORNADOES.
AND THEN FRIDAY, THAT THREAT
STARTS TO SHIFT A LITTLE BIT
FARTHER EAST.
SO IF YOU LIVE IN DES MOINES,
KANSAS CITY, SPRINGFIELD,
I KNOW IT’S BEEN A GO THE LAST
FEW WEEKS FOR YOU GUYS.
GET READY FOR MORE SEVERE
WEATHER AS YOU RAMP UP, HEAD
INTO YOUR WEEKEND.
>> AS FAR AS THE NUMBERS GO.
THINGS HAVE BEEN REALLY PRETTY
CHILLY ON THE EAST COAST
AND WE’VE HAD A COOL START IN
PARTS OF THE WEST THIS MORNING
.
TEMPERATURES DOWN TO THE
FORTIES.
DENVER AROUND 41 DEGREES,
BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENS.
WE’RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER WARM
AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES
IN PLACES LIKE ALBUQUERQUE
REACHING MID TO UPPER 80.
RECORD HIGHS PRETTY HOT THERE
IN AREAS LIKE LAS VEGAS,
89 DEGREES.
DENVER, 64.
REMEMBER, WE’RE COMING OFF OF A
PRETTY SNOWY WEEKEND THERE.
>> SO THAT’S PRETTY INTERESTING
IN A LOT OF THIS HEAT
ONLY HELPING TO ENERGIZE
THE STORMS THAT WILL BE MOVING
THROUGH THE HEARTLAND BY THE
END OF THE WEEK.

ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC
NEWS LIVE.
WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE.
FIRST I’M DYING TO SAY
TO AND WE WANT TO GET STRAIGHT
TO OUR TOP STORY.
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS IN
COURT WHERE A GAG ORDER HEARING
IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW AGAINST
CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL.
PROSECUTORS ARE ALLEGING
TRUMP VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER
11 TIMES, NOW FILING
A POTENTIAL 11TH VIOLATION.
IN RELATED TO A COMMENT,
THE FORMER PRESIDENT MADE
OUTSIDE OF COURT JUST
YESTERDAY.
PROSECUTORS ARE THE JUDGE TO
HOLD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT FOR
THAT COMMENT AND OTHERS POSTED
ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL AS HIS
WEBSITE.
THE JURY WILL THEN
MORE TESTIMONY FROM FIRST
WITNESS, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER, WHO PROSECUTORS
SAY WAS THE EYES AND EARS
OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY
TO FELONY CHARGES OF FALSIFYING
RECORDS TO HIDE HUSH MONEY
PAYMENTS MADE BY HIS THEN
ATTORNEY, MICHAEL COHEN,
WHO YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN NOW.
COHEN SAYS THE MONEY WENT
TO ADULT FILM STORMY DANIELS
TO STAY QUIET ABOUT AN
ALLEGED AFFAIR TO BOOST TRUMP’S
ELECTORAL PROSPECTS IN THE 2016
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
TRUMP DENIES THAT AFFAIR
AND HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY OR
NOT GUILTY TO THE CHARGES.
LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS
EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL
PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI,
ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER
KATHERINE FAULDERS, AND ABC
NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR
BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
>> FOR MORE ON THIS, JOHN,
WHAT’S THE LATEST FROM INSIDE
COURT?
SO IT’S INTERESTING RIGHT NOW,
DIANE, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE
HAD A VERY LENGTHY PRESENTATION
BY PROSECUTORS.
THEY BROKE DOWN ALL OF THE TEN,
IN THEIR OPINION, GAG ORDER
VIOLATIONS OF FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP PREVENTED
EVIDENCE OF AN 11TH VIOLATION.
AND THEY’RE GOING TO OFFICIALLY
FILE LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
AND WERE COMMENTS FOR THE FIRST
TIME VERSUS THE OTHER TEN THAT
DONALD TRUMP MADE DIRECTLY
TO CAMERA YESTERDAY WHERE
HE SPOKE ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN,
THE PROSECUTOR, HAVE CONCLUDED.
THE DEFENSE ALSO CONCLUDED JUST
TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE PORTIONS
OF THEIR ARGUMENTS THAT WERE
MADE IN COURT.
THE DEFENSE TEAM, LED BY
TODD BLANCHE MADE THE ARGUMENT
THAT, LOOK, DONALD TRUMP HAS
THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH.
THIS IS SPEECH.
HE HAS THE RIGHT, IN THEIR
OPINION, TO RESPOND TO SOME
OF THE ATTACKS THAT SOME
OF THESE WITNESSES ALLEGEDLY
MADE DIRECTED AT DONALD TRUMP.
SO THIS IS, AGAIN, ALL COVERED
IN THEIR OPINION AS FAR AS,
YOU KNOW, FREE THEIR ARGUMENT
AND NOT A VIOLATION OF THE GAG
ORDER.
IT IS INTERESTING THAT NOW
THEY’RE IN A COURTROOM BACK AND
FORTH BETWEEN JUDGE MERCHAN
PROSECUTORS AND TODD BLANCHE.
THE JUDGE, OF COURSE, ASKING
DIRECT QUESTIONS, TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND FROM BOTH SIDES
WHAT THE VIOLATION IS IN
PROSECUTORS OPINION AND WHERE
THE DEFENSE CAN HAVE A
JUSTIFICATION FOR MOST OF IT.
IT IS INTERESTING, THERE IS A
ONE NOTE HERE WHERE THEY TALK
ABOUT TWO SYSTEMS OF JUSTICE.
THE MR. WEISSELBERG IS IN
PRISON.
MR. COHEN, AS A WITNESS TALKING
ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT
COULD BE CALLED AS PART OF THIS
TRIAL.
OF COURSE, REFERRING TO ALLEN
WEISSELBERG, THE LONGTIME CFO
OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION,
AND MICHAEL COHEN, WHO QUITE
LITERALLY IS THE STAR WITNESS
FOR PROSECUTORS IN THIS CASE.
AND WE KNOW FROM THE COMMENTS
DONALD TRUMP HAS MADE ON SOCIAL
MEDIA AND THAT POTENTIAL 11TH
VIOLATION I JUST MENTIONED
OUTSIDE OF COURT YESTERDAY.
MICHAEL COHEN IS FRONT
AND CENTER ON DONALD TRUMP’S
MIND THIS CASE.
>> BRIAN, TRUMP’S DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS ARE SAYING THAT HIS
COMMENTS ARE NOT A VIOLATION
OF A GAG ORDER, THAT HE’S
A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
THEIR POLITICAL SPEECH, THIS
IS HOW HE SPEAKS TO HIS
SUPPORTERS AND THAT HE HAS
A RIGHT TO DEFEND HIMSELF
AGAINST ALLEGATIONS.
HOW STRONG IS THAT ARGUMENT
AND HOW TRICKY DOES THIS BECOME
FOR BOTH SIDES HERE?
>> I THINK THE BEST WAY
TO ANSWER THAT IS ALMOST GOING
RIGHT TOWARDS, THE GAG ORDER,
BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT IT, LOOK
AT THE RULE, THE GAG ORDER
MAKING OR DIRECTING OTHERS
TO MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENTS
ABOUT KNOWN OR REASONABLY
FORESEEABLE WITNESSES
CONCERNING POTENTIAL
PARTICIPATION.
WHAT THE DEFENSE IS SAYING
IS THAT THIS STATEMENT
IS POLITICAL AND OUTSIDE OF THE
SCOPE.
BUT IN THE DISCUSSION OF THIS
ACTUAL GAG ORDER, THE JUDGE
ALREADY ADDRESSED THIS
AND CALLED SOME OF THE THE
THAT THE DEFENSE WAS MAKING
AS JUST SAYING FACTS THAT WERE
COBBLED TOGETHER AS A RESULT
OF ACCUSATIONS THAT ARE
DISINGENUOUS AND NOT PRESENTED
,QUOTE UNQUOTE, RATIONAL OR
FACTS.
HE’S ALREADY ADDRESSED AND HE’S
SAYING THIS DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
YOUR ABILITY TO SAY
THAT BECAUSE PERSON A SAYS
SOMETHING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP,
THAT DONALD TRUMP NO LONGER
TO ABIDE BY, THE GAG ORDER
DOESN’T FLY.
AND THAT’S WHY THIS GAG ORDER
WAS CREATED FROM THE QUESTIONS
THAT WE’RE SEEING THAT THE
JUDGE IS ASKING OF TRYING
TO CREATE THAT LINE IS WHAT
IS POLITICAL AND WHAT IS NOT.
IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE DONALD
TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS HAVE A VERY
STRONG GRASP OF WHAT IS A
POLITICAL COMMENT BASED
ON THE WORDS OR JUST A GENERAL
OVERARCHING CONCEPT AND WHAT
IS NOT.
AND IF THEY CAN’T ARTICULATE,
THAT I THINK THE JUDGE IS GOING
TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF THIS IS A
VIOLATION OF A GAG ORDER AND.
>> THIS IS WHAT I’M GOING
TO HAND DOWN.
CATHERINE, HOW HIGH ARE THE
STAKES HERE FOR THE PRESIDENT
JUST IN TERMS OF THIS HEARING,
GIVEN HE’S A
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO BE
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
RIGHT NOW, SO HE’S SORT
OF OFTEN USING THESE OUTSIDE
THE COURTROOM SPEECHES TO MAKE
POLITICAL ARGUMENTS AND TO MAKE
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THESE
CASES.
SO HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HIM
IF HE IS FOUND IN CONTEMPT HERE
AND THE DOES PUT MORE LIMITS
ON WHAT HE’S ALLOWED TO SAY?
>> WELL, LOOK I THINK HE’S MADE
VERY CLEAR FROM SPEAKING BEFORE
THAT CAMERA THAT IT’S IMPORTANT
THAT HE CAN SAY WHATEVER WANTS
WHEN HE FEELS LIKE IT.
BUT THERE IS A GAG ORDER
IN PLACE AND HE DOES HAVE TO
ABIDE BY THAT.
SO, LOOK, WE DON’T TOTALLY KNOW
WHAT THE JUDGE WILL END UP IF
HE PUTS, TO YOUR POINT,
MORE RESTRICTIONS ON THAT.
IF HE BROADENS OUT HERE.
BUT THIS GAG ORDER ALREADY
COVERS WITNESSES AND PEOPLE
LIKE MICHAEL.
THAT IS WHO TRUMP LIKES TO TALK
ABOUT BEFORE THAT CAMERA
THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT YESTERDAY,
WHICH WAS A VIOLATION OF THE
GAG ORDER.
SO CERTAINLY THE STAKES
ARE HIGH HERE.
I WOULD SAY THAT HIS LAWYERS
ARE CLAIMING THIS IS POLITICAL
SPEECH AND THAT HE SHOULD
BE ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT.
HE’S SAYING THIS IS WHAT
THEY’RE SAYING.
OF COURSE, PUBLICLY,
HIS LAWYERS INSIDE
THE COURTROOM, PRIVATELY,
HIS LEGAL TEAM DOESN’T WANT HIM
VIOLATING THE GAG ORDER.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY’VE
BEEN WORRIED ABOUT SINCE
THE BEGINNING.
THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING
THAT THEY EXPECT THAT HE
PROBABLY WILL STILL VIOLATE.
OF COURSE, ONCE HE GETS IN OF
THAT CAMERA, THEY CAN’T REALLY
CONTROL WHAT HE SAYS TO THE
PUBLIC AND THEY CAN’T CONTROL
WHAT HE POSTS ON HIS SOCIAL
MEDIA PLATFORM.
SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE
WHAT HAPPENS HERE.
AND IF THE JUDGE BROADENS IT
OUT, I’M OBVIOUSLY WANT HIM
TO BE FINED FOR THOSE
THREE ORIGINAL THREE SOCIAL
POSTS THAT THEY BROUGHT UP.
BUT AGAIN, THIS IS STILL
AND I’M WATCHING THE NOTES COME
OUT OF COURT RIGHT NOW.
IT’S TURNING A LITTLE BIT TENSE
,TRUMP’S LAWYERS AND THE
JUDGE.
AND WE’LL ULTIMATELY SEE WHAT,
THE JUDGE HAS TO SAY.
>> AND JOHN, A LOT OF THE
DEFENSE IS ARGUMENT IS THAT
TRUMP IS DEFENDING HIMSELF.
>> DEFENDING HIMSELF AGAINST
WHAT?
WELL, ACCORDING
TO JUDGE MERCHAN ON THE QUOTE,
YOU HAVE PRESENTED NOTHING.
AND WHAT THE JUDGE IS TRYING
TO PUSH THEM ON, AS CATHERINE
IS JUST NOTING, THEY ARE TRYING
TO GET EVIDENCE FROM
THE DEFENSE TEAM DONALD
TRUMP SAYING HE’S RESPONDING
THEM.
SHOW ME THE RECORD.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU’RE RESPONDING
TO.
THE JUDGE JUST SAID IN COURT,
ACCORDING TO OUR
PETER CHARALAMBOUS QUOTE,
I HAVE ASKED EIGHT OR
NINE TIMES SHOW MEETINGS ACT
POST HE WAS RESPONDING TO THE
JUDGE AGAIN SAYING YOU HAVE
PRESENTED NOTHING AND, THAT YOU
CAN DEFINITELY FEEL THAT EVEN
WE’RE NOT PHYSICALLY IN COURT,
BUT JUST FROM THE LANGUAGE
AND THE BACK AND FORTH,
HOW QUICKLY THEY’RE, YOU KNOW,
BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH, THESE
ARGUMENTS THAT THE TEMPERATURE
IS DEFINITELY RISING IN COURT.
NOW.
WE HAVEN’T SEEN A SITUATION
WHERE THE JUDGE HAS MADE
A RULING.
THERE HAVE BEEN CONVERSATIONS
OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE DONALD
TRUMP TAKES THE STAND.
YOU I SPOKE ABOUT THAT
A LITTLE EARLIER AGO, BRIAN.
SO THAT’S SOMETHING OUR TEAM
IS WAITING FOR RIGHT NOW.
IF THAT HAPPENS,
WE’LL OBVIOUSLY LET YOU KNOW.
BRIAN, LEGALLY, WHY IS THAT SO
IMPORTANT WHETHER OR NOT HE IS
RESPONDING TO SOMETHING SOMEONE
ELSE SAID, IF HE IS JUST
CHOOSING TO CRITICIZE IT,
I THINK THE JUDGE IS GOING DOWN
THE RABBIT HOLE WITH.
THE DEFENSE IN A SENSE.
OKAY, THIS IS YOUR ARGUMENT.
OKAY.
I’LL FOLLOW YOU.
LET’S LET’S GO DOWN
THAT JOURNEY TOGETHER.
AND IF IT GETS A POINT WHERE
YOU CAN’T GET PAST THAT FIRST
LAYER, THEN THE QUESTION
BECOMES, WHY ARE YOU MAKING
THIS ARGUMENT?
I DON’T THINK THE JUDGES
ENTERTAIN THE IDEA THAT,
THE RESPONSE OF DONALD TRUMP TO
SOMETHING THAT MICHAEL COHEN OR
DANIELS MIGHT HAVE SAID.
IT WOULD NOT BE A VIOLATION
OF THE GAG ORDER.
BUT I THINK HE’S EXPLORING IDEA
AND WALKING DOWN THE RABBIT
HOLE AGAIN.
BUT WE’RE SEEING IT AFTER
TWO STEPS, THE WHOLE KIND
OF ENDS.
SO CATHERINE HAD US TRUMP MOVE
FORWARD AFTER ALL OF THIS,
HOW CAREFUL DOES HE HAVE TO BE
IN THE COMMENTS THAT HE POSTS,
IN THE COMMENTS THAT HE OR DOES
HE JUST CONTINUE AS USUAL?
>> WELL, HE’S REQUIRED BY THIS
GAG ORDER TO BE CAREFUL
WITH WHAT HE SAYS.
HE’S NOT SUPPOSED TALK
ABOUT WITNESSES, PROSPECTIVE
WITNESSES, THE JUDGE’S FAMILY,
JURORS, FOR EXAMPLE.
BUT I’M NOT SURE THAT THIS
IS TOTALLY GOING TO CHANGE
THE WAY HE OPERATES.
WE’VE SEEN THIS MULTIPLE TIMES
IN VARIOUS DIFFERENT CASES.
HE’S VIOLATED GAG ORDERS
CONSISTENTLY.
SO, AGAIN, I THINK IT DEPENDS
ULTIMATELY ON WHAT THE WHAT
THE JUDGE SAYS.
IF THERE WAS ANY THREAT,
AT LEAST FROM THE JUDGE
OF PRISON TIME, AS WE’VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT.
SO I DON’T KNOW.
I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE
BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR
TRUMP NOW, HE HAS REINED IT
IN IN THE PAST A LITTLE BIT.
YOU’VE SEEN HIM COME BEFORE
THE CAMERAS AND BE
A LITTLE CAUTIOUS.
BUT THEN THE NEXT DAY, FOR
EXAMPLE, THEN HE’S TALKING
ABOUT WITNESSES.
SO YOU COULD SEE MAYBE
A LITTLE BIT OF CAUTION.
BUT I DON’T THINK THAT ANYTHING
IS GOING TO CHANGE IN TERMS
HOW OFTEN HE SPEAKS OR SPEAKING
BEFORE CAMERAS.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL
COHEN, FOR EXAMPLE, BECAUSE
HIS VIEW IS THAT IF MICHAEL
COHEN’S TALKING ABOUT ME,
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TALK
ABOUT HIM.
THAT’S JUST THE WAY HE THINKS.
SO I’M NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT
CHANGE THE WAY HE OPERATES,
BUT WE’LL HAVE TO SEE.
ULTIMATELY, THE RESULT.
>> THIS HEARING.
NOW, ONCE THIS HEARING IS IS
DONE AND IT CAN END A NUMBER
OF WAYS, YOU COULD BE FOUND
IN CONTEMPT, YOU COULD NOT
BE FOUND IN CONTEMPT OR
THE JUDGE CAN, IF FOUND
IN CONTEMPT, CAN AWARD HIM
ANYTHING FROM A FINE,
A WARNING, EVEN TO JAIL TIME.
SO OF COURSE, WE’LL JUST WAIT
AND SEE THAT PLAYS OUT.
>> BUT THEN ONCE THIS PART
OF THE HEARING IS OVER, WE MOVE
BACK TO THE GENERAL TRIAL,
WHERE WE’RE GOING TO HEAR
TESTIMONY AGAIN FROM THAT FIRST
WITNESS.
THE PROSECUTION HAS
CALLED DAVID PECKER, THE FORMER
PUBLISHER OF THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER", LONGTIME
FRIEND OF DONALD TRUMP’S.
BRIAN, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
TO HEAR FROM PECKER TODAY?
BECAUSE THE PROSECUTION
IS ALLEGING THAT PECKER WASN’T
JUST A FRIEND, WASN’T JUST
HIS JOB, YOU KNOW, AS THE
PUBLISHER OF THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER", BUT WAS
ACTING THE EYES AND EARS OF THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN BUYING STORIES
NOT TO PUBLISH THEM, BUT TO
THEM FOR THE SAKE OF THIS
ELECTION?
>> I THINK FOR THE PROSECUTION
WE’RE GOING TO GET THE INS
AND OUTS OF THAT CONSPIRACY
AS THEY ALLEGE IT TO BE, THAT A
GROUP OF MEN BEING PECKER.
COHEN AND DONALD TRUMP ALL CAME
TOGETHER.
AND WHAT THIS CATCH AND KILL
PLAN, AS WELL AS A PLAN
TO BRING IN POPULAR OR
BENEFICIAL ARTICLES OF DONALD
TRUMP AND THEN NEGATIVE ONES
OF HIS OPPONENTS.
AND WE’LL WALK THROUGH THAT IS
A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, SO
TO SPEAK, A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY
AS THE PROSECUTION ARGUING.
AND THE DEFENSE WILL PUSH
BACK ON THAT, TRYING TO ARGUE
THAT THIS IS JUST BUSINESS
AS USUAL.
AND, JOHN, YOU SAY WE’RE NOW
HEARING THAT THE JUDGE IS
REALLY HE DID VIOLATE
THE EVIDENCE.
>> IT APPEARS THAT WAY.
SO THE JUDGE JUST SAID YOU’RE
LOSING CREDIBILITY WITH THE
COURT.
HE HAD SEEMS AS THOUGH HE HAS
FOUND TRUMP IN CONTEMPT OF THE
GAG ORDER.
WE’RE WAITING TO SEE WHAT THAT
LOOKS LIKE.
IT’S COMING IN REALLY RAPID
FIRE FROM THE TEAM THAT HE’S
PUSHING THEM FOR MORE ARGUMENTS
.
SO I THINK THAT’S JUST HOLD FOR
A SECOND BECAUSE YOU KNOW
THAT HE’S STILL RUNNING THROUGH
IT.
BUT IT IS INTERESTING TO SAY
TO LOOK AT DONALD TRUMP AND
HIS LAWYERS AND SAY YOU ARE
LOSING ALL CREDIBILITY OF THIS
COURT FOR THE NUMBER OF TIMES,
IN THEIR OPINION SO FAR AS
THAT SEEM THAT THE PROSECUTORS
ESSENTIALLY ARGUING THAT THEY
HAVE VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER.
AND AGAIN, GOING BACK TO THE
POINT THAT CATHERINE WERE JUST
MAKING, THAT IT DOES NOT APPEAR
THAT THEY HAD ANY EVIDENCE
TO SUPPORT IT.
SO, AGAIN, IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE
WE’RE GETTING TO A RULING JUST
YET, BUT BUILDING UP TO THAT,
THAT THE JUDGE IS REALLY,
REALLY BEING VERY, VERY TOUGH.
RIGHT ON THE DEFENSE TEAM.
>> BRIAN, WHAT DOES THE JUDGE
HAVE TO CONSIDER AND HOW
HE RULES THIS HEARING?
SO THE JUDGE HAS TO CONSIDER
THE ELEMENTS OF THE GAG ORDER,
WHAT IS A POTENTIAL VIOLATION
AND WHAT THIS CASE IS GOING
TO LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD
AND TRY TO PIECE THROUGH
SOME OF THE NOTES THAT JOHN
IS LOOKING AT AS WELL.
I THINK THE ISSUE
ABOUT CREDIBILITY IS THAT
THE PROSECUTION A VERY LONG
OPPORTUNITY TO LAY OUT
WHAT THEY THOUGHT
THE VIOLATIONS WERE, AND SO DID
MR. BLANCH.
BUT IN HIS LAYING OUT OF HIS
ARGUMENTS, THE JUDGE
CONTINUALLY ASKED HIM, OKAY,
SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE, SHOW ME
WHY HE’S RESPONDING.
SHOW ME HOW THIS IS GOING
AND COULD NOT GIVE AN ANSWER OR
A RESPONSE.
AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT THE
JUDGE IS GETTING LIKE,
YOU’RE LOSING CREDIBILITY.
YOU’RE MAKING ARGUMENT AND IT
SEEMS TO BE A CHAIR WITH ONLY
A SINGLE LEG ON IT.
ONE ARE THE OTHER THREE AND
THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY COULDN’T
FIND THEM.
THAT’S NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE.
BUT JUST BECAUSE WE LOSE AN FOR
A CONTEMPT OF COURT COURT, IT
DOESN’T MEAN AS A DEFENSE
ATTORNEY, IT DOESN’T MEAN
THAT THE JUDGE CAN’T THEN SAY,
YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK HE MAY
HAVE VIOLATED, BUT I’M GOING
TO HOLD OFF ON ANY KIND
OF SERIOUS PUNISHMENT.
COULD SAY I’M NOT GOING TO FIND
IN CONTEMPT A FINE OF $2,000 OR
JUST GIVE ME A STRONG REPRIMAND
.
SO IT’S NOT NECESSARILY A LOSS,
SO TO SPEAK, BUT THAT DOESN’T
LOOK GOOD, CATHERINE, THIS
IS ALL COMING AMID THE BIG
QUESTION OF WHETHER NOT
TRUMP HIMSELF WILL TAKE
THE STAND.
YESTERDAY, THE JUDGE RULED IF
HE DOES, HE COULD BE ASKED
ABOUT OTHER CASES.
BUT I WONDER IF THIS QUESTION
OF VIOLATING GAG ORDERS AND THE
FACT THAT JUST YESTERDAY,
DESPITE NOT BEING ALLOWED
TO MENTION FORMER WITNESSES
IN THIS TRIAL, HE WENT AHEAD
AND CRITICIZED MICHAEL COHEN.
NOW THE PROSECUTORS ARE SAYING
THEY MAY FILE AN 11TH GAG ORDER
VIOLATION REQUEST.
HOW DOES THIS ALL FACTOR IN?
COULD THIS AFFECT
THAT CONVERSATION OF WHETHER OR
NOT TRUMP SHOULD TAKE THE STAND
AND WILL TAKE THE STAND IF
HIS ATTORNEYS ARE FINDING
THAT THEY CAN’T EVEN REIN HIM
IN IN TERMS THESE GAG ORDERS?
DIANE, IT’S A REALLY
GOOD QUESTION HERE BECAUSE
RIGHT.
IF HE’S SPEAKING BEFORE
THE CAMERAS, THEN WHY IS HE
GOING TO ACT ANY DIFFERENTLY
ON THE WITNESS STAND?
I THINK THE GENERAL OPERATING
THEORY INSIDE TRUMP’S LEGAL
TEAM IS THAT IF HE’S ON
THE STAND, HE’S UNDER OATH.
MAYBE HE CAN BE REINED IN MORE.
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE EVIDENCE
IS WEAK HERE, SO WHY SHOULDN’T
HE TAKE THE STAND?
IT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE
IN PREVIOUS TIMES WHERE
TRUMP HAS SAID PUBLICLY,
WHETHER IT BE WHEN HE PRESIDENT
DURING SPECIAL COUNSEL
INVESTIGATIONS, ANY OTHER
INVESTIGATIONS WHERE HE SAID
PUBLICLY THAT HE WANTS
TO TESTIFY.
MOST TIMES YOU HAVE HIS LEGAL
TEAM BEHIND THE SCENES SAYING,
YOU KNOW, WE DON’T THINK THAT’S
A GOOD IDEA.
HIS LAWYERS AREN’T DOING
THAT HERE.
THEY’RE NOT DISCOURAGING HIM
IN THIS CASE FROM TAKING
THE STAND.
NOW, I THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT.
FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE SPECIAL
COUNSEL INVESTIGATIONS
ON JANUARY SIX AND
THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
BUT THEY’RE NOT ADVISING HIM
AGAINST TESTIFYING HERE.
I STILL REALLY DO THINK
THAT YOU COULD SEE
TRUMP ULTIMATELY TAKE THE STAND
.
NOW, HOW IF HE ACTS DIFFERENTLY
FROM WHAT HE’S SAYING IN THE
THAT’S REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
BUT I DON’T THINK INTERNALLY
LEAST THERE’S ANYBODY REALLY
ADVISING HIM AGAINST IT AT THIS
POINT.
>> AND WE’RE NOW HEARING
THEY’RE TAKING A BREAK
IN COURT.
JOHN.
HOW DO THEY MOVE THINGS UP FOR
THE MOMENT?
THE WAY THAT THINGS LEFT OFF
IS THE JUDGE REALLY ADMONISHED
TODD BLANCHE AND TRUMP’S LEGAL
TEAM SAYING THAT YOU’RE NOT
GIVING ME ANYTHING TO HANG
MY HAT ON.
OF COURSE, REFERENCING THAT THE
TRUMP TEAM, IN HIS OPINION, DID
NOT ANY EVIDENCE TO SAY,
YOU KNOW, THEIR ARGUMENT
THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS
RESPONDING TO WITNESSES,
WHAT WAS HE EXACTLY RESPONDING
TO?
HE IS NOT WORLD COURT’S GOING
TO RECONVENE AT 11.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THAT.

SEVERAL MORE MONTHS.
PRODUCTION OF LOW STARTER DOSES

HARDER TIME FINDING IT.
ABC NEWS JANAI NORMAN HAS MORE.
>> IT HAS NOW EFFECTIVELY
THE REPORTING SHORTAGES
OF POPULAR WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS
ARE DEEP AS PATIENTS SCRAMBLE
FILL PRESCRIPTIONS.
>> RIGHT NOW IT’S KIND OF AN
EASTER EGG HUNT FOR PATIENTS
WHO TAKE THESE.

DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING UP.
>> IT’S A VERY TOUGH TIME.
THE FDA REPORTING LOSS
MEDICATION ZEP BOUND HAS
LIMITED AVAILABILITY, ALL DOSES
EXCEPT FOR ONE THROUGH JUNE.
ANOTHER POPULAR DRUG.
BUT GOBY ALSO EXPERIENCING
SHORTAGES ON ALL BUT ONE DOSE

INCREASES.

DIANE JANAI NORMAN, YOU.
AND ABC NEWS INVESTIGATION
IS LOOKING INTO WHERE THOUSANDS
OF PLASTIC BAGS EARMARKED
BE RECYCLE CAN ACTUALLY END UP.
CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT
MATT GUTMAN HAS THAT STORY.
>> IN OUR EARTH WEEK SERIES,
THE POWER OF US.
>> AND WE’RE
ABC NEWS INVESTIGATION SHINING
A LIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME
ON HOW SOME OF THE PLASTIC BAGS
EARMARKED FOR RECYCLING
AT WAL-MARTS IN THE U.S. ENDED
UP 9000 MILES AWAY IN SOUTHEAST
ASIA.
IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE
AND UNETHICAL TO BE EXPORTING
PLASTIC WASTE TO OTHER
COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT HAVE A
RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE SET UP
TO HANDLE THIS.
>> THE PLASTIC WASTE TRADE
IS PART OF A COMPLEX SYSTEM
THAT THE SAYS IS TOO OFTEN
PLAGUED BY ILLEGALITY.
AS PART OF AN 18 MONTH
INVESTIGATION, WE PUT TRACKERS
INTO, PLASTIC BAGS EARMARKED
FOR RECYCLING AND DROPPED THEM
OFF AT 46 MAJOR RETAIL STORES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
A MAJORITY OF THE BAGS ENDED UP
IN LANDFILLS OR INCINERATORS,
BUT THREE OF THE 19 TRACKERS
DROPPED OFF AT WAL-MART STORES
ENDED UP IN SOUTHEAST ASIA,
TWO OF THEM IN MALAYSIA, NOT
FAR WHERE POOL THEY PAY LIVES.
>> WE WANT TO LET PEOPLE WHO
CAME DOWN WITH THE MOTIVATION
KNOW WE NEED YOUR HELP.
>> FOR OVER A YEAR, WAL-MART’S
SAID THEY WERE WILLING TO TALK
BUT NEVER MADE ANYONE AVAILABLE
FOR AN INTERVIEW.
>> SO WE DECIDED TO ATTEND
A CONFERENCE WHERE THE CHIEF
SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER WAS
SPEAKING.
HI, MR. COCHRAN.
I’M MATT GUTMAN WITH ABC NEWS.
HOW ARE YOU?

WE ARE DOING A STORY

INSTEAD, THEY PROVIDED
A STATEMENT THAT SAID IN PART,
WE STRIVE TO DO THE RIGHT
THING, NOTING WHILE
THEIR PROGRAM ISN’T PERFECT, IT
PROVIDES RECYCLING ACCESS TO
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
THEY SAID THEY ARE
TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING
THEIR RECYCLING, INCLUDING
NEW CONTRACTS REQUIRING
COMPANIES PROVE COLLECTED
MATERIALS ARE RECYCLED AS MUCH
AS PRACTICABLE.

WE WANT GET STRAIGHT TO OUR
TOP STORY.
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS IN
COURT WHERE A GAG ORDER HEARING
HAS NOW CONCLUDED IN HIS
CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL.
PROSECUTORS TRUMP VIOLATED
THE GAG ORDER TEN TIMES AND ARE
NOW FILING A POTENTIAL 11TH
VIOLATION AFTER THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TALKED ABOUT KEY
WITNESS, MICHAEL COHEN,
YESTERDAY OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM
.
>> AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING
TO LOOK AT?
ALL THE LIES THAT FOLLOW
THAT IN THE LAST WEEK LYING
IN THE RESTAURANT.
>> SO HE GETS CAUGHT, I’M SURE
THE JUDGE TOLD TRUMP’S DEFENSE
TEAM THAT A LACK OF EVIDENCE
IS CAUSING THEM TO LOSE
CREDIBILITY WITH THE COURT,
BUT DIDN’T ISSUE A RULING IF
THE JUDGE JUST FIND TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT, IT COULD GIVE THE
FORMER PRESIDENT ANYTHING FROM
A WARNING TO JAIL TIME.
NOW THE CASE WILL MOVE ON TO
TESTIMONY WHERE FIRST WITNESS
FORMER "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
PUBLISHER DAVID PECKER
WILL RETURN TO THE STAND.
PROSECUTORS SAY HE, COHEN
AND TRUMP WERE INVOLVED IN A
SCHEME TO CATCH AND KILL
POTENTIALLY STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP TO PROTECT
HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY
TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS
TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT
TO ADULT FILM.
ACTRESS STORMY DANIELS BEFORE
THE 2016 ELECTION AND ABC NEWS
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
OLIVIA RUBIN HAS BEEN INSIDE
THAT COURT ALL MORNING.
SHE JOINS US NOW OUTSIDE
THE COURTHOUSE, ALONG WITH ABC
NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL
PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI AND ABC
NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR
BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
OLIVIA, THERE WERE SOME TENSE
DURING THIS HEARING.
THERE WERE THIS HEARING WAS
TENSE.
DIANE IT WAS QUITE COMBATIVE
AND IT WAS HONESTLY A BIT OF A
DIFFICULT ONE FOR TRUMP’S
ATTORNEY.
TODD BLANCHE, WHO, AS YOU
SAID IN YOUR OPEN THERE,
STRUGGLED PUTTING FORWARD FOR
THE CLAIMS HE WAS MAKING
ABOUT WHY DONALD TRUMP WAS NOT
VIOLATING THE GAG ORDER
IN THEIR VIEW, AND WAS MERELY
JUST RESPONDING TO ATTACKS OR
ATTACKING WITNESSES IN THE
CASE, BUT NOT RELATED TO THE
ABOUT OTHER ASPECTS WHICH
IN THEIR VIEW, THEY SAID WOULD
NOT A VIOLATION OF THE GAG
ORDER, BUT JUAN MERCHAN
THE JUDGE REALLY NOT SEEMING
TO BUY ANY OF THE ARGUMENTS
THAT TODD BLANCHE WAS PUTTING.
HE SAID, YOU’RE NOT GIVING ME
ANY CASE LAW, YOU’RE NOT
ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS.
IN SOME HE SAID, YOU ARE GIVING
ME NOTHING TO HANG MY HAT
ON AND ADDS, AND THAT
THAT QUOTE YOU HAD ON WHERE
HE SAID YOU’RE LOSING CAN
YOUR CREDIBILITY WITH THE COURT
JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME SORT
OF CONTEXT AROUND
THAT JUDGE MERCHAN BASICALLY
GAVE TODD BLANCHE ONE LAST
OPPORTUN D AND SAID, IS THERE
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO GIVE
ME HERE BEFORE WE WRAP THIS
HEARING?
AND TODD SORT OF LAUNCHED THIS
SPEECH BASICALLY SAYING
HOW THEY’RE DEALING WITH TEN
POSTS AND HE SAID THAT DONALD
TRUMP HAS TRIED EVERYTHING
AND IS WORKING VERY HARD
TO COMPLY WITH THE JUDGE’S
ORDER, WITH THE GAG ORDER,
AND JUST MORE TIME CUT HIM OFF.
AND HE WAS SAYING THAT AND
SAID, STOP RIGHT THERE.
YOU ARE LOSING ALL CREDIBILITY
WITH THE COURT.
YOU ARE LOSING CREDIBILITY
WITH THE RIGHT NOW
AND BASICALLY CONCLUDED
THE HEARING RIGHT THEN
AND THERE AND AS YOU SAID,
HE DID NOT ISSUE A RULING.
BUT IF YOU WERE TO GO BASED
EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID IN
THE COURTROOM JUST NOW,
YOU CANNOT IMAGINE THAT THIS
IS GOING TO BE A GOOD RULING
FOR DONALD TRUMP.
AND AS OLIVIA MENTIONED,
THE JUDGE HAS DECIDED NOT
TO RULE FROM THE BENCH ON THIS.
SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN TERMS
OF THIS POTENTIAL CONTEMPT
RULING AND THIS GAG ORDER?
>> SO THE OPPOSITE OF RULING
FROM THE BENCH IS AN ACTUAL
DECISION.
YOU LOOK TO THE CALENDAR THAT’S
COMING UP THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THE JUDGE, WE KNOW THAT HE HAS
A COURT CALENDAR ON WEDNESDAY
AND THEN BACK TO COURT FOR THIS
TRIAL ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
SOMEBODY SOONER AT SOME POINT
IN TIME.
WE’RE TO GET A WRITTEN
DECISION.
AND I THINK WHAT WE’RE GOING
TO HEAR IS HOW THE JUDGE
IS TRYING TO COMPEL THE ACTIONS
OF DONALD TRUMP TO CONFORM
TO THAT OF THE GAG ORDER.
AND HE’S GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT KIND OF PUNISHMENT WILL DO
THAT, WHETHER IT BE A $1,000
FINE AS WHAT THE PROSECUTION
IS FOR OR UNDER THE JUDICIARY
CODE WHEN IT COMES TO CONTEMPT
OF ORDER, POTENTIAL DAYS
OF JAIL.
NOW, THAT OPTION IS THERE,
BUT I DON’T THINK WE’RE GOING
TO BE IN THE REALM OF JAIL
TIME.
I THINK IT’S GOING TO STICK
FIRMLY TOWARDS SOME KIND
OF FINE OR A VERY HARSH TONGUE
LASHING, SO TO SPEAK JOHN, WE
WERE WATCHING THIS VIDEO
MOMENTS AGO, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT LEAVING,
THE COURTROOM, OFTEN WHEN
HE LEAVES, HE STOPS THAT.
HE TALKS TO THE CAMERAS.
THIS TIME A BACKWARDS WAVE
AND OUT THE DOOR HE TELLS YOU,
SKEDADDLE AND DON’T TALK TO A
CAMERA, BECAUSE CLEARLY WE GOT
IN TROUBLE BY DOING THAT.
AND THAT’S EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED.
COURT YOU, OLIVIA AND THE TEAM
WERE NOTING EARLIER THAT IT WAS
THOSE COMMENTS THAT DONALD
TRUMP MADE OUTSIDE OF COURT
YESTERDAY ON MICHAEL COHEN
THAT ADDED TO NOW A POTENTIAL
11TH VIOLATION OF THE GAG ORDER
AND.
LISTEN, DONALD TRUMP CLEARLY
WHEN HE GETS CAUGHT PUTTING OWN
FOOT IN HIS MOUTH, GETS ANNOYED
ABOUT IT.
RIGHT.
I MEAN, HE DOESN’T WANT TO HAVE
A SITUATION WHERE SOMEBODY
IS DOING A READ BACK ON
HIS COMMENT SAYING YOU CAN’T
THIS, YOU CAN’T DO THAT.
AND CLEARLY, THAT’S EXACTLY
WHAT PROSECUTORS IN COURT.
AND I DO THINK THE PART OF IT,
THOUGH, DONALD TRUMP NEVER
ADMITTED IT DOES PLAY INTO
WHAT HIS AIDES ALLIES HAVE BEEN
SAYING BEHIND THE SCENES, WHICH
IS YOU GOT TO COOL IT, YOU GOT
TO BACK OFF.
AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY,
TRUMP IS REALLY WALKING
A TIGHTROPE HERE BECAUSE THOUGH
LEGALLY IT’S NOT GOOD FOR HIM
POLITICALLY, HE’S GOT TO LEAN
INTO IT BECAUSE
THE ONLY ARGUMENT HE HAS
RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE HE CAN’T
GET OUT THERE AND TALK
ABOUT ANY OF THE ISSUES BECAUSE
OF WHERE HE’S STUCK.
>> AND LET’S ABOUT THAT BECAUSE
PROSECUTORS TODAY IN COURT
SAID THEY ARE NOT YET SEEKING
JAIL TIME FOR ANY OF THESE GAG
ORDER VIOLATIONS, THOUGH
THEY COULD, BUT THEY SAID THEY
THINK TRUMP IS ACTUALLY ANGLING
FOR THAT.
WHY THERE’S NO REASON TO THINK.
>> YOU JUST LOOK AT THE EMAIL
BLAST TO SUPPORTERS YESTERDAY
SAYING THEY WANT TO PUT ME
IN JAIL, THEY WANT TO KEEP ME
HERE.
DONALD TRUMP IS LEANING IN HEAD
FIRST TO ALL OF THIS, RIGHT.
TRYING TO BUILD UP THE DRAMA,
BUILD UP THE INTENSITY.
AND THAT REALLY IS AND HAS BEEN
THE CAMPAIGN STRATEGY FOR 2024.
LOOK AT TIME DONALD TRUMP WENT
TO A COURTHOUSE OR IN ONE CASE,
A JAILHOUSE IN THE FULTON
COUNTY, GEORGIA, CASE LAST
YEAR, LEANING INTO RELEASING
THE MUG SHOT FROM FULTON
COUNTY.
ALL OF THIS IS TO BUILD UP
THE DRAMA THAT DONALD TRUMP, NO
MATTER WHAT, WOULD RATHER
BE OUT.
HE MENTIONED PENNSYLVANIA TODAY
BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE A PRIMARY
IS HAPPENING TODAY.
THAT’S WHERE DONALD
TRUMP CLAIMS HE’D RATHER BE,
BUT CAN’T BE BECAUSE.
HE’S STUCK HERE BECAUSE
THEY’RE OUT TO GET ME.
HE IS OFTEN SAID THAT
I’M STANDING IN THEIR WAY
THAT THEY, IN HIS OPINION,
IS REFERRING BIDEN AND OTHERS
AND THEN IS HIS SUPPORTERS.
THAT WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS
TRYING TO BUILD IN ALL OF THESE
COMMENTS, BRIAN, THE CENTER
OF THE DEFENSE’S ARGUMENTS
TODAY WAS ESSENTIALLY THAT THIS
IS A POLITICAL THIS IS DONALD
TRUMP DEFENDING HIMSELF.
THIS IS HOW HE COMMUNICATES
WITH HIS SUPPORTERS.
HE’S A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
HE’S ENTITLED TO DO THAT.
THE JUDGE DIDN’T SEEM TO AGREE
WITH MOST OF THAT, AT LEAST
BASED ON HIS COMMENTS TO THE
DEFENSE RIGHT BEFORE HE LEFT.
BUT HOW CAREFUL DOES THE JUDGE
HAVE TO BE HERE GIVEN HE IS
DEALING WITH A CURRENT
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?
>> HE HAS TO BE VERY CAREFUL
IN TERMS THE PUNISHMENT
THAT HE’S GOING TO HAND DOWN.
I KNOW THAT IN TRUTH, SOCIAL
AND CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG
HERE, DONALD TRUMP COMPARED
HIMSELF TO NELSON MANDELA.
TALK TO YOUR MEDIA TRYING
TO PUSH THAT LIKE I AM
BEING POLITICALLY PERSECUTED.
I’M WILLING TO GO TO JAIL FIRST
AND FOREMOST.
VASTLY DIFFERENT SITUATION
TO NELSON MANDELA AND DONALD.
>> I THINK HE SHOULD GO LEARN
HIS HISTORY THERE.
BUT I DON’T THINK JUDGE IS
GOING TO BE THINKING I’M GOING
TO HOLD HIM IN CONTEMPT
OF COURT AND PUT HIM IN JAIL
FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME.
I THINK IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN.
IT IS GOING TO BE HERE IS THE
REASON WHY I DID THIS.
AND I THINK WHEN A JUDGE SAYS
YOU’RE NOT DOING ANYTHING
TO HANG MY HAT ON,
HE’S BASICALLY SAYING, I WANT
YOU TO GIVE ME SOME KIND
OF LEGAL ARGUMENT THAT I CAN
POINT TO WHEN I WRITE THIS
DECISION TO SAYS, THIS IS WHY
YOU’RE RIGHT.
WHAT IF THE OTHER SIDE GIVES
HIM SOMETHING TO HANG MY HAT
ON AND YOU DO NOT BUT ONLY
DECISION I CAN GIVE.
PROSECUTOR LAID THIS OUT.
PROSECUTOR APPROVED IT.
DEFENSE LAID IT OUT.
>> DEFENSE THEY DIDN’T PROVE
IT.
I RULE ON THE SIDE THAT DID.
>> AND OLIVIA WHEN WE COME
BACK, SINCE THE JUDGE OPTED NOT
TO RULE ON THIS HEARING.
WE COME BACK NOW TO THE
TESTIMONY PORTION OF THIS
TRIAL.
DAVID PECKER, THE FORMER
PUBLISHER FOR
"THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER", LONG
TIME TRUMP FAN, LONGTIME
TRUMP FRIEND EXCUSE ME,
IS RETURNING THE WITNESS
STAND REALLY ANY MINUTE NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING TO HEAR
FROM HIM?
WELL, HE’S GOING TO HAVE
ABOUT 3 HOURS ON THE STAND
TODAY.
YESTERDAY, HE ONLY HAD ABOUT 20
MINUTES TO SORT OF LAY OUT
WHO HE WAS FOR THE JURY.
HE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
HOW HE RAN
"THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER", THIS
MODE OF CHECKBOOK JOURNALISM,
BASICALLY BUYING STORIES
THAT THEY WERE GOING
TO PUBLISH.
AND HE SPOKE ABOUT HOW HE WAS
THE ONE THAT WOULD APPROVE
WHAT STORIES WENT OUT AND WHAT
STORIES DID NOT.
AND THE ULTIMATE PUBLISHING
DECISION AND THE REASON THAT’S
SO CRUCIAL AS OF TODAY, HE CAN
GET INTO THE SUBSTANCE OF HIS
TESTIMONY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE
ABOUT HOW HE ALLEGEDLY WORKED
WITH DONALD TRUMP’S ATTORNEY,
MICHAEL COHEN, TO CATCH
KILL STORIES THAT WERE NEGATIVE
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP SO THAT THEY
WOULD NOT COME OUT AND HOW
HE HELPED FACILITATE
THAT $130,000 PAYMENT TO STORMY
DANIELS.
SO SHE WOULD NOT TELL
HER STORY.
AND HE IS THE FIRST WITNESS
THAT WE’RE HEARING FROM DIANE.
IN THIS CASE, THOUGH, YOU HAVE
TO IMAGINE THAT HE’S GOING
TO BE SORT A STORYTELLER FOR
THE JURY.
AND I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT
HIS DEMEANOR YESTERDAY, DIANE,
WAS QUITE INTERESTING WHEN
HE TOOK THE STAND, BECAUSE
REMEMBER, HE WALKED RIGHT BY
IN THAT COURTROOM, OLD FRIEND
DONALD TRUMP, AND TOOK
THE WITNESS STAND WITH A HUGE
SMILE ON HIS FACE.
SO IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING
TO SEE HOW PLAYS OUT IN THAT
COURTROOM TODAY WITH DONALD
TRUMP LIKELY EYEING HIS OLD
FRIEND WHILE HE TESTIFIES.
AND JOHN, WITHIN THAT DYNAMIC,
THERE’S ALSO THE OF YOU KNOW,
WE’VE HEARD MICHAEL COHEN TALK
ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
WE’VE HEARD STORMY DANIELS TALK
ABOUT THIS CASE, THIS ISSUE.
DAVID PECKER HAS NEVER
ADDRESSED THIS CASE UNTIL.
NOW, HOW SIGNIFICANT IS IT FOR
HIM TO NOW BE ON THE STAND,
FACE TO FACE WITH, DONALD
TRUMP WELL, IN SOME WAYS
I’M SHOCKED THAT THESE WORDS
IN MY MOUTH, IT’S KIND
OF DEVASTATING FOR DONALD
TRUMP, RIGHT.
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IN SOME WAYS
YOU KNEW MICHAEL COHEN,
YOU KNEW STORMY DANIELS,
KNEW OTHERS THAT HAD A TURN
AROUND AND WRITTEN BOOKS OR,
YOU KNOW, HAVE BECOME TV
COMMENTATORS NOW ATTACKING HIM.
DAVID PECKER IS ONE OF THE VERY
FEW PEOPLE IN THIS SAGA THAT IS
NOT SOMEONE THAT IS STILL
A FRIEND TO ME, OLIVIA NOTED.
JUST THE BODY LANGUAGE IN TWO
OF THEM YESTERDAY.
>> IT’S GOING TO BE HARD
YOU KNOW, WE REALLY DIDN’T
GET INTO THIS YESTERDAY BECAUSE
OF SUCH A LIMITED AMOUNT
OF TIME.
>> WE WE CAUGHT WRAPPING EARLY.
WE JUST GOT INTO THE BASICS
NAME DATE, OCCUPATION, BIRTH
DATE, ALL OF THAT STUFF.
WE REALLY DIDN’T GET INTO
THE OF THE CASE.
SO WHEN WE GAVEL IN AND
GET GOING SHORTLY, WE’RE GOING
TO HEAR ALL IN.
QUITE UNFORTUNATELY FOR DONALD
TRUMP, IT’S GOING TO BE HARD
TO HEAR A FRIEND AND A LONG
TIME ALLY OF HIS STILL ON THAT,
SAID BRIAN, THE DEFENSE
IS EXPECTED TO ONE THAT THIS
WASN’T ILLEGAL FOR A NUMBER
OF REASONS, BUT ONE OF THE
ANGLES THEY’RE EXPECTED TO TAKE
IS THAT DONALD TRUMP, AS THEY
SAID IN OPENING STATEMENTS,
HE’S A MAN.
HE’S NOT JUST THE PRESIDENT.
HE’S NOT JUST A GUY ON.
TV HE’S A MAN WITH A FAMILY
AND A WIFE.
SO HOW HARD IS IT TO BE FOR
THE PROSECUTION TO PROVE, EVEN
IF THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND PROVE
THAT THIS SCHEME HAPPENED,
BUT THAT THE INTENT WAS
TO PROTECT HIS STATUS AS A
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
AND INFLUENCE THE ELECTION
AND NOT TO PROTECT THIS MAN
FROM HAVING HIS FAMILY FIND OUT
ABOUT THESE ALLEGED AFFAIRS
AND HEAR THESE NEGATIVE
STORIES.
>> I THINK THEN COME DOWN
TO THE CONVERSATIONS
WITH PECKER AS WELL AS COHEN.
AND FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING
IN THE OPENING STATEMENTS FROM
THE PROSECUTION, SOME OF THESE
CONVERSATIONS WERE REPORTEDLY
RECORDED.
>> AND SO IT DOWN TO, OKAY, IF
THAT’S WHAT THE DEFENSE
IS ARGUING.
AND I THINK IT’S GREAT
ARGUMENT, BUT YOU GOT TO BE
ABLE TO BACK IT UP WITH ACTUAL
EVIDENCE AND NOT JUST ARGUMENTS
.
OKAY, SO WHEN PECKER TAKES
THE STAND, ARE WE GOING TO HEAR
THAT?
DONALD TRUMP CAME TO HIM
AND SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT,
I REALLY LOVE MELANIA.
I CAN’T HER HEAR ABOUT THIS.
THIS WOULD DEVASTATE
THE CHILDREN.
THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
BARRON OR ARE WE GOING TO HEAR,
NO, JUST I WANT TO WIN THIS
ELECTION.
I DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE OF THE
"ACCESS HOLLYWOOD" TAPES,
BECAUSE OF THE CONSISTENT KAREN
MCDOUGAL STORY.
NOW, STORMY DANIELS, I WANT
TO WIN THIS ELECTION.
WATCH DONALD TRUMP.
ARE WE GOING TO HEAR
THE DEFENSE COME TO THE
ARGUMENT.
>> THIS IS A MAN, A HUSBAND,
FATHER, AND THAT’S NOT
SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE.
THE SAME WAY THE JUDGE SAID,
YOU’RE LOSING CREDIBILITY.
IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN FRONT
OF THE JURY.
AND THAT CAN BE CONVERTED TIME.
>> ALL RIGHT.
OLIVIA RUBIN, JOHN SANTUCCI

TRIAL ALL DAY LONG.

FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS IN
COURT WHERE A GAG ORDER HEARING
HAS NOW CONCLUDED IN HIS
CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL.
PROSECUTORS ALLEGED TRUMP
VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER
TEN TIMES AND ARE NOW FILING
A POTENTIAL 11TH VIOLATION
AFTER TRUMP TALKED ABOUT KEY
WITNESS MICHAEL COHEN.
OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM,
THE JUDGE TOLD TRUMP’S DEFENSE
THAT A LACK OF EVIDENCE
IS CAUSING THEM TO LOSE
CREDIBILITY WITH THE COURT IF
THE TRUMP FIGHT AT THE FRONT
OF THE JUDGE FINDS TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT, HE COULD GIVE THE
FORMER PRESIDENT ANYTHING FROM
A WARNING TO JAIL TIME.
BUT NOW THE CASE WILL MOVE
ON TO TESTIMONY WHERE A FIRST
WITNESS, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER, WILL RETURN
TO THE STAND.
PROSECUTORS SAY HE, COHEN
AND TRUMP WERE INVOLVED IN A
SCHEME TO CATCH AND KILL
POTENTIALLY DAMAGING STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP TO PROTECT
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY
TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS
TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT
TO ADULT FILM ACTRESS STORMY
DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016
ELECTION.
LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS
EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL
PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI, SENIOR
REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS
AND DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR
AVERI HARPER, AS WELL AS LEGAL
CONTRIBUTOR KIM WEHLE.
>> FOR MORE.
JOHN, THERE WERE SOME TENSE
MOMENTS DURING THIS HEARING.
THE JUDGE SEEMED PRETTY HARSH
ON THE DEFENSE.
>> WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THE WAY
HE WRAPPED THIS HEARING?
FIRST OF ALL, THANK GOD IT’S
COLD IN THAT COURTROOM BECAUSE
JUDGE MERCHAN WAS THROWING HEAT
.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE.
I MEAN, REALLY WHAT WAS
STRIKING IS THAT AS THEY WERE
GOING THROUGH THE PRESENTATIONS
HERE FROM PROSECUTORS,
PROSECUTORS WENT LINE BY LINE
THROUGH EVERY SINGLE POST.
AND THAT ONE COMMENT MADE
ABOUT MICHAEL OUTSIDE OF COURT,
THE DEFENSE TEAM ASKED
TO RESPOND.
THEY SAID, WELL, WERE
RESPONDING.
DONALD TRUMP WAS RESPONDING
BECAUSE OF THESE ATTACKS.
THESE WITNESSES WERE MAKING.
AND JUDGE MERCHAN
SAID REPEATEDLY, SHOW ME
THE ATTACKS, SHOW WHAT HE WAS
RESPONDING TO.
THEY COULDN’T DO IT.
AND ONE POINT JUDGE MERCHAN
LOOKED AT TODD BLANCHE
AND SAID, YOU ARE LOSING
ALL CREDIBILITY WITH THIS
COURT.
SO REALLY TENSE, REALLY HEATED.
A LOT OF FIRE BACK AND FORTH.
NO RULING TODAY.
THE JUDGE SAID HE’S GOING
TO TAKE IT UNDER ADVISEMENT
AND WILL ISSUE A PAPER RULING
LATER THIS WEEK.
BUT IT REALLY JUST SPOKE
TO JUST HOW TENSE OF AN
ARGUMENT THESE WERE BETWEEN
PROSECUTORS, LAWYERS AND THE
JUDGE.
>> CAN ONE NOT RULE FROM
THE BENCH ON THIS?
>> AND WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT MEANS THAT THE JUDGE HAS
DECIDED TO TO WALK AWAY FOR
A SECOND AND WRITE A WRITTEN
DECISION INSTEAD?
HE PROBABLY EXPECT IT TO GO
THE WAY IT WENT.
>> AND AS JOHN INDICATED,
I THINK THERE ARE TWO AUDIENCES
HERE.
ONE IS DONALD TRUMP AND ONE IS
THE LAWYER TODD BLANCHE AND THE
JUDGE.
YOU’RE LOSING CREDIBILITY.
THAT’S KIND OF A BIG DEAL.
THAT’S NOT JUST WITH RESPECT
TO JUDGE, BUT THIS REVERBERATES
THROUGHOUT THE LEGAL PROFESSION
AND LAWYERS WHO HAVE GOTTEN
EMBROILED IN THE TRUMP WARS
HAVE LOST THEIR CREDIBILITY,
LOST THEIR LICENSES, EVEN THEN
DISBARRED.
AND WE’RE FAR, FAR FROM THAT.
BUT HE’S ESSENTIALLY TRYING
TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE
LAWYER, YOU NEED TO HELP ME
HERE TO OUT HOW TO CONTROL
THIS, BECAUSE THERE ISN’T ANY
JUSTIFICATION IT.
AND THESE SEEM TO BE
CLEAR VIOLATIONS.
MY SENSE IS THE JUDGE PROBABLY
NEEDED TO PULL THINGS TOGETHER
AND REALLY THINK, HOW DO
YOU THREAD THE NEEDLE BETWEEN
DISINCENTIVIZING THESE
VIOLATIONS, KEEPING THE PEOPLE
INVOLVED, THE JURORS
THE WITNESSES SAFE, AND ALSO
ENSURING THAT DONALD
TRUMP DOESN’T HAVE AN
APPEALABLE ISSUE AND THIS THING
DOESN’T JUST GET MORE OUT
OF CONTROL CIRCUS LIKE THAT’S
VERY IMPORTANT.
THE JUDGES IN A VERY DIFFICULT
POSITION AND SO FAR IS DOING AN
EXCELLENT JOB.
>> KIM, IF HE DOES TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT, HE HAS A NUMBER
OF OPTIONS HERE, RANGING FROM
JUST GIVING A WARNING TO GIVING
HIM JAIL TIME.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT THIS TO PLAY
OUT?
WELL, THE WARNING
IT’S UNFOLDING WITH THE WARNING
ISN’T REALLY WORKING.
>> THAT IS.
HE’S ALREADY HAD TO AMEND ORDER
ONCE TRUMP SEEMS TO BE GETTING
CUED IN SAYING THINGS LIKE,
WELL, DIDN’T REALLY POST I WAS
REPOSTING.
YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE ISN’T
BUYING OF THAT.
HE REALLY WANTS TO SEE
SOME KIND OF OUTCOME THAT’S
MEANINGFUL.
THE NEXT STEP WOULD
BE VIOLATIONS WITH SOME KIND
OF FINANCIAL PENALTY, $1,000
PER VIOLATION.
HE PROBABLY KNOWS THAT’S NOT
GOING TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON
DONALD TRUMP.
WORST CASE SCENARIO, AGAIN,
WORST CASE SCENARIO IS HE’S GOT
TO THINK ABOUT REMANDING INTO
CUSTODY, WHICH REALLY
IS INCONCEIVABLE GIVEN
HIS POSTURE AS THE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
SO MY GUESS IS HE’S HOPING
THAT TODD BLANCHE SITS DOWN
WITH THIS CLIENT AND SAYS THIS
IS NOT GOING TO GO WELL FOR US.
THERE’S A LOT OF DECISIONS THIS
JUDGE HAS TO MAKE IN THIS CASE
THAT CAN AFFECT THE NOT JUST
THE GAG ORDER, TRY TO GET HIM
UNDER CONTROL.
JOHN, WE’RE ALSO LEARNING
THAT THE SECRET SERVICE
IS PLANNING FOR THE POSSIBILITY
THAT TRUMP COULD BE HELD
IN CONTEMPT AND SERVE JAIL TIME
,AS UNLIKELY AS THAT MAY BE.
>> WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE?
I DON’T KNOW, BUT MAN, ARE THEY
HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS?
ARE AARON KATERSKY LUKE BAR
HAVE CONFIRMED THAT AS PART
OF JUST THE INITIAL
CONVERSATIONS WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT, THE SECRET SERVICE
HAD CONVERSATIONS, NYPD
AND OTHER OFFICIALS, THAT IF
JUDGE MERCHAN ENDED UP HOLDING
TRUMP IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
AND HE WAS IN CONFINEMENT FOR
SOME TIME, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK
LIKE NOW?
OBVIOUSLY, THE SECRET SERVICE
IS NOT GOING TO RESPOND
TO THAT.
BUT OFFICIALS TELL
ABC NEWS THAT, LOOK, WE
GO ANYWHERE WHERE, YOU KNOW,
PROTECTEE WOULD GO.
SO OBVIOUSLY ENGAGED THOSE
CONVERSATIONS.
WE’RE NOT GOING TO GO ANY
FURTHER THAN THAT.
BUT IT DOES JUST SPEAK TO THE
FACT THAT, YOU KNOW,
AS OBVIOUSLY ALL EYES ON THIS
COURTROOM RIGHT NOW, DIANE, IT
IS A CLEAR REALITY.
IT IS POSSIBLE, THOUGH,
UNLIKELY TO AGREE WITH KIM
ON THAT POINT.
BUT IT POSSIBLE.
THAT IS PART OF BEING HELD
IN CONTEMPT IF DONALD
TRUMP KEEPS VIOLATING THIS GAG
ORDER, THAT HE COULD IN SOME
WAY, SHAPE AND FORM BE HELD
IN CONFINEMENT.
NOW, WE SHOULD NOTE, AS PART
OF OUR TEAM’S REPORTING.
IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT AT
THIS POINT THERE HAVE BEEN NO
CONVERSATIONS THAT IF AND WHEN
WE GET TO A VERDICT IN THIS
CASE, IF DONALD TRUMP WAS TO BE
FOUND GUILTY AND, WAS SENTENCED
TO ANY TYPE OF PRISON, NO
CONVERSATIONS OF THAT WOULD
LOOK LIKE BETWEEN SECRET
SERVICE AND OTHER LAW
ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW.
AVERY, THE MIDST OF ALL THIS,
SOMETIMES YOU FORGET THAT THIS
IS NOT ONLY A FORMER PRESIDENT,
HE’S ALSO A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE.
>> AND WE SAW THAT COME INTO
COURT TODAY WITH.
HIS LAWYERS ARGUING THAT THIS
THESE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS
ARE ACTUALLY PROTECT
POLITICAL SPEECH.
HOW ARE YOU WATCHING FOR
HOW THE POLITICS ARE WEAVING
THIS CASE AND THE FACT
THAT BECAUSE TRUMP IS IN THIS
COURTROOM, HE CANNOT BE ON
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL?
>> I DON’T KNOW IF ANY OF US
HAVE FORGOTTEN, BUT IF IT IS AN
ELECTION YEAR.
AND SO WHAT WE’RE KIND
OF SEEING IS THE COURTROOM
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL BECOME
ONE IN THE SAME AS THIS COURT
CASE ONGOING.
AND THAT’S WHY WE’RE GOING
TO CONTINUE TO SEE HIS CAMPAIGN
AND HIM TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
HE THAT ALL OF THE MEDIA
IS FOLLOWING THIS PLAY BY PLAY.
HE’S NOT SOMEONE CAMERA SHY.
THAT’S WHY HE WENT AND HE
TALKED TO CAMERAS THIS MORNING
ABOUT THE FACT THAT THERE WAS
A PRIMARY CAMPAIGN.
THERE’S A PRIMARY ELECTION
GOING ON IN.
PENNSYLVANIA RIGHT NOW, A KEY
BATTLEGROUND STATE.
JUST MOMENTS AGO, WE SAW
THE CAMPAIGN SEND OUT AN EMAIL
FROM TRUMP SAYING THAT THESE
CASES THAT THE COURT IS HOLDING
HIM HOSTAGE, THAT THE COURT
CASES THAT HE’S FACING ARE A
WITCH HUNT AND AN ABSOLUTE
SHAME.
THIS IS HIM TRYING TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE TO ENCOURAGE
HIS MOST LOYAL SUPPORTERS
TO CONTINUE TO GIVE TO HIS
CAMPAIGN.
WHAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IS IF
THIS IS ACTUALLY TO EXPAND
HIS BASE IN ANY WAY.
WE ALSO HEARD THE PROSECUTION
SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT YET
SEEKING JAIL TIME FOR THESE
ALLEGED GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS,
BUT THEY BELIEVE TRUMP IS
ACTUALLY ANGLING FOR THAT.
AND ONE OF THE FUNDRAISING
EMAILS THAT WE SAW, HE’S SAYING
I COULD BE THROWN IN JAIL
AT ANY MOMENT.
TALK TO ME ABOUT THE STRATEGY
THERE.
RIGHT.
THIS IS ALL A PART OF THE
STRATEGY, WHICH IS REALLY CRUX
OF HIS CAMPAIGN, ARE TO CLAIM
THAT HE IS BEING POLITICALLY
PERSECUTED.
RIGHT.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING
TO AMP UP HIS BASE, WILL GET
FOLKS TO TURN OUT FOR HIM
AGAIN.
I THINK THAT THAT WAS IN A
PRIMARY SORT OF CAMPAIGN
POSTURE, BUT IN A GENERAL
ELECTION POSTURE, THAT’S
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO.
I DON’T NECESSARILY THINK
THAT THAT’S GOING TO EXPAND
HIS BASE EVEN WITHIN
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
THERE IS SOME ANXIETY
THAT THERE MAY BE SOME
REPUBLICANS WHO ARE NOT GOING
TO TURN OUT AND VOTE FOR HIM
IN A GENERAL SECTION BECAUSE
OF ALL OF THAT IS GOING ON WITH
THESE LEGAL CASES.
>> JOHN, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING
FOR IN TERMS OF HOW
THAT STRATEGY EVOLVES?
>> BECAUSE HE’S GOING TO BE
STUCK IN COURT FOR WEEKS
TO WEEKS AND MAYBE
A LITTLE OVER MONTH WHERE THIS
IS GOING RIGHT NOW?
I MEAN, LOOK, THE PROBLEM IS,
IS THAT ANY ME THIS POINT
EXCELLENTLY IS THAT, YOU KNOW,
LOOK, THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT
THEY HAVE QUITE FRANKLY, FROM
MY PERSPECTIVE.
THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE
THEY DON’T LOSE SUPPORT.
THESE PROCEEDINGS KEEP
ON GOING.
AND I THINK A BIG PART OF WHAT
WE’VE SEEN AND WE THINK
ABOUT THE EXIT POLLING
THAT BEGAN AT THE START OF THIS
YEAR WITH SOME OF THE EARLY
RACES, THERE WAS A VERY SMALL
PERCENTAGE, BUT NEVERTHELESS
SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF TRUMP
SUPPORTERS THAT SAID
A CONVICTION COULD CHANGE
THEIR VOTE IF DONALD TRUMP WAS
ACTUALLY CONVICTED.
HE’S NOT LOST SUPPORT THROUGH
ALL INDICTMENTS, BUT FOLKS
SAYING THAT IF HE’S FOUND
GUILTY IN ANY OF THE
FOUR CRIMINAL CASES CURRENTLY
AGAINST HIM, THAT COULD SWAY
THINGS.
CAMPAIGN IS EXTREMELY COGNIZANT
OF THAT.
AND SOURCES I’VE SPOKEN TO,
WHICH IS WHY TRYING TO FIND
A WAY TO CONSTANTLY PAINT THIS
AS TO USE DONALD TRUMP’S WORDS,
A WITCH HUNT.
THEY KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW, A DAY
LIKE, PRIMARY DAY TODAY FROM
PENNSYLVANIA.
IT’D BE GREAT IF HE WAS OUT
THERE.
HE CAN’T BE.
SO THOSE LITTLE COMMENTS
HE MADE GOING INTO COURT THIS
MORNING, THE WAY THEY’RE HAVING
SURROGATES OUT THERE
ON THE TRAIL.
THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND WAYS
AROUND, BUT THEY
ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT SITUATION
AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR
THEM TO REALLY DO WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW.
KATHERINE, PART OF TRUMP’S
STRATEGY THROUGHOUT THIS CASE
AND IN MANY OTHERS HE’S FACING
HAS BEEN TO USE THE PLATFORM
AND USE THOSE MOMENTS WHERE
THE CAMERAS ARE ON HIM ENTERING
AND LEAVING COURT TO MAKE
COMMENTS TO THE CAMERAS.
NOW WE’RE SEEING THOSE COMMENTS
MAY VERY WELL GET HIM
IN TROUBLE IN THIS TRIAL.
HOW CAREFUL DOES HE HAVE TO BE
GOING FORWARD AND HOW DOES
THAT STRATEGY EVOLVE?
WELL, IT’S A GOOD QUESTION.
HE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL
GOING FORWARD, BUT HE HAS TO BE
CAREFUL BEFORE, TOO.
AND LOOK, THERE’S REALLY NO
DEFENSE OF THIS IN TERMS OF HIM
VIOLATING THIS ORDER BEHIND
SCENES.
>> HIS LAWYERS KNOW
HE’S VIOLATING THE ORDER.
THEY DON’T WANT HIM TO BE
POSTING.
HE’S POSTING ON SOCIAL OR
SAYING WHAT HE’S SAYING
ABOUT WITNESSES BEFORE
THE CAMERA.
AND THAT’S WHY YOU SAW
THAT BACK AND FORTH, A HEATED
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN
TODD BLANCHE AND THE JUDGE,
BECAUSE BEYONCE REALLY DOESN’T
HAVE A DEFENSE OF.
THIS HE SAYS IT’S POLITICAL
SPEECH AND THAT TRUMP SHOULD
BE ALLOWED TO SAY.
BUT PRIVATELY, HIS LAWYERS
DON’T REALLY BELIEVE THAT THEY
WOULD PREFER WOULD MAKE
THEIR LIVES A LOT EASIER IF
HE WOULD STOP TALKING BEFORE
THE CAMERAS.
HE WOULD CONTINUE TO TALK,
BUT NOT TALK ABOUT WITNESSES
LIKE MICHAEL COHEN WORRY
THAT HE MIGHT SPEAK ABOUT THE
JURORS.
OF COURSE, HE CAN’T DO
THAT EITHER.
SO IN TERMS OF THE STRATEGY,
THE STRATEGY IS SUCH LEAST FROM
HIS ADVISERS AND HIS LAWYERS,
LOOK, YOU CAN TALK, BUT YOU
CAN’T TALK ABOUT WITNESSES.
BUT THAT STRATEGY HASN’T REALLY
WORKED HERE.
AND NOW HE’S LANDED HIMSELF
IN THIS POSITION IN A POSITION
THAT IS QUITE IMPOSSIBLE FOR
HIS LAWYERS TO DEFEND INSIDE
COURTROOM AND CAN WITH THAT
HEARING NOW OVER DAVID PECKER
SET TO TAKE THE STAND.
HE’S THE FORMER PUBLISHER
OF THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER",
A LONGTIME FRIEND.
AND PROSECUTORS ARE ALLEGING
HE WAS INVOLVED IN THIS CATCH
AND KILL SCHEME TO BUY STORIES,
NOT TO PUBLISH THEM, BUT TO
KILL THEM IN ORDER TO HELP
DONALD TRUMP’S
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO HEAR
FROM TODAY?
>> TWO BIG THINGS.
NUMBER ONE IS, JUST AS YOU
INDICATED, TESTIMONY THAT SAYS
THAT THIS WAS NOT ABOUT KEEPING
THIS INFORMATION FROM MELANIA
OR FROM OTHERS IN HIS FAMILY OR
FOR EMBARRASSING HIM.
IT WAS ABOUT KEEPING IT FROM
THE VOTING PUBLIC IN THE DAYS
LEADING UP TO THE 2016
ELECTION.
THAT’S NUMBER ONE.
AND NUMBER TWO IS THAT THAT
INTENT IS TIED TO DONALD TRUMP.
IT WASN’T MICHAEL COHEN’S IDEA
AND SOLE INTENT.
IT WASN’T DAVID PACKER’S IDEA
BECAUSE HE WAS FRIENDS
WITH DONALD TRUMP THAT DONALD
TRUMP WAS IN DISCUSSION AND HAD
THIS THAT STATE OF MIND AS WELL
,BECAUSE IT’S THAT MENS REA.
IT’S THAT STATE OF MIND,
THAT DELIBERATE DECISION TO TO
KILL THIS STORY IN TO AFFECT
THE ELECTION.
THAT IS WHAT BRINGS THIS CASE
A CIVIL ACTION TO ONE THAT’S
CRIMINAL, THAT COULD IMPLICATE
THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S LIBERTY
INTERESTS WITH SOME KIND
OF JAIL TIME AND.
>> COURT HAS RESUMED.
DAVID PECKER IS NOW
ON THE STAND AS WE SPEAK,
AND WE, OF COURSE, WILL TO KEEP
EVERYONE UPDATED.

DONALD TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY CASE
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN LOWER
MANHATTAN AT, THE MOMENT
PROSECUTORS ARE CONTINUING
THEIR FIRST WITNESS,
DAVID PECKER AND THE LONG TIME
PUBLISHER AND CEO OF THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER".
A CLOSE OF DONALD TRUMP WHO
PROSECUTORS ALLEGE WAS PART
OF A CATCH AND KILL SCHEME,
WORKING WITH DONALD TRUMP AND
HIS ONE TIME FIXER, MICHAEL
COHEN, TO FIND BAD STORIES
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP LEADING UP
TO THE 2016 ELECTION.
CATCH THEM, KILL THEM AND MAKE
THEM GO AWAY NOW.
PECKER RIGHT NOW, IS ANSWERING
QUESTIONS FROM PROSECUTORS
BUILDING INTO THEIR CASE
ABOUT WHAT A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP
DONALD TRUMP AND DAVID PECKER
HAD WHEN DAVID ENTERED
THE COURTROOM, HE WAS ASKED
TO IDENTIFY THE DEFENDANT,
DONALD TRUMP, AND THE TWO HAD
A BRIEF EXCHANGED, SMILING EACH
OTHER, GIVING EACH OTHER
A THUMBS UP.
PROSECUTORS NOW BUILDING
MORE INTO THAT RELATIONSHIP.
AND AT ONE POINT, AS THIS CASES
NOW MOVE FORWARD, PROSECUTORS
ASKING PECKER ABOUT MICHAEL
COHEN, HOW DONALD TRUMP AND
THE THREE WILL CONNECTED.
AND AT ONE POINT DAVID PECKER
IS SAYING IF HE HEARD ANYTHING
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP OR
HIS FAMILY, HE REACHED
TO MICHAEL COHEN.

WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE
FOR US.
IT IS DAY TWO OF TESTIMONY
IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE AGAINST
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
AND WE TEAM COVERAGE
WITH UPDATES FROM INSIDE
THE COURTROOM THROUGHOUT
THE DAY.
BUT FIRST, LET’S LOOK AT SOME
OF THE DAY’S OTHER TOP STORIES.
>> A JUDGE IN MOSCOW, IDAHO,
IS ALLOWING COBURG, HIS DEFENSE
TEAM, TO CONTINUE
THEIR CONTROVERSIAL SURVEY
OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS.
COOPER WORKERS
ACCUSED OF STABBING
FOUR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO DEATH
AN OFF CAMPUS HOME IN NOVEMBER
OF 2022.
THE RULING ALLOWS AN OUTSIDE
CONSULTING COMPANY TO CALL
POTENTIAL JURORS ASKING
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CASE.
THE PROSECUTION SAYS THOSE
QUESTIONS COULD PREJUDICE
THE LOCAL JURY POOL THE MAN
CHARGED IN CONNECTION
WITH MURDER OF TUPAC SHAKUR
IS EXPECTED IN COURT TODAY.
DUANE CASEY DAVIS IS SCHEDULED
TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF A
JUDGE FOR A STATUS CHECK AHEAD
OF HIS MURDER TRIAL
IN NOVEMBER.
DAVIS STILL HASN’T MADE
THE $750,000 BAIL SET BY THE
JUDGE AT HIS HEARING.
HIS ATTORNEY SAID PEOPLE
WHO WANTED TO PUT UP THE FUNDS
,HIS RELEASE DIDN’T WANT
TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE SOURCE
OF THAT MONEY.
AND IT’S A ROYAL BIRTHDAY.
PRINCE LOUIS TURNS TODAY.
KENSINGTON PALACE JUST RELEASED
THIS PHOTO SAYING IT WAS
PHOTOGRAPHED HIS MOTHER,
PRINCESS KATE, AT THEIR HOME
IN WINDSOR.
WE’RE TOLD IT WAS TAKEN OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS.
THE PALACE HAS RELEASED A PHOTO
OF THE PRINCE YEAR ON
HIS BIRTHDAY.
AND THIS YEAR IT COMES AS THE
PRINCESS OF WALES IS TREATED
FOR CANCER.
ROYAL SOURCES SAY
THEY’RE CELEBRATING
HIS BIRTHDAY PRIVATELY AS A
FAMILY AND SEVERE WEATHER
IS EXPECTED TO RAMP UP IN THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
IN THE HEARTLAND.
BASEBALL SIZED HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE
FROM TEXAS TO SOUTH CAROLINA.
METEOROLOGIST SMART HERE
IS TRACKING THAT FOR
US TOMORROW.
AND GOOD MORNING, DIANE.
THAT’S AND WHILE WE ANTICIPATED
SEVERE WEATHER TOWARDS THE END
OF THE YEAR, I’M SORRY THE END
OF THE WEEK IS GOING TO BE
PRETTY STRONG.
WE DO HAVE SOME STORM THREATS
TODAY.
SO I’M ACTUALLY GOING TO POINT
THAT OUT TO YOU.
HERE WE ARE AS HEAD THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
FIRST, WHAT WE HAVE IS
A MARGINAL RISK OUT TOWARDS
THE GREAT LAKES.
THAT’S WHERE WE CAN SEE
SOME GUSTY WINDS, MAYBE
SOME HAIL, HEAVY RAIN
A LITTLE BIT MORE ELEVATED
AS YOU HEAD FARTHER SOUTH.
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN
TEXAS COULD ACTUALLY SEE
SOME DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL
AND SOME HEAVY RAIN.
THEN WE HAVE OUR NEXT THREAT
FOR SEVERE WEATHER MOVING
IN THIS IS A LITTLE BIT
MORE ROBUST.
THIS IS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
YOU CAN SEE NEXT STORM SYSTEM
SWEEPING ACROSS THE HEARTLAND
IN ALL GLORY.
HERE’S A LOOK AT WHO’S GOING
TO SEE WHAT WHEN ALL SO
THURSDAY.
YOU CAN SEE IT’S REALLY
THE WESTERN HALF OF A LOT
OF THESE STATES, TEXAS.
ALL RIGHT.
ON UP INTO NEBRASKA.
THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THE THREAT
FOR DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL,
EVEN A FEW TORNADOES.
AND THEN FRIDAY, THAT THREAT
STARTS TO SHIFT A LITTLE BIT
FARTHER EAST.
SO IF YOU LIVE IN DES MOINES,
KANSAS, SPRINGFIELD, I KNOW
IT’S BEEN A GO THE LAST FEW
WEEKS FOR YOU GUYS.
GET FOR MORE SEVERE WEATHER
AS YOU RAMP UP AND HEAD INTO
YOUR WEEKEND.
AS FAR AS THE NUMBERS GO,
THINGS HAVE BEEN REALLY PRETTY
CHILLY ON THE EAST COAST
AND WE’VE HAD A COOL START IN
PARTS OF THE WEST THIS MORNING.
TEMPERATURES DOWN TO THE
FORTIES.
DENVER AROUND 41 DEGREES.
BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENS.
WE’RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER WARM
AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES
IN PLACES LIKE ALBUQUERQUE
REACHING MID TO UPPER 80S.
RECORD HIGHS, PRETTY HOT IN
AREAS LIKE LAS VEGAS,
89 DEGREES.
DENVER 64.
REMEMBER, WE’RE COMING OFF OF A
PRETTY SNOWY WEEKEND THERE.
SO THAT’S PRETTY INTERESTING
IN A LOT OF THIS HEAT,
ONLY HELPING TO ENERGIZE
THE STORMS THAT WILL BE MOVING

HI I’M DAVID SAY TO WE WANT
TO GET STRAIGHT TO OUR
TOP STORY FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
DAVID PECKER, THE FIRST WITNESS
IN A HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH
MONEY TRIAL AGAINST FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK
ON THE STAND.
PROSECUTORS KEY FORMER
ATTORNEY MICHAEL COHEN
AND TRUMP WERE INVOLVED IN A
SCHEME TO CATCH AND KILL
POTENTIALLY DAMAGING STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP TO PROTECT
HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
>> TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY
TO FALSIFY BUSINESS RECORDS
TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT
TO ADULT FILM ACTOR STORMY
DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016
ELECTION.
LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS
INVESTIGATIVE OLIVIA RUBIN NOW
FROM OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM,
ALONG WITH ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE
EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN
SANTUCCI, DEPUTY
POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER
,REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS
AND ATTORNEY AND FORMER
PROSECUTOR EMILY BRADFORD, FOR
MORE, OLIVIA, WHAT STICKS OUT
TO YOU FROM DAVID PACKER’S
TESTIMONY?
>> SO, DANA, YOU’RE BREAKING UP
A LITTLE BIT.
I ASSUME YOU’RE ASKING
ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF DAVID
PACKER’S TESTIMONY, WHO IS
ON THE STAND RIGHT NOW?
AND SO FAR HE HAS DELIVERED
A GLOWING ACCOUNT OF HIS
DECADES LONG RELATIONSHIP
WITH WHAT HE SAID AS HIS LONG
TIME DONALD TRUMP.
THERE WAS ACTUALLY A MOMENT
WHEN HE GOT ON THE STAND AND HE
WAS ASKED, IDENTIFY IF
THE DEFENDANT WAS IN THE ROOM.
HE POINTED AT DONALD TRUMP.
HE SMILED HIM, AND DONALD
TRUMP SORT OF LIFTED HIS CHIN
AND SMILED BACK AND
HE RECOUNTED THE PAST,
YOU KNOW, 30, 40 YEARS WHERE
THEY HAD THIS WORKING
RELATIONSHIP.
THEY WENT EVENTS TOGETHER,
THEY SPOKE MONTHLY, THEY WORKED
TOGETHER.
AND IN A MOMENT THAT DONALD
TRUMP LIKELY REALLY ENJOYED,
DAVID PACKER ACTUALLY SPOKE
ABOUT HOW HE WOULD PULL
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" READERS.
AND DONALD TRUMP WAS ALWAYS
THE BEST SELLER FOR
THE MAGAZINE AND THAT
HIS POPULARITY SKYROCKETED.
AND ANYONE WHO KNOWS
TRUMP KNOWS HOW MUCH HE LOVES
POLLING, BUT CHRONOLOGICALLY
THEY ARE WORKING THROUGH THIS
RELATIONSHIP AND JUST GETTING
TO THE POINT WHERE DONALD
TRUMP IS NOW RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT AND THEY GET
TO INFAMOUS MEETING, WHICH
IS THE WHOLE REASON
THAT PROSECUTORS HAVE DAVID
PECKER ON THE STAND RIGHT NOW.
THIS AUGUST 15TH MEETING WHERE
DAVID PECKER IS SAYING THAT HE
AGREED ESSENTIALLY TO LOOK OUT
FOR NEGATIVE STORIES THAT WERE
BEING PUSHED AGAINST DONALD
TRUMP.
BUT I WANT TO READ TO YOU
THE HE SAYS THERE, HE SAYS
ANYTHING NEGATIVE.
I HEAR ABOUT YOURSELF AND,
ANYTHING NEGATIVE.
I HEAR ABOUT WOMEN TELLING
STORIES.
I WOULD NOTIFY MICHAEL COHEN
AND HE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE
THEM KILLED.
SO THAT IS HIS DESCRIPTION
OF THIS MEETING.
AND HE’S ON THE STAND RIGHT NOW
TESTIFYING TO THAT WHICH COURSE
PROSECUTORS SAY LED IN TO THE
ENTIRE CATCH AND KILL SCHEME
BETWEEN THEM, WHICH ENCOMPASSED
THE STORMY DANIELS PAYMENTS.
AT ISSUE HERE, JOHN,
HOW CRITICAL DAVID PARKER’S
TESTIMONY TO THIS TRIAL,
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE CONTEXT
OF HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH DONALD.
>> I MEAN, THE TWO OF YOU HEARD
ME BOTH OFF AIR AS.
I’M READING THROUGH THE TEAM’S
REPORTING FROM INSIDE COURT.
IT’S REMARKABLE TO SOMEONE
THAT HAS BEEN DONALD TRUMP’S
FRIEND, ALLY CONFIDANT,
WHO NEVER SPOKEN BEFORE,
BASICALLY DISH INTEL.
I MEAN, OLIVIA TALKED A LOT
ABOUT THIS AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW,
THE RELATIONSHIP AND THE
FONDNESS FOR EACH OTHER.
BUT IT TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT THE
BUILD UP, HOW, YOU KNOW,
AS THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, GOING
THROUGH DONALD TRUMP’S LIFE
WHEN DONALD TRUMP, YOU KNOW,
BECAME THE STAR AND THE HOST
OF THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE,
HOW THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS GOOD FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
BUT DAVID PECKER SAID IT WAS
GOOD FOR, TOO, BECAUSE
PEOPLE LOOKED AT DONALD
TRUMP AS A BOSS AND HOW
HE WOULD PUT DONALD TRUMP ON
THE COVER ALL THE TIMES
THEY ALSO TALK ABOUT MORE INTO
THAT MEAN THAT OLIVIA WAS JUST
MENTIONING ABOUT HOW DONALD
TRUMP PECKER AND COHEN CAME
TO AN AGREEMENT THAT, YOU KNOW,
NOT ONLY WOULD THEY POSIT
PUBLIC POSITIVE STORIES
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, THEY WOULD
PUBLISH NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT HIS OPPONENT.
THEY’RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT WAYS
THAT THEY WOULD ATTACK
HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON
REFERRING TO PAST DISCRETIONS
BILL CLINTON HAD THROUGHOUT
THEIR MARRIAGE.
IT’S JUST REALLY REMARKABLE.
AND THIS ONE LINE JUST STICKS
WITH ME SO MUCH.
DIANE.
DAVID PECKER SAID IT WOULD HELP
HIS CAMPAIGN, BUT IT WOULD ALSO
HELP ME TALKING.
YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT THE WAY
THEY HAD THIS BEST MUTUAL
BENEFITING RELATIONSHIP
THAT PECKER WAS ABLE TO PUBLISH
SCOOPS AND, YOU KNOW,
GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW,
GET AT SOME OF THE SALACIOUS
DETAILS ABOUT, SOME OF
HIS OPPONENTS IN 2016, YOU GOT
TO REMEMBER.
RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IN THE END,
IT WAS DONALD TRUMP VERSUS
HILLARY CLINTON.
BUT YOU THINK ABOUT SO MANY
ATTACKS OF DONALD TRUMP, MAYBE
I’M LOOKING AT YOU, DONALD
TRUMP.
ONE LEVEL AGAINST TED CRUZ
AND MARCO RUBIO.
>> WE KNOW SO OFTEN SO MANY
OF THOSE ATTACKS ARE FRONT
AND CENTER ON THE NATIONAL
AND IN PART CLEARLY BECAUSE
OF THIS AMAZING RELATIONSHIP,
HE HAD WITH THE PUBLISHER.
>> AVERY, YOU WANT TO ADD
TO THAT BECAUSE IT’S PART
OF THE ARGUMENT THAT HAPPENED
EARLIER BEFORE DAVID PECKER
TESTIMONY CENTERED
POLITICAL SPEECH.
IN THIS CASE, DONALD TRUMP IS
A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
THE PROSECUTION ARGUING THAT HE
SHOULD BE HELD IN CONTEMPT FOR
GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS IN THIS
CASE AND HIS TEAM SAYING
THAT THIS IS POLITICAL SPEECH.
>> SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE
WAY POLITICS AND, THE LEGAL
WORLD ARE CROSSING IN THIS
CASE?
>> ALL RIGHT.
THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY ONE IN
THE SAME AS WE SEE THIS CASE
ONGOING.
I AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CAMP,
THE FORMER PRESIDENT,
HIS CAMPAIGN ARE GOING TO BE
LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF WHAT’S GOING ON IN
THE COURTROOM THEY KNOW
THAT THE ATTENTION OF THE
COUNTRY, THE ATTENTION OF THE
MEDIA IS WHAT’S HAPPENING
IN NEW YORK IN THAT COURTROOM.
AND SO WE’RE GOING TO SEE THEM
TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
THAT’S WHY WE KNOW
THE PRESIDENT IS GOING
TO CONTINUE TO ADDRESS
THE CAMERAS.
AND THAT’S WHY WE KNOW
HIS CAMPAIGN GOING TO CONTINUE
TO SEND OUT FUNDRAISING APPEALS
THAT ARE BASED ON GOING ON.
WE SAW HIM SEND OUT
SOME FUNDRAISING APPEALS BASED
ON CONTEMPT HEARING THAT WE SAW
THIS MORNING.
HE’S CONTINUE CLAIM HE IS
BEING POLITICALLY PROSECUTED
THAT THESE LEGAL CASES AGAINST
ARE A WITCH HUNT AND THAT
THEY ARE SAYING THAT IS AIMED
TO RILE UP AND TO MOBILIZE
HIS MOST LOYAL SUPPORTERS.
THE QUESTION IF THAT IS GOING
TO BE ENOUGH TO GARNER
THE SUPPORT AND EXPAND HIS BASE
AS WE GET INTO THE GENERAL
ELECTION.
AND CATHERINE, GOING
BACK TO THAT GAG ORDER, HEARING
WHAT’S AT STAKE HERE FOR
THE FORMER PRESIDENT TO
PROSECUTIONS, ASKING THEM
TO THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT, THEY’RE SAYING
THEY’RE NOT SEEKING JAIL TIME
HERE, BUT THEY INDICATE
THEY THINK TRUMP COULD
BE ANGLING FOR THAT.
ONE OF THE POTENTIAL OUTCOMES
HERE AND WHAT COULD THAT MEAN
FOR TRUMP’S GOING FORWARD?
WELL, HE’S CERTAINLY PUSHING
THE LIMITS.
AND, OF COURSE VIOLATING A GAG
ORDER.
>> AND JAIL TIME COULD BE ON
THE TABLE WHO KNOWS?
I DON’T THINK THAT THE
JUDGE WILL ULTIMATELY SAY
THAT HERE IN HIS WRITTEN ORDER.
BUT IT APPEARS VERY CLEAR THAT
TRUMP HAS VIOLATED THIS GAG
ORDER MULTIPLE TIMES.
AND THE JUDGE WAS REALLY NOT
HAVING ANYTHIN TO DO
WITH TRUMP’S DEFENSE ATTORNEYS.
TODD BLANCHE HIS ARGUMENTS
IN FAVOR OF WHAT TRUMP WAS
SAYING.
HE SAID, YOU PROVIDED US NO FOR
THE REASONS THAT HE SHOULD
BE SAYING THIS.
AND FRANKLY, THAT REALLY ISN’T
ANY DEFENSE OF THIS IN COURT.
HIS OWN LAWYERS KNOW THAT HE’S
THIS ORDER.
THEY WOULD PREFER TO NOT TALK
ABOUT WITNESSES WHO WILL
ULTIMATELY BE WITNESSES IN THIS
CASE, FOR EXAMPLE.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THEY CAN’T REALLY CONTROL HIM.
SO I GUESS IT JUST DEPENDS
ON WHAT THE JUDGE ULTIMATELY
SAYS.
NOW, HE DIDN’T RULE FROM
THE BENCH.
HE SAID HE’LL BE ISSUING
A WRITTEN ORDER.
THERE’S A LOT AT STAKE HERE.
OF COURSE, THEY WERE ORIGINALLY
ASKING FOR FINES ON THOSE FIRST
THREE TRUE SOCIAL POSTS
THAT THEY HAD MENTIONED AT THE
BEGINNING OF LAST WEEK.
SO THAT WOULD BE $1,000 PER
POST THERE.
SO WE’LL JUST HAVE TO SEE
WHAT THE JUDGE SAYS.
BUT THIS WILL CERTAINLY BE A
TOPIC OF CONVERSATION.
I’M NOT SURE TRUMP WILL REALLY
CHANGE HIS BEHAVIOR, DESPITE
HIS LAWYERS PROBABLY COUNSELING
HIM TO DO SO.
>> THAT SAID, ALL OF
THE OFFICIALS FAMILIAR
WITH THIS SITUATION, THE SECRET
SERVICE HAS BEEN HOLDING
MEETINGS AND HAVE STARTED FOR
WHAT TO DO IF TRUMP WERE TO BE
HELD IN CONTEMPT, WERE TO BE
SENT TO JAIL FOR THAT.
HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT
AND WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE?
WELL, IT’S REMARKABLE, DIANE,
THAT THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE NOW
PLANNING FOR THE OPTION
THAT MERSHON COULD HOLD HIM
IN SOME SORT OF CONTEMPT
AND POTENTIALLY PUT HIM IN A
HOLDING CELL FOR A MATTER
OF TIME.
BUT THOSE ARE THE SAME SOURCES
ARE TELLING ABC NEWS THAT
THEY ARE NOT PLANNING FOR IF
TRUMP IS CONVICTED AND
SENTENCED TO PRISON OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT.
THIS IS STRICTLY RELATED
TO SOME SORT OF CONTEMPT ORDER
ON THE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS,
BUT STILL REMARKABLE
NONETHELESS TO THINK ABOUT THE
FACT THAT KNOW THIS IS SOMEONE
THAT WAS IN THE WHITE
HOUSE THAT LIVES AT MAR A LAGO
THAT, YOU KNOW, FLIES ON AIR
FORCE ONE AND NOW HIS OWN PLANE
AND COULD SOON BE POTENTIALLY
PUT INTO A CELL.
AND POLITICALLY, HE WOULD
CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, TWIST
THAT NARRATIVE TO HIS ADVANTAGE
AS A JOBS ENTITY POINTED OUT
EARLIER.
LOOK WHAT HE DID WITH HIS
MUGSHOT.
LOOK WHAT HE DOES EVERY TIME
HE GOES TO COURT.
HE USES IT ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL.
HE FUNDRAISES OF IT AND HIS
POLLING NUMBERS GO UP.
BUT PERSONALLY, THAT EXPERI FOR
HIM IS GOING TO BE QUITE
UNPLEASANT IF YOU HAVE BEEN
INSIDE OF THIS COURTHOUSE
AT 100 SENATOR STREET, IT
IS NOT A PLACE TO BE.
IT IS OLD, IT IS DREARY.
A LOT OF THE COURTHOUSE IS NOT
WELL-KEPT.
SO TO THINK ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP IN SOME SORT OF HOLDING
CELL IN THIS BUILDING, EVEN FOR
10 MINUTES, WOULD
BE EXTRAORDINARY IN ITSELF.
AND EMILY, DAVID PECKER
IS TESTIFYING AS WE SPEAK.
HE HAS A NON-PROSECUTION
AGREEMENT IN EXCHANGE FOR
HIS TESTIMONY.
HOW DO YOU THINK THE DEFENSE
IS GOING TO TRY TO USE AGAINST
HIM IN CROSS-EXAMINATION?
>> WELL, WHENEVER YOU HAVE
SOMEONE WHO IS COOPERATING
AND RECEIVES ANY KIND
OF BENEFIT, THE DEFENSE
IS GOING TO WANT TO POINT
THAT ANY BENEFIT THAT A WITNESS
RECEIVES IS POTENTIALLY
A REASON FOR THEM, EITHER NOT
TO TELL THE TRUTH OR TO CHANGE
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING, TO BE
WHAT THE PROSECUTION.
SO I WOULD EXPECT THAT THE
DEFENSE WILL TRY TO EXPLOIT
THAT AND SAY, YOU KNOW, LOOK,
THEY PUT THE SCREWS TO THIS GUY
.
IF HE IF HE DIDN’T TELL THEM
WHAT THEY WANTED TO HEAR, THEN
HE’D BE SITTING HERE NEXT TO MY
CLIENT AND AVERY, TRUMP’S TEAM
HAS BEEN SENDING FUNDRAISERS
THROUGHOUT THE FUNDRAISING
EMAILS, I SHOULD SAY, NOT
ONLY ABOUT THIS CONTEMPT
HEARING, BUT ABOUT THE TRIAL
ITSELF, TRYING TO USE IT
TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
WHAT DOES IT DO FOR TRUMP?
PENNSYLVANIA’S PRIMARY TODAY.
HE IS NOT ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL.
HE’S IN A COURTROOM.
WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR HIM?
>> HOW IS HIS TEAM TRYING
TO COUNTER THAT?
RIGHT.
IT’S CERTAINLY NOT AN ADVANTAGE
TO BE IN A COURTROOM THAN
BEING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL,
TALKING TO VOTERS AS WE ARE IN
MIDDLE OF A GENERAL ELECTION.
AND HE DID SPEAK TO THE CAMERAS
EARLIER TODAY.
AND NOT ONLY DID HE SPEAK
ABOUT THIS ON THIS CASE, BUT HE
ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE PRIMARY
ELECTIONS GOING ON IN
THE BATTLEGROUND
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
IT’S GOING TO BE A STATE THAT’S
VERY IMPORTANT TO HIS PATH.
SHOULD HE BE REELECTED TO THE
WHITE HOUSE, NOT ONLY DID
HE TALK ABOUT WANTING VOTERS
TO TURN OUT MASS FOR HIM,
BUT HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE
KEY SENATE RACE THAT’S GOING
ON THERE AND TALKING ABOUT WHAT
TURNING OUT FOR THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE IN THAT RACE.
AND SO HE IS GOING TO BE
LOOKING TO TRY AND TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF ANY OPPORTUNITY
THAT HE HAS SPEAK ABOUT THIS
CAMPAIGN, TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS
ON ELECTION AS HE CONTINUING
TO HAVE TO SHOW UP TO COURT
IN NEW YORK EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> YEAH, THAT MOMENT BEFORE,
THE CAMERAS, THEY SOUNDED A LOT
MORE LIKE A POLITICAL SPEECH
THAN SOME OF THE OTHERS WE’VE
HEARD WHERE HE TALKED
MORE ABOUT THE CASES THAT HE
WAS THERE TO SEE.
JOHN, GOING BACK TO THE CASE,
DAVID PECKER IS TESTIFYING NOW
.
I’M WATCHING YOUR FACIAL
EXPRESSIONS AS YOU’RE READING
SOME OF THE I WHAT ARE
YOU LISTENING FOR AS THIS
TESTIMONY?
I MEAN?
LET’S NOT COME SIT NEXT TO YOU
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO READ THIS
IN REAL TIME TO YOU.
IT’S JUST MIND BLOWING.
MEAN THIS QUOTE RIGHT NOW FROM
DAVID PACKER’S BLEW MY MIND
QUOTE IN A HANDS FINGERS MOVE
WHERE TO GO.
OKAY SO IT WAS SOMETHING
ABOUT A PRESIDENT.
OH, HERE WE GO.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
I WAS THE PERSON THAT THOUGHT
THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF WOMEN
WHO CAME OUT TO SELL
THEIR STORIES BECAUSE MR.
TRUMP WAS WELL KNOWN, AND I
QUOTE, THE MOST ELIGIBLE
BACHELOR AND DATED THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL.
IT’S VERY COMMON, THESE WOMEN,
TO CALL UP A MAGAZINE FOR
A NATIONAL ENQUIRER TO TRY
TO SELL THEIR STORIES.
I WOULD HEAR THE MARKETPLACE
THROUGH SOURCES, OTHER VALUES,
AND THEN HE WOULD SAY IF
HE HEARD SOMETHING THAT WAS
CONCERNING, HE WOULD TAKE
DONALD TRUMP’S DIRECTIVE, WHICH
WAS TO CALL MICHAEL COHEN.
IT’S INTERESTING.
HE TALKS ABOUT HOW MICHAEL
COHEN AND HIM SPOKE WEEKLY,
BUT THAT BECAME A POINT BECAUSE
OF ALL THE STORIES.
THEY STARTED SPEAKING DAILY.
SO YOU REALLY GOT THE SENSE
THAT OBVIOUSLY THE INTENSITY
OF THE STORIES, WHAT WAS GOING
.
AND, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT I’M
REWINDING MY BRAIN BACK TO THE
FALL OF 2016, WHEN I LIVED
ON THE COVER OF THAT CAMPAIGN,
THERE WAS A POINT IN TIME
THAT ACTUALLY THAT MAKES SENSE
BECAUSE IF RECALL RIGHT AFTER
LABOR DAY, WE STARTED TO SEE
MANY DOZENS, ACTUALLY, I THINK
JUST UNDER 20 COME OUT
AND SEARCH TO ACCUSE DONALD
TRUMP OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.
ONE WAS A FORMER WRITER FOR
"PEOPLE" MAGAZINE AND THERE
WERE DOZENS THAT CAME OUT
AND SPOKE ABOUT IT.
>> OBVIOUSLY, IN THAT TIME, WE
DID NOT HEAR ABOUT DANIELS OR
KAREN MCDOUGAL, BECAUSE AT THAT
POINT IN TIME CLEARLY BASED
ON THIS RELATIONSHIP,
DAVID PECKER WAS SUCCESSFUL
IN CATCHING AND KILLING THOSE
STORIES WHEN HE HEARD
ABOUT THEM.
CLEARLY, THOUGH, MAYBE THERE
WERE OTHERS.
MAYBE THERE’S THINGS WE STILL
DON’T KNOW ABOUT.
IT’S KIND OF INTERESTING AS HE
STARTS TO GO THROUGH THIS
AND SAY THAT HE WAS CONSTANTLY
IN THAT COMMUNICATION.
THERE WAS SO MUCH INFORMATION
COMING IN AROUND THAT TIME.
AND AGAIN, JUST TO THE
CONSUMER, I THINK JUST REWIND
WHERE WE WERE AROUND
"ACCESS HOLLYWOOD", AROUND
LEADING UP TO THOSE FINAL
DEBATES.
THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS
THAT WERE COMING OUT.
>> EMILY, QUICKLY, HOW IS
THE PROSECUTION GOING TO GET
THE HURDLE OF TRYING TO PROVE
THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL
THESE STORIES TO PROTECT DONALD
TRUMP, THE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE, AND NOT DONALD
TRUMP?
MAN, THE HUSBAND, THE FATHER
WHO WE HEARD ABOUT IN OPENING
STATEMENTS YESTERDAY.
AND PART OF THE INCENTIVE WAS
TO PROTECT HIS ELECTION DATE
AND NOT THE FACT THAT HE DIDN’T
WANT HIS FAMILY TO HEAR
ABOUT ALL THESE STORIES.
>> WELL, THAT’S WHY
YOU’RE GOING TO SEE WITNESSES
LIKE PECKER.
YOU’RE GOING TO SEE MICHAEL
COHEN.
YOU REALLY NEED
HILLARY COOPERATING INSIDERS
TO PROVE INTENT A CASE LIKE
THIS?
BECAUSE THE BASIC FACTS, AS WE
KNOW, ARE NOT REALLY DISPUTE.
>> THE QUESTION IS WHAT,
WHO WHO’S BEHIND AND WHY?
>> AND THE PEOPLE WHO CAN SPEAK
TO THAT ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE
CLOSEST AND WHO WERE WHO WERE
INVOLVED IN THE SCHEME.
>> AND OLIVIA RUBIN
JOHN SANTUCCI AVERI HARPER
KATHERINE FAULDERS AND EMILY
BRADFORD, THANK YOU ALL.
WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS
HISTORIC TRIAL ALL DAY LONG.

SOME OF THESE ARE CHEFS COOKS.
THIS IS A COUNTERFEIT.

EVER BEFORE.
ANYBODY BE FOOLED?
>> ANYBODY?
SUPER FAKES NOW STREAMING
ON HULU HULU.
HI I’M AMY.
LET’S GET TO THE LATEST
RIGHT NOW.
HAPPENING IN LOWER AS DONALD
TRUMP’S CRIMINAL TRIAL
CONTINUES, PROSECUTORS
ARE QUESTIONING DONALD TRUMP’S
LONG TIME FRIEND AND THE FORMER
PUBLISHER OF THE NATIONAL DAVID
PECKER.
PECKER TELLING PROSECUTORS
THAT HE TOLD DONALD TRUMP AND
MICHAEL COHEN, HIS ONE TIME
FIXER AND ATTORNEY, THAT HE
WOULD SERVE AS THE EYES
AND EARS FOR TRUMP AND COHEN
LEADING UP TO THE 2016
ELECTION.
CATCHING AND KILLING ANY
STORIES THAT HE BELIEVES COULD
BE DAMAGING TO DONALD TRUMP AND
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
NOW PECKER, OF COURSE,
THE LONGTIME FRIEND DONALD
TRUMP, HIS ALLY, HAS NOT SPOKEN
OUT PREVIOUSLY BEFORE
ABC’S TEAM IN COURT REPORTING
RIGHT NOW THAT AT ONE POINT
DONALD TRUMP AND DAVID PECKER
ACKNOWLEDGED EACH OTHER
SMILING.
THE TWO LONGTIME FRIENDS.
AND DAVID PECKER HAS NEVER
SPOKEN OUT BEFORE.
NOW HE IS JUST THE FIRST
WITNESS TO TAKE THE STAND,
PROSECUTORS, AS COURT RESUMES
IN LOWER MANHATTAN.
DIANE BACK TO YOU.
>> JOHN, THANK YOU.
AND THE SENATE IS SCHEDULED
TO VOTE TODAY ON THE $95
BILLION FOREIGN AID BILL FOR
UKRAINE AND ISRAEL.
THE BILL ALSO INCLUDES
A POTENTIAL BAN ON TIK TOK.
SENIOR WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG
HAS THE DETAILS.
>> HI, SELINA.
IN JUST A FEW HOURS, THE SENATE
WILL START VOTING ON THAT
MASSIVE $95 BILLION AID PACKAGE
TO UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TAIWAN.
AND FOR AMERICA’S ALLIES, THIS
COULD NOT COME FAST ENOUGH.
$60 BILLION IS GOING
TO UKRAINE.
THEY’VE BEEN RUNNING OUT
OF AMMUNITION.
SO THIS WOULD RESUPPLY
THEIR DEFENSES AND COULD HELP
SLOW DOWN RUSSIA’S ADVANCES.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SPOKE
TO UKRAINIAN
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY YESTERDAY,
VOWING TO SIGN THIS INTO LAW
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
NOW, HOUSE SPEAKER JOHNSON PUT
HIS JOB ON THE LINE TO GET THIS
DONE.
DEFYING THE FAR WING OF HIS
PARTY.
BUT AT LEAST FOR NOW, HIS JOB
IS SAFE AND THIS LEGISLATION
IS EXPECTED TO SPEED THROUGH
THE SENATE.
AND THIS ALSO INCLUDES
A POTENTIAL BAN ON TIKTOK APP
WOULD BE BANNED IN THE U.S. IF
ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY
DOESN’T SELL THE APP WITHIN
A YEAR.
BUT THIS COULD BE A VERY
COMPLICATED PROCESS.
TIKTOK GOING TO FIGHT THIS
IN THE COURTS AND THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT COULD BLOCK ANY
POTENTIAL SALE.
AND EVEN IF IT GOT TO THAT
POINT WHERE IT WERE BANNED HERE
,IT’S NOT JUST GOING
TO DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR PHONE.
INSTEAD, IT COULD DIE SLOW
DEATH OR IT’S BANNED FROM
THE APP STORES.
SO USERS JOIN IN.
EXISTING USERS CAN’T GET
UPDATES.
DIANE ALL RIGHT.

WE TO GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP
STORY, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER, FIRST WITNESS
IN THE HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH
MONEY TRIAL AGAINST FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK
ON THE STAND.
PROSECUTORS SAY HE ATTORNEY
MICHAEL COHEN AND TRUMP WERE
INVOLVED IN A SCHEME TO CATCH
AND KILL POTENTIALLY DAMAGING
STORIES ABOUT TRUMP TO PROTECT
HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
AND TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT
GUILTY TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS
RECORDS TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY
PAYMENT TO ADULT FILM ACTRESS
STORMY DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016
ELECTION.
ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATOR
OLIVIA RUBIN IS OUTSIDE
THE COURTHOUSE.
JOINING ME NOW, ALONG WITH ABC
EXECUTIVE EDITOR PRODUCER JOHN
SANTUCCI, DEPUTY
POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER
,AN ATTORNEY AND FORMER
PROSECUTOR EMILY BRADFORD.
OLIVIA, WHAT’S THE ON
DAVID PARKER’S TESTIMONY SO
FAR?
WELL, HE IS WALKING THROUGH
SORT OF THIS ARRANGEMENT
THAT HE HAD WITH DONALD
TRUMP AND MICHAEL COHEN
AND EXPLORE FOR THE JURY.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME
THAT WE’VE HEARD FROM
DAVID PARKER.
EXACTLY HOW THIS OCCURRED.
AND REMEMBER, IT’S THIS AUGUST
15TH MEETING IN 2015, JUST
AFTER DONALD TRUMP ANNOUNCES
HIS PRESIDENCY AND BEFORE
THEY ENTER IN SORT OF THIS
YEAR LONG SCHEME WHERE,
THEY’RE GOING TO BUY UP
NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT WOMEN.
YOU HEARD JONATHAN, DID
YOU RECENTLY READ THAT QUOTE
WHERE DAVID PECKER SORT
OF SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT
HE THOUGHT A LOT OF WOMEN WERE
TO COME OUT ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP WITH THEIR STORIES
AND WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO WAS
SUPPRESS THE NEGATIVE ONES.
AND EARLIER, DAVID PECKER HAD
TALKED ABOUT JUST SORT OF HOW
POPULAR DONALD TRUMP WAS,
HOW MUCH RAVED ABOUT HIM
AND WERE BUYING IN TO LEARNING
MORE HIM.
AND HE WAS SUCH A GOOD SELLER
FOR THE MAGAZINE.
NOW HE’S IN THIS CRUX OF THIS
TESTIMONY WHERE HE IS TALKING
ABOUT THE MEETING AND WALKING
THE JURY THROUGH THAT EMILY
PECKER TESTIFIED NOT ONLY THAT
HE SUSPECTED THAT MULTIPLE
WOMEN WOULD COME FORWARD
TO SHOP STORIES ABOUT TRUMP
WHILE HE WAS RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT, BUT ALSO THAT PECKER
VOWED TO NOTIFY MICHAEL COHEN
AS HE HEARD OF THESE STORIES.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT PART
OF HIS TESTIMONY?
WELL, I MEAN, THIS GOES AGAIN
TO THE MULTIPLE PARTS OF THIS
CONSPIRACY.
SO I THINK THE PROSECUTION
IS JUST LAYING THE GROUNDWORK
FOR HOW ALL OF THIS WORKED.
>> SO WHY WOULD HE BE NOTIFYING
MICHAEL COHEN AND WHAT’S
MICHAEL COHEN?
>> IT’S GOING TO BE PLAYING
A ROLE IN IN HUSHING THESE
STORIES UP.
>> SO I THINK THIS IS JUST SORT
OF LAYING GROUNDWORK IN A LOT
OF WAYS FOR WHAT MICHAEL
IS GOING TO TESTIFY ABOUT AS
WELL.
>> AND JOHN PECKER BEEN TRUMP’S
ALLY AND CONFIDANT FOR MANY
YEARS.
YOU KNOW, THE ONLY KEY WITNESS
HERE WHO HASN’T TALKED
ABOUT THIS AT ALL PUBLICLY NOW
AND HERE HE IS TESTIFYING
THAT HE WAS MICHAEL COHEN’S
AND TRUMP’S EYES AND EARS FOR
THIS CAMPAIGN.
AND THEY SEEM TO CONTINUE TO GO
BACK TO FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
THIS WAS DIRECTLY RELATED
TO THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
HOW CRITICAL IS THIS TESTIMONY
FOR THIS?
>> IT’S UNBELIEVABLY CRITICAL,
BUT I THINK WHAT’S ALSO
STRIKING IN READING THE NOTES
FROM AARON KATERSKY PETER AND
OLIVIA COURT, IT GOES BEYOND
JUST WOMEN AND DAVID
AND MICHAEL COHEN.
AND ONE OF THE NOTES OUT FROM
TURKEY JUST NOW TALKS ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY WOULD
GET STORIES ABOUT SOME
OF TRUMP’S OTHER PRIMARY
OPPONENTS.
YOU’LL RECALL THAT WAS AN
ELECTION IN 2016 THAT LEADING
UP TO IN 2015, A WELL OVER
A DOZEN REPUBLICANS ANNOUNCED
THEY WERE GOING TO RUNNING FOR
THE NOMINATION.
AND THIS LINE HERE FROM PECKER
ABOUT, MICHAEL COHEN,
IS INTERESTING.
HE SAYS, QUOTE, HE WOULD SEND
ME INFORMATION ABOUT TED CRUZ
OR BEN CARSON OR MARCO RUBIO,
AND THAT WAS THE BASIS FOR
OUR STORY.
AND WE WOULD EMBELLISH.
AND THEN ACCORDING TO OUR TEAM
IN COURT, PROSECUTORS THEN
SHOWED MEMBERS OF THE JURY
PRESSED COVERS AND HEADLINES
OF THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER",
WHICH THEY SAY SHOWED HOW CLOSE
OF A RELATIONSHIP PECKER COHEN
AND TRUMP THAT ANYTHING
THAT COHEN AND TRUMP WOULD
PROVIDE TO PECKER HE’D SPEND
AROUND SOME SPLASHY NEWS ON IT.
AND IT AS A STORY.
AND YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER SO
OFTEN, DONALD TRUMP WOULD LEVY
THESE, YOU KNOW, AT TIMES
OUTRAGEOUS, YOU KNOW, ATTACKING
TED CRUZ’S FATHER, ATTACKING,
YOU KNOW, OTHER OF OTHER
PRIMARY OPPONENTS, FAMILY
AND THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
PICK SO MUCH OF THIS UP.
AND, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, WE
KNEW THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU
HAD.
BUT JUST HERE, THAT CLOSENESS
THAT, YOU KNOW, IT’S MY FRIEND
MAYBE HE NEEDS, I HELP HIM OUT.
I DO IT.
IT GOES A STEP FURTHER WHEN
YOU START GETTING INTO MONEY,
WOMEN AND CLEARLY LEADING UP
TO THE ELECTION, EVERY DETAIL
STARTS TO COME OUT MORE,
MORE WHEN AS WE HEAR MORE AND
MORE TESTIMONY IN THIS CASE,
HOW DOES IT AFFECT
TRUMP POLITICALLY?
>> WHAT DO VOTERS THINK
ABOUT ALL THIS?
RIGHT.
I THINK WHEN WE LOOK AT A
GENERAL ELECTION POSTURE,
AND THAT’S WE ARE RIGHT NOW, WE
KNOW THAT TRUMP IS GOING TO BE
THE REPUBLICAN.
I THINK THAT THEY’RE GOING
TO BE USING THE DEVELOPMENTS
IN THIS TO THE BEST OF THEIR
ABILITIES TO SORT OF RILE UP
THEIR BASE, TO MOBILIZE
THEIR BASE.
HIS SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO BE
LOOKING AT THE DEVELOPMENTS
IN THIS CASE AS AMMUNITION FOR
TRUMP TO CLAIM
POLITICAL PERSECUTION, BUT I
DON’T NECESSARILY THINK
THAT THAT IS GOING TO EXPAND
HIS BASE ANY.
RIGHT.
THEY WERE ALREADY SORT
OF RUMBLINGS WHEN YOU LOOK
AT SOME OF THE EARLY PRIMARY
STATES THAT WE HAD, A CERTAIN
REPUBLICAN VOTER WAS SAYING
THAT THEY MIGHT NOT VOTE FOR
TRUMP BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL
CASES THAT HE’S FACING.
IF HE IS CONVICTED OF A CRIME,
THAT THIS THAT WOULD CONVINCE
NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM
AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS, THOSE
ARE GOING TO BE FOLKS
THAT TRUMP HAS NOT NECESSARILY
DONE WELL.
AND SO THIS IS AN INSTANCE
OF HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO BE
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
TO CONVINCE THOSE VOTERS TO TO
CAST BALLOTS FOR HIM COME
NOVEMBER.
AND WE’RE GOING TO SEE THEM TRY
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS STATE
OF MESSENGER NOWADAYS, WE’RE
HEARING THEY’RE TAKING A BREAK
IN COURT NOW, WATCHING THE
DOORS NOW TO SEE IF
THE PRESIDENT COMES OUT
AND ADDRESSES THE CAMERAS AS HE
HAD SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST.
BUT, OLIVIA, WHILE WE WAIT FOR
THAT, LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT GAG
ORDER HEARING THAT ENDED UP
FOCUSING ON COMMENTS HE MADE
FROM THIS VERY POSITION JUST
YESTERDAY.
THE PROSECUTION IS ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD
TRUMP CONTEMPT FOR VIOLATING
A LIMITED GAG ORDER.
THEY SAY NOT ONLY TEN TIMES,
BUT THEY SAY NOW POTENTIALLY AN
11TH TIME AFTER COMMENTS
HE MADE YESTERDAY OUTSIDE
THE COURT TO THE CAMERAS
RIGHT HERE, THE JUDGE OPTED NOT
TO RULE, BUT HE DID HAVE SOME
HARSH WORDS FOR THE DEFENSE
AT THE END OF THAT HEARING.
SO WHERE DOES THAT STAND NOW?
HE DID.
SO WE’RE WAITING FOR MERSHON
TO ISSUE HIS RULING ON THE TEN
ALLEGED GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS.
AND BASED ON THAT HEARING,
DIANE, WHICH WAS ABOUT AN
HOUR WITH QUITE CONTENTIOUS
AND AT POINTS, TRUMP’S
ATTORNEY BEING REPRIMANDED
BY MERSHON, SAYING HE HAS LOST
ALL CREDIBILITY OF THE COURT,
FAILING TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE,
FAILING TO ANSWER
HIS QUESTIONS, FAILING TO CITE
PROPER CASE LAW, YOU WOULD
HAVE TO THINK THAT THAT IS NOT
GOING TO END UP A GOOD RULING
FOR DONALD TRUMP.
IT’S LIKELY JUST BASED OFF
WHAT JUAN MERCHAN SAID, THAT HE
IS GOING TO FIND THAT HE
VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER.
BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS
THE PUNISHMENT GOING TO BE IF
HE DOES ISSUE THAT RULING,
IS IT GOING BE SOME SORT
OF FINANCIAL PENALTY WHICH
PROSECUTORS ASKED FOR,
ORIGINALLY SAYING THEY WERE
LOOKING FOR $1,000 PER POST?
AND WHILE THEY SAID DURING
THAT HEARING THAT THEY’RE NOT
LOOKING FOR JAIL TIME, THEY DID
EARLIER SAY TO THE JUDGE THAT
THEY WERE NOT YET SURE HOW THEY
WERE GOING TO ESCALATE
WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR.
AT ONE POINT THEY SAID WE KNOW
WE’VE BEEN ASKING FOR FINANCIAL
PENALTIES, BUT WE ARE STILL
EVALUATING WHAT WE’RE GOING
TO BE ASKING FOR MOVING
FORWARD, BECAUSE I THINK BASED
ON WHAT WE’RE SEEING HERE,
REMEMBER, WE, MICHAEL, DONALD
TRUMP GO TO THE CAMERAS
YESTERDAY AND TALK
ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN AS DONALD
TRUMP KEEPS DOING IT.
AND THAT IS WHAT PROSECUTORS
ARE POINTING OUT THEY THINK
HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING
IS WRONG AND HE KEEPS DOING IT.
SO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO
TO GET HIM TO STOP IT?
AS WE WAIT FOR HIM TO LEAVE
THE ROOM, WE WILL SEE IF
HE GOES AGAIN TO THAT SPOT
WHERE HE WENT YESTERDAY
AND VIOLATES THE GAG ORDER
AGAIN.
NOW, JOHN, IT DOESN’T SEEM
AT THIS POINT THAT HE GETS JAIL
TIME, EVEN IF THE JUDGE DOES
FIND HIM IN CONTEMPT.
>> BUT THE SECRET SERVICE HAS
BEEN HAVING MEETINGS
AND PLANNING FOR
THE POSSIBILITY THAT HE COULD
GO TO JAIL.
>> WHAT WOULD THAT EVEN LOOK?
YEAH, OUR AARON KATERSKY
JOSH MARGOLIN LOOP BAR LEARNING
THIS, DIANE, THAT THERE
HAVE BEEN PRELIMINARY
CONVERSATIONS THAT IF
JUDGE MERCHAN WAS TO ACCEPT
THAT HE VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER
AND TAKE EACH ORDINARY
OF HOLDING CONTEMPT OF COURT
AND SOME TYPE OF, YOU KNOW,
CONFINEMENT FOR PERIOD OF TIME,
THAT THE SECRET SERVICE, NYPD
AND OTHER OFFICIALS HAVE HAD
INITIAL CONVERSATIONS AS TO
WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.
AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT THE
SECRET SERVICE AND LOOK
WHAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW,
COURT, WHEREVER A PROTECT GOES,
THEY GO.
TRUMP BEING A FORMER
PRESIDENT AND THE CURRENT
REPUBLICAN PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE,
HAS SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION
WHEREVER HE GOES, SEE THEM,
ESCORT HIM TO COURT, ESCORT HIM
BACK HOME.
IN THEORY, HE WAS TO GO TO JAIL
FOR ANY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
THEY WOULD GO WITH HIM TO.
NOW, WE SHOULD NOTE, AS PART
OF THE TEAM’S REPORTING, THERE
HAVE BEEN NO AT THIS POINT, IF
DONALD TRUMP IS FOUND GUILTY
IN THESE PROCEEDINGS AND IF
HE IS SENTENCED IN ANY TYPE
OF FORM JAIL, WHAT THAT WOULD
LOOK LIKE.
THOSE CONVERSATIONS OUR TEAM
IS TOLD HAD NOT HAPPENED YET.
>> NOW, AVERY, ONE OF
THE THINGS THE PROSECUTION
SAID THIS MORNING WAS THAT THEY
ARE NOT ANGLING FOR JAIL TIME
IN TERMS OF THIS TO FIND
THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN
CONTEMPT.
BUT BELIEVE TRUMP IS ANGLING
FOR THAT.
AND ONE OF HIS FUNDRAISING
EMAILS LEAST SAID SOMETHING
TO THE EFFECT THAT THEY CAN
THROW ME IN JAIL AT ANY MOMENT.
HOW HOW ARE THE POLITICS
OF THIS PLAYING OUT?
>> NOT ONLY THE POSSIBILITY
OF JAIL TIME IN THIS HEARING,
BUT IN GENERAL, HIS CALLS
TO SUPPORTERS?
HOW IS HE TRYING TO SIGNAL FROM
INSIDE OF A COURTROOM INSTEAD
OF OUTSIDE ON THE CAMPAIGN?
YOU KNOW, THE CRUX,
HIS CAMPAIGN IS REALLY THIS
CALL TO TELL HIS SUPPORTERS
HE IS A VICTIM OF POLITICAL
PERSECUTION.
AND CAN YOU IMAGINE
THE AMMUNITION THAT THE COURT
COULD GIVE TO TRUMP CAMPAIGN
SHOULD THEY THROW HIM IN JAIL
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT?
RIGHT.
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING
THAT WOULD BE USED TO THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN’S ADVANTAGE
TO TRY AND RALLY SUPPORTERS,
TO GET FOLKS TO GIVE TO HIS
CAMPAIGN.
BUT AGAIN, I JUST DON’T THAT IN
A SITUATION LIKE WE ARE IN IN A
GENERAL ELECTION, THAT THAT’S
GOING TO BROADEN HIS BASE.
ANY BOOK THAT IS GOING TO BE
SOMETHING THAT WOULD MOBILIZE
THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY HIM
TO SUPPORT HIM EVEN MORE.
>> AND EMILY, I WANT TO GO
BACK TO DAVID PACKER’S
TESTIMONY.
HE’S A KEY WITNESS IN THIS
TRIAL.
THE FIRST ONE CALLED BY THE
PROSECUTION.
THEY’RE IN A BREAK NOW, BUT HE
STILL FACE CROSS-EXAMINATION,
PERHAPS LATER TODAY OR MAYBE
TOMORROW.
>> SO TALK ME THROUGH
WHAT YOU’RE LISTENING FOR
IN THE OF HIS TESTIMONY.
>> WELL, ON CROSS-EXAMINATION,
I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR
THE DEFENSE TO GO REALLY HARD
ON HIM.
I THINK THEY HAVE TO SET
THE TONE NOW THAT ESSENTIALLY
THIS THAT THESE WITNESSES,
DAVID PECKER AND THEN IN THE
FUTURE IN PARTICULAR, MICHAEL
COHEN, JUST ARE NOT TELLING
THE TRUTH AT ALL BECAUSE
THE PROBLEM IS AT THE OF
THE DAY, THE JURY IS GOING
TO BE INSTRUCTED ON CREDIBILITY
AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE TOLD,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE
EVERYTHING A WITNESS SAYS.
YOU CAN BELIEVE SOME OF IT.
YOU CAN DISREGARD SOME OF IT.
AND FOR THE DEFENSE,
THEY REALLY NEED THE JURY
TO DISREGARD PRETTY MUCH
EVERYTHING THAT THESE WITNESSES
ARE SAYING.
SO THEY REALLY NEED TO PAINT
THEM AS JUST COMPLETE LIARS,
EITHER, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE AN
AX TO GRIND WITH PERHAPS
MICHAEL COHEN OR IN THIS CASE,
YOU KNOW, THEY’RE PROBABLY
GOING TO HAVE TO RELY ON THIS
NON AGREEMENT TO TRY TO ARGUE
THAT ESSENTIALLY THE GOVERNMENT
HAS STRONG ARM WITH THIS
TESTIMONY.
>> SO, OLIVIA, WHAT HAPPENS
ONCE PACKER’S DONE TESTIFYING?
>> WELL, ONCE HE’S DONE
TESTIFYING, THEY’RE GOING
TO TURN TO THEIR NEXT WITNESS,
WHOEVER THAT MAY BE.
THEY HAVEN’T SAID WHO IT IS AND
IT’S LIKELY THAT DONALD TRUMP’S
TEAM DOES NOT EVEN KNOW
WHO THE NEXT WITNESS IS GOING
TO BE, BECAUSE REMEMBER,
PROSECUTORS HAVE NOT WANTED
TO TURN OVER THAT INFORMATION
FOR, FEAR THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
GOING TO PUBLICLY ATTACK HIM.
BUT BEFORE PACKER IS DONE,
HE IS GOING TO BE
CROSS-EXAMINED BY DONALD
TRUMP’S TEAM.
AND IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY
INTERESTING TO SEE SORT OF WHAT
APPROACH THEY TAKE WITH HIM.
AND REMEMBER SOMETHING
THAT TRUMP’S
ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE SAID TO
THE JURY IN HIS OPENING
STATEMENTS, WHICH I AM SURE
THEY ARE GOING TO HIT ON,
IS THAT THERE IS NOTHING
ILLEGAL ABOUT A CATCH
AND SCHEME.
THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING
ILLEGAL ABOUT HUSH MONEY EITHER
.
AND THAT IS WHAT DAVID PECKER
IS TESTIFYING TO, SOMETHING
THAT IS THE CATCH AND KILL
SCHEME AND I THINK SOMETHING
THAT THEY ARE LIKELY GOING
TO HIT ON.
THE FACT THAT WHAT HE IS
TALKING ABOUT HERE DOES NOT
EXACTLY LAY BARE TO THE CRUX
OF THE CHARGES.
ARE THE 34 PIECES OF PAPER
THAT WERE ALLEGEDLY FALSIFIED
TO MAKE THOSE THOSE PAYMENTS
TO STORMY DANIELS.
SO IT MIGHT BE THAT THEY TRY
TO PUT SOME NIGHT AND DAY
BETWEEN DAVID PECKER CATCH
AND KILL SCHEME, WHICH
THEY HAVE TOLD THE JURY IS NOT
ILLEGAL AND THE PAYMENTS
OF WHICH THEY ARE FIGHTING
THOSE CHARGES.
SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING
TO SEE WHAT APPROACH TEAM TAKES
WITH PECKER WHEN THEY HAVE
THEIR SHOT AT HIM NEXT.
RIGHT.
AND WE JUST SAW THE FORMER
PRESIDENT LEAVE THE COURTROOM
AGAIN THAT IS NOW IN A QUICK
RECESS FOR DONALD TRUMP’S HUSH
MONEY TRIAL OF RUBEN

A LOT OF NEWS TODAY.
SO LET’S GET INTO.
LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS
PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR
EDWARD OUR MERLIN AWARDS
AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES
CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH

YOU START HERE.

STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE
COMING.
>> WHEREVER YOU GET
YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE.
>> MANUFACTURERS OF SOME
POPULAR DRUGS USED FOR WEIGHT
LOSS SAY SHORTAGES COULD LAST
SEVERAL MORE MONTHS.
PRODUCTION OF LOW STARTER DOSES
HAS INCREASED, BUT THOSE BUMPED
UP TO A HIGHER DOSE MAY HAVE A
HARDER TIME FINDING IT.
ABC JANAI NORMAN HAS MORE.
>> IT HAS NOW EFFECTIVELY
THE FDA REPORTING SHORTAGES
OF POPULAR WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS
DEEPENING AS PATIENTS SCRAMBLE
TO FILL PRESCRIPTIONS.
>> RIGHT NOW.
IT’S KIND OF AN EASTER EGG HUNT
FOR PATIENTS WHO TAKE THESE.
WE ARE HAVING A REALLY
DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING UP.
>> IT’S A VERY TOUGH TIME.
THE FDA REPORTING WEIGHT LOSS
MEDICATION, ZIP SOUND HAS
LIMITED AVAILABILITY IN ALL
DOSES EXCEPT FOR ONE THROUGH
JUNE.
ANOTHER POPULAR DRUG WITH GOBY
ALSO EXPERIENCING SHORTAGES
ON ALL BUT ONE DOSE.
BUT INDICATE WHEN IT MIGHT
EASE.
>> SO IN ONE GIVEN AFTERNOON
I BELIEVE I TRIED TO CONTACT
BETWEEN 20 AND 25 PHARMACIES
PATIENTS LIKE TARA DICKENS,
MASSACHUSETTS, HAVING TO SWITCH
TO A COMPOUNDED VERSION OF THE
DRUG AND IT WAS VERY
FRUSTRATING.
>> I DIDN’T WANT TO MESS IT UP.
I DIDN’T WANT TO MISS DOSES.
DOCTORS, THE MANUFACTURERS
ARE HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING
UP WITH THE DEMAND.
I’VE HAD PATIENTS HAVE TO
DRIVE 100 PLUS MILES TO FIND
THEIR APPROPRIATE DOSE
OF WEGOVY.
OR IS THAT FOUND.
BOTH NOVO NORDISK, THE MAKER
OF LOCKERBY AND ELI LILLY,
THE MAKER OF ZEP BOUND, SAY
THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE
SHORTAGES, BUT THEY PLAN
TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVERALL
SUPPLY.
>> YOU WANT TO CALL ALL YOUR
LOCAL PHARMACIES AND SEE
WHAT THE SUPPLY IS ON A DAY
TO DAY BASIS.
AT TIMES, PATIENTS MIGHT
HAVE TO ALTER THE DOSE OF THEIR
MEDICATION BECAUSE OF THE
SUPPLY LIMITATION.
>> SO, DR. JOHNSON,
THEY’RE SAYING THAT YOUR
PROVIDER MIGHT HAVE TO SEND
OVER NEW PRESCRIPTION FOR
A LOWER DOSE SO THAT YOU CAN
CONTINUE TO TAKE THE MEDICATION
UNTIL THE SUPPLY INCREASES.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THERE
ARE OPTIONS OUT THERE
TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR PROVIDER.
>> DIANE JANAI NORMAN, THANK

9000 MILES AWAY IN SOUTHEAST
ASIA.
IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE
AND UNETHICAL TO BE EXPORTING
PLASTIC WASTE TO OTHER
COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT
HAVE RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE
SET UP TO HANDLE THIS PLASTIC
WASTE TRADE AS PART OF A
COMPLEX SYSTEM THAT THE U.N.
SAYS IS TOO OFTEN PLAGUED
BY ILLEGALITY.
>> AS PART OF AN 18 MONTH
INVESTIGATION, WE PUT TRACKERS
INTO PLASTIC EARMARKED FOR
RECYCLING AND DROPPED THEM OFF.
AT 46, MAJOR RETAIL STORES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
A MAJORITY OF THE BAGS UP
AT LANDFILLS OR INCINERATORS.
BUT THREE OF THE 19 TRACKERS
DROPPED OFF AT WAL-MART STORES
ENDED UP IN SOUTHEAST ASIA,
TWO OF THEM IN MALAYSIA, NOT
FAR WHERE POORLY PAYING LIVES.
>> WE WANT LET PEOPLE WHO SAY
WE WAYS WITH THEM, THEY SHOULD
KNOW, THAT WE NEED YOUR HELP.
>> FOR OVER A YEAR, WAL-MART,
THEY WERE WILLING TO TALK
BUT NEVER MADE ANYONE AVAILABLE
FOR AN INTERVIEW.
>> SO WE DECIDED TO ATTEND
A CONFERENCE WHERE THE CHIEF
SUSTAINABLE OFFICER WAS
SPEAKING.
HI, MR. COCHRAN.
I’M MATT GUTMAN WITH ABC NEWS.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
WE ARE DOING A STORY ABOUT THE
PLASTIC THAT WAS EARMARKED.
PLASTIC BAGS WERE FOR RECYCLING
BY WAL-MART.
YES.
AND ENDED UP AS PLASTIC WASTE
IN INDONESIA.
AND MALAYSIA.
THESE ARE THE PICTURES OF THE
FACILITIES THAT YOUR PLASTIC
ENDED UP IN.
AND INDONESIA.
>> THAT’S IN MALAYSIA.
THAT’S A GOOD TIME TO TALK
ABOUT THAT.
I’D LOVE TO HEAR.
MORE ABOUT.
WELL, WE HAVE A ROOM, ACTUALLY,
RIGHT HERE, IF YOU WOULD.
SORRY.
IT WOULD BE.
LET’S TALK ABOUT IT.
BUT AFTER WEEKS OF BACK
AND FORTH, THEY DECLINED
TO TALK ABOUT IT AND DECLINED
TO ANSWER ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS
ABOUT OUR.
INSTEAD, THEY PROVIDED
A STATEMENT THAT SAID IN PART,
WE STRIVE TO DO THE RIGHT
THING, NOTING WHILE
THEIR PROGRAM IS IMPERFECT, IT
PROVIDES RECYCLING ACCESS TO
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
THEY SAID THEY ARE COMMITTED
TO IMPROVING THEIR RECYCLING,
INCLUDING NEW CONTRACTS
REQUIRING.
COMPANIES PROVE COLLECTED
MATERIALS ARE RECYCLED AS MUCH
AS.
>> DIANE.
OUR FINDINGS COME AS WORLD

BREAKING NEWS FIRST ON ABC NEWS
LIVE, A FIERY START TO DONALD
TRUMP’S CRIMINAL TRIAL.
THE JUDGE LASHING OUT AT THE
FORMER PRESIDENT’S LAWYER
SAYING HE’S LOSING CREDIBILITY.
THE PROSECUTION’S EXPERT WAS
FIRST WITNESS ALSO TAKING
STAND.
WE ARE LIVE OUTSIDE
THE COURTHOUSE.
ESCALATING TENSIONS.
COLLEGE CAMPUSES NEARING
A BOILING POINT AS PROTESTS
OVER THE WAR SPREAD TO MORE
SCHOOLS.
THE HEIGHTENED ANXIETY AT SOME
OF THE NATION’S LEADING
COLLEGES.
AND THE URGENT FOR AN EX-COP
ACCUSED OF MURDER.
POLICE SAY HE KILLED
HIS EX-WIFE AND GIRLFRIEND
AND ABDUCTED A CHILD.
DISTURBING NEW DETAILS EMERGING
IN THE INVESTIGATION.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.
I’M PHILLIPS.
OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR,
BURYING BAD PRESS AND BLASTING
ON TRIAL.
IT’S BEEN A FIERY START TO
TODAY’S HISTORIC CRIMINAL TRIAL
OF A FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP, IN COURT THIS FACING
THOSE FELONY CHARGES OF MAKING
HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS TO ADULT
FILM ACTRESS STORMY DANIELS,
AS WELL AS ALLEGATIONS
HE VIOLATED A GAG ORDER.
THE JURY NOW HEARING TESTIMONY
FROM FORMER "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
PUBLISHER DAVID PECKER,
WHO PROSECUTORS SAY WAS
THE EYES AND EARS OF THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND TAKING PART
IN A SEME TO BUY VERY
UNFLATTERING STORIES ABOUT HIS
GOOD FRIEND DONALD TRUMP.
BECKER’S TESTIMONY FOLLOWS
THAT COMBATIVE HEARING
ABOUT THE ORDER WITH JUDGE
JUAN MERCHAN REPEATEDLY
ADMONISHING TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS,
SAYING THEY WEREN’T ANSWERING
QUESTIONS.
THE LACK EVIDENCE IS CAUSING
THEM TO LOSE CREDIBILITY
WITH THE COURT.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT NOW, UPPING THE CLAIMS
THAT HE VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER.
11 TIMES NOW, OUR SENIOR
INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT,
AARON KATERSKY OUTSIDE
THE COURTHOUSE IN NEW YORK
CITY.
HE JOINS ME ALONG WITH OUR
LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR.
SO, AARON, DAVID PECKER HASN’T
TALKED TO TRUMP SOME TIME.
YOU THINK THAT THIS HAS MADE IT
ANY EASIER TO TESTIFY, LIE
ABOUT ALL THESE CATCH AND KILL
OPERATIONS?
WELL, HE’S PRETTY FLUENT IN IN
ANSWERING THE QUESTION SO FAR,
BEGINNING WITH CAN YOU IDENTIFY
DONALD TRUMP?
AND HE POINTED TO THEM SEATED
THERE JUST A FEW FEET AWAY,
A BIG ON DAVID PECKER,
HIS FACE, AND DONALD TRUMP SORT
OF PICKED HIS CHIN, GAVE HIM
A GRIN, CLOSED MOUTHED AND THEN
ON WENT TESTIMONY AND PECKER
DISCUSSED HATCHING A SECRET,
AS HE CALLED IT, WITH TRUMP
AND MICHAEL COHEN DURING A TO
25 MINUTE MEETING AT TRUMP
TOWER BACK IN AUGUST OF 2015.
TRUMP HAD ALREADY ANNOUNCED
HIS CANDIDACY TO SEEK THE WHITE
HOUSE, AND PECKER SAID AGREED
TO BE THE CAMPAIGN’S EYES
AND EARS, PARTICULARLY KYRA,
WHEN IT CAME TO STORIES
ABOUT WOMEN.
PECKER TESTIFIED THAT HE
THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE A LOT
OF WOMEN WHO WOULD BE COMING
FORWARD TO TELL STORIES
ABOUT TRUMP.
AND HE SAID THAT HE COULD SCOOP
THEM UP AND MAKE SURE
THEY NEVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY
.
AND THIS THEN WAS PUT INTO
ACTION AND THE JURY SAW IT
KYRA.
ALL OF THE HEADLINES,
"THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER" RAN
IN 2016 LAUDING TRUMP AND
DISPARAGING.
AND IF YOU’LL THINK
BACK TO THAT TIME, YOU KNOW,
BUNGLING SURGEON BEN CARSON
IMPLANTS SPONGE IN PATIENTS
BRAIN.
THAT’S THE KIND OF FARE
THE JURY’S SEEING NOW, HUH?
DAVID PECKER ALSO GIVING A LOT
OF DETAILS ABOUT HIS CLOSE
WITH DONALD TRUMP.
IN ADDITION TO TRUMP’S FORMER
FIXER AND FORMER LAWYER MICHAEL
COHEN.
>> YEAH.
SO THAT THAT THOSE ARE THE
TWO KEY WITNESSES HERE, RIGHT?
YOU’VE GOT MICHAEL COHEN
AS WELL AS DAVID PECKER TYING
THE THREAD BETWEEN THIS
ALL THESE BAD STORIES
AND DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE
THE PROSECUTION HAS ALREADY
MADE SOME HEADWAY IN KILLING
THE POTENTIAL DEFENSE THAT THIS
WAS ABOUT NOT UPSETTING
HIS FAMILY, NOT MELANIA KNOW
ABOUT THESE ALLEGED AFFAIRS,
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER WOMEN,
THAT BEING THE EYES AND THE
EARS OF THE CAMPAIGN THAT IS
CONNECTING THE LATER
THE $130,000 PAYMENT TO STORMY
DANIELS TO KEEP HER QUIET
TO HELP HIM GET ELECTED
THAT HELP HIM GET ELECTED PEACE
THAT IS CRITICAL
THE GOVERNMENT’S CASE AS WELL
AS DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF.
AND WE HAVEN’T SEEN IN MANY
OF THESE CASES THIS KIND
OF DIRECT EVIDENCE.
I HAD CONVERSATION WITH DONALD
TRUMP HIMSELF, WHICH IT SOUNDS
LIKE DAVID PECKER JUST
TESTIFIED TO, AND NOW TESTIFIED
TO THAT.
BUT I JUST I WAS TALKING
WITH MICHAEL COHEN, AND HE JUST
TO TEXTED ME THIS.
>> KIM, I WANT TO GET
YOUR RESPONSE.
HE SAID AFTER THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION HAD ME REMANDED
TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOR
A TOTAL OF 51 DAYS, I LEARNED
THAT I’M MUCH STRONGER THAN
I EVER IMAGINED ENOUGH
TO ENSURE THAT TRUE TRUTH
WILL PREVAIL OVER DONALD
AND HIS ACOLYTES.
INCESSANT LYING AND DENIGRATION
OF ME IN THE COURT HALLWAYS OR
IN HIS ON HIS UNTRUE SOCIAL
PLATFORM, REGARDLESS.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, SO
DEPENDING ON WHAT PECKER SAYS,
DOESN’T THAT JUST WHAT MICHAEL
COHEN HAS BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG
AND WHAT AARON JUST SAID,
THE FACT THAT THERE’S THERE’S
A EVIDENCE THERE ARE HEADLINES
THAT THAT THEY’RE SEEING JURY’S
NOT JUST GIVING, GETTING
MICHAEL COHEN ON THE STAND
AND DECIDING, IS HE TRUTHFUL
IN HEARING CROSS-EXAMINATION
AROUND HIS PERJURY TO CONGRESS
WHEN HE WAS STILL LOYAL
TO DONALD TRUMP?
THEY’RE SEEING THIS BIGGER
PICTURE THAT’S BEING PAINTED
BY DONALD, BUDDY, FORMER BUDDY,
MR. PECKER, AND THIS
THE CORROBORATING EVIDENCE
SAYING DON’T LISTEN JUST
TO MICHAEL COHEN, SEE HOW ALL
THESE OTHER PIECES WERE
UNFOLDING IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
AND NOW WE’RE GIVING YOU OTHER
INFORMATION TO CONFIRM
HIS CREDIBILITY AS HE SITS HERE
TODAY HAVING, CHANGED HIS STORY
AND DECIDED, I’M WITH THIS RULE
OF LAW.
I’M NOT ANY LONGER WITH THIS
CRIMINAL DEFENDANT.
>> SO, ERIN IF TRUMP IS HELD
IN CONTEMPT, HE FACES ANYTHING
FROM A WARNING POTENTIAL JAIL
TIME.
HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING
OUT?
I MEAN, YOU REALLY THINK
TRUMP WILL BE TAKEN TO JAIL?
BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE MATTER
WHAT SIDE YOU’RE ON, NOBODY
REALLY THINKS THAT WE’RE GOING
TO SEE HIM IN HANDCUFFS
AND PROSECUTORS MADE
CLEAR TODAY, KYRA, AT THIS
POINT, THEY WERE NOT ASKING FOR
TRUMP BE JAILED OVER WHAT THEY
SAID WERE MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS
OF THE JUDGE’S GAG ORDER.
THEY SAID A FINE OF $1,000 FOR
EACH OFFENDING SOCIAL MEDIA
POST WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE
.
BUT I’LL TELL YOU, ACCORDING
TO SOURCES THAT HAVE BEEN
BRIEFED ON THIS WHOLE
THE SECRET SERVICE IS NOW
HAVING DISCUSSIONS JUST
INTERNALLY, AND THEY’RE RATHER
CASUAL AT THIS POINT ABOUT WHAT
TO DO.
SHOULD JUDGE MERCHAN HOLD
TRUMP IN CONTEMPT IN ORDER HIM
INTO SOME KIND OF SHORT TERM
CONFINEMENT?
WHAT HAPPEN IF A SECRET SERVICE
PROTECTEE IS IS TO JAIL EVEN
TEMPORARILY?
THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE NOW
UNDER WAY CAROL.
>> ALL RIGHT.
AARON KATERSKY KIM WEHLE, THANK
BOTH SO MUCH.
AND AS TENSIONS ESCALATE OVER
THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR, PROTESTS
CONTINUE ERUPTING ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES ACROSS, THE COUNTRY.
DOZENS OF ARRESTS HAVE ALREADY
BEEN MADE IN SOME OF THE MOST
PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES, LIKE
COLUMBIA, CALTECH.
>> WHY YOU MIGHT EVEN YALE MAY
RECALL THE SITTING CROSS-LEGGED
TOGETHER IN A CIRCLE AND THE
NYPD CAME IN AND ARRESTED US ON
MY ONE IMMEDIATELY.
>> BUT IT CARRIED US WITH
OUR HANDS BEHIND OUR BACKS SO
POLICE IN RIOT GEAR HAVE BEEN
BREAKING UP THE CROWDS
AND ARRESTING HUNDREDS
OF PROTESTERS OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS.
BUT DESPITE THOSE POLICE
EFFORTS, THE PROTESTS DO
CONTINUE TO GROW
WITH ENCAMPMENTS AT THE CENTER
OF CAMPUSES.
ALSO, STUDENTS ARE BARRICADING
THEMSELVES INSIDE THE SCHOOLS.
COLUMBIA IS NOW ANNOUNCING
THAT IT’S MOVING TO HYBRID
LEARNING FOR THE REST OF THE
SEMESTER.
SOME PROTESTERS ENGAGED IN A
STANDOFF WITH AUTHORITIES
FOLLOWING IN ORDER TO VACATE.
OUR STEPHANIE RAMOS IS STILL
RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT
ALL IN NEW YORK CITY.
STEPHANIE, CLEARLY WE SEE
MORE POLICE, BUT WHAT OTHER
STEPS ARE THE SCHOOLS TAKING
TO TRY AND THE SITUATION
AND PUT AN END TO THESE
PROTESTS?
>> WELL, WE’VE CERTAINLY HEARD
FROM THE ADMINISTRATION HERE
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
THEY’VE SAID THAT THEY WANTED
TO DOUBLE ON THEIR CAMPUS.
PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS ACROSS
CAMPUS, BUT HESITANT TO CALL
IN THE NYPD, EVEN THOUGH SEEN
THE NYPD OFFICERS HERE
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND HERE
ON BROADWAY AND ALSO
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAMPUS
BASICALLY, IT’S TIGHT SECURITY
HERE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
BUT THEY HAVE STEPPED UP
THEIR CAMPUS PUBLIC SAFETY
OFFICERS.
>> AND WE’RE SEEING WE WERE
HERE YESTERDAY, KYRA, BY THE
WAY.
AND WE JUST WANT TO MENTION
AND YEAH, WE SAW A LOT OF NYPD
OFFICERS ON ON CORNERS ON THAT,
YOU KNOW, SURROUNDING
THE CAMPUS.
AND THEY SEEMINGLY HAD
THEIR RIOT GEAR ON, HELMETS,
BATONS.
BUT AT NO POINT DO WE SEE THEM
ENGAGE WITH ANY OF THE
PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS
OR THOSE THAT WERE PRO ISRAEL
JUST RIGHT NEXT TO THOSE
PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS.
HOWEVER, THAT’S OBVIOUSLY NOT
THE CASE.
AT OTHER ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
EVEN HERE IN NEW YORK CITY
AT NYU, IT WAS A MUCH DIFFERENT
THERE.
WE KNOW THAT SECURITY IS VERY
TIGHT THERE AT NYU, WHICH SOUTH
OF US.
BUT THAT IS THE SITUATION
RIGHT NOW.
WE DON’T SEE ANY DEMONSTRATORS
HERE RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY
MOMENT.
BUT THAT’S THAT’S WHAT WE SAW
YESTERDAY.
IT WAS KIND OF ON AND OFF
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
>> SO COLUMBIA’S PROTESTS
REALLY HAVE GOTTEN MOST OF THE
ATTENTION UP TO RIGHT NOW.
SO WHAT ARE STUDENTS
ACTUALLY LOOKING TO ACHIEVE
AT THESE OTHER CAMPUSES?
AND DO YOU KNOW IF ALL THESE
STUDENTS HAVE SORT OF BEEN
ONLINE COMMUNICATING
AND COORDINATING THESE PROTESTS
?
THEY HAVEN’T.
IT SEEMS AS THOUGH MANY OF THE
STUDENTS AT OTHER CAMPUSES,
FROM WHAT WE’VE HEARD FROM
THE VIDEOS, THAT THEY’VE SHARED
ONLINE, IS THAT THEY ARE
SETTING UP CAMPS, SETTING UP
THEIR TENTS, AND THEY
ARE MARCHING.
THEY’RE DEMONSTRATING
IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE STUDENTS
HERE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY,
MANY OF THEM CHANTING, YELLING
HERE OUTSIDE OF THE GATES
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
YESTERDAY THAT.
THEY WANT THE UNIVERSITY
TO DIVEST FROM COMPANIES
THAT BENEFITING FROM ISRAEL.
MANY OF THOSE DEMONSTRATORS
TELLING THAT THEY’RE NOT GOING
TO STOP.
THEY’RE GOING TO KEEP PUSHING
FOR THIS AS AS THEY’VE DONE
BEFORE.
AND YOU’RE NOT
THAT SPECIFICALLY YEARS PRIOR,
BUT WHAT THEY’VE SEEN
HISTORICALLY SO MANY OF THOSE
DEMONSTRATORS SPREADING
THE WORD NOT JUST HERE IN NEW
YORK CITY, BUT OBVIOUSLY ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
>> AND FINALLY, STEPHANIE,
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FIRSTHAND
FROM, STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS
PARTICIPATING IN THESE
PROTESTS?
I KNOW HAD A CHANCE TO TALK
TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
>> SO ONE JEWISH STUDENT
IN PARTICULAR WE SPOKE
WITH YESTERDAY SAID THAT SHE
UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE
ARE DEMONSTRATORS THAT WANT
TO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD,
THEY HAVE A MESSAGE.
THEY, THE UNIVERSITY,
TO FULFILL THEIR INTENT,
TO FULFILL THIS CERTAIN GOAL.
BUT THERE ARE ALSO
DEMONSTRATORS.
SHE, SHE TELLS US, THAT ARE
INTIMIDATING THE JEWISH
COMMUNITY HERE AND BEING
HARASSING.
AND THIS IS WHY THE COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HAVE AN
OPTION NOW WHETHER TO ATTEND
THEIR CLASSES ONLINE OR
IN PERSON.
WE’RE ALSO HEARING FROM
DEMONSTRATORS THAT SAY
THEY WANT THEIR MESSAGE HEARD.
ONE PROTESTER TELLING ME
THAT THIS IS A VERY DELICATE
SITUATION, OF COURSE, BUT THERE
ARE MANY FACTORS THAT GO INTO
THIS.
AND WE HAVE SOME SOUND FROM
HIM.
>> TAKE A LISTEN.
I DON’T KNOW.
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME
IS GOING TO BE, BUT I KNOW
THAT THESE STUDENTS
ARE INCREDIBLY BRAVE TO BE
THAT THEIR ADMINISTRATION,
WHAT THEY ARE PAYING VERY
LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY
TO DIVEST FROM ISRAEL.
SO WHAT I KNOW IS THAT
IT’S ONLY ACTIONS, FRANKLY,
THAT ARE CAPABLE OF.
>> THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS
THAT WE SPOKE WITH YESTERDAY
THAT WERE SET UP ON CAMPUS.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TO GO ON THERE
AND SEE IF THEY ARE STILL
THERE.
BUT AGAIN, THERE ARE MANY
DEMONSTRATORS, WHETHER
IT’S STUDENTS, PEOPLE WHO
ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE
UNIVERSITY AND PROFESSORS FROM
OTHER COLLEGES THAT SAY
THEY WILL NOT STOP BACK FACULTY
.
>> ALL RIGHT.
STEPHANIE, THANKS SO MUCH.
NOW TO BREAKING NEWS RIGHT HERE
IN WASHINGTON WHERE A MAJOR
VOTE IS TAKING PLACE IN THE
SENATE, ARE HOLDING
TWO PROCEDURAL VOTES ON FOUR
FOREIGN AID BILLS THAT INCLUDE
FUNDING FOR UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND
TAIWAN ALSO TIED INTO
THE PACKAGE, THE U.S. BAN
ON TIK TOK MAJORITY LEADER
CHUCK TELLING HIS FELLOW
SENATORS IT’S TIME TO GET
THE JOB DONE.
>> LET US NOT DELAY THIS.
LET US NOT PROLONG LET US NOT
KEEP OUR FRIENDS AROUND
THE WORLD WAITING FOR A MOMENT
LONGER.
I WILL NOT MINCE WORDS FROM
MEMBERS IN MY OWN PARTY TAKING
RESPONSIBILITY OF AMERICAN
LARGELY TODAY.
THE SENATE PRESIDENT.
AND WE MUST NOT FRAGMENT.
>> JOINING ME NOW, SENIOR WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT WHO’S THERE
ON CAPITOL HILL.
SELINA, HOW IS THIS EXPECTED
TO PLAY OUT IN THE SENATE?
>> YEAH, CAROL, THIS
IS ACTUALLY EXPECTED TO SPEED
THROUGH THE SENATE.
THIS HAS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
REMEMBER, WAS JUST A COUPLE
OF MONTHS AGO WHEN THE SENATE
HAD PASSED THEIR OWN VERSION
OF THIS BILL, WHICH WAS VERY
SIMILAR, $95 BILLION IN FOREIGN
AID EXCEPT FOR WITHOUT TIKTOK
PART.
NOW, THE QUESTION IS, HOW LONG
IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?
IT COULD PASS AS AS TONIGHT,
AS LATE AS TOMORROW NIGHT.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOW
THE SENATORS DEBATE THIS
MATTER.
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE
AGAINST THIS.
YOU HAVE HARDLINE REPUBLICANS
WHO DON’T WANT TO SEND ANY
MORE AID TO UKRAINE.
I WAS JUST SPEAKING
TO REPUBLICAN SENATOR SCHMIDT,
WHO SAYS HE WANTS TO SEE
ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN IT COMES
TO THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN AID THAT’S GOING TO FUND
HELP UKRAINE AND SUPPORT THEM.
>> AND THEN THERE ARE ALSO
PROGRESSIVES LIKE
SENATOR SANDERS WHO DON’T WANT
TO SEND UNCONDITIONAL AID
TO ISRAEL.
BUT DESPITE OF THAT PUSHBACK,
THIS IS EXPECTED TO PASS
WITH THAT BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
KYRA.
>> AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SPEAKING
TO ZELENSKYY ALL ABOUT UKRAINE
JUST YESTERDAY.
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT TOOK
PLACE ON THAT CALL YOU YAKIR.
THEY SPOKE BY PHONE.
THE PRESIDENT VOWED TO SIGN
THIS FOREIGN AID BILL INTO LAW
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
AND REAFFIRMED AMERICA’S
SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE.
THIS IS A BIG WIN FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO HAS BEEN
PUSHING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS.
AND NOW IT’S ON THE CUSP
OF BEING AT THE FINISH LINE.
AND THIS COULD REALLY CHANGE
THE TIDE POTENTIALLY FOR
UKRAINE.
THEY’VE BEEN RUNNING OUT
OF AMMUNITION.
THIS IS GOING TO RESUPPLY
THEIR DEFENSES AND, COULD HELP
SLOW RUSSIAN ADVANCES.
>> ALL RIGHT, SELINA WANG
THEY’RE UP ON CAPITOL HILL FOR
US TODAY.
>> SELINA, THANK YOU.
SO PRESIDENT BIDEN IS TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF TIMING AND HEADS
TO TAMPA, TAMPA, RATHER, JUST
ONE WEEK AHEAD OF THE STATE’S
SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN THAT’S
TAKING EFFECT.
HE PLANS ON GIVING REMARKS
ON ABORTION AS STATE DEMOCRATS
ALSO TRY TO USE THE POPULARITY
OF ABORTION TO GAIN VOTES COME
NOVEMBER.
THAT’LL BE ON THE SAME
AS PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
ELIZABETH SCHULZE THAT THE
WHITE HOUSE COVERING THAT FOR
US.
YOU KNOW, THE LAST TIME THERE
WAS AN ABORTION BALLOT IN,
FLORIDA PRESIDENT OBAMA WON
THE STATE.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS YEAR’S
ABORTION BALLOT WILL IMPACT
BIDEN?
WELL, LOOK HERE.
NO DOUBT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN
HOPES THAT IT CAN SEE THIS AS A
WAY TO VICTORY.
FLORIDA, WE’VE SEEN
THE CAMPAIGN SAY THAT EVERY
TIME THAT ABORTION BEEN
ON THE BALLOT SINCE THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED
ROE V. WADE AND EVERY STATE
WHERE ABORTION HAS BEEN PUT
TO THE VOTERS, THE ABORTION
RIGHTS POSITION HAS, AND THAT
INCLUDES IN CONSERVATIVE
STATES.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT STATES LIKE
KANSAS AND OHIO.
SO THE CAMPAIGN SEES THIS AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO, MOBILIZE
TURNOUT.
IT SEES IT AS A WAY TO GET
VOTERS OUT IN AN ISSUE
THAT THEY SAY IMPORTANT
TO THEM.
WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR VICE
PRESIDENT KAMALA REALLY HAS
BEEN THE MESSENGER ON THIS
ISSUE OF ABORTION.
SHE’S BEEN FRONT AND CENTER
BUT TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN
TAKING IT HEAD ON AND NOTABLY
IN THE STATE, FLORIDA, WHERE
WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT BAN
GO INTO EFFECT IN ABOUT A WEEK.
AND WE’RE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A VOTER,
KYRA.
SO THEN YOU HAVE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO’S
A FLORIDA VOTER.
WHAT’S HIS STRATEGY HERE.
RIGHT.
WELL, SO AND THE QUESTION IS,
WHERE IS HE GOING TO COME DOWN?
BECAUSE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
SAID RECENTLY THIS IS UP TO THE
STATES.
WE KNOW THAT HIS POSITION
ON ABORTION HAS CONTINUED
TO CHANGE.
IN THE SAME BREATH THAT HE SAYS
IT’S UP TO THE STATES.
HE TAKES CREDIT FOR POINTING
FOR NOMINATING THREE OF
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICES
WHO EVENTUALLY OVERTURNED V
WADE.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IN AN
INTERVIEW LAST YEAR, FORMER
PRESIDENT SAID THAT THIS
SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN,
THE STRICT BAN THAT IS SET
TO GO INTO EFFECT IN FLORIDA,
IS TERRIBLE THAT IT GOES TOO
FAR.
HE HASN’T REALLY WEIGHED ON HOW
HE HIMSELF WOULD VOTE ON
A BALLOT INITIATIVE.
AND IT REALLY TO THAT CORE
ISSUE FOR THE FORMER
PRESIDENT OF HE UNDERSTANDS
THAT THE PUBLIC THAT A LOT
OF VOTERS THINK THAT THESE
STRICT LAWS GO TOO FAR.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO ALIENATE
THOSE VOTERS, BUT HE ALSO WANTS
,TO TAKE CREDIT, CONTINUE
TO GALVANIZE HIS BASE, WHO HE
HE THAT THEY APPRECIATE THAT HE
CONTINUES TO TAKE CREDIT FOR
APPOINTING THOSE SUPREME COURT
JUSTICES KYRA.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE’LL TRACK
HIS ELIZABETH SCHULZE AT THE
WHITE HOUSE FOR US.
>> THANK YOU.
COMING UP, A MANHUNT RIGHT NOW

OF KILLING HIS EX-WIFE,
HIS GIRLFRIEND, AND THEN

MIDDLE EAST.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING
ABOUT MIGRANT CRISIS.
FAST.
STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOME FUN
BETWEEN AS BILLIONAIRES
AND SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
THE MOVE STARTED CHASING A DOG.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
AMERICA THIS MORNING AMERICA’S
NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS
ON ABC NEWS.
WHY GLAD YOU’RE STAYING
WITH US.
POLICE IN WASHINGTON STATE SAY
THAT A MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR
AN EX-COP ACCUSED OF KILLING
BOTH HIS EX-WIFE GIRLFRIEND.
AN AMBER ALERT HAS ALSO BEEN
ISSUED AFTER POLICE SAY
THAT SUSPECT ELIAS HUSAR
ABDUCTED HIS ONE YEAR OLD
SON IN THE TOWN OF WEST
RICHLAND.
THE FORMER YAKIMA POLICE
IS SAID TO BE ARMED
AND DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY
FLEEING TOWARD THE MEXICAN
BORDER.
OUR ALEX STONE IS FOLLOWING
THE STORY, JOINS US NOW.
SO, ALEX, WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW
JUST ABOUT HOW THIS
ALL UNFOLDED?
>> WELL, WE ARE TALKING
TO POLICE AND LEARNING
A LITTLE BIT MORE RIGHT NOW,
KYRA, THAT IT IS BELIEVED
THAT HE WAS DUE IN COURT
YESTERDAY MORNING,
ACCUSED OF RAPING A 16 YEAR OLD
GIRL, HAVING A RELATIONSHIP
WITH A TEENAGE GIRL.
HE WAS A SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER IN YAKIMA AND ALLEGEDLY
ASSAULTING ANOTHER TEENAGE
GIRL DUE IN COURT YESTERDAY,
BUT INSTEAD OUT ON BAIL,
ALLEGEDLY GOING TO AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHILE
ELEMENTARY IN WEST RICHLAND
AND ALLEGEDLY AT THAT POINT
KILLING HIS EX-WIFE, THEN GOING
TO A HOME AND KILLING HIS WHO
HAD BEEN REPORTED BE HIS
UNDERAGE GIRLFRIEND, TAKING
HIS SON AND THEN TAKING OFF
FROM THERE, AND NOW HAS BEEN
ON THE RUN.
THERE A NATIONWIDE AMBER ALERT
THAT IS IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT HE MAY
HAVE BEEN SPOTTED IN PORTLAND,
OREGON, THIS MORNING, KYRA.
OKAY.
SO LET’S TALK ABOUT ADDITIONAL
LEADS THAT ARE GIVING POLICE
THE IDEA THAT HE COULD
BE HEADING MEXICO.
WELL, THERE WAS THAT THOUGHT
THAT HE WAS.
WHAT YOU SEE RIGHT HERE, THAT’S
A SILVER COROLLA.
BUT OVERNIGHT, WE UNDERSTAND
NOW POLICE ARE CONFIRMING
THAT HE WAS SPOTTED
ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AT A
CONVENIENCE STORE IN THE
PORTLAND AREA, DRIVING A DARK
SEDAN.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE AT SOME POINT
HE SWITCHED VEHICLES AND WENT
INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, STILL
BELIEVED TO HAVE HIS ONE
YEAR OLD SON WITH HIM STILL
ON THE RUN.
BUT IT APPEARS HE’S GENERALLY
IN THE SAME AREA, NOT HEADING
TO MEXICO, BUT THEY’RE FOR HIM
RIGHT NOW.
ALL RIGHT.
GOT IT.
WE’LL TRACK IT.
ALEX, THANKS AND A CRISIS
AVERTED.
THE FAA IS INVESTIGATING YET
ANOTHER CLOSE CALL IT A MAJOR
AIRPORT, THIS TIME AT JFK
IN NEW YORK.
OFFICIALS SAY THAT FOUR PLANES
GOT CLEARANCE TO CROSS AN
ACTIVE RUNWAY AT THE SAME.
A FIFTH WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF.
OUR IKE EJIOCHI HAS STORY.
ANOTHER NEAR DISASTER NARROWLY
AVERTED AT ONE OF THE NATION’S
BUSIEST AIRPORTS.
FAA INVESTIGATORS LOOKING AN

TO ZURICH.
>> THE PLANE CLEARED FOR
TAKEOFF AT JFK WITH ONE
SEVEN KILL.
>> ONLY FOUR LEFT THERE, SAY
THE PILOT BEGINNING SPEED DOWN
THE RUNWAY, HITTING 40 MILES
PER HOUR.
THE PILOT THEN FORCED TO ABORT
AFTER SPOTTING FOUR JETS
PREPARING TO CROSS THE SAME
RUNWAY, PUTTING THEM ON A
COLLISION COURSE TO TAKE OFF
TRAFFIC ON THE RUNWAY.
>> THE MOVIE FOUR AIRCRAFT,
OF COURSE, AN ACTIVE RUNWAY
AND ONE CONTROLLER, NOT TALKING
TO ANOTHER INDICATES A SPECIAL
LEVEL OF STRESS.
>> THIS NEAR-MISS CAME JUST
A DAY BEFORE ANOTHER NEAR
CATASTROPHIC CLOSE CALL
AT WASHINGTON’S REAGAN
NATIONAL AIRPORT.
>> WITH THAT IN PLACE BEFORE
A JETBLUE FLIGHT CLEARED FOR
TAKEOFF, FORCED TO SLAM ON ITS
BRAKES AFTER AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROL NOTICED THEY CLEARED
A SOUTHWEST PLANE TO TAXI
ACROSS THE SAME RUNWAY WITH 137
STAFF.
WE STAFF WE WERE CLEARED
TO CROSS THE RUNWAY FOR THE TWO
PACK PLANES COMING WITHIN 400
FEET OF EACH OTHER.
>> THE FAA ACKNOWLEDGING
IT’S STAFFING SHORTAGES, VOWING
TO DO MORE TO REDUCE AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROLLER FATIGUE.
>> THE FAA SAYS
THEY’RE BEGINNING TO ROLL OUT
A NEW AIRFIELD.
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
THAT MINIMIZE THE RISK OF CLOSE
CALLS.
THIS INCIDENT HERE AT JFK
IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION

>> AND GOOD AFTERNOON,
EVERYONE.
I’M KYRA PHILLIPS.
OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR BEARING
BAD AND BLASTING WITNESSES
ON TRIAL.
IT’S BEEN A FIERY START.
TODAY’S HISTORIC CRIMINAL CASE
OF A FORMER PRESIDENT, DONALD
TRUMP IN COURT THIS HOUR FACING
THOSE FELONY CHARGES OF MAKING
HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS TO STAR
STORMY DANIELS, AS WELL
AS ALLEGATIONS HE VIOLATED
A GAG ORDER.
THE JURY RIGHT NOW HEARING
TESTIMONY FROM FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER, WHO PROSECUTORS
SAY WAS THE EYES AND EARS
OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
AND TAKING PART IN THAT SCHEME
TO BUY AND BURY ALL THOSE
UNFLATTERING STORIES ABOUT HIS
GOOD FRIEND DONALD TRUMP.
BECKER’S TESTIMONY FOLLOWS,
THAT COMBATIVE HEARING
ABOUT THE GAG ORDER WITH JUDGE
JUAN MERCHAN ADMONISHING
TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS, SAYING
THAT THEY WEREN’T ANSWERING
AND THAT A LACK OF EVIDENCE
IS CAUSING THEM TO LOSE
CREDIBILITY.
THE COURT.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HALT
TRUMP CONTEMPT NOW AND UPPING
THE CLAIMS THAT HE VIOLATED
THE GAG ORDER 11 TIMES NOW.
>> OUR SENIOR FORD
KATHERINE FAULDERS IS THERE.
ALSO, EXECUTIVE EDITOR
PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING THINGS ALONG WITH OUR
LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR,
BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
SO, JOHN DAVID, LONGTIME FRIEND
OF TRUMP, THEY HAVEN’T TALKED
IN A WHILE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
HE’S TALKING ABOUT THIS PUBLIC
GLEE.
HE’S ONE OF THE CHARACTERS
WITHIN THIS WHOLE SCENARIO
THAT HASN’T BEEN OUT THERE
WRITING A BOOK OR TALKING
PUBLICLY.
SO THE FACT THAT HE IS ON
STAND AND GIVING TESTIMONY
IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.
IT’S REMARKABLE, KYRA, TO THINK
THAT THIS IS THE ONLY PERSON
INVOLVED IN THE CATCH AND KILL
SCHEME THAT DONALD TRUMP AND
MICHAEL COHEN AND DAVID PECKER
WERE PART OF.
AND HE’S THE ONLY ONE WE
HAVE NOT HEARD FROM.
AND TODAY THAT CHANGES,
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN
THEY FIRST ENTERED
THE COURTROOM YESTERDAY AFTER
THEIR FIRST GLANCE AT EACH
OTHER, THEN EVEN TODAY,
DAVID PECKER AND DONALD
TRUMP ARE ACTUALLY, ACCORDING
TO OUR COURT TEAM HERE, SMILING
EACH OTHER AT ONE POINT,
YOU KNOW, NODDING IN EACH
OTHER’S WAY.
THESE ARE TWO LONG TIME FRIENDS
.
AND OF COURSE, WHAT DAVID
PECKER IS SAYING ON THE STAND
RIGHT NOW IS SOMETHING DONALD
TRUMP NEVER WANTED ANYBODY
TO KNOW.
IT’S DAVID PECKER SAYING
THAT HE IS THE EYES AND EARS
FOR DONALD TRUMP AND MICHAEL
COHEN AND THE TRUMP 2016
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
BUT ANY TIME A DAMAGING STORY
CAME TO HIS ATTENTION VIA OTHER
SOURCES OR FROM TRUMP OR
MICHAEL COHEN, HE WAS
IN AGREEMENT THAT HE WOULD
CATCH STORIES, KILL THEM, PAY
THE PERSONAL AND MAKE IT
GO AWAY.
WHAT’S ALSO REMARKABLE, KYRA,
IS HOW MUCH TESTIMONY,
DAVID PECKER IS GIVING
ABOUT OTHER ELEMENTS OF DONALD
TRUMP’S POLITICAL CAREER
AND SOME OF THE OPPONENTS
HE FACED IN 2016.
>> SO CATHERINE, DO WE KNOW
WHO ELSE IS EXPECTED TO TESTIFY
IN THE COMING DAYS?
WELL, WE KNOW WE’LL HAVE PECKER
ON THE STAND, PROBABLY FOR
A COUPLE MORE HERE.
AND AS WE’VE REPORTED, WE
EXPECT EITHER LONGTIME AIDES
IN THE WHITE HOUSE, FOR
EXAMPLE, WHEN TRUMP WAS
PRESIDENT, LONG TIME ADVISE
AND EMPLOYEES OF THE
TRUMP ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING
HIS LONG, LONG TIME SECRETARY,
AS WE REPORTED.
HOPE HICKS IS A NAME WE’VE
HEARD A LOT ABOUT.
SHE WAS TRUMP’S TOP ADVISER
IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR FOR
A TIME.
SHE’S TO BE CALLED.
BUT I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT ALSO
TO POINT OUT AND THIS KIND
OF TO THE GAG ORDER ISSUE
EARLIER TODAY AND TRUMP’S
LAWYERS HAVE MADE AN ISSUE
ABOUT THIS IN COURT.
THEY’RE NOT LIKELY TRUMP’S
LAWYERS AREN’T LIKELY TO KNOW
WHO THE NEXT WITNESSES THAT THE
PROSECUTORS CALL WILL BE.
AND THAT’S BECAUSE THE JUDGE
AND PROSECUTORS SAID THAT
THEY DON’T WANT TRUMP TALKING
ABOUT THE WITNESSES, THAT HE
ATTACKS THEM.
SO THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WE
REPORTED THAT THEY WILL LIKELY
CALL, BUT WE JUST DON’T KNOW
THE ORDER.
ALL RIGHT.
SO, BRIAN PECKER HAS WHAT’S
CALLED A NON-PROSECUTION
AGREEMENT.
SO EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS.
AND DOES THAT HURT OR HELP
THE DEFENSE IN THIS CASE.
>> SO A NON-PROSECUTION
AGREEMENT IS WHEN
THE PROSECUTOR AND A WITNESS
WHO COULD POTENTIALLY ALSO BE A
CODEFENDANT LIKE PECKER IN THIS
CASE, THE PROSECUTION SAYS,
YOU KNOW WHAT, WE’RE NOT GOING
TO PROSECUTE YOU SO LONG AS YOU
TESTIFY TRUTHFULLY IN THE
PROSECUTION OF SOMEONE.
>> AND SO IN TERMS OF THE
SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION,
IT CAN HELP HURT THE DEFENSE.
IT HURTS IN THE SENSE THAT YOU
HAVE WHO’S ANY INSIDE SOMEONE
WHO HAS THE POTENTIAL OF DONE
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WITH YOUR
CLIENT, THE DEFENDANT, AND IS
NOW BASICALLY BLOWING
THE WHISTLE OR KIND
OF SNITCHING, AS SOME
PEOPLE WOULD CALL IT,
ABOUT YOUR CLIENT.
THEY HAVE THE INSIDE SCOOP
AS TO WHAT YOUR CLIENT’S INTENT
WAS, WHAT THE THE ORGANIZATION
OR THE SCHEME, OR IN THIS CASE,
THE CONSPIRACY, AND THEN JUST
KIND OF LAYING IT ALL OUT THERE
FOR THE JURY.
IT CAN HELP IN THE SENSE
THAT THIS PERSON IS BASICALLY
TELLING TRUTH TO GET HIMSELF
OUT OF THEIR OWN TROUBLE.
AND SO THE PROSECUTION SO
THE DEFENSE CAN CROSS-EXAMINE
THEM ON THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
SO WE ALSO HEARD FROM
PROSECUTORS JOHN THAT
THEY’RE NOT YET SEEKING JAIL
TIME OVER THIS ALLEGED GAG
ORDER VIOLATION.
IT’S KIND OF HARD TO SEE
TRUMP REALLY ANGLING TO GO
TO PRISON.
>> BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, THOUGH,
KYRA?
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.
AND JUST LOOK AT YOUR INBOX
DONALD TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN HAS
BEEN PUTTING OUT EMAILS SAYING
THAT, YOU KNOW, HE HE THINKS
THEY’RE TRYING TO SEND HIM
TO PRISON.
HE KNOWS THEY’RE TRYING TO SEND
TO PRISON.
TRUMP IS IT A GREAT JOB, IF
YOU WILL, IF YOU’LL INDULGE ME,
OF HYPING UP THE DRAMA OF ALL
OF THIS, RIGHT, MAKING IT THAT,
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE THIS
IS THE ONE THAT’S GOING TO SET
ME AWAY.
AND OBVIOUSLY, TRYING TO WHAT
CAN BE VERY HARD FOR HIM
ON THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SIDE,
THE SPECTRUM TO BENEFIT HIM
ON THE POLITICAL SIDE OF THE
SPECTRUM, BECAUSE AS WE’VE SEEN
REPEATEDLY, DONALD TRUMP HAS
STOOD TO BENEFIT POLITICALLY,
LEAST FROM THESE INDICTMENTS,
FROM THESE CRIMINAL CASES.
HOWEVER, NOW THAT HE’S IN THE
COURTROOM, NOW THAT HE
LITERALLY CAN’T STAND UP OR SIT
WITHOUT BEING TOLD TO.
IT’S A BIG DIFFERENT WORLD FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
AND I DO THINK ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT HIS TEAM I KNOW
KATHERINE FAULDERS IS HEARING
THIS IN ADDITION TO ME
IS CALCULATING, IS IF THIS CASE
EVENTUALLY ENDS UP IN A
CONVICTION, COULD BE A VERY
DIFFERENT WORLD FOR DONALD
TRUMP, BOTH CRIMINALLY
AND POLITICALLY KYRA.
ALL RIGHT, CATHERINE, JOHN,
BRIAN, THANKS.
>> AND AS TENSIONS ESCALATE
OVER THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR.
>> PROTESTS CONTINUE ERUPTING
ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
DOZENS OF ARRESTS HAVE ALREADY
BEEN MADE AT SOME OF THE
NATION’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS, LIKE
COLUMBIA, CALTECH, NYU AT MIT,
EVEN YALE.
THEY’RE ALL SITTING TOGETHER
IN A CIRCLE.
AND THEN THE NYPD CAME IN AND
ARRESTED US ON MAY ONE.
AND WE THINK THE TIDE US WITH
OUR HANDS BEHIND OUR BACKS.
>> SO POLICE IN RIOT GEAR
HAVE BEEN BREAKING UP
THE CROWDS AND ARRESTING
OF PROTESTERS OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS.
BUT DESPITE THOSE POLICE
EFFORTS, THE PROTESTS DO
CONTINUE TO GROW
WITH ENCAMPMENTS AT THE CENTER
AND OF CAMPUSES.
ALSO, SOME STUDENTS
ARE BARRICADING THEMSELVES
INSIDE THE SCHOOLS.
COLUMBIA IS NOW ANNOUNCING
THAT IT’S MOVING TO HYBRID
LEARNING FOR REST OF
THE SEMESTER AFTER
SOME PROTESTERS ENGAGED IN A
STANDOFF WITH AUTHORITIES
FOLLOWING AN ORDER TO VACATE OR
STEPHANIE RAMOS IS STILL THERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL IN
NEW YORK CITY.
STEPHANIE CLEARLY WE SEE
MORE POLICE, BUT WHAT OTHER
STEPS ARE THE SCHOOLS TAKING
TO TRY AND DE-ESCALATE
THE SITUATION AND PUT AN END
TO THESE PROTESTS?
WELL, WE’VE CERTAINLY HEARD
FROM THE ADMINISTRATION HERE
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
THEY SAID THAT THEY WANTED
TO DOUBLE UP ON THEIR CAMPUS
SAFETY OFFICERS ACROSS CAMPUS,
BUT HESITANT TO CALL IN THE
NYPD, EVEN THOUGH WE’VE SEEN
THE NYPD OFFICERS HERE
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND HERE
ON BROADWAY AND ALSO
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
CAMPUS, BASICALLY IT’S TIGHT
SECURITY AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY.
BUT THEY HAVE STEPPED UP
THEIR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS
AND WE’RE SEEING WE WERE HERE
YESTERDAY, KYRA, BY THE WAY, WE
JUST WANT TO MENTION AND YEAH,
WE SAW A LOT OF NYPD OFFICERS
ON ON THE CORNERS ON THAT,
YOU KNOW, SURROUNDING
THE CAMPUS.
AND THEY SEEMINGLY HAD
THEIR RIOT GEAR ON, HELMETS,
BATONS.
BUT AT NO POINT DID WE SEE THEM
ENGAGE WITH ANY OF THE
PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS
OR THOSE THAT WERE PRO-ISRAEL
JUST RIGHT NEXT TO THOSE
PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS.
HOWEVER THAT’S OBVIOUSLY NOT
THE CASE AT OTHER CAMPUSES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
EVEN HERE IN NEW YORK CITY
AT NYU, IT WAS A MUCH DIFFERENT
STORY THERE.
WE KNOW THAT SECURITY IS VERY
TIGHT THERE AT NYU, WHICH
IS SOUTH OF US.
BUT THAT IS THE SITUATION
RIGHT NOW.
WE DON’T SEE ANY DEMONSTRATORS
HERE RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY
MOMENT.
BUT THAT’S THAT’S WHAT WE SAW
YESTERDAY, WHERE IT WAS KIND
OF ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT
THE DAY.
SO COLUMBIA’S PROTESTS REALLY
HAVE GOTTEN MOST OF THE
ATTENTION UP TO RIGHT NOW.
SO WHAT ARE STUDENTS
ACTUALLY LOOKING TO ACHIEVE
AT THESE OTHER CAMPUSES AND DO
YOU KNOW IF THAT ALL THESE
STUDENTS HAVE SORT OF BEEN
ONLINE AND COORDINATING THESE
PROTESTS?
THEY HAVE.
IT SEEMS AS THOUGH MANY OF THE
STUDENTS AT THESE OTHER
CAMPUSES, FROM WHAT WE’VE HEARD
FROM THE VIDEOS THAT THEY’VE
SHARED ONLINE, IS THAT THEY ARE
SETTING UP CAMPS,
THEY’RE SETTING UP THEIR TENTS
AND ARE MARCHING.
THEY’RE DEMONSTRATING
IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE STUDENTS
HERE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, MANY
OF THEM CHANTING AND YELLING
HERE OUTSIDE OF THE GATES
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
YESTERDAY, THAT THEY WANT
THE UNIVERSITY TO DIVEST FROM
COMPANIES THAT ARE BENEFITING
FROM ISRAEL MANY OF THOSE
DEMONSTRATORS TELLING US THAT
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO STOP
THEY’RE GOING TO KEEP PUSHING
FOR THIS AS AS THEY’VE BEFORE
IN YEARS, NOT THEM SPECIFICALLY
IN YEARS PRIOR, BUT WHAT
THEY’VE SEEN HISTORICALLY.
SO MANY OF THOSE DEMONSTRATORS
SPREADING THE WORD, NOT JUST
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY,
BUT OBVIOUSLY ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
AND, STEPHANIE, WHAT ARE
YOU HEARING FIRSTHAND FROM
STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS
PARTICIPATING IN THESE
PROTESTS?
I KNOW YOU’VE HAD A CHANCE
TO TALK TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT
PEOPLE.
SO ONE JEWISH STUDENT
IN PARTICULAR THAT WE SPOKE
YESTERDAY SAID THAT SHE
UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE
ARE DEMONSTRATE THAT WANT
TO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD.
THEY HAVE A MESSAGE.
THEY WANT THE UNIVERSITY
TO FULFILL THEIR TO TO FULFILL
THAT CERTAIN GOAL.
BUT THERE ARE ALSO
DEMONSTRATORS, SHE SAYS SHE
TELLS US THAT, ARE INTIMIDATING
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY HERE
AND BEING IN HARASSING.
AND THIS IS WHY THE COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HAVE AN
OPTION.
NOW, WHETHER TO ATTEND
THEIR CLASSES ONLINE OR
IN PERSON.
WE’RE ALSO FROM DEMONSTRATORS
THAT SAY THEY WANT
THEIR MESSAGE HEARD.
ONE PROFESSOR TELLING ME
THAT THIS IS A VERY DELICATE
SITUATION COURSE, BUT THERE
ARE MANY FACTORS THAT GO INTO
THIS.
AND WE HAVE SOME SOUND FROM
HIM.
>> TAKE A LISTEN.
I DON’T KNOW.
WE KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME
IS GOING TO BE, BUT I KNOW
THAT STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE
DEMAND THAT THEIR
ADMINISTRATION DO WHAT THEY
ARE PAYING LARGE AMOUNTS
OF MONEY.
I THINK THAT’S THE PROBLEM.
OF ISRAEL.
SO WHAT I KNOW IS THAT
IT’S ONLY AND PEOPLE
PEOPLE THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS
WE SPOKE WITH YESTERDAY
THAT WERE SET UP ON CAMPUS.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON THERE
AND SEE IF THEY ARE STILL
THERE.
BUT AGAIN, THERE ARE MANY
DEMONSTRATORS, WHETHER
IT’S STUDENTS, PEOPLE WHO
ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE
UNIVERSITY AND PROFESSORS FROM
OTHER COLLEGES THAT SAY
THEY WILL NOT STOP.
FACULTY ALL RIGHT, STEPHANIE,
THANKS SO MUCH.
NOW TO BREAKING NEWS RIGHT HERE
IN WASHINGTON WHERE A MAJOR
VOTE IS TAKING PLACE IN THE
SENATE LAWMAKERS ARE HOLDING
TWO PROCEDURAL VOTES ON FOUR
FOREIGN AID BILLS.
THAT INCLUDES FUNDING FOR
UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TAIWAN
AND ALSO TIED INTO THE PACKAGE,
THE U.S. BAN ON TIK TOK,
MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER
TELLING HIS FELLOW SENATORS
IT’S TIME TO GET THE JOB DONE.
LET US NOT DELAY THIS.
LET US NOT PROLONG THIS.
LET US NOT KEEP OUR FRIENDS
AROUND THE WORLD WAITING FOR
A MOMENT LONGER.
I WILL NOT MINCE WORDS WHEN
MEMBERS, MY OWN PARTY, KILL THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP LARGELY TODAY,
THE SENATE.
AND WE MUST NOT DEREGULATE.
JOINING ME NOW, SENIOR WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT
SELINA WANG, WHO’S THERE
ON CAPITOL HILL.
SELINA, HOW IS THIS EXPECTED
TO PLAY OUT IN THE SENATE?
>> YEAH, KARA.
WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY EXPECTED
TO SPEED THROUGH THE SENATE.
THIS HAS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
REMEMBER IT WAS JUST A COUPLE
OF MONTHS AGO WHEN THE SENATE
HAD PASSED THEIR OWN VERSION
OF THIS BILL, WHICH WAS VERY
SIMILAR, $95 BILLION IN FOREIGN
AID, EXCEPT FOR WITHOUT
THAT TICK TOCK PART.
NOW, THE QUESTION IS, HOW LONG
IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?
IT COULD PASS AS EARLY
AS TONIGHT, AS LATE AS TOMORROW
NIGHT.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOW LONG.
THE SENATORS DEBATE THIS
MATTER.
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE
AGAINST THIS.
YOU HAVE HARD LINE REPUBLICANS
WHO DON’T WANT TO SEND ANY
MORE AID TO UKRAINE.
I WAS JUST SPEAKING TO A
REPUBLICAN SENATOR SCHMIDT,
WHO SAYS HE WANTS TO SEE
ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN.
IT COMES TO THE BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IN AID THAT’S GOING
TO FUND HELP UKRAINE
AND SUPPORT THEM.
>> AND THEN THERE ARE ALSO
PROGRESSIVES, SENATOR BERNIE
SANDERS, WHO DON’T WANT TO SEND
UNCONDITIONAL AID TO ISRAEL.
BUT DESPITE SOME OF
THAT PUSHBACK, THIS IS EXPECTED
TO PASS WITH THAT BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT KYRA.
>> AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SPEAKING
TO ZELENSKYY ALL ABOUT UKRAINE
JUST YESTERDAY.
>> WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT
TOOK PLACE ON THAT CALL?
>> I’VE HEARD THEY SPOKE
BY PHONE.
THE PRESIDENT VOWED TO SIGN
THIS FOREIGN BILL INTO LAW
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
AND REAFFIRMED AMERICA’S
SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE.
THIS IS A BIG WIN FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO HAS BEEN
PUSHING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS
AND NOW IT’S ON THE CUSP
OF BEING AT THE FINISH LINE.
AND THIS COULD REALLY CHANGE
THE TIDE POTENTIALLY FOR
UKRAINE.
THEY’VE BEEN RUNNING OUT
OF AMMUNITION.
THIS IS GOING TO RESUPPLY
THEIR DEFENSES AND COULD HELP
SLOW RUSSIAN ADVANCES.
ALL RIGHT, SELINA WANG
THEY’RE UP ON CAPITOL HILL FOR
US TODAY.
>> SELINA, THANK YOU.
SO PRESIDENT BIDEN IS TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF TIMING AND HEADS
THE TAMPA, TAMPA, RATHER, JUST
ONE WEEK AHEAD OF THE STATE’S
SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN.
THAT’S TAKING EFFECT.
HE PLANS ON GIVING REMARKS
ON ABORTION RIGHTS AS STATE
DEMOCRATS ALSO TRY TO USE
THE POPULARITY OF ABORTION
ACCESS TO GAIN VOTES COME
NOVEMBER.
THAT’LL BE ON THE SAME BALLOT
AS PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
BUT OUR ELIZABETH SCHULZE IS AT
THE WHITE HOUSE COVERING
THAT FOR US.
YOU KNOW, THE LAST TIME THERE
WAS AN ABORTION BALLOT
IN FLORIDA, PRESIDENT OBAMA WON
STATE.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS YEAR’S
ABORTION BALLOT WILL IMPACT
BIDEN?
>> WELL, LOOK HERE.
NO DOUBT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN
HOPES THAT CAN SEE THIS AS A
WAY TO VICTORY IN FLORIDA.
WE’VE SEEN THE CAMPAIGN SAY
EVERY TIME THAT ABORTION HAS
BEEN ON THE BALLOT SINCE
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE
AND EVERY STATE WHERE ABORTION
HAS BEEN PUT TO THE VOTERS,
THE ABORTION RIGHTS POSITION
HAS WON, AND THAT INCLUDES
IN CONSERVATIVE STATES, WHEN
YOU LOOK AT STATES LIKE KANSAS,
KENTUCKY AND OHIO.
SO THE CAMPAIGN SEES THIS AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MOBILIZE TURNOUT
.
IT SEES IT AS A WAY TO GET
VOTERS OUT IN AN ISSUE
THAT THEY SAY IS IMPORTANT
THEM.
WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR VICE
PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS REALLY
HAS BEEN THE MESSENGER ON THIS
ISSUE OF ABORTION.
SHE’S BEEN FRONT AND CENTER.
BUT TODAY, BIDEN TAKING IT HEAD
ON AND NOTABLY IN THE STATE
OF FLORIDA, WHERE WE’RE GOING
TO SEE THAT SIX WEEK BAN
GO INTO EFFECT IN ABOUT A WEEK.
AND WE’RE FORMER PRESIDENT IS
A VOTER, KYRA.
SO THEN YOU FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO’S
A FLORIDA VOTER.
WHAT’S HIS STRATEGY HERE?
RIGHT.
WELL, SO AND THE QUESTION IS,
WHERE’S GOING TO COME DOWN?
BECAUSE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
SAID RECENTLY THIS IS UP TO THE
STATES.
WE KNOW THAT HIS POSITION
ON ABORTION HAS CONTINUED
TO CHANGE IN THE SAME BREATH
THAT HE SAYS IT’S UP TO THE
STATES.
HE TAKES CREDIT FOR POINTING
FOR NOMINATING THREE OF
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICES
WHO EVENTUALLY OVERTURNED
ROE V. WADE.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IN AN
INTERVIEW LAST YEAR, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT THAT THIS
SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN, THIS
STRICT BAN THAT IS SET TO GO
INTO IN FLORIDA IS TERRIBLE,
THAT IT GOES TOO FAR.
HE HASN’T REALLY WEIGHED IN ON
HOW HE HIMSELF WOULD VOTE ON
A BALLOT INITIATIVE.
AND IT REALLY GETS TO THAT CORE
ISSUE FOR THE FORMER
PRESIDENT AS HE UNDERSTOOD
THAT THE PUBLIC THAT A LOT
OF VOTERS THINK THAT THESE
STRICT DO GO TOO FAR.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO ALIENATE
THOSE VOTERS, BUT HE ALSO,
TO TAKE CREDIT, CONTINUE
TO GALVANIZE HIS BASE, WHO HE
HE KNOWS THAT THEY APPRECIATE
THAT HE CONTINUES TO TAKE
CREDIT FOR APPOINTING THOSE
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES KYRA.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE’LL TRACK TRIP
ELIZABETH SCHULZE AT THE WHITE
HOUSE FOR US.
>> THANK YOU.
COMING UP A MANHUNT UNDERWAY

COP ACCUSED OF KILLING
HIS EX-WIFE, HIS GIRLFRIEND,

THE MOOSE STARTED CHASING
A DOG.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
AMERICA THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S
NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS
ON ABC NEWS.
>> WHAT?
>> GLAD YOU’RE STREAMING
WITH US.
POLICE IN WASHINGTON STATE SAY
THAT A MANHUNT IS FOR AN EX-COP
ACCUSED OF KILLING BOTH
HIS EX-WIFE AND GIRLFRIEND.
AN AMBER ALERT HAS ALSO BEEN
ISSUED AFTER POLICE SAY
THAT SUSPECT ELIAS HUSAR
ABDUCTED HIS ONE YEAR OLD
SON IN THE TOWN OF WEST.
THE FORMER YAKIMA POLICE
OFFICER IS SAID TO BE ARMED
AND DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY
FLEEING TOWARD THE MEXICAN
BORDER.
OUR ALEX STONE IS FOLLOWING
THE STORY, JOINS US NOW.
>> SO, ALEX, WHAT MORE DO WE
KNOW JUST HOW THIS
ALL UNFOLDED?
WELL, WE ARE TALKING POLICE
AND LEARNING A LITTLE BIT
MORE RIGHT NOW, KYRA, THAT IT
IS BELIEVED THAT HE WAS DUE
IN COURT YESTERDAY MORNING,
ACCUSED OF RAPING 16-YEAR-OLD
GIRL, HAVING A RELATIONSHIP
WITH A TEENAGE GIRL.
HE WAS A SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER IN YAKIMA AND ALLEGEDLY
ASSAULTING ANOTHER TEENAGE
GIRL DUE IN COURT YESTERDAY
MORNING, BUT INSTEAD OUT
ON BAIL, ALLEGEDLY GOING TO AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHILE
THE ELEMENTARY IN WEST RICHLAND
AND ALLEGEDLY AT THAT POINT
KILLING HIS EX-WIFE, THEN GOING
TO A HOME AND KILLING HIS WHO
IT’S BEEN REPORTED BE HIS
UNDERAGE GIRLFRIEND, TAKING
HIS SON AND THEN TAKING OFF
FROM THERE.
>> AND NOW HE HAS BEEN
ON THE RUN.
THERE IS A NATIONWIDE
AMBER ALERT THAT IS IN PLACE
RIGHT NOW.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT HE MAY
HAVE BEEN SPOTTED IN PORTLAND,
OREGON THIS MORNING KYRA.
>> OKAY.
SO LET’S TALK ABOUT ADDITIONAL
LEADS THAT ARE GIVING POLICE
THE IDEA THAT HE COULD
BE HEADING TOWARD MEXICO.
WELL, THERE WAS THAT THOUGHT
THAT HE WAS IN WHAT YOU SEE
RIGHT HERE, THIS SILVER
COROLLA.
BUT OVERNIGHT, WE UNDERSTAND
NOW POLICE ARE CONFIRMING
THAT HE WAS SPOTTED
ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AT A
CONVENIENCE STORE IN THE
PORTLAND AREA DRIVING A DARK
SEDAN.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE AT SOME POINT
HE SWITCHED VEHICLES AND WENT
INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, STILL
BELIEVED TO HAVE HIS ONE
YEAR OLD SON WITH HIM STILL
ON THE RUN.
>> BUT IT APPEARS
HE’S GENERALLY THE SAME AREA,
NOT HEADING TO MEXICO,
BUT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR HIM
RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
GOT IT.
WE’LL TRACK IT.
ALEX, THANKS.
AND A CRISIS AVERTED.
THE FAA IS INVESTIGATING YET
ANOTHER CLOSE CALL AT A MAJOR
AIRPORT, THIS TIME AT JFK
IN NEW YORK.
OFFICIALS THE FOUR PLANES GOT
CLEARANCE TO CROSS AN ACTIVE
RUNWAY AT THE SAME.
A FIFTH WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF.
OUR IKE EJIOCHI HAS THE STORY.
>> ANOTHER NEAR DISASTER
AVERTED AT ONE OF THE NATION’S
BUSIEST AIRPORTS.
FAA INVESTIGATORS LOOKING INTO
AN APRIL 17TH INCIDENT
INVOLVING SWISS AIR FLIGHT
HEADED TO ZURICH.
THE PLANE CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF
AT JFK.
>> 2170184 LEFT.
STAFF SAY THE PILOT BEGINNING
TO SPEED DOWN THE RUNWAY,
HITTING 40 MILES PER HOUR.
THE PILOT THEN FORCED TO ABORT
AFTER SPOTTING FOUR JETS
PREPARING TO CROSS THE SAME
RUNWAY, PUTTING THEM ON A
COLLISION COURSE.
>> SOME PEOPLE HAVE REQUESTED
TO TAKE OFF ON THE RUNWAY,
ONLY EACH AIRCRAFT ACROSS AN
ACTIVE RUNWAY.
AND ONE CONTROLLER NOT TALKING
TO ANOTHER INDICATES A SPECIAL
LEVEL OF STRESS.
NEAR-MISS CAME JUST A DAY
BEFORE ANOTHER NEAR
CATASTROPHIC CLOSE
AT WASHINGTON’S REAGAN
NATIONAL AIRPORT, WHERE SEVERAL
EVERY JETBLUE FLIGHT CLEARED
FOR TAKEOFF, FORCED TO SLAM
ON ITS BRAKES AFTER AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROL.
NOTICE THEY CLEARED A SOUTHWEST
PLANE TO TAXI ACROSS THE SAME
RUNWAY.
THAT WAS ONE OF MY BUT IN FACT,
WE STOPPED WE WERE CLEARED
TO CROSS RUNWAY FOR THE TWO
PACK PLANES COMING WITHIN 400
FEET OF EACH OTHER.
THE FAA ACKNOWLEDGING
IT’S STAFFING SHORTAGES, VOWING
TO DO MORE TO REDUCE AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROLLER FATIGUE.
>> THE FAA SAYS
THEY’RE BEGINNING TO ROLL OUT
NEW AIRFIELDS, SURVEILLANCE
SYSTEMS THAT MINIMIZE THE RISK
OF CLOSE CALLS.

>> YOU’RE STREAMING ABC LIVE.
BREAKING NEWS.
FIRST ON ABC NEWS LIVE, A FIERY
START TO DONALD TRUMP’S
CRIMINAL TRIAL.
THE JUDGE LASHING OUT AT THE
FORMER PRESIDENT’S LAWYER
SAYING.
HE’S LOSING CREDIBILITY
PROSECUTIONS.
FIRST WITNESS ALSO TAKING
THE STAND.
WE’RE LIVE OUTSIDE
THE COURTHOUSE WHERE JUST
WRAPPED UP.
ESCALATING TENSIONS ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES NEARING A BOILING
POINT AS PROTESTS OVER
THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR SPREAD
TO MORE SCHOOLS.
THE HEIGHTENED ANXIETY AT SOME
OF THE NATION’S LEADING.
AND THE TERRIFYING MOMENTS OF A
KIDNAPPING CAUGHT ON A DOORBELL
CAMERA.
THE WOMAN HEARD SCREAMING FOR
HELP AS SHE WAS CARRIED AWAY.
HOW POLICE MANAGED TO TRACK
DOWN THE SUSPECT.
AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.
I’M KYRA PHILLIPS.
OUR TOP STORY, IT’S BEEN
A FIERY START TO TODAY’S
HISTORIC CRIMINAL TRIAL.
>> A FORMER PRESIDENT CAUGHT
JUST WRAPPED WITH DONALD
TRUMP FACING THOSE FELONY
CHARGES OF MAKING HUSH MONEY
PAYMENTS TO STAR STORMY
DANIELS, AS WELL AS ALLEGATIONS
THAT HE VIOLATED A GAG ORDER.
THE JURY HEARING TESTIMONY FROM
FORMER "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
PUBLISHER DAVID PECKER,
WHO PROSECUTORS SAY WAS
THE EYES AND EARS IN THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
AND TAKING PART IN A SCHEME
TO BUY BARRY.
ALL THOSE UNFLATTERING STORIES
THAT HIS GOOD FRIEND DONALD
TRUMP.
PEKAR’S TESTIMONY FOLLOWS
THE COMBATIVE HEARING ABOUT THE
GAG ORDER, WHICH JUDGE WARREN
MERSHON REPEATEDLY TRUMP’S
ATTORNEYS SAYING THEY WEREN’T
ANSWERING QUESTIONS, AND THAT
A LACK OF EVIDENCE IS CAUSING
THEM TO LOSE CREDIBILITY
WITH THE COURT.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT, NOW UPPING,
THE CLAIMS THAT HE VIOLATED
THE GAG ORDER 11 TIMES.
>> LET’S BRING IN OUR EXECUTIVE
OR EDITORIAL PRODUCER,
JOHN SANTUCCI, ALSO OUR LEGAL
CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
ALL RIGHT.
SO JOHN BECKER TESTIFIED THIS
MEETING WITH TRUMP AND MICHAEL
COHEN BACK IN 2015, TELLING
THEM THAT HE WOULD MAKE
ARRANGEMENTS TO KILL ANY
UNFLATTERING NEWS STORIES
ABOUT INCLUDING THAT FALSE
STORY FROM A TRUMP TOWER
DOORMAN SAID TRUMP FATHERED AN
ILLEGITIMATE CHILD WITH A MAID.
REMEMBER WHEN STORY ALL CAME
OUT?
LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT
THIS IS TO THE CASE, IF AT ALL.
WELL, IT’S IMPORTANT BECAUSE
WHAT IT’S DOING RIGHT, KYRA,
IS PROSECUTORS ARE TRYING
TO BUILD OUT THIS CASE TO SAY,
LISTEN, WE’VE INDICTED DONALD
TRUMP FOR THIS TENSE SITUATION
.
AND REGARDING STORMY DANIELS
AND MICHAEL COHEN, HOWEVER,
WHAT THEY’RE BUILDING OUT
RIGHT NOW, THIS IS NOT A ONE
TIME THING THAT DONALD TRUMP,
MICHAEL AND DAVID PECKER, DID
THIS AT LEAST THREE TIMES
DURING THE 2016
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, ONCE
WITH THE DOORMAN AND TWO TIMES
WITH WOMEN WHO SAID THEY HAD
EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS
WITH DONALD TRUMP.
THAT BEING KAREN MCDOUGAL,
A FORMER PLAYBOY PLAYMATE,
AND STORMY DANIELS, THE ADULT
FILM STAR.
DANIELS ONLY ONE A PART OF THAT
BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PAYMENT
TO DANIELS DOCUMENTED IN THE
TRUMP LOG AND THE TRUMP PAYMENT
METHODS THAT IT WAS FOR LEGAL
SERVICES TO REIMBURSE MICHAEL
COHEN FOR THOSE PAYMENTS MADE
TO DANIELS.
NOW, OBVIOUSLY, A PART OF TODAY
THAT HAS JUST BEEN STRIKING.
I MEAN, TAKE ALL OF THAT ASIDE
FOR.
A SECOND IS JUST TO HEAR
DAVID PECKER ON THE STAND HERE,
AS YOU WELL KNOW, WE HAVE NOT
HEARD FROM DAVID PECKER UNTIL
THE LAST TWO DAYS FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN NEARLY TEN YEARS.
AND OF COURSE, IT’S REVEALING
BECAUSE THEY TALK ABOUT THIS
SCHEME THAT WAS DEVELOPED
AND HE HIMSELF SAID, AS HAS
BEEN TESTIFIED BY OTHERS AND IS
THE REASON DONALD TRUMP WAS
INDICTED HERE, IS THAT
HE SERVED PECKER AS THE EYES
AND EARS FOR DONALD TRUMP AND
MICHAEL COHEN.
ANY TIME A NEGATIVE STORY CAME
TO HIS ATTENTION, EITHER
DIRECTLY OR THROUGH SOURCES
THAT COULD HURT DONALD TRUMP,
HE COULD CATCH IT, HE’D
KILL IT.
HE’D MAKE GO AWAY.
WHEN PROSECUTORS ARE SHOWING
BY INTRODUCING THE EVIDENCE
OF THIS STORY INVOLVING
A FORMER DOORMAN AT THE
TRUMP ORGANIZATION ALONG
WITH THESE OTHER WOMEN,
THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING
THAT HAPPENED QUITE ROUTINELY.
>> AND BRIAN, I HAD A CHANCE
TO TALK TO MICHAEL COHEN TODAY
ASKING ABOUT WHAT HE THOUGHT
ABOUT WHAT DAVID OR WHAT DAVID
PECKER WAS SAYING ON THE STAND.
AND HE SAID AFTER THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION HAD ME REMANDED
TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOR
A TOTAL OF 51 DAYS.
ALL RIGHT.
TRUMP IS COMING OUT TO CAMERAS
,SO THIS COULD FOLD
IN PERFECTLY.
LET’S LISTEN TO WHAT TRUMP HAS
TO SAY.
I’LL COME BACK TO YOU,
BRIAN CAN’T EVEN ALLOW
THE ARTICLES TO BE PUT IN AS AN
EXAMPLE.
THESE ARE ARTICLES THAT WERE
OVER THE LAST DAY AND A HALF,
A VERY GOOD OPPORTUNITY.
THE CASE IS A SHAM.
AND SHOULD THEY BE TRIED, IT
SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.
AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF
YOU HAVE TO PUT THEM IN.
WE HAVE A GAG ORDER, WHICH
TO ME IS TOTALLY
AND CONSTITUTIONAL I’M NOT
ALLOWED TO TALK WITH PEOPLE
AROUND ME SO THEY CAN TALK
ABOUT ME, THEY CAN SAY
WHATEVER THEY WANT, THEY CAN
LIE, BUT I’M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY
IT AGAIN.
YOU GOT TO SIT BACK AND LOOK
AT MY IT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO ME TO HAVE
A MEETING WITH ANYTHING LIKE
THIS I’M GOING TO TALK
TO PEOPLE, I HAVE TO SAY.
AND SO MY MIND, BUT AT LEAST
BECAUSE WE HAVE A GAG ORDER
AND I’M NOT SURE THE NUMBER
IS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS BEFORE AND EVEN HAVING
TO DO WITH ARTICLE
SEVEN RIGHTS.
AND I THINK IF I READ EVERY
ONE OF THESE ARTICLES
IN COMPLETE, I READ SOME OF
THEM AND I LOOK AT HEADLINES
ALL THE WAY THAT THE CASE IS A
SHAM, BUT I CAN’T READ
THE WHOLE THING I’VE BEEN
READING.
THIS IS LIKE READING A NOVEL,
SO I’VE NEVER MET SOMEBODY
WHOSE IS MENTIONED.
SO IT IN VIOLATION OF THE GAG
ORDER.
I THINK IT’S A DISGRACE
IT’S TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
I DON’T BELIEVE IT’S NOT
TO THIS EXTENT.
NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
I’M NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND
MYSELF.
AND YET OTHER PEOPLE WILL SAY
THEY WANT ABOUT ME.
THEY’RE HAVING TO DO WITH THE
SCHOOLS AND THE CLASS.
THAT’S BIBLE SCHOOL.
AND BY THE WAY, THIS TRIAL
IS SAYING, YOU KNOW, THIS
IS ALL FINE.
I JUST AGAINST ANYBODY AS ANY
PERSON.
AND THEY’RE KEEPING ME IN A
COURTROOM.
AND IT’S FREEZING, BY THE WAY,
IN A BOOK ALL DAY LONG.
WELL, HE’S OUT CAMPAIGNING.
THAT’S PROBABLY AN ADVANTAGE
BECAUSE HE CAN’T CAMPAIGN
NOBODY NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HE’S
DOING.
YOU CAN’T CONTINUE SENTENCES
AGAIN.
BUT HE’S OUT CAMPAIGNING.
HE’S OUT HERE READING AND I’M
HERE.
I’M SITTING HERE GIVING SITTING
ON THE STREET AS I CAN ALL DOWN
ON WHOLE.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT’S A VERY UNFAIR SITUATION.
SO WE’RE LOCKED IN.
THIS GUY’S OUT THERE
CAMPAIGNING.
YOU GO TO CAMPAIGN EVERY TIME
HE OPENS HIS MOUTH AND GETS
HIMSELF INTO TROUBLE.
SO THAT’S STILL THINK THAT’S
A GAG ORDER.
BUT I SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF
VERY SOON ON.
>> THIS LAWSUIT SHOULD’VE NEVER
HAPPENED.
WHAT’S GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY
NOW SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED.
BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE ISRAELI ATTACK NEVER
HAPPENED.
INFLATION NEVER HAPPENED.
WE HAVE THE WORST PRESIDENT IN
THE HISTORY OF COUNTRY,
AND HE’S THE ONE THAT HAS THIS
IN ALL THESE DIFFERENT BOXES.
THANK YOU VERY.
ALL RIGHT, BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
DONALD TRUMP SURE IS TESTING
HIS TRIAL ORDER, ISN’T HE?
HE’S SAYING THAT IT’S
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THERE’S THIS GAG ORDER THAT’S
BEEN PUT ON HIM.
LET’S GET TWO THINGS STRAIGHT.
CLEARLY, WHEN HE WANTS TO TALK.
HE’S GOING TO TALK.
BUT WE SHOULD ALSO MENTION THIS
GAG ORDER IS NOT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
>> LET’S LAY OUT THE FACTS HERE
FOR HIM.
>> YEAH.
SO I’LL CONTINUE THAT AND.
THAT SPEECH.
I THINK HE DID A MUCH BETTER
JOB.
AND THEN THE PREVIOUS ONES,
I DON’T SEE A VERY
CLEAR VIOLATION THERE, BUT I
WILL GO THROUGH SOME OF IT.
HE SAYS I CAN’T TALK
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT ME.
WELL, THAT’S THE PART
THAT JUDGE MERCHAN WAS SAYING,
YOU’RE LOSING CREDIBILITY
WITH ME.
BECAUSE WHEN HIS DEFENSE
THAT ARGUMENT, THE JUDGES
ASKED, OKAY, SO WHAT IS
HE RESPONDING TO?
ONE OF THE POINTS THAT YOU’RE
SAYING HE HAS TO PUSH BACK ON
THAT ARE NOW CONSIDERED
POLITICAL SPEECH RATHER THAN
A VIOLATION OF A GAG ORDER
AND THE DEFENSE COULDN’T COME
UP WITH A SINGLE EXAMPLE
OF WHERE DONALD TRUMP WAS
PUSHING BACK SOMETHING
ON SOMEONE ELSE AND SAID, SO
THAT’S ONE THING I AS IT STANDS
RIGHT NOW, HE’S NOT
IN VIOLATION OF A GAG ORDER.
THAT THAT ORDER NOT BEEN
BROUGHT BY THE JUDGE TO SAY
WHAT HIS DECISION IS.
>> SO THAT’S THAT’S FALSE
THERE.
BUT THE PROBLEM WITH WHAT
HE JUST IS WELL, WHAT YOU JUST
SAID MAY NOT BE A VIOLATION
OF THE GAG ORDER.
HE MAY HAVE JUST INCRIMINATED
HIMSELF ONCE AGAIN, BECAUSE IF
I’M HIS DEFENSE ATTORNEY,
ONE OF MY CHIEF ARGUMENTS WOULD
BE IS THAT FIVE OF THOSE ARE,
I THINK, EIGHT OF THOSE POSTS
OF THE TEN ARE REPOSTS OF AN.
AND THERE’S AN ARGUMENT TO BE
MADE THAT DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF
DID IT.
MOST AT LEAST SOMEONE ELSE
IS HANDLING SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> BUT HE JUST SAID, I PUT
ARTICLE UP THERE AND IT
MENTIONS SOMEONE’S NAME
AND THAT’S A VIOLATION
ANTHONY JUDGE MERCHAN COULD
BE SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT,
COURT’S DONE FOR THE FOR FOR
THE DAY.
I AM NOW WRITING THIS DECISION
.
THE JUDGE SIMPLY NEEDS TO TURN
ON THE TV AND SAYS, THERE
HE IS.
HE ADMITTED THE VIOLATION.
HE ADMITTED THAT HE KNEW THE
ARTICLE HAD THAT PERSON’S NAME.
HE ADMITTED THAT HE’S ONE THAT
PUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
HE’S ADMITTING TO THE VIOLATION
AND HE’S LITERALLY WRITING
THE JUDGE’S DECISION FOR HIM.
>> ALL RIGHT.
NOW, LET’S GET BACK TO THE KEY
WITNESS THAT WAS ON THE STAND,
STARTED YESTERDAY AND THEN
TODAY, THAT’S DAVID, THE FORMER
HEAD OF THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER",
GOOD FRIEND OF DONALD
BEING ASKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
THE BUY IN BEARING OF ALL THESE
STORIES THAT THAT WOULD HURT
THE FORMER PRESIDENT AS HE WAS
GETTING READY TO TO RUN
THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> SO MICHAEL COHEN WAS
MENTIONED A LOT.
I STARTED TO READ WHAT MICHAEL
HAD TEXTED ME EARLIER, SAYING
THAT AFTER THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION HAD ME REMANDED
TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOR
A TOTAL OF 51 DAYS, I LEARNED
THAT I AM MUCH STRONGER THAN
I IMAGINED STRONG ENOUGH
TO ENSURE THAT TRUTH
WILL PREVAIL OVER DONALD
AND HIS ACOLYTES, INCESSANT
LYING AND DENIGRATION OF ME
IN THE COURT HALLWAYS OR IN HIS
UNTRUTH SOCIAL.
REGARDLESS, NO ONE IS ABOVE
THE LAW.
SO DEPENDING ON WELL,
WHAT PECKER CONTINUES
TO AND WHAT HE SAID TODAY,
BRIAN, I MEAN, DOESN’T
THAT JUST STRENGTHEN
WHAT MICHAEL COHEN HAS HAS
SAID ALL ALONG?
>> CORROBORATION IS A BIG PART
OF THIS CASE, BOTH FOR
THE PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE,
BECAUSE.
>> WELL, THE MORE THAT CAN
BE CORROBORATED AS TO
WHAT MICHAEL COHEN AND PECKER
SAY THROUGH WHETHER IT
BE RECORDINGS THAT THE
PROSECUTION THEY HAVE EITHER
OPENING ARGUMENTS OR JUST
THE DOCUMENTATIONS AND LEDGERS
LITTLE FURTHER AWAY,
THE DEFENSE HAVE THE ABILITY
TO SAY THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE
LIARS AND YOU SHOULDN’T TRUST
THEM.
SO, YES, THAT DOES HELP.
BUT THE DEFENSE THAT ANY
GOOD DEFENSE ATTORNEY CAN FLIP
ABOUT INTO A GOOD IF I’M THE
DEFENSE ATTORNEY, I’M POINTING
TO THE FACT THAT, LOOK, MICHAEL
COHEN IS USING HIS BLOW HORN
TO ATTACK HIS, QUOTE UNQUOTE,
ACOLYTES, HIS ATTORNEYS,
AND USING THE MEDIA TO PUSH
HIS AGENDA.
ISN’T THAT THE SAME THING
THAT DONALD TRUMP IS DOING.
AND I THINK THEY’RE GOING
TO MAKE A BIG ONE ABOUT HIS END
OF THAT AND THEY CAN MAYBE DO
SOME PUSHBACK.
I WE’LL SEE.
>> ALL RIGHT, OLIVIA, WE NOW
I THAT WE HAVE YOU WITH US NOW.
YOU WERE INSIDE THE COURTROOM.
>> WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU TODAY
?
WELL, WE HEARD EARLIER FROM
PEKAR TODAY ABOUT THE MEETING
WHERE DETERMINED WITH DONALD
TRUMP AND MICHAEL COHEN
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BUY
NEGATIVE STORIES AND BURY THEM.
AND NOW REALLY
STUNNING TESTIMONY FROM
DAVID PECKER HERE TO WRAP TODAY
WHERE HE WALKED THE JURY
THROUGH THE FIRST TIME THAT HE
EVER AND KILLED A STORY FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
IT WAS IN LATE 2015 AND IT WAS
A DOORMAN WHO WORKED AT TRUMP
TOWER SHOPPING A FALSE STORY
THAT DONALD TRUMP HAD FATHERED
ILLEGITIMATE CHILD WITH A MAID
AT TRUMP TOWER.
AND YOU CAN SORT OF SEE DONALD
TRUMP’S FACE AS HEAD IS SHAKING
.
HE’S SITTING AT THE DEFENSE
TABLE WHEN PECKER FIRST
SAID WHAT THAT ALLEGATION
IS AND PECKER WALKED THROUGH
WHAT THEY DID WITH THAT STORY,
HE THAT HE IMMEDIATELY PICKED
UP THE PHONE AND CALLED MICHAEL
COHEN WHEN HIS TEAM BECAME
AWARE THAT THE ALLEGATIONS WERE
BEING SHOPPED AND THAT NEED
DETERMINED THAT IT WAS AN
IMPORTANT STORY, THAT IT COULD
DAMAGE CAMPAIGN AND AS SUCH
THAT THEY SHOULD BUY IT.
AND HE SAID THAT MICHAEL COHEN
SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THE STORY
WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT.
POTENTIALLY A NEW NUGGET.
HE SAID THAT DONALD
TRUMP OFFERED TO TAKE A DNA
TEST TO PROVE THAT IT WASN’T
TRUE.
BUT PECKER SAID THAT WOULD NOT
BE NECESSARY, THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO BUY IT.
AND I WANT TO READ THIS QUOTE.
COHEN RESPONDED VERY CLEARLY,
PECKER SAID.
HE SAID THE BOSS WILL VERY
PLEASED, SAYING THE BOSS MAN,
DONALD TRUMP.
SO TYING DONALD TRUMP INTO THIS
EFFORT, VERY, VERY CLOSELY.
AND OF COURSE, THERE WE KNOW
THAT THAT STORY DID END UP NOT
BEING TRUE.
THERE WAS NO ILLEGITIMATE TRIAL
THAT DONALD TRUMP HAD WITH A
MAID AT TRUMP TOWER.
BUT THE REALLY TELLING PART
OF THIS TESTIMONY IS WHEN
THE PROSECUTOR WAS DYING OFF
ASKING, WHY ARE PAYING $30,000
TO BURY AN UNTRUTH STORY?
AND PECKER ULTIMATELY TESTIFIED
BECAUSE THE STORY GOT
TO ANOTHER PUBLICATION.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EMBARRASSING
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
AND THE PROSECUTOR SAID SO IT
WAS A WAY TO LOCK IT UP.
AND PECKER SAID THAT.
CORRECT.
AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME
THAT WE HAVE REALLY HEARD
THE TELLING OF THAT, YOU KNOW,
INSTANCE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE
THREE KEY INSTANCES
THAT PROSECUTORS ARE LAYING OUT
HERE REALLY STARTING HERE.
>> SO, JOHN, WHO COULD BE THE
NEXT STUNNING, INTERESTING
CONTROVERSY, DEAL OF NONSTOP
WATCH TELEVISION WITNESS
TO TAKE THE STAND AFTER
DAVID PECKER.
>> I KYRA, HOW MUCH TIME
YOU GOT?
THERE’S A LOT OF DEFINITELY
FASCINATING THAT COULD TAKE
THE STAND HERE.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FORMER
ASSISTANT TO DONALD TRUMP.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT LONGTIME
AIDES LIKE HOPE HICKS.
WE ARE OBVIOUSLY ALSO TALKING
ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY
DANIELS.
THEY BOTH WILL TAKE THE STAND.
AND REMEMBER, KYRA, DONALD
TRUMP, MICHAEL COHEN,
HAVE FACED OFF JUST WITHIN
THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
COHEN TOOK THE STAND,
OF COURSE, AS YOU’LL RECALL,
DURING THE NEW YORK
ATTORNEY GENERAL, CIVIL CASE
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
AND IT WAS DESCRIBED AS OUR
TEAM.
THAT WAS COURT THEN.
I WAS IN COURT FOR SOME OF IT
AS WELL, EXTREMELY BETWEEN
THE TWO, BECAUSE YOU HAVE
TO REMEMBER THIS.
AND KYRA, I KNOW YOU KNOW
YOU SAID YOU WERE TEXTING
WITH MICHAEL COHEN EARLIER.
BUT FOR OUR VIEWERS AT HOME,
THINK ABOUT THE PERSON IN YOUR
LIFE THAT IS THE MOST LOYAL
SOMEONE WOULD NEVER FLIP
ON YOU, SOMEBODY THAT YOU TOLD
YOUR DEEPEST, DARKEST SECRETS
TO.
AND THEN THEY’RE ON A STAND
TELLING ALL THAT IS WHAT COHEN
HAS DONE SO FAR TO DONALD
TRUMP AND HE WILL DO ON IN
A CASE THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS
TOLD PEOPLE AROUND HIM.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE FINDS
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE
EMBARRASSING.
AND MICHAEL COHEN IS GOING
TO SHINE A HUGE LIGHT
ON THE THING THAT DONALD
TRUMP IS EMBARRASSED THE MOST.
>> SO LEGALLY, BRIAN, YOU KNOW
,SEEN A LOT OF CRITICS OUT
THERE FOLLOWING THIS AND THE
FACT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST
OF THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT ARE
OUT CONCERNING DONALD TRUMP AND
THIS ONE IS SO SALACIOUS
AND HAS ALL THESE INTERESTING
CHARACTERS.
IT’S THE ONE THAT GOES
BACK WHAT, SIX YEARS THAT DAY
THAT THAT MICHAEL COHEN’S
OFFICE WAS WAS RAIDED AND THEN,
YOU KNOW, IT’S BEEN A DOMINO
EFFECT EVER, EVER SINCE THEN.
BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE
CRITICISM THAT THIS AGAINST
TRUMP IS NOT ONLY A LEGAL
EMBARRASSMENT, BUT ALSO
A HISTORIC MISTAKE?
THERE ARE SOME ATTORNEYS OUT
THERE THAT ARE THAT ARE SAYING
THAT.
>> DO YOU THINK OF THAT
THOUGHT?
I’M OF DIFFERENT MINDS
IN RESPECTS.
I SEE SOME OF THE CRITICISM
SPECIFICALLY AS THE ARGUMENT
TO WHAT IS THE UNDERLYING
CRIME.
AND EVEN IN THE OPENING
STATEMENTS, I’M TRYING FIND
THAT MYSELF AS WELL.
AND THAT BEING THAT THERE
IS THIS OF BUSINESS RECORDS FOR
THE PURPOSE OF CONCEALING
ANOTHER CRIME, I SEE THAT AS AN
ISSUE.
HOWEVER, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS,
US AS THE LEGAL COMMUNITY, WE
MAY BE ABLE TO THINK
OF ARGUMENTS OR WHY THE DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS THEMSELVES MAKING
THAT.
THE OTHER CRITICISM I SEE
IS THAT ON SELECTIVE
PROSECUTION, WHEN THAT GOES
TO PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION,
CAN CHOOSE TO BRING CASES
THEY DO OR DO NOT WANT TO BRING
.
>> BUT ULTIMATELY, WHEN I SEE
THE CRITICISMS AND I SEE THEM,
I HEAR THEM, I PUSH BACK ON
THEM.
I LISTEN.
I TRY MY BEST TO BE AS FAIR
AND BALANCED.
>> LOOKING AT THIS CASE
AS POSSIBLE.
I ALWAYS COME DOWN TO THE
SAME CONCLUSION PUT TO PEOPLE
IN THE BOX AND PROVE IT.
IF HE CAN’T DO THAT, THEN
WHAT ARE WE ARGUING ABOUT?
IF THIS CASE IS SUCH A SHAM,
THEN THEN THE JURY WILL FIND
THAT AND IF NOT, THE COURT
OF APPEALS WILL.
>> OLIVIA, FINAL THOUGHT,
I UNDERSTAND A MAN WAS ARRESTED
IN COURT TODAY.
>> THERE WAS A MAN ARRESTED
ON THE 15TH FLOOR OF THE
COURTHOUSE.
HE, AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC
WHO FOUND THE WOUND UP IN THE
OVERFLOW ROOM.
AND WE WERE ACTUALLY ALL
IN THERE WAITING FOR
THE PROCEEDINGS TO GET
UNDERWAY.
WHEN HE STOOD UP, TOO, ONLY TO
FIND OUT THAT HE WAS IN THE
OVERFLOW ROOM, NOT THE ACTUAL
COURTROOM, AND WAS REPEATEDLY
DEMANDING TO BE LET INTO
THE COURTROOM AND TRY TO FIND
OUT WHERE IT WAS.
AND THERE WERE MULTIPLE
OFFICERS THAT WERE TRYING
TO CALM HIM DOWN THERE.
ACTUALLY, A COUPLE OF MEMBERS
OF THE PRESS THAT WERE TRYING
EXPLAIN TO HIM WHY HE WAS
IN THE OVERFLOW ROOM, BECAUSE
THE MAIN COURTROOM WAS FULL,
BUT THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
WERE ALLOWED INSIDE AND.
HE JUST WOULD NOT STOP.
SO WE SAW THEM TAKE HIM OUT
OF THE OVERFLOW ROOM.
THEY CAME BACK AND GRABBED
SOME HANDCUFFS AND HE WAS
ULTIMATELY ARRESTED.
I BELIEVE HE WAS ISSUED
A SUMMONS AND THEN RELEASED.
SO JUST A LITTLE INCIDENT THERE
ON 15TH FLOOR OF THE
COURTHOUSE, BUT NOT NOT
DISTURBING ANY OF THE
PROCEEDINGS.
ALL RIGHT.
GOT IT.
ALWAYS SOMETHING.
OLIVIA, JOHN, BRIAN, THANK
YOU ALL SO MUCH.
>> I APPRECIATE IT.
COMING UP, TENSIONS ESCALATE

LOUIS VUITTON PRADA THE GUCCI
GET EVERYTHING TO MAKE
A SUPER FAKE IS EASIER NOW EVER
BEFORE ANYBODY CAN BE FOOLED
ANYBODY SUPER FAKES NOW
STREAMING ON HULU.
>> SO PROTESTS HAVE BEEN
ERUPTING ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
ACROSS.
THE COUNTRY NOW DOZENS
OF ARRESTS HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE
AT SOME OF THE NATION’S MOST
PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES, LIKE
COLUMBIA, CALTECH, NYU, MIT
AND YALE.
AND WE’VE BEEN WATCHING THE
TENSIONS JUST ESCALATE OVER
THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR AND POLICE
IN RIOT GEAR.
WE’VE BEEN BROUGHT IN TO BREAK
UP THE CROWDS, ARRESTING
HUNDREDS OF PROTESTERS OVER
THE LAST FEW DAYS.
DESPITE POLICE EFFORTS, THOUGH,
THOSE PROTESTS CONTINUE TO GROW
AND SPREAD.
COLUMBIA NOW ANNOUNCING
THAT THEY ARE MOVING TO HYBRID
LEARNING FOR THE REST OF THE
SEMESTER.
WHILE SOME PROTESTERS ENGAGED
A STANDOFF WITH AUTHORITIES
FALLING IN ORDER TO EVACUATE.
BUT IT’S NOT JUST THE STUDENTS
AT COLUMBIA.
PROFESSORS ARE ALSO TURNING OUT
FOR THESE PROTESTS, INCLUDING
JEWISH PROFESSOR ALEX WOLFF.
HERE’S HE TOLD
OUR STEPHANIE RAMOS.
>> I DON’T KNOW.
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME
IS GOING TO BE, BUT I KNOW
THAT STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE
DEMANDING THAT THEIR
ADMINISTRATION FOR WHAT THEY
ARE PAYING A VERY LARGE AMOUNTS
OF MONEY DIVEST FROM ISRAEL.
SO WHAT I KNOW IS THAT
IT’S ACTING, FRANKLY, THAT ARE
CAPABLE OF MAKING SOME CHANGES
.
>> SO WE’RE GOING TO OUR
IKE EJIOCHI IS FOLLOWING
THE STORY FOR US.
SO WHERE DO THINGS STAND RIGHT
NOW?
>> WELL, CAROL, WHAT WE’RE
SEEING RIGHT NOW IS ESSENTIALLY
A SWELL IN THE ACTION.
WHAT DO I MEAN?
WE’RE STARTING TO SEE IN AT
LEAST EIGHT COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, STARTING TO SEE
THESE TENTS, THESE ENCAMPMENTS
ON THE GROUND OF THE
UNIVERSITIES.
AND TAKE A LOOK, JUST IN THE
BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK, WE’RE
STARTING TO SEE HOW INTENSE
THAT IS.
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, OVER
A HUNDRED ARRESTS AFTER THOSE
INDIVIDUALS THERE ESSENTIALLY
REFUSE TO LISTEN TO POLICE
ORDERS TO DISPERSE THEMSELVES
FROM THEIR CAMPUS.
TAKE A LOOK AT YALE, JUST UP
9547 PROTEST STORIES THERE.
WE’RE GETTING SOME SENSE
BECAUSE OF THEIR ENCAMPMENT
ON THAT UNIVERSITY AND,
OF COURSE, AN NYU.
WHAT WE SAW JUST CLASH BETWEEN
THE NYPD AND OBVIOUSLY
THE PROTESTERS THAT MADE
THEIR WAY IN FRONT OF THE
BUSINESS SCHOOL THERE.
150 PEOPLE ARRESTED FROM
THAT PROTEST THERE.
NOT TO MENTION THAT THE
TEN THING HAPPENED THAT WE’RE
SEEING ON THAT CAMPUS.
THIS IS HAPPENING AT SEVERAL
CAMPUSES, KYRA, FROM
THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN,
OF EMERSON.
>> WE’RE SEEING THIS ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
AND WHAT THIS REALLY IS, AGAIN,
IS THE BACKLASH OR SORT OF THE
RESPONSE THAT WE’RE STARTING
TO SEE FROM THESE UNIVERSITIES
IN ORDER TO QUELL THESE
PROTESTS KYRA.
>> I’M SEEING, TOO, THIS
IS COMING ACROSS OF OUR
OUR EMAIL.
I CAN I WONDER IF YOU’VE SEEN
THIS THAT MAYOR ADAMS THERE,
NEW YORK, SPEAKING OUT, SAYING
THAT THE PROTESTS HAVE TURNED
VIOLENT, ARE MOSTLY INVOLVING
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED
WITH ANY CAUSE AND OR ARE NOT
EVEN COLLEGE STUDENTS.
HE SAYS WE, IDENTIFIED
INDIVIDUALS WHO DON’T ATTEND
THE SCHOOLS WHO ARE ON CAMPUSES
.
SO THE INTERESTING JUST TO SEE
HOW SECURITY BOTH ON AND OFF
MAY DIFFER.
DO WE KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT BECAUSE WE KNOW COLUMBIA
IS THE FIRST COLLEGE
TO ACTUALLY GO REMOTE BECAUSE
OF THESE PROTESTS AND CONCERNS
ABOUT SAFETY.
SO DO YOU THINK OTHER
INSTITUTIONS WILL FOLLOW SUIT?
THAT’S.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE
TRYING TO SEE RIGHT NOW.
COLUMBIA ADDING 111 DIFFERENT
PERSONNEL THAT WILL BE GOING
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS.
NOW, THEY’RE EVEN TRYING TO SET
UP WHAT THEY’RE CALLING A SAFE
CORRIDOR FOR STUDENTS SO
THEY CAN MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH
THE CAMPUS SAFELY.
BUT AGAIN, THAT THAT INCIDENT
WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW
HIGHLIGHTED AT NYU, THAT’S
WHERE WE’RE THAT VIOLENCE.
THE NYPD RELEASED AN EDITED
VIDEO THAT SHOWS WHAT SOME
OF THEIR OFFICERS WERE GOING
THROUGH.
WE’VE SEEN HELMET THAT WAS
DAMAGED BY AN OFFICER WHO
ACTUALLY TOOK A BLOW TO THE
HEAD FROM A CHAIR.
THERE’S ONE PART OF THAT VIDEO
WILL RECEIVE A BOTTLE
BEING THROWN BACK AT OFFICERS
DURING THAT CLASS NIGHT.
SO IT’S ONLY WE’RE UNABLE
TO SEE IT.
ESSENTIALLY, THIS HYBRID OR ANY
OF THESE ISSUES WILL BE LONG
TERM.
WE KNOW GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL
DOWN TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
SPOKE TO THEM SAYING THAT THEY
NEED CONVERSATION AND NOT
ISOLATION.
SO THAT’S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO
SEE MOVING FORWARD KYRA.
ALL RIGHT.
I APPRECIATE IT.
THANKS SO MUCH.
IN OREGON, ALSO SAY THAT A
SUSPECT HAS BEEN ARRESTED AFTER
VIDEO CAPTURED WHAT APPEARS
BE A KIDNAPPING.
A SLIGHT WARNING TO VIEWERS,
THOUGH, THAT YOU MIGHT FIND
THIS A BIT DISTURBING.
IT’S THE HOME SECURITY CAMERA
THAT ACTUALLY CAN CAPTURED THIS
HORRIFYING MOMENT WHERE YOU SEE
THE WOMAN RIGHT THERE ATTACKED
AT THE FRONT DOOR AND THEN
SHE’S WHISKED AWAY AGAINST
HER WILL.
FORTUNATELY, THE VICTIM WAS
FOUND SAFE AND THAT SUSPECT
IS NOW IN CUSTODY.
BUT POLICE ARE NOTING THAT THIS
WAS NOT A RANDOM ATTACK.
LET’S BRING IN OUR MELISSA DAN,
WHO’S BEEN TRACKING IT.
WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW.
>> WELL, KYRA, LOOK, SO FAR,
THE LATEST INFORMATION WE GOT
POLICE IS ESSENTIALLY THIS
IS LOOKING LIKE A DOMESTIC
DISPUTE FAR.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SUSPECT
AND VICTIM KNEW EACH OTHER,
NOTING THIS WAS NOT A RANDOM
ATTACK.
SO WE’RE LOOKING INTO THEIR TO
SEE WHAT INVESTIGATORS
WILL FIND OUT THERE,
HIGHLIGHTING THAT AT THIS POINT
THERE IS NO DANGER, THE PUBLIC.
POLICE SAY AFTER THEY FOUND OUT
WHO WAS INVOLVED THEY WERE ABLE
TO ARREST THE SUSPECT AND THAT
VICTIM WAS FOUND SAFE.
OF COURSE, ALL THIS HAPPENING
ON SUNDAY AND THEN THIS MORNING
THAT’S WHEN WE GOT THOSE LATEST
UPDATES THAT THAT SUSPECT
IS NOW FACING A KIDNAPPING
CHARGE.
BUT POLICE SAY AT THIS POINT
THEY’RE NOT THE NAMES OF THAT
SUSPECT OR VICTIM, BUT AGAIN,
KYRA, IMPORTANT THERE THAT THAT
VICTIM NOW IS SAFE.
HEY, DEFINITELY.
AND SO POLICE SAY THAT THERE
THERE IS NO DANGER TO THE
PUBLIC RIGHT NOW, THEN,
CORRECT.
SAYING THERE IS NO DANGER
TO THE PUBLIC.
>> AND LOOK HERE, OF COURSE,
PRETTY EVENT, RIGHT?
ANYONE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD,
THIS IS A HILLSBORO COMMUNITY
WOULD, BE PRETTY ALARMED TO SEE
SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED.
SO WHAT’S INTERESTING HERE,
OUR ABC AFFILIATE IN PORTLAND,
YOU SEE THIS VIDEO ON OUR
SCREEN.
THEY ACTUALLY WITH THE WOMAN
WHOSE DOORBELL CAMERA CAPTURED
THIS SCARY MOMENT.
I MEAN, IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU
AND THIS IS WHAT APPEARS
ON YOUR DOORSTEP AS WELL.
SHE SAYS SHE DID NOT HEAR
THE VICTIM SCREAMS OUTSIDE
OF HER DOOR, BUT SHE HEARD
KNOCKING AND THEN THAT’S WHEN
SHE SAW THIS VIDEO.
SHE US, THE VICTIM LOOKED
AND SOUNDED SCARED, OF COURSE.
AND SHE COULD TELL REALLY WAS
A FRANTIC MOMENT, WHICH IS WHAT
LED HER IMMEDIATELY TO CALL 911
.
>> SO, KYRA, SO IMPORTANT THERE
AGAIN, THAT HAPPENING SUNDAY.
IMMEDIATELY, THIS WOMAN,
MARISOL, TAKING ACTION CALLING
911 AFTER SHE SAW WHAT PLAYED
OUT AT HER FRONT DOOR AND THEN
THAT LED POLICE THERE IN OREGON
TO BE ESSENTIALLY FIGURE OUT
WHO IS THIS SUSPECT, WHO’S THIS
VICTIM WHO WAS INVOLVED.
AND, OF COURSE, THAT NOW KIND
OF COMING TO A CONCLUSION
THAT THEY WERE FOUND THAT NOW
FACING THOSE CHARGES.
AND WE’LL SEE LATER AS THIS
STORY DEVELOPS WITH POLICE
WHAT THE SITUATION WAS THAT LED
UP TO THE SCARY MOMENT, KYRA,
LOOKING LIKE POSSIBLY
A DOMESTIC THE DOMESTIC DISPUTE
THERE.
>> WE’LL TRACK IT.

AND BURY ALL THE UNFLATTERING
ABOUT HIS GOOD FRIEND DONALD
TRUMP.
BECKER’S TESTIMONY FOLLOWS THIS
MORNING’S COMBATIVE HEARING
ABOUT THAT GAG ORDER AS WELL
WITH JUDGE ONE MOTION
REPEATEDLY ADMONISHING TRUMP’S
ATTORNEYS, SAYING THEY WEREN’T
ANSWERING.
THE LACK OF EVIDENCE IS CAUSING
THEM TO LOSE CREDIBILITY.
THE COURT PROSECUTORS
ARE ASKING THE JUDGE TO HOLD
TRUMP IN CONTEMPT NOW UPPING
THE CLAIMS THAT HE’S VIOLATED
THE GAG ORDER.
11 TIMES.
LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR
REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS,
ALSO OUR CONTRIBUTOR,
BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
SO DAVID PECKER HAS BEEN ALLY
IN COMBAT FOR FOUR DECADES.
HE’S NEVER OUT AGAINST HIM
BEFORE.
AS MUCH AS ALL OF US HAVE TRIED
,GET HIM TO TALK.
SO THE FACT THAT HE WAS
ON THE STAND AND TALKING
ABOUT IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR
FORM THE EYES AND EARS FOR
NEGATIVE STORIES AND THEIR
AND HOW TO KILL WENT A LONG WAY
IN COURT TODAY.
IT KYRA, AND IT’S HUGELY
SIGNIFICANT.
AS YOU NOTED, WE HAVEN’T HEARD
PECKER BEFORE.
WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO HEAR FROM
HIM, BUT NOW WE’RE HEARING FROM
HIM THIS CRIMINAL TRIAL.
AND HIS TESTIMONY IS CENTRAL
HERE.
IT RELATES TO THESE CATCH
AND KILL SCHEMES, IF YOU WILL.
ESSENTIALLY KILLING
THE NEGATIVE STORIES
ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP OR
STORIES THAT RELATED TO HIS
ACTIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE MIDDLE OF A
CAMPAIGN.
AND HE IS CRUCIAL HERE BECAUSE
WHILE PROSECUTE IS INTEND
TO RELY HEAVILY ON TRUMP’S
FORMER LAWYER AND FIXER,
MICHAEL COHEN, COHEN DOES
HAVE A CREDIBILITY PROBLEM
HERE.
SO THEY NEED SOMEBODY ELSE
TO BOLSTER SOME OF WHAT COHEN
IS SAYING IN PECKER.
THEY ALLEGE WAS INVOLVED IN A
LOT OF THESE CONVERSATIONS
THAT WERE HAPPENING AT TRUMP
TOWER, THAT CENTRAL MEETING
THAT THEY TALK ABOUT IN 2015
WITH TRUMP.
COHEN AND PECKER, WHERE
THEY DISCUSSED THIS CATCHING
AND KILLING STORIES.
IF YOU SO THEY’RE RELYING
ON HIM OF COURSE TO CORROBORATE
A LOT THESE AND TALK ABOUT A
LOT OF THESE MEETINGS BUT ALSO
TO BOLSTER THE CREDIBILITY
HENCE WHY THEY DID CALL HIM.
PROSECUTORS DID CALL HIM AS THE
FIRST WITNESS.
ALL RIGHT.
SO, BRIAN, TRUMP SAYS HE IS
WILLING TO TESTIFY, BUT THE
JUDGE HAS RULED THAT HE COULD
ASKED ABOUT OTHER CASES AS WELL
ON THE STAND AS WELL.
>> COULD THIS CHANGE DECISION,
YOU THINK, ON WHETHER
TO TESTIFY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
SANDOVAL HEARING RULINGS, WHICH
WAS WHAT YOU’RE ALLUDING TO,
WHERE THE JUDGE SAYS CERTAIN
TOPICS CAN BE EXPLORED BY A
CRIMINAL DEFENDANT IF THEY DO
TAKE THE STAND, IS A BIG REASON
WHY MANY PEOPLE DON’T TAKE THIS
STAND.
THE WAY I OFTEN PUT IT WITH MY
CLIENTS AFTER WE’VE HAD
THAT RULING IN, THAT HEARING,
AS WE KIND OF MARCH THROUGH
THE DIFFERENT EVIDENCE
THAT COULD HAVE HURT THEM.
AND IN A CASE LIKE THIS, WHERE
A LARGE COMPONENT IS THE
INTENTION TO THE FRAUD,
THE MINDSET OF DONALD
TRUMP DURING THESE
ALLEGED ACTIONS, PUTTING HIM
ON THE STAND COULD HURT BECAUSE
YOU JUST HAVE A PROSECUTOR
SAYING.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THIS AND WHAT
ABOUT THIS?
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS?
AND HIS ACTIONS, REACTIONS,
RESPONSES AND LACK THEREOF
COULD BE USED TO INCRIMINATE
HIM.
>> AND THAT’S NOT THE BEST
PLACE FOR HIM TO BE.
>> SO, CATHERINE,
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A FORMER
PRESIDENT, IS REQUIRED TO BE
IN COURT FOR THIS CRIMINAL
TRIAL.
HE SAID AN EMAIL TO HIS
SUPPORTERS THAT HE’S BEING HELD
HOSTAGE, THOUGH CLEARLY TRYING
TO GAIN THE SUPPORT OF THOSE
WHO HAVE SYMPATHY FOR HIM.
>> RIGHT.
AND IT SHOWS THE BLENDING
OF THE LEGAL AND POLITICAL
STRATEGY THAT, CAROL, WITH THAT
EMAIL THAT READ OF HIM
BEING HELD HOSTAGE.
WELL, HE’S RIGHT THAT HE DOES
HAVE TO SIT IN THAT COURTROOM.
HE IS REQUIRED TO BE THERE.
HE’S SAYING HE WANTS TO GET
BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
TRUMP DOES UNDERSTAND
AND FRANKLY BELIEVES THAT BEING
AT THAT AND TALKING AT THAT
CAMERA THAT WE’VE SEEN HIM TALK
AT SO MANY TIMES, THAT THAT
HELPS POLITICALLY.
IT’S THIS BLENDING OF THE
POLITICAL AND THE LEGAL, IF
YOU WILL.
HE SAYS THAT HE’S
BEING UNFAIRLY PROSECUTED
AND THAT THIS IS PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S FAULT.
THERE’S NOT REALLY ANY EVIDENCE
OF THAT.
BUT THAT’S THE MESSAGE THAT HE
WANTS TO GET TO THE SUPPORTERS.
AND I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL
STRATEGY HERE, TRUMP’S STRATEGY
LEGALLY HAS BEEN TO DELAY,
DELAY, DELAY, POLITICALLY,
IT’S TO SPEED THIS UP.
BUT HE CAN’T REALLY HAVE IT
BOTH WAYS.
BUT EITHER WAY, HE DOES VIEW
HIS LEGAL BATTLES AND HIS
CHALLENGES AS POLITICALLY
BENEFICIAL TO HIS CAMPAIGN.
AT THE END OF DAY.
>> SO BRIAN JUDGE MERCHAN SAYS
THAT HE WILL NOT RULE
ON THE GAG ORDER NOW FROM
THE BENCH, TELLING TRUMP’S
ATTORNEY, HEY, YOU’RE NOT
OFFERING ANYTHING FOR ME
TO HANG MY HAT ON.
SO WHY DO YOU THINK HE SAID
THAT?
AND WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR
REGARDING GAG ORDER?
>> YEAH.
SO I KIND OF ANSWER ANSWERED
IN DIFFERENT PIECES.
WHEN A JUDGE TELLS YOU THAT
YOU’RE NOT GIVING ME ANYTHING
TO HANG MY HAT ON, IT’S NOT
A GOOD SIGN FOR THE PROSECUTOR
OR THE DEFENSE.
BASICALLY, THE JUDGE IS SAYING
THAT THE OTHER SIDE HAS GIVEN
ME SOME SORT OF LEGAL BASIS
AND BY WHICH I CAN MAKE
A RULING ON IT AND SAY
THAT THIS IS WHY I’M GOING
IN THIS DIRECTION AND.
WHEN THE JUDGE SAYS OUT OF YOU
THAT YOU AREN’T GIVING ANYTHING
TO HANG MY HAT ON, HE’S SAYING
YOU’RE NOT GETTING ANY
AUTHORITY, ANY LEGAL ARGUMENT,
ANY FACTION OR ARGUMENT AS TO
WHY YOUR SIDE WINS.
AND I THINK THAT COMES FROM
THE ARGUMENT THAT DONALD
TRUMP IS PUSHING BACK ON
PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT HIM
AND THAT FALL INTO
POLITICAL RATHER THAN
A VIOLATION THE GAG ORDER.
AND WHEN THE JUDGE SAYS, OKAY,
WHAT IS HE PUSHING BACK ON?
WHAT ARE THESE STATEMENTS?
AND NO RESPONSE WAS GIVEN.
THAT’S WHEN THE JUDGE MAKES
THAT KIND OF COMMENT IN REGARDS
TO NOT RULING FROM BENCH.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO COME
BACK INTO CHAMBERS AND WE
HAVE A LONG TIME NOW
I’M ASSUMING THAT THE JUDGE IS
IN CHAMBERS NOW WORKING ON THIS
ON HIS ORDER.
HE’S GOING TO WRITE A DECISION
THAT’S, GOING TO LAY OUT
HIS THOUGHT PROCESS, GOING
TO LAY OUT THE LEGAL
JUSTIFICATIONS, AND THEN
ULTIMATELY HIS CONCLUSION AS TO
WHY HE’S EITHER GOING TO HOLD
THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN
CONTEMPT OF COURT OR NOT,
AND THEN ULTIMATELY WHAT,
THAT PENALTY WILL BE FINE OR
JUST A STERN TALKING YOU.
>> SO, KATHERINE, DO YOU THINK
THAT JUDGE MERSHON APPEARED
A LITTLE IRRITATED WITH JUST
THE LACK OF EVIDENCE FROM
THE TRUMP TRUMP DEFENSE TEAM
AT THIS POINT?
I MEAN, HE TOLD TRUMP’S
ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHE THAT HE
WAS LOSING CREDIBILITY WITH THE
COURT.
>> YEAH, THAT’S PROBABLY
THE OPPOSITE TYPE OF COMMENT.
YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM A JUDGE
AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN THERE?
LOOK, TODD BLANCHE WAS ASKED
MULTIPLE TIMES TO GIVE CERTAIN
EVIDENCE, SORT OF SOME
REASONING, IF YOU WILL,
ABOUT WHY TRUMP CAN SAY WHAT HE
WANTS TO SAY OUT OF CAMERA.
AND BLANCH REALLY COULDN’T DO
THAT.
AND THAT’S WHEN THE JUDGE
ADMONISHED HIM AND SAID
DIRECTLY TO TRUMP’S LEAD LAWYER
THAT YOU ARE LOSING CREDIBILITY
WITH THIS COURT CERTAINLY NOT
SOMETHING THAT TRUMP’S WANT
TO HEAR.
AT THE SAME TIME HIS DEFENSE
TEAM A PRETTY UPHILL BATTLE, IF
YOU WILL, DEFENDING THIS INSIDE
COURTROOM.
THEY’RE SAYING, LOOK, HE SHOULD
BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT HE WANTS.
THIS IS POLITICAL SPEECH.
WITNESSES ARE SPEAKING
ABOUT HIM.
WHY CAN’T TRUMP, IN TURN, TALK
THE WITNESSES?
BUT THAT’S NOT THE WAY IT
WORKS.
TRUMP CAN’T DO THAT.
HE CAN’T TALK ABOUT THE
WITNESSES, HENCE WHY THIS GAG
ORDER IS IN PLACE.
ALL RIGHT, BRIAN.
SO IF HE IS FOUND IN CONTEMPT,
TRUMP FACES ANYTHING FROM
A WARNING TO POTENTIAL TIME.
HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING
OUT?
BECAUSE ALL KINDS OF LEGAL
BEAGLES THAT HAVE BEEN ON OUR
AIR SAY IT’S HIGHLY WE’RE GOING
TO SEE THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN
CUFFS.
YES I’LL ADD TO THE LEGAL
BEAGLE, AS YOU PUT IT,
CONVERSATION YEAH, I DON’T
THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SEE
DONALD TRUMP IN BECAUSE THIS
IS THE TYPE OF CONTENT THAT YOU
OFTEN SEE WITH GAG ORDERS OR
JUDICIARIES MEANING THAT LIKE
AN ATTORNEY IS BEING HELD
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR SAYING
SOMETHING.
THE JUDGE WANT.
AND IN THAT INSTANCE, YOU DON’T
SEE PEOPLE GETTING HANDCUFFED
ALTHOUGH THE LAW DOES SAY
IN THE OFFICE OF THE JUDICIARY
CONTEMPT GET 30 DAYS,
BUT YOU’RE MORE LIKELY TO SEE
THAT THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE
BEING HANDED OUT FOR EACH
AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE
VIOLATIONS OF CONTEMPT IF
THE JUDGE DOES FIND IT TO BE
ONE.
>> ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, KATHERINE,
YOU BOTH.
>> MAJOR VOTE IS TAKING PLACE
IN THE SENATE.
LAWMAKERS ARE HOLDING
TWO PROCEDURAL VOTES ON FOUR
FOREIGN AID BILLS.
THAT INCLUDES FUNDING UKRAINE,
ISRAEL AND TAIWAN.
ALSO TIED INTO THE PACKAGE
THE U.S. BAN ON TIK TOK.
MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER
TELLING HIS FELLOW SENATORS
IT’S TIME TO GET THE JOB DONE.
>> THAT IS NOT DELAY THIS.
LET US NOT PROLONG THIS.
LET US NOT KEEP OUR FRIENDS
AROUND THE WORLD WAITING FOR
A MOMENT LONGER.
I WILL NOT MINCE WORDS FROM
MEMBERS OF MY OWN PARTY CLEARLY
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP, LARGELY TODAY.
BUT AS YOU LOOK AND WE MUST NOT
ONLY.
>> JOINING ME NOW, SENIOR WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT
SELINA WANG, WHO’S THERE
ON CAPITOL HILL.
SELINA, HOW IS THIS EXPECTED
TO PLAY OUT IN THE SENATE?
>> YEAH, CAROL THIS IS ACTUALLY
EXPECTED TO SPEED THROUGH
THE SENATE.
THIS HAS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
IT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AGO WHEN THE SENATE HAD PASSED
THEIR OWN VERSION OF THIS BILL,
WHICH WAS VERY SIMILAR, $95
BILLION IN FOREIGN AID EXCEPT
FOR WITHOUT TIKTOK PART.
NOW, THE QUESTION IS, HOW LONG
IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?
IT COULD PASS AS AS TONIGHT,
AS LATE AS TOMORROW NIGHT.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOW
THE SENATORS DEBATE THIS
MATTER.
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE
AGAINST THIS.
YOU HAVE HARD LINE REPUBLICANS
WHO DON’T WANT TO SEND ANY
MORE AID TO UKRAINE.
I WAS JUST SPEAKING
TO REPUBLICAN SENATOR SCHMIDT
WHO SAYS HE WANTS TO SEE
ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN IT COMES
TO THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN AID THAT’S GOING TO FUND
HELP UKRAINE AND SUPPORT THEM.
>> AND THEN THERE ARE ALSO
PROGRESSIVES LIKE
SENATOR SANDERS WHO DON’T WANT
TO SEND UNCONDITIONAL AID
TO ISRAEL.
BUT DESPITE SOME OF
THAT PUSHBACK, THIS IS EXPECTED
TO PASS WITH THAT BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT.
>> AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SPEAKING
TO ALL ABOUT UKRAINE JUST
YESTERDAY.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT TOOK
PLACE ON THAT CALL.
>> YEAH, HERE THEY SPOKE
BY PHONE.
THE PRESIDENT VOWED TO SIGN
THIS FOREIGN AID BILL INTO LAW
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
AND REAFFIRMED AMERICA’S
SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE.
THIS IS A BIG WIN FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHO HAS BEEN
PUSHING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS.
AND NOW IT’S ON THE CUSP
OF BEING AT THE FINISH LINE.
AND THIS COULD REALLY CHANGE
THE TIDE POTENTIALLY FOR
UKRAINE.
THEY’VE BEEN RUNNING OUT
OF AMMUNITION.
THIS IS GOING TO RESUPPLY
THEIR DEFENSES AND, COULD HELP
SLOW RUSSIAN ADVANCES.
>> ALL RIGHT, SELINA WANG.
>> THEY’RE UP ON CAPITOL HILL
FOR US TODAY.
SELINA, THANK YOU.
SO PRESIDENT BIDEN IS TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF TIMING AND HEADS
TO TAMPA.
TAMPA RATHER, JUST ONE WEEK
AHEAD OF THE STATE’S
SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN.
THAT’S EFFECT HE PLANS
ON GIVING REMARKS ON ABORTION
RIGHTS.
STATE DEMOCRATS ALSO TRY TO USE
THE POPULARITY OF ABORTION
ACCESS TO GAIN VOTES COME
NOVEMBER.
NOW, THAT’LL BE ON THE SAME
BALLOT AS PRESIDENT BIDEN AND
FORMER TRUMP ELIZABETH SCHULZE
IS AT THE WHITE HOUSE COVERING
THAT FOR.
US.
YOU KNOW, THE LAST TIME THERE
WAS AN ABORTION BALLOT
IN FLORIDA, PRESIDENT OBAMA,
THE STATE.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS YEAR’S
ABORTION BALLOT WILL IMPACT
BIDEN?
>> WELL, LOOK HERE.
NO DOUBT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN
HOPES THAT IT CAN SEE THIS AS A
WAY TO VICTORY IN FLORIDA.
WE’VE SEEN THE CAMPAIGN SAY
THAT EVERY TIME THAT ABORTION
HAS BEEN ON THE BALLOT SINCE,
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE.
AND EVERY STATE WHERE ABORTION
HAS BEEN PUT TO THE VOTERS,
THE ABORTION RIGHTS POSITION
HAS WON, AND THAT INCLUDES
IN CONSERVATIVE STATES.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT STATES LIKE
KANSAS, KENTUCKY AND OHIO SO
THE CAMPAIGN SEES THIS AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MOBILIZE TURNOUT
,SEES IT AS A WAY TO GET
VOTERS OUT ON AN ISSUE
THAT THEY SAY IS IMPORTANT TO.
THEM.
WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR, VICE
PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS REALLY
BEEN THE MESSENGER ON THIS
ISSUE OF ABORTION.
SHE’S BEEN FRONT AND CENTER.
BUT TODAY PRESIDENT BIDEN
TAKING IT HEAD ON AND NOTABLY
IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WHERE
WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT SIX
WEEK BAN GO INTO EFFECT
IN ABOUT A WEEK.
AND WE’RE FORMER PRESIDENT IS
A VOTER, KYRA.
SO THEN YOU HAVE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO’S
A FLORIDA VOTER, WHAT’S
HIS STRATEGY?
RIGHT.
WELL, SO AND THE QUESTION IS,
WHERE’S HE GOING TO COME DOWN?
BECAUSE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
SAID RECENTLY THIS IS UP TO THE
STATES.
WE KNOW THAT HIS POSITION
ON ABORTION HAS CONTINUED
CHANGE.
IN THE SAME BREATH THAT HE SAYS
IT’S UP TO THE STATES.
HE TAKES FOR POINTING FOR
NOMINATING THREE OF THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT, WHO EVENTUALLY
OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE.
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IN AN
INTERVIEW LAST YEAR, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT SAID THAT THIS
SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN, THIS
STRICT BAN THAT IS SET TO GO
INTO EFFECT IN FLORIDA
IS TERRIBLE, THAT IT GOES TOO
FAR.
HE HASN’T REALLY WEIGHED ON HOW
HE HIMSELF WOULD VOTE ON
A BALLOT INITIATIVE.
AND IT REALLY TO THAT CORE
ISSUE FOR THE FORMER
PRESIDENT AS HE UNDERSTANDS
THAT THE PUBLIC THAT A LOT
OF VOTERS THINK THAT THESE
STRICT LAWS DO GO TOO FAR.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO ALIENATE
THOSE VOTERS, BUT HE ALSO WANTS
,TO TAKE CREDIT, CONTINUE
TO GALVANIZE HIS BASE, WHO HE
HE KNOWS THAT THEY APPRECIATE
THAT HE CONTINUES TO TAKE
CREDIT FOR APPOINTING THOSE
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES KYRA.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE’LL TRACK HIS TRIP
ELIZABETH SCHULZE AT THE WHITE
HOUSE FOR US.
>> THANK YOU.
SO COMING UP, TENSIONS
ESCALATING OVER THE ISRAELI
ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR.
>> THOSE PROTESTS CONTINUING
ACROSS CAMPUSES ALL ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
WE’RE NOW SEEING ARRESTS,
SUSPENSIONS AND AN INCREASE
IN SECURITY.
I’LL TAKE YOU AROUND
THE COUNTRY NEXT.

PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR
EDWARD MURROW AWARDS AND SEE
WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT
A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING
TO.
YOU START HERE.
ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY
FIRST LISTEN.
>> NOW, THAT’S A PART OF THE
STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE
COMING.
>> WHEREVER YOU GET
YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE.
SO PROTESTS HAVE BEEN ERUPTING
ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
NOW, DOZENS OF ARRESTS
HAVE ALSO BEEN MADE AT SOME
OF THE NATION’S MOST
PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES, LIKE
COLUMBIA, CALTECH NYU, AT MIT
AND YALE.
AND WE’VE BEEN WATCHING THE
TENSIONS ESCALATE OVER
THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR AND POLICE
IN RIOT GEAR.
WE’VE BEEN BROUGHT IN TO BREAK
UP THE CROWDS, ARRESTING
HUNDREDS OF PROTESTERS OVER
THE LAST FEW DAYS.
DESPITE POLICE EFFORTS, THOUGH,
THOSE PROTESTS TO GROW
AND SPREAD.
COLUMBIA NOW ANNOUNCING
THAT THEY ARE MOVING TO HYBRID
LEARNING FOR THE REST OF THE
SEMESTER.
WHILE SOME PROTESTERS ENGAGED
IN A STANDOFF WITH AUTHORITIES
FALLING IN ORDER TO EVACUATE.
BUT IT’S NOT JUST THE STUDENTS
AT COLUMBIA.
PROFESSORS ALSO TURNING OUT FOR
THESE PROTESTS, INCLUDING
JEWISH PROFESSOR ALEX.
>> HERE’S WHAT HE TOLD
OUR STEPHANIE RAMOS.
I DON’T KNOW.
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME
IS GOING TO BE, BUT I KNOW
THAT THESE STUDENTS
ARE INCREDIBLY BRAVE TO BE
DEMANDING THAT THEIR
ADMINISTRATION, WHAT THEY
ARE PAYING A VERY LARGE AMOUNT
OF MONEY, DIVEST FROM ISRAEL.
SO WHAT I KNOW IS THAT
IT’S ONLY LIKELY CAPABLE OF.
>> LET’S BRING IN OUR
IKE EJIOCHI IS FOLLOWING
THE STORY US.
SO WHERE DO THINGS STAND RIGHT
NOW?
WELL, KIRAN, WHAT WE’RE SEEING
RIGHT NOW IS ESSENTIALLY
A SWELL IN THE ACTION.
WHAT DO I MEAN?
WE’RE TO SEE IN AT LEAST
EIGHT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY STARTING
TO SEE THESE TENTS, THESE
APARTMENTS ON THE GROUND OF THE
UNIVERSITIES.
AND TAKE A LOOK, JUST IN THE
BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK, WE’RE
STARTING TO SEE HOW THAT IS.
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, OVER
A HUNDRED ARRESTS AFTER THOSE
INDIVIDUALS THERE ESSENTIALLY
REFUSED TO LISTEN TO POLICE
ORDERS TO DISPERSE THEMSELVES
FROM THAT CAMPUS.
TAKE A LOOK AT YALE, JUST UP
I-95.
47 PROTESTERS THERE WERE GIVING
SUMMONS BECAUSE OF THEIR
ENCAMPMENT ON THAT UNIVERSITY.
AND OF COURSE, IN NYU, WE SAW
JUST A CLASH BETWEEN THE NYPD
AND OBVIOUSLY THE PROTESTERS
THAT MADE THEIR WAY IN FRONT
OF THE BUSINESS SCHOOL.
150 PEOPLE ARRESTED FROM
THAT PROTEST.
NOT TO MENTION THAT THE TENT
ENCAMPMENT THAT WE’RE SEEING
ON THAT CAMPUS, THIS
IS HAPPENING AT SEVERAL
CAMPUSES, KYRA, FROM
THE UNIVERSITY, MICHIGAN
AMHERST, THAT WE’RE SEEING THIS
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
>> AND WHAT REALLY IS, AGAIN,
IS THE BACKLASH OR THE RESPONSE
THAT WE’RE STARTING TO SEE FROM
THESE UNIVERSITIES IN ORDER
TO QUELL THESE, KYRA.
>> I’M SEEING, TOO, THIS
IS COMING ACROSS OUR OUR
E-MAIL, IKE, I, I WONDER IF
YOU’VE SEEN THIS, THAT MAYOR
ADAMS THERE IN NEW YORK OUT
SAYING THAT THE PROTESTS
HAVE TURNED VIOLENT, ARE MOSTLY
INVOLVING PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
AFFILIATED WITH ANY CAUSE
AND OR NOT EVEN COLLEGE
STUDENTS.
HE SAYS WE’VE IDENTIFIED
INDIVIDUALS WHO ATTEND
THE SCHOOLS WHO ARE ON THESE
CAMPUSES.
SO THE INTERESTING JUST TO SEE
HOW SECURITY BOTH ON AND OFF
CAMPUS MAY DIFFER.
DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
BECAUSE WE KNOW COLUMBIA
IS FIRST COLLEGE TO ACTUALLY
GO REMOTE BECAUSE OF THESE
PROTESTS, CONCERNS
ABOUT SAFETY.
SO DO YOU THINK OTHER
INSTITUTIONS WILL FOLLOW SUIT?
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE
TRYING TO SEE RIGHT NOW.
COLUMBIA ADDING 111,
A DIFFERENT PERSONNEL THAT WILL
BE GOING THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS.
NOW, THEY’RE EVEN TRYING SET UP
WHAT THEY’RE CALLING A SAFE
CORRIDOR FOR STUDENTS.
SO CAN MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH
THE CAMPUS SAFELY.
BUT AGAIN, THAT THAT INCIDENT
THAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW
HIGHLIGHTED AT NYU, THAT’S
WHERE WE’RE SEEING VIOLENCE.
THE NYPD RELEASED AN EDITED
VIDEO THAT ESSENTIALLY
WHAT SOME OF THEIR OFFICERS
WERE GOING THROUGH.
WE SEE A HELMET THAT WAS
DAMAGED BY AN OFFICER WHO
ACTUALLY TOOK A BLOW TO THE
HEAD FROM A CHAIR.
THERE’S ONE PART IN THAT VIDEO
WILL RECEIVE A BOTTLE
BEING THROWN AT OFFICERS DURING
THAT CLASH LAST NIGHT.
SO IT’S ONLY VULNERABLE TO SEE
IF ESSENTIALLY THIS HYBRID
LEARNING OR ANY OF THESE ISSUES
WILL BE LONG TERM.
WE KNOW GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL
CAME TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY,
SPOKE TO THEM, SAYING THAT THEY
NEED CONVERSATION NOT
ISOLATION.
>> SO THAT’S SOMETHING WE
YOU HAVE TO SEE MOVING FORWARD,
KYRA.
ALL RIGHT.
I APPRECIATE IT.
THANKS SO MUCH.
POLICE OREGON ALSO SAY THAT A
SUSPECT HAS BEEN ARRESTED AFTER
VIDEO CAPTURED WHAT APPEARS
TO BE A KIDNAPPING.
A SLIGHT WARNING TO VIEWERS
THAT YOU MIGHT FIND THIS VIDEO
DISTURBING.
IT’S THE HOME SECURITY CAMERA
THAT ACTUALLY CAPTURED THIS
HORRIFYING MOMENT WHERE YOU SEE
THAT WOMAN RIGHT THERE ATTACKED
AT THE FRONT DOOR AND THEN
SHE’S WHISKED AWAY AGAINST
HER WILL.
FORTUNATELY, THE VICTIM WAS
FOUND SAFE AND THAT SUSPECT NOW
IN CUSTODY.
BUT POLICE ARE NOTING THAT THIS
WAS NOT A RANDOM.
LET’S BRING IN OUR MELISSA
DAN WHO’S BEEN TRACKING IT.
WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW?
>> WELL, KYRA, LOOK, SO FAR,
THE LATEST INFORMATION WE GOT
FROM POLICE IS ESSENTIALLY THIS
IS LOOKING LIKE A DOMESTIC
DISPUTE.
SO FAR.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SUSPECT
AND VICTIM KNEW EACH OTHER,
NOTING THAT THIS WAS NOT
A RANDOM ATTACK.
SO WE’RE LOOKING INTO THEIR TO
SEE WHAT INVESTIGATORS
WILL FIND OUT THERE,
HIGHLIGHTING THAT AT THIS
POINT, THERE IS NO DANGER,
THE PUBLIC.
POLICE SAY AFTER THEY FOUND OUT
WHO WAS INVOLVED THEY WERE ABLE
TO ARREST THE SUSPECT AND THAT
VICTIM WAS FOUND SAFE.
OF COURSE, ALL OF THIS
HAPPENING ON SUNDAY AND THEN
THIS MORNING, THAT’S WHEN WE
GOT THOSE LATEST UPDATES
THAT THAT SUSPECT IS NOW FACING
A CHARGE.
BUT POLICE SAY AT THIS POINT
THEY’RE NOT RELEASING NAMES
OF THAT SUSPECT OR VICTIM.
BUT AGAIN, KYRA, THERE THAT THE
VICTIM NOW IS SAFE.
>> YEAH, DEFINITELY AND SO
POLICE SAY THAT THERE THERE
IS NO DANGER TO THE RIGHT NOW
THEN, CORRECT.
>> THEY’RE SAYING THERE
IS DANGER TO THE PUBLIC.
AND LOOK HERE, OF COURSE,
PRETTY TERRIFYING EVENT,
RIGHT IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS IS A HILLSBORO COMMUNITY
WOULD BE PRETTY ALARMED TO SEE
SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN.
SO WHAT’S INTERESTING HERE
ARE ABC AFFILIATE PORTLAND.
YOU SEE THIS VIDEO ON OUR
SCREEN.
THEY ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH THE
WOMAN WHOSE DOORBELL CAMERA
CAPTURED THIS SCARY MOMENT.
I MEAN, IMAGINE IF THIS
HAPPENED TO YOU AND THIS
IS WHAT APPEARS ON YOUR
DOORSTEP.
WELL SHE SAYS SHE DID NOT HEAR
THE VICTIM SCREAMS OUTSIDE
OF HER DOOR, BUT HEARD
KNOCKING.
>> AND THEN THAT’S WHEN SHE SAW
THIS VIDEO.
SHE TOLD US, THE VICTIM LOOKED
AND SOUNDED SCARED, OF COURSE.
AND SHE COULD TELL REALLY WAS
A FRANTIC MOMENT, WHICH IS WHAT
LED HER IMMEDIATELY TO CALL
911.
SO, KYRA, SO IMPORTANT THERE.
AGAIN, NOT HAPPENING SUNDAY.
IMMEDIATELY, THIS WOMAN,
MAYOR RUSSELL, TAKING ACTION
CALLING 911 AFTER SHE SAW
WHAT PLAYED OUT AT HER FRONT
DOOR.
>> AND THEN THAT LED POLICE
THERE IN OREGON TO ESSENTIALLY
FIGURE OUT WHO IS THIS SUSPECT,
WHO’S THIS VICTIM
WHO WAS INVOLVED.
>> AND, OF COURSE, NOW KIND
OF COMING TO A CONCLUSION
THAT THEY WERE FOUND
THAT SUSPECT FACING THOSE
CHARGES.
AND WE’LL SEE LATER AS THIS
STORY DEVELOPS WITH POLICE
WHAT THE SITUATION WAS THAT LED
UP TO THIS SCARY MOMENT KYRA.
YEAH, LOOKING LIKE POSSIBLY
A DOMESTIC DOMESTIC DISPUTE.
WE’LL TRACK IT.
MELISSA, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.

DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR,
THE MULTIMILLION AND DOLLAR
SETTLEMENT JUST ANNOUNCED
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.
I’M KYRA PHILLIPS.
AND I’M TERRY MORAN.
AND OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR,
THE FIRST DAY OF TESTIMONY
IN THE HISTORIC CRIMINAL TRIAL
,FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP.
IT’S NOW WRAPPED UP.
TRUMP AGAIN PUSHED THE LIMIT
OF THE GAG ORDER THAT’S BEEN
IMPOSED ON HIM BY THE JUDGE.
HE LASHED OUT AT JUDGE
JUAN MERCHAN AS HE LEFT THE
COURT.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT FACES
CHARGES OF MAKING HUSH MONEY
PAYMENTS TO ADULT FILM ACTRESS
STORMY DANIELS FOR THE PURPOSE
OF DECEIVING VOTERS IN THE 2016
ELECTION.
THAT’S THE PROSECUTION’S CHARGE
.
>> WELL, THAT JURY HEARING
TESTIMONY TODAY FROM FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
DAVID PECKER, WHO PROSECUTORS
SAY WAS THE EYES AND EARS.
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN TOOK PART
IN THIS SCHEME TO BUY AND BURY
OTHERS UNFLATTERING STORIES
ABOUT HIS GOOD FRIEND DONALD
TRUMP.
BECAUSE TESTIMONY FOLLOWS
THE COMBATIVE HEARING ABOUT THE
GAG ORDER THAT WAS IMPOSED
ON AS WELL, WHERE
JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN REPEATEDLY
ADMONISHED ATTORNEYS SAYING
THAT THEY WEREN’T ANSWERING
QUESTIONS AND THAT A LACK
EVIDENCE IS CAUSING THEM
TO LOSE CREDIBILITY WITH THE
COURT.
>> BUT PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT.
NOW, THOSE CLAIMS THAT HE
VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER
11 TIMES.
>> SO LET’S GO TO OUR SENIOR
INVESTING CORRESPONDENT,
AARON KATERSKY.
HE’S OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE
IN NEW YORK ALONG
ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR
BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
>> SO, ERIN, COURT WRAPPED UP
FOR THE DAY, THE PASSOVER
HOLIDAY WITH AN ABBREVIATED DAY
TODAY.
YOU WERE INSIDE THE COURTROOM.
TELL US WHAT IT WAS LIKE
IN PARTICULAR.
YOU KNOW HOW DAVID PACKER’S
TESTIMONY WENT FOR PROCESS FOR
THE PROSECUTION.
THIS WAS THE JURY GETTING
INTRODUCED, TERRY, TO CATCH
AND KILL SCHEME
THAT PROSECUTORS SAY WAS MEANT
TO KEEP VOTERS IN THE DARK
ABOUT ANY UNFLATTERING STORIES
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP BEFORE
THE 2016 VOTE.
DAVID PECKER WALKED UP TO THE
WITNESS RESUME, HIS CHAIR.
HE WAS ASKED TO POINT OUT
THE DEFENDANT IN COURT POINTED
RIGHT AT HIM WITH A BIG SMILE
ON HIS FACE, AND TRUMP RETURNED
KIND OF A CLOSED MOUTHED GRIN.
AND THESE ARE TWO MEN WHO ONCE
WERE CLOSE FRIENDS, PACKER
SAID.
AND HE AGREED.
AT A MEETING IN TRUMP TOWER
IN 2015 TO BE THE EYES AND EARS
OF THE CAMPAIGN AND THE JURY
STARTED TO HEAR WHAT THAT
ENTAILED WHEN A DOORMAN CAME
CALLING WITH A STORY ABOUT A
AND ILLEGITIMATE LOVECHILD
OF TRUMP, WHICH TURNED OUT NOT
TO BE TRUE.
THERE WAS THERE WAS
DAVID PECKER TO BUY IT AND BURY
IT.
AND WHEN KAREN MCDOUGAL STARTED
SHOPPING, A STORY ABOUT A
ONE YEAR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP
WITH DONALD TRUMP, WHICH SHE
ALSO DENIES, THERE WAS
DAVID PECKER TO ADVISE
TRUMP AND MICHAEL COHEN.
I THINK WE SHOULD IT AND THEN
BURY IT.
AND THAT’S WHERE THE JURY HAS
LEFT OFF FOR THE DAY.
>> SO, BRIAN, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT CAME OUT COMPLAINING
ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THIS GAG ORDER
THAT WAS PLACED ON HIM, SAYING
THAT IT’S UNKIND TO TO
SHOW IT’S JUST NOT FAIR.
>> LET’S TAKE A LISTEN.
>> I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF
YOU HAVE TO PUT A WORD.
YOU HAVE A GAG, WHICH TO ME
IS TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
I’M NOT ALLOWED TO TALK
WITH PEOPLE ABOUT ME SO
THEY CAN TALK ABOUT ME.
THEY CAN SAY WHATEVER THEY
WANT.
THEY CAN LIE.
BUT I’M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY
ANYTHING.
I JUST HAVE TO SIT BACK AND
LOOK AT THE BODY OF THE
CONFLICT.
AND IT’S ORDER TO ME TO HAVE
A GAG.
I DON’T THINK ANYBODY’S EVER
SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THAT SEEMS TO BE SORT OF THE
STANDARD LINE.
I DON’T THINK ANYBODY’S EVER
SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, BUT I
THINK WE HAVE SEEN A LOT
OF THESE TYPES OF THINGS WHEN
IT COMES TO DONALD TRUMP.
HE KIND OF REPEATS SAME THINGS
OVER AND OVER.
BUT BOTTOM LINE, IT’S NOT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
JUST LAY OUT EXACTLY WHY
THE JUDGE DID THIS AND WHY
TRUMP KEEPS VIOLATING THE GAG
ORDER.
>> WELL, THE JUDGE A GAG ORDER,
I BELIEVE, ON APRIL 1ST OF THIS
YEAR AND WENT TO ARGUMENTS FROM
BOTH SIDES AND SOME OF THE
ARGUMENTS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
REITERATING THERE WERE
ADDRESSED.
AND EVEN TO THIS DAY WERE
ADDRESSED.
WHEN HE COMES OUT AND SAYS
THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED
TO SAY THINGS ABOUT HIM AND HE
CAN KIND OF PUNCH BACK, SO
TO SPEAK.
THE JUDGE ASKED HIS ATTORNEYS
AND SAID, OKAY, SHOW ME THOSE
COMMENTS.
SHOW ME THE COMMENTS THAT HE
IS RESPONDING TO THAT.
YOU SAY THIS IS POLITICAL
SPEECH AND DEFENDING HIMSELF
AND.
>> HIS DEFENSE WAS NOT ABLE
TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION
EVEN IN THE THE ORDER OF THE
THE GAG ORDER.
THE JUDGE OUTLINES THAT SOME
OF THE PUSHBACK AND THIS KIND
OF TURNING THE TABLES AGAINST
HIS OPPONENTS AND TRYING
TO PUSH BACK ON THEIR RHETORIC
AGAIN FELL FLAT WHEN.
>> THEY WHEN THEY MADE
THAT ARGUMENT IN COURT.
AND SO THAT’S JUST WHOLLY
UNTRUE.
HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT HE
WANTS TO KIND OF PUT THESE OUT
THERE FOR PEOPLE TO SEE.
AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A BIT
OF A MISSTEP FROM A LEGAL
STANDPOINT.
I THINK THIS IS MORE OF A
CAMPAIGN ISSUE FOR HIM WHEN
HE GOES OUT THERE AND SPEAKS
TO THE PRESS.
BUT IN TERMS OF A LEGAL STANCE,
HIM ADMITTING HE’S PUTTING OUT
ARTICLES AND THAT HE SEES THOSE
NAMES IN THEM IS, DEVASTATING
TO THE IDEA THAT THIS COULD
BE A VIOLATION OF THAT ORDER
TO GET THAT GAG ORDER.
ALL RIGHT, BRIAN BUCKMIRE
AARON KATERSKY, THANKS VERY
MUCH.
AND WE WANT TURN NOW TO THE
PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES,
THE CURRENT PRESIDENT.
TAMPA, FLORIDA, PRESIDENT BIDEN
IS DELIVERING A SPEECH
ABOUT ABORTION RIGHTS
IN FLORIDA THAT SWING STATE
JUST AHEAD OF THAT STATE,
SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN TAKING
EFFECT.
>> HERE’S JOE BIDEN.
>> CURRENTLY USING SURVEILLANCE
,U.S. SECURITY FOR NO REASON
TO DO, YOU KNOW, SHARE
YOUR STORE.
THAT’S NOT AN EASY TO DO.
>> NOW, KAGAN REPRESENTS
MILLIONS OF WOMEN ARE ENDURING
UNBEARABLE PAIN AND CRUELTY
BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP.
SADLY, IT’S PAIN AND CRUELTY
THAT MILLIONS OF WOMEN
IN FLORIDA NOW FACE.
YOU KNOW, BUT AS I SAID, AS SHE
JUST SAID, IT’S NOT INEVITABLE.
IT’S NOT INEVITABLE.
WE CAN STOP IT WHEN YOU VOTE.
>> WE CAN STOP BANKS
REPRESENTING CASTOR CASHMERE
CAT IS DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB
IN CONGRESS.
AND I AND A GREAT, GREAT FRIEND
.
THANKS FOR WRITING REVENUE FROM
THE AIRPORT.
YOU KNOW, THE WORSE THING
YOU FLY THESE DAYS IS THE
PRESIDENT’S AT THE AIRPORT
BECAUSE YOU GOT TO SHOW UP,
YOU KNOW.
ANYWAY, THANK YOU.
AND I WANT THANK OUR NEXT U.S.
SENATOR DEAD.
>> STAND UP AS ONE AS ONE
SENIOR SENATOR.
YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS A FRESHMAN
RUNNING FOR REELECTION IN,
THE UNITED STATES SENATE
SUDDENLY SAID, I’LL CAMPAIGN
FOR YOU AGAINST.
>> YOU EVER HELP THE MOST.
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT YOU WIN.
THIS IS A CRITICAL, CRITICAL
WIN.
DEBBIE’S RUNNING AGAINST RICK,
WHO WANTS TO SUNSET SOCIAL
SECURITY.
I THINK THE VOTERS ARE GOING
TO SENSE THAT RICK SCOTT.
IT’S IMPORTANT, MAN.
AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU TODAY,
IT’S GOOD TO BE AT A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
NOW, THE FACT MY WIFE WAS
CAMPAIGNING ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY AND WE WERE BETWEEN
CLASSES.
MY STILL THE FULL TIME
PROFESSOR AT NORTHERN VIRGINIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
YOU LOST YOUR PHONE.
GET THAT MAN IS FROM.
HE’S GOING TO BE IN TROUBLE.
>> SHE’S TAKING THIS VERY DAY.
JOE IS COMMUNITY, AS SHE OFTEN
SAYS, AND ONE OF THE BEST KEPT
SECRETS IN NOT HER NAME.
YOU KNOW, BY MY WAY, IN THE
NEXT FOUR YEARS, I’M GOING
TO MAKE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FREE
NOW, GROW ECONOMY.
IT WON’T COST THE TAXPAYER.
>> NEXT WEEK, ONE OF
THE NATION’S MOST EXTREME
ABORTIONS LAW WILL TAKE EFFECT
HERE IN FLORIDA.
>> IT’S CRIMINALIZING HEALTH
CARE FOR BEFORE WOMEN EVEN KNOW
WHETHER THEY’RE PREGNANT.
>> I MEAN, THIS IS BIZARRE.
I CAN PUT IT YOU CAN A DOCTOR
IN PRISON IF HE TAKES CARE OF A
PATIENT.
>> YOU JUST HEARD SOME VERSION
OF LOUISIANA.
YOU KNOW, THIS EXTREME FLORIDA
LAW IS GOING TO AFFECT
4 MILLION, 4 MILLION WOMEN
IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
>> FLORIDA, ONE OF 21 STATES
IN AMERICA WHERE AMERICANS GET
ACCESS TO NEED FOR CARE.
>> THIS ADDS UP TO.
ONE IN THREE WOMEN THROUGHOUT
THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA HAVE THIS LIMITATION.
>> FOR 50 YEARS, THE COURT
RULED THAT THERE WAS
A FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT TO PRIVACY.
>> BUT TWO YEARS AGO, THAT WAS
TAKEN AWAY.
LET’S BE REAL CLEAR.
THERE’S ONE PERSON TO THIS
NIGHTMARE AND HE’S ACKNOWLEDGE
AND HE BRAGS ABOUT IT.
DONALD TRUMP.
IN FACT, TRUMP BRAGGED
ABOUT HIS OVERTURNING
ROE V. WADE, WHICH MEANT
THERE’S NO FEDERAL RIGHT, NO
DECISION CAN BE MADE.
ALL THOSE DECISIONS MADE AT THE
STATE LEVEL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T EVEN KNOW
THAT AND DON’T FOCUS ON IT.
SO EVERY STATE CAN MAKE
A DECISION.
WELL, YOU KNOW, NOW TRUMP SAYS
THE LAW IS, QUOTE, WORKING
THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO.
>> TRUMP GOES ON TO SAY,
INDIVIDUAL STATE LAWS
ARE WORKING HIS WORDS
BRILLIANTLY BRILLIANTLY.
IT’S A SIX WEEK BAN IN FLORIDA.
IT’S REALLY BRILLIANT.
AND IT MAY BE FOR WOMEN, NO,
THEY’RE PREGNANT.
IS THAT BRILLIANT?
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT ARIZONA.
THAT COMES ALL THE WAY
BACK TO 1864 BEFORE ARIZONA
DEVASTATED, WHERE WOMEN HAD
THE RIGHT TO VOTE, CONCLUDING
THAT THAT’S THE LAW OF THE LAND
IN ARIZONA.
>> AND TODAY REPUBLICANS REFUSE
TO REPEAL THAT BAN IN ARIZONA.
TRUMP IS LITERALLY TAKING
US BACK 160 YEARS.
HE SAYS IT’S UP TO THE
STATES AND THIS IS ALL
ABOUT STATES RIGHTS.
>> BUT HE’S WRONG.
THE SUPREME COURT WAS WRONG.
IT SHOULD BE A CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT IN THE FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION.
THAT’S RIGHT.
AND IT SHOULDN’T MATTER WHERE
IN AMERICA.
AND THEN IT’S ABOUT YOU SAYING
ABOUT STATES RIGHTS,
ABOUT WOMEN’S RIGHTS OR I MEAN,
IT’S HARD FOR FOLKS LIKE NOW
HE’S WORRIED THE VOTERS
WILL HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR
SAYING HE’S RESPONSIBLE GETTING
ROE V. WADE OVERTURNED.
DONALD TRUMP IS WORRIED VOTERS
ARE GOING TO HOLD HIM
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE CRUELTY
AND CHAOS HE CREATED.
>> FOLKS, THE BAD NEWS FOR
TRUMP IS WE ARE GOING TO HOLD
HIM ACCOUNTABLE.
WE ARE.
HE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
HE SHOULD ACCOUNTABLE FOR
STATES ENACTING EXTREME LAWS
AND PUT IVF TREATMENTS AT FOR
WOMEN DESPERATELY TRYING
TO HAVE FAMILIES.
VOTERS ARE GOING TO HOLD
TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE.
>> WHAT THEY TURNED AWAY FROM
MERGER LIKE PRODUCER WAS FORCED
TO TRAVEL HUNDREDS OF MILES
TO GET BASIC HEALTH CARE,
FORCED TO GO TO COURT TO PLEAD
FOR HELP TO PROTECT HERSELF
AND HER ABILITY TO HAVE
CHILDREN IN THE FUTURE.
>> BUT VOTERS GOING TO HOLD
TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE.
>> WANT WHEN WOMEN ARE TOLD
BY EXTREME POLITICIANS
AND JUDGES, WAIT, GETS SICKER
AND SICKER TO THE POINT WHERE
YOUR LIFE IS DETERMINED TO BE
IN DANGER.
PREGNANT WOMEN IN AMERICA
ARE RISK AT RISK, PARTICULARLY
BLACK WOMEN IN AMERICA KNOW
THAT’S THE STATISTIC.
DATA SHOWS ARE ALREADY LIKELY
TO DIE FROM COMPLICATIONS
AT BIRTH.
I BELIEVE ARE GOING TO HOLD
TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE.
>> ONE FAMILY MEMBERS
AND DOCTORS ARE WITH
PROSECUTION FOR TRYING TO HELP
HIM.
>> NOT ONLY THAT, I BELIEVE
WHAT IS GOING TO HOLD
TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE.
MAGNUS EXTREME IS TRYING
TO PREVENT ALL WOMEN IN AMERICA
FROM GETTING SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
MEDICATION LIKE NATURAL PRESS
DOWN APPROVED BY THE FDA
20 YEARS AGO, AND ARE TRYING
TO OUTLAW THAT NOW FOR 50 YEARS
,THE COURT WOULD RECOGNIZE
THAT WOMEN IN AMERICA HAD
A FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTION,
RIGHT?
AND THEN TRUMP TOOK IT AWAY.
BY THE WAY, THE DAILY MAIL NOW
,AMERICA TODAY, IN 2024, WOMEN
HAVE FEWER RIGHTS THAN
THEIR MOTHERS AND THEIR
GRANDMOTHERS HAVE BECAUSE
OF DONALD TRUMP.
I DON’T THINK WE’RE GOING
TO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.
YOU FOLKS IN THE STATES, I KNOW
WHY YOU WERE SURPRISED
BY TRUMP.
HOW MANY TIMES WE HAD TO PROVE
WE CAN’T BE TRUSTED.
TRUMP BRAGGED HOW PROUD HE WAS
TO RID OF ROE V WADE.
HE TOOK CREDIT FOR IT.
HE SAID THERE HAS BE PUNISHMENT
FOR WOMEN EXERCISING
THE REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM.
>> HIS WORDS, NOT MINE.
HE DESCRIBED THE DECISION
AS AMERICA, NEIGHBORS COMING
FROM THAT.
HE’S TRYING TO SELL.
WELL, I WAS GOING TO BUY ONE.
JUST SEE WHAT THE IS IN IT,
FOLKS.
IT WAS NOT AMERICA.
IT WAS A POLITICAL DEAL TO
GET RID OF THE IDEAL POLITICAL
DEAL HE MADE WITH THE
EVANGELICAL BASE OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY TO LOOK PAST
HIS MORAL CHARACTER.
>> THEY LOOK HIS MORAL
AND CHARACTER FLAWS IN EXCHANGE
FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO APPOINT
JUSTICES SUPREME COURT
WHO WOULD OVERTURN ROE.
DON’T THINK HE’S MAKING A DEAL
RIGHT NOW WITH MAGA EXTREMISTS
TO BAN NATIONWIDE ABORTION
IN EVERY SINGLE STATE BECAUSE
HE’S MAKING IT.
IN FACT, THE MAGA MAJORITY
IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
SENATORS SEPARATE BUT BANNED
THREE SEPARATE BAN TOO SHORT TO
BAN CHOICE NATIONWIDE IN EVERY
SINGLE STATE BASED ON THE STATE
EACH STATE.
>> THESE BILLS OVERWHELMINGLY
HAVE OVERWHELMING SUPPORT.
REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS.
BUT KNOW THIS AS LONG AS I
HAVE THE POWER OF THE
PRESIDENCY IS NEVER GOING
TO HAPPEN, I NEED CONGRESS EVER
.
IF CONGRESS EVER PASSES
THE BAN, I WILL VETO THAT BAN.
LET THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS
COME ALONG AND I WILL MAKE
ROE V. WADE THE LAW OF THE LAND
AGAIN.
LET’S BE CLEAR THE OVERTURNING
ROE V. WADE ALSO POSES A RISK.
>> BROADER RIGHTS OF PRIVACY
FOR EVERYONE.
IT IS BIG EXAGGERATED.
HERE’S WHAT JUSTICE ROE,
THE CURRENT CONCURRING OPINION
IN ROE V WADE.
HE WROTE THAT THE FUTURE CASES
OF THE COURT SHOULD RECONSIDER
ALL SUBSTANTIVE DUE PROCESS
PRECEDENTS FROM GRISWALD
GRISWOLD LEGALIZED THE USE
OF CONTRACEPTION OVER AND OVER
FROM LEGALIZED SAME SEX
MARRIAGE.
JUSTICE MEANS IT, AND SO DOES
DONALD TRUMP.
AGAIN, HERE’S THAT MEANS.
THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE BEST
DECISIONS FOR YOUR HEALTH,
THE RIGHT TO USE, BIRTH
CONTROL, THE RIGHT TO MARRY
THE PERSON YOU LOVE.
ALL THAT GENERATION NOW,
BECAUSE IT’S NO LONGER VIEWED
BY SOME OF OUR GOOD FRIENDS
IN THE COURT AS A
CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEED
RIGHT.
WE’RE GOING LET THAT HAPPEN.
I LOVE YOU, MAN.
WILL YOU COME WITH ME?
>> QUOTES FROM EXTREME LAWS
PASSED SINCE OVERTURNING
ROE V. WADE HAVE NO PLACE
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
.
BUT WHAT DOES HAVE A PLACE
IN AMERICA IS YOUR VOICE.
>> THIS DECISION TO ROE V WADE
AND SAYING STATES SHOULD MAKE
THE DECISION.
>> THE COURT PRACTICALLY DARED
WOMEN DEAD WOMEN TO BE HEARD.
HERE’S WHAT I WROTE IN
THAT DECISION.
>> WOMEN ARE NOT WITHOUT
ELECTORAL OR POLITICAL.
NO KIDDING.
NO KIDDING.
AND IT ALMOST CHALLENGES YOU.
I SAID AT THE TIME, I DON’T
THINK THE COURT OR
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE A CLUE
THE POWER OF WOMEN IN AMERICA.
I MEAN, I MEAN IT AT THE
BEGINNING TO FIND OUT THAT THE
GOD DECISION WOULD WHICH
STATES SAID SHOULD MAKE THESE
DECISIONS.
>> THE COURT SAID TO
THE STATES, YOU MAKE
THE DECISION.
STATES ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY
FROM OHIO KANSAS, MICHIGAN,
KENTUCKY, WISCONSIN, VIRGINIA.
WOMEN AND MEN IN EVERY
BACKGROUND VOTED TO RECORD
NUMBERS TO PROTECT
RECORD NUMBERS TO PROTECT
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM.
THIS NOVEMBER, YOU CAN
ADD FLORIDA TO THAT LIST.
ARE YOU READY TO DO THAT?
YOU GOT TO SHOW AND VOTE.
ALREADY READY TO CREATIVE IT
WAS DONALD TRUMP WHO RIPPED
AWAY THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM
OF WOMEN IN AMERICA.
AND WE ALL MUST RESTORE THOSE
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN IN AMERICA.
AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, WHO TAKES
DONALD TRUMP AND EXTREME MAGA
REPUBLICANS A VALUABLE LESSON.
>> MESS WITH THE GOVERNMENT
OF AMERICA.
>> I MEAN, FOLKS, LET’S
GET THIS DONE.
GO TO JOE BIDEN .COM SIGN UP,
GET INVOLVED.
I KNOW YOU ALL IN THIS ROOM
ARE INVOLVED.
TALK TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
.
ORGANIZE YOUR COMMUNITY,
REGISTER VOTERS, GET THEM OUT
TO VOTE OLD FASHIONED WAY, PICK
THEM UP LIKE THEY CALLED YOU.
YOU NEED A RIDE TO THE POLLS.
>> AND LET’S REMEMBER WHO WE
ARE.
WE’RE THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
AND THERE’S NOTHING, NOTHING
BEYOND OUR CAPACITY IF WE WORK
TOGETHER.
ALL RIGHT.
GOD BLESS ALL.
MAY GOD PROTECT OUR TROOPS.
THANK YOU.
YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK.
WANT TO GET THIS DONE?
LOVE YOU.
LET’S GET IT DONE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
GOD.
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
AND RESTORING IS DEFINITELY
BEEN A CENTERPIECE PLATFORM
ITEM THERE FOR PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN AS HE IS STILL HOPING
TO ON IN THE WHITE HOUSE COME
ELECTION DAY 20, 24.
THERE HE IS IN TAMPA, FLORIDA,
TALKING ABOUT ABORTION RIGHTS
JUST ONE WEEK AHEAD OF THE
STATE’S SIX-WEEK ABORTION BAN.
THAT WILL BE EFFECT.
OUR CHIEF WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, MARY BRUCE
IS ACTUALLY TRAVELING WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
SHE IS THERE ALSO OUR POLITICAL
DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER WAS
LISTENING AS WELL.
SO, MARY, NO SURPRISE THAT THIS
WAS THIS ISSUE WAS WE LOST
MARY.
SO, AVERY, GOING TO TAKE IT
TO YOU WHILE WE TRY TO GET
CONNECTED?
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS AT THESE
EVENTS.
YOU WELL KNOW.
YOU LOSE THE AUDIO.
IT’S REALLY LOUD BECAUSE
THE CLOCK.
EXACTLY.
YOU’RE TRYING TO GET BACK ON
THE AIR.
BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT BANS NOW,
A VOTING ISSUE IN BATTLEGROUND
STATES, THE COUNTRY,
AVERI HARPER.
AND SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WILL
DECIDE THE ELECTION?
I THINK IT’S DEFINITELY AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE.
AND THERE’S A REASON WHY
PRESIDENT BIDEN GAVE THESE
REMARKS IN TAMPA, FLORIDA.
FLORIDA IS A PLACE WHERE
THE SUPREME COURT OF THAT STATE
JUST RECENTLY MADE A DECISION
ALLOWING FOR A AN ABORTION
RELATED BALLOT INITIATIVE TO GO
ON THE BALLOT.
SO FLORIDIANS ARE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
THEY’RE GOING TO ENSHRINE
THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION IN THE
STATE’S CONSTITUTION.
THAT HAS CHANGED THE POLITICAL
DYNAMICS IN THAT STATE, SAYS
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN.
THEY BELIEVE THAT ABORTION CAN
BE A DRIVING ISSUE A MOBILIZING
FACTOR FOR VOTERS IN THAT STATE
TO COME OUT NOT ONLY TO VOTE IN
FAVOR OF ABORTION ACCESS,
BUT FOR DEMOCRATS AND FOR
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.
>> YOU KNOW, AND AVERY
OF FLORIDA WAS FOR A LONG TIME,
REALLY A TOSS UP STATE.
BILL CLINTON WON IT ONCE,
NARROWLY LOST IT ONCE.
BARACK OBAMA WON IT TWICE.
JIMMY CARTER WON IT.
IT’S A GETTABLE STATE.
WAS IT GETTABLE STATE?
AL GORE CAME WITHIN A WHISKER
AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS SEEM
TO GIVE UP ON IT OR FLORIDIANS
GAVE UP ON THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
AND SO I JUST WONDER, YOU KNOW,
GIVEN THE WHAT IS THE
BACKGROUND POLITICAL REALITY
IN THAT THIS ISSUE, THE THE
RIGHTS ISSUE COMES INTO IS IT
COULD IT BRING IT BACK INTO
THE DEMOCRATIC FOLD OR HAS
THE STATE TOO FAR AWAY FROM
THE PARTY?
WELL, I THINK IT’S STILL AN
UPHILL BATTLE FOR
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FOR
DEMOCRATS WHO ARE GOING TO BE
RUNNING IN THAT STATE.
THERE IS ONLY ONE DEMOCRAT
WHO HOLDS STATEWIDE OFFICE
IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
AND SO IT’S NOT GOING TO BE
EASY BY ANY MEANS.
BUT WHEN YOU TALK TO FOLKS FROM
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, THEY THAT
THIS ISSUE SPECIFICALLY
AND THEIR ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT
WITH VOTERS OVER REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS THAT THAT MAKES
JOE BIDEN A MORE COMPETITIVE
CANDIDATE IN THE STATE
OF FLORIDA THIS TIME AROUND.
THAT REMAINS TO SEEN.
AGAIN, I THINK IT’S GOING
TO TAKE A LOT MORE THAN JUST
ABORTION.
BUT I THINK THEY’RE ALSO
LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OTHER
INITIATIVES THAT WE’VE SEEN
IN OTHER STATES, EVEN RUBY RED
STATES WHERE WE’VE ALWAYS
PRO-ABORTION EFFORTS
AND DEMOCRATS COME OUT
ON THE WINNING.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW WE’VE GOT CONNECT WITH OUR
MARY BRUCE, WHO’S THERE AT THE
EVENT, TRAVELING WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
MARY, I’M QUITE SURE HOW MUCH
YOU HAD A CHANCE TO HEAR
WHAT AVERY SAID.
I KNOW THERE’S A LOT ON THERE,
BUT LET ME JUST ASK YOU, WHEN
IT COMES TO THE POLLS, JUST
LOOKING AT THE CROWDS THERE
IN FLORIDA, YOUR THOUGHT ON ON
WHETHER THIS ISSUE IS SOMETHING
THAT BIDEN STILL COMMANDS,
HE’S IN CONTROL OF, AND IT’S
GOING BE HIS ISSUE COME
ELECTION DAY 20, 24.
>> WELL, LOOK HERE.
THEY CERTAINLY ARE HOPING
THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT ARE
GOING TO DRIVE VOTERS TO THE
POLLS COME NOVEMBER, EVEN IN A
STATE LIKE FLORIDA, WHERE,
YOU KNOW, DESPITE ALL OF
THE ODDS THAT THEY ARE FACING
IN A STATE LIKE THIS, THE STATE
THAT DONALD TRUMP WON, THEY DO
THINK THAT THEY STAND A CHANCE
LARGELY IN PART BECAUSE OF HOW
PIVOTAL AND HOW CRITICAL.
THING, THOUGH, JOHN, IS GOING
TO BE IN THE FALL.
AND THAT IS WHY YOU SEE
THE PRESIDENT OUT HERE
DELIVERING THIS MESSAGE.
THIS IS THE FIRST MAJOR
CAMPAIGN THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS
DONE CENTERED AROUND THIS ISSUE
SO FAR, LARGELY OUT THE TRAIL.
KAMALA HARRIS, THE VICE
PRESIDENT, HAS BEEN THE ONE
LEADING THE CHARGE ON THIS FOR
,THE CAMPAIGN.
BUT NOW THE PRESIDENT WELL
AWARE OF THE POLITICAL CLIMATE.
HERE YOU ARE NOW ONE WEEK OUT
FROM THE FLORIDA BAN TAKING
EFFECT.
THEY SEEM AT THIS MOMENT AS A
CRITICAL ONE AND ONE THAT
I WANT TO SEE.
AND THAT IS WHY YOU ARE NOW
THE CAMPAIGN AND NOW
THE PRESIDENT DIRECTLY OUT HERE
ON THE GROUND, THE ARGUMENT
AND IT IS ONE YOU ARE GOING
TO HEAR REPEATEDLY IN THE
COMING THE ARGUMENT THAT ALL
OF THESE NEW RESTRICTIONS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THEY SAY
ARE DONALD TRUMP’S FAULT,
THAT HE IS TO BLAME FOR THAT,
THAT THOSE THREE JUSTICES
ON THE SUPREME COURT THAT IS
BRAGGED ABOUT THEIR GOING
TO OVERTURN ROE, THEY ARE
TRYING TO TIE THESE
RESTRICTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
DIRECTLY.
THAT’S ALL I KNOW.
THEY CAN PUT THAT.
THEY ARE HOPING FRONT
AND CENTER VOTERS MINDS AS THEY
HEAD TO THE POLLS.
ALL RIGHT, MARY BRUCE
AVERI HARPER, THANK YOU BOTH.
STRAIGHT AHEAD, SHE’S ONE
WITH THE WATER, THE MAGICAL
MOMENT WHEN A CHAMPION SURFER
SHARED A WAVE WITH A POD
OF DOLPHINS.
>> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS.
WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION
AT WAR.
AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE
ATTACK BY HAMAS.
ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE.

AND OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR,
THE FIRST DAY OF TESTIMONY
IN THE TRIAL OF FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD NOW HAS
WRAPPED UP FOR THE DAY.
TRUMP AGAIN PUSHED THE LIMITS
OF THE GAG ORDER THAT HAS BEEN
IMPOSED ON HIM BY THE JUDGE,
LASHING OUT AT JUDGE
JUAN MERCHAN AS LEFT THE COURT
TODAY, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT FACES CHARGES
OF MAKING HUSH PAYMENTS
TO ADULT FILM ACTRESS STORMY
DANIELS IN ORDER TO KEEP AFFAIR
WITH HER FROM THE VOTERS.
A CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATION,
ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS.
TODAY, THE JURY HEARD TESTIMONY
FROM FORMER "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
PUBLISHER DAVID PECKER,
WHO PROSECUTORS SAY THE EYES
AND EARS OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
AND TOOK PART IN A SCHEME
TO BUY AND BURY UNFLATTERING
STORIES.
HIS GOOD FRIEND DONALD TRUMP,
TO KEEP THEM FROM VOTERS.
THAT’S THE KEY IN THE CRIMINAL
CASE HERE.
PEKAR’S TESTIMONY FOLLOWS
THE COMBATIVE HEARING ABOUT THE
GAG ORDER THAT WAS IMPOSED
ON TRUMP WITH JUDGE
JUAN MERCHAN REPEATEDLY
ADMONISHING TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS,
SAYING THEY WEREN’T ANSWERING
QUESTIONS, AND THAT A LACK
OF EVIDENCE IN THEIR ARGUMENT
WAS CAUSING THEM TO LOSE
CREDIBILITY WITH THE COURT.
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING
THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN
CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR VIOLATING
THAT GAG ORDER, AND THEY NOW UP
THE CLAIMS SAYING THAT HE
VIOLATED IT 11 TIMES NOW.
>> SO LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
OLIVIA RUBIN, ABC EXECUTIVE
EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN
SANTUCCI, AN ABC NEWS LITTLE
CONTRIBUTOR.
BRIAN BUCKMIRE.
OLIVIA, FIRST TO YOU.
YOU KNOW, TENSE SUBJECT,
OBVIOUSLY, THAT THE DEFENDANT
WANTS TO SPEAK, SPEAK ON BEHALF
OF HIMSELF AND HE’S RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT.
JUDGE DOESN’T WANT HIM TO.
AND THEN THERE WAS
THE TESTIMONY OF DAVID PECKER,
A CRUCIAL WITNESS FOR
THE PROSECUTION.
IT TELLS ABOUT HOW IT FELT
IN COURT TODAY, WHAT YOU
NOTICED ABOUT THE JURY.
>> YEAH, WELL, NOT A GREAT DAY
.
DONALD TRUMP, ON BOTH OF THOSE
FRONTS THAT YOU JUST POINTED
OUT.
THERE IS A GAG ORDER HEARING
THAT DID NOT GO WELL.
HIS ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHE, WAS
SCOLDED BY JUDGE MERCHAN.
AND THEN THERE WAS
THE TESTIMONY OF HIS LONGTIME
FRIEND, DAVID PECKER, WHO WENT
THROUGH HOW THEY MET
AND DISCUSSED IN AUGUST 2015
THE SCHEME THAT THEY WERE GOING
TO CARRY OUT AND THEN STARTED
WALKING THROUGH THE JURY
THE FIRST TIME THAT HE CAUGHT
AND KILLED.
A STORY ON OF DONALD TRUMP.
SO TRUMP SEEMED ACTUALLY QUITE
ENGAGED WITH THE TESTIMONY
TODAY, TERRY.
HE WAS HANGING ON A LOT OF THE
WORDS BY DAVID PACKER,
WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT THEIR
PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS,
THEIR PERSONAL PHONE CALLS,
TIMES THAT HE WAS IN DONALD
TRUMP’S OFFICE WATCHING HIM
SIGN CHECKS, TELLING THE JURY
ABOUT INTIMATE DETAILS OF THEIR
RELATIONSHIP.
AND HE SEEMED AT TIMES QUITE
GRIPPED BY THAT TESTIMONY,
WHICH IS A CONTRAST TO OTHER
DAYS WHERE DONALD TRUMP HAD
SEEMED ENTIRELY DISENGAGED
BY SOME OF THE MORE, YOU KNOW,
SLOW AND LEGAL PARTS OF THE
PROCEEDING, QUITE FRANKLY,
AREN’T AS INTERESTING.
AND THE JURORS, I WOULD ALSO
SAY, SEEMED QUITE ENGAGED
BY THE TESTIMONY AS WELL.
OUR REPORTER WHO WAS IN
THE COURTROOM TODAY WAS
DESCRIBING HOW THEY WERE
AT TIMES TAKING FURIOUS NOTES,
SCRIBBLING DOWN WHAT PECKER WAS
SAYING WHEN HE STARTED TALKING
ABOUT THE AUGUST 2015 MEETING
WHEN THEY HATCHED THIS SCHEME.
SO REALLY SORT OF A BANG OF
THE FIRST FULL DAY OF TESTIMONY
HERE WHERE JURORS REALLY GOT
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON AND
CLEARLY WERE CHEWING ON IT
AND TAKING NOTES.
>> AS YOU SAY, I’LL OF YOU,
THAT’S SOME SOME COURTS ALLOW
THAT, SOME DON’T.
SO THEY’LL HAVE THEIR OWN
RECORDS.
BRIAN, I WANT TO GO TO YOU
ON DAVID PETRAEUS TESTIMONY
AND HOW IT FITS IN TO
THE PROSECUTION’S BURDEN
OF PROOF, WHAT THEY WANT
TO PROVE HERE.
PACKER IS THE PERSON WHO DID
THE CATCH AND KILL SCHEME
AND IN THIS TESTIMONY HE DID
SAY THAT IT WAS IN ORDER
TO KEEP THESE STORIES AWAY FROM
VOTERS.
AND THAT’S CRITICAL, ISN’T IT
ABSOLUTELY.
SO PETRAEUS TESTIMONY GOES
MORE TO KIND OF THE OVERALL
THEME, AN IDEA AS TO WHY THESE
ALLEGED FALSIFIED DOCUMENTS
WERE CREATED.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE WHY
TO THEN GET TO THE BURDEN
OF PROOF OF HAVING TO PROVE
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE
34 COUNTS BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT.
PACKER GIVES YOU THE
UNDERSTANDING OF THIS WAS
THE CONSPIRACY AMONGST THESE
THREE MEN COHEN HIMSELF
AND DONALD TRUMP WHY THEY WERE
ATTEMPTING TO GET THESE
STORIES, WHY THEY WERE
ATTEMPTING TO KILL THEM ALL SO
BOLSTERING STORIES ABOUT TRUMP
THAT WERE POSITIVE AND GETTING
NEGATIVE ONES ABOUT OPPONENTS.
AND THEN ULTIMATELY, IF
THE PROSECUTION CAN PROVE
THEIR CASE, THE CRIME COMES
WITHIN THE COVER UP AS TO
HOW THEY TRIED TO PAY
BACK STORMY, WHAT THOSE
PAYMENTS WERE CATEGORIZED
AS AND THE CONVERSATIONS
THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THESE
THREE MEN TO TRY TO FACILITATE
AND COVER UP THOSE PAYMENTS
AS WELL.
THAT’S HOW HIS TESTIMONY PLAYS
INTO THE OVERALL BURDEN
OF PROOF THAT THE PROSECUTION
HAS TO CARRY IN THIS CASE.
>> RIGHT BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST
PAYING SOMEONE HUSH MONEY ISN’T
NECESSARILY ILLEGAL, BUT DOING
AS A SCHEME TO KEEP
THE INFORMATION FROM VOTERS,
ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, IS A
VIOLATION OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE
LAW BECAUSE IT OPERATES
ESSENTIALLY AS A CAMPAIGN.
>> SO, JOHN, PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS NOT HE’S NOT REQUIRED TO IN
COURT FOR CIVIL TRIALS, BUT IN
THE CRIMINAL CASE,
IT’S DIFFERENT.
>> YEAH, IT’S AMAZING, RIGHT?
I THINK DONALD, FOR ALL THE
TIME THAT HE SAID, YOU KNOW,
I’M HERE BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE
HERE.
BUT HE REALLY DIDN’T HAVE TO
BE THERE IN THE CIVIL
PROCEEDINGS.
NOW HE’S LEARNING A NEW
WORLD WHERE HE ABSOLUTELY HAS
TO BE THERE.
AND LOOK IN PART, YOU KNOW, WE
TALK ABOUT THE STATEMENTS
DONALD TRUMP IS MAKING OUTSIDE
OF COURT AS HE’S IN TODAY
IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
IT IS ACTUALLY A POLITICAL
THERE IS A PRIMARY TODAY
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
IF DONALD TRUMP WAS NOT IN THE
COURTROOM, HE PROBABLY WOULD
ACTUALLY BE OUT
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
HE TALKED ABOUT ONE OF THE
US SENATE CANDIDATES IN THE
PRIMARY IN THAT RACE THAT HE’S
ENDORSING DAVID MCCORMACK.
IN THEORY, HE’D BE OUT
CAMPAIGNING FOR MCCORMICK
TODAY, BUT HE CAN’T DO
THAT BECAUSE HE IS AT COURT.
IT’S JUST A REMINDER, THIS IS A
VERY DIFFERENT WORLD THAT
DONALD TRUMP IS IN RIGHT NOW
THAN HE’S EVER BEEN IN.
HIS SCHEDULE IS BEHOLDEN
TO SOMEBODY.
AND JUST THINK ABOUT THAT FOR
A SECOND, RIGHT?
DONALD TRUMP, WHAT’S HIS BOSS
OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION,
HE OBVIOUSLY WAS THE LEADER
OF THE FREE WORLD AS THE UNITED
STATES.
AND TO THINK THAT IT TOOK
ALMOST 70 PLUS YEARS FOR
SOMEBODY TO TELL DONALD TRUMP,
NO, YOU CAN’T, THAT IT’S JUST
REMARKABLE.
YEAH, THAT’S GOT TO BE TOUGH.
THAT’S GREAT POINT, JOHN,
AS ALWAYS ON THAT.
AND LET ME I WANT TO GO
BACK TO YOU SO DAVID PECKER
TAKING THE WITNESS CHAIR,
THE FIRST WITNESS FOR
THE PROSECUTION IN THIS
CORNERSTONE TESTIMONY OF THE
SCHEME TO PAY HUSH MONEY
TO KEEP STORIES AWAY FROM
VOTERS.
THAT’S THE PROSECUTION’S
CHARGES.
WHAT’S COMING FOR THE JURORS?
>> WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
WHO GOT A SENSE OF THE
WITNESSES COMING UP?
>> WE DON’T YET KNOW WHO IS
COMING UP IN THE WITNESSES.
AND I TALKING ABOUT THIS
EARLIER, BUT LIKELY NEITHER
DOES DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE
PROSECUTORS NOT WANT TO TELL
HIS TEAM IN ADVANCE WHO THEY
ARE CALLING BECAUSE THERE
WORRIED THAT DONALD TRUMP IS
GOING TO ATTACK THEM ON TRUTH.
>> SO FEEL LIKE HE HAS WITH SO
MANY OTHER WITNESSES.
BUT WE DO KNOW THAT WHEN COURT
RESUMES ON THURSDAY,
DAVID PECKER IS NOT DONE.
TERRY YOU REMEMBER THERE
ARE THREE ALLEGED CATCH
AND KILL SCHEMES THAT WERE
OUTLINED IN THE INDICTMENT
THAT DAVID PECKER ALLEGEDLY
WORKED ON.
>> HE HAS ONLY GOTTEN THROUGH
ONE OF THEM SO FAR.
>> AND IT IS THE CATCH AND KILL
WITH THE TRUMP DOORMAN
WHO WAS PEDDLING A FALSE STORY
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP FATHERING AN
ILLEGITIMATE CHILD WITH A MAID
AT TRUMP TOWER, AS HE DESCRIBED
IT TODAY.
SO WE’VE GOT TO GET THROUGH
ALL OF THE REST.
THAT AND IT’S TIME TO HAVE
SOMEONE LIKE DAVID PECKER
IS TESTIFYING THAT I WISH SO
BADLY THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE
COULD SEE THAT THERE WERE
CAMERAS IN THE COURT BECAUSE
THE TESTIMONY IS JUST SO
GRIPPING.
IT IS DETAILED.
IT IS LIKE A STORY BEING PLAYED
OUT OF DONALD TRUMP’S LIFE AND,
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE
IN THAT COURTROOM STOOD BY IT.
AND ONCE AGAIN, CRITICAL
TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTORS
HERE CROSS-EXAMINED AND,
OF COURSE, WILL COME UP
AS WELL.
LIBBY RUBIN, JOHN SANTUCCI
BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANKS VERY
MUCH.
WE TURN NOW TO THE PROTESTS
HAVE BEEN ERUPTING ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
DOZENS OF ARRESTS HAVE BEEN
MADE AT SOME OF THE NATION’S
MOST PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES,
LIKE CALTECH, NYU AND MIT
AND YALE.
AS TENSIONS ESCALATE OVER
THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR ON,
THE SECOND DAY OF THE JEWISH
OBSERVANCE OF PASSOVER.
POLICE IN RIOT GEAR BROKE UP
THE CROWDS AND ARRESTED
HUNDREDS OF OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS.
DESPITE POLICE EFFORTS, HOWEVER
THE PROTESTS CONTINUE TO GROW
AND IN RESPONSE, A COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY HAS ANNOUNCED
THAT THEY ARE NOW MOVING
TO LEARNING FOR THE REST OF THE
SEMESTER.
NO MORE IN-PERSON BECAUSE
OF THESE PROTESTS.
>> THE PROTESTS ENGAGED
WITH AUTHORITIES IN A STAND OFF
FOLLOWING AN ORDER TO VACATE.
BUT MANY STUDENTS, ALONG
WITH PROFESSORS, OTHER SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS, ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT HOW THIS MIGHT
IMPACT OVERALL SAFETY GOING
FORWARD.
>> IT’S NOT ONLY LIKE MENTALLY
EXHAUSTING.
I FOUND THIS PAST PASSAGES
YEARS.
IT’S BEEN LIKE PHYSICALLY
AFFECTING ME.
IT’S JUST SO AWFUL.
THE THINGS I’VE BEEN HEARING
AND SEEING, AND I FOUND THAT I
HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FOCUS
ON ANY OF MY SCHOOLWORK.
I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE GO TO
CLASSES.
SO THIS IS A PHENOMENON THAT’S
GROWING, THAT’S BRINGING
ABC IKE EJIOCHI HAS BEEN
COVERING THIS STORY FOR US SO
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM
DEMONSTRATORS AT THESE CAMPUS
PROTESTERS?
IT’S ABOUT THEIR CAUSES,
BUT HOW MUCH PROGRESS
THEY THINK THEY MIGHT BE ABLE
TO MAKE IN PURSUING THOSE
CAUSES AND IN WHAT THEY WANT
TO DO TO UNIVERSITY LIFE
IN TERMS OF DISRUPTING IT
BEFORE THEY GET THAT?
>> YEAH, TERRY, THIS IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO GO
AWAY OVERNIGHT.
A LOT OF THE PROTESTERS
THAT OUR TEAM HAS SPOKEN TO SAY
THAT THEY ARE THIS FOR THE LONG
HAUL.
SOME EVEN SAYING IF THEY GET
EXPELLED, THEY DON’T PLAN
ON GOING ANYWHERE.
>> AND THIS IS ALL COMING FROM
ISRAEL’S WAR IN GAZA.
SO MANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE
SPOKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE
GENESIS OF THEIR ESSENTIALLY
FIRE THAT’S KEEPING THEM
ON THEIR CAMPUSES FOR SO LONG.
AND IF YOU GO TO COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, YOU CAN
ACTUALLY GET A REALLY
GOOD UNDERSTANDING TO WHAT
THESE PROTESTERS ARE LOOKING
FOR.
NOW, THERE’S A GROUP
CALLED DIVEST THAT’S
ESSENTIALLY A COALITION
OF ABOUT 100 STUDENT
LED GROUPS.
AND WHAT THEY’RE ASKING FOR FOR
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND OTHER
INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY
TO DIVEST FROM COMPANIES
AND INSTITUTIONS TIED
TO ISRAEL.
NOW, THEY ALSO WANT TO BE
GRANTED THE ABILITY
TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST WITHOUT
THE FEAR OF ANY KIND
OF VIOLENCE OR INTIMIDATION.
ALL CAMPUSES, OBVIOUSLY,
WITH THE HELP OF CAMPUS POLICE,
BUT THEY’RE ALSO OUT
A STATEMENT SAYING THAT ALL
THE VIOLENCE THAT WE’RE SEEING
RIGHT NOW HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH THEM.
THEY’RE SAYING THAT THEY’VE HAD
INFLAMMATORY INDIVIDUALS WHO DO
NOT REPRESENT US, INFILTRATE
THEIR ENTIRE WHAT THEY’RE
TRYING TO BE ACCOMPLISH, WHICH
IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST
AND ESSENTIALLY TURN IT ON ITS
HEAD, WHICH IS WHY WE’RE SEEING
THE NYPD PUT OUT THAT STATEMENT
SAYING THAT A LOT OF THE
PROTESTS THAT THEY DEALT
WITH LAST NIGHT WEREN’T
NECESSARILY STUDENTS OF THAT
UNIVERSITY.
BUT AGAIN, WE ARE HEARING FROM
THIS GROUP WHO IS ESSENTIALLY
SAYING THEY WANT THESE
UNIVERSITIES TO SEVER TIES,
ISRAEL, WHICH IS WHY
YOU’RE SEEING THE PERSISTENCE
RIGHT NOW ON THESE COLLEGE
CAMPUSES THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRY.
>> TERRY.
GOT IT.
AND THEN ON OTHER SIDE, WE’RE
ALSO HEARING FROM JEWISH
STUDENTS AT COLUMBIA
AND ELSEWHERE WHO SAY
THEY DON’T FEEL SAFE, THAT THEY
HAVE BEEN ACCOSTED, THAT THERE
HAVE BEEN THEY’VE BEEN VICTIMS
OF HATE SPEECH, SOME OF IT
ON VIDEO THAT.
WE HAVE SEEN WHAT EFFORTS
ARE SCHOOL OFFICIALS MAKING
TO KEEP CAMPUSES SAFE FOR
ALL OR PART OF THEM.
>> THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
YOU JUST POINTED EARLIER
WITH CAL TECH, WITH COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, AND THAT’S
THE UNIVERSITY IS GOING
TO HYBRID LEARNING.
WE’RE SEEING THEM ESSENTIALLY
TRY TO HAVE A BREAK TO COOL
DOWN THE TEMPERATURES
AND REALLY JUST HAVE EVERYONE
OFF CAMPUS.
BUT THAT’S THEIR ONLY DOING
THE USE OF OUTSIDE OF HYBRID
TEACHING.
THEY’RE ALSO BRINGING IN A LOT
MORE RESOURCES TO MAKE
THE STUDENTS FEEL SAFE OVER
THERE IN COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY,
HUNDRED AND 11 ADDITIONAL
SECURITY PERSONNEL.
THEY’VE BEEN DISPERSED
ALL THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS,
SOME OF THEM EVEN PROVIDING
ESCORT SERVICES FOR STUDENTS
WHO NEED THEM.
THERE’LL BE IMPROVED ID CHECKS
FOR ENTRY POINTS AND INCREASED
SECURITY AT THE CRAFT CENTER
OVER THERE ON COLUMBIA, WHICH
HOUSES ASPECTS OF JEWISH LIFE
ON CAMPUS.
BUT AGAIN, IT’S IMPORTANT
TO NOTE, THERE ARE NO CREDIBLE
THREATS RIGHT NOW OR INTO ANY
PARTICULAR GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL.
BUT WE’RE GOING TO SEE
ALL THESE RAMPED UP SECURITY
PERSONNEL AND SOMETIMES EVEN
POLICE FORCES ON THESE CAMPUSES
JUST TO MAKE SURE THESE
STUDENTS FEEL SAFE WHEN
THEY COME BACK TO CAMPUS TERRY.
>> AND CERTAINLY
THE UNIVERSITY’S TAKING
THE STEP OF HYBRID LEARNING
OF NOT LEARNING AT A SCHOOL
THAT COST UPWARDS OF 90,000
A YEAR IS THE PRICE TAG.
SO THAT’S WHAT YOU GET AT
COLUMBIA.
JACKI, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR
THAT REPORT.
I KNOW YOU’LL CONTINUE ON IT
FOR US.
SO WE’RE FOLLOWING BREAKING
NEWS NOW.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS
ANNOUNCED A MULTIMILLION
SETTLEMENT INVOLVING
THE DISGRACED FORMER USA
GYMNASTICS DOCTOR, LARRY
NASSAR.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
REVEALING TODAY THAT IT REACHED
A $139 MILLION SETTLEMENT
WITH THE VICTIMS OF NASSAR
TO RESOLVE THEIR CLAIMS
OF WRONGDOING AGAINST THE FBI,
FAILED TO INVESTIGATE OF
ABUSE.
ABC NEWS CHIEF JUSTICE
CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS
IS FOLLOWING THIS STORY FOR US.
PIERRE, THIS IS JUST A HUGE
SETTLEMENT AND AN
ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT, JUST THE SIZE
OF IT.
>> HOW MUCH WENT WRONG AT THE
FBI.
REMIND US HOW WE GOT HERE.
TERRY, IT REALLY IS ONE OF THE
DARKEST DAYS IN THE FBI RECENT
HISTORY.
THE ALLEGATIONS ARE THAT THESE
WOMEN CAME TO THE FBI
WITH ALLEGATIONS THAT LARRY
NASSAR WAS ESSENTIALLY
MOLESTING THEM IN CAPACITY AS A
DOCTOR FOR USA GYMNASTICS.
THE CLAIM WENT NOT FOLLOWED
THROUGH.
THE FBI DID NOT VIGOROUSLY
INVESTIGATE IT.
IN FACT, THEY DID NOT EVEN
CONTACT AUTHORITIES IN THE
JURISDICTION.
LARRY NASSAR WAS
ACTUALLY WORKING FULL TIME.
AND AS A RESULT, FOR NEARLY
14 MONTHS.
THE ALLEGED BEHAVIOR CONTINUED
WITH AT LEAST 17 MORE WOMEN
ATTACKED OR ASSAULTED LARRY
NASSAR.
SO THE INSPECTOR GENERAL HAD
FOUND THAT.
THE FBI HAD FAILED A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO.
TODAY, SETTLEMENT $138.7
MILLION TO 139 VICTIMS IS MEANT
TO REFLECT THE FACT THAT THE
DOJ UTTERLY FAILED THESE WOMEN
.
JUST AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT
AND REALLY A CAPSTONE TO A
AS YOU SAY, A VERY DEEPLY
TROUBLING STORY AT THE FBI.
PIERRE THOMAS, THANKS.

SCENE AROUND THE WORLD WE HAD
A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE
"WALL STREET JOURNAL" REPORTER
GERSHKOVICH IN A COURT
IN MOSCOW TODAY.
HE’S APPEALING HIS PRETRIAL
DETENTION AND THIS IS AN APPEAL
THAT PREDICTABLY, GIVEN
THE RUSSIAN SYSTEM OF JUSTICE
DENIED.
BUT GERSHKOVICH WILL BE
IN DETENTION NOW UNTIL JUNE
30TH, AND THEN HE’LL LEARN
HIS FATE.
HE SPENT OVER YEAR IN A RUSSIAN
PRISON, NOW UNJUSTLY, ACCORDING
TO AMERICAN AUTHORITIES AND THE
"WALL STREET JOURNAL" AS WELL,
AFTER RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES
SEIZED AMONG ESPIONAGE CHARGES,
THE U.S. SAYS THOSE
ARE FABRICATED.
>> ABC NEWS PATRICK REEVELL HAS
THE LATEST.
HEY, PATRICK.
>> HI, KARA.
WE SAW "WALL STREET JOURNAL"
REPORTER EVAN GERSHKOVICH
BROUGHT TO COURT IN MOSCOW
TODAY.
IT WAS ONE OF THE RARE CHANCES
TO SEE HIM, AS USUAL, HE WAS
BEING HELD IN A GLASS CAGE.
OUR PRODUCER IN THE COURTROOM
WAS ABLE TO ASK HOW HE WAS,
HOW WHY YOU EVEN HE’S NOT
ALLOWED TO SPEAK.
BUT HE DID SMILE AND GAVE
A THUMBS UP.
AS EXPECTED, THE COURT AGAIN
REJECTED GERSHKOVICH HIS APPEAL
AGAINST HIS PRETRIAL DETENTION,
EXTENDING IT AGAIN UNTIL JUNE
30TH.
>> HE’S BEEN HELD NOW FOR OVER
A YEAR SINCE RUSSIA’S FSB
SEIZED HIM ON ESPIONAGE CHARGES
THAT HIS NEWSPAPER, THE U.S.
AND OF INTERNATIONAL MEDIA
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE DENOUNCED
AS FABRICATED THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION AND THE KREMLIN
HAVE BOTH SIGNALED
THAT NEGOTIATIONS
ARE CONTINUING FOR A DEAL
TO FREE GERSHKOVICH AND ANOTHER
AMERICAN PAUL WHELAN.
BUT FOR NOW, THOUGH, NO
DEAL HAS BEEN REACHED AND THE
WAIT FOR THEIR FAMILIES GOES
ON KYRA.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I’M TERRY, BUT THANK YOU TO
PATRICK REEVELL FOR
THAT REPORT.
WELL, PROSECUTORS ARE SPEAKING
OUT ABOUT A NEW RULING IN THE
IDAHO UNIVERSITY MURDERS CASE.

PROSECUTORS THE QUESTIONS COULD
PREJUDICE THE JURY POOL.
THIS IS.

AND HAVE YOU READ, SEEN OR
HEARD IF BRIAN KOHBERGER

REPRESENTATIONS PLACED IN THE
FORM OF A QUESTION,

AND TERRIFYING MOMENTS
IN CALIFORNIA AFTER A FAMILY
WATCHED THEIR BOUNCY
HOUSE LITERALLY TAKE FLIGHT.
THIS HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO.

DEVIL WIND AND THEN SOARING

SCARY.
THE TWISTER LIKE WIND ALSO
FLIPPING THEIR TRAMPOLINE,

>> I BROKE MY WINDSHIELD,
MY ANTENNA.
WE HAVE SEEN BOUNCE HOUSES
ON THE MOVE BEFORE.

LUCKILY, ALL SURVIVED.
A UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA STUDY

INJURIES BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH

I’M SO GLAD I COULD SPEND IT

SURPRISE FOR YOU A LITTLE LATER,
BUT WE WANT TO TALK FIRST ABOUT
A NEW STUDY OUT.
IT’S LOOKING AT YOUNG PER PEOPL
WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND
THEIR RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR
COMPLEXES.
>> Dr. Jen: I’M THE DAUGHTER OF
A CARDIOLOGIST.
THIS LATEST STUDY LOOKED AT
60,000 ADULTS WITH ATRIAL
FIBRILLATION, AND SPECIFICALLY
WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT IS
KIND OF AGE DISTRIBUTION.
THEY FOUND 17,000 APPROXIMATELY
WERE YOUNGER THAN AGE 65.
SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
JUST AFFECTS OLDER PEOPLE.
IT WAS FOUND TO COEXIST WITH
CERTAIN MEDICAL CONDITIONS LIKE
OBE
OBESITY, CONGESTIVE HEART
FAILURE, AND/OR CHRONIC
HYPERTENSION OR HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE.
WE KNOW THAT FIBRILLATION
NEEDS TO BE ON EVERYONE’S RADAR
BECAUSE IT IS THAT COMMON.
>> WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF
THIS?
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR RHEART
RATE IS NORMAL OR NOT?
>> Dr. Jen: IT’S TRADITIONALLY
KNOWN AS AN IRREGULARLY
IRREGULAR RHYTHM OF THE HEART
BEAT.
I’LL TAKE YOU THROUGH HOW YOU
CAN CHECK YOUR OWN PULSE,
BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT
LOOKING FOR A-FIB, IT’S
IMPORTANT.
TAKE THESE TWO FINGERS AND PUT
THEM ALONG THE LINE OF YOUR
THUMB.
THAT’S YOUR RADIAL ARTERY, AND
YOU CAN ALSO PUT THEM GENTLY IN
THE NOTCH OF YOUR NECK RIGHT
UNDER YOUR JAWBONE, AND YOU WANT
TO KIND OF TRY TO TIME YOUR
HEART BEAT FOR 60 SECONDS.
THAT’S THE EASIEST WAY.
NORMAL IS 60 TO 100 BEATS PER
MINUTE, BUT IN PARTICULAR, YOU
DON’T JUST WANT TO LOOK FOR THE
TOTAL COUNT THAT YOU GET IN
60 SECONDS OR A MINUTE.
YOU WANT TO SEE IF IT’S REGULAR
OR IRREGULAR.
IF YOU ARE GETTING SOMETHING
THAT’S IRREGULAR, YOU WANT TO
HAVE IT CHECKED OUT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I THINK I’M FEELING GOOD RIGHT
NOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH
YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.

>> Rhiannon: WELCOME BACK TO
"GMA3."
THE FUTURE OF TIKTOK IS AT STAKE
AS A BILL MAKES ITS WAY TO THE
SENATE TODAY.
>> Will: WHAT LAWMAKERS DECIDE
COULD IMPACT MILLIONS OF USERS
WHO TURN TO THE APP FOR FUN,
DANCE VIDEOS, RECIPES, SO MUCH
MORE, AND JOINING US NOW TO MAKE
SENSE OF IT ALL IS ILLINOIS
CONGRESSMAN RAJA CRIS NER
MURTHY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
TODAY TO HELP US DIG THROUGH ALL
OF THIS.
WHAT ARE THE KEY POINTS OF THIS
BILL, AND COULD WE REALLY SEE
TIKTOK, SUCH A POPULAR APP, GET
BANNED IN THIS COUNTRY?
>> I DON’T THINK THAT IT WILL
DISAPPEAR.
I THINK THAT IT WILL CONTINUE
OPERATING, BUT UNDER NEW
MANAGEMENT.
JUST TO KIND OF REFRESH THE
BACKGROUND OF THIS PARTICULAR
SITUATION, TIKTOK IS OWNED BY A
COMPANY CALLED BYTEDANCE.
IT’S A CHINESE COMPANY THAT’S
INDISPUTABLY CONTROLLED BY THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
THE CCP HAS ACTUALLY EMBEDDED A
CELL WITHIN THE COMPANY TO
CONTROL ITS OPERATIONS.
THE EDITOR IN CHIEF OF BYTEDANCE
IS THE HEAD OF THAT CELL, AND SO
THAT’S A BIG CONCERN, BUT MORE
THAN THAT, UNDER CHINESE
INTELLIGENCE LAWS, ESSENTIALLY
THAT COMPANY HAS TO HAND OVER
THE DATA OF ITS USERS INCLUDING
1
170 MILLION AMERICANS USER DATA
TO THE CCP UPON REQUEST, AND THE
CCP HAS ULTIMATE CONTROL OF THE
ALGORITHM WHICH FEEDS THE
CONTENT OF THE PLATFORM.
SO BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES, WE
HAVE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THIS APP
FOR YEARS.
THIS WOULD BASICALLY PROVIDE AN
INCENTIVE FOR SELLING OFF TIKTOK
FROM BYTEDANCE, AND ALLOWING IT
TO CONTINUE UNDER THE MANAGEMENT
AND CONTROL OF A NON-ADVERSARY
SUCH THE CCP.
>> Rhiannon: AND CONGRESSMAN, I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO
KNOW IF THIS BILL IS ABOUT
ONLINE PRIVACY, ABOUT KEEPING
THINGS PRIVATE.
WHY WAS IT FOLDED INTO A FOREIGN
AID PACKAGE?
>> YEAH, ACTUALLY WE ALL HAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY OF OUR
DIGITAL DATA, AND WHETHER IT’S
FROM THE CCP OR ANY OTHER ACTOR,
WE DON’T WANT IT TO BE
WEAPONIZED AGAINST US.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IT’S
REALLY ABOUT THE THREAT OF A
FOREIGN ADVERSARY HAVING ACCESS
TO THIS DATA.
WHILE WE NEED TO ACT UPON ALL OF
THOSE OTHER THREATS EVEN FROM
DOMESTIC ACTORS, THERE’S
CONSENSUS THAT YOU CAN’T
LEGISLATE AGAINST BEIJING OR
TEHRAN OR MOSCOW OR ANY OTHER
FOREIGN ADVERSARY, AND SO THAT’S
WHY THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE IS NOW
WRAPPED UP IN THIS SET OF BILLS
DEALING WITH FOREIGN THREATS.
>> Will: ON THE DOMESTIC FRONT,
WE’RE JUST MONTHS AWAY FROM
ELECTION DAY.
THERE’S DAY-TO-DAY ISSUES THAT
AMERICANS ARE MOST CONCERNED
ABOUT.
HOUSING, THE ECONOMY, CRIME JUST
TO NAME BUT A FEW.
IS A TIKTOK BAN OR SOME VERSION
OF THAT REALLY WHERE CONGRESS
SHOULD BE SPENDING ITS ENERGY
RIGHT NOW?
>> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR
ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IN THE RUN UP
TO THE ELECTIONS.
THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE INDICATED
THAT TIKTOK IS USED AS A
PLATFORM FOR INTERFERING IN
VARIOUS ELECTIONS AROUND THE
WORLD INCLUDING MOST RECENTLY IN
TAIWAN, WHICH HELD ELECTIONS
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE ELECTIONS SOON, AND THE
DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE SAID THAT THEY
EXPECT THAT TIKTOK WOULD BE USED
TO INTERFERE IN OUR ELECTIONS AS
WELL.
SO THIS IS VERY TIMELY.
>> Rhiannon: TIKTOK HAS 170
MILLION USERS HERE IN THE U.S.
ALONE.
A LOT OF THEM ARE SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS, AND A LOT OF THEM ARE
CONTENT CREATORS.
THEY DEPEND ON MONEY FROM
TIKTOK.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE PEOPLE
THAT ARE REALLY WORRIED, VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR
LIVELIHOODS AT THIS POINT?
>> YEAH.
I THINK THAT THIS PLATFORM IS
GOING TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE,
BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO HAVE THE
CCP CONTROLLING IT.
THIS IS NOT WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
THERE WAS AN APP CALLED GRINDR,
A VERY POPULAR LGBTQ DATING APP
THAT GOT ACQUIRED BY A CHINESE
COMPANY.
WHEN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOUND
OUT THAT THE CCP HAD ACCESS TO
THE SENSITIVE DATA OF LGBTQ
MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THE
GOVERNMENT, IT REQUIRED
DIVESTMENT OF THIS PARTICULAR
APP.
THAT HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY

>> Rhiannon: WE ARE BACK NOW
WITH AN INCREDIBLE YOUNG WOMAN
FROM KENTUCKY WHO RECENTLY
BECAME THE FIRST AMERICAN TO WIN
AN ALL-FEMALE CAMEL-RACING
COMPETITION IN DUBAI.
SHE ONLY HAD TWO WEEKS TO TRAIN.
HER INCREDIBLE JOURNEY ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE.
>> I’M THE FIRST FEMALE CAMEL
JOCKEY BASED IN AMERICA TO WIN
THE C-1 CAMEL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
DUBAI.
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN HORSES
MY ENTIRE LIFE.
COMPETING WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING I
WANTED TO DO.
I MADE MY FIRST APPEARANCE IN
THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AT AGE 9
AND REALLY JUST FELL IN LOVE
WITH THE RACING INDUSTRY.
I WENT TO COLLEGE AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE AND I
WAS AN ECON BUSINESS MAJOR.
I CAME TO DUBAI TO COVER A HORSE
RACE AND THAT’S WHEN I WAS
INTRODUCED TO LINDA AND HER
CAMEL-RIDING PROGRAM.
SHE MENTIONED TO ME SHE HAD AN
ALL-WOMAN’S RACING TEAM.
>> SHE WAS VERY EAGER AND DID
ALL THE HARD WORK.
THAT KIND OF COMMITMENT AND
DRIVE IS WHAT MADE WE REALLY
ALSO BELIEVE IN HER.
>> I DIDN’T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT
IT WOULD BE LIKE.
CAMELS AREN’T REALLY OUR WAY OF
LIFE.
YOU SEE THEM OCCASIONALLY AT
ZOOS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT
IT’S NOT PART OF THE CULTURE.
IT’S BASICALLY WHAT YOU THINK OF
WHEN YOU THINK OF A HORSE
JOCKEY.
THE TRACK IS STRAIGHT.
IT’S THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILE
AND THERE’S A ROAD NEXT TO IT.
IT’S A SURREAL FEELING WHEN
YOU’RE GALLOPING BASICALLY ON A
CAMEL AND THERE’S PEOPLE HONKING
THEIR HORNS AND CHEERING FOR
YOU, AND THE FINISH LINE, YOU’RE
READY TO REACH IT.
>> IT MIGHT SEEM VERY DAUNTING
AT FIRST, BUT THERE’S ALWAYS THE
FIRST STEP THAT YOU NEED TO
TAKE.
YOU GET ON A CAMEL.
SHE WAS ALSO SOMEONE I COULD
PUSH A LITTLE BIT PHYSICALLY IN
THE SHORT SPAN OF TIME WE HAD IN
ORDER TO GET HER ON THE RACE.
>> I DIDN’T HAVE ANY EXPECTATION
TO WIN.
I FELT LIKE I HAD ALREADY WON
WITH THE RELATIONSHIPS I’VE MADE
WITH PEOPLE AND CAMELS.
I WAS VERY LUCKY, AND DEFINITELY
HAD A GOOD TEAMMATE IN MY CAMEL.
LINDA IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN A
BIG INSPIRATION FOR ME BECAUSE
SHE CAME OVER HERE AND CREATED
SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN
DONE.
>> HAVING ISABELLA WIN WAS
DEFINITELY A PROUD MOMENT.
WE JUST LOVE TO GET MORE WOMEN
IN SPORTS THAT ARE NOT
NECESSARILY TYPICAL FOR THEM.
>> I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD
SAY I RODE A CAMEL, LET ALONE
WON A CAMEL RACE IN DUBAI.
>> WE HOPE WE CAN HELP CHANGE
PERSPECTIVES.
I THINK THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL
MOVEMENT TO BE PART OF.
JUST GET OUT THERE AND TRY
THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE
MAYBE NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE WHO
KNOWS?
THERE’S LOT THAT CAN HAPPEN.
>> I HOPE TO BE AN INSPIRATION
FOR OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL.
WHETHER IT’S CAMEL RACING OR
SOMETHING ELSE THAT I LOOK
FORWARD TOCAMELS
ARE THAT FAST?
>> Will: I DIDN’T.
I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU THAT.
>>> WHEN WE COME BACK, WE’RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT PETS AND HOW
THEY CAN IMPROVE OUR MENTAL
HEALTH.

>> Rhiannon: WELCOME BACK,
EVERYONE.
WE HAVE A NEW STUDY THAT WE WANT
TO TALK ABOUT, THAT SHOWS
ELDERLY PATIENTS, ESPECIALLY
WOMEN WHO ARE TREATED BY WOMEN
PHYSICIANS HAVE A LOWER RISK OF
MORTALITY THAN IF THEY’RE
TREATED BY MALE PHYSICIANS.
>> Dr. Jen: RIGHT.
THIS IS PUBLISHED IN THE ANANAL
OF INTERNAL MEDICINE.
THIS FINDING THAT FEMALE
PHYSICIANS HAVE BETTER OUTCOMES
IS NOT NEW.
WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING ON THIS
FOR YEARS, BUT WE LOOKED AT
PATIENTS WHO WERE ELDERLY AND
RE-ADMISSION RATES, BACK TO THE
HOSPITAL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF
DISCHARGE.
WE’VE SEEN SIMILAR FINDINGS WITH
WOMEN SURGEONS, AND LOOK.
I THINK FIRST OF ALL, FIRST AND
FOREMOST, WE — THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY NOT SUGGESTING THAT
MALE PHYSICIANS HAVE BAD
OUTCOMES, RIGHT?
BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE FACT
THAT OUTCOMES CAN BE TRACKED TO
THE PROVIDER, OF COURSE, YOU
WANT TO DO A DEEP DIVE AND
FIGURE OUT, IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT WE CAN LEARN THAT CAN BE
EXTRAPOLATED TO HELP OTHER
PEOPLE?
YOU KNOW, LOOK.
WHEN I THINK BACK 20 YEARS AGO
WHEN I WAS IN MEDICAL SCHOOL AND
DID A RESIDENCY IN SPECIALTY IN
OB
OB-GYN, IT WASN’T THE NORM THAT
DOCTORS WERE WOMEN.
ESPECIALLY IN SURGICAL
SPECIALTIES AND NOW, YOU KNOW,
IT’S ABOUT HALF, AND IF THERE IS
SOMETHING THAT CAN BE TRACED
BACK TO WOMEN THAT IMPROVES
PEOPLE’S OUTCOMES, OF COURSE,
THAT’S A GOOD THING.
>> Will: YOU SAID IT’S NOT ABOUT
MEN BEING WORSE OR —
>> Dr. Jen: RIGHT.
>> Will: OR PREDICTIVE OF WORSE
OUTCOMES, BUT IS THERE SOMETHING
THAT WOMEN ARE DOING THAT IS
MAYBE BETTER?
>> Dr. Jen: THE THEORY IS
COMMUNICATION MIGHT BE BETTER,
NURTURING MIGHT BE BETTER, BUT
WHO KNOWS?
WE ALL HAVE TO LEARN THE SAME
THINGS.
PERSONALLY, ALL OF MY PHYSICIANS
HAPPEN TO BE MEN, BUT THE BOTTOM
LINE IS, YOU KNOWOW PHYSICIAN W
THEY’RE A MAN OR WOMAN.

THIS THING EXPLODED ON SOCIAL

TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND
HOW ALL THIS HAMMPPENED.
>> SO I WAS GOING THROUGH A VERY
DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE, AND
THE ONE THING THAT GOT ME
THROUGH THAT WAS JOURNALING AND
JOURNALING BECAME MY OUTLET.
SO WHEN I HEARD OF THE TERM,
SHADOW WORK AND SHADOW WORK
JOURNALING, THAT WAS THE MISSING
PUZZLE PIECE.
THAT GAVE A NAME TO THIS
INTROSPECTIVE WORK THAT WAS
ALREADY DOING IN MY JOURNAL,
ASKING MYSELF DEEP QUESTIONS AND
TRYING TO GET TO THE ROOT OF
THOSE EMOTIONS, AND I WONDERED,
WHY DON’T MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT
THIS?
SO THAT’S WHEN I DECIDED TO
CREATE THE SHADOW WORK JOURNAL,
AND IT’S HAD IMMENSE ONLINE
PRAISE, AND IT’S REACHED
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
IT’S INCREDIBLE TO SEE HOW MANY
PEOPLE HAVE RESONATED WITH THIS
WORK, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER
GENERATIONS.
>> Will: FOR THE UNFAMILIAR,
WHAT EXACTLY — YOU GOT INTO IT
A LITTLE BIT, BUT WHAT EXACTLY
IS SHADOW WORK?
>> SHADOW WORK IS ALL ABOUT
EXPLORING THE UNKNOWN PARTS OF
YOUR MIND, ASKING YOURSELF DEEP
QUESTIONS, GETTING TO THE ROOT
OF YOUR EMOTIONS, AND FINDING
HIDDEN ANSWERS THAT ARE ALREADY
WITHIN YOU.
SO IT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR
FEARS, YOUR DOUBTS, YOUR
WORRIES, YOUR ANXIETIES, BUT IT
ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO EXPLORE EVEN
YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR
ASPIRATIONS, AND YOUR HIDDEN
TALENTS BECAUSE THAT CAN ALSO BE
NEGLECTED.
IT’S ALL ABOUT LOOKING AT EVERY
ASPECT OF YOURSELF WITH THE LENS
OF COMPASSION AND FIGURING OUT
WHAT YOU CAN LET GO OF OR WHAT
YOU CAN FOSTER TO BECOME A
BETTER VERSION OF YOU.
>> Rhiannon: I WAS LOOKING ET AT
THE BOOK THIS MORNING AND
READING SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS.
ONE OF THE ONES THAT REALLY
STUCK OUT TO ME, IN WHAT WAYS
HAVE I BEEN REPRIMANDED IN MY
CHILDHOOD AND BEYOND?
YOU’RE GOING DEEP.
YOU MENTIONED, ALL ASPECTS OF
YOURSELF.
TELL US ABOUT THESE EXERCISES
AND WHAT BENEFITS WE CAN GET
FROM DOING THESE AND GOING THAT
DEEP.
THAT CAN BE SCARY FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
>> DEFINITELY.
SO ONE EXERCISE THAT HAS BEEN
SUCH A POPULAR ONE AMONGST OUR
JOURNALERS IS THIS FILL IN THE
BLANK EXERCISE AND IT GIVES YOU
A FRAMEWORK.
IT GIVES YOU A NARRATIVE TO WORK
WITH.
THE CONCEPT IS YOU READ THROUGH
IT AND ANY TIME YOU SEE A BLANK,
YOU FILL IT IN WITH THE FIRST
WORD THAT POPS UP IN YOUR MIND.
THIS ALLOWS YOU TO UNCOVER SOME
OF THOSE UNCONSCIOUS BELIEFS
THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT YOURSELF OR
ABOUT YOUR MEMORIES.
THERE’S ALSO PAGES IN THE BACK
TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT SHADOW WORK

THEMES FROM FEAR, INNER CHILD,

21st CENTURY.
DR. JEN, I WANT TO BRING YOU IN
AND ASK YOU FROM YOUR LICENSED
MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE WHAT THE
BENEFITS OF JOURNALING AND DOING
EXERCISES LIKE THIS HELP US
PROCESS EMOTIONS LIKE ANXIETY OR
WHAT HAVE YOU.
>> Dr. Jen: WELL, FIRST OF ALL
THERE IS SOME DATA ON THAT.
IF YOU LOOK IN THE MENTAL HEALTH
LITERATURE, BUT I THINK THE
OBVIOUS REASONS THAT JOURNALING
CAN BE SO HELPFUL TO SO MANY
PEOPLE ARE — THERE’S A PLETHORA
OF THOSE REASONS.
NUMBER ONE, IT’S EASY.
IT’S ACCESSIBLE.
IT’S AFFORDABLE, AND IT’S
CONFIDENTIAL.
THERE’S NO JUDGMENT, AND THE
PART THAT I LOVE ABOUT IT, AND
BY THE WAY, BOTH OF MY KIDS HAVE
TRIED TO GET ME INTO JOURNALING
BECAUSE THEY HAVE FOUND IT SO
HELPFUL FOR THEM, IS YOU WRITE
YOUR OWN STORY.
SO YOU CAN — AS YOU EVOLVE OVER
THINGS, YOU CAN LOOK BACK ON IT
AND SAY, WOW.
I THOUGHT THAT WAY SIX MONTHS
AGO, BUT I DON’T FEEL THAT WAY
NOW, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE
YOUR PROGRESS AND EVOLUTION.
I THINK THIS IS AMAZING.

PEOPLE ARE REALLY PASSIONATE
ABOUT PROMOTING NEW WAYS OF
MOBILITY WHILE MINIMIZING ITS
IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
WE AIM AT BALANCING IN EVERY
DECISION WE MAKE, THE PEOPLE,
THE PROFITS, AND THE PLANET.
WE HAVE SET A AMBITIOUS GOAL OF
2030, ZERO MANUFACTURING WASTE
GOING TO LANDFILLS.
WE WANT TO BE SUSTAINABLE AND
REDUCE WASTE BY 2030 TORKS
PRO —
TO PRODUCE ALL OF OUR TIRES WITH
RENEWABLE AND RECYCLED
MATERIALS.
KNOWING THAT THE END GOAL IS BY
2050 TO BE AT 200%.
>> THAT’S AMAZING.
YOU GUYS RECENTLY UNVEILED NEW
INNOVATIONS AT THE
SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT.
CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT AND THE PRODUCT?
>> THE FIRST MESSAGE WE CONVEYED
IS WE ARE LEADING THE TIRE
INDUSTRY TODAY, AND I DON’T KNOW
WHETHER YOU’RE FAMILIAR WITH THE
POWER WARD WHICH IS BASED ON THE
CONSUMER’S ACTUALLY EXPENSES AND
WHIT COMES TO THE CATEGORY, YOU
MIGHT WANT TO KNOW THAT MICHELIN
IS BY FAR THE MOST AWARDED
BRAND, AND BEYOND THAT, ANOTHER
EXAMPLE IS RED GUIDES.
NOW YOU CAN PICK AND CHOOSE.
THOSE ARE RECOGNIZED BY MICHELIN
IN NORTH AMERICA.
>> FROM THE SOIL TO THE TABLE,
THOSE ARE THE JOURNEYS AT THE
ROOT OF THE MICHELIN GUIDE.
>> WE INTRODUCED AS THE GREEN
STAR WHO WAS RECOGNIZING THE
CHEFS THAT ARE REALLY PASSIONATE
ABOUT SUSTAINABLE CUISINE.
THEY CHOOSE THEIR INGREDIENTS
LOCALLY, AND THEY COOK WITH THE
VEGETABLE OF THE SEASON SO TO
RESPECT THE CYCLE OF MODERN
NATURE.
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT
SUSTAINABILITY, WE THINK REALLY
BIG.
>> ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE MORE
POPULAR THAN EVER RIGHT NOW.
HOW HAS THAT AFFECTED MICHELIN?
>> IT’S HEAVIER, AND BECAUSE OF
THE ELECTRIC POWER, IT
ACCELERATES VERY, VERY FAST.
SO IF YOU COMBINE THE WEIGHT AND
THE ACCELERATION, IT PUTS A LOT
OF PRESSURE ON THE TIRE MEANING
WHEN YOU TRANSITION, YOUR TIRES
CAN WEAR UP TO 20% FASTER.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU HAVE
AN EV TODAY, YOU CAN GAIN UP TO
40 ADDITIONAL MILES ON YOUR CAR.
>> I THINK THE TIRE IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING BECAUSE ONCE GET
A FLAT, YOU ALREADY KNOW — YOU
GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.
>> YOU’RE RIGHT.
>> NOT ONLY IS THE ENVIRONMENT
AT THE HEART OF WHAT YOU GUYS DO
AT MICHELIN, BUT IT ALSO SOUNDS
LIKE THE PEOPLE ARE AS WELL.
MICHELIN HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY
NAMED TOP AUTOMOTIVE EMPLOYER
BY "FORBES."
WHAT IS IT LIKE GETTING THAT
RECOGNITION.
>> THIS IS MY PASSION.
I THINK THAT’S WHY I STAY AT
THIS COMPANY FOR THE LAST
20 YEARS.
WE PUT THE PEOPLE AT THE HEART
OF EVERYTHING BYWE DO, AND
RECEIVING THOSE FROM THE OUTSIDE
MEANS A LOT TO US, AND WE’VE
RECEIVED MANY ACCOLADES ABOUT
HOW WE PROMOTE VETERANS, AND
DIVERSITY ON OUR TEAM, AND I
THINK ALL OF THAT CONTRIBUTES TO
THE QUALITY OF THE PEOPLE WE
HAVE.
SO I THINK THE RECOGNITION GOES
TO THE 23,000 PEOPLE THAT ARE
WORKING FOR MICHELIN.
>> THANKS SO MUCH TO OUR SPONSOR
MICHELIN AND ALEXIS GARCIN TO
MAKE THE TIRE SPACE MORE
SUSTAINABLE.
BACK TO YOU.
>> >> Rhiannon: YOU KNOW WE LOVE
YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.

SAMURAI," AND "JOHN WICK 4."
PLEASE WELCOME HIROYUKI SANADA.
WELCOME.
WE ARE SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU.

YOU CAN TELL HOW EXCITED
EVERYONE IS.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> Rhiannon: FIRST OF ALL,
CONGRATULATIONS.
THE SHOW IS A HUGE SUCCESS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Rhiannon: YOU ARE A STAR OF
THE SHOW.
YOU’RE ALSO A PRODUCER OF THE
SHOW.
SO DOUBLE SUCCESS FOR YOU.
TELL US ABOUT IT.
WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING IN FRONT OF
THE CAMERA AND BEHIND THE CAMERA
OF SUCH A SMASH SUCCESS?
>> UNBELIEVABLY GREAT REACTION,
AND GOOD SURPRISE FOR ME, AND I
REALLY ENJOY IT EVERY DAY
ON SET.
YOU KNOW, GOING TO THE STUDIO OR
LOCATION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
DAY, AND CHECKING EVERYTHING,
PROPS, DECORATION, EXTRAS,
COSTUMES, AND BRINGING THE CREW
AND CAST IN, AND THEN REHEARSE.
THEN GO BACK TO TRAILER AND THEN
PUT ON THE WIG, BACK AND FORTH.
SO REALLY ENJOY.
YEAH.
>> Dr. Jen: IT’S SUCH A GREAT
SHOW AND UNLIKE WILL WHO IS WAY
INTO THE SERIES, I JUST STARTED
LAST WEEK.
IT’S INCREDIBLE.
70% IS ACTUALLY IN JAPANESE.
THERE IS AN ENGLISH DUB OPTION,
BUT I’M WATCHING IT IN JAPANESE
WITH THE SUBTITLES.
>> YEAH.
>> Dr. Jen: WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT
FOR YOU TO TELL THE STORY IN
JAPANESE?
>> YES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE
STORY ABOUT JAPAN, THEN WE TRIED
TO MAKE AUTHENTIC AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE.
SO JAPANESE SPEAK JAPANESE WITH
SUBTITLES, AND IN ALL OTHER
FOREIGN LANGUAGES GOING TO
ENGLISH, TRYING NOT TO MAKE TOO
MUCH COMPLICATED.
SO WE TRIED TO GET THE BEST
BALANCE.
>> Will: AND YEAH HAVING, YOU
KNOW, I’M ACTUALLY ONE EPISODE
BEHIND.
DON’T TELL ANYONE, BUT HAVING
WATCHED THE SHOW, IT IS EASY
ENOUGH TO FOLLOW, BUT IT’S SET
IN, WHAT IS IT?
17th CENTURY FUTILE JAPAN, NOT
SOMEWHERE THAT I’VE EVER BEEN,
BUT THE SCENERY IS INCREDIBLE.
THE VISUAL LOCATIONS ARE
STUNNING AND THEY’RE A HUGE
ELEMENT OF THE SHOW ITSELF, BUT
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, YOU
WEREN’T ABLE TO SHOOT IN JAPAN.
YOU SHOT ELSEWHERE, SLIGHTLY
CLOSER TO HOME.
TELL US ABOUT WHERE YOU SHOT AND
WHY.
>> WE’VE SHOT IN ALL IN
VANCOUVER.
>> Will: OKAY.
>> I NEVER SHOT ANY IN JAPANESE
COUNTRY, BUT IT WAS PANDEMIC.
WE PLANNED TO SHOOT IN JAPAN AT
THE MOMENT, BUT WE COULDN’T, BUT
LUCKILY VANCOUVER HAD
EVERYTHING.
ESPECIALLY IT WAS A 50-MINUTE
DRIVE FROM THE STUDIO.
THEY HAD A FOREST, RIVER,
VILLAGE WITHOUT ANY MODERNIZED
BUILDING OR WIRE AND POLE.
SO IT WAS PERFECT.
I THINK BETTER THAN JAPAN TO
MAKE SOME MOVIES NOW.
>> Rhiannon: WOW.
THAT’S INCREDIBLE.
BETTER THAN JAPAN EVEN.
I’VE ONLY SEEN CLIPS, AND IT’S
SUCH —
>> Will: YOU HAVE HOMEWORK NOW.
>> Rhiannon: YEAH.
I HAVE A LOT OF HOMEWORK TO DO,
BUT DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA IT WAS
GOING TO BE THIS HUGE OF A
SUCCE
SUCCESS?
IT’S EVERYWHERE.
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
>> I NEVER EXPECTED, LIKE, THIS
MUCH, BUT I’M SO HAPPY AND ALSO
SAD NOW BECAUSE THIS IS THE
FINALE DAY.
SO, YOU KNOW, I CANNOT DO
ANYTHING FOR THIS SHOW ANYMORE,
BUT HAPPY TO RELEASE TO THE
WORLD.

AND RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE,
THE NEW DRAMATIC TESTIMONY
IN THE CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY
TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP.
WHAT A FORMER TABLOID PUBLISHER
.
THE COURT HOW ABOUT THE FIRST
STORY HE SAYS HE BURIED AS PART
OF THIS ALLEGED CATCH AND KILL
AGREEMENT WITH THE FORMER
PRESIDENT OF THE PROTESTERS
RALLYING ON CAMPUSES AGAIN
TODAY IN RESPONSE TO THE
ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR.
THE NEW SECURITY STEPS FROM
MAJOR UNIVERSITIES, ALSO
THE NEW MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT
SURROUNDING THE CRIMES
OF DISGRACED GYMNASTICS LARRY
NASSAR, HOW MUCH THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT HAS AGREED TO PAY
MORE THAN 100 OF HIS VICTIMS
FOR THE FBI FAILURES
IN HANDLING THAT CASE.
BUT WE DO BEGIN HERE TONIGHT
WITH DONALD TRUMP DEFIANT
AGAIN, AS COURT WRAPPED UP FOR
THE DAY IN HIS HISTORIC HUSH
MONEY TRIAL IN NEW, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT BLASTING THE GAG
ORDER AGAINST HIM, CLAIMING
THAT IT PREVENTS HIM FROM
DEFENDING HIMSELF WHEN OTHER
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HIM.
>> SO THEY CAN TALK
ABOUT MONEY, THEY CAN SAY
WHATEVER THEY WANT, THEY CAN
LIE.
BUT I’M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY
THAT.
IS THAT TO SIT BACK AND LOOK
AT ANY CONFLICT.
IT JUST GETS ME TO HAVE A GAG
ORDER.
I DON’T THINK ANYONE
IS INTERESTED IN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS.
>> WELL, EARLIER, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER"
DAVID PECKER RETURNING TO THE
STAND AND DESCRIBING THE FIRST
STORY THAT HE SAYS HE BURIED
AS PART OF THIS ALLEGED CATCH
KILL AGREEMENT WITH TRUMP
PECKER, SAYING THAT HE PAID
$30,000 TO SUPPRESS A FALSE
STORY ABOUT TRUMP WAS IN 2015.
THAT INVOLVED CLAIMS THAT THE
THEN REAL ESTATE MOGUL FATHERED
AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD WITH A
MAID AT TRUMP TOWER.
PECKER TESTIFYING THAT TRUMP
DENIED THIS STORY THROUGH
HIS FORMER LAWYER, MICHAEL
COHEN, AND EVEN OFFERED TO TAKE
A DNA TEST.
JOINING ME FOR MORE ON THIS
IS OUR ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN, ALONG
WITH NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR
AND LAW PROFESSOR KIM WEHLE.
SO, LADIES, THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE WITH US.
>> AND OLIVIA, I MEAN,
WHAT MORE DO WE LEARN FROM
PACKER’S TESTIMONY TODAY?
WHAT ELSE DID HE SAY ABOUT HOW
TRUMP REACTED AT THE TIME
TO HIM KILLING STORY?
>> WELL, THE EXACT WORDS CAME
OUT WHERE THE BOSS BE VERY
HAPPY.
THAT IS WHAT DAVID PECKER
TESTIFIED THAT MICHAEL COHEN
TOLD HIM WHEN HE SAID THAT HE
WAS GOING TO BE PURCHASING
THE STORY FROM THIS DOORMAN
THAT HE PERSONALLY WOULD
BE PAYING $30,000, NOT DONALD
TRUMP, NOT MICHAEL COHEN,
BUT HIS HIS TABLOID,
"THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER", WOULD
PAY THE MONEY AND THE WOULD
GO AWAY.
AND AS YOU SAID, THE BOSS
WILL BE VERY HAPPY.
AND I DO THINK IT’S SO
INTERESTING, DANA, BECAUSE
WHAT DAVID SAID IS, YOU KNOW,
THEY’RE TRYING TO PARSE OUT
IS THIS IF THE STORY REAL OR
NOT, IS THAT HE BOUGHT IT,
OF COURSE, THEN FIGURES THAT IT
WASN’T REAL.
I WANT PROSECUTORS ASKED HIM
IN FRONT OF THE JURY WAS WHY
PAY $30,000 FOR A FAKE STORY?
AND DAVID PECKER WAS VERY
CLEAR ABOUT IT.
HE SAID, BECAUSE WE WERE
WORRIED IT WOULD GO ELSEWHERE,
ANOTHER NEWSPAPER WOULD
GET WIND OF IT AND IT WOULD
BE DAMAGING FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
AND IT WAS ESSENTIALLY LOCK IT
UP.
AND DAVID PACKER SAID, THAT’S
RIGHT.
IT WAS TO LOCK IT AND HE EVEN
HAD IT ADDED ON THAT.
IF THE STORY HAD BEEN TRUE,
HE WOULD HAVE HELD ON TO IT
AND NOT PUBLISHED IT UNTIL
AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION, EVEN
THOUGH HE CONCEDED THAT IT
WOULD PROBABLY, IN HIS WORDS,
WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST
SELLING STORY FOR PAPER SINCE
THE DEATH OF ELVIS PRESLEY.
SO IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF HOW
VALUABLE THESE STORIES WERE,
YET STILL THEY’RE BUYING THEM.
AND THAT’S SUCH A GOOD POINT.
OLIVIA RIGHT.
VALUABLE.
TRUE OR UNTRUE.
>> SO, KIM, WHAT’S YOUR TAKE
ON THAT?
>> WELL, I THINK THAT THE KEY
WORD THAT OLIVIA JUST USED
IS THE WORD CAMPAIGN, THAT THE
POINT OF THIS SCHEME AND IT
WASN’T JUST STORMY DANIELS.
I MEAN, WE’RE STARTING OTHER
PARTS OF THIS SORT OF LOCK DOWN
PROCESS TO KEEP INFORMATION
ABOUT THESE DAMAGING STORIES,
WHETHER TO OR UNTRUE FROM
THE VOTERS FROM THE ELECTION
FROM THE FROM THE OPPONENTS,
FROM HIS CRITICS, SO THAT THESE
ASPECTS OF HIS LIFE, TRUE OR
UNTRUE, DON’T GET IN THE PUBLIC
AND DON’T POTENTIALLY HURT
THE CAMPAIGN.
THAT IS THE CRITICAL ELEMENT
OF THIS ENTIRE CASE.
>> DOES IT IS IT LINKED
TO SILENCE CRITICS AROUND
THE CAMPAIGN?
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT GETS IN TO
THE POTENTIAL ELECTION LAW
VIOLATIONS WHICH GETS THESE
OF RECORDS FROM A MISDEMEANOR
TO A FELONY.
SO THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION
LINKING TO THE CAMPAIGN
AND ALSO TO DONALD
TRUMP HIMSELF.
>> ALL RIGHT, OLIVIA AND KIM,
OUR THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU.
I WANT TO MOVE NOW TO THE
PROTESTS ERUPTING ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
NEW INFORMATION TO OUR NEWSROOM
NOW.
THAT HARVARD YARD IS NOW
CLOSING THROUGH FRIDAY RESPONSE
TO THESE DEMONSTRATIONS.
WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME VIDEO
FROM COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
THIS IS IN NEW YORK CITY WHERE
DEMONSTRATORS HAVE SET UP
ENCAMPMENTS NOT SHOWING SIGNS
OF LEAVING DESPITE MORE 100
PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED LAST
WEEK.
COLUMBIA HAS MOVED TO REMOTE
CLASSES FOR THE REST OF THE
SEMESTER.
A PH.D. STUDENT WHO WAS TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY AND THEN LATER
SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY.
COLUMBIA TELLING ABC NEWS THAT
THERE’S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION
IN THEIR OPINION ABOUT THESE
DEMONSTRATIONS.
>> TAKE A LISTEN.
IT IS, I THINK, ACCUMULATION
OF SUPPORTING PALESTINIAN
RIGHTS WITH ANTI-SEMITISM, JUST
BECAUSE I THINK THAT PALESTINE
SHOULD BE FREE.
AND PALESTINIANS
BE EXPERIENCING AND STARVATION
DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM AGAINST
JEWISH PEOPLE OR AGAINST
THE STATE OF ISLAM.
>> WELL THERE ARE ALSO 150
PEOPLE ARRESTED AMID
DEMONSTRATIONS AT NYU.
STUDENTS AND FACULTY WERE AMONG
THOSE PUT IN HANDCUFFS AFTER
SCHOOL OFFICIALS ASKED THE NYPD
FOR HELP CLEARING OUT THIS
PLAZA ON CAMPUS.
JOINING ME FOR MORE ON THIS
IS ABCNEWS.COM RAMOS, WHO’S
LIVE FOR US AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY AND HAS BEEN
COVERING THIS STORY.
STEPHANIE, THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE.
LOOK, THESE PROTESTS
HAVE CONTINUED DESPITE, AS WE
MENTIONED, THE ARRESTS AND THE
POLICE PRESENCE.
SO WHAT STILL ARE THESE
STUDENTS HOPING TO ACHIEVE?
WELL, MANY OF THE
PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMONSTRATORS
THAT HAVE SPOKEN TO CONTINUE
ON THIS CAMPUS HERE AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY.
THEY’RE NOT BUDGING UNTIL
THE UNIVERSITY ACTS.
THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT LEAVING.
THEY SAY POLICE WILL HAVE
TO FORCIBLY REMOVE THEM IF
THE ADMINISTRATION HERE WANTS
TO SEE THEM GONE.
AND THEY SAY THEY WANT
UNIVERSITY TO DIVEST FROM
COMPANIES THEY SAY
ARE PROFITING FROM ISRAEL.
BUT AGAIN, WE WERE JUST
ON CAMPUS A FEW MOMENTS AGO
AT THE OF CAMPUS IS WHERE
THAT ENCAMPMENT IS.
AND JUST TO KEEP IN MIND,
THE HERE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
IS SCHEDULED FOR ABOUT THREE
WEEKS FROM NOW.
SO THERE ARE WORKERS RIGHT NOW
ON THE CAMPUS SETTING UP FOR
THAT GRADUATION CHAIRS,
ASTROTURF.
BUT THEY ARE WORKING THIS GROUP
AROUND THAT LAWN AREA WHERE
ENCAMPMENT IS SET UP.
BUT AGAIN, THOSE STUDENTS
TELLING US THEY’RE NOT LEAVING
.
SO AT THIS CLOCK TICKING
TO THESE MAJOR COMMENCEMENTS
CEREMONIES, STEPHANIE, ARE THE
SCHOOLS DOING ANYTHING TO TRY
TO QUELL OR CALM THINGS DOWN
AND PUT AN END TO THESE
PROTESTS?
>> WELL HERE IN COLUMBIA, TODAY
AT LEAST HAS BEEN RELATIVELY
CALM, BUT WE HAVE SEEN
A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SECURITY
AND.
NYPD OFFICERS ARE SET UP AROUND
THE CAMPUS.
THEY HAVE A COMMAND CENTER
ACTUALLY JUST SET UP ABOUT A
BLOCK AWAY FROM HERE.
ALSO PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS,
WE’VE NOTICED THEM ON CAMPUS.
BUT THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE DOING
RIGHT NOW.
THEY’RE NOT TRYING TO THE
UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN TRYING
FORCIBLY REMOVE ANY OF THE
DEMONSTRATORS OUT HERE OF THE
GATES.
THERE HAVEN’T BEEN ANY GROUPS
REALLY GATHERING, THE THIN
ONES, EVEN TWO THINGS HERE,
HERE AND THERE.
BUT NO LARGE GROUPS HERE
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY OUTSIDE
OF THE CAMPUS ON, THE CAMPUS,
THAT’S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
STORY.
BUT AGAIN, IT IS VERY CONTAINED
AT THE CENTER OF CAMPUS.
>> AND AS YOU’RE TALKING, WE
ARE SHOWING THAT FLYOVER VIDEO
OF EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE
DESCRIBING THERE.
STEPHANIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING WITH US TODAY.
ALSO NOW TO THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT AGREEING TO PAY
MORE THAN $138 MILLION TO A
GROUP OF SURVIVORS WHO SAY
THEY WERE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
BY U.S. GYMNASTICS OFFICIAL
AND SPORTS PHYSICIAN DR. LARRY
NASSAR.
THE SETTLEMENT COMES TWO AND
A HALF YEARS AFTER THE FBI
PUBLICLY ADMITTED AGENTS FAILED
TO TAKE QUICK ACTION
WITH ATHLETES FROM.
THE U.S. NATIONAL TEAM
COMPLAINED ABOUT NASSAR
AND THEY COMPLAINED TO THE
INDIAN APPELÉS FIELD OFFICE
IN 2015.
NASSAR WAS THE TEAM DOCTOR, USA
GYMNASTICS FOR 18 YEARS, AND HE
IS ACCUSED OF ABUSING MORE THAN
150 YOUNG WOMEN AND ADMITTED
TO MOLESTING SOME THE NATION’S
TOP GYMNASTS FOR YEARS UNDER
THE GUISE OF TREATMENT.
HE IS CURRENTLY SERVING DECADES
IN PRISON FOR CONVICTIONS,
STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS.
I WANT TO BRING IN OUR
ABC NEWS CHIEF JUSTICE
CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS FOR
MORE ON THIS.
PIERRE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
WITH US.
AND WHAT MORE YOU TELL US ABOUT
THIS SETTLEMENT AND HOW MANY
VICTIMS WILL BE COMPENSATED?
KENNETH 139 VICTIMS, $138.7
MILLION.
SO ROUGHLY $1,000,000,
A LITTLE BIT OVER MILLION
DOLLARS PER VICTIM.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, SOME OF
THE MONEY PROBABLY GOING TO THE
LEGAL REPRESENTATION.
WELL.
THIS WAS A DARK CHAPTER IN THE
OF THE FBI, A STUNNING FAILURE
IN ITS CORE MISSION, WHICH
IS TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT
AND VULNERABLE, AS YOU SAID.
THE FBI WAS TOLD BY THESE WOMEN
THAT THEY WERE BEING, IN SOME
CASES, ASSAULTED BY LARRY
NASSAR.
THE FBI AGENTS FAILED
TO PROPERLY INVESTIGATE
THEIR CLAIMS, DID NOT EVEN
REACH OUT TO THE JURISDICTION
IN WHICH LARRY NASSAR WAS
WORKING AS DOCTOR.
AND AS A CONSEQUENCE, ACCORDING
TO THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
INVESTIGATION, 14 MONTHS WENT
BY AND NO ACTION.
AND IN THAT 14 MONTH PERIOD,
AT LEAST 70 WOMEN AND YOUNG
GIRLS WERE ALLEGEDLY ASSAULTED
BY DR. NASSAR.
AND IT’S TO THINK HOW THIS
CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE OF U.S.
GYMNASTICS HERE.
HAVE HEARD SO FAR FROM ANY
OF THE VICTIMS OR
THEIR REPRESENTATIVES,
HAVE THEY RESPONDED TO THIS
SETTLEMENT YET?
WE DID GET A STATEMENT FROM
THEIR ATTORNEYS TALKING
ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY PAIN
THAT THESE WOMEN HAVE GONE
AND THAT THIS SETTLEMENT IS A
MEASURE OF JUSTICE.
BUT NOT COMPLETELY RESOLVE
THE HEALING THAT THEY NEED
TO CONTINUE TO DO.
CLEARLY, THIS IS A CASE
OF PROMINENT PEOPLE IN THIS
CASE.
AND ONE OF THE YOUNG WOMEN I’LL
NEVER FORGET FROM
THEIR CONGRESSIONAL,
THEY BASICALLY SAID, WHAT DOES
IT MEAN WHEN PEOPLE LIKE US WHO
ARE PROMINENT ATHLETES COME
TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
WITH ALLEGATIONS OF ASSAULT
AND NOTHING IS DONE?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR
THE AVERAGE PERSON WHO DOES NOT
HAVE THAT SORT OF BACKGROUND
AND NOTORIETY, IF YOU WILL?
IT’S AN INCREDIBLE, STARK
COMPARISON.
I MEAN, THOSE ATHLETES ARE SOME
OF THE BEST KNOWN IN THE
WORLD NOW.
PIERRE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
YOUR REPORTING.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
ALSO NOW TO PRESIDENT BIDEN.
HE’S TAKING HIS MESSAGE
ABOUT ABORTION RIGHTS
TO FLORIDA.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP,
REVERSING ROE VERSUS WADE.
>> THIS EXTREME FLORIDA LAW
IS GOING TO AFFECT 4 MILLION,
4 MILLION WOMEN IN THE STATE
OF FLORIDA.

GRANDMOTHERS BECAUSE OF DONALD
TRUMP.
WELL, VOTERS IN THE SUNSHINE
STATE ARE GEARING UP FOR
A BALLOT MEASURE THAT ENSHRINE

CONSTITUTION THIS NOVEMBER.
ABC NEWS CHIEF WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE

>> WELL, PRESIDENT BIDEN
IS THAT THE ISSUE OF ABORTION
WILL HELP DRIVE VOTERS TO THE
POLLS IN NOVEMBER ESPECIALLY
IN CRITICAL STATES HERE LIKE
FLORIDA.
AND HE’S NOW TRYING TO SEIZE
THIS MOMENT ARGUING THAT THESE
RESTRICTIONS THAT WE ARE NOW
SEEING ON ACCESS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY ARE DONALD TRUMP’S
FAULT.
THAT THE ARGUMENT THAT THE
PRESIDENT IS MAKING HERE,
NOTING THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS
DRAGGED AND BOASTED
ABOUT APPOINTING THREE OF
THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES
TO OVERTURN ROE.
THE PRESIDENT SAYING BLUNTLY
THAT WHILE DONALD TRUMP ARGUES
THIS IS AN ISSUE NOW UP TO THE
STATES, THE PRESIDENT SAYS
THAT HIS RIVAL WANTS TO TAKE
WOMEN’S RIGHTS BACKWARDS.
NOW, THIS WAS THE PRESIDENT’S
FIRST MAJOR CAMPAIGN EVENT
ON THIS ISSUE HERE IN TAMPA
TODAY.
IT COMES ONE WEEK BEFORE
FLORIDA IS SET TO BAN ABORTIONS
AT.
SIX WEEKS FOR MANY WOMEN, EVEN
THOUGH THEY ARE PREGNANT,
WITH THE FOURTH EXCEPTION FOR

NOW FAR, THE CAMPAIGN IS LED
BY VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS
LEADING THE ON THIS ISSUE.
BUT THE PRESIDENT IS WELL AWARE
THAT THIS ISSUE WILL CRITICAL

MOMENT?
YEAH, WELL, KATE, AS YOU JUST
SAW THERE, THE SENATORS
RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE DEBATING
THIS, BUT THIS IS EXPECTED
TO PASS WITH BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT.
THE QUESTION IS EXACTLY WHEN.
IT COULD BE AS EARLY AS TONIGHT
OR IT COULD DRAG INTO TOMORROW
NIGHT.
BUT THE REASON WHY THERE’S SO
MUCH SUPPORT FOR THIS
IS BECAUSE A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AGO, THE SENATE HAD
ACTUALLY PASSED THEIR OWN
VERSION OF THIS FOREIGN AID
BILL.
ALSO, $95 BILLION.
BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN WHAT
THEY’RE VOTING FOR NOW IS THAT
IT INCLUDES THAT TIK TOK BAN.
BUT LOOK, NOT ALL SENATORS
ARE HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
I WAS TALKING WITH HARDLINE
REPUBLICANS WHO SAID
THEY’RE AGAINST SENDING ANY
MORE AID TO UKRAINE.
I SPOKE TO SENATOR SCHMIDT.
HE SAID HE WANTS TO SEE
MORE ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN IT
COMES TO THE BILLIONS DOLLARS
THAT ARE GOING TO UKRAINE.
HE WANTS TO KNOW WHEN THE END
DATE OF THE IS GOING TO BE.
THEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE
PROGRESSIVE SIDE, THERE
ARE SOME SENATORS, INCLUDING
BERNIE SANDERS, WHO ARE AGAINST
SENDING MORE UNCONDITIONAL AID
TO ISRAEL.
BUT DESPITE SOME OF
THAT PUSHBACK, SOME OF
THE DEBATE YOU’RE SEEING
ON THE SENATE FLOOR RIGHT NOW,
THIS IS EXPECTED PASS AND
THE PRESIDENT COULD SIGN IT
AS SOON AS THIS WEEK.
AND THAT WOULD BE VERY
THAT WOULD BE MOVING REALLY
FAST IF THAT DOES HAPPEN.
CAN TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE,
THOUGH, AS FAR AS THIS
POTENTIAL BAN ON TICK TOCK.
I MEAN, IS THERE STILL
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR THAT?
HOW EXACTLY WOULD IT WORK IF
THIS PASSES?
YEAH, THERE IS BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT FOR THAT, BUT IT’S
GOING TO BE A VERY COMPLICATED
PROCESS.
SO ESSENTIALLY THE LEGISLATION
SAYS THAT IF TIKTOK IS NOT SOLD
WITHIN A YEAR, BYTEDANCE’S,
A CHINESE COMPANY DOESN’T FIND
A SELLER IN A YEAR, THEN
THE APP WILL BE BANNED IN THE
U.S. BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO BE
THAT SIMPLE BECAUSE FIRST
OF ALL, TIKTOK IS GOING
TO FIGHT THIS AS HARD AS THEY
CAN IN THE COURTS.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT COULD
ALSO BLOCK A SALE.
I’M ALSO TOLD THAT IT’S GOING
TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE STICKER
.
SO SOME SOURCES TELL ME THAT IT
COULD BE MORE LIKELY
THAT TIKTOK WOULD
ACTUALLY PUBLIC.
BUT ON TOP OF THAT, EVEN IF IT
DID GET TO THE POINT, KATE,
WHERE TIKTOK IS BANNED,
IT’S NOT JUST GOING
TO DISAPPEAR FROM EVERYONE’S.
INSTEAD, IT COULD DIE A VERY
SLOW DEATH WHERE IT’S BANNED
IN APP STORE SO THE USERS
CAN’T GET IT AND EXISTING USERS
CANNOT GET UPDATES KYRA.
ALL RIGHT, SELINA WANG
ON CAPITOL HILL, US, THANK
YOU SO MUCH.

THEY THINK HE MIGHT BE HEADED

THIS IS AFTER INVESTIGATORS SAY

HE RESIGNED FROM THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT BACK IN 2021 AFTER,
ACCORDING TO THE P.D.,
HE’S FACING DISCIPLINE, HE WAS
ALREADY FACING CHARGES FROM
A FEBRUARY INCIDENT.
HE’S CHARGED WITH CHILD IN

A YEAR AND A HALF INTO WHERE
THOUSANDS OF THOSE PLASTIC BAGS
ARE EARMARKED TO BE RECYCLED
CAN ACTUALLY END UP.
HERE’S OUR CHIEF
NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT
MATT GUTMAN.
OUR ABC NEWS INVESTIGATION
SHINING A LIGHT FOR THE FIRST
TIME ON HOW SOME OF THE PLASTIC
BAGS EARMARKED RECYCLING
AT WAL-MARTS IN THE U.S. ENDED
UP 9000 MILES AWAY IN SOUTHEAST
ASIA.
IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE
AND UNETHICAL TO BE EXPORTING
PLASTIC WASTE TO OTHER
COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT HAVE A
RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE SET UP
TO HANDLE THIS PLASTIC WASTE.
TRADE IS PART OF A COMPLEX
SYSTEM THAT THE SAYS IS TOO
OFTEN PLAGUED BY ILLEGALITY.
AS PART OF AN 18 MONTH
INVESTIGATION, WE PUT TRACKERS
INTO PLASTIC EARMARKED FOR
RECYCLING AND DROPPED THEM OFF
AT 46 MAJOR RETAIL STORES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
A MAJORITY OF THE BAGS ENDED UP
AT LANDFILLS OR INCINERATORS,
BUT THREE OF THE 19 TRACKED WAS
DROPPED OFF AT WAL-MART.
STORES ENDED IN SOUTHEAST ASIA,
TWO OF THEM IN MALAYSIA, NOT
FAR FROM WHERE POORLY
PAYING LIVES.
>> WE WANT TO LET PEOPLE WHO
SANYA WITH THE MOTIVATION
THAT WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR OVER
A YEAR WAL-MART SAID THEY WERE
WILLING TO TALK BUT NEVER MADE
ANYONE AVAILABLE AN INTERVIEW.
>> SO WE DECIDED TO ATTEND
A CONFERENCE WHERE TWO CHIEFS
SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER WAS
SPEAKING.
>> HI, MR. COHEN.
I’M MATT GUTMAN WITH ABC NEWS.
HOW ARE YOU?
WE ARE DOING A STORY
ABOUT PLASTIC THAT WAS
EARMARKED.
PLASTIC BAGS WERE EARMARKED FOR
RECYCLING BY WAL-MART.
YES.

IN INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA.

FACILITIES YOUR PLASTIC ENDED
UP IN IN INDONESIA.
THAT’S IN MALAYSIA.
I PUT THIS I’D LOVE TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT.
WELL, WE HAVE A ROOM
ACTUALLY RIGHT HERE.

I’M SORRY, IT WOULD BE LET’S
TALK ABOUT IT.
BUT AFTER WEEKS OF BACK

TO TALK ABOUT IT AND DECLINED
TO ANSWER ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS
ABOUT OUR TRACKERS.
INSTEAD, THEY PROVIDED
A STATEMENT THAT SAID IN PART,
WE STRIVE TO DO THE RIGHT
THING, NOTING WHILE
THEIR PROGRAM ISN’T PERFECT, IT
PROVIDES RECYCLING ACCESS TO
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
THEY SAID THEY ARE COMMITTED
TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING
THEIR RECYCLING, INCLUDING
CONTRACTS REQUIRING COMPANIES
PROVE COLLECTED MATERIALS
ARE AS MUCH AS PRACTICABLE.
ALL RIGHT.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT BLASTING
THE GAG ORDER AGAINST HIM,
CLAIMING THAT IT PREVENTS HIM
FROM DEFENDING HIMSELF WHEN
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT SO
THEY CAN TALK MONEY, THEY CAN
SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT,
THEY CAN LIKE.
>> BUT I’M NOT TO SAY THAT TO
SIT BACK AND LOOK AT MY ANY
CONFLICT IN GENERAL.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO ME TO HAVE
A CASE.
>> I DON’T THINK ANYONE
IS INTERESTED IN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS.
>> WELL, EARLIER, FORMER
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" PUBLISHER
DAVID PECKER RETURNING TO THE
STAND DESCRIBING THE FIRST
STORY THAT HE SAYS HE BURIED
PART OF THIS ALLEGED CATCH
AND KILL AGREEMENT WITH TRUMP
PECKER, SAYING THAT HE PAID
$30,000 TO SUPPRESS A FALSE
ABOUT TRUMP.
THIS WAS IN 2015.
THEY SAY IT INVOLVED CLAIMS
THAT THE REAL ESTATE MOGUL
FATHERED AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD
WITH, A MAID AT TRUMP TOWER.
PECKER TESTIFYING THAT TRUMP
DENIED THIS STORY THROUGH
HIS FORMER LAWYER, MICHAEL
COHEN, AND ALSO OFFERED TO A
DNA TEST.
JOINING ME FOR MORE ON THIS
IS CRIMINAL DEFENSE
ATTORNEY AND FEDERAL PROSECUTOR
TIM JANSEN.
TIM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE WITH US.
AND FIRST, I GUESS I’D LOVE
TO HEAR YOUR TAKE THERE
THAT REALLY HE TESTIFIED TODAY
THAT TRUE OR UNTRUE, HE WAS
GOING TO CATCH KILL THE STORY
BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN
EMBARRASSING FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
>> OH, I THINK THAT’S RIGHT.
I THINK HE DOES HAVE A RIGHT TO
DEFEND HIMSELF.
HE SAID HE DIDN’T DO IT.
YOU KNOW, CAMPAIGNS
AND POLITICIANS ALWAYS
HAVE CATCH AND KILL.
RIGHT.
YOU HAVE ORGANIZATIONS
THAT HELP CANDIDATES
GET ELECTED.
CATCH AND KILL BY ITSELF IS NOT
ILLEGAL.
IT’S DONE ALL THE TIME.
PEOPLE HIRE OPPOSITION RESEARCH
FIRMS AND PARTIES ALIGNED
WITH CERTAIN CANDIDATES,
AND IT’S DONE DAY.
>> CATCH AND KILL.
AND SO WHAT ARE PROSECUTORS
ARGUING HERE?
THAT VAN DOES MAKE IT ILLEGAL
THAT DOES MAKE IT A FELONY.
IS IT ABOUT THE TIMELINE HERE?
HE ALSO TESTIFIED THAT PRIOR
TO THE 2016 ELECTION THAT THEY
NEVER DID THAT THEY NEVER
PRACTICE THIS CATCH AND KILL.
>> WELL, TRUMP HAD THESE CATCH
AND KILLS ALL HIS CAREER
WITH OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE
HIS LIFESTYLE AND HIS MONEY.
WHAT THE CRIME HERE IS THE
BOOKS, FALSIFICATION OF THE
BOOKS AND THE ENTRIES THAT THEY
CLAIM VIOLATE STATE LAW, TRY
TO INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION.
>> PACKER IS JUST THE BEGINNING
,A CHRONOLOGICAL BEGINNING.
HE’S NOT THE LEADER OF THE CASE
EVERYTHING THAT HE DID.
IT’S NOT, PER SE, ILLEGAL
PEOPLE ARE GIVING HIM
CREDIBILITY WHEN THEY REALLY
SHOULDN’T.
HE RAN THIS THIS MAGAZINE
THAT HAS BEEN SO MANY TIMES.
HE’S ADMITTED THAT HE PAYS
STORIES, UNLIKE MOST MEDIA.
SO HE’S NOT THE MOST CREDIBLE,
BUT HE’S NOT THE LEAST
CREDIBLE.
RIGHT.
SO PUT THE MOST CREDIBLE
COMPARISON.
THE OTHER WITNESSES UP FIRST
AND HE SETS THE TABLE.
NOW WE’LL SEE WHERE IT GOES
FROM THERE.
>> YES.
SO THEN ARE YOU WHEN YOU TALK
ABOUT CREDIBILITY HERE, I MEAN,
ARE YOU DIRECTLY COMPARING HIM
TO MICHAEL COHEN,
HIS CREDIBILITY BEEN
OPENLY QUESTIONED.
PEOPLE HAVE CALLED HIM A LIAR.
AND SO IN TERMS THAT IS
THAT WHY THIS TIMELINE IS SO
IMPORTANT THAT PECKER TESTIFY
FIRST?
>> I WILL TELL YOU WHAT
YOU ALWAYS WANT.
START OFF GOOD.
LIKE IN BASEBALL, YOU WANT
A LEADOFF HITTER THAT’S GOING
TO START WELL.
I WOULD LOVE TO CROSS-EXAMINE
MICHAEL COHEN OR STORMY DANIELS
.
MICHAEL COHEN IS THE EPITOME
OF A TERRIBLE WITNESS.
NO CREDIBILITY.
STORMY DANIELS BASICALLY WAS
TRYING TO EXTORT TRUMP WHEN
HE STARTED TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
SO, YES I WOULD SAY THAT PECKER
IS PROBABLY THE BEST WITNESS
OF THE THREE, THE MOST
CREDIBLE.
>> THAT’S SO FASCINATING.
BUT ALSO, I WANT YOUR OPINION
HERE ON GAG ORDER.
APPARENTLY, IT WAS PRETTY
CONTENTIOUS IN THERE TODAY WHEN
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE GAG
ORDER.
THE JUDGE SAID, YOU KNOW,
I’M NOT GOING RULE ON THIS FROM
THE BENCH.
>> HOW DO YOU SEE THAT PLAYING
OUT?
>> THOSE ARE TOUGH THINGS
BECAUSE THE JUDGE REALIZES
HE’S A FINE LINE HERE.
>> HE’S NOT HE DOESN’T HAVE A
NORMAL DEFENDANT HAS A GUY
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT,
UNITED STATES.
>> HE DOES HAVE A CHANCE
CAMPAIGN.
HE’S GOT TWO OF THE STATE’S
WITNESSES THAT ARE GOING OUT
THEIR DAILY MALIGNING HIM.
SO IT’S NOT LIKE EITHER SIDE
CLEAN HANDS.
THE JUDGE HAS TO DO SOMETHING.
BUT HAD THE FIRST AMENDMENT
VERSUS CONTROLLING THE COURT.
I AND THE JUDGE WOULD RULE
TODAY.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD TAKE
ARGUMENTS AND HE’LL COME DOWN
AND SPLIT IT DOWN THE MIDDLE
AND PROBABLY ISSUE A FINE FOR
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THE COUNT.
PROBABLY NOT ALL OF THEM.
ISSUE A FINE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I KNOW THAT WE’LL
BE WATCHING OF THIS VERY
CLOSELY.
TIM JOHNSON, THANK YOU,
AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
AND YOUR ANALYSIS.
I WANT TO BRING OUR BIG STORY
NOW TO OUR PANEL HERE.
SO JOINING US TODAY IS OUR
ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND OP ED
COLUMNIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES
TIMES.
L.Z. GRANDERSON,
DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST
AND FOER SPECIAL ASSISTANT
TO THE PRESIDENT AND
DIRECTOR MESSAGE PLANNING FOR
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION,
MEGAN HAYES,
ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER
ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY, FORMER
CHAIRMAN FOR THE HOUSE HOMELAND
SECURITY COMMITTEE, JOHN KATKO,
AND ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR
AND LAW PROFESSOR KIM WEHLE.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I’LL BE SMART PEOPLE JOINING
US ON THIS PANEL.
I LOVE IT.
KEN, LET’S START WITH YOU.
I’D LOVE TO GET YOUR REACTION
HERE TO WHAT TIM SAID AND
HOW HE KIND OF THINKS THAT THE
JUDGE MIGHT IN TERMS OF THE GAG
ORDER, THE JUDGE MIGHT GO RIGHT
DOWN THE MIDDLE HERE, KIND
OF CUT IT IN HALF.
>> WELL, I THINK THE JUDGE
I AGREE COMPLETELY.
THE JUDGE HAS TO DO SOMETHING,
BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP IS JUST
THUMBING HIS NOSE AT IT
AND STATING OUTSIDE
THE COURTHOUSE THAT HE IS HE’S
BEING SILENCED AND HE
CAN’T SPEAK.
THAT’S JUST NOT ACCURATE.
THE THE GAG ORDER IS NOT
THAT BROAD.
IT’S NARROW.
AND I DON’T THINK HIS LAWYER
HAD A GOOD DEFENSE OF IT.
THE JUDGE ASKED SPECIFICALLY,
TELL ME THE THINGS THAT YOU
WERE RESPONDING TO.
I ASKED MANY TIMES.
HE SAID, I’M PARAPHRASING
AND DONALD TRUMP’S LAWYERS
COULD NOT SAY WHY HE WAS DOING
THAT.
SO THAT SAID, THERE’S NOT A LOT
OF MUSCLE THAT CAN THAT CAN
BE INTO ENSURING HE COMPLIES.
SO, YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW
THAT A FINAL MAKE AN IMPACT.
I HOPE HIS LAWYER SITS DOWN
AND SAYS THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR
YOU.
>> WE’VE GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD
AND WE DON’T WANT THIS
JUDGE MAD AT US.
THIS IS CERTAINLY A LONG ROAD.
SIX WEEKS AT THE VERY LEAST.
JOHN, TO YOU, AS A FORMER
PROSECUTOR, CAN YOU TELL US HOW
PROSECUTORS IN THIS CASE
ARE TRYING TO INCH FORWARD THIS
FELONY CONVICTION HERE?
I MEAN, IS THIS ALL ABOUT
THE INTENT HERE BEHIND TRUMP’S
ACTIONS?
AND AS YOU HEARD, TIM JANSEN,
REALLY, WHEN YOU NARROW IT
DOWN, IT’S ABOUT THE BOOKS
AND IT’S ABSOLUTELY ABOUT THE
BOOKS.
AND I WILL JUST GIVE IT TO HIM.
CATCH AND KILL WAS NOT A COMMON
OCCURRENCE AMONGST MOST
POLITICIANS BECAUSE
WHAT POLITICIANS DON’T TELL
THEMSELVES IN A SITUATION LIKE
TRUMP’S BANNON REPEATED
IS DOESN’T NEED A CRIME IN THIS
CASE IS WHAT HE DID WITH THE
BOOKS AND HOW HE REFLECTED
THOSE BOOKS.
AND THAT TO ME IT’S KIND OF A
TENUOUS SEND TO GO AFTER FORMER
PRESIDENT UNITED HIS STATEMENT
BETRAYS ME NAME THAT IS
THE CRIME AND WHAT TRUMP’S
GOING TO CAREFUL OF IS EVERY
SINGLE TRIAL I’VE EVER TRIED
TO TRY, A LOT OF BIG ONES.
I’VE NEVER HAD A DEFENDANT TALK
TO THE MEDIA IN DOWN THE JUDGE
OR MAN DOWN THE PROCESS LIKE
THIS GUY HAS, AND HE’S
WITH FIRE HERE.
AND I RECKON THE JUDGE SHOWING
GREAT RESTRAINT SO FAR.
>> RIGHT.
HE’S SPEAKING TO CAMERAS
AND BEFORE AND AFTER.
BUT THEN HE’S ALSO GOING
ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND SAYING
THINGS ARE AS WELL ARE BEING
CALLED INTO QUESTION.
L.Z., TO YOU, WHEN YOU THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE
AVERAGE AMERICAN VOTER THAT’S
GOING TO GO TO THE POLLS
IN NOVEMBER AND THEN YOU THINK
ABOUT TRUMP’S BASE.
IS THERE AT ALL A POLITICAL
BENEFIT TO HIM BEING HELD
IN CONTEMPT HERE?
>> ONE 1,000%.
IS TRUMP AGAINST THE MACHINE.
EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT HE GETS
TO PRESENT THAT GRIEVANCE,
HE’S GOING TO BENEFIT FROM IT.
THERE IS A LEGAL ARGUMENT
THAT’S BEING HAD, BUT THEN
THERE’S THE, YOU KNOW, SORT
OF PUBLIC OPINION ARGUMENT
THAT’S ALSO BEING ASKED.
AND THE LATTER REALLY WEIGHS
HEAVILY ON HOW PEOPLE FEEL
ABOUT ALL THE CASES AND HOW
THEY FEEL ABOUT TRUMP’S ABILITY
TO BE PRESIDENT UNITED STATES.
SO I THINK WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN
,A MEDIA PERSPECTIVE IS THAT,
ONE, WE KEEP THE FOCUS ON WHAT
THIS IS ACTUALLY ABOUT AND NOT
KEEP DISTRACTING OURSELVES
BY TRUMP AND ALSO NOT
GET DISTRACTED BY STORMY
DANIELS BEING CALLED A HUSH
MONEY CAKE.
THIS IS ABOUT ELECTION
INTERFERENCE.
THIS IS ABOUT COOKING THE BOOKS
.
>> ALL RIGHT.
AND MEGAN, TO YOU, LET’S TALK
ABOUT THE SPLIT THAT PLAYED OUT
TODAY.
RIGHT.
TRUMP IS IN COURT.
MEANWHILE, BIDEN IN FLORIDA
TALKING ABOUT ABORTION.
WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, DO
YOU THINK THESE GENERAL
ELECTION VOTERS ARE TAKING WHEN
THEY LOOK AT THAT SPLIT SCREEN
TODAY RIGHT.
>> I THINK THAT THE BASES
OF BOTH PARTIES AREN’T REALLY
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE
THEIR BASED ON WHERE
THE PRESIDENT IS OR WHERE
THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS.
I DO THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT TRUMP
IS MISSING.
AND TO BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT HE
WANTS TO DO EVERY TIME HE TALKS
TO THE COURT AND TO THE PUBLIC
IN OF THE MEDIA LIKE HE DOES.
BUT I ALSO THINK THAT THAT GAVE
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT THERE
AND FIGHT ON AN ISSUE THAT’S
BEEN PROVEN IN POLLING TO BE
THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE FOR
DEMOCRATS AND ALSO THOSE
UNDECIDED VOTERS THAT ARE
REALLY THOSE BATTLEGROUND
STATES.
YOU KNOW, ARIZONA WAS ONLY WON
BY 10,000 VOTES IN THE
2020 ELECTION.
AND ABORTION THE TOP ISSUE.
SO EVERY MINUTE THAT ABORTION
IS IN THE NEWS, IT’S VERY
GOOD FOR DEMOCRATS, FOR
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN.
BUT IT ALSO YOU KNOW, IT’S GOOD
FOR ALL THE DEMOCRATS, ALL THE
DOWN BALLOT RACES.
>> AND, OF COURSE, AGAIN,
HE WAS SPEAKING IN FLORIDA,
WHERE TRUMP IS A REGISTERED
VOTER HIMSELF.
LZ GRANDERSON MEGAN HUGHES,
KATKO AND KIM WEHLE.

THING IN THE MORNING
AMERICA THIS MORNING AMERICA’S

WHY SO THESE STOCKS

THIS FEELS LIKE REAL.

COUNTERFEIT REALLY THE LOUIS

PLUS, THE ABORTION BAN BATTLE
ACROSS THE NATION.
MORE AMERICANS TURN TO WORLD
NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR.
THE MOST NEWSCAST ON TELEVISION
.
AND WELCOME BACK.
IN TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT,
THE CONTROVERSY OVER THESE
PROTESTS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
HARVARD YARD IS NOW CLOSING
THROUGH FRIDAY IN RESPONSE
TO THESE GROWING DEMONSTRATIONS
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW
YORK CITY.
PROTESTERS HAVE SET UP
ENCAMPMENTS YOU SEE THERE.
THEY’RE NOT ANY SIGNS
OF RETREATING EVEN AFTER
MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE WERE
ARRESTED LAST WEEK.
THERE WERE ALSO 150
PEOPLE ARRESTED AMID THESE
DEMONSTRATIONS, NYU OVERNIGHT.
I WANT TO BRING BACK MY PANEL
HERE, L.Z., MEGAN.
AND JOINING US IS
ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS
XM RADIO HOST MIKE, MUSE.
ALSO, MIKE, YOU KNOW, I’M IN
CALIFORNIA.
THEY’RE OCCUPYING A BUILDING
AT CAL POLY AS WELL.
SO IT DOES SEEM THAT THESE
PROTESTS ARE GROWING.
IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT DO
YOU THINK THAT COLLEGE CAMPUSES
CAN REALISTICALLY HERE TO KEEP
THE PROTESTERS SAFE, TO KEEP
THE STUDENTS SHOULD THEY WANT
TO DO SO WITHOUT GETTING POLICE
INVOLVED?
>> THAT’S NUMBER ONE QUESTION.
WE’RE LIVING IN UNPRECEDENTED
TIMES BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY
IS THE GOOD THING ABOUT COLLEGE
UNIVERSITIES IS THAT
IT’S ALWAYS BEEN THIS THIS
TRAINING GROUND FOR STUDENTS
TO FIND THEIR VOICE, TO FIND
THEIR AGENCIES, TO.
I REMEMBER I WAS A PART
OF NUMEROUS PROTESTS WHEN I WAS
AN UNDERGRAD, BUT THIS
IS HAPPENING AT A TIME WHERE
OUR NATION IS DEEPLY DIVIDED.
WE’RE MOST POLARIZING EVER
ACROSS THE BOARD ON ALL ISSUES
AROUND POLITICS.
AND SO THE DIVISION HAS CREATED
MORE OF A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT.
THEN YOU ADD ON THE ISRAEL
AND HAMAS CONFLICT
THAT HAPPENING ACROSS COLLEGE
CAMPUSES AND IT’S
ONLY INTENSIFYING AS PROTEST
BY DON’T SUPPORT PROTEST WHEN
IT BECOMES RIDDLED WITH HATE
SPEECH AND WHEN IT BECOMES
HARASSMENT AND WHEN YOU CREATE
UNSAFE FOR THE COMMUNITY AROUND
YOU, IT ACTUALLY LOSES POINT
OF THE PROTEST AND THE
MESSAGING GETS LOST OF WHAT
PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY PROTESTING
FOR.
AND SO IT’S BECOME A BIG
DECISION NOW BECAUSE WE’RE
SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,
OUTSIDE FORCES HAVING
HUGE INFLUENCE INTO
THE OUTCOMES OF DECISION
STUDENT DISCIPLINES AND EVEN
WHEN IT COMES UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENTS.
AND SO I THINK THAT’S GOING
TO MAKE IT CHALLENGING BECAUSE
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS ARE NOW
IN THE HOT SEAT OF, A PROTEST
WHERE THAT’S NEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE WITH COLLEGE PROTESTS
AROUND THE COUNTRY.
>> THEY CERTAINLY ARE.
I’M SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP SO
MANY GOOD POINTS THERE, MIKE,
THAT YOU ARE SEEING THESE
PROTESTS, BUT YOU ARE ALSO
SEEING SOME HATE RIDDLED SPEECH
AND ANTI-SEMITIC SIGNAGE.
AND YOU OVERLOOK THOSE THINGS
THAT ARE HAPPENING.
WE’RE ALSO HEARING THAT IT’S
NOT JUST STUDENTS
ARE PROTESTING, THAT PEOPLE
ARE COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE
AS WELL.
ALSO, JOHN, I JUST TO GET
YOUR ASSESSMENT HERE.
>> NO, I THINK MIKE NAILED
THERE, BUT I’LL GO A LITTLE
DEEPER, MORE FUNDAMENTAL,
AND SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, AT THE
OUTSET, OUR COUNTRY, WHEN
THE FUNDAMENTAL THINGS WAS
BEING ABLE TO PETITION
YOUR GOVERNMENT AND RIGHT
TO FREE SPEECH, BUT IT’S NOT
UNFETTERED.
AND ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL
THINGS THAT OUR COUNTRY HAS
ALWAYS BEEN SLAVERY AND THE
RACISM THAT FOLLOWED THAT.
SO FREE SPEECH IS NOT.
WE’VE BEEN STRIVING TO GET PAST
THAT RACIAL PAST.
AND EVERY TIME I SEE A SIGN
THAT SAYS DEATH TO JEWS,
I THINK WHEN THEY SAID THAT THE
CATHOLICS OR WHAT THEY SAY
ADAPT TO ITALIANS, WE’RE GOING
BACKWARDS WHEN WE ALLOW
THAT THAT TYPE OF SPEECH
AND CONDUCT AND HAVING CLASSES
OF CITIZENS FEEL SO THREATENED
THAT THEY CAN’T GO TO SCHOOL OR
DO WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR NORMAL
.
WE ARE TAKING A STEP BACKWARDS
AS A COUNTRY WITH THAT,
AND THERE’S GOT TO BE
SOME DONE.
>> WELL, I WOULD LIKE
THE SAYING AND FOR THOSE SIGNS
TO BE SHOWING DURING PASSOVER
AS.
MEGAN, TO YOU LOOK
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS THOSE
ANTI-SEMITIC PROTESTS.
HE ALSO, THOUGH, REFERS
AS THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT’S
GOING ON WITH THE PALESTINIANS.
SO IS HE TRYING TO SORT OF HAVE
IT BOTH WAYS HERE, OR IS HE
STRIKING THE RIGHT TONE?
>> WELL, I THINK THE PRESIDENT
IS STRIKING THE RIGHT TONE,
BUT I DO THINK THAT THIS ISSUE
CONTINUES TO BE BROUGHT TO THE
FORE.
THE ADMINISTRATION AND IT
WILL BE FRAUGHT WITH THE
CAMPAIGN AS WELL.
THERE’S A HUGE ISSUE HERE
THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO PAY
ATTENTION TO.
POLITICALLY, HE NEEDS THESE
VOTERS.
HE THE YOUTH VOTE.
AND THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT KEEPS
GETTING WORSE AND INCREASINGLY
MORE CHALLENGING TO DEAL WITH.
I ALSO AGREE WITH THE OTHER
TWO PANELISTS THAT THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROTESTING
AND HATE SPEECH HARASSMENT.
AND THE PRESIDENT HAD TO COME
OUT AND CONDEMN
THE ANTI-SEMITISM THAT’S
BEING DISPLAYED ON CAMPUS
BECAUSE IT’S JUST NOT RIGHT.
IT’S NOT APPROPRIATE.
I THINK WAS SAYING WE DON’T
HAVE THINGS THAT THEY DO
TO CATHOLICS ARE DEATH
TO ITALIANS MOVING.
BUT I DO THINK THAT THE
PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO STRIKE
THE RIGHT TONE HERE, BUT IT
IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY
MORE FRAUGHT WITH THE
CHALLENGES AS MOVE INTO
THE ELECTION.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND, L.Z., I MEAN I’D REALLY
JUST LOVE TO GET YOUR TAKE HERE
ON THE ASSESSMENT OF OUR OTHER
PANELISTS AS WE’RE AND SHOWING
SOME OF THIS VIDEO HERE KNOW.
I AGREE WITH A LOT OF THE
SENTIMENTS OF THE OTHER THREE.
THE THING THAT I, YOU KNOW,
SORT OF RAISED MY EYEBROW
ABOUT WAS, WELL, MIKE SAID
ABOUT HOW UNPRECEDENTED THIS
IS.
I DO THINK WE DO HAVE ONE
EXAMPLE WE CAN ALL ON AS A
NATION AND.
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED AT KENT
STATE DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE
VIETNAM WAR, WHICH HE WANTS
TO EVENTUALLY LED TO
SOME DOUBTS OF STUDENTS
ON CAMPUS.
THERE ARE LESSONS THERE FOR US,
YOU KNOW, BOTH GOOD AND BAD,
I BELIEVE, ON CAMPUSES ARE THE
PERFECT BREEDING GROUND FOR
PROTEST.
I BELIEVE THAT PROTEST
INTERRUPT LIFE.
IF YOU HAVE A PROTEST THAT’S
NOT INTERRUPTING, THAT’S NOT
INTERRUPTING LIFE.
YOU DON’T HAVE A PROTEST.
YOU JUST HAVE A MEETING.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE DISCOMFORT
THAT SOCIETY FEELS WHEN
LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE
ARE PROTESTING OR HOLDING
STRIKES, UNION STRIKES, THAT’S
THE POINT OF A PROTEST TO MAKE
YOU UNCOMFORTABLE.
NOW, HOW DO YOU GET
THAT UNCOMFORTABLE DISCOMFORT
FOCUSED AND THE LARGER MESSAGE
TO MY POINT, WHICH
IS REMEMBERING THIS IS ABOUT
THE SUFFERING IN GAZA.
AND I THINK THAT’S WHERE
THE STUDENT, THE STUDENT BODY
NEED TO TALK AMONGST THEMSELVES
AND NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE
ANXIETY OR THE THRILL
OF PROTESTING BECAUSE THEY CAME
THROUGH HIM.
FOR IT TO BE PART OF A MOVEMENT
LIKE THIS AND LOSE TRACK OF THE
ACTUAL REASONS WHY YOU’RE OUT
THERE.
AND THAT’S BECAUSE
YOU’RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
FAMINE AND DISEASE
AND DESTRUCTION THAT HAPPENED
TO THE PEOPLE OF GAZA.
>> AND VERY QUICKLY, MIKE, I DO
WANT TO LET YOU.
YEAH, RESPOND BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, IT’S ONE THING
TO MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE
WITH PROTESTS IS QUITE FOR
SIGNS TO BE ANTI-SEMITIC OR FOR
THINGS TO TURN VIOLENT
IN NATURE.
>> I AM NOT CONVINCED
WHATSOEVER.
YEAH.
YEAH.
WHICH IS WHAT I SAID.
KAINAZ, WANT TO MAKE SURE
THE RECORD IS CLEAR ABOUT WHAT
I SAID?
THAT’S WHAT I SAID.
I’M TALKING ABOUT THE
UNPRECEDENTED NATURE IN THE
SENSE THAT I DID SAY UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENTS HAVE NEVER BEEN
CALLED INTO QUESTION.
AND THE PART I’M TALKING KIND
OF UNPRECEDENTED IS WHEN
YOU HAVE CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS
WITH UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS
AT THE HELM DUE THE PROTEST
AND ACTIVISM THAT IS HAPPENING
ON THE CAMPUS.
WE HAVEN’T THAT INTERSECTION
OF UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS
AND POLITICS.
ONE EXAMPLE THAT WE HAVE SEEN
IS FROM NEW YORK CITY
AND MICHIGAN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
CASE, WHICH IS BOLLINGER.
REGARDING THIS AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION.
AND THAT’S WHAT I’M ALLUDING
TO IN TERMS OF I’M PRESIDENT.
AND YOU ALSO TOSAY
I’M PRESIDENT NATURE WHEN IT
COMES TO OUTSIDE FORCES
REGARDING CORPORATIONS LOOKING
MAKING SURE STUDENTS ARE KNOWN
FOR PROTESTING THAT COULD
POSSIBLY THEIR CAREERS.
AND SO THERE IS THIS NEW FORCES
AND FACTORS THAT MAKES THIS SO
UNPRECEDENTED.
>> AND I LASTLY WANT TO SAY,
LET’S NOT FORGET THAT STUDENTS,
BOTH JEWISH AND MUSLIM,
HAVE BEEN SAYING THEY HAVE FELT
UNCOMFORTABLE ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY
FOR NOW, SINCE OCTOBER 7TH.
AND WE HAVE SEEN SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS FALL DOWN FROM
THEIR RANKS BECAUSE OF THAT.
THIS IS A STORY WILL CONTINUE
WITH THAT.
DID SAY, THOUGH, I ALSO WANT
TO MAKE SURE I DON’T KNOW WHERE
ANGLE YOU’RE GOING WITH THAT
DID SAY THAT IN MY OPENING
REMARKS.
>> THE STATEMENT ABOUT THE HATE
SPEECH.
ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN WE SAID THANK YOU SO MUCH,
OF COURSE, FOR THIS.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION
AND I THINK THAT THE HOW WE
FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT ALL OF
US, WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO TALK
ABOUT THIS.
SO THANK YOU EVERYONE SO MUCH.
L.Z., MEGAN, JOHN AND MIKE, WE
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME,
AS ALWAYS.
COMING UP NEXT IN LAST CALL.
>> CAITLIN CLARK WAS A SHOO
