9:02 pm
looking up, thanks to its location in the path of monday's pick good evening. thanks for joining us today. urge aileen cannon gives special counsel, jack smith a victory of sorts, but denied him the ruling he wants in the classified documents case. she rejected the former president's claim that he cannot be prosecuted because he converted the highly sensitive material into personal items under the presidential records act but she refused to do it's special counsel smith wanted which is to officially clarify how she wants that law applied. if in fact it even should be. smith wants to get her on records so we can ask the 11th circuit court of appeals to reverse her if needed, which the court has done before today, joe cannon refused to be pin down writing quote, the court declines that demand is unprecedented and unjust. now all this comes after mr. trump erupted on social media, yet again, attacking jack smith and praising the judge he appointed apparently the only judge he seems to like cnn's evan perez joins us now with more in judge cannons ruling. so what else did she say
9:03 pm
>> what anderson she was pushing back at the special counsel, jack smith. i mean, look, the back-and-forth between the special counsel, between the government and the judge has gotten downright sassy, right tonight. today, she pushed metal legal it might as well be in this case. and look, i mean, things are getting definitely spicy because she definitely realized that the special counsel was criticizing her for the way she's handled this case, especially because she's refusing to actually say whether donald trump can you use the presidential records act a post nixon law to essentially claim that he had the right to take these documents when he left the presidency, when he left the presidency to take him back to mar-a-lago. and so by the fact that she's not doing that, it means that that issue is still alive. and so what she's doing here is she's letting that continue. but she pushes back. let me point let me read you just a part of what she she wrote in this two-page order she says the courts ordered
9:04 pm
soliciting preliminary draft instructions on certain counts should not be construed as declaring a final definition. not any essential and men or asserted defense in this case, nor should it be interpreted as anything other than what it was a genuine attempt in the context of the upcoming trial to better understand the parties competing positions and the questions to be submitted to the jury in this complex case. now, look as you heard from a judge who you talk just a couple of days ago on your air, anderson. it's very unusual for the judge to be getting to the question of whether jury instructions and whether to use the presidential records act as part of those jury instructions at this at this stage of the case? and so the fact that these special counsel was pushing her nudging her to do that in order to be able to at least appeal is quite notable at this point. >> so there's still more than a dozen outstanding motions for this judge to decide, including several other motions to
9:05 pm
dismiss the case. how much could that impact the timing of this trial? >> it impacts all of the timing. and here's the other thing is that from what we can tell, she's planning to do hearings on every one of these motions. and those take time and eats up a lot of the calendar, which as you pointed out is already being eaten away and so that's part of the beef that is helping between the government and this judge because the fact that every one of these in normal cases, a lot of judges would just have lawyers brief the various disputes and then make rulings in this case. she's not doing that. she's she's she's having them brief and then bringing them in for hearings with which takes up a lot of time. and then in this case, for instance, this is a pretty simple ruling that she did. but it took some time for her to even make this ruling in this case and there's impressed. >> thanks so much for more on what to make of the judge's ruling. judge cannons ruling. we're joined tonight by former federal judge, nancy gertner,
9:06 pm
also david kelly, who served as us attorney for the southern district of new york, dring nutrients bush administration and another former federal prosecutor from the southern district, district, jessica roth. so judge gertner, let me start with you. you've been critical of how judge cannon has handled the case so far, particularly how she's dealt with the presidential records act and proposed jury instructions which you called. and i quote, very, very troubling you also said in recent weeks that the judges giving credence to arguments that are are on their face absurd. so what do you make of her ruling today >> well, i want to step back for a second. so what she did today is to say that the presidential records act can't lead to the dismissal of all charges, right? and that to some degree is an easy decision to have made. you can't say, >> i'm >> leaving with the nuclear plan of attack because i want to, because so i've just decided to so she said it's not going to be the basis to dismiss. but she's keeping it in play for the trial. so
9:07 pm
either trump would be able to say or at least for now, she's keeping it in play i these were personal records even though i never told anyone in the white house that they were personal, even though they i count on their face be personal. she's going to keep that in play as a trial at the trial rather, it makes the potential for the trial to be chaotic and dangerous for the special prosecutor, chaotic because trump is going to get there screaming, you know, that somehow these were things this is a personal records or that he was these are selective prosecution, all sorts of things that he's claiming in these motions and dangerous for the special prosecutor because she'll be putting her finger on the scale, putting her thumb on the scale a judge to decide things that they shouldn't, but judge isn't any defendant allowed to make whatever defense they want them? it can't why couldn't the former president argue? well, i think the presidential records act
9:08 pm
applies here, even if it doesn't because it doesn't, you can't you can't make you can't bring defenses that are based on air. you can't bring defenses that have absolutely no grounding in the law, right. i mean, i killed someone and i had a right to kill that someone because i'm the messiah i mean, there's, there's a limit and most judges will basically cabin what they can say. this offers a possibility that this trial is going to be wide open and she's going to not control it at all. >> david, i want to read another portion. the judge's order declining to dismiss the indictment. she said the counts if no reference the presidential records act in order they rely on that statute for purposes of stating an offence what do you make of the argument that she is making? >> well, i think she did this made it look like it's strictly a legal issue. and i think she's kind of hedging a little bit, leaving the door open for trump diff follow up
9:09 pm
on the judge set to follow up on what she said is it's kinda like a factual defense for him to assert that. well, i thought i was covered by the presidential records act, one of the problems with that as number one, she could rule that inadmissible, but number two, and essentially to do that i think you'd have to testify what chant going to do. so it's i'm not quite sure what the design was behind the ruling it's >> mysterious, jessica, what do you think jack smith's next move is then? >> well, this has to be incredibly frustrating to him because as the judge was saying, this is an issue of law that the judge should have decided. and so i think she could have decided. >> okay. no one's talking about the presidential. >> she should rule that it's not relevant in the context of this case. she doesn't seem to be willing to do that. and this is part of a pattern of her not only being delayed in issuing decisions, but when she does issue what looks like a decision, it's actually not a committal decision as you essentially kicks it down the road didn't say, well, the dismissal is without prejudice to bringing it back later in the case. here, the real risk risk is that she's not going
9:10 pm
to issue a definitive statement or ruling on whether she's going to instruct the jury on the application of the presidential records act until we get to the point where the jury has been empaneled in jeopardy, would attach and that's a really dangerous point for the special counsel to be at because once jeopardy attaches, there's going to be a real risk that he's not going to be able to try this case if because he's not going to be able to perhaps get her reversed by the 11th circuit in time and he wouldn't be able to retry it because of double jeopardy so he's trying to avoid being in that situation where the jury's already in paneled and that's when he finds out how she's going to instruct the jury. >> so judge gertner, can you can you wrap your head around the former president defending judge cannon in the social media post earlier today because she she ruled against him. same jack smith and somehow treated her terribly and that he should be sanctioned all while trump himself attacks to other judges and prosecutors prison a substance is their family, i mean, it seems like this is the only judge he doesn't attack >> well, of course it's the only duchy. he doesn't attack, but but step back for a moment.
9:11 pm
the way he has attacked other judges is not in terms of their particular decisions. they didn't rule on this they didn't rule on that. it is sort of ad hominem attacks against the judge's before they have even open their mouth. they're trump haters with judge cannon. he's basically not saying anything and he's attacking jack smith is deranged what the notion that human beings are even spending time on this is extraordinary. i mean, what he's saying makes it no sense. certainly, jack smith latest filing was much more pointed there's no basis whatsoever to the to the presidential records act. he's saying and make a decision so that we can we can appeal. and that was it was appointed filing much less pointed than i've seen in my career as a judge but that's what he needs to do because otherwise, really this trial, if and when it takes place we'll be chaos,
9:12 pm
just chaos. >> david, what stops it from being cast? i mean, if it's going down this road your guess is as good as mine. it's really hard. she hasn't put any structure here. she hasn't really you need to establish who's running the courtroom and she hasn't done that. and in fact, inviting the parties to do jury charges at this stage. that's like asking them, can you please give me the law for dummies or cliff's notes on the law because i don't know what it is. maybe you can help me figure it out and so i think that whole package is just kinda sets a tone and he sees an opportunity there of butter in her up. i mean, the other judges yeah he he's gone after them before they even ruled on stuff, but his expectation is that they're going to be against me. his expectation here clearly and it seems to be coming to fruit, is that she's going to be really good for him. so why not? keep >> under in her up any goes to all the hearings in front of her or most of them >> if she does seem to have a very hard time ruling against
9:13 pm
him in any definitive way i have no i know insight into exactly what's motivating those decisions, but his presence certainly as i think something he sees as a strategy and all of his cases actually to be there, perhaps for political reasons, but also to be communicating how much he cares and perhaps intimidating just go right. >> thank you. david kelley as well. good to have you on judge gardner always. thank you. the next breaking news out of israel after day that saw the biden ministration warn israel that american sport now depends on how civilians in gaza are treated. we have to live reports. and later surprisin the key swing state g from pennsylvania and the central role latino voters might play there in the outcome this is the big data. it's great to be the music, the magic, the madness. >> it's time to dance while you can

9:18 pm
>> some breaking news now and israeli official tells cnn that israel's cabinet has approved the reopening of the erez crossing into northern gaza for the first time since hamas is october 7, attack this and cabinet approval to use the nearby port of ashdod would allow more humanitarian aid into the strip. this comes after a day that saw a big change. the body administration's approach toward how israel is conducting the war apparently triggered by this week's deadly israeli strike on a world central kitchen food convoy why the president's age disgust the attack with israel's prime minister or the white house, just tweeted out a photo of him on the call and speaking from brussels for the 75th anniversary of nato secretary of state antony blinken underscored the line that the president laid down this week, horrific attack on the world central kitchen was not the first such incident it must be the last president biden spoke a short while ago with prime minister netanyahu who leaders discussed the situation in gaza
9:19 pm
the president emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable. >> he made clear that >> us policy with respect to gaza will be determined by our assessment of israel's immediate action on these steps. just say this if we don't see the changes that we need to see, there'll be changes in our own policy. >> seen this kayla tau, she is at the white house force tonight with more the administrations apparent new approach, you heard secretary blinken, they're referencing potential changes in us policy did the president tell the prime minister what those changes could look like? do we know >> anderson in a word? no, i'm told by a senior administration official that president biden stuck too broad strokes and generalization it was when he was talking to prime minister netanyahu. and used pretty much exactly the same language that you heard secretary of state antony blinken use right there, that if there are not changes in israel's policy than there would need need to be changes in us policy without going into
9:20 pm
detail about exactly what could change how the us could shift its policy, or what types of aid could see being strapped with certain conditions. >> do we know what netanyahu, whether it pushed back on the call or at all the call was described to me as direct as businesslike, as forceful at times, and that while the two litres did have some times of disagreement, which i'm told is not unusual for these two liters who have known each other for decades, that it was very aboveboard. there was no sparring when i asked about the response of prime minister netanyahu, when biden delivered that message, that there could potentially be a change in us policy toward israel. i asked how he responded and senior administration official told me he understood anderson, the israeli security cabinet, as we said, has approved the opening the erez crossing with the gaza strip for the first time since october 7. in order to the lead humanitarian aid through, does the white house believed that there's a connection to today's phone call? >> yes. this official tells me that during the call netanyahu
9:21 pm
made specific pledges to open more humanitarian crossings and to announce some procedural changes. four the idf now of course, the white house's position is trust, but verify they're waiting to see some of these specific changes actually, not not just get announced, but go into effect, take place and produce results, but just this evening, anderson in the white house putting out a statement on the opening of that erez crossing and calling it a welcome step, get the township. >> thanks so much coming next and to israel is seen as jeremy diamond with more on the breaking news and how the netanyahu government is reacted with the biden administration' s apparently tougher new lines. so what have you learned since that call will interest in these really prime minister's office isn't commenting on nicole directly, but instead what they appear to be doing is letting the actions that these really government is taking speak in their place. and this evening, the israeli security cabinet as you were just discussing, approving the opening of the erez crossing for the first time since october 7, also approving the
9:22 pm
use of the port of ashdod some 20 miles north of that very same crossing to be used to bring in additional humanitarian aid. now, this is significant for a few reasons. first of all, this will allow more aid to be brought down directly into northern gaza where the looming famine is most acute, more than 1 million people in gaza currently on the brink of that famine and even as we have watched the ramp-up in airdrops, for example, these, this new maritime corridor to bring in more humanitarian aid. it's very clear and every humanitarian during an aid agency has said that it is land crossings that are necessary to bring in the scale of humanitarian aid that is necessary and beyond that, we know the us has been pressuring israel for months now now to open up more land crossings, including specifically this erez crossing. and yet even as israeli officials for months have said, they are doing everything they can to get in enough humanity tyrion aid. tonight, we are clearly learning that they could have done more sooner, but instead
9:23 pm
it took the deaths of these seven humanitarian aid workers. and this massive international pressure usher including from the us, to actually result in the opening of this crossing. >> i mean, the other question of course, jeremy is, how is it then distributed? i mean, if aid groups are afraid of being targeted as world central kitchen's, i mean, those vehicles were clearly targeted for whatever reason we don't know and they say there's an investigation underway, but do we know when we're going to learn the details from this investigation? >> yeah i mean, into first of all, in terms of the humanitarian aid, we don't know a lot in terms of when this erez crossing will open and yes, the work of aid workers still remains very dangerous in gaza. as a, but the israeli government has signaled it will take more steps to deconflicted further between its military operations and these aid operations happening inside the gaza strip by these ngos. now, in terms of this investigation into the
9:24 pm
world central kitchen strike, i'm told that the israeli military has begun to brief out the findings of this investigation to relevant parties and tomorrow morning or this morning here in israel in a matter of a few hours expect that they will actually release the findings of that investigation. we don't know how detailed it will be, whether soldiers will be reprimanded here. but there's no question andrew we're saying that this is the most public accounting of any kind of israeli strike by the israeli military itself since the beginning of this war. of course, part of that has to do with the fact of the, the, the brazen nature of this with two vehicles that were clearly marked as aid vehicles coordinated with the israeli military. but there's also certainly a part of this anderson has to do with the fact that six of the seven aid workers were not palestinians. they were foreigners. and that is certainly playing a part in the international uproar. and the israeli response that is followed yeah. >> i mean, it took foreigners been killed for this kind of
9:25 pm
investigation which says a lot, jeremy diamond, thank you. some perspective. now on the administration's new position and how israel is conducting for instance, in gaza joining us for that mark esper, who served as defense secretary during the trump administration. first of all, expert, what do you make this warning from the white house if israel doesn't do more to protect civilians and aid workers, there could be changes to us policy yeah. >> good evening, anderson >> first of all, it's obviously significant president biden had this conversation, prime minister netanyahu, and somebody did, which was an ultimatum in many ways. and i think it's also notable that we're seeing some changes already as the reporter noted, the ezra crossing is being opened. we have the port opening as well. i'd like to see them double or increased the number of inspectors to also enhance the throughput of humanitarian aid going through. and then tomorrow morning, we should find out the results of the investigation into the attack on the world central kitchen workers so it looks like there's some movements so far in terms of distributing
9:26 pm
aid. i mean, we've obviously seen the issues with that even once the few trucks that have gotten through are the number of trucks that have gone through. the problems that in distributing we've seen people killed, people jumping onto these convoys, all sorts of mayhem, trying to get supplies. people are so desperate doesn't israel have some responsibility? i mean, if the us military was in control of this operation, i mean, i've seen the us military work in situations like this there. i mean, isn't that the occupying force isn't the the israeli army doesn't they have some responsibility for the orderly distribution of aid in areas that they have taken control of yes if they are retaining control, but i do they do believe they have some degree of responsibility. this is also where it gets murky on a palestinian side, because obviously there were reports of looting alluding by hungry people, looting by bandits who are trying to still the, the goods and resell them on the black market. and of course,
9:27 pm
there are reports that hamas is in there trying to still the humanitarian aid for them for their own militants or to deny the palestinian people the aid. so it gets really murky there, but you need some type of some type of force scenario because the police force has been dismantled to control that, to prevent whatever those factions are actually on the ground, preventing the people who need it, the innocent civilians from getting that aid >> when you have i mean, i don't know if you've looked at the targeting of these vehicles. it was three separate vehicles over a great distance it seems quite deliberate whether for the reasons are inexplicable at this point, i talked to brock reviewed is very well sourced who talked who said that? a number of the people he is talked to who have served on the ground in gaza, kind of talk about a breakdown between what commanders from the idf may be saying as policy at their headquarters and how troops on the ground and commanders on the ground our actually executing those
9:28 pm
policies that the attitude on the ground is different, perhaps than what central command is saying. if that is true, that seems like a huge issue. do you have those concerns and when you look at some of the things we have seen going on in gaza yeah. >> when you look at what happened with the vehicles clearly marked, they identified where they were moving prom and when we're going to move and the fact they were still targeted indicates that there was at least a breakdown somewhere or are the commanders on the ground being reckless because they are afraid or because they don't agree with the policy being thank set forth. i think this is why the investigation is so very important, and i've argued that maybe we need to put provide us military experts in there as well to assist to look over their shoulders, to help out where they can, and to kind of referees some of this because i think that is a fundamental question, is, is the guidance being ignored from the top? is this widespread or wasn't? it' a local incident where mistake w made and look in comt mistakesre made i know from my servicen the go war and
9:29 pm
then of course my subsequent serve, these things happen and that's why investigations are important to get to the bottom of it. hold people accountable, and then make sure you take corrective actions, actions to prevent any breakdowns are miscoordination or for mistaken identity from happening again, how would you compare the i mean, i've heard prime minister netanyahu in the past sort of talk about the death toll in gaza and say essentially that the ratio of civilians to what he says are hamas members the ratio of killings between how many civilians are killed per hamas member are about 11 to what the us military would tolerate. is that when you look at the numbers, when you look at the numbers of wound knew and he looked at the numbers of dead. do you think a us operation would have been handled a lot differently? >> yeah. first of all, they saved the 32,000 killed at least a third are militants from hamas is what was 20 battalions of hamas, of which
9:30 pm
four are remaining believed to be in rafah, which is why netanyahu wants to go into rafah to get rid of disable those remaining four battalions look, i hate to say it sounds really cool holding the theoretical, but yes, us experts have said that the ratio of civilians killed two militants killed is roughly on par, if not better than other western militaries. now, every circumstance is different. obviously, gaza is highly dense we know that hamas is using civilians in civilian infrastructure to occupy and they're putting them out there as human shields that complicates at all, which has all the more reason why the attacking force in this case, the idf has to take extra special care and to avoid as much collateral damage and the killing of civilians as possible >> they say they've done that to you to look like they've done that it's hard to say sitting over here and not being on the ground and not looking at each situation and of itself i think as president biden has ramped up his concerns, one would think that they would limit the use of airstrikes and
9:31 pm
increase the use of ground forces. of course, that means that you expose your ground forces to more risk two more, the likelihood of them being killed or injured, but that's that's the risk military takes its soldiers take when you're undergoing urban combat because you are trying to avoid civilian casualties, know the rule of thumb that we took out of iraq and afghanistan is, you don't want to create more terrorists that you kill in the military operation and clearly, clearly at this point one would believe they are creating more militants, but certainly they've lost the strategic imperative of global support now, on the cusp of maybe losing some degree of us support as well, and the united states is its greatest ally. and we've got to remember too that hamas isn't the only threat de face. they got hezbollah in the north when they're exchanging constant fire with them in southern lebanon. and given what's happened in recent days with the ron, there's a palpable concern in israel today that they may see some type of strikes from iran after what happened monday and syria secretary esper, i appreciate
9:32 pm
