skis cnn breaking news, the breaking news tonight. >> a full jury plus all six alternates. now sworn in for donald trump's first criminal trial. that ties up over these states to begin on monday or senior justice first got another presence outside the courthouse had been happened with all the late developments, evan, what do we know well, well, at this moment, we now have a jury and the judge held a hearing after swearing in that jury that had to do with a number of things the former president's lawyers wanted to argue against the prosecution's attempt to use certain evidence in case the former president decides to take the stand to testify on his own behalf and during this hearing a couple of hours, judge, juan, i especially at

the end, it grew a little bit impatient with the width the trump team, because they were trying to relitigate he believed he was it's trying to relitigate some of the things that he had already decided. >> for instance, his decision to allow the prosecution to bring up the the video from access hollywood video, which the judge said, you can't play the video, but you can make reference to it. the trump team wanted to relitigate that the judge grew quite frustrated saying at some point. you have to accept my rulings on that now, we expect that this will go to that on monday. the opening statements will begin, but then there's going to be a break both because of the passover holiday which begins on monday night there was also there was also a hearing before the appeals court dealing with trump's separate request to change the venue of the trial. >> tell us what happened there. >> right. just in the middle of

the hearing that was still ongoing here. well, if up just uptown, there was a hearing, but the appeals court where the former president's legal team was trying to asked for a stay. they wanted basically freeze the proceedings pending their request to change venue. now, the former president has made it very clear that he believes he cannot get a fair fair hearing in this in manhattan. he wants to move the trial. the judge their denied that stay the former president's legal team kim is still, of course, going to proceed with trying to make that taste. they believed that this case should not be tried here in manhattan. but as we've watch, these proceedings would allow us four days. will it's very clear that this is a diverse jury. we have ten women, eight menn cross-section of new yorkers, people who, some of whom, support the former president. and so it's clear that this is not a jury carry the one that donald trump

is trying to portray, that's completely against him. this is a jury that is a lot more diverse and it is it clear that he can get get a fair trial in new york city okay. >> good point to evan perez. thank you very much. our chief legal analyst, laura coates, is also outside the courthouse in new york city. laura, as we heard as we head full steam toward this trial, trump continues to rail against that so-called gag order watch and listen to this again, water has to come home people are allowed to speak about me and i haven't gag just to show you how much more unfair it is laura, how much of an issue is this you know, this gag order is not intended to silence a defendant for the sake of silencing and defendant, every defendant has a right to a defense, and of course, a presumption of innocence. >> the goal of a gag orders to ensure a fair trial that includes not only for statements made about& five,

the defendant, but also savings that might intimidate threaten, or otherwise interfere with a witness's ability to testify freely. a juror's ability to feel they can be partial or to not feel threatened or intimidated for a particular result. the judge's been very clear about 2nd, these parameters in an interest of the interest of justice here. and now, the manhattan da's office hoping to have and convince the judge that there should be sanctions are consequences. what they say, or at least seven different violations of the gag order to remind people what it says. the gag order bars trump from making or directing others to make public statements about but any prospective juror or any juror in this criminal proceeding. it also goes on to talk about witnesses, and of course, barred from it is not including the judge himself or of course, the men patten da, but it's hoping to ensure that there can be a fair trial. we are waiting to still hear more about that this coming tuesday when after what are supposed to be opening, saving once on monday, the judge will still grapple with this. remember, is an ongoing threat anytime there

is the prospect for a witness or a juror to be threatened or intimidated, and the judge wants a bent that at all costs. and one of the things that he wouldn't be pointing to most assuredly, is through social media posting. as you can recall, wolf back on truth, social so just on wednesday, the former president quoted, attributed to fox news host jesse watters, the following statement in quotation marks, quote, they are catching undercover for liberal activists, lying to the judge in order to get on the trump jury unquote. now, of course, there's no evidence to substantiate that particular claim. remember, the very next day there was the juror who then said that she could no longer be in did not want to be on the jury because she felt that some aspect of her anonymity had been compromised. now these two might be tangent generally related, but it's enough for a judge to have some pause over what is said. and this will be the key in part for that gag order motion hearing on tuesday her laura her coat a stick around. >> there's more we need to discuss. i want to bring in other experts to discuss as

well a norm eisen opening statements are now set for monday morning, as you know, if you were on the prosecutors team how would you craft your argument? >> well, we've already seen a foreshadowing of what the prosecutors are going to do. i was in court all week and they kicked off the case by arguing that this is an important election interference matter that they structured a set of evidentiary arguments to preview what i think we will see when i'll be back there on monday, namely that voters were deceived by the payment to stormy daniels, that that was done to grasp presidential power to be elected. and then that there was a cover up and in fact, all those elements are in the technical building blocks for this felony falsification of business

records because you need to have a criminal intent to conceal another crime for it to be a felony. and so they are saying criminal election influence alleged. so they're going to try to make it an important democracy matter, not just a minor hush money, pick a della, good point that jim schultz, you're one of trump's white house lawyers. how do you think his legal team is strategizing around opening statements so i think they're going to focus on a couple of things. >> one, this is a felony and it's charged as a felony only because of the underlying alleged crime and the underlying alleged crime is a campaign. federal campaign finance violation that was never charged, was never brought against donald trump there was a there was a plea agreement with michael cohen, but that does not the judge has been specific that you cannot tie that in this case to president trump. so i think they're going to focus on that

number one. number two, they're going to focus on the fact that they're going to try to bring out and make the argument that this is michael cohen's vendetta against his former boss, that he's angry. he he was charged, he pled guilty to a crime, serve time for crime. and this is just all about out of vendetta and they're going to tack the credibility of michael cohen all day, every day interesting, laura, give us your analysis of today's so-called sandoval hearing and explain to our viewers what that is. a sandoval hearing is a fancy way of saying, i want to put the defendant on notice about what kinds of questions they might ask you if you do decide to testify in your own defense. now, it is the prerogative of a defendant to do so or not to do so at an instruction to the jury that they cannot hold it against a defendant if they opt not to do so. but a defendant wants to know what is ahead of me. and so the prosecution has already told the court and problem has and the defense counsel, the types and categories of

information they will raise things like the prior civil fraud trial, the e jean carroll trial, as well to discussion since that has happened in the past, it might be of a legal matter all under the category of a prior bad acts now be issue here though, why defense counsel always has an issue with it is because you cannot use what's called propensity evidence, meaning i'm going to bring up all the bad things you've been accused of doing hoping that the jury will see that and say, because this person has done bad before then they must have done bad now, that is not fair. it is not adjust process. so the judge is going to try to keep out that which would make that same sort of similar intimation having he said that though, if you open that pandora's box there is always a concern for defense counsel& you open the door to be able to be impeached. they call it by these things, not the political impedance judgment, but your credibility attack in front of a criminal jury. that's impeachment in this context, that you do run the risk of having undermining your entire defense now one

interesting point i'll leave you with this wolf is that they raised the idea if trump was fair game, then shouldn't michael cohen be fair game as well to bring up other prior bad acts he has been involved in towards the judge had one response. we're not going to start comparing apples to oranges in the end of the end of the day, this judge is not want to and i'm quoting him, have a trial within a trial, and we're going to see by monday what the judge is decision will be as to what will be said for the big questions still will donald trump take the stand in his own defense? in a few weeks from now she'll find out norm. how do you expect the judge to rule on what can come up in this trial? i thought the sandoval notice was somewhat conservative wealth in terms of their even more information about donald trump that could have been included on cross-examination he has been

very evenhanded and very fair. but the law of new york is that if donald trump testifies these issues which go to his credibility, which go to his prior bad acts on cross-examination, as laura says, for impeachment are fair game okay so i think the prosecution will get more than half a loaf. they'll get most of what they want, like what the access hollywood tape they didn't get the tape itself, but they got the transcript of the tape. they can talk about it. so i expect that the sandoval ruling will favor the people will favor district attorney alvin bragg his team. >> yeah. interesting, jim. >> this all centers around trump's insistence on testifying during the course of this trial, would you put trump on the stand in this trial? i think. we. have, to. wait and see what the judge says relative to what is able to come out with those prior bad acts until you hear what the judge says on those topics, it's really too early to make

that determination as to whether donald trump should or should not take the stand and his lawyers will be looking at that closely when they're making that recommendation. but again, he's the defendant in the case. it's ultimately going to be his decision and we all know whether his his history of taking the advice of his lawyers from time to time. so stay tuned yeah. >> it's not necessarily a mixed history usually doesn't necessarily take the advice of his lawyers. everyone stay with me. we have a lot more where do you discuss coming up? we'll have much more in today's very dramatic de in court for donald trump. but there are also new developments in major story we're following. the new details but and what's being described as a limited retaliatory military strike on iran by israel. stay with us. you're in the situation there's new ally in the fight against climate change. >> this is new car business blue carbon. we just need to protect nature will do the rest. >> corbyn plus cnn filled

>> take a step back for us. what have been your biggest takeaways and what stood out the most to you today? >> well, if i was struck from the moment we got to the courtroom with the forcefulness of prosecutors, the jury wasn't there yet monday morning was supposed to be asleep, the affair of some remaining evidentiary motions but they used those motions to present the case to preview the case for the judge and they did present it as an election interference case. it is not just a federal campaign finance that makes this falsifying business records of fence into a felony. they also pointed to the new york state election influence statute corrupt election influence statute, and to tax crimes as well that trump was intending to misclassify the payments so they have belt and suspenders& duct tape to hold up their case. and then when the judge

brought the jury in for the first time, he did a neutral summary. this is a very, very fair judge, but the first substantive words that he said to the jury and i wrote about this for cnn opinion kenyan was that the prosecution alleges a conspiracy, criminal conspiracy to influence the 2016 presidential election. and i think you felt in the courtroom the stakes when the jurors started answering questions, everyone understands the gravity of it. and when donald trump got a little out of hand and and was gesticulating, rolling his eyes and carrying on as one juror was being questioned juror left the judge came down on him like a ton of bricks and wolf. i've never seen donald trump, so dejected. he slumped in his seat. he is head was dropping you staring carrying in his lap. he felt the gravity as well certainly did laura, we've spoken a lot about trump railing against

this gag order what options that the judge actually have to keep trump in line. >> and do you expect trump to toe the line through weeks of trial well, certainly the average defendant, if they were to violate a court issued gag order, they would have the realm of possibilities up to an including a monetary fine that it'd be graduated and scale per each violation, hoping perhaps at the lower end as a way to deterrent was a terror, but also to have some benefit of the doubt extended to a distance send in into a graduate increasingly so up to and likely including jailing the person they called, stepping the person back for the pendency of the action. >> now, there are some impracticality of reasons it's and talking about the whether it'd be a viable option for this judge to step back the president for largely the same reason, he for a question whether if he were to be convicted, the 34 counts where cheese it's charged that he would be able to be in jail. this is a non-violent first-time essentially criminal offender in this aspect for the

purposes of the judge. and so that'll be taking consideration with the judge certainly has its disposal, the ability to to do so. there was a moment as well, by the way, today, during the hearing where defense council, again repeated their requests, frankly, their insistence to get the witness information for those who'd be testifying. you can recall oh, wool that the prosecution did not want to hand it over because they were concerned about not only violation of the gag order, but about what this could mean for the jury. witnesses who might be testifying while the defense council offered well, could you if you ordered us not to tell our client knowing that they would essentially be admitting that they may not have the same trust relationships even prevent that person from speaking was a really notable moment here. and so they have a lot of things at their disposal come tuesday and we'll find out what the judge will exercise in the end. >> jim, if the gag order is really so important, why is the hearing to determine if trump violated it? why is it not being held until tuesday?

>> look, we've seen i've said this time and time again he is going to continue his rant on truth social, no doubt about it unless there's a real incentive him for him not to do it. he's going to continue to attack michael cohen, especially when michael cohen attacks him on twitter. he's going to continue to so real away on the judge. he's going to real away on the prosecutor as it being politically motivated and alvin bragg is an elected official. he's gonna, he's gonna come after alvin bragg with everything he has and the judge really doesn't have as much. >> he's got the authority to put them in jail, but i don't all i think that does is delay the trial even further. >> the one thing the judge doesn't want is the delay this trial. i just don't think they're going to end up threatening the former president or someone running for president united states with jail time. so it's gonna be really difficult to put those shackles on donald trump yeah, i suspect you're right on that as well. >> laura for prosecutors say

they refused to share the witness list with the defense, fearing trump will post about those witnesses on social media. is that normal to not share witness lists with the opposing side? >> one can you blame them for having some level of skepticism on this very issue, wolf and number two normally the prosecution when they call ready, they are under the obligation to present a witness list or someone for the jury to ask if they know certain witnesses who might in fact be a part of the trial and they know the general basis of those who might be called, but they're also asking for the chronology and the order of how the witnesses we call, which is part of a legal strategy for the prosecution. we are all wondering about who will go so first, knowing that primacy and recency is the method by which prosecutors and trial attorneys govern themselves. the first thing a jury hears, and the last thing they here are going to be the most resonant with the jury. and so they'd also like to know some aspects of strategy and for that, prosecutors are under no

obligation to disclose that normally you wanted to way it now, just to agree with laura, she hit the nail on the head and the normal courtesies here, wealth are called into question by donald trump's extreme behavior and the case is normal. and at the same time, the most extraordinary we've ever seen everyone. >> thank you so so much it remember, you can see laura on her show. laura coates live later tonight, 11:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn up next and exclusive look at an iranian airbase purportedly targeted overnight by israel we're going to show you the satellite images and have a live report from the region every weekday morning, cnn's five things has what you need to get going with your day. >> it's the five essential stories of the morning in five minutes or less. >> cnn's five things with kate bolduan streaming weekdays

progress. >> i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon. >> and this is cnn loved much more on trump's historic hush money trial. i had the right now, we're also getting a clear indication of the impact of israel's overnight strike on iran. satellite images obtained exclusively by cnn and then show no extensive damage and an iranian airbase believed to be the main target cnn's nic robertson reports directed tax by the two countries appear to be over at least for now ambiguity, not escalation iran's response to explosions in the sky near isfahan military base. several hundred miles south of tehran events under investigation read nothing see here, the objects were suspicious and our defense system acted swiftly thank god. there were no major issues satellite images exclusively obtained by cnn appear to

support damage on the ground was minimal us officials informed of an unspecified israeli strike just hours before iran's air defenses went on alert in the early hours of friday iran's response anti israel kelly manifesting on the streets of tehran where large crowds can only gather when sanctioned by the government. >> another indication for now anger could take to shouting not sending missile salvos as it did last weekend approximately 350 drones cruise and ballistic missiles fired at israel following a deadly strike on the iranian consulate in damascus, almost three weeks ago mostly intercepted without major damage. >> but shani maha node prime minister showing and allies calls take the win, but vowed to strike back on. >> now, ambiguity, silence from

israeli officials, except for an illuminating online spat. hard-right cabinet member it tomorrow in kabir posting on x, lame quickly lambasted by centrist position leader yair lapid. never before has a minister in the defense cabinet done such heavy damage to the country's security. its unforgivable, much& onset. the stakes had appeared extremely high iran's foreign minister in the moments before the attack, promising instant devastating retaliation i think we first started to get an indication that wouldn't be retaliation, just a few hours after the strike, i spoke to a regional intelligence source at the time, well-informed, well-connected he was assessment that that time in the early hours of this morning was even then that iran was wasn't going to retaliate. and i think that's obviously what we've seen happened through the day they're both sides seem to sort of taken a

strategic off-ramp here. but the red lines that were crossed that got both sides into the situation and now blurred and i think the war really fundamentally the tension between the two countries hasn't really changed what has happened is for a moment it seemed that the sort of the cost of an escalation or real regional conflict and bloodshed that came a bit closer. that's perhaps receded, but i think everyone has had a much closer embed a look at just how quickly you could get to that type of escalation. but i'm big ambiguity for now. and perhaps both sides can take a wind domestically out of this wolf. >> we will see dick roberts jerusalem. thank you very much for joining us now, staff writer for the new yorker, susan glasser and new york times white house, national security correspondent david sanger his new book, by the way, is entitled there you see the cover, new cold war's soucie. let me start with you. do you think this is the end of

the retaliatory strikes between iran and israel, or do you think there are more to come well, well, if i suspect the sound you hear is the sound of a lot of people exhaling cautiously, right now in the region and here in washington, i think there was a lot of anxiety ever since last week is unprecedented iranian strike from their territory directly into israel several, missiles, drones, as you know, they were basically all shot down, but still an enormous barrage. >> and israel did not seem to be listening to counsel from the vitamin is duration to avoid, take the win and avoid keeping this cycle going. but perhaps the mutant nature of the response to this strikes suggests that for now, it's over, but frankly, i just feel like we're entering a new and very dangerous phase and the confrontation between israel and iran, even if this round is over david in your important new book titled new cold war's,

you argue the west underestimated both china and russia. >> do you fear the us is also now underestimating iran my biggest fear out of this one is that it was the israelis who may have underestimated iran. oddly enough, given their fixation on iran throughout they did not calculate wolf that the killing of these seven irgc islamic revolutionary guard command commanders would provoke the kind of overwhelming attack that they successfully stopped. >> and the nurse excepted last weekend and it's great that everybody is taking a breeder now, but think about where we are now versus a week ago for the first time in 45 years since the islamic revolution we have seen a direct attack from

iranian territory on israel and a small but direct attack in response. that's a new world and a new place. and while i completely agree with susan that everybody is now taking a breather, maybe scared by what they had begun to go. do i also think that the restraint, the taboo, is now gone and that worries me because i think there's every chance that the uranian reaction to this will be the double down on the nuclear program. yeah, we shall see that could be so, so disturbing susan, an italian official says the united states was quote, informed at the last minute by the israelis about the attack overnight on a run. what do you make of that well, i was struck by how much the americans were not wanting to get into the middle of this story. >> they were not even providing, i would say the usual at least background confirmation. two american

journalists? yes, indeed, these happened. they really wanted the israelis. it seems to me to own this in a way, especially because they had been so public the days leading up to it. and they're advice to the netanyahu government to essentially avoid escalating the situation even further and perhaps even holding off striking all together. so i think there's a real desire here in washington on the part of the administration not to be in the middle of this round of retail palliation and striking between israel and iran. >> but of course that's a distinction perhaps without a difference in tehran, which views the united states and israel as, as as intertwined partners. david jordan's foreign minister just told my colleague, jim sciutto, the israeli prime minister, benjamin, the time yeah, it was benefiting from the recent escalation in the middle east. do you agree yeah, there's

certainly an argument to be made along those lines. >> we'll think about it a week ago before this time, he was facing an angry president, the united states, who was threatening vaguely to put conditions on the aid & particularly the arms that the united states provides israel if they didn't open up more aid to gaza, if they didn't allow the convoys to safely make their way in, i think that killing of those aid workers deeply angered biden. >> this has completely changed the conversation important. david sanger isn't glasser to both of you. thank you very much. once again, david's new book is entitled new cold war's, there's the cover just ahead heightened security concerns outside court in new york after a man sets himself on fire, glove, a live report on what police are now saying chasing life, dr. sanjay gupta,

if you, or a loved, one have mesothelial mac will send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and we'll come to you 808 to one for today, the house voted to advance a key foreign aid package, a major step towards sending billions and to support both ukraine and israel. >> but an extraordinary move board macron's supportive the procedural measure today than republicans, a move that has put the speaker mike johnson's job in some jeopardy. with, a third republican now saying he supports ousting the speaker. cnn's melanie zanona is joining us live from capitol hill right now. not only momentum seems to be growing a bit among republicans to remove johnson, what's the latest yes, speaker mike johnson's job is in real jeopardy and that is because he has had to rely on democrats throughout every step of this process when it comes to passing foreign aid, including four key procedural votes, which are almost always done along party lines.

>> so that has really spark a revolt on the right and hit his fueled new calls to oust him from the speakership. a third republican member that's paul gosar of arizona, announced today that he was signing on to officially who sponsor that resolution on the motion to vacate the speakership. other highlanders, not quite ready to go that route though, making their fury with the speaker known, but speaker mike johnson has delivered a forceful defense of his plans on foreign aid. take a listen we were we would write republicans were in charge of the house and senate and the white house this is the best possible product we can get. >> these circumstances to take care of these really important and so we let look forward to every member vote in their conscience there the desire and that is exactly how this process is supposed to work and how the house is supposed now, the house has adjourned for the de already. >> so the earliest that marjorie taylor greene could actually force a floor vote on the motion to vacate is tomorrow. that is the same day

when the house is expected to pass this package of four foreign aid bills before they send them over to the senate. but given the math here and given that there are three republicans now backing the motion to vacate, that means if this were to come to the floor, that johnson would need to rely on democrats to bail him out. wolf and it's interesting, the house minority leader, hakeem jeffries, the top democrat in the house declined to say whether democrats will save this bigger what are you hearing from democrats yes. >> so most democrats are not making any commitments just yet, but wolf and talking to democrats behind the scenes, they are definitely signaling an openness to coming in and stepping in and saving genc mike johnson's speakership. they really appreciate the fact that johnson defied his right flank and is willing to put this package of senate foreign foreign aid bills on the floor, which vary. does closely mirror, mirror what the senate it had passed earlier this year. >> and democrats, just like many republicans, are sick of the chaos, are really worried about another potential motion to vacate and just what type of harm that could do on the institution long-term. >> but of course in this

congress, nothing is guaranteed. so that is something we're gonna be closely watching in the days to come will. sure. we will are at melanie zanona up on capitol hill. thank you. i want to bring in our white house by priscilla alvarez right now. priscilla what is the white house saying about these developments? >> while well, if president biden has thrown his support behind these national security bills, but to remind viewers, these were funds that the president requested last year. and over the last several months. the way that the us and the white house has framed this as a matter of national security that it was a priority to get these funds across the finish line to not cede any ground to russia and especially in this moment, what we have heard over and over from us officials is that these funds are urgent and that they are necessary for ukraine. in fact, just this week in a wall street journal op-ed, president biden called this quote a pivotal moment. and earlier this morning, the office of management and budget echoed that hang in a statement, quote, passing this legislation would send a powerful message about the strength of american

leadership at a pivotal moment, the administration urges both chambers of congress to quickly send this supplemental funding package to the president's desk. it's worth noting that point about strength of american leadership. we have seen that this has been a recurring topic of discussion between president biden and foreign leaders as he tries to make the point that the us will stand by ukraine even as this package has been stalled in congress. now, notably this week, the cia director burns also said that ukraine could lose the war against russia by the end of the year if they don't get the additional funds. so clearly a top priority for this administration and this white house now, asked earlier today how involved the white house is going to be this weekend? to get this across the finish line, the white house press secretary said the white house with members of congress and their staff over the last several days. there wasn't an expectation that president biden is going to jump on the phone with house speaker mike johnson we'll be watching for

that. but clearly the white house really eager to make sure that this passes so that they can get those funds to you. ukraine's the vote in the house goes up tomorrow, then it goes to the senate where it's expected to pass. then the president will have to sign it into law. the situation though right now in ukraine, is clearly dire. how quickly does the white house think they can actually get the weapons to ukraine if this passes well, the white house press secretary said they could do it quickly and it really is incumbent on congress to pass these bills so they can make that happen. of course, we have seen over the time that when there are losses on the battlefield in ukraine, us officials have tied that to this stalled supplemental essentially saying that because they don't have those extra funds, those extra munitions they're losing and ceding ground to russia and they've used that as data points. really bring congress along and make the point to republicans that they needed to get this passing, get this, these bills across the finish line. of course, clearly a priority with president jumping on the phone

with the house speaker. earlier this week when this plan came to fruition. but for now, the white house saying that if they can get these funds and of course, as you noted, it will take some time for the process to play out. they will get those weapons to you ukraine. ukraine quickly ukrainians really need those weapons. priscilla alvarez. >> thank you very much coming up all the key moments or donald trump's hush money trial are special. >> our the situation room. trump trial today. that's coming up next the sinking of the titanic, how it really happens, especially to our we're sunday, april 28, nine on cnn, sarlin basises never easy. >> the star and eight months pregnant. that's a different story with the choice inke card, we got up and running in no time earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase. but the taste ink business
