states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer, a urine the situation room the skis cnn breaking new. >> let's get right to the breaking news or new york appeals court. judge, just rejecting donald trump's emergency request to stop his hush money trial from starting this coming monday. see those kara scannell is outside the courthouse in new york city for us. kara give us the latest yeah. >> well, if this is the third attempt to delay the trial in three days and the third loss for former president donald trump, there were arguments, just a short time ago where the appeals court judge heard from both trump's attorneys and prosecutors in the case. and what trump's lawyers were arguing is they want this trial stop because they said they want a challenge the judge because he he hasn't recused himself in this case based on work. his daughter has done for political consulting firm that has worked with democrats and they also wanted to stop the case because they don't like the judge's ruling on

presidential immunity. trump's lawyers wanted to stop the trial because it until the supreme court rules in a different case on presidential immunity, the judge said that they made that motion can far too late in arguing to the judge, trump's attorney, emile bove, said, this can only be done once, and it must be done right, because the impact it will have on this election that a lawyer for the district attorney's office, steven wu, is their chief appellate attorney. he had pushed back on this saying that this was entirely the wrong way to challenge any of these rulings. so that can only hey, don procedurally after there is a conclusion to this case, a verdict in this trial, he urged the judge saying there is a powerful public interests to ensure this trial moves forward on the scheduled date and just a short time after that, the judge issued this ruling denying the stay, denying trump's effort to stop the trial. what was extraordinary today will win is that this court had a full calendar of appeal arguments, that it was hearing what they had to do was move this down to the basement to rearrange the tables to create a makeshift courtroom so

they could accommodate this hearing today. so they created a table for the judge, a table for the attorneys to argue, and then a table and chairs in the back for us in the media media to be able to witness this event. but they made this extraordinary accommodation which maybe the first time they've ever done this in order to address this emergency action brought by the former president. but as we said, this is the third attempt in three days to try to stop this trial. and so far there ofer three jury selection is still set to begin on monday. >> we'll be watching kara scannell i'll reporting for us. thank you very, very much. i want to bring in our political and legal experts, including norm eisen, who is out with a timely, very important brand new book entitled trying trump. a guide to his first election interference, criminal trial. there you see the cover right there on your screen. norm, let me get your reaction to this appeals court, once again, denied hi these trump trump requests >> well, if you have to ask yourself what is the source of this extraordinary desperation? i have never seen anything like

this two of these are lawsuits against the judge and in my book, trying trump, i am analyze where i think this this a frenzy is coming from. he stands a significant risk of being convicted and sentenced to incarceration, and he knows it. and the nature of the trial is has been expressed by the judge in what he's going to read to the jury, wolf, as being allegations of election interference. in essence. so that is why the connection is here, 2016 allegations of lying to voters to manipulate an election. and then as a gateway drug to 2020, that's why trump is so alarmed harmed in this extraordinary failed effort keeps failing and keeps making these requests to delay and it keeps failing every single time. andrew mccabe, are there any avenue is still left open, put attentionally for trump to continue this effort to try to

slow things down with a lot of lawyers and a lot of money to pay those voters with. there's always another option to open for mr. trouble. we've seen him take advantage of every one of those, but i do think what we're seeing here is the very stark difference between the state criminal justice system and the federal system here in the state, they deal with a much higher volume of defendant's of motions of last-minute efforts to delay trials. and they do it much more quickly. today's >> long >> two weeks to file a response and then a sir rebuttal, and then we have oral arguments and then we think about it for a month. these things are happening very quickly. i expect if any other motions are filed, they will be dispatched with the same sort of haste and, you know, we, should not be surprised by what donald trump is doing. this is the cloud classic. donald trump playbook. he wants to delay so he and we can see some more between, between now and monday. he's going to try everything >> but

>> i've spoken to several legal experts, lawyers who deal with judge merchan. they say he is smart, he is experiencing variance. he is decisive that if anyone can handle this he is the judge to do it. i think there's one piece of advice that are two lawyers can say that lawyers normally give their clients don't attack the judge. it's why no one to light clearly. i don't know that his lawyers gave him that advice, but certainly donald trump has done the opposite here, which is also part of loria into this conversation, what do you think's behind all of these trump efforts to delay delay, delay. well, >> obviously he wants to put it off till after the election. so if he wins, he can dismiss it. that's number one. but this particular case is so tawdry it's about paying hush money to a porn star. and while that's not the charge, the

charge is about election interference and trying to hide the money so he could win the election in 2016. it's embarrassing. the whole subject matter is embarrassing. the people who are going to testify, stormy daniels the porn star, michael cohen, his former attorney. now his sworn enemy, is gonna, is gonna testify about what trump asked him to do. so it's kinda juicy and i don't think trump wants to sit through that. and i don't think it's going to be good for him to sit through that. so there are lots of reasons to try and delay it. and the third reason of course, is he's got a campaign for the presidency. and that takes up a little bit of your time and he'll be stuck in court four days a week. >> yeah, he certainly will be andrew. how is this jury selection process likely to win fold? and what's your expectation >> i think we'll see a bit. we've gotten a preview of what some of the questions are already. we know that both sides are going to be asking maybe questions that we don't

normally see in jury selection, things about this sort of media that perspective jurors typically rely on channels they watch. maybe the periodicals they read questions about political affiliation of already been debated. so you don't see those in a typical trial, but essentially what the prosecutors are going for are likely highly educated people who they think can be impartial that's of course the standard for jurors. now you don't have a right to have a jury of your own political supporters or, or friends or enemies for that matter, you simply have a right to a jury of your peers and folks who have said that they can be impartial and they're weighing the evidence, so i don't think there'll be quite as many fireworks is maybe some folks or imagining you're not be fireworks, or this will be history unfolding this is the first time in american history, jaime, that former us president will be in facing the criminal trial. >> i absolutely to andy's 0.1 of the things we're going to see in this jury selection is which jurors each side can get

rid of because you have a pool there some you'll be able to get knocked off for cause. but some of it is the luck of the draw. and who's going to be there? >> yeah. i'm gonna be watching that very closely. i'm fascinated in your new book, norm trying trump are you write this and i want to put it up on the screen. if trump is convicted the judge will have a range of sentencing options at his disposal da bragg district attorney bragg will be able to make a compelling argument that trump's crimes warrant incarceration. how likely is it that a former president of the united states will actually sit in a jail well there's two parts to the question. well, if and of course we have to remember donald trump is not above the law, but he's not below the law. he's innocent until proven guilty. but with trial just a few days away, with all these delay efforts failing, we now have to ask, what is the end game of this trial? and my original research for the book indicated that

defendants who commit these 34 felonies of document falsification of business records when there are aggravating circumstances which we have here as the judge has an attempt to influence an election that might have influenced a very close election when you have a very unrepentant defendant, we have that here as well. it seems unlikely he'll change course in those circumstances if there is a conviction, you do get jail time. it can be as much as a year and a third to four year range. and we will just have to see if the president ever serves it >> well, i find it very unlikely that he would serve it i find it very unlikely that you would sentence of former president to jail time i'm there are other alternatives, correct? i mean, well, community service, i don't know >> my eyes are a little blurry after reviewing almost 10,000 new york cases? yes. you do get jail time for this well, make

bring it back good reason >> and taking care by all this coming only two days after the former president said abortion laws should be left to the states. president joe biden today responding to the arizona ruling offering this message to voters in the state, elect me. i'm in a 20 20th century, 21st century a biden campaign spokesperson saying in a statement donald trump owns the suffering and chaos happening right now, including an arrows zona, because he proudly overturned roe. >> the >> campaign also planning to dispatch vice president kamala harris to the state on friday, seeing the arizona ban as an issue that could galvanize voters, a critical battleground state in 2020, biden flipped arizona, winning by fewer than 11,000 votes after trump carried the state four years earlier against hillary clinton, proven guy got on the arizona ruling also reverberating in this dates

hotly contested senate race, which could determine control of the chamber. republican kari lake city saint she opposes the decision calling for an immediate common sense solution despite voicing support for the lawn we will prohibit abortion in arizona except to save the life of a mother and i think we're goi to be setting the paving the way a setti follow lakes democratic o oppones, ruben gallego, that i'm sorry to the women of arizona calling the ruling devastating and highlighting leaks, pass >> support for the ban there has en, a considerable amount of uncertainty and confusion in the ground in arizona following this ruling for right now, the ruling is on hold for two weeks to allow the four core challenges meantime, supporters

of abortion rights, they are looking ahead to november. they hope arizona voters, wolf will be a ballot measure protect abortion rights in the state. wolf. all right, sunlen serfaty porting for us. sunlen. thank you much. let's t some more and all of these developments joining us now, political veterans from both parties and sah longwell, let me share it with you. you speak to voters all the time. is this an effective appeal from trump to republin leaning women who' dried? get away because of roe >> you don't typically donald trump is actually pretty gd at triangulating on abortion. the prlem fohim in arizona for him. so disasteror him, and it'a disaster for kari lake, the problem is, is that this is going to be a valid initiative and abortion will be actually literally on the ballot. and that is going to help j biden witturnout. it's going to help joe biden with entasm and the biggest thing that abortion es agnst republicans, right now is that it paints them as

extremist. and kari lake she race in arizona in 2022, 's largely because people saw her as too extreme and abortion was one of the reasons they believed that she was too extreme. she also happens to be an election denier, but abortion played a big role in her loss and so now you've got a critical swing state where biden was hang somtrouble with hispanic ters. and so the state's very much in play, even though biden won at last time, that now it looks like trump is going to have to play defense on this issue where it is really going to galvanize democratic voters and it's going to take swing voters who have been backsliding against biden and put them back in biden's column because now abortion is literally on the ballot. >> yeah, very important points indeed, actually allyson, back in 2018 then president trump publicly declared he would sign a 20 week abortion ban. so how seriously do you take his claim now that he wouldn't do so? >> i do not believe president trump, when he says that he would not sign an abortion ban,

his whole presidency was about overturning roe by appointing supreme court justices. but did it. he is saying he wants to take it. let the states decide the states are deciding and the states are out of touch with the voters that live in mm i don't believe donald trump at his word. why would you he has proven to be at untruthful person, and so right now what he is doing is pandering to voters, telling them what they want to hear to get a victory. and then he will betray you if he is elected kari lake is doing the same thing. many folks are doing the same thing and so when we see these states for these extreme restrictions on women's reproductive rights, voters are waking up and saying, you're out of touch with how i want you out of my doctor's office. and donald trump is out of two and he's just doing this right now for politics, not really the belief he doesn't believe the policy that he is saying right? >> sarah, how concerned should democrats be the trump potentially could successfully mitigate the political impact

of abortion in the 2024 presidential elections i, mean, look, i have been saying all along that the abortion issue is tougher to hang on. donald >> trump because voters view him actually as a social moderate. nobody thinks that donald trump is like mike pence on sexual morality or an issues of pro-life or pro-choice. when you talk to voters about abortion and donald trump, they sort of suggests that they think he may have paid for an abortion in his lifetime. they certainly don't view him as somebody who is devoutly pro-life. and so that is actually worked in his favor with some swing voters, allowing him to see more seem more moderate than he is. but to have it actually on the ballot that presents a real problem for him. and he's not going to be trying to have it both ways right now. he's not gonna be able to do that the whole election.

>> actually, we all heard president biden's comments today when asked about the arizona law is that the full throated condemnation that democrats want to hear >> i think president biden and vice president here as are going to be out there pushing this issue. they really have since roe has been overturned, they need to pull every clip, every tape, every statement, every tweet before trump was the elected while he was in office. and since he's been out of office and hold his feet to the fire on where he stands on abortion and not let him switched his position because we are in this position because of many of his actions while he was president, ashley allison is sarah longwell to both of you. thank you very much coming up the deeply divided house republican conference wraps a contentious meeting up on capitol hill. what it means for the threats to the speaker, mike johnson's leadership. >> also ahead >> multiple suspects are now under arrest after a shooting at a crowded philadelphia park. we'll be right back there's

blunt about the need for more aid to reach palestinians in gaza and for the idf to better protect those civilians. let's bring in cnn's kayla tausche. she's over at the white house worse, kayla, tell us it's more about the president's remarks. >> i'll biden was asked today by a reporter to clarify comments that he made last week that were just released yesterday, in which he called prime minister netanyahu's approach in gaza, a mistake and called on israel to do more to protect civilians and to do it fast >> i have been very blunt straight forward with prime minister bibi and i had a long discussion. he agreed to do several things that related to number one, getting more aid food, and medicine into gaza and reducing significantly the attempts civilian casualties in any action taken in the region. we'll see what he does in terms of meeting the commitments he made me us officials are still waiting on

netanyahu to open at least one more crossing at the border between israel and northern gaza. and biden says that at least 100 trucks of aid have so far come into gaza, but that it's still not enough. and in that press conference, he also called on hamas to accept a hostage deal brokered by cia director bill burns, who is in the region to try to negotiate for a broader deal and a ceasefire and saying that they needed to come to the table and they needed to accept it. will cnn? and as reporting that there are at least 40 hostages that hamas does not have track of to make the terms of the deal actually work. i tried to ask president biden at that press conference whether he believes those hostages are still alive and he did not answer that question. so it remains unclear clear exactly how such aeal could done, but both president bid and prime minister kishida stress that they were fully aligned on the strategy toward the middle east that they wanted an immediate ceasefe protections

for cilians and more humanitarian aid coming into gaza will learn lots going on. kayla >> tausche, thank you very much. we're also following chaos in congress right now. we're house republicans just in the past few minutes, wrapped up very tense meeting amid new threats to the speaker, mike johnson's leadership. let's bring in our chief congressional correspondent, manu raju is up on capitol hill so how is the speaker handling this latest blow? >> well, he is dealing with two major issues that are badly divided. his already fractured republican conference, one of them is to extend key surveillance authority under the foreign intelligence surveillance act. there's a major division among those who believe it's essential to national security and others who believe it infringes on constitutional rights. donald trump urged republicans to kill that measure today, he successfully did so. 19 republicans revolted against the speaker of the house and stop that bill from coming to the floor. then there's aid to ukraine, something that mike johnson is still moving behind the scenes to try to piece

together after he stopped the senate's plan that passed almost two months ago. but that is another issue because some members, including congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, are warning him not to move ahead on that the issue green, of course, has introduced a resolution to oust mike johnson from the speakership and she could call for that vote within two legislative days at any point, she has not made the decision. i went to move forward ford yet, but even as she met with speaker johnson today for 70 minutes in a very tense meaning there are many republicans who are concerned about her effort and warned that it could cause some the majority 40 if she moves ahead >> anyone who votes to vacate him should not be a member of congress in my opinion, obviously, we have to have a speaker, at any effort to remove the current speaker would put us in chaos. and i think it'd be a big mistake. i don't think it's a good idea right now. i think i'll let do his hand the gavel thank came jeffries. >> if he does move forward, any ukraine package, could that cost him his job? >> yeah. i think it'd be a real risk for the speaker to move a

giant package. >> now if you had a chance to vote for the motion to vacate, would you vote for it? >> to the hypothetical so >> and it still uncertain whether not marjorie taylor would have the votes to move ahead some democrats have indicated that they could actually save mike johnson's job if he does move ahead on a ukraine aid package and also how will donald trump come down? mike johnson is headed down tomorrow logo on friday for a joint press conference with donald trump. i asked johnson if he has asked trump for his support amid this fight over the speakership and johnson declined to comment the amount of razo up on capitol hill. thank you very much. let's get some more reaction, right now. democratic congressman jason crow of the colorado was joining us. he sits on both the house intelligence and house foreign affairs committees. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. do you believe democrats should potentially help speaker johnson if he were to face removal? and will you well, i think the immediate goal is to force speaker johnson to put the ukraine

supplemental that ukraine national security bill on the floor. it has overwhelming bipartisan support. a passed the senate by 70 votes, not long ago. a large number public and support it. and we have to push it forward, not just for ukraine's interests, but america's interests. i just got out of a briefing actually on the conflict in sudan in right now, there are 9 million displaced sudanese and 25 million half the population of sudan is in need of humanitarian aid and food aid. that is one of the world's largest penetrating disasters as brewing. and the national security supplemental has that humanitarian aid to address that iss. so that's just o of many exames i've we needed toet this done. >> as you know, speaker johnson hasn't decided on a specific th forward for ukrainea he would likely need democrat votes to pass it but is that even psible now, if it's nked to aid for israel, a lot of democrats right nowre saying they're reluctant to for israel would it need to be

a standalone piece of legislation, the aid for ukraine? >> i don't think so. think we can push forward the senate bill that is the bill that we know that hiv has bipartisan suppt in that can pass and can immediately deliver ukraine the support at it needs to combat the russian invasion and thrussian aggression and things are very desperate right now. and ukraine. so we'd have to make sure we're rushi that aid at the same time. i agree with the remarks f the presidenand the blunt conversations at he's had recently. the situation in gaza this way. israel must back away from its current milary strategy. we must surge humanitarian aid the level o civilian casualtieis untenable and unacceptable. and have to reassess it's that relationship when it comes to the aid, we're providing that allows the israes the ntinued to cduct those operations in gaza, as you know, a congreman several of your democratic colleaes are urging predentiden to

withhold offensive arm transfer condition further military aid to israel with specific specific limits. is that something you would support >> why i've been pushing for months and months and months for a drastic change in israel strategy. and the reason why is because it's serving nobody's interest israel is not more safe now than it was several months ago as a result of their failed strategy, we have increasing escalation with iran the ri of a wider regional war is highethan it's er been us national security interests are not being served either. so i want to very large reassessment and that includes the provision of offensive aid. then so far as the israelis are not listening to us or not responding to our requests are pushed for a massive change then we need to reassess whether or not we continue to give the aid that would allow that to continue. >> democratic congressman jim clyburn of south carolina told me earlier today that israel must win this war against hamas, but the time you, the

prime minister, must go, do you agree? >> well, i agree that prime minister netanyahu must go. i mean, he's not the leader that's going to take israel forward. he is a failed leader in every respect he's not made israel safer he's helped escalate regional tensions. he's not listening to us and he is in my view, enlarge part responsible for these massive humanitarian catastrophe that we are seeing. but when we talk about winning against hamas, you can't do that. just militarily. we learned that from our own 20 year war on terror. if we were able to defeat terrorism with military force alone, we would been able to do it over are 20 year, three trillion dollar war against terrorism that the united states has been undergoing. so we have to address the humanitarian issues. we have to address palestinian statehood we have to get people hope for the future until we do that and figure out a diplomatic solution as well militarily will just keep on spinning our wheels. guardsmen, jason crow thank you very much for joining

seemingly endless headache for american consumers at the cash register and for president biden at the ballot box new numbers showed that annual inflation ticked up higher than expected last month consumer prices rising to a 3.5% increase in the 12 months ending in march, fueled in part by higher mortgage prices and rising gas prices and faces still a threat. but i think it's receding. not likely to continue, but it is not good the president today defending his record combatting inflation, cui have dramatically reduced inflation from my percent. now to close to 3%. we're going to situation where we're better situation than we were. we took office where we are inflation with skyrocketing. >> but this comes as biden's former white house chief of staff i've ron clean, known as a loyalist, slams the president's messaging on the economy in comments obtained by politico clean set his former boss spends too much time talking about infrastructure, quote, i think the president is out there too much talking about bridges. if you go into

the grocery store, you know, eggs and milk are expensive. the fact that there's an effing bridge clean goes on to say, like it's a bridge and how interesting is the bridge? it's a little interesting, but it's not a lot interesting. clean did concede that biden is effective. it's showing compassion for families who are struggling financially and talking about how to bring down costs. but donald trump was quick to pounce on the latest numbers >> i totally lost control it's back, it's raging back >> in a recent poll, only 37% approve of president biden's handling of the economy, while 62% disapprove joe biden certainly has a lot of work to do. i think that we're hearing it from his advisers quietly that they certainly want to talk more about the economy. for >> example, unemployment hasn't been this low this long since richard nixon was president. >> many people have gotten bigger wage increases, then they've seen an inflation, especially the lower income workers i've seen big wage gains more than inflation.

>> still with today's numbers, the fed is now likely to postpone the interest rate cuts expected this year, which would boost the economy and make homes more affordable. >> we don't know what's going to happen to long-term rates. we don't know what's going to happen to the physical situation. we don't know what's going to happen with oil and energy prices, which also fact or can't push through to other forms of inflation. >> so how much of a threat will inflation posed to president biden as 11 day approaches pi, i'm pretty sure inflation will be better by election time, but it's not coming down as fast as many of us would like. >> part of president biden's messaging after those inflation numbers came out today was to try to deflect some of the blame to the republicans. so we said have no plan to combat grd.he president saying te he's callon corporations, includg grocery retailers, t use thr reco profits to reduce prices. wolf interesting brian todd i've reporting for us. thank you, brian very much coming up. we'll check in with st. i'm very danrous for the storms ripping across the southeast right now, stay with
