central witness in the classified documents case. now, speaking publicly for the first time standby for details on what he knows as he urges voters out there to learn the truth about his former boss also tonight. a dire warning from the fbi director that the terrorism threat against the united states is that a whole new level after the october 7 attack on israel and the war in gaza, standby for more on alarming new testimony by the nation's top intelligence officials. and the princess the wales now says she's responsible for editing a family photo that was supposed to ease speculation about her health after abdominal surgery. instead, the image and the controversy are now raising even more questions about what's going >> going on with the british royal. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in the situation room the
12:01 am
>> skis, cnn breaking news, because that's good right to the breaking news, cnn has exclusive new interview with a key witness in the trump classified documents case, known only as trump employee five, at least until now? cnn's kaitlan, poland's as a west palm beach, florida near mar-a-lago, kaitlan. who is this witness? and why is he speaking out now >> well, if this is brian butler, brian butler worked for donald trump for 20 years at the mar-a-lago club at one point, running the car service for all of the gases that's coming in and out of the club. he eventually left that job in fall of 2022, but that was not before he had been privy to some major conversations and moments in this classified documents investigation. and now he is someone who has spoken to prosecutors multiple times and clearly is a key
12:02 am
witness. for the indictment. one of those moments he recalls, wolf is june 3 of 2022 when he was working at the club and the bodyman of donald trump, walt nauta, asked him oddly in his estimation, to borrow an escalator, a cadillac escalades so that it could be used on the very same day that the justice since department fbi agents were coming to mar-a-lago to collect documents classified records that might be there that day. they did not get all of them. and brian butler and walt nauta then helped get all of the trump family's luggage over to the airport to go out of town for the summer. that's not all he said. it's more of what brian butler told kaitlan collins here at cnn earlier today >> and then what happened is walt left before me and he never goes directly to the plane. he's either in the motorcade when he goes there with the boss, which the former president, and i remember telling him he left the club
12:03 am
with i didn't know what he had in his vehicle, but he waited for me at a nearby business and i told him i would tell him when i was leaving mar-a-lago so i left mar-a-lago. i texted him, hey, i'm on my way. >> he followed me. he pulled out and got behind me. we got to the airport. i ended up loading all the luggage i had and he had a bunch of boxes. >> you noticed that >> he had they were the boxes that were in the indictment. the white bankers boxes. that's what i i remember loading. >> and did you have any time any idea at the time that there was potentially us national security secrets in his box and no clue >> no. i had no clue. i mean, we were just taking them out of the escalate, piling them up. i remember they were all stacked on top of each other and then we're lifting them up to the pilots how many boxes was it >> they >> asked me in the interview and i believe it was ten to 15 is what i remember. i know the investigators. correct?
12:04 am
>> and when you look back on that now, what i had no clue until probably the end of june, there's a few different things that happen that kind of opened my eyes to you know, something's going on here so you get that unusual request. did you ever think to yourself why were there so many boxes at mar-a-lago? >> for me. i'm just thinking now the former president and he has a lot of stuff he likes to lug around with them. i never would've thought it was anything like what we see testify >> wolf donald trump's attorneys are not commenting nor our walter not as. but one thing that is uncontested here is that brian butler is trump employee five in that indictment against the former president and very likely would be called at a criminal trial here in south florida. >> so kaitlan, how does this
12:05 am
fit into the special counsel's? case against trump >> well, if brian butler represents not just somebody who had this window into mar-a-lago. he's also the best friend, the longtime best friend of one of trump's co-defendants, carlos de oliviera. so in addition to that june 3 moment that he was speaking about with kaitlan collins once there, brian butler also was privy to a number of conversations where color carlos de olivera, this codefendant, appear to be talking about the alleged cover up, the interests in surveillance tapes and the interests in having an attorney represent him through the trump world know butler did not have an attorney represented through the trump world and is different from many in that sphere gave a poll and sexual reporting. thank you very much. let's get some more on this. joining us now cnn anchor and chief legal analyst laura coates, and cnn senior law enforcement analyst, andrew mccabe. so laura, how significant is this, what we just heard?
12:06 am
>> it's very significant. it tells you a lot about what the investigators were most interested in in terms of who are the players involved back that he was really oblivious. it seems according to him, about what he was doing and the why. but notice some oddities, not just in the rearview mirror will, but actually at the time wondering what was going on, pizza, get together it paints a very colorful picture of the intent to take boxes away from the area where they knew that the investigators were going to be looking a demonstrates a level of intent investigators want to actually convey to a jury and also shows you about the distinction of winning your attorney is the same as donald trump's versus your own, where your interests divide and where your little he's may ultimately end up. it's very powerful if it can be proven that there is more collaboration as well >> yeah, it's interesting. andrew mccabe, butler brian butler, employee number five, as they called him officially he worked with trump and don't trump for 20 years. so potentially he's got a lot of information he could be the
12:07 am
ultimate insider in this story, right there at mar-a-lago for 20 years close not only to trump, but to his two co-defendants. and that's an important point because one of the potential weaknesses in the special counsel's case right now is that specifically carlos de olivera? there's not much solid evidence that indicates that day oleh there at knew that the things he was doing were intentionally obstructing the subpoena that had been served for those records. well, butler is very close to de oliveira. they've been friends for decades. they take long walks together at night. so in addition to the things that we know, he knows from this interview there may be much more that he has to say about de oliveira, and i suspect trump. i appreciate that as well, laura, because we know that a trump tried very hard to keep butler in his orbit, if you will he paid wanted to pay for his lawyers. he offered a golf tickets, even did all sorts of stuff to try to keep them within orbit, i mean, if you're facing jail time, not
12:08 am
sure how enticing jail tick i mean, golf tickets might be. forgive the slip there, but the idea of that being the incentive is very clear on the strategy behind why you want to keep what your friends close and your enemies closer? well, somebody who could personally flip on, you become a witness, becomes illegal enemy very, very quickly. it's also important to know but the length of time that butler was serving as an employee of mar-a-lago we don't know of any ax to grind, but maybe the case here when you're talking about a witness as a jury, you want to know if his eighth it's a credibility credibility issue for you. do you have an ax to grind? where are fired? is there some reason for me to not believe your testimony because you are biased or tainted in some way, his tenure as an employee ultimately might buttress his actual credibility and make the jurors believe if this goes to trial, eventually that oh, this person is someone i can believe i can have a fly on the wall which prosecutors want all the time >> and brian butler, andrew says he's speaking out now because he wants voters out there to know that truth about trump now, given the timing right now, the election is
12:09 am
still several months down the road. what do you make of that? >> well, if that's in fact why he is speaking out and if he in fact left mar a-lago entirely of his own choice, then that's very powerful statement. it could make him a very effective witness, but there's a lot we don't know about mr. butler yet, and no doubt donald trump's lawyers are focusing on his record at mar-a-lago in his background is personal history under putting all that under a microscope, if we find out later that he was terminated for some reason that there's some sort of grievance between he and the former president then that could undermine his testimony and by the way, that so important as well, because you think about it, the amount of time he has left until a trial is in my time. they have left to discredit him which i'm sure they're going to try to do. i'll see what happens. we'll watch it all very closely, guys. thank you very, very much. and you can see more of kaitlan collins exclusive interview on the source later tonight 09:00 p.m. eastern. and laura, of course, we'll be back at 11:00 p.m. eastern later tonight to acre hershko, laura coates live just ahead. the

12:15 am
>> another critical intersection we are monitoring is the relationship is a vice chairman noted between government of russia, china, north korea, and iran, which is evolving as these four countries expand collaboration through a web of bilateral and in some cases trilateral arrangements this growing cooperation and willingness to exchange aid and military economic, political, and intelligence matters enhances their individual capabilities another key focus of the hearing, russia's war against ukraine, the cia chief telling senators, >> it would be quote, a massive and historic mistake if congress fails to approve more military aid for ukraine despite very deadly global threats by strong men like russia's vladimir putin, donald trump it is now doubling down on his embrace of dictators. trump's views on display as the former president and 2024 white house contender hosted
12:16 am
hungary's far-right leader. cnn's brian todd is taking a closer look at all of this. right? >> but that far-right leader you mentioned victor orban is crowing about his meeting with donald prompt proclaiming that trump will quote, end the war in ukraine by not giving a penny to the ukrainians, fueling more concern tonight about trump's rejection of nato and his coddling of dictators it was a classic trumpian embrace of a strong man at mar-a-lago, the former president hosted hungarian prime minister viktor orban and he heaped praise on orban style of leadership in videos posted on orban's instagram account. >> he said this is the way it's going to be in this. he had done and it is a great leader, fantastic leader, europe all over the world, their respective two people respect viktor orban. >> hey, do not. in fact, viktor orban is one of the most vilified leaders inside the european union. he's a complete outlier the far-right orban's stifling of the opposition and the press, and eroding of democracy has led
12:17 am
many observers to label him an autocrat, which some analysts >> say makes him a kid rid spirit with the former president. >> trump has seemingly never met a dictator. he doesn't like and not just like, but he seeks to emulate, which is the scariest thing of all trump has openly praised vladimir putin and chinese leader zhizhen pink last year calling xi brilliant in an interview >> and saying this about him while he was in office president xi, who's a friend of mine, there was trump's almost comical courtship of the brutal north korean dictator kim jong un, during the period when trump was trying to strike it nuclear deal with kim trump wants displaying a kim letter in an oversized envelope and often bragging about their correspondence. >> and then we fell in love >> really. >> he wrote me >> beautiful letters and they're great learners we fell in love in his new book, the return of great powers. cnn's jim sciutto quotes top former trump white house aides describing trump's admiration for dictators, retired general
12:18 am
john kelly, who served as trump's white house chief of staff, told sciutto that trump praised adolf hitler kelly saying, quote, he said, well, but hitler did some good things. i said, well what? and he said, well, hitler rebuilt the economy. i said, sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. nothing in 2021, a spokeswoman for trump denied that he had praised hitler. but another former trump cabinet member said this to cnn. clearly he has predilection for leaders who, whom he proceeded to be strong. and that's just how he breaks the world down and breaks things down between strong and weak. >> one analyst worries about how trump with the endorsement of hardline republican conservatives is now campaigning on ideas of establishing almost dictatorial powers in the white house. >> he fetishizes the strong man and that's the blueprint. crush the media and establish his own rule over the country >> analysts jacob heilbron points out there's another major concern regarding trump's affinity for dictators. if he gets elected to a second term, the very real
12:19 am
possibility that he'll purge agencies like the justice department, the fbi, and the cis okay. of competent people who he perceives to be his enemies. that's a classic dictator move, wolf only as brian todd excellent report. thank you very, very much for joining us now, senator chris murphy, democrat of connecticut, at a key member of the senate foreign relations committee, senator, thanks so much for joining us. we have a lot to discuss, but first the us director of national intelligence hello, james is now warning that russia, china, north korea, and iran are cooperating more closely together. how concerned are you buy that? and what are the usbe doing to try to prevent some sort of full scale alliance between these, these, these countries well, listen, i mean, this is no secret. these have long been us adversaries. they are often in ad hoc cooperation with each other, but part of that cooperation is derived from desperation russia has
12:20 am
very few friends left that can supply it with the technology necessary to carry out this war in ukraine. and it's not good news for russia that they are reliant on the north koreans and their stone age technology in order to perpetuate this war inside ukraine so yes, we have to take continued steps in large part through sanctions policy, often through secondary sanctions to try to cut down on the transfer of goods between these nations. but it's not necessarily a sign of strength that russia who was hoping to be reliant on big, more modern industrial countries like china to supply its war efforts are now having to go to iran and north korea >> we just heard donald trump's lavish praise for various dictators out there and his claim that adolf hitler did some good things close quote, when america's enemies here that how are they trying to capitalize on that? if he does win a second term?
12:21 am
>> i just don't think that we can really underestimate the danger here trump is not hiding the fact that he is going to try to shift this country from a democracy to some quasi democracy, or maybe even worse, something very authoritarian and there is real planning happening amidst trump loyalists to institute this plan that would involve putting trump packs throughout the bureaucracy that would turn the department of justice into a mechanism to target trump opponents. and so i just think we need to be very clear that the question of whether democracy perseveres is on the ballot. this fall there is no doubt that many of our adversaries would cheer the erosion of american democracy because that would ultimately lead to the erosion of other democracies in europe. but i think right now we have to be crystal clear about the stakes
12:22 am
and make it clear to the voters that they are going to be decided whether democracy hangs around for another 40 for years this fall on another sensitive issue is, you know, president biden is now publicly blasting israeli prime minister netanyahu. but beyond this shift in rhetoric, does president biden need to back this up with specific action? for example, like putting conditions on aid to israel so the united states should not participate in a military invasion of rafah. that would be an absolute humanitarian nightmare. there are 1.3 million palestinians there. they have absolutely nowhere to go and so you saw some reporting today suggesting that the biden administration is considering withholding military aid to israel should they move forward with this assault on rafah and i frankly believe that the president, through the national security memorandum that he issued several weeks ago now has an obligation to uphold
12:23 am
humanitarian law and humanitarian law likely would not cover and countenance the kind of devastating military operation that israel is undertaking. now there's no doubt that there are very bad people in rafah right now. there are hamas assets. but there is a much more surgical means by which to try to take out the high level hamas leadership that may be inside those camps or in and around those camps. you don't need a full scale invasion where you would have tens of thousands of civilians dying. and i think is very appropriate for the the administration to draw a hard line on this specific operation. >> so am i hearing very quickly, senator, i buy hearing you say that the us should impose specific restrictions on military aid to israel. what they can do, and what they can't do with that military aid. >> i less. and i think we should make it very clear that we will not allow for us aid to be used in a military operation
12:24 am
that we believe will not comply with international and us humanitarian and human rights law. i just think that has to be a clear line for us moving forward and listen, i i think right now the biden ministration is seeing that the netanyahu, that netanyahu is potentially using the extension of this war as a mechanism to stay in power. and there is, i think a growing separation when you you look at the efficacy of these military operations between the actual military benefit versus the political benefit to netanyahu. that's just a conversation that we have to have in the open right now. >> senator chris murphy, thanks so much for joining us. thank you. >> coming up. new developments in the saga of the princess and the picture like kate middleton's explanation of an edited family photo is creating more questions over her recent seclusion winning is the common goal. >> it's everybody's called playing the game that we love

of our newest fat burner thermo x absolutely free. >> i'm lauren fox on capitol hill, and this is cnn in britain tonight, the princess of wales is taking responsibility for a new bit of royal >> controversy involving an apparently photoshopped picture of her with her children seem as max foster has more it was meant to quell the rumors. a smiling princess of wales with a three children looking the picture of health. but instead, it fueled them. the photo released on sunday by the royal family dramatically pulled from circulation by several major news agencies later that day, citing concerns that it had been manipulated the princess of wales apologized on monday, taking personal responsibility for editing the image like many amateur photographers, she
12:30 am
said, i do occasionally experiment with editing. i wanted to express my apologies for any confusion. the family photograph we shared yesterday forced kate was seen on monday in a car with her husband leaving windsor out of the public eye since abdominal surgery in january. sunday's family photo released for mother's day in the uk was supposed to offer the public some reassurance of our health but instead it's raised more questions than answers. a cnn analysis of the photo found at least two areas which appear to show evidence. the photo has been potentially altered, including princess charlotte's sleeve, which seems to melt into nothing. and then kate's zipper, which appears to be cut short cnn is continuing to use the original photo in the context of the debate around its alleged manipulation. a royal source told cnn on monday, the princess made minor adjustments to the image as she shared in her statement on
12:31 am
social media, but didn't explain why they weren't transparent about the edits when they shared the image with news media and pitch agencies afp, one of the international agencies to pull the photo, stood by its decision on monday. >> we have a duty of trust towards our subscribers, towards their viewers, and we have to kill the picture. it's absolutely red line that was crossed there in terms of journalism in the vacuum of information and without the regular on-camera appearances, conspiracy theories have been swirling about the status >> of catherine's health first editions of british newspapers published before the image was pulled by agencies present the picture as happy proof of her recovery. but the subsequent unprecedented withdrawal by some agencies has sent speculation about her wellbeing into overdrive people are worried and they're concerned and the speculation just goes
12:32 am
greater and greater. and it's really, it must be so hard for kate. she's had the severe surgery. she just needs privacy and the internet is panicking. people are saying we can't trust them anymore. we can't trust their photos. >> were the trust between the royal family in the public being called into question? what was meant to be a reassuring family snap backfired spectacularly. well, we always check the photos where you see from the palace here at cnn, but we're now going back over all of the ones that we've risked being receiving before. that's really what we're left with. wolf. there's a question of trust. i mean, how much can we a trust what we're receiving from the palace? >> a good question, max foster, thank you very much. let's get some more on all of this. joining us now, royal watcher and british tv presenter trisha goddard. trisha, thanks very much for joining us, princess kate's photo was supposed to ease as you just heard, public concern about her health and whereabouts, just how much has all that how backfired? >> well, i think the biggest breach of trust is between the
12:33 am
royal family in the press and you write, remember in his book, prince harry talked about a deal being done between the royals and the press. it now seems i think that all bets are off that photograph of her supposedly being driven by carole middleton wasn't published in the british press and they explained why, and they seem to be standing by the privacy rule. >> i >> don't think they will so much and remember, catherine is also patron of the royal photographic society. so it's so embarrassing this controversy has only fueled rumors and conspiracies around princess kate, as you know, how does the royal family quash these concerns >> about a possible coverup? >> i don't think they can. i think it's very difficult. they've this has been a pr nightmare. if she's wheeled out, if you like, before, she's ready, then people are going to people are going to be scrutinizing her anyway, remember next sunday is st.
