your rent data itself and get the credit you deserve
8:01 am
>> i'm arlette saenz at the white house. and this is cnn cnn's, breaking news >> i knew are in the cnn newsroom. i'm wolf blitzer in washington. this morning. we're following all the reparations from the monumental ruling in the criminal case against donald trump in georgia the judge has just ruled fulton county district attorney, fani willis, can continue prosecuting trump and his allies in the georgia election subversion case. but she may only stay only state if the special prosecutor, nathan wade, who had a relationship with willis is removed, if willis and her team had been disclosed hello, fight, it would almost certainly have delayed a trial until after the presidential election in november. that is something trump desperately wanted in all of this. and as other legal cases as well, cnn's nick valencia is just outside the
8:02 am
fulton county courthouse for acidic. can you walk us through this morning's historic ruling? >> wolf? it was historic, monumental decision fani willis getting a technical win, but a massive indictment on her behavior coming down in this ruling from judge scott mcafee, he did say that there was no evidence of a through line that she financially benefited from her relationship with her lead prosecutor, nathan wade, but he was highly critical of that relation kinship between them, saying that georgia law does not permit an actual conflict for bad choices, even repeated ones. and here's what he's saying in part of that decision. this it's finding is by no means an indication that the court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the district attorney's testimony during the evidentiary hearing, and it was it's during her testimony on february 15th, earlier this year that she was fired up going so far as to call ashleigh merchant, the defense attorney that brought forward these claims a liar, but in this ruling, judge scott mcafee saying that fani willis had her own credibility issues on the
8:03 am
stand. we did hear from steve sadow, he's the attorney for the former president, and we should expect an appeal but in the meantime, big questions remain. when will we see nathan wade's resignation letter? that is one of the most principal questions. and will the district attorney's office be able to get this case? back on track before the election. >> will mid valencia with the latest thank you very much. let's continue this discussion with our analysts joining us now, cnn chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid, our national correspondent, kristen holmes, and cnn senior legal analyst, elie honig who is a former federal prosecutor paula, let me reiterate or repeat what we just saw. part of the ruling. very strong words from this judge. this finding is by no means an indication that the court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the district attorney's testimony during the evidentiary hearing. that's very very strong language. yeah. there's a lot of strong language in here. this is an incredibly high stakes decision, and the judge had to show his work. he found
8:04 am
that he believed that there was a pattern of bad behavior that's what a lot of the strong language is about. but ultimately that fani willis was not engaged in some sort of scheme to profit off of this case, which is why he is letting her stay on this case, but he's asking for nathan wade to be removed or the office itself to just remove themselves from the case, but it's never a good day. we'll when the judge overseeing the most high-profile case in your portfolio questions your judgment because if you read this 23 page statement in the superior court of fulton county, state of georgia state of georgia, versus donald john trump, rudolph william lewis to giuliani. and these others. mark meadows and these other co-defendants in this particular case, the language is incredibly tough very strong, and let me get elie honig two way and let me read another part about nathan wade now listen to this elie very strong statement. wade's patently unpersuasive explanation for the inaccurate
8:05 am
interrogatories he submitted in his pending divorce indicates a willingness on his part to wrongly conceal his relationship with the district attorney as the case moves forward, reasonable members of the public could easily be left to wonder whether the financial exchanges have continued resulting in some form of benefit to the district attorney or even whether their romantic relationship has resumed. le how damaging is that as all of this for a prosecutor? well, if this is >> bottom line of victory for fani willis, but it's a pyrrhic victory. it's a very costly victory, both to her and nathan wade, one of whom has to go now, spoiler alert. it's going to be nathan wade, who leaves the case, but let's remember, these people are prosecutors. nathan wade is functioning as a prosecutor on the most important case is that that office has ever brought or that they've ever seen in the state of georgia. and now we have the judge calling out as you just showed in that segment the veracity, the truthfulness of nathan wade. he all but says nathan wade lied on the stand
8:06 am
and he has similar language a little bit toned down from that, but calling into question whether fani willis was truthful when she took the stand. so nathan wade is going to get kicked off the case. he has to go i actually think fani willis ought to think about whether she takes herself off the case, a conflict of interests is something that you need to monitor as a prosecutor to protect the case itself. and if it reaches a point where an individual's involvement in the case is going to shed public doubt. on the case itself, comes down that a prosecutor and i include fani willis needs to think about whether the right thing for the case is for her to step aside given these rulings, very strong words indeed, krystian, we heard a very strong statement released very quickly from the trump legal t. >> that's right. just to reiterate how the campaign has become the legal side of this. we got this from the attorney, but then also reaching out to the campaign. this is the statement that they pointed out too, so we haven't heard from donald trump on the campaign directly of stephen steve sadow, lead defense counsel for
8:07 am
president trump in the fulton county, ga. exactly. >> that's his lawyer. so this is what he says while respecting the court's decision, we believe that the court did not afford appropriate significance to the prosecutorial misconduct of willis and wade, including the financial benefits testifying on truthfully about when their personal relationships began, as well as willis extra judicial mlk, quote, church speech, where she played the race card and falsely accused the defendants and their counsel of racism we will use all legal options available to continue to fight to the end of this case, which should never have been brought in the first place. that shows that there's going to be an appeal there which nick had mentioned. it also shows that they want this to be their official line, that they wanted fani willis off the case, that this is something they believe should never have been brought forward. however, when i'm talking to trump sources on background who are not public, they are saying that this is a when they believe that there is a lot that in this ruling that they can spin to their benefit politically, they believed that taking nathan wade off the case is good for them. they don't know who's next two will be the next special counsel suffer prosecutor in this case. it could be someone who they have
8:08 am
more information on. they just there's a lot of unknowns here. also. the other part of this, they're happy because they believe that this will delay it past the november election, which is something that they've been working on time and time again in all of his various cases. >> they want to delay as much as possible paul. apparently fani willis the district attorney, will stay on this case. there's no indication she will resign or anything like that, right? >> that's exactly right. and look, the underlying case remains largely intact earlier this week, the judge to dismiss six of accounts. they can always bring us back to a grand jury and add them back in and remedy some of the issues but it's unclear if this case is going to go before the election. if former president trump is re-elected, it's unclear at that case, would go in the next four years or at all. i mean, obviously the trump lawyers at some point are going to have to defend our client in a court of law based on the facts and the law. but until that time, they have two goals. one is to delay. they have succeeded with help from this process to disqualify her have these allegations and then also to undermine the credibility and the prosecutors and in the justice system and the conduct here has helped
8:09 am
trump achieve both of those. so yes, the underlying case remains intact. fani willis continues to oversee it unless she steps aside. but it is hard to see how this is a win for fani willis or for the justice system writ large because i think a lot of folks are going to look at this and have some questions. >> yeah, these 23 pages, how much does it damage her case right now, potentially, the underlying case remains intact, right. there's no question about the credibility the case yesterday. in fact, the judge, even when he dismissed those six counts. so look, you have still supported these allegations. quiet well, but there's some specific counts where you lacked enough detail to allow them to to prepare their defense. but when it comes to the court of public opinion, this whole episode, this effort to disqualify the allegations that came to the surface, the conduct, this is damaging because to the average voter, they don't understand why you would be sleeping with a person heading up the most high a profile case of your career and one of the most significant in the land, and they probably also have some questions about the hundreds of thousands of dollars he was he
8:10 am
received. now, the judge said that the amount he was paid was not inappropriate. but again, we're talking about the court of public opinion. this was a forced error and a gift a gift to former president trump. he doesn't even have to make things up. this is that's right. well, then i'm just one day want to add here is that this is all about messaging for former present dropped, as we know, he wants to play all of this out in the court of public opinion. he doesn't want to just go to trial. he wants to walk up to the cameras at trial and talk about how this is a witch hunt. this is democratic. democrats coming after him because he is running for president. it's all about messaging for the former president, so he can use the language in this that scathing language that you just read to spin this as a win for him and saying that this she had lapses in judgment should this case have even been brought. again, legally, one side, public opinion messaging. that's completely different you know, it's interesting. elie, the judge hinted a gag order may actually be necessary for fani willis. tell us why and what would that how would that happen? >> yeah, that's a really remarkable part of the ruling. it's sort of towards the end and it's the b story line, but
8:11 am
it's important here now, this refers to the church speech that i think paula referenced earlier, a few days after the defendants made this motion to disqualify fani willis. she went in public in a church with cameras rolling and essentially said that the reason that this motion had been brought was racism, and the judge says, in his ruling that that was an a legally inappropriate statement for the da to make his absolutely right. a prosecutor cannot make inflammatory public statements about the defendants. they're the ones who have their rights at issue. and the judge basically said it may be necessary to put a gag order on the da that tells you something. i mean, look, fani willis has made in my view and in the judge's you improper public statements throughout this case. she's given dozens of public interviews. she's given her opinion on donald trump's guilt before the grand jury even voted on this, which is improper. and so it's pretty rare. i don't think i've ever seen it before where a judge has said, we may need to slap a gag order on the prosecutor. prosecutors are supposed to operate under gag orders.
8:12 am
anyway, prosecutors like to say we do are talking in court here, fani willis as violated that principle. and the judge has taken note of it. >> yeah. lots to digest, de la paula, kristen, to all of you. thank you very much. joining us, dow cnn legal commentator, james scholz, a former lawyer in the trump white house. james, thanks very much for joining us. this is a win for fani willis. she gets to stay on as da, but how do you expect trump and his co-defendants to respond down the road? >> look, i think first of all, i think they've they've already kind of telegraph that they're going to appeal this, right? and the question of the appeal is going to be, isn't going to be appeal that can be taken interlocutory, which has now that will then tie up the case even further, or do they are they going to have to wait until after the case to have the appeal heard. there's probably pretty strong argument and the judge would have to agree to this, that it gets taken up now, because if the appellate court rules the other way and finds that the trial judge air committed error in
8:13 am
this case as far as the log those then the case gets moved on to what it goes to that panel. and then could potentially get moved onto another prosecutor from another county, so that that's that's the next step legally in this case. and you have to remember on appeal the veracity of the witnesses, those types of calls that the judge made in his opinion, the truthfulness of those witnesses, the truth, nobleness of fani willis, the truthfulness of wade. we'll all have to be taken at face value as if they are on the determinations of the trial judge, the appellate judge won't look into those determinations, but whether the appropriate standard was applied, and especially in this case where you have okay. one of them has to get off the case hey so if one of them has to get off the case because of the appearance of impropriety. what about the entire time the case was ongoing and that's something i think the appeals court is going to have to look at. >> yeah. i'm sure you're right. what does this beam, james for the strength of fani willis, this case right now so
8:14 am
look to xi's taken a couple of hits, right? >> it was a >> big deal that they dismissed, not legally a big deal, but but but from a public relations perspective, the fact that they dismissed those six counts earlier in the week for lacked of factual basis, if you will, or notice to the defendant is significant in this case. it and it's a significant blow to the politics of this, the pr of this. it gave donald trump and his team and republicans. one other thing to talk about. now this case and the scathing opinion as to her conduct the conduct of wade is another political and pr win for trump as it relates to the legality the case, i think it just this is just going to this will slow down the process. i've said from the beginning, i don't think there's any chance this case is heard prior to the election. certainly not. >> now, you you don't see the possibility that this specific trout could be heard before the election no, i've never really thought that this was going to make it it's a lot of counts, it's a lot of defendants. rico

8:21 am
media. now these cases that she was deciding on behalf of the court's speaking on behalf of the court came from michigan and california, but you'll recall that donald trump, when he was in office, blocked people on twitter. that case never was heard by the supreme court because he was out of office by the time it reached up there. but now, deciding a matter involving eyesight to local two sets of local officials who had blocked followers, who had complained about their activity. the justices establish a test and it's a pretty it's a tested in some ways splits the difference from where lower courts had been but pretty hard. the test says that a public official who blocks someone or otherwise prevent somebody from commenting on the official social media page is engaging in state action only if the official possessed actual authority to speak on the state's behalf on a particular matter and here's another key part purported to exercise that authority when speaking in the relevant posts the court said this is a very
8:22 am
fact bound question. it doesn't matter if the person was definitely a public employee or a public official or the site appeared to look a certain way. the question is whether the alleged blocking or censorship is actually a matter on which the official so it's within their bailiwick and the official was purporting to actually exercise certain government authority. so both cases are being sent back to lower court judges to figure out whether these cases officials can be sued. does it make any difference if the public official has one? one, the site that is associated with the government as opposed to a totally private site, just associated with him or her? >> well, in one of the cases, somebody did have dual sites like that, but that doesn't that's not going to completely inform the question. the question is going to be in the particular questionable action blocking a constituent two was
8:23 am
complaining, look at that action and c was that official speaking in his or her official capacity and purporting to do that in the particular action of blocking. so as i said, very fact specific wells is very significant. so someone like anthony blinken, the secretary of state he he can't go ahead. if somebody writes something really negative about that person on twitter or whatever instagram, he can't go ahead, block that person because he's a public official. well probably in that case, it would not be allowed to, but the court was very careful to say it didn't want public officials losing the right to speak publicly about matters of civic concerns. so as i say, it will really depend on the particular post, the particular action that's being taken. interesting, very interesting. no automatic series. what am i and nine, nothing decision. and i think should happen very often. know think the reason it did here is because there are a lot of questions for lower court judges to hash out
8:24 am
exactly like the one you just raised. >> we'll watch it closely. very significant joan biskupic, appreciate it very much want to get back to our top story right? this morning's pivotal ruling in georgia's election subversion case against donald trump and others. fulton county district attorney fani willis we'll be allowed to lead georgia election subversion case against the former president united states, but only if the special prosecutor, nathan wade, is off the team. that was the ruling from judge scott mcafee, just a little while ago. we're joined now by tamara halloran she's a senior reporter for the atlanta journal constitution. she's been doing a lot of extensive reporting on this story from day one. tamara, thank you very much for joining us. do you expect we'll hear from fani willis today are or what happens next in the case? >> yeah. we're waiting to hear really from all the sides in this fight. we have yet to hear from the da's office although they did take their time to respond to the initial motion seeking to disqualify her, and it took them several weeks to
8:25 am
come out with an official response. we are expecting to hear from them some time hi, i'm in the coming hours or days is she okay with this decision? >> did she let wade go >> we are expecting her to take that path as opposed to recusing her entire office. we're also waiting to hear from the defense attorneys in this case, especially ashleigh merchant, the attorney for mike roman, who filed the initial disqualification motion, and whether she plans to appeal this ruling, that could obviously extend the timeline for this fight and keep it dragging on for weeks or even months to come. >> nathan wade, he could he could potentially just resign or she could fire him, right >> yes. exactly. and he's been on this case since november 2021, almost since the beginning. he really has been a key organizational force in all of this. and so that could be a major change day-to-day for this roughly 12-person team that's been working on this case. >> do we have any idea who bite
8:26 am
replace him >> well, as i mentioned, there's already about a dozen other folks who she could decide to elevate into that that kind of key quarterback role many of them have been at the da's office for several years now, or she could look for outside counsel. she has there's two other special prosecutors who have been helping with this case. and across in john floyd, they've been helping in more limited capacities. john floyd is an expert on rico laws here in georgia and across is known as an expert, especially when it comes to arguing before federal courts she could decide to tap one of them, expand the roles of one of her the folks or even look outside turbine or how much does the judge mcafee is ruling today? week in her case against trump and these other co-defendants. >> i wouldn't say that it weakens the case as it stands because this is entirely outside of the charges that we're talking about, but it absolutely hurts her credibility and could lead to
8:27 am
all sorts of political headaches for her down the road. and it could lead to some time you had zoo, as i mentioned, if anyone chooses to appeal that could drag stuff out for several weeks or months. but in terms of politics here, this is something that republicans are not going to let da willis forget about. cheese on the ballot this year. she's seeking a second term and she is two challengers, one from her left and one from her right. trump has been added like a dog with him bone in his rallies going after da wellness and how unfair she is. and republicans in georgia state legislature have launched an investigative committee with subpoena power to also look into these allegations. that's expected to continue in the weeks and months ahead, and they've indicated that they plan to subpoena and the da to test to five publicly. so these headaches will persist for the da no matter what going forward tomorrow, howler min of the atlanta journal-constitution. thanks for joining us. thanks for your excellent, very

8:40 am
sheltering cnn's jeremy diamond is joining us now from jerusalem. jeremy, what else is the prime minister's office? they're saying >> well welfare following a meeting of the israeli security cabinet, were told that the israeli prime minister has now approved the plans for action in rafah, as it's being described, that includes both a plan and to evacuate the civilian population from rafah where some 1.5 million palestinians are currently living, many of them displaced from other parts of the gaza strip. and the second part of this, of course, is a major military offensive into what israeli prime minister has previously and repeatedly described as hamas's last bastion. but there are not many details about exactly what this dual plan actually will entail, how feasible it will be. we heard earlier this week from an israeli military spokesman, daniel hagari, who told us that they are preparing to create humanitarian enclaves as he put it in central gaza to be able to accommodate those place
8:41 am
palestinians from rafah that will include food, shelter field hospitals all in partnership with international partners. but again, very few details about the feasibility of that. and a secretary of state, tony blinken is now saying that the united states is yet to actually see those plans from israel, and that the feasibility and seeing the details of those plans will be crucial to know whether or not israel should move forward with this operation, will amidst all of this, jeremy has sources now telling cnn that talks on a potential gaza ceasefire are moving and what the source describes as a positive direction. what do we know? >> well, there does seem to be some momentum as hamas has now submitted a new counterproposal that includes some specific numbers of the numbers of palestinian prisoners that it would like to see released as part of this deal in exchange for those israeli hostages but those numbers are still higher than israeli officials would like to see them. and in a
8:42 am
statement about this latest proposal, the israeli prime minister's office indicating that it's still finds hamas's demands ridiculous. so there's still clearly a lot of gap to be bridged here. but the israeli government intending to send a delegation to doha, qatar to pursue those negotiations. we will see what comes of them will be access to get the word. all right, thanks very much. jeremy. jeremy diamond in jerusalem chris, appreciate it. very much. been while president biden is meeting with the irish prime minister over at the white house this morning, and he just commented on senate majority leader chuck schumer is very forceful criticism of these really prime minister benjamin ateneo are white house correspondent priscilla alvarez is joining us right now. so what did the president so let's priscilla? >> well, the president weighed in on this for the first time saying that he was notified ahead of time by the senate majority leader staff that he would give those forceful
8:43 am
remarks yesterday on the senate floor, and then going on to say and acknowledge that the senate majority leader did have serious concerns. take a listen senator schumer contacted my staff. was she and her staff is going to make that speech. and i'm not going to exact elaborate on his speech. he made a good speech i think he expressed serious concern, shared not only by him, up by many americans now, in that brief meeting that we were in the room for this, the irish prime minister also said that one of his top >> priorities going into this meeting was to talk about the situation in gaza, calling for a ceasefire when he said that wasn't a biden nodded and said he agreed. of course, the president has said that there should be a temporary ceasefire for more assistance to get into gaza and for the hostages to be released from gaza. so that is going to be looming over this meeting of meaning that is usually an annual stuffed full of celebrations with a crystal ball or a crystal ball of sham rocks and also with fountains
8:44 am
dyed green. but in this situation, ireland of course, a place where the palestinian cause runs deep, or they see parallels with colonialism and oppression and something that the two of them will be discussing at length today >> i certainly will. priscilla alvarez at the white house. thank you very much. let's discuss what's going on joining us. cnn, political commentators at hosts of the podcast hot mics from left to right. alice stewart and maria cardona maria leader schumer's speech made a lot of waves here in washington, and a lot of waves in jerusalem as well. what do you make a president biden now, weighing in? >> you know well if when he made that speech, leader schumer, you're right. he made a lot of waves. he is as you know, the highest ranking elected jewish leader in the united states. so he comes out this with a lot of credibility, a lot of personal stake in this and so i think what he expressed has a lot of the frustration that is going on in this country with our elected
8:45 am
leaders, even within the white house about the direction of the war that is being prosecuted by israel. that's not to say that either schumer nor biden are wavering in their supportive israel they are not that that has been solid from the beginning, but it is to say that all of the images and the horrific news that is coming out of gaza is having an effect on not just the public scrutiny in the united states, but worldwide on israel. and part of what schumer and i believe president biden are doing it both publicly now, more publicly, but also privately from the beginning, is trying to nudge netanyahu to say, look, this has israel's reputation on the line. we understand that you all have absolutely the right to defend yourselves and you should and we're at your site on not but you have got to understand the way that you prosecute this war matters. and i think that was
8:46 am
the bottom line of both schumer's remarks, as well as president biden's. >> we're very interesting indeed, alice, listen to how some of schumer's republican colleagues reacted to his forceful speech yesterday. listen to this what is leader schumer doing injecting himself israel, israel politics. again, i think it's just beyond the pale. >> i'm very upset. i don't think that leader schumer's our should be inserting his ideas and throwing them at israel are in the middle of a war >> we should be on this side of israel. we should be showing support for israel. know that hamas has to go >> sorry alex, what's your take? >> i agree. 100%. it's it's very hypocritical for democrats who complain about foreign interference in elections to call for the regime change in israel and look, it's quite clear that joe biden has a real problem on his hand when it
8:47 am
comes to israel and his jewish vote. and when you have schumer out there talking about a regime change that's that shouldn't happen. israel is our ally and we should be their ally all the time, not just when it's convenient and look democrats and jewish people people specifically democrats in this country, they don't have an anti bb problem. they have an anti-israel problem, an anti-semitism problem. and that's what needs to be addressed. it's not benjamin netanyahu. and now is the time more than ever to stand with netanyahu and democratically elected leader of israel, who has been there for us and to try and point paint this any other way is absolutely wrong and you have do biden, who has leader schumer out there calling for removal of netanyahu. and on the other side, you have the far left saying, let's have an all-out cease fire. he's got a real problem and that jewish voters and the democratic party are saying, what is joe biden's policy? >> he, >> he has to hurt his cattle here on this issue because this is going to be a tremendous issue in the 2024 election. and
8:48 am
you have four rights on both sides on this issue. the most important thing is we need to show support for israel. israel had a right to defend themselves and their enemy. it's not bibi, their enemy as hamas in extreme terrorism that's what we need to keep in mind first and foremost, varied ella stewart, maria cardona will continue this conversation to be sure down the road. thank you very much. meanwhile, we're learning new details about why latam flight suddenly plunged earlier this week. it might have been due to a mistake in the cockpit we've got new information will explain stay with us you're in the cnn newsroom >> if you work in space hi, this is just the worst possible thing i can ever help >> my dad died doing what he loves space shuttle columbia he had a final flight from your sunday, april 7 at nine on the planet fitness black heart is packed with parks, not like other gyms. >> hi, can i bring my friend to

8:53 am
from the wall street journal says a cockpit chair, ms app, by a flight attendant might have caused a boeing seven at seven to play while in flight. that according to us industry officials briefed on preliminary evidence from an investigation of the incident, which left 50 passengers injured cnn aviation correspondent pete muntean is joining us right now. pete, this raises a lot of serious safety questions. what exactly happened here? >> it's important to note, well, but this investigation is still beginning and boeing tells us it's working on a statement, but if this account and the wall street journal is accurate, it is a significant new target for investigators. the account goes like this. the pilots of latam flight 800 were being served a meal while in cruise flight, two sources briefed on this investigation, say a flight attendant pressed a switch on one of these 78 sevens electrically powered pilot seats that slid the seat forward and into the controls, causing this plane to drop.
8:54 am
this flies in the face of what passenger said that pilots told them that their cockpit displays went dark and that they briefly launched control. this is what 787 cockpit looks like. i can see the switching question on the backside of the seats near the head rest. it moves each seat four and after on an l-shaped track. and when the seed is all the way back and it allows the pilots to climb into the seat without having to climb over the center console there. the control column is in front of the seats. that's where the yolk is. the controls on the airplane. it sits in the center between their legs. >> so you can see >> how sliding this too far forward creates a bit of an ergonomic issue. push forward on the control column, the nose goes down. so now this account in the journal is starting to make this incident make a lot more sense. what will be key here are the black box is the flight data recorder gets thousands of streams of data, notably, the position of the control column. so investigators will be able to tell if it got pushed in a linear way like these powered
8:55 am
seats operate. they'll also be able to glean a lot from the cockpit voice recorder. those have very sensitive microphones in the codon bet that pickup ambient noise. >> so >> if there was a scuffle with the cedar, somebody shouting, hey, stop, they should be able to hear it. the pieces are really coming together and what sounds like it's far from a boeing issue. but as simple unintentional incidents and the plane maker reportedly putting out a memo to airlines that fly the 787 pretty soon, reminding them to be extra careful around this switch, welfare, be careful in that cockpit. pete muntean. thank you very much for that update. appreciate it very much. to our viewers. thanks very much for joining me here in the cnn newsroom. i'm wolf blitzer in washington you back later tonight, 06:00 p.m. eastern in the situation room right here monday morning, 11:00 a.m. eastern stay with cnn inside politics with dana bash starts right after a very short break
