THIS IS AMERICA THIS MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. I’M ANDREW DYMBURT. >> GOOD MORNING TO YOU. I’M RHIANNON ALLY. WE BEGIN WITH AN EXPLOSIVE DAY IN DONALD TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL. A DEFENSE WITNESS IS RETURNING TO THE STAND TODAY AFTER THE JUDGE THREATENED TO STRIKE HIS TESTIMONY. >> THE CHAOS UNFOLDED ONCE MICHAEL COHEN LEFT THE STAND, FOLLOWING AN ADMISSION THAT HE STOLE MONEY FROM TRUMP’S COMPANY. HERE’S ABC’S LIONEL MOISE. >> AFTER PROSECUTORS RESTED THEIR CASE IN DONALD TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL, SOME TENSE MOMENTS IN THE COURTROOM BETWEEN THE JUDGE AND A SURPRISE WITNESS CALLED TO THE STAND BY TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM. ROBERT COSTELLO IS A LAWYER WHO ADVISED TRUMP FIXER MICHAEL COHEN AFTER HIS HOTEL ROOM AND OFFICE WERE RAIDED BY THE FBI IN 2018. IN COURT, TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM GOT COHEN TO ADMIT UNDER OATH THAT HE STOLE $30,000 FROM THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, FOCUSED ON DESTROYING HIS CREDIBILITY AS A WITNESS. BUT WHEN ROBERT COSTELLO TOOK THE STAND, THINGS GOT HEATED. COSTELLO SAID HE TOLD COHEN ALL HIS PROBLEMS WOULD GO AWAY IF HE JUST TOLD THE FEDS THE TRUTH ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND THE DEAL WITH STORMY DANIELS. BUT HE SAID COHEN INSISTED TRUMP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THOSE PAYMENTS, THAT HE DID THIS ON HIS OWN, SAYING, I SWEAR TO GOD, BOB, I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING ON DONALD TRUMP. PROSECUTORS OBJECTED SEVERAL TIMES, AND WHEN JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN UPHELD THOSE OBJECTIONS, COSTELLO COULD BE HEARD FROM THE WITNESS STAND SAYING GEEZ AND MUMBLING RIDICULOUS UNDER HIS BREATH. THE JUDGE FURIOUS, ULTIMATELY CLEARING THE JURY TO ADDRESS COSTELLO DIRECTLY. IF YOU DON’T LIKE MY RULING, YOU DON’T GIVE ME SIDE EYE AND YOU DON’T ROLL YOUR EYES, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? COSTELLO GLARED AT HIM. ARE YOU STARING ME DOWN? THE JUDGE ASKED THE JUDGE, THEN, CLEARING THE ENTIRE COURTROOM. COSTELLO ULTIMATELY RESUMED TESTIMONY, BUT SOME LEGAL EXPERTS SAY HIS OUTBURST COULD WORK AGAINST THE DEFENSE TEAM. DON’T MAKE YOURSELF A SIDESHOW TO WHAT COULD BE A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE THAT WOULD THAT MICHAEL COHEN LIED. >> AND YOU CAN’T BELIEVE MICHAEL COHEN. AND IT’S THE GOAL AND OBJECT OF THAT CRIMINAL DEFENSE TEAM TO TAKE THIS AWAY FROM FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS AND MAKE IT A CASE ABOUT THE EXTORTER, STORMY DANIELS AND THE LIAR, CONNIVING AGENDA DRIVEN MICHAEL COHEN. COSTELLO COULD HAVE GIVEN A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT HE LOST THAT OPPORTUNITY TO A LARGE EXTENT BEFORE ADJOURNING . >> TRUMP’S LAWYERS TRIED TO GET THE CASE DISMISSED. HOPEFULLY, THE MOTION TO DISMISS THIS TRIAL WILL GO THROUGH BECAUSE THIS TRIAL IS A DISASTER FOR OUR COUNTRY. BUT THE TRIAL IS FAR FROM OVER, WITH THE DEFENSE TEAM EXPECTED TO REST ITS CASE TODAY AHEAD OF THE HOLIDAY, THE JURY WILL BE EXCUSED UNTIL AFTER MEMORIAL DAY, WITH JURY INSTRUCTIONS AND CLOSING ARGUMENTS AND DELIBERATIONS NEXT WEEK. THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS NOT EXPECTED TO TAKE THE STAND. TRUMP’S LEGAL ISSUES HAVE BEEN A MAJOR COST AS HE PREPARES TO TAKE ON JOE BIDEN IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, DISCLOSURE REPORTS SHOW TRUMP’S SAVE AMERICA SUPER PAC SPENT $3.3 MILLION IN LEGAL BILLS LAST MONTH, ALSO SHOWING MORE THAN A MILLION IN LEGAL FEES, WHICH HAVE YET TO BE PAID TO VARIOUS LAW FIRMS. RHIANNON ANDREW. >> LIONEL. THANK YOU. TRUMP IS FACING BACKLASH OVER SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WITH WORDING ASSOCIATED WITH GERMANY. A VIDEO THAT APPEARS TO SUGGEST THERE WILL BE A, QUOTE, UNIFIED REICH IF HE WINS THE ELECTION. THE PHRASE POPS UP AS PART OF HYPOTHETICAL NEWS HEADLINES. THE BIDEN CAMP RESPONDED TO THE POST, SAYING TRUMP IS TELLING AMERICA EXACTLY WHAT HE WILL DO IF HE REGAINS POWER. A TRUMP CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL SAID THIS WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN VIDEO. IT WAS CREATED BY A RANDOM ACCOUNT ONLINE AND REPOSTED BY A STAFFER WHO CLEARLY DID NOT SEE THE WORD. >> IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER DECLARED FIVE DAYS OF PUBLIC MOURNING AFTER THE HELICOPTER CRASH THAT KILLED THE COUNTRY’S PRESIDENT AND TOP DIPLOMAT. ABC’S EM NGUYEN HAS REACTION FROM THE U.S. AND TEHRAN. GOOD MORNING. >> I’M RHIANNON. GOOD MORNING. IRAN WILL HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICES TODAY FOR PRESIDENT RAISI AS NEW VIDEO SURFACES OF THE CRASH SITE . CROWDS GATHERED IN IRAN OVERNIGHT TO MOURN THE LOSS OF PRESIDENT EBRAHIM RAISI, WHO WAS KILLED IN A HELICOPTER CRASH ON THE NORTHERN IRANIAN MOUNTAINSIDE, NEW VIDEO SHOWS. THE MOMENT SEARCH TEAMS REACHED THE WRECKAGE AFTER MORE THAN A DOZEN HOURS OF SEARCHING THROUGH HEAVY FOG IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF THE CRASH. CONSPIRACY THEORIES OF FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT ARE CROPPING UP ONLINE, BUT U.S. DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN, MAKING IT CLEAR THE U.S. HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CRASH. >> THE UNITED STATES HAD NO PART TO PLAY IN IN THAT CRASH. AND SO AND THAT’S THAT’S A FACT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. >> THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT EVEN REQUESTED HELP FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IN FINDING THE HELICOPTER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST FOR WHAT OFFICIALS CALLED LOGISTICAL REASONS. THE LOSS OF IRAN’S PRESIDENT, COMING AT A TIME OF HEIGHTENED TENSION, CONSIDERED IRAN’S SECOND MOST POWERFUL PERSON BEHIND AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMENEI, RAISI WAS CONSIDERED A TOP CONTENDER TO ONE DAY REPLACE THE 85 YEAR OLD SUPREME LEADER IN 2022. RAISI WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRUTAL CRACKDOWN ON PROTESTERS IN IRAN AND OVERSAW THE MASSIVE MISSILE AND DRONE ATTACK ON ISRAEL LAST MONTH. WE HAVE BEEN QUITE CLEAR THAT EBRAHIM RAISI WAS A BRUTAL PARTICIPANT IN THE REPRESSION OF THE IRANIAN PEOPLE FOR NEARLY FOUR DECADES, HE WAS INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS HORRIFIC HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. >> THAT SAID, WE REGRET ANY LOSS OF LIFE. >> CROWDS NOW GATHERING IN IRAN AS THE NATION MOURNS THE LOSS OF PRESIDENT EBRAHIM RAISI, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS IN THE HELICOPTER CRASH. BUT SOME IN IRAN, ALONG WITH THOSE IN EXILE IN BERLIN AND LONDON CELEBRATING THE LOSS OF A MAN THEY CONSIDERED A TYRANT. IRANIAN AUTHORITIES HAVE NOW AGREED TO HOLD THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ON JUNE 28TH. RHIANNON. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT . >> PRESIDENT BIDEN IS JOINING ISRAEL IN SLAMMING THE CHIEF PROSECUTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. THE PROSECUTOR IS SEEKING ARREST WARRANTS FOR ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, ALONG WITH THREE HAMAS LEADERS, OVER THEIR ACTIONS TAKEN DURING THE WAR. HE SAID ISRAEL IS USING STARVATION OF PALESTINIANS AS A METHOD OF WARFARE AND COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT AGAINST CIVILIANS. >> UNFORTUNATELY, THESE CRIMES CONTINUE TO THIS DAY. ISRAEL, LIKE ALL STATES, HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITS POPULATION. THOSE RIGHTS, HOWEVER, DO NOT ABSOLVE ISRAEL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO COMPLY WITH INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW. >> THE ICC HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER ISRAEL, AND MR. KHAN’S ACTIONS WILL NOT STOP US FROM WAGING OUR JUST WAR AGAINST HAMAS. >> A THREE JUDGE PANEL WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO ISSUE THE ARREST WARRANTS, WHICH COULD MAKE IT HARD FOR NETANYAHU TO TRAVEL ABROAD. >> NOW TO TURKS AND CAICOS, WHERE TYLER WENRICK COULD LEARN HIS FATE. TODAY, HE IS ONE OF SEVERAL AMERICANS CHARGED WITH CARRYING AMMUNITION INTO THE TROPICAL NATION. U.S. LAWMAKERS ARE NOW PLEADING FOR LENIENCY. THIS MORNING, ONE OF THE AMERICANS FACING PRISON TIME IN TURKS AND CAICOS OVER AMMUNITION IN THEIR LUGGAGE IS SPEAKING OUT AHEAD OF HIS PLEA HEARING LATER TODAY. I HAVE A LOT OF FEAR AND ANXIETY. >> YOU KNOW THE BEST OUTCOME TO THIS IS THAT THE JUDGE WILL FIND LENIENCY AND COMPASSION IN THE SITUATION AND STEER AWAY FROM THAT 12 YEAR SENTENCE AND BE ABLE TO GIVE A SENTENCE THAT IS LESS THAN THAT IN A FINE. >> HOPEFULLY TYLER WENRICK IS ONE OF FIVE AMERICANS RECENTLY CHARGED WITH CARRYING SMALL AMOUNTS OF AMMUNITION INTO THE TROPICAL NATION. WENRICK WAS FOUND WITH JUST TWO ROUNDS. HE SAID HE MISTAKENLY LEFT IN HIS BACKPACK AFTER A TRIP TO A GUN RANGE. YESTERDAY, A BIPARTISAN DELEGATION OF U.S. LAWMAKERS TRAVELED TO TURKS AND CAICOS TO ASK FOR LENIENCY. SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN, WHO WAS PART OF THE DELEGATION, SAYING, I LEFT THESE MEETINGS OPTIMISTIC THAT WE CAN GET THIS RESOLVED AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH MY COLLEAGUES IN CONGRESS AND TCI OFFICIALS TO BRING THESE AMERICAN CITIZENS HOME. JUST LAST WEEK, A GRANDMOTHER FROM FLORIDA WAS ARRESTED AT THE AIRPORT AFTER TWO BULLETS WERE FOUND IN HER LUGGAGE. >> I WAS AFRAID I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I COULDN’T BELIEVE THEY WAS IN THERE. >> THREE OTHER MEN ARE ALSO WAITING FOR THE COURTS TO DECIDE THEIR FATE. ONE COULD RECEIVE HIS SENTENCE AS SOON AS FRIDAY. THE TURKS AND CAICOS PASSED STRICT GUN LAWS TWO YEARS AGO AFTER A RISE IN VIOLENCE AND GUN TRAFFICKING. THE NEW LAWS MEAN THE AMERICANS FACE A MINIMUM SENTENCE OF 12 YEARS PLUS A FINE. BUT THE COURT CAN MAKE EXCEPTIONS. THE STATE DEPARTMENT HAS WARNED ANY AMERICANS WHO ARE TRAVELING TO TURKS AND CAICOS TO CAREFULLY CHECK THEIR LUGGAGE. WE WILL HEAR MORE FROM TYLER WENRICK COMING UP ON GMA. >> TIME LAPSE VIDEO SHOWS THE CARGO SHIP DOLLY BEING MOVED INTO THE PORT OF BALTIMORE.

WE’LL HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE PRIME MINISTER THIS MORNING. >> THE SEVERE WEATHER, THE HEARTLAND, STRONG TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE TODAY. WHAT’S NEXT FOR ALREADY HARD HIT REGION? >> WE BEGIN WITH THE BREAKING NEWS. ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND SEVERAL INJURED AFTER SEVERE TURBULENCE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. THE AIRLINE SAYS THE PLANE FROM LONDON WAS CARRYING 229 PASSENGERS AND CREW WHEN IT WAS DIVERTED. BANGKOK FOR BANGKOK, RATHER, FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING. TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ JOINS US FROM MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL AIRPORT WITH MORE. >> HEY THERE. WE’VE OFTEN TALKED ABOUT HERE THE DANGERS OF AIR AND NOW WE’VE SEEN THIS TERRIBLE INCIDENT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE’VE BEEN AFRAID OF. TAKE A LOOK AT THE FLIGHT PATH RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THIS WAS A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT FROM LONDON TO SINGAPORE. AND WE’RE TOLD THAT JUST ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE LANDING RIGHT OVER THE ANDAMAN SEA, THE BOEING 777 HIT SEVERE TURBULENCE, AGAIN, KILLING AT LEAST PERSON, INJURING MANY OTHERS. THERE WERE 221 PASSENGERS ON BOARD, 18 CREW MEMBERS. SINGAPORE AIRLINES SAYING IN A STATEMENT IT OFFERS ITS DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF THE DECEASED. OUR PRIORITY IS TO PROVIDE ALL POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE TO ALL PASSENGERS AND CREW ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN THAILAND TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY ASSISTANCE. NOW, IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WE STILL DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHY THIS HAPPENED. BUT REMEMBER THAT EVEN IF YOU’RE ON A FLIGHT, AND ESPECIALLY THIS WEEK WITH HOLIDAY TRAVEL, MILLIONS ARE GOING TO BE FLYING. IT MAY BE CLEAR WEATHER TURBULENCE CAN STILL HAPPEN. SO KEEP THAT SEATBELT ON, EVEN IF YOU THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A SMOOTH RIDE, DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT. >> GOOD ADVICE. TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ, THANK YOU. >> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM IS EXPECTED TO REST ITS CASE TODAY. THIS FINAL STRETCH OF HIS HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. ROBERT CASTELLO, A LAWYER CLOSE TO RUDY GIULIANI, WHO ONCE ADVISED TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER MICHAEL COHEN, WILL RETURN TO STAND AFTER A DRAMATIC DAY OF TESTIMONY YESTERDAY. THE JUDGE AT ONE POINT WAS SO ANGRY HE CLEARED OUT THE COURTROOM. ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY HAS THE LATEST. >> IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE MUTTERING THAT CAUSED JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN TO LOSE PATIENCE WITH DEFENSE WITNESS ROBERT COSTELLO, A LAWYER CLOSE TO TRUMP ALLY RUDY GIULIANI, WHO ONCE ADVISED TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER MICHAEL COHEN, AT TRIAL AFTER THE JUDGE SUSTAINED A PROSECUTOR’S REPEATED OBJECTIONS. COSTELLO COULD BE HEARD SAYING GEEZ AND LOUDLY EXHALING AN AGGRAVATED JUDGE EXCUSED THE JURY, THEN TOLD COSTELLO IF DON’T LIKE MY RULING, YOU DON’T SAY, GEEZ, OKAY, YOU DON’T GIVE ME SIDE AND YOU DON’T ROLL YOUR EYES. COSTELLO GLARED AT HIM AND MERCHAN BECAME IRATE. >> ARE YOU STARING ME DOWN RIGHT NOW? CLEAR THE COURTROOM. >> THE JUDGE HAS ORDERED SPECTATORS EJECTED. THE JUDGE TOLD COSTELLO, I’M PUTTING YOU ON NOTICE THAT YOUR CONDUCT IS CONTEMPTUOUS. IF YOU TRY TO STARE ME DOWN ONE MORE TIME, I WILL REMOVE YOU FROM THE STAND. THE DEFENSE CALLED COSTELLO TO TALK ABOUT MEETING COHEN AFTER THE FBI RAIDED COHEN’S HOME AND OFFICE IN 2018. COSTELLO TESTIFIED HE ADVISED COHEN TO COOPERATE, BUT COHEN TOLD HIM, I SWEAR TO GOD, BOB, I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING ON DONALD TRUMP. AND COSTELLO SAID COHEN TOLD HIM NUMEROUS TIMES THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE HUSH PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS. >> COHEN WAS THE LAST WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION. HE TESTIFIED HE HAD MORE THAN 20 CONVERSATIONS IN TOW, EITHER IN PERSON OR BY PHONE WITH TRUMP IN OCTOBER 16 ABOUT THE PAYMENT TO DANIELS. THE DEFENSE CAST COHEN AS AN UNRELIABLE LIAR AND THIEF. GETTING COHEN TO ADMIT TO THE JURY HE POCKETED $30,000 MEANT FOR A TECHNOLOGY COMPANY THAT HAD DONE WORK FOR TRUMP. SO HE STOLE FROM THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, RIGHT DEFENSE ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE ASKED. YES, SIR. COHEN RESPONDED. HE FOUGHT OFF, THOUGH, A DIFFERENT ATTACK ON HIS CREDIBILITY WHEN THE DEFENSE SUGGESTED COHEN PROFITED FROM HIS TESTIMONY. IF PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CONVICTED ,THAT WOULD BENEFIT YOU PERSONALLY, FINANCIALLY, RIGHT? BLANCH ASKED. NO, SIR. COHEN IT’S BETTER IF HE IS NOT FOR ME BECAUSE IT GIVES ME MORE TO TALK ABOUT IN THE FUTURE. AND I AND THE DEFENSE ARGUED THAT THE CASE SHOULD BE DISMISSED BEFORE EVEN GETS TO THE JURY. TELLING THE JUDGE THE PROSECUTORS FAILED, TO PROVE ANY CRIMINAL INTENT. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE RULING FROM THE JUDGE. THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO REST TODAY, LIKELY WITH NO TESTIMONY TRUMP HIMSELF AND THEN CLOSING ARGUMENTS, THE JURY INSTRUCTIONS AND DELIBERATIONS ALL HAPPEN NEXT WEEK. >> DIANE. >> SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. AND ABC’S LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR CON NOWADAY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON COURSE I WANT JUST GET YOUR REACTION TO THAT SCENE WITH ROBERT COSTELLO ESSENTIALLY MAKING THE JUDGE SO MAD HE CLEARED THE COURTROOM. I THOUGHT THAT WAS SHOCKING. AND YOU KNOW IN A LOT OF WAYS IT’S FROM THE TRUMP TEAM’S PERSPECTIVE, QUITE UNFORTUNATE IT BECAUSE I THINK FROM THEIR VIEW, THEY HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD EVIDENCE THEY WERE GOING TO PRESENT, WHICH WAS. COSTELLO AS ERIN SAID, TESTIFIED ABOUT CONVERSATIONS HE HAD WITH MICHAEL COHEN ABOUT WHETHER TRUMP KNEW ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT AND BECAUSE OF THE WAY COSTELLO ACTED DEMEANOR ON THE STAND, IT REALLY PROBABLY HURT IN SOME WAYS, IT DIMINISHED THE QUALITY OF HIS TESTIMONY, AT LEAST BEFORE THE EYES OF THE JURY. >> AND NOW HOW CRITICAL IS HIS TESTIMONY THAT COHEN’S TOLD HIM HE HAD NOTHING ON. TRUMP AND THAT TRUMP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS I THINK FOR THE DEFENSE, IT WAS VERY CRITICAL WAS THEIR I THINK WHAT THEY VIEW IT AS THEIR, YOU KNOW, THE ACE UP SLEEVE BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS EVERYTHING MICHAEL COHEN HAS BEEN SAYING. >> SO IT WAS SOMETHING THEY CAN POINT TO AND I’M TODD BLANCHE IS GOING TO POINT TO IN HIS CLOSING ARGUMENTS NEXT WEEK OF HOW WELL, LISTEN, YOU CAN’T BELIEVE MICHAEL COHEN. YOU HEARD FROM COSTELLO. >> HE SAID MICHAEL COHEN TOLD HIM THE EXACT OPPOSITE. ALL RIGHT. COME NOW A DAY. THANK YOU. AND WE WILL BE COVERING CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL ALL DAY LONG. WE’LL BRING YOU THE LATEST RIGHT HERE ON, ABC NEWS LIVE. >> AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS UNDER FIRE AFTER POSTING A VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT USED LANGUAGE FROM NAZI GERMANY. IT’S THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF POSTS AND STATEMENTS HIS OPPONENTS SAY ARE ANTI-SEMITIC AND AUTHORITARIAN. RACHEL SCOTT THAT STORY. >> FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SPARKING BACKLASH AFTER A VIDEO POSTED TO HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT SEEMINGLY SUGGESTS WILL BE A UNIFIED IF HE WINS THE 2024 ELECTION. >> DONALD TRUMP WINS. WHAT’S NEXT FOR AMERICA? >> THOSE WORDS ARE LARGELY ASSOCIATED WITH GERMANY AND ADOLF HITLER’S THIRD, ANOTHER NAME FOR HIS REGIME. >> THE 32ND VIDEO FEATURES HYPOTHETICAL NEWSPAPER ARTICLES . TRUMP CELEBRATING A VICTORY IN NOVEMBER. THAT PHRASE APPEARING THREE TIMES, INCLUDING UNDER THE HEADLINE WHAT’S NEXT FOR AMERICA? IT INCLUDES REFERENCES TO WORLD WAR ONE, CITING GERMAN INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH AND PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. ANOTHER HEADLINE SUGGESTING TRUMP WOULD REJECT GLOBALISTS, A PHRASE OFTEN USED BY THE FAR RIGHT AS ANTI-SEMITIC SLUR. IN A STATEMENT, TRUMP CAMPAIGN’S PRESS SAYS THIS WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN VIDEO. IT WAS CREATED BY A RANDOM ACCOUNT ONLINE AND REPOSTED BY A STAFFER WHO CLEARLY DID NOT THE WORD. >> WHILE THE PRESIDENT WAS IN COURT. BUT THE CAMPAIGN HAS NOT DELETED THE POST, AND IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME TRUMP HAS USED LANGUAGE SIMILAR TO WHAT ADOLF HITLER ONCE WROTE. JUST MONTHS AGO, HE DECLARED IMMIGRANTS, ARE POISONING THE BLOOD OF AMERICA. >> THEY’RE POISONING THE BLOOD OF OUR COUNTRY. >> THAT’S WHAT THEY’VE DONE. THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN ISSUING A STATEMENT SAYING DONALD TRUMP IS NOT PLAYING GAMES. HE’S TELLING AMERICA EXACTLY WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO IF HE REGAINS POWER. RULE OUT THE DICTATOR OVER A UNIFIED. >> THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN CALLING. THIS A PATTERN, DIANE, NOTING THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAD DINNER WITH A WHITE SUPREMACIST YEARS AGO AND THAT HE ONCE SAID THAT THERE WERE VERY FINE PEOPLE ON BOTH AFTER THE CHARLOTTESVILLE WHITE SUPREMACIST RALLY. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEY DID NOT IMMEDIATELY DELETE VIDEO. >> DIANE. ALL RIGHT, RACHEL SCOTT, THANK YOU. PRESIDENT BIDEN IS REJECTING ALLEGATIONS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AS A PROSECUTOR SEEKS ARREST WARRANTS FOR THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER AND OTHER TOP OFFICIALS FOR WAR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. BIDEN IS CALLING THE PROSECUTOR’S REQUEST OUTRAGEOUS, SAYING THE WAR IN GAZA IS NOT. PROSECUTOR FOR THE ICC SAY THEY ARE ALSO SEEKING ARREST WARRANTS FOR THE TOP HAMAS LEADERS. CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE HAS THE LATEST. >> PRESIDENT RALLYING TO ISRAEL’S DEFENSE IN BLUNT TERMS. >> WHAT’S HAPPENING IS NOT. WE REJECT THAT. NOW WE STAND WITH ISRAEL AND THE THREATS AGAINST ITS SECURITY. >> BIDEN OUTRAGED, ANNOUNCING THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AS ITS PROSECUTOR SEEKS A GLOBAL ARREST WARRANT FOR BOTH ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, AND HAMAS LEADER YASSIN MOI FOR WAR CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. >> ONE OF THESE WARRANTS MAY IMPLY THERE’S NO EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. >> THE COURT’S TOP PROSECUTOR, KARIM KHAN, ACCUSING NETANYAHU, AND HIS DEFENSE MINISTER, YOAV GALLANT, OF DELIBERATELY STARVING PALESTINIANS BY CHOKING OFF AID AND DELIBERATELY TARGETING CIVILIANS IN CONFLICT. THE HAMAS RUN HEALTH MINISTRY SAYING OVER 35,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED. >> UNFORTUNATELY, CRIMES CONTINUE TO THIS DAY. ISRAEL, LIKE ALL STATES, HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITS POPULATION. THOSE RIGHTS, HOWEVER, DO NOT ABSOLVE ISRAEL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO COMPLY WITH INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW. >> THE ICC, WHICH INVESTIGATES AND TRIES INDIVIDUALS ACCUSED OF THE GRAVEST CRIMES, ALSO CHARGING THREE SENIOR LEADERS OF HAMAS FOR THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK THAT KILLED ROUGHLY 1200 PEOPLE AND LAUNCHED THE WAR, ACCUSING THEM OF MURDER, TORTURE, AND HOSTAGE TAKING. NETANYAHU CALLING THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM ABSURD. WHAT TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE? >> WHAT A DISGRACE. AND BLASTING THE COMPARISON IN TO HAMAS. >> THE ICC HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER ISRAEL, AND MR. KHAN’S ACTIONS WILL NOT STOP US FROM WAGING OUR JUST WAR AGAINST, HAMAS. >> NOW, THREE JUDGES WILL DECIDE IN THE COMING WEEKS WHETHER OR NOT TO ISSUE THESE ARREST WARRANTS. AND IF THEY DO WELL, NETANYAHU COULD THEN FACE ARREST IN ANY OF THE NATIONS THAT ARE PARTY TO THE COURT. >> AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE U.S., BUT DOES INCLUDE MOST OF EUROPE. >> ALL RIGHT, CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE, THANK YOU. AND EARLIER ON "GMA", ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU RESPONDED TO THE ICC REQUEST FOR A WAR CRIMES ARREST WARRANT, CALLING IT ABSURD. HERE’S WHAT HE TOLD OUR GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS THIS MORNING. >> YOU’VE BEEN ACCUSED OF USING STARVATION AS A WEAPON OF WAR. NOW, YOU’VE CALLED THAT DECISION BY THE PROSECUTORS, OUTRAGEOUS. THE PROSECUTOR RESPONDED TO THAT YESTERDAY. >> I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. ISRAEL HAS EVERY RIGHT NOT TO GIVE SUCCOR TO HAMAS. THAT IS NOT CONTESTED. ISRAEL HAS EVERY RIGHT AND INDEED DID AN OBLIGATION TO GET HOSTAGES BACK. BUT YOU MUST DO SO BY COMPLYING WITH THE LAW. THE FACT THAT HAMAS FIGHTERS NEED WATER DOESN’T JUSTIFY DENYING WATER FROM ALL THE CIVILIAN POPULATION OF GAZA. >> RESPONSE? >> WELL, I THINK THIS IS ABSURD. THIS IS BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS. YOU SAID THAT WE DENY WATER AND IS MAKING A TOTALLY FALSE ACCUSATION HERE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. WE ARE SUPPLYING NOW NEARLY HALF OF THE WATER OF GAZA. WE SUPPLIED ONLY 7% BEFORE THE WAR. >> SO THIS IS COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE’S SAYING. HE’S SAYING THAT WE’RE STARVING PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SUPPLIED HALF A MILLION TONS OF FOOD AND MEDICINE WITH 20,000 TRUCKS. THIS GUY IS OUT TO DEMONIZE ISRAEL. HE’S DOING A GOOD JOB. HE’S CREATING A FALSE SYMMETRY BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND THE TERRORISTS CHIEFTAINS. THAT’S LIKE SAYING AFTER 911, WELL, I’M ISSUING WARRANTS FOR FOR GEORGE BUSH, BUT ALSO FOR BIN LADEN OR AFTER WORLD WAR II. WELL, I’M ISSUING THE ARREST WARRANTS FOR FDR, BUT ALSO FOR HITLER. IT’S A HIT JOB. IT’S NOT SERIOUS. HE’S OUT TO DEFAME ISRAEL AND HE’S ALSO POURING GASOLINE ON THE FIRES OF ANTI-SEMITISM THAT ARE SPREADING AROUND THE WORLD BECAUSE HE IS ATTACKING ONE AND ONLY JEWISH STATE AND TRYING TO HANDCUFF US, PREVENTING US FROM EXERCISING RESPONSIBLY THROUGH THE LAWS OF WAR AS WE OBEY AND WE ARE SUBORDINATE TO THEM. HE’S SAYING WE’RE NOT. HE’S CREATING FALSE SYMMETRY, FALSE FACTS, AND HE IS DOING A GRAVE INJUSTICE TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT. >> AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS A SERIOUS FOOD CRISIS IN, GAZA RIGHT NOW. CINDY MCCAIN, HEAD OF THE U.N. WORLD FOOD PROGRAM, SAID PARTS OF ARE UNDERGOING FULL BLOWN FAMINE. DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INTERNATIONAL LAW, ISRAEL HAS A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PREVENT PEOPLE IN GAZA FROM STARVING? >> WELL, WE CERTAINLY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ENABLE TRUCKS TO GO IN. AND AS I SAID WE’VE ENABLED 20,000 TRUCKS TO GO IN. WE JUST FIX THE ROAD BURNS TO ENABLE THOSE TRUCKS TO GO IN. AND HALF A MILLION TONS OF OF FOOD AND DRUGS. SO WHO’S STOPPING US? IN FACT, HAMAS IS THE ONE THAT IS LOOTING THESE THESE TRUCKS WHILE WE’RE ENABLING THEM TO GO IN. WE DON’T HAVE A DELIBERATE STARVATION DIET. WE DON’T HAVE A POLICY. IN FACT WE HAVE THE OPPOSITE POLICY TO ALLOW MAXIMUM HUMANITARIAN AID TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF HARM’S WAY WHILE HAMAS IS DOING EVERYTHING TO KEEP THEM IN HARM’S WAY AT GUNPOINT. AND IN FACT, WE’VE SENT BILLIONS OF TEXT MESSAGES, OF PHONE CALLS AND LEAFLETS TO PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING THAT NO ARMY AND NO GOVERNMENT HAS DONE IN MODERN URBAN WARFARE, GIVING UP THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE, TELLING PEOPLE, GET OUT OF HARM’S WAY AND LET US FINISH THE WAR AGAINST THE TERRORISTS. WE’RE NOT TARGETING THE POPULATION. WE’RE TARGETING THE TERRORISTS. THESE ARE FALLACIOUS. I THINK THAT THEY CAST A TERRIBLE A TERRIBLE STAIN ON THE ICC, BUT I THINK SERIOUS COUNTRIES ARE NOT TAKING THEM SERIOUSLY. AND I WAS VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLED THEM OUTRAGEOUS. AS IN MANY LEADERS, BIPARTISAN SUPPORT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. AND PEOPLE ARE NOW PUTTING BILL IN CONGRESS A BIPARTISAN BILL TO PUT SANCTIONS ON THE ICC PROSECUTOR FOR DOING SUCH A TERRIBLE SINGLING OUT OF ISRAEL. REALLY, REALLY A DISTORTION, A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE. >> ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT TRAVELING IN THE WAKE OF THIS ARREST WARRANT? >> NO, I’M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT TRAVELING. I THINK I’M NOT CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT OUR STATUS. I THINK THAT THE PROSECUTOR SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS STATUS BECAUSE HE’S REALLY TURNING THE INTO A PARIAH INSTITUTION. PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. THEY SEE IT AS A POLITICIZED THING. I HOPE THAT THE JUDGES DON’T TURN DON’T CONFIRM WHAT HE SAYS, BECAUSE THAT WILL MAKE THEM INTO A KANGAROO COURT. ISRAEL IS FIGHTING A JUST WAR, NOT OURS. >> NOT ONLY OUR WAR. WE’RE FIGHTING THE WAR OF ALL DEMOCRACIES, BECAUSE IF DEMOCRACIES ARE NOW FACED WITH A SITUATION THAT AFTER TAKING EFFORTS TO GET PEOPLES OUT OF HARM’S WAY TO SUPPLY HUMANITARIAN AID ON A VAST SCALE, IF THEY’RE TOLD THEY’RE HAULED INTO THE DOCK BECAUSE THE TERRORISTS WERE FIGHTING THEM AND USING CIVILIANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS, THEN OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO EVERY DEMOCRACY WILL BE PULLED INTO THE DOCK. WE’RE FIRST. YOU’RE NEXT. THE BIG QUESTION, PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT. SO THAT HAS TO BE STOPPED AND THAT HAS TO BE RESISTED. AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THE VAST OF ISRAELIS AND ALL RESPONSIBLE LEADERS IN THE WORLD UNDERSTAND THAT THIS SHOULD BE RESISTED. >> THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS THE DAY AFTER THE FIGHTING STOPS? DO YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR THE DAY AFTER THE WAR? ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THE DAY AFTER THE WAR, IT’S FIRST OF ALL, THE DAY AFTER HAMAS. YOU HAVE TO DESTROY HAMAS. OTHERWISE, GAZANS DON’T HAVE A FUTURE. PEACE. HAVE A FUTURE. THE EXPANSION OF PEACE DOESN’T HAVE A FUTURE. SO GET RID OF HAMAS. THAT’S OUR GOAL, NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO, DEMILITARIZE GAZA. AND THE ONE SUSTAINED DEMILITARIZATION, I THINK REQUIRES THAT ISRAEL HAVE THE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIGHT RESURGENT TERRORISTS. THREE ENSURE THAT GAZA WILL SEEK A CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATION BY GAZANS WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED HAMAS, AND ALSO DON’T SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL. AND THE LAST THING IS REBUILD GAZA IN A PEACEFUL WAY, USING THE SUPPORT OF MODERATE ARAB STATES AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THAT’S A REALISTIC PLAN. THAT’S THE ONE I HAVE. BUT GOES TO VICTORY. THERE IS PEACE AND STABILITY AND PROSPERITY ONLY THROUGH VICTORY, THE ROAD TO PEACE GOES THROUGH VICTORY OVER HAMAS. >> MR. PRIME MINISTER, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. >> OUR THANKS TO GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS AND PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU FOR THAT INTERVIEW. COMING UP, THE SEVERE WEATHER SLAMMING THE HEARTLAND.

I’M DEVASTATED. WE WANT TO GET STRAIGHT TO BREAKING NEWS. ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND SEVERAL INJURED AFTER SEVERE TURBULENCE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. THE AIRLINE SAYS THE PLANE FROM LONDON WAS CARRYING 229 PASSENGERS AND CREW WHEN IT WAS DIVERTED TO BANGKOK FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. >> MAGGIE, WHAT’S THE LATEST? HEY, DIANE. WELL, WE NOW KNOW THAT IN ADDITION TO THAT ONE FATALITY, 18 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED ANOTHER 12 ARE BEING TREATED FOR THEIR INJURIES. NOW, THIS FLIGHT OFF FROM HERE IN THE U.K. LAST NIGHT, MONDAY NIGHT. THEN UNDERSTAND, AROUND 4 P.M. LOCAL TIME IN THAILAND IS WHEN THEY HIT THIS PATCH OF TURBULENCE. AND WE’VE BEEN SEEING IMAGES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA SHOWING THE CABIN OF THE AIRLINE JUST SCATTERED WITH DEBRIS. PASSENGERS SAYING ANYONE WHO WASN’T SEAT BELTED IN WENT HIT THE CEILING. ONE PASSENGER EVEN TOLD REUTERS HE DESCRIBED THE SCENE SAYING SUDDENLY THE AIRCRAFT STARTS TILTING UP AND THERE WAS SHAKING. SO I STARTED BRACING FOR WHAT WAS HAPPENING. VERY SUDDENLY. THERE WAS A DRAMATIC DROP. SO EVERYONE SEATED AND NOT WEARING A SEATBELT WAS LAUNCHED IMMEDIATELY INTO THE CEILING. THERE HE THEN PROVIDES EVEN MORE DETAIL, SOME OF IT SOUNDING HORRIFIC. HE SAYS SOME PEOPLE HIT THEIR HEADS ON THE BAGGAGE CABIN’S OVERHEAD, DENTING IT, AND THEY HIT THE PLACES WHERE THE LIGHTS MASK ARE AND BROKE STRAIGHT THROUGH. AND THERE WERE STILL SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS FLIGHT. BUT AS WE START TO GET SOME OF THESE FIRSTHAND ACCOUNTS, IT TRULY SOUNDS TERRIFYING. >> AND HOW IS SINGAPORE AIRLINES RESPONDING, MAGGIE? >> WELL, THEY’VE BEEN PROVIDING UPDATES ON SOCIAL MEDIA QUITE FREQUENTLY NOT THAT LONG AGO. WE JUST GOT THE LATEST UPDATE ON FACEBOOK CONFIRMING THOSE OF HOSPITALIZED AND INJURIES. THEY RELEASED THIS. THEY SAID SINGAPORE AIRLINES OFFERS ITS DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ,THE FAMILY OF THE DECEASED. WE DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR THE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE OUR PASSENGERS AND CREW MEMBERS SUFFERED ON THIS FLIGHT. THEY SAY THEY’RE PROVIDING NECESSARY ASSISTANCE DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME WORKING WITH. OUR COLLEAGUES AND THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN THAILAND TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY ASSISTANCE. GOING SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT A SINGAPORE AIRLINES TEAM IS ON THE WAY TO BANGKOK TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE AS NEEDED, AND THAT THEY’VE ALSO SET UP A HOTLINE FOR RELATIVES SEEKING INFORMATION. AND WHAT’S INTERESTING HERE IS THAT SINGAPORE AIRLINES OFTEN IS A TOP AIRLINE IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY. THEY’RE AN INDUSTRY THERE OFTEN WIN AWARDS. AND THE OTHER THING THAT WE SHOULD NOTE IS THAT WHILE SEVERE TURBULENCE IS QUITE RARE ON FLIGHTS, ACCORDING TO A STUDY BY THE US NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD, TURBULENCE RELATED INJURIES ARE THE MOST COMMON TYPE INJURIES ON AIRPLANES. NOW, FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE, REALLY SOMETIMES WE DISMISS IT AS NO BIG DEAL, BUT GOOD TO REMEMBER THAT IT CAN DANGEROUS. >> THANK YOU. >> FORMER PRESIDENT DEFENSE TEAM IS EXPECTED TO REST ITS CASE TODAY IN ITS FINAL STRETCH OF HIS HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. >> ROBERT COSTELLO, A LAWYER TO RUDY GIULIANI, WHO ONCE ADVISED TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER, MICHAEL COHEN, WILL RETURN TO THE STAND AFTER A DRAMATIC DAY OF TESTIMONY YESTERDAY. THE JUDGE AT ONE POINT WAS SO ANGRY HE CLEARED OUT THE COURTROOM. >> ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY JOINS ME NOW FROM THE COURTHOUSE, ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS AND ABC NEWS LIVE CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE. ERIN, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM COURT TODAY? >> ROBERT COSTELLO HAS PROBABLY 45 MINUTES OR SO LEFT OF OF CROSS-EXAMINATION BY ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY SUSAN HOPFINGER, WHO INDICATED TO THE JUDGE THAT NOT GOING TO TAKE VERY MUCH LONGER WITH COSTELLO AND THEN THE DEFENSE WILL GET A CHANCE TO TO ASK HIM MORE QUESTIONS IF IF IF DEFENSE ATTORNEY ABEL SO DESIRES. >> AND THAT SHOULD IT AFTER. COSTELLO WE DON’T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY OTHER DEFENSE WITNESSES. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS UNLIKELY TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND HIMSELF. THE JUDGE WILL LIKELY AFFIRM THAT DECISION IN OPEN COURT. ONCE THE DEFENSE RESTS, THE JURY GOING TO BE SENT HOME UNTIL AFTER MEMORIAL DAY WITH CLOSING ARGUMENTS, JURY INSTRUCTIONS AND DELIBERATIONS ALL TO HAPPEN NEXT WEEK. >> AND I WANT TO GO TO KATHERINE ON THAT QUESTION BECAUSE IT IS A BIG ONE. KATHERINE, OF WHETHER OR NOT TRUMP WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE THE STAND. HE’S GONE BACK AND FORTH LOT, SENDING KIND OF MIXED MESSAGES THROUGHOUT THIS CASE. WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT? HE’S GONE BACK AND FORTH PUBLICLY, ORIGINALLY SAYING THAT HE DID INTEND TO TESTIFY. HE’S WALKED THAT BACK A BIT, BUT HIS ALLIES ARE ALSO ON TV SAYING THAT HE SHOULD TESTIFY. LOOK AT POINT, WHAT WE’RE TOLD BY SOURCES IS THAT TRUMP WILL NOT TAKE THE STAND. HE WON’T TESTIFY AT TRIAL. I CAUTION SAYING AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, HE CAN MAKE A LAST MINUTE DECISION. SO WE LIKELY WILL HEAR THAT DECISION FROM DEFENSE COUNSEL THIS MORNING. THEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL TAKE THE STAND OR NOT. BUT AGAIN, AT THIS POINT, WE ARE HEARING FROM OUR SOURCES THAT HE WILL NOT TESTIFY AND WE EXPECT THE DEFENSE REST THEIR CASE AFTER COSTELLO IS OFF THE STAND. SO, ERIN, THAT MEANS COSTELLO COULD BE THEIR ONLY WITNESS. AND YESTERDAY HE WAS REALLY FOCUSED ON HOW HE SAYS MICHAEL COHEN TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD NOTHING ON TRUMP AND THAT TRUMP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PAYMENT TO STORMY. >> WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HIM TODAY? WELL, I THINK THE PROSECUTORS ARE GOING TO TRY AND THAT THAT MAYBE COSTELLO WAS A LITTLE MORE IN ON WHAT THEY’VE CALLED A PRESSURE CAMPAIGN AGAINST MICHAEL COHEN THAN THAN HE IS LET ON THE THE THE THE DEFENSE INSISTED THAT, YOU KNOW, COHEN WAS THE ONE REACHING OUT TO COSTELLO WAS THE ONE TRYING TO GET INFORMATION OUT OF HIM BECAUSE OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH RUDY GIULIANI. WHAT’S MY FATE, WHAT’S MY OFFRAMP, WHAT’S MY EXIT ROUTE? HOW AM I GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS? COSTELLO DESCRIBED COHEN AS MANIC AND SUICIDAL AFTER THE FEDS HAD RAIDED HIS HOME AND HIS OFFICE BACK IN 2018. AND COHEN DESCRIBED COSTELLO REALLY WANTING TO BRING HIM INTO THE FOLD BECAUSE OF HIS RELATIONSHIP, HE BELIEVED, WITH RUDY GIULIANI AND WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT. COSTELLO IS SAYING IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. SO I WOULD EXPECT PROSECUTORS TO TRY AND CLARIFY THAT BEFORE THEY LET THEY LET HIM GO OFF THE WITNESS STAND. >> AND BRIAN, THE HURDLE FOR THE PROSECUTION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, ONE BIG ONE AT LEAST, WAS GOING TO BE MICHAEL COHEN’S CREDIBILITY. THEY RESTED YESTERDAY AFTER TESTIMONY, DIDN’T CALL ANYONE AFTER HIM. DO YOU THINK THEY DID ENOUGH TO REHABILITATE HIS CREDIBILITY, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT YOU HAVE BOB COSTELLO THE STAND SAYING HE TOLD ME SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE’S SAYING, THE STAND? >> I THINK THAT QUESTION IS STILL UP IN THE AIR TO TO MANY DEGREES. BOB COSTAS CROSS-EXAMINATION, I THINK THAT HAD A HEAVY IMPACT ON THAT QUESTION BECAUSE TO TO THE DEFENSE’S CREDIT, PUTTING OUT A WITNESS THAT DOESN’T HAVE THE CREDIBILITY ISSUES THAT MICHAEL COHEN HAS, THAT BEING THE NUMEROUS VIOLATIONS OF LAW FOR LYING, PERJURY, FRAUD, LYING TO CONGRESS. BOB COSTELLO SAYING THAT THIS MICHAEL COHEN, WHEN HE CAME TO ME WAS VERY MANIC AND SEEMED TO BE SUGGESTING THAT HE HAD NOTHING ON TRUMP, WHERE IF HE DID, HE COULD HAVE EVADED A LOT OF PROSECUTION FROM THE FDNY AND OTHERS WHO ENDED UP FILING CHARGES. IF YOU BELIEVE THEN MICHAEL COLLINS CREDIBILITY IS OUT THE WINDOW. SO I THINK FOR THE PROSECUTION ,TO ERIN’S POINT, HAVE TO DO A CROSS-EXAMINATION TO SHOW THAT THE FOCUS WAS MORE ABOUT GETTING INFORMATION FROM COSTELLO THROUGH RUDY GIULIANI TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MICHAEL COHEN’S LANDSCAPE WAS IN THE LEGAL FIELDS, RATHER THAN MICHAEL COHEN BEING TRUTHFUL TO HAVING NOTHING ON DONALD TRUMP. >> AND NOW, ERIN, THE DEFENSE ALSO MADE THIS MOTION TO DISMISS YESTERDAY, DONE THIS IN THE PAST. THE JUDGE STILL HASN’T RULED ON THAT. WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR THERE ? >> IT WAS A FULL THROATED, ALMOST HYPERBOLIC MOTION FROM THE DEFENSE TO GET THE JUDGE TO DISMISS THE CASE BEFORE IT EVEN GOES TO THE JURY. THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHE, SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT ANY BUSINESS RECORDS WERE FALSIFIED, NO EVIDENCE OF ANY CRIMINAL INTENT BY ANYONE AND SAID THAT THE WHOLE THEORY OF THE PROSECUTION’S CASE WAS WRONG. YOU KNOW, THE PROSECUTORS HAVE LAID OUT THIS IDEA THAT THE STORMY DANIELS PAYOFF AND ITS COVER UP WAS WAS ALL TO KEEP INFORMATION FROM VOTERS IN 2016. AND THE SAID HOW IS THAT A CRIME TO KEEP INFORMATION AWAY FROM VOTERS? >> ALL RIGHT. AARON KATERSKY KATHERINE FAULDERS BRIAN, BUCK MYER, THANK YOU. AND WE WILL BE COVERING TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. ALL DAY LONG. WE’LL BRING YOU THE LATEST RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN, MEANWHILE, IS REJECTING ALLEGATIONS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AS A PROSECUTOR SEEKS ARREST WARRANTS FOR ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER AND OTHER TOP OFFICIALS FOR WAR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. BIDEN CALLS THE PROSECUTOR’S REQUEST OUTRAGEOUS, SAYING THE WAR IN GAZA IS NOT. THE PROSECUTOR FOR THE ICC SAYS HE’S ALSO SEEKING ARREST WARRANTS FOR TOP HAMAS LEADERS. CHIEF WHITE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE HAS THE LATEST. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN RALLYING TO ISRAEL’S DEFENSE IN BLUNT TERMS. >> WHAT’S HAPPENING IS NOT. WE REJECT THAT. >> NOW WE STAND WITH ISRAEL AND THE THREATS AGAINST ITS SECURITY. >> BIDEN OUTRAGED, ANNOUNCING THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AS ITS PROSECUTOR SEEKS A GLOBAL ARREST WARRANT FOR BOTH PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND HAMAS LEADER YAHYA SINWAUR FOR WAR CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. >> ONE OF THESE WARRANTS MAY IMPLY THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. THE COURT’S TOP PROSECUTOR, KARIM KHAN, ACCUSING NETANYAHU ,HIS DEFENSE MINISTER YOAV GALLANT OF DELIBERATELY STARVING PALESTINIANS BY CHOKING OFF AID AND DELIBERATELY TARGETING CIVILIANS IN CONFLICT. THE HAMAS RUN HEALTH MINISTRY SAYING OVER 35,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED. >> UNFORTUNATELY, CRIMES CONTINUE TO THIS DAY. ISRAEL, LIKE ALL STATES, THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITS POPULATION. THOSE RIGHTS, HOWEVER, DO NOT ABSOLVE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO COMPLY WITH INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW. >> THE ICC, WHICH INVESTIGATES AND TRIES INDIVIDUALS ACCUSED OF THE GRAVEST CRIMES, ALSO CHARGING THREE SENIOR LEADERS OF HAMAS FOR THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK THAT KILLED ROUGHLY 1200 PEOPLE AND LAUNCHED THE WAR, ACCUSING THEM OF MURDER, TORTURE, AND HOSTAGE. NETANYAHU CALLING THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM ABSURD. >> WHAT A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE. WHAT A DISGRACE. AND BLASTING COMPARISON TO HAMAS. >> THE ICC HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER AND MR. KHAN’S ACTIONS WILL NOT STOP US FROM WAGING OUR JUST WAR AGAINST HAMAS. >> NOW, THREE JUDGES WILL DECIDE IN THE COMING WEEKS WHETHER OR NOT TO ISSUE THESE ARREST WARRANTS. AND IF THEY DO WELL, NETANYAHU COULD THEN FACE ARREST IN ANY OF THE NATIONS THAT ARE PARTY TO THE COURT. DIANE. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE U.S., BUT DOES INCLUDE MOST OF EUROPE. >> CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE ,THANK YOU. AND EARLIER ON "GMA", ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER RESPONDED TO THE ICC PROSECUTOR’S REQUEST FOR A WAR CRIMES ARREST WARRANT, CALLING IT ABSURD. HERE’S WHAT HE TOLD OUR GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS THIS MORNING. >> YOU’VE BEEN ACCUSED OF USING AS A WEAPON OF WAR. I KNOW YOU’VE CALLED THAT DECISION BY THE PROSECUTORS, OUTRAGEOUS. THE PROSECUTOR RESPONDED TO THAT YESTERDAY. >> WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. ISRAEL HAS EVERY RIGHT NOT TO GIVE SUCCOR TO. HAMAS THAT IS NOT CONTESTED. ISRAEL HAS EVERY RIGHT. HE DID AN OBLIGATION TO GET HOSTAGES BACK. BUT YOU MUST DO SO BY COMPLYING WITH THE LAW. THE FACT THAT HAMAS FIGHTERS NEED WATER DOESN’T JUSTIFY DENYING WATER FROM ALL THE CIVILIAN POPULATION OF GAZA. >> YOUR RESPONSE? WELL, I THINK THIS IS ABSURD. THIS IS BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS. HE SAID THAT WE DENY WATER AND HE’S MAKING A TOTALLY FALSE ACCUSATION HERE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. WE ARE SUPPLYING NOW NEARLY HALF OF THE WATER OF GAZA WE SUPPLIED ONLY 7% BEFORE THE WAR. SO THIS IS COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE’S SAYING. HE’S SAYING THAT WE’RE STARVING PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SUPPLIED HALF A MILLION TONS OF FOOD AND MEDICINE WITH 20,000 TRUCKS. THIS GUY IS OUT TO DEMONIZE ISRAEL. HE’S DOING A GOOD JOB. HE’S CREATING A FALSE SYMMETRY . THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND THE TERRORISTS CHIEFTAINS. THAT’S LIKE SAYING AFTER 911, WELL, I’M ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FOR GEORGE BUSH, BUT ALSO FOR BIN LADEN OR AFTER IN WORLD WAR TWO. WELL, I’M ISSUING THE ARREST WARRANTS FOR FDR, BUT ALSO FOR HITLER. IT’S A HIT JOB. IT’S NOT SERIOUS. HE’S OUT TO DEFAME ISRAEL AND HE’S ALSO POURING GASOLINE ON THE FIRES OF ANTI-SEMITISM THAT ARE SPREADING AROUND THE WORLD BECAUSE HE IS ATTACKING THE ONE AND ONLY JEWISH STATE AND TRYING TO HANDCUFF US, PREVENTING US FROM EXERCISING RESPONSIBLY THROUGH THE LAWS OF WAR AS WE OBEY THEM AND WE ARE SUBORDINATE TO THEM. HE’S SAYING WE’RE NOT. HE’S CREATING SYMMETRY, FALSE FACTS, AND HE’S DOING THAT GRAVE INJUSTICE TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT. >> AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS A SERIOUS FOOD CRISIS IN GAZA RIGHT NOW. CINDY MCCAIN, HEAD OF THE U.N. WORLD FOOD PROGRAM, SAID PARTS OF GAZA ARE FULL BLOWN FAMINE. DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT UNDER INTERNATIONAL, ISRAEL HAS A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PREVENT PEOPLE IN GAZA FROM STARVING? >> WELL, WE CERTAINLY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ENABLE TRUCKS TO GO IN. AND AS I SAID WE’VE ENABLED 20,000 TRUCKS TO GO IN. WE JUST FIX THE ROAD BOTH TO ENABLE THOSE TRUCKS TO GO IN. AND HALF A MILLION TONS OF FOOD AND DRUGS. SO WHO’S STOPPING THIS? IN FACT, HAMAS IS THE ONE THAT IS LOOTING THESE THESE TRUCKS WHILE WE’RE ENABLING THEM TO GO IN. WE DON’T HAVE DELIBERATE STARVATION DIET. WE DON’T HAVE A POLICY. IN FACT, HAVE THE OPPOSITE POLICY TO ALLOW MAXIMUM HUMANITARIAN AID TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF HARM’S WAY WHILE HAMAS IS DOING EVERYTHING TO KEEP THEM IN HARM’S WAY AT GUNPOINT. AND IN FACT, WE’VE SENT BILLIONS OF TEXT MESSAGES, PHONE CALLS, LEAFLETS TO PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING THAT NO ARMY AND NO GOVERNMENT HAS DONE IN A MODERN URBAN WARFARE, GIVING UP THE ELEMENT OF SUPPLIES, TELLING PEOPLE, GET OF HARM’S WAY AND LET US FINISH THE WAR AGAINST THE TERRORISTS. WE’RE NOT TARGETING THE POPULATION. WE’RE TARGETING THE TERRORISTS. THESE ARE FALLACIOUS. I THINK THAT THEY CAST A TERRIBLE A TERRIBLE STAIN ON THE ICC. BUT I THINK SERIOUS COUNTRIES ARE NOT TAKING SERIOUSLY. AND I WAS VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLED THEM OUTRAGEOUS. AS IN MANY LEADERS, BIPARTISAN SUPPORT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. AND PEOPLE ARE NOW PUTTING BILL IN CONGRESS A BIPARTISAN BILL TO PUT SANCTIONS ON THE ICC PROSECUTOR FOR DOING SUCH A TERRIBLE SINGLING OUT OF ISRAEL. REALLY, REALLY A DISTORTION AND A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE. >> ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT TRAVELING IN THE WAKE OF THIS ARREST WARRANT? NO, I’M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT TRAVELING. I THINK I’M NOT CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT OUR STATUS. I THINK THAT THE PROSECUTOR SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS STATUS BECAUSE HE’S REALLY TURNING THE INTO A PARIAH INSTITUTION. PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. THEY SEE IT AS A POLITICIZED THING. I HOPE THAT THE JUDGES DON’T TURN DON’T CONFIRM WHAT HE SAYS, BECAUSE THAT WILL MAKE THEM INTO A KANGAROO COURT. ISRAEL IS FIGHTING A JUST WAR, NOT ONLY OURS, NOT ONLY OUR WAR, WE’RE FIGHTING THE WAR OF ALL DEMOCRACIES, BECAUSE IF DEMOCRACIES ARE NOW FACED WITH A SITUATION THAT AFTER TAKING EFFORTS TO GET PEOPLE’S OUT OF HARM’S WAY TO SUPPLY HUMANITARIAN AID ON A VAST SCALE, IF THEY’RE TOLD, THEN THEY’RE HAULED INTO THE DOCK BECAUSE THE TERRORISTS WERE FIGHTING THEM AND USING CIVILIANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS, THEN OTHERS WILL DO IT AGAIN AND EVERY DEMOCRACY WILL BE PULLED INTO THE DOCK. >> WE’RE FIRST. YOU’RE. THE BIG QUESTION. PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT. SO THAT HAS TO BE STOPPED AND THAT HAS TO BE RESISTED. AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THE VAST MAJORITY OF ISRAELIS AND ALL RESPONSIBLE LEADERS IN THE WORLD UNDERSTAND THAT THIS SHOULD BE RESISTED. >> THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS THE DAY AFTER FIGHTING STOPS? DO YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR THE DAY AFTER THE WAR. >> ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THE AFTER THE WAR, IT’S FIRST OF ALL, THE DAY AFTER HAMAS, YOU HAVE TO DESTROY HAMAS. OTHERWISE, GAZANS DON’T HAVE A FUTURE. PEACE DOESN’T HAVE A FUTURE, AN EXPANSION. PEACE DOESN’T HAVE A FUTURE. SO GET RID OF HAMAS. THAT’S OUR GOAL. NUMBER. NUMBER TWO, DEMILITARIZE GAZA. AND THE ONE SUSTAINED DEMILITARIZATION, I THINK REQUIRES THAT ISRAEL HAVE THE OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIGHT RESURGENT TERRORISTS. THREE ENSURE THAT GAZA WILL SEEK A CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATION BY GAZANS WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH HAMAS AND ALSO DON’T SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND THE LAST THING IS REALLY REBUILD GAZA IN A PEACEFUL WAY USING THE SUPPORT OF MODERATE ARAB STATES AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THAT’S A REALISTIC PLAN. THAT’S THE ONE I HAVE. BUT IT GOES VICTORY. THERE IS PEACE AND STABILITY AND PROSPERITY ONLY THROUGH VICTORY. THE ROAD TO PEACE GOES THROUGH VICTORY OVER HAMAS. >> MR. PRIME MINISTER, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. >> OUR THANKS TO GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS AND PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU FOR THAT INTERVIEW. COMING UP, EXTREME HEAT ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHERE THE UNREASONABLY OR UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES ARE SETTLING IN THIS WEEK AND THE CLIMATE AND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. HOW DO I IDENTIFY AND COPE WITH ECO ANXIETY IN THE EVER CHANGING CLIMATE?

HUGE HAIL AND WINDS OF UP TO 90 MILES PER HOUR ARE FORECAST ACROSS THE MIDWEST THIS YEAR FOR MORE THAN 100 SEVERE STORM REPORTS YESTERDAY FROM COLORADO TO MICHIGAN. SAM CHAMPION IS TRACKING WHERE THAT THREAT IS NEXT. >> HI, SAM. IT’S BEEN A TOUGH SEVERE SEASON AND YESTERDAY WAS NO EXCEPTION. MORE THAN 100 SEVERE STORMS REPORTED YESTERDAY. I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME HAIL COMING OUT OF YUMA, COLORADO. AND YOU CAN SEE THE MOTORCYCLE . HOW DEEP THAT. LOOK AT THAT.

DID YOU JUST STAND THERE AND LET MY FRIEND’S CHILD DIE? HI, I’M DAN SAITO. TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST COURT IS BACK IN SESSION IN THE CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM IS EXPECTED TO REST ITS CASE TODAY IN THIS FINAL STRETCH OF HIS HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL BEFORE ENTERING THE COURTROOM, TRUMP SPOKE TO THE CAMERA, SAYING PROSECUTORS HAVE NO CASE AND THAT NO CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED. >> TODAY, ROBERT COSTELLO, A LAWYER, ONCE ADVISED TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER, MICHAEL COHEN, WILL RETURN TO THE STAND AFTER DRAMATIC DAY OF TESTIMONY YESTERDAY. THE JUDGE AT ONE POINT WAS SO ANGRY HE CLEARED OUT THE COURTROOM. >> ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY JOINS ME NOW FROM OUTSIDE COURT, ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS AND ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE MORE. >> ERIN, LET’S START WITH WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TODAY. BOBCATS WAS ON THE STAND. >> WHAT OR WILL BE ON THE STAND? WHAT IS HE EXPECTED GET INTO TODAY? >> YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE JUST TOOK HIS PLACE AT, THE BENCH. DIANE WE EXPECT THAT ROBERT COSTELLO WILL RETURN TO THE WITNESS STAND MOMENT NOW FOR, I DON’T KNOW, HALF HOUR, 45 MINUTES LEFT OF CROSS-EXAMINATION BY ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY SUSAN HOPFINGER, WHO IS GOING TO TRY AND QUESTION HIS ACCOUNT OF MEETING WITH MICHAEL COHEN RIGHT AFTER THE FEDS, COHEN’S HOME AND OFFICE IN 2018, WHEN COSTELLO DESCRIBED COHEN AS MANIC AND SUICIDAL, HOPFINGER SAID, YOU CALL A DRAMA QUEEN, DIDN’T YOU? AND COSTELLO CONCEDED THAT WHAT HE DID AND WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE OF THAT MEETING ARE KIND OF IN DOUBT. COLLINS SAID THAT HE FELT PRESSURED TO COME INTO THE FOLD BECAUSE COSTELLO IS CLOSE TO RUDY GIULIANI, WHO WAS ABOUT TO JOIN LEGAL TEAM. AND COSTELLO SAID HE DIDN’T EVEN WANT COHEN AS A CLIENT. BUT THERE WAS THE EMAIL TO HIS SON ABOUT HOW HE LANDED COHEN AS A CLIENT WAS ALL VERY CONFUSING, AND WE KNOW THAT THAT COHEN HAS SOME SOME TRUTH ISSUES HERE. SO THE PROSECUTOR WAS GOING TO DO WHAT THEY CAN WITH HIM, AND THEN THAT SHOULD BE IT FOR THE DEFENSE. THEY’LL REST THEIR CASE IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, WITH NO TESTIMONY FROM TRUMP HIMSELF. >> CATHERINE DONALD TRUMP JR. IS IN COURT WITH HIS FATHER TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME, ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF REPUBLICAN IN TRUMP’S ENTOURAGE. >> HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? I’M NOT TOTALLY SURPRISED BY BY THAT. WE’VE KNOW THAT TRUMP’S SONS HAVE BEEN IN COURT. DON JR THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME THERE. OF COURSE, WE’VE SEEN ERIC TRUMP IN COURT, SO I’M NOT TOTALLY SURPRISED BY THAT, BUT I THINK IT’S DEFINITELY CONTINUATION OF THIS SUPPORT THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT WANTS IN THE COURTROOM. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVEN’T SEEN MELANIA TRUMP AT ALL. SHE HAS BEEN ESSENTIALLY INVISIBLE FROM THIS TRIAL. BUT IN OF THE FAMILY. BUT THEN YOU SEE THE YOU SEE THE GROUP THERE. THAT’S A GROUP TODAY WALKING IN A NEW GROUP OF SUPPORTERS, IF YOU WILL, AND I AND, I THINK IT’S JUST REPRESENTS REALLY HOW TRUMP IS TRYING TO BRING THE CAMPAIGN TO THE COURTHOUSE. HE SAID THAT PUBLICLY SAID HE CAN’T BE OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, SO WHY NOT BRING HIS SUPPORTERS AND MOST ADAMANT, YOU KNOW, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO WHO ARE SUPPORTING HIM TO THE COURTHOUSE. SO THIS IS HIS ENTOURAGE FOR THE DAY. AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL. >> BRIAN, WHAT DO YOU OF BARB COSTELLO’S TESTIMONY SO FAR, THE IMPACT FOR THE DEFENSE HERE AND THAT MOMENT WITH THE JUDGE YESTERDAY WHERE THE JUDGE CLEARED COURTROOM AND THREATENED TO REMOVE HIM FROM THE WITNESS STAND? >> YEAH. SO IMPACT I THINK OUTSIDE OF THEATRICAL, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TO SOME DEGREE BENEFICIAL FOR THE DEFENSE BECAUSE IT GAVE THEM AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY, IT GAVE THEM THIS IDEA OF THAT THEY CAN THAT MICHAEL COHEN MAY HAVE BEEN TELLING BOB COSTELLO THE TRUTH THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING ON DONALD TRUMP AND THAT HE’S LYING NOT FOR THE SAFETY OR TO HELP DONALD TRUMP, BUT THAT HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH AND AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE HE COULD HAVE TOLD AN ATTORNEY, I’VE GOT DIRT ON TRUMP, USE THIS FOR THE ACTING AND WHY TO HELP ME. HOWEVER, THE WAY THAT HE PERFORMED IN OF THE JURY AND LUCKILY THE JUDGE PULLED HIM OUT, THE JURY OUT BEFORE THEY SAW THE REAL FIREWORKS. I THINK THAT COULD HARM IN THE SENSE ONE MORE OUTBURST AND THE JUDGE HAS ALREADY THREATENED HOW HOLD HIS ACTIONS AS CONTEMPTUOUS AND THROW OUT HIS ENTIRE TESTIMONY. I DON’T THINK ANY DEFENSE ATTORNEY IS HAPPY ABOUT THAT. AND THEY’RE WORRIED, IF ANYTHING THAT BOB CASALE COULD GO ON ANOTHER TANGENT THAT COULD HAVE HIM RUNNING AFOUL OF COURT RULES IN TERMS OF THE TESTIMONY ITSELF. >> HE IS SAYING MICHAEL COHEN TOLD BEFORE THIS TRIAL EVER STARTED THAT HE HAD NOTHING ON TRUMP AND THAT TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT STORMY DANIELS. >> THIS PAYMENT. STORMY DANIELS. SO HOW IS THE PROSECUTION NOW GOING TO TO THAT? SO THE PROSECUTION ONLY HAD MICHAEL COHEN TESTIFY TO DEGREE ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS SOMEWHAT HESITANT OF BOB COSTELLO, THE RELATIONSHIP WITH RUDY GIULIANI, AND THAT THIS WAS MORE A TESTING OF THE WATERS, SO TO SPEAK, TO SEE WHAT RUDY GIULIANI MIGHT HAVE KNOWN AND HOW THIS INVESTIGATION WAS GOING ABOUT. AND ALSO TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT DONALD TRUMP WAS PROTECTING HIM SO THE PROSECUTION CAN GO THAT ROUTE OF SAYING, YES, MICHAEL COHEN MIGHT HAVE TOLD YOU X, BUT DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S THINKING, WHICH IS WHY. AND MICHAEL COHEN DID TESTIFY TO THAT. AND SO I THINK THAT’S WHERE THE PROSECUTION MAY OR MAY GO THROUGH CROSS-EXAMINATION OF BOTTICELLI, WHICH IS THEY SHOULD LAST ABOUT 30 TO 45 MINUTES. >> AND, ERIN, YESTERDAY THE DEFENSE ALSO MADE A MOTION TO DISMISS, SAYING THERE’S NO EVIDENCE THAT THE RECORDS IN QUESTION HERE ARE THE FILINGS AND QUESTIONS HERE WERE FALSIFIED. THAT IS THE PROSECUTION’S CASE. >> THE JUDGE HASN’T RULED ON THAT YET. WHAT’S THE LATEST? BUT HE DID SEEM A LITTLE SKEPTICAL. JUDGE GERSHON WAS LIKE, YOU WANT ME TO JUST TOSS THE WHOLE THING, DON’T EVEN GIVE IT TO THE JURY. AND DEFENSE ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE SAID, YEAH, AND THEN HE SHOULDN’T EVEN CONSIDER MICHAEL COHEN’S. AND THE JUDGE WAS SKEPTICAL, STILL SAYING THEY THINK HE’S GOT A FALSE. WELL, NEW YORKERS. SO I’M NOT SURE THAT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO GRANT THIS MOTION FOR A VERDICT. BUT IF IT’S COMMON FOR THE DEFENSE TO MAKE ONE UPON THE PROSECUTION RESTING, THAT’S WHAT THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY DID. AND IT REALLY CAPPED A RATHER THEATRICAL DAY. I MEAN, CLEARING THE COURTROOM . I WAS IN THERE AT THE TIME. WE ALL GOT TOLD IT YELLED AT TO GET OUT. SOME OF US OBJECTED TO THE PRESS BEING TAKEN OUT OF A PUBLIC TRIAL. MERCHAN OPTED TO KEEP THE WHAT HE TOLD COSTELLO WITHOUT ANYBODY THERE ON THE RECORD. SO WE KNOW THAT, HE SAID, YOUR BEHAVIOR WAS CONTEMPTUOUS. AND BOB SHOULD KNOW BETTER. HE WAS A PROSECUTOR. HE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS WHEN AN OBJECTION SUSTAINED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED TALKING. IT SEEMED PERFORMATIVE AND THE JUDGE FINALLY HAD ENOUGH. YOU KNOW, DON’T ROLL YOUR EYES. DON’T SAY CHEESE AND EXHALE LOUDLY. AND THEN WHEN COSTELLO GLARED AT HIM THE JUDGE, LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, ARE YOU STARING ME DOWN? AND THAT’S WHAT HE CLEARED THE COURTROOM, HAD EVERYBODY OUT SO THAT HE COULD ADMONISH HIM FURTHER. I WAS PRETTY DRAMATIC AND A RARE CLEARING OF THE COURTROOM. >> THAT’S SOMETHING YOU NORMALLY SEE IN THE MOVIES AND WHAT DOES IT DO THAT THIS IS AN ATTORNEY? >> TO ERIN’S POINT, THIS IS NOT SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND A NORMAL DECORUM OF A COURTROOM OR THE WAY THESE PROCEEDINGS WORK. >> THIS GUY DOES, THIS FOR A LIVING AND YET HAD THIS EXCHANGE. >> WHY DO THAT? IT’S NOT ONLY IT’S ALSO THAT WE ARE CONSIDERED OFFICERS OF THE COURT AND WE’RE SUPPOSED TO CONDUCT OURSELVES MANNER THE WAY THAT YOU’RE ALLOWED TO CONDUCT YOURSELF AS A REPORTER, JUST AS A CITIZEN IS FAR DIFFERENT THAN ME. I HAD A CERTAIN SET OF RULES THAT I HAVE TO ABIDE BY. AND SO FOR AN ATTORNEY TO DO THAT, I THINK FLIES IN THE FACE OF WHAT THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS, I THINK THAT THAT FRUSTRATION. WHY DO THAT? I THINK ERIN HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. IT’S PERFORMATIVE. THE ONLY QUESTION IN MY MIND IS WHO IS HE PERFORMING FOR, WHETHER HE THINKS PERFORMING FOR THE JURY. HE’S DEFINITELY NOT PERFORMING FOR THE JUDGE OR, THE PROSECUTOR. MAYBE HE’S PERFORMING FOR DONALD TRUMP OR SOMEONE ELSE. BUT THOSE ACTIONS, I THINK, CAN DERAIL HIS CREDIBILITY AND ALSO HAVE JURORS LOOKING AT HIM IN A WAY OF WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? WHO YOU HERE FOR AND WHO ARE YOU PERFORMING FOR, WHERE HIS TESTIMONY COULD HAVE ACTUALLY REALLY HELPED. >> AND BOB HAS RESUMED CROSS-EXAMINATION AND OUR JOSH HONEGGER IS DESCRIBING HIM AS BEING A LITTLE SNARKY ON THE STAND THIS MORNING, ALREADY SORT OF ANSWERING, GIVING A LITTLE MORE IN AN ANSWER. >> THEN HE’S NECESSARILY AS YOU JUST RESPONDED WITH SOMETHING SAYING I DID, I PROVIDED LOT OF EMAILS TO YOUR OFFICE. SO WE MAY BE IN FOR ANOTHER DRAMATIC IN COURT. >> WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. BUT — BUT, CATHERINE, BEFORE HE STARTED TESTIMONY, THE JUDGE STARTED WITH SOME BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING, SCHEDULING, TALKING ABOUT JURY DELIBERATIONS, CLOSING ARGUMENTS FOR NEXT WEEK. WHAT IS THIS TIMELINE LOOKING LIKE NOW AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN? >> YEAH, SO SO THE JUDGE WAS SAYING THAT HE’S TO SPARE THE JURY ABOUT THEIR AVAILABILITY TO SIT NEXT WEDNESDAY. WE KNOW THAT SUMMATIONS ARE CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY THAT’S AFTER MEMORIAL DAY. SO HAVING THAT ADDITIONAL WEDNESDAY COULD REALLY STREAMLINE THIS PROCESS. SO WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS THERE . AND LOOK, I THINK AT THAT POINT AFTER AFTER SUMMATIONS AND THE GETS THE CASE, IT’S IN THE HANDS OF THE JURY. SO IT’S JUST ABOUT HOW LONG THEY, IN FACT, DELIBERATE. NOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN? THEY SAID ON WEDNESDAY TRUMP COULD GO OUT AND CAMPAIGN ON WEDNESDAY. HE HASN’T REALLY BEEN DOING MUCH OF THAT ANYWAY. HE’S BEEN DOING THAT ON THE WEEKENDS. SO I DON’T REALLY THINK IT SLOWS DOWN HIS CAMPAIGN TIMELINE OR HIS DESIRED CAMPAIGN TIMELINE, IF YOU WILL . >> AND BRIAN, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR WITH COSTELLO BACK ON THE STAND? >> IT SEEMS SUSAN HOPFINGER IS TRYING TO GO AFTER HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CALLING, SHOWING AN EMAIL WHERE COHEN IS ASKING HIM TO STOP CONTACTING, SAYING, YOU’VE NEVER REPRESENTED ME HERE. HOW MUCH ARE THEY GOING TO NOW? TRY TO DISTANCE THIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO AND ESSENTIALLY TRY TO MAKE THE CASE, I SUPPOSE, THAT YOU DIDN’T REALLY KNOW MICHAEL COHEN THAT WELL. WHY WOULD HE TELL YOU THESE THINGS? >> YEAH, AND BOB KESSLER KIND OF GAVE SOME HINTS OF THAT ALREADY IN HIS TESTIMONY THAT HE IS NOT THE ONE WHO KNOWS. MICHAEL COHEN, THAT THAT INTERACTION THAT HE’S DESCRIBED WAS THE FIRST TIME HE MET HIS PARTNER THAT SO DISTANCING HIM FROM MICHAEL COHEN AND BEING LIKE, YOU DON’T KNOW MICHAEL COHEN, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO GAUGE HIS TRUTHFULNESS OR LYING WHETHER HE’S PLAYING. YOU ARE TELLING YOU THE TRUTH AND THEN SHOW HOW THAT RELATIONSHIP DEVOLVED OVER TIME AND HOW MICHAEL COHEN OR AT LEAST TRIED TO ESTABLISH HOW MICHAEL COHEN MAY HAVE DISTRUSTED BOB COSTELLO BECAUSE OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH RUDY GIULIANI, IF THEY CAN, BEING THE PROSECUTION RAISED THAT DOUBT HIS TESTIMONY. >> I THINK THAT WILL HELP HIM A LONG WAY. AARON. WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR NEXT ? WELL, SEE HOW THE THE CROSS-EXAMINATION GOES AND THEN I GUESS THE ULTIMATE QUESTION IS WHETHER DONALD TRUMP WILL TESTIFY IN HIS DEFENSE. HE HAS SAID THAT HE WOULD HE HAS SAID THAT HE WANTS TO HIS ATTORNEYS PROBABLY DON’T WANT HIM TO. AND WE’RE TOLD THE DEFENSE ONLY HAS THESE TWO WITNESSES. IT WAS COSTELLO AND BEFORE HIM, THEY PUT THEIR PARALEGAL ON TO GET A SUMMARY CHART PHONE CALLS INTO INTO EVIDENCE. WE THINK THIS IS IT. BUT UNTIL TRUMP SAYS SO THAT HE’S NOT GOING TO TESTIFY, WE CAN’T RULE IT OUT. SO WE’LL BE WAITING TO SEE WHAT HE DOES ONCE. COSTELLO OFF THE WITNESS STAND. >> ALL RIGHT. AARON KATERSKY KATHERINE FAULDERS BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU. >> AND WE WILL BE COVERING TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL ALL DAY. WE’LL BRING YOU THE LATEST RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> MEANWHILE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS UNDER FIRE AFTER POSTING AND NOW DELETING VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT USED LANGUAGE FROM NAZI GERMANY. IT’S THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF POSTS AND STATEMENTS HIS OPPONENTS SAY ARE ANTI-SEMITIC AND AUTHORITARIAN. >> RACHEL SCOTT HAS THAT STORY . >> FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SPARKING BACKLASH AFTER A VIDEO TO HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT SEEMINGLY SUGGESTS THERE WILL BE A UNIFIED IF HE WINS THE 2024 ELECTION. >> DONALD TRUMP WINS. >> WHAT’S NEXT FOR AMERICA?

THE THREAT VIDEO FEATURES HYPOTHETICAL NEWSPAPER ARTICLES ABOUT TRUMP CELEBRATING A VICTORY IN NOVEMBER. THAT PHRASE APPEARING THREE TIMES, INCLUDING UNDER THE HEADLINE WHAT’S NEXT FOR AMERICA? IT INCLUDES REFERENCES TO WORLD WAR ONE, CITING GERMAN INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH AND PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. >> ANOTHER HEADLINE SUGGESTING TRUMP WOULD REJECT GLOBALISTS, A PHRASE OFTEN USED BY THE FAR RIGHT AS AN ANTI-SEMITIC SLUR. IN A STATEMENT, TRUMP CAMPAIGN’S PRESS SECRETARY SAYS THIS WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN VIDEO. IT WAS CREATED BY A RANDOM ACCOUNT ONLINE AND REPOSTED BY A STAFFER WHO CLEARLY DID NOT THE WORD. >> WHILE THE PRESIDENT WAS IN COURT. THE AMERICAN DREAM IS BACK. >> THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DELETED THE VIDEO AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, BUT IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME TRUMP HAS USED LANGUAGE SIMILAR TO ADOLF HITLER ONCE WROTE. JUST MONTHS AGO, HE DECLARED, IMMIGRANTS ARE POISONING THE BLOOD OF AMERICA. >> THEY’RE POISONING THE BLOOD OF OUR COUNTRY WHAT THEY’VE DONE. >> THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN ISSUING A STATEMENT SAYING, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT PLAYING GAMES. HE’S TELLING AMERICA EXACTLY WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO IF HE REGAINS POWER. RULE OUT THE DICTATOR OVER UNIFIED. >> RIGHT. THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN CALLING THIS A PATTERN THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAD DINNER WITH A WHITE SUPREMACIST TWO YEARS AGO AND ALSO ONCE SAID THAT THERE WERE VERY FINE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES AFTER THE CHARLOTTESVILLE WHITE SUPREMACIST RALLY. WE ASKED TRUMP CAMPAIGN WHY THIS VIDEO WAS LEFT UP FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND DID NOT RESPOND. >> RACHEL SCOTT THANK YOU. AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS ISSUING A NEW WARNING ABOUT ARTIFICIAL AND THE 2024 ELECTION. THE DEPARTMENT SAYS AI OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BAD ACTORS TO UNDERMINE OUR DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM.

ABC NEWS LIVE. AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS ANY TIME ANYWHERE. STREAMING 24/7. STRAIGHT TO FOR FREE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ABC NEWS LIVE. AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS REPORTING FROM FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA COURTHOUSE. I’M REENA ROY. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE. I’M DEVASTATED. LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. ROBERT COSTELLO, FORMER LAWYER FOR RUDY GIULIANI, WHO ONCE ADVISED MICHAEL COHEN, HAS JUST CONCLUDED CROSS-EXAMINATION IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THIS AFTER A DRAMATIC DAY OF TESTIMONY. ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY JOINS ME NOW FROM OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE, ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS AND ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE. ERIN, YESTERDAY SAW THE JUDGE CLEAR THE COURTROOM AND THREATEN TO TAKE COSTELLO OFF THE WITNESS STAND. >> SO IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE OFF TO A BETTER START TODAY, AT LEAST ON THAT FRONT. >> WELL, EVERYONE STILL IN THE ROOM SO. I TAKE THAT AS A WIN. BUT ROBERT COSTELLO’S WITH PROSECUTOR SUSAN HOPFINGER, WHICH JUST CONCLUDED WAS A BIT CONTENTIOUS AS HOPFINGER CONFRONTED HIM WITH EMAIL AFTER EMAIL TO REINFORCE THE IDEA THAT HE WAS PRESSURED MICHAEL COHEN, TO BRING HIM INTO THE FOLD OF LEGAL ORBIT AFTER COSTELLO DENIED DOING ANY THING AND SAYING THAT IT WAS COHEN WHO REALLY WANTED TO COME INTO THE FOLD AND BE A PAL OF RUDY GIULIANI AND GET SECRET MESSAGES PASSED TO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. THESE EMAILS SHOW THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. AND AS HOPKINS HAD REPEATEDLY SAID, THE EMAILS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. AT ONE POINT THERE WAS ONE EMAIL IN WHICH COSTELLO IS EXPRESSING TO A BUSINESS PARTNER USING AN EXPLETIVE TO DESCRIBE MICHAEL COHEN, SAYING HE’S PLAYING WITH THE MOST POWERFUL MAN ON THE PLANET . AND COSTELLO SAID, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, WEREN’T YOU? AT FIRST, COSTELLO SAID NO. THERE’S THE EMAIL. COSTELLO SORT OF FORCED TO EAT IT A LITTLE BIT, AND NOW HE’S ON REDIRECT WITH DEFENSE ATTORNEY ABEL BOVIE. >> BRIAN COSTELLO THE REASON THE DEFENSE IS CALLING HIM IS TO FURTHER QUESTION THE CREDIBILITY OF MICHAEL COHEN AND ESSENTIALLY SAY WHAT MICHAEL COHEN’S TESTIFYING TO IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE TOLD ME. COULD THAT BACKFIRE? THE PROSECUTION NOW MAKES IT SEEM LIKE IT’S ACTUALLY COSTELLO WHO’S NOT CREDIBLE HERE. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, IF HE HAD JUST IN AND JUST GOT THAT SIMPLE INFORMATION OUT ABOUT A MANIC MICHAEL COHEN SAYING THAT HE HAD NOTHING ON DONALD TRUMP AND DIDN’T GIVE ALL THAT EXTRA THAT WE SAW THAT CAUSED HIM TO GET THROWN OUT. AND NOW WE’RE SEEING ON CROSS-EXAMINATION I THINK THE DEFENSE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT TO CALL HIM. BUT THIS WITNESS IS APPEARING TO BE LIKE A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD AND THAT THERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS THEY CAN PULL FROM HIM. BUT ALL OF THESE E-MAILS SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT HE HAS AN AX TO GRIND, AS WELL AS HIS DEMEANOR ON THE STAND. AND I THINK THE JURY CAN INTERPRET THAT AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU’RE NOT FULLY BEING TRUTHFUL WITH US. SO WHY SHOULD WE FULLY BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN? AND NOW IT BECOMES A BATTLE OF WHO’S TELLING TRUTH. AND THAT COULD WORK TO WHOEVER DOES THE BETTER OF THE END OF THIS TRIAL, WHETHER IT BE THE PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE. >> KATHERINE HUGHES, ON REDIRECT. BUT THIS COULD BE THE DEFENSE’S LAST WITNESS, OTHER THAN DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF. >> BIG QUESTION IS, WILL HE TESTIFY? >> WHAT ARE YOU HEARING ON THAT FRONT? YEAH, IT CERTAINLY IS A BIG QUESTION AND WE WILL A FINAL ANSWER WHEN THE DEFENSE RESTED ITS CASE. TRUMP INDICATED AS MUCH BEFORE CAMERAS THIS MORNING WHEN HE SAID SOMETHING LIKE, WE’LL BE RESTING PRETTY SOON. SO THAT DOES INDICATE THAT THIS IS THEIR LAST WITNESS. LOOK, SOURCES THAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING TO AS OF THIS MORNING SAY, TRUMP IS NOT EXPECTED TO TAKE THE STAND. HIS LAWYERS DON’T WANT HIM TO. HE DOESN’T REALLY WANT TO. BUT THERE ARE HIS POLITICAL ALLIES ON TELEVISION AND IN HIS EAR SAYING YOU SHOULD DO IT. >> YOU SHOULD TAKE STAND. >> WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE? SO OBVIOUSLY, HE DOES HAVE THAT IN THE BACK OF HIS MIND. HE PROBABLY WILL NOT TAKE THE STAND. WE WILL KNOW SHORTLY. THIS IS LIKELY TO BE THEIR LAST WITNESS. AND IF HE DOESN’T TAKE THE STAND, HIS LAWYERS WILL CERTAINLY BE BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF. >> AND ERIN, A FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S SON, DON, IS IN COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE’VE SEEN ERIC THERE THROUGHOUT THESE PROCEEDINGS. >> BUT HOW SIGNIFICANT IS IT TO NOW SEE, DON IN COURT? WELL, THIS HAS BEEN A STEADY DRUMBEAT OF SUPPORTERS COMING WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO COURT EACH AND EVERY DAY. I MEAN WE AT ONE POINT HAD THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. TODAY, WE’RE DOWN TO, YOU KNOW ,JOE EPISCOPO. SO I’M NOT SURE THE THE ENTOURAGE IS ALWAYS AS PERHAPS ROBUST AS THE FORMER PRESIDENT LIKE, BUT HE’S CLEARLY ENERGIZED BY HAVING SUPPORTERS THERE. IT PERHAPS IS A SHOW OF STRENGTH. PROSECUTORS HAVE CONCERN THAT IT COULD ACTUALLY THAT IT’S WORRISOME HAVE THESE PEOPLE TRAIPSE IN WITH SECURITY DETAIL. AND THE JURY DID SEE IT IN THE MIDDLE OF TESTIMONY. MANY OF THEM OFTEN WALK ACROSS THE STREET, THE PARK, AND GIVE REMARKS. SOMETIMES THEY’RE HECKLED BY PROTESTERS. OTHER TIMES THEY’RE CHEERED BY PROTESTERS. YESTERDAY’S CREW INCLUDED, I THINK, AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE WHO HAD FELONY CHARGES AGAINST THEM. AND I THINK IT DOES WORK AS A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD. ONE IS A SHOW OF FORCE AND STRENGTH. BUT IF ANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE JURY AS UNSAVORY CHARACTERS, YOU HAD THE DISGRACED FORMER POLICE COMMISSIONER, BERNIE KERIK, YOU KNOW, IN THE ENTOURAGE YESTERDAY WHO WAS PARDONED BY TRUMP. IF PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT AND FIND THAT UNSAVORY, PERHAPS IT WORKS AGAINST HIM POLITICALLY, BUT THERE’S NO TELLING. BUT CLEARLY, TRUMP WANTS THEM THERE. >> AND SO THEY’VE COME EVERY DAY. BRIAN NOW CLOSING ARGUMENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK BASED ON ALL THE PUZZLE PIECES THAT HAVE BEEN LAID OUT THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THIS CASE, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN TERMS OF WHAT COMES OUT DURING CLOSING? >> WELL INTERESTING ENOUGH, YESTERDAY’S TRIAL OVER A DISMISSAL FROM THE DEFENSE GAVE US A BIT OF A KIND OF PREVIEW AS TO WHAT THE PROSECUTION THINKS HIS CASE IS. AND SO FOR THERE, WE’VE SEEN THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT THEORIES OF INTENT TO DEFRAUD, WHETHER IT BE GENERAL DEFRAUD THE VOTING PUBLIC OR DEFRAUD THE GOVERNMENT. WE’VE ALSO SEEN A HINT THAT THERE’S UNDERLYING CRIME THAT MAKES US WHAT IS TYPICALLY A MISDEMEANOR INTO A FELONY HAS TO DO WITH ELECTION FRAUD AND CAMPAIGN FINANCES TO SOME DEGREE. BUT HOW MUCH THE PROSECUTION WILL GO INTO THAT IS STILL UP FOR QUESTION. WHAT I’M REALLY LOOKING AT HERE IS WHAT IS THE DEFENSE SO FAR? ARE THEY GOING TO GO WITH THE BOB COSTELLO VERSION? AND THE IDEA OF MICHAEL COHEN SAID THAT HE HAD NOTHING. MICHAEL COHEN TOLD ME THIS, AND THAT’S TO BE BELIEVED AND THAT HE’S LYING ON STAND EVERYWHERE ELSE. OR ARE WE GOING TO GET INTO THIS KIND OF NITTY GRITTY OF THIS ISN’T A CRIME? IT’S DEMOCRACY TO TO KEEP STORIES AND PUSH OTHER HERE. I’M LOOKING TO SEE HOW THE DEFENSE ARGUES THIS WHEN THEY HAVE A FEW IDEAS THAT THEY CAN, BUT IT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT UNORGANIZED. >> WELL AND SO TO THAT POINT, HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON WHICH AVENUE TO TAKE? BECAUSE WE’VE SORT OF HEARD THE TRUMP WAS DOING THIS TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY, BUT NOW YOU HAVE BOB COSTELLO SAYING, OH, COHEN TOLD ME HE DIDN’T ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT AT ALL. THAT’S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARGUMENT THAN HE KNEW ABOUT IT. BUT THE MOTIVES WERE NOT FOCUSED ON THE ELECTION STYLIST . PEOPLE CAN DISAGREE, BUT I THINK YOU PICK ONE IDEA AND YOU RUN WITH IT BECAUSE IF YOU TRY TO PRESENT TO A JURY, WELL, CAN SAY THAT THERE’S REASONABLE DOUBT BECAUSE HE WAS PROTECTING HIS FAMILY. OR YOU COULD SAY THERE’S REASONABLE DOUBT BECAUSE HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE SCHEME AT ALL. OR YOU CAN SAY IT IS REASONABLE DOUBT BECAUSE HE KNEW THE SCHEME AND LOOK IN HIS WORDS HERE. BUT THERE’S NO UNDERLYING IF YOU DO THAT. IT SEEMS TO ME AT LEAST DISINGENUOUS TO A JURY. I THINK THE DEFENSE HAS TO PICK ONE WHERE THE EVIDENCE THEY FEEL STRONGLY SUPPORTS IT AND RUN WITH IT, BUT WITH SO MANY IDEAS THAT KIND OF DILUTES THEIR ARGUMENTS IN MANY WAYS. >> SO, KATHERINE, WHAT DOES THAT ALL MEAN FOR THE TIMELINE ESPECIALLY WITH DONALD TRUMP STUCK IN COURT AND CLEARLY ANTSY TO ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL? >> YEAH, EXACTLY. AND THE JUDGE INDICATED THAT HE’S TO ASK IF THE JURY CAN COME IN ON WEDNESDAY, WHICH WOULD TYPICALLY BE A DAY THAT TRUMP HAS OFF. I’M NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY IT DOES TO THE TIMELINE ENTIRELY HERE. I THINK THAT FROM THE BEGINNING WE PREDICTED THAT THIS TRIAL WOULD LAST LONGER THAN WE’VE EXPECTED IT TO. SO I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT COMES DOWN TO JURY DELIBERATIONS. HOW LONG DO THEY DELIBERATE? WHEN CAN TRUMP GET BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL? CERTAINLY, HE WILL BE INSIDE THAT COURTHOUSE DURING THE DELIBERATIONS EVERY DAY. SO WE SHOULD EXPECT THAT. BUT I DON’T ANTICIPATE HIM HAVING TO WALK INTO THAT COURTROOM, LET’S SAY, FOR TOO MUCH LONGER. I KNOW HE IS ANTSY, GET OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AT THE SAME TIME, HE HAS BEEN WILLING TO BRING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO HIM. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE DOES THINK THAT LEGAL BATTLES HELP HIM POLITICALLY, WHICH WE WILL SEE HIM. THIS TRIAL IS OVER. IF THERE’S VARIOUS DIFFERENT HEARINGS IN ANY OF THE ONGOING CRIMINAL CASES, HE PROBABLY WILL APPEAR AT THOSE AS WELL. >> AND ERIN, BOB COSTELLO IS NOW BEING QUESTIONED BY THE DEFENSE ON REDIRECT. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT LINE OF QUESTIONING? >> WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR NEXT? WELL, THEY’D LIKE TO TRY AND BOLSTER HIM BY SHOWING HIM DIFFERENT EMAILS THE PROSECUTOR SHOWED HIM ON CROSS-EXAMINATION TO TO GET AT THE DEFENSE IDEA THAT IT WAS MICHAEL COHEN WHO WAS PUSHING FOR THIS BACK CHANNEL RELATIONSHIP AND ACCESS TO TRUMP SO THAT HE COULD RESOLVE HIS HIS LEGAL DISPUTES, WHEREAS PROSECUTORS PORTRAYED IT AS COSTELLO PRESSURING COHEN TO COME INTO THE FOLD. AND YOU RESIST ANY ANYTHING THAT WOULD WOULD IMPLICATE THE FORMER PRESIDENT. SO IN THE END, I THINK A LOT OF IT IS A SIDESHOW BECAUSE THE CORE OF THE TESTIMONY FROM COHEN IS THAT TRUMP KNEW ABOUT THE PAYMENTS. HE HAD MORE THAN 20 DISCUSSIONS WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT ABOUT THE PAYOFF STORMY DANIELS AND THE WAY THAT HE WOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE DEFENSE, I THINK, IS TRYING TO USE COSTELLO TO CHIP AWAY AGAIN AT COHEN’S CREDIBILITY. >> ALL RIGHT, AARON KATERSKY KATHERINE FAULDERS BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU. >> AND WE WILL BE COVERING FORMER TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL ALL DAY LONG AND BRING YOU THE LATEST RIGHT HERE, ABC NEWS LIVE. AND NOW WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS OVERSEAS. ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND AT LEAST TWO DOZEN INJURED AFTER SEVERE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. THE AIRLINE SAYS THE BOEING PLANE FROM LONDON WAS CARRYING 229 PASSENGERS AND CREW WHEN WAS DIVERTED TO BANGKOK FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. MAGGIE, WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR? HEY. WELL, NOW WE KNOW THAT IN ADDITION TO THAT ONE FATALITY, 18 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED. ANOTHER 12 ARE BEING TREATED FOR THEIR INJURIES. AND DIANE, WE’RE NOW GETTING OUR FIRST LOOK INSIDE THE AIRCRAFT, A GLIMPSE OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED UP IN THE AIR THROUGH A SOCIAL MEDIA POST FROM PASSENGERS ON BOARD WERE ABLE TO SEE PASSENGERS BEING TAKEN OFF THROUGH AN EMERGENCY EXIT ON STRETCHERS. YOU THEN SEE SOME FAIRLY GRAPHIC IMAGES THINGS LIKE BLOOD ON THE SEATS. YOU ALSO SEE LARGE DENTS IN THE CEILING AND IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENTS UP AHEAD. ONE PASSENGER SPOKE WITH REUTERS AND DESCRIBED THE SCENE. DIANE, HE SAID SUDDENLY THE AIRCRAFT STARTS TILTING UP AND THERE WAS SHAKING. SO I STARTED BRACING FOR WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AND VERY SUDDENLY THERE WAS A VERY DROP. SO EVERYONE SEATED AND NOT WEARING A SEATBELT WAS LAUNCHED IMMEDIATELY INTO THE CEILING. HE SAYS SOME PEOPLE HIT THEIR HEADS ON, THE BAGGAGE CABIN’S OVERHEAD AND DENTED IT. THEN THEY HIT PLACES WHERE THE LIGHTS AND MASK ARE AND BROKE STRAIGHT THROUGH. THEN WE STILL DON’T HAVE ALL OF THE DETAILS. WE DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED ON BOARD THAT FLIGHT. BUT WHAT SOME OF THESE IMAGES AND VIDEOS THAT ARE BEING RELEASED RIGHT NOW FIRSTHAND ACCOUNTS, IT A IT JUST SOUNDS TERRIFYING. >> AND MAGGIE, WHAT’S BOEING SAYING? YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A BOEING JUST RELEASED A FAIRLY SHORT STATEMENT. THEY SAID WE ARE IN CONTACT WITH SINGAPORE REGARDING THIS FLIGHT AND STAND READY TO SUPPORT THEM. WE EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY WHO LOST A LOVED ONE. AND OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE PASSENGERS AND CREW. AND NOW FOR THE AIRPORT. SINGAPORE AIRLINES HAS BEEN NUMEROUS UPDATES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY ALSO EXPRESS THEIR CONDOLENCES. ALSO SAID THEY’RE PLANNING ON SENDING A TEAM TO THAILAND TO BE THERE TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY THEY CAN. AND THEY’VE ALSO OPENED UP A HOTLINE FOR FAMILIES OF PEOPLE THAT WERE ON THIS FLIGHT. RIGHT. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI, THANK YOU. AND PRESIDENT BIDEN IS REJECTING ALLEGATIONS BY A PROSECUTOR THAT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL SEEKING ARREST WARRANTS FOR THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER AND OTHER TOP OFFICIALS FOR WAR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. BIDEN CALLS THE PROSECUTOR’S REQUEST OUTRAGEOUS, SAYING THE WAR IN GAZA IS NOT. THE PROSECUTOR FOR THE ICC SAYS HE’S ALSO SEEKING ARREST WARRANTS FOR TOP HAMAS LEADERS. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. KAREN, PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS RECENTLY EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER NETANYAHU’S HANDLING THE WAR, ICC ALLEGATIONS. DIANE, THE PRESIDENT IS PUSHING BACK VERY STRONGLY ON THAT, SAYING THAT THESE WOULD BE OUTRAGEOUS AND THAT THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, THE PRESIDENT IN RECENT WEEKS HAS BEEN MORE PUBLIC WITH HIS CONCERNS, HIS FRUSTRATIONS, HOW PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU HAS BEEN HANDLING THE SITUATION IN GAZA, CALLING FOR MORE RESTRAINT, CALLING FOR MORE CARE TO BE TAKEN FOR CIVILIAN CASUALTIES, AND ALSO CONCERNS ABOUT A POTENTIAL MILITARY OPERATION INTO RAFAH. THE UNITED STATES CALLING FOR A DIFFERENT WAY FORWARD. BUT IN TERMS OF WHAT THE ICC ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY, THE WHITE HOUSE DISAGREES WITH THIS STRONGLY. THE PRESIDENT SAID YESTERDAY VERY CLEARLY WHAT’S HAPPENING IS NOT. WE REJECT THAT. >> HE SAYS THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. NOW, JOHN KIRBY, REPORTERS, THE ADMINISTRATION BELIEVES THE ICC DOESN’T HAVE JURISDICTION, GAZA. >> AND HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON SAYS CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING SANCTIONING THE COURT, SAYING IF THE ICC IS ALLOWED TO THREATEN ISRAELI LEADERS, OURS COULD BE NEXT. SO WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE AUTHORITY OF THE ICC HERE ON THE JURISDICTION ISSUE? THE U.S. AND ISRAEL ARE SAYING THE SAME THING, THAT BECAUSE ISRAEL DID NOT SIGN ON AS A PARTY TO THE COURT, THEY CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE UNDER IT. SO THAT’S THE SAME MESSAGE THAT WE’RE HEARING FROM THE UNITED STATES OFFICIALS AND OFFICIALS IN ISRAEL. IN TERMS OF THE SANCTIONS, WE DON’T KNOW YET WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THERE WAS A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, CHIP ROY OF TEXAS, WHO INTRODUCED A BILL TO SANCTION THE ICC AND ITS LEADERSHIP WHEN THERE WERE RUMBLINGS THIS MOVE MIGHT BE IMMINENT. AND, DIANE, THAT BILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY TEXT. WE DON’T HAVE ANY TIMELINE FOR IT. BUT IT DID SAY THAT IT WOULD SEEK TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE COURT IF THEY ENGAGED IN ANY EFFORT TO, INVESTIGATE, ARREST, DETAIN OR PROSECUTE ANY PROTECTED PERSON OF THE UNITED STATES OR ITS ALLIES. NOW, THE ICC PROSECUTOR IS ALSO SEEKING AN ARREST WARRANT FOR THE LEADER OF HAMAS FOR ALLEGED WAR CRIMES. >> SO WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS NOW? YES. SO THIS WOULD GO THROUGH A PROCESS. RIGHT NOW, THERE’S THREE JUDGES THAT WOULD DECIDE IN THE COMING WEEKS WHETHER THEY WOULD MOVE FORWARD TO ISSUE THESE ARREST WARRANTS AND IF THEY DO, PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU AND THE LEADER OF HAMAS COULD FACE ARREST IN ANY NATION THAT IS PARTY TO THE COURT. AND THAT’S AN IMPORTANT THING HERE. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE UNITED STATES, BUT THAT DOES INCLUDE MOST OF EUROPE. SO THAT IS THE COUNTRIES THAT WOULD BE PARTY TO THIS. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, OF COURSE COULD HAPPEN IN THE COMING WEEKS. ALL RIGHT. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, KAREN TRAVERS. >> KAREN, THANK YOU.

YOU’RE TO START TO SEE THAT LINE COMING TOGETHER VERY WELL. THAT WILL THEN SWEEP EASTWARD ACROSS DES MOINES, CEDAR RAPIDS, MASON CITY, DAVENPORT DOWN TOWARDS KIRKSVILLE AND AS FAR NORTH AS LACROSSE. >> IT’S THERE WHERE WE COULD SEE TWO TORNADOES OR EVEN HIGHER AND DAMAGING WIND AS WE MOVE INTO CHICAGO.

YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE, YOU’RE STREAMING ,ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THERE’S A LOT GOING ON. WE’RE STILL A FLASH FLOOD WARNING TO CATCH YOU UP WITH WHAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT IN RIOT ARRESTING DOZENS OF PROTESTERS. WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? ESCALATING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT, THE MIGRANT CRISIS FAST. STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOME FUN IN BETWEEN. CHECK OUT THE GATOR ON THE 17 PULLED A BUZZ BUZZKILL AND BASEBALL FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AMERICA THIS MORNING AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT I’M GOING TO SAY. SO LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. THE DEFENSE HAS RESTED ITS CASE IN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THE JURY IS NOW LEAVING THE COURTROOM UNTIL NEXT WEEK WITH A PRE CHARGED CONFERENCE HAPPENING LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS AFTER TESTIMONY FROM. ROBERT COSTELLO, A FORMER LAWYER FOR RUDY GIULIANI, WHO TESTIFIED THAT MICHAEL TOLD HIM TRUMP DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS. >> I WANT TO BRING IN OUR SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS, ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE CATHERINE. THE JURY IS NOW OUT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? RIGHT. AS YOU MENTIONED, LATER THIS AFTERNOON, THEY’LL HAVE THAT CHARGED CONFERENCE WHERE THE JUDGE WILL DEBATE INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT HOW TO INSTRUCT THE JURY BEFORE DELIBERATIONS. SO THAT WILL HAPPEN AT 215. OBVIOUSLY, THE JURY WON’T BE IN THE ROOM FOR THAT, BUT WE WILL SEE THE FORMER PRESIDENT, HIS LAWYERS AND PROSECUTORS AGAIN AND THEN LOOK AFTER THAT, THAT 215 CONFERENCE. THEY’RE OUT FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, COME BACK. SUMMATIONS WILL BE ON TUESDAY. I’M NOT SURE THAT WE’VE GOTTEN AN ANSWER YET TO WHETHER OR NOT THE JURY CAN BE IN ON WEDNESDAY. HE SAYS IF THEY CAN’T. YEAH, I’M I’M JUST LOOKING AT THE NOTES FROM INSIDE THE COURT BECAUSE THE JUDGE THIS TO BE CONSISTENT. SO TUESDAY THEY’LL DO THE SUMMATION SO CLOSINGS IN THE CASE POTENTIALLY WORK ON WEDNESDAY AND THEN LOOK THIS GOES TO THE JURY. THE JURY WILL BEGIN DELIBERATING. SO WHAT TERMS OF TIMELINE WHEN THE JURY BEGINS DELIBERATING, HOW LONG THAT WILL TAKE, OBVIOUSLY IS UNCLEAR SO IT’S JUST IN THEIR HANDS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, AFTER THAT, HOPEFULLY TRUMP, HE WOULD SAY HOPEFULLY HE COULD GET BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. >> BRIAN, WHAT’S EACH SIDE GOING TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THIS PRE-CHARGE CONFERENCE? >> SO IT’S REALLY ABOUT ARGUING ABOUT WHERE THE COMMAS ARE PUT AND THE I’S ARE DOTTED AND T’S ARE CROSS. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT INSTRUCTIONS LIKE LACK OF INTEREST OR INTERESTED WITNESSES THAT FOLLOWS. AND YOU WHERE DO YOU MAKE ONE FALSE STATEMENT IN ALL YOUR STATEMENTS CAN BE THROWN OUT. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE ACTUAL CHARGES THEMSELVES, THE FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS AND WHAT THEORY THE PROSECUTION IS PUTTING FORWARD AND WHAT LANGUAGE UNDER THAT THEORY IS GOING TO BE USED. AND SO IN THAT BOTH SIDES ARE GOING TO WANT TO GET THE MOST FAVORABLE INTERPRETATION OR WORDS THAT ARE GOING TO BE USED SO THEY CAN KIND OF FIT THOSE FACTUAL ARGUMENTS INTO THE FRAMEWORK THAT IS THE LAW THAT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO GIVE TO THE JURY. >> BASED ON WHAT YOU’VE HEARD SO FAR, WHAT ARE THE KEY POINTS YOU EXPECT EACH SIDE TO FOCUS ON DURING THEIR CLOSING ARGUMENTS? LET’S START WITH THE PROSECUTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO REALLY HOME IN ON AND WHAT STORY ARE THEY GOING TO TRY TO PAINT HERE? >> SO I THINK THEY HONE IN ON HOW THIS CAME ABOUT, THEIR INVESTIGATION. THEY’RE GOING TO START WITH THE CATCH AND KILL SCHEME THAT STARTED WITH DAVID PECKER AND THE CONVERSATION THAT MICHAEL COHEN HAD WITH HIM TO KIND OF CREATE THAT THE MULTIPLE CHECK INS AS THEY’VE TRIED TO POINT OUT THAT MICHAEL COHEN HAD WITH DONALD TRUMP TO ATTACH HIM THIS CRIME, THAT HE IS KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE WORKINGS OF MICHAEL COHEN, AS WELL AS THE PAYMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT AND HOW THOSE ALL OCCURRED. I THINK ANOTHER ASPECT THEY’VE GOT TO FOCUS ON BECAUSE FORGET THE ORDER IN WHICH THESE CLOSING ARGUMENTS HAPPENED IS THE DEFENSE GOES FIRST AND THE PROSECUTION GOES LAST. THE PROSECUTION HAS TO ADDRESS MANY OF THE PITFALLS OF THEIR STAR WITNESS, MICHAEL COHEN, AND HIS CREDIBILITY. THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO REHABILITATE THAT THROUGH CORROBORATION SAYING THAT, YES, COHEN HAS LIED HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE BUT ON THESE INSTANCES, HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH BECAUSE WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS, SO TO SPEAK. AND FOR THE DEFENSE, THEY’VE GOT TO POINT AT EVERY LIE AND EVERY REASON WHY YOU CANNOT BELIEVE MICHAEL COHEN AND THAT THIS CASE RESTS ON HIS CREDIBILITY AND HIS RECOUNTING OF THESE EVENTS. AND I THINK CREDIBILITY BECOMES A BIG POINT FOR BOTH SIDES. >> CATHERINE, WHAT’S AT STAKE HERE FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT, BOTH LEGALLY AND ALSO IN TERMS OF HIS AND REPUTATION? WELL, LEGALLY, IF HE’S FOUND GUILTY, COULD BE OBVIOUSLY POTENTIAL JAIL TIME FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT WHO KNOWS WHETHER THAT WILL HAPPEN OR NOT. BUT IN TERMS OF THE CAMPAIGN, EVEN IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY BY THE JURY, OF COURSE, TRUMP’S LAWYERS ARE OBVIOUSLY EXPECTED TO APPEAL ANY SORT OF VERDICT IN THAT SENSE. SO WE COULD PROBABLY EXPECT THAT LEGALLY. AND AS IT RELATES TO THE CAMPAIGN, LOOK, I KNOW WE’VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE POLITICS AND THE LEGAL BEING BLENDED TOGETHER. THIS ISN’T REALLY GOING TO AFFECT, YOU KNOW, AFTER THE FACT, AFTER THE TRIAL’S OVER, IT’S NOT REALLY GOING TO AFFECT HIS ABILITY TO GET BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, DO HIS RALLIES AND CAMPAIGN AND DO HIS FUNDRAISERS. SURELY HE WILL APPEAR IN OTHER COURTHOUSES IF THERE TO BE SOME HEARINGS OR MOTIONS, HEARINGS OR STATUS HEARINGS THAT HE DOESN’T NEED TO SHOW UP. BUT HE DOES VIEW HIS LOES AND, HIS LEGAL DILEMMAS AS PART OF HIS POLITICAL PLATFORM AT THIS POINT. SO FRANKLY, HE VIEWS THIS AS A BENEFICIAL IN SOME WAY. NOW I’M CURIOUS TO SEE WITH ANY VERDICT IF HE IS A FOUND GUILTY HERE, HOW THAT ULTIMATELY AFFECTS THE POLLING POLITICALLY, HOW THAT AFFECTS HIS MONEY FLOW. WE KNOW THAT SOME DONORS HAVE SAID PRIVATELY THAT THEY WON’T GIVE MONEY IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY, ANY OF THESE IN ANY BE DETERMINED.. THAT S TO DIARIAN, WE CAN’T IGNORE TRIC NATURE OF THIS. A FORMER PRESIDENT HAS NEVER STOOD CRIMINAL. >> SO WHAT DOES THE OUTCOME HERE DO FOR PRECEDENT? I THINK IT CREATES A PRECEDENT THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR POLITICAL, HOW YOU DOCUMENT AND HOW YOU RUN YOUR CAMPAIGN WILL BE EVALUATED NOT JUST BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, BUT BY VARIOUS STATE GOVERNMENTS AS WELL. WE HAVE AN ELECTION THIS YEAR. WE HAVE TWOUALS THAT WE THINING TO THE PRE NOMINEES FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE PARTIES. AND I THINK IN TERMS OF PRECEDENTS, WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE IS WHETHER YOU’RE IN NEW YORK, IOWA, CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS, NOW, STATE PROSECUTORS WILL LOOK AT HOW THESE FILINGS ARE DONE AND HOW THEY’RE DOCUMENTED. AND I THINK WE’RE TO SEE GREATER INVESTIGATIONS OR BETTER SCRUTINY OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES AND HOW THEY RUN FROM THE FEDERAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE STATE LEVEL CATHERINE, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR NEXT IN THESE PROCEEDINGS? LOOK, I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’S GOING TO BE IN THE IN THE HANDS OF THE JURYN.SO THS MORICS FROM FROM THE TRUMP SIDE, I REALLY THI THAO ANY OF THAT. SO THE QUESTION, HOW LONG DO THEY DELIBERATE? THERE’S ALL SORTS OF TEA LEAVES WHEN WHEN READING THE JURY, AS BRIAN KNOWS ALL TOO WELL, IF THEY DELIBERATE AN HOUR LATER, THEY BACK WITH A WITH A VERDICT, THAT’S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD THING FOR TRUMP. BUT YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS? THEY ONLY NEED ONE JUROR JURY. FRANKLY, AT THIS RATE, THE TRUMP LAWYERS VIEW THAT AT AS A WIN IN OUR OUT OF COURT UNTIL WEEK. >> SO WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE CAMPAIGN ON THAT FRONT? WELL FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TAKE ADVANTAGE TO HIT THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND WHAT’S THEIR MESSAGING GOING TO BE UNTIL THEN? >> YEAH, I THINK HE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OSOME WAYS, AND THEIR MESSAGING THROHE TRIALIRTEEN ING EFF LL, AND MAILS THAT WE GET THAT HE’S BEING UNLAWFULLY PERSECUTED AND PROSECUTED BLAMES THIS ON ON JOE BIDEN, EVEN THOUGH THERE’S NO EVIDENCE OF THAT IN ANY WAY AS IT RELATES TO THIS CASE. AIRWAVEI’M SURE DOINGAT CURA OR SOON OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE. ALL OF THOSE ADVISERS YOU SEE HIM BEHIND THERE WHO HAVE SHOWN UP TO COURT WITH HIM, I THINK WE’LL SEE A LOT OF THAT. AND FRANKLY, I DO THINK HE’LL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS. TRUMP WILL IN SOME WAYS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. ITE MEMOR LONG WEEKEND, BUT HE WILL HAVE CAMPAIGN EVENTS AS WELL. >> ALL RIGHT. KATHERINE FAULDERS BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU BOTH AND WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THE LATEST OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL RIGHT HERE ON NEWS LIVE. >> STAY WITH US.

LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY COURT IS ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THE DEFENSE HAS RESTED ITS CASE AFTER A FORMER LAWYER FOR RUDY GIULIANI TESTIFIED TCHAEL HEN TOD KNOW ABOUT TH PA TO STORMYIELS. NOW LAWYERS AREPARING FOR A PRE-CHARGE CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE THEY START PREPARING CLOSING ARGUMENTS. BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT ERIN KATERSKY IS OUTSIDE THAT COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS AND LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE. >> ERIN, WHAT’S THE LATEST? THE CHARGING CONFERENCE WILL BE AFTER THE LUNCH BREAK AND THAT’S A CHANCE FOR THE ATTORNEYS TO DISCUSS THE JUDGE, HOW HE INTENDS TO INSTRUCT THE JURY ON THE LAW AND THE EVIDENCE. AND FOR THIS PARTICULAR CASE. SOME OF THE NUANCES ARE GOING TO BE IMPORTANT BECAUSE I EXPECT THE JUDGE WILL END UP TELLING THE JURYFORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN BE CONVICTED OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IF HE ACTUALLY DOES THE FALSIFICATION HIMSELF OR IF HE CAUSES OTHERS TO FALSIFY THE RECORDS. AND WE KNOW THAT SOME OF WHAT THE PROSECUTORS HAVE ARGUED WERE FALSIFIED INCLUDES THE INVOICES MICHAEL COHEN PREPARED, ASSERTING THAT HE WAS TO BE PAID PURSUANT TO A RETAINER AGREEMENT, WHICH HE TESTIFIED AND OTHERS TESTIFIED DID NOT EXIST. SO SOME OF THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURY ARE GOING TO BE KEY, AND PROSECUTORS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO WANT A MORE EXPANSIVE EXPLANATIONS. PERHAPS THE DEFENSE WOULD WANT MORE NARROWLY TAILORED EXPLANATIONS, GRAND CLOSING ARGUMENTS NOW EXPECTED NEXT WEEK. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING FOR? WHAT DO YOU THINK EACH SIDE HAS DO THERE IN ORDER TO WIN THIS CASE? SOME OF THE PROSECUTION IS VERY STRAIGHT FOR THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF THIS CRIME. THEY HAVE TO MEET EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. THE INTENT TO DEFRAUD AN UNDERLYING CRIME TO AID AND ABET THE COMMISSIONTHEREOF. AND I THI THAT E GOING ALK THROUGHE CATCHD KILL SCHEMES BETWEEN DAVID PECKER AND MICHAEL COHEN. THE WAY THAT THESE CHECKS BACK AND FORTH FOR THE PURPOSE OF REIMBURSEMENT, NOT LEGAL EXPENSES. SURE, THERE’S A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO. THIS IS A REIMBURSEMENT AND NOT A LEGAL EXPENSE. AND THAT’S WHAT THE PROSECUTION HAS TO PROVE. FOR THE DEFENSE, THEY, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, HAVE NUMBER OF THEORIES THAT THEY COULD TRY TO RAISE REASONABLE DOUBT. ONE OF THE PROSECUTION DIDN’T PROVE THEIR CASE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT TO, AS WE’VE HEARD SAY MULTIPLE TIMES, THAT THERE IS NO CRIME IN THISBN AB INS A OF THISYMENT. BASED ON WHAT MICHAEL COHEN ALLEGEDLY TOLD HIM. A LOT OF THEORIES AND THEY DON’T THINK THEY REALLY WORKED THAT WELL TOGETHER. SO I’M LOOKING TO SEE WHICH ONE THEY PICK AND WHICH ONE THEY RUN WITH. >> AND BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND THE TESTIMONY PRESENTED THROUGHOUT THIS CASE, DO YOU THINK THE PROSECUTION ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PROVE DONALD TRUMP IS GUILTY, BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT? >> I THINK THEY HAVE ENOUGH, BUT I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE AS CONFIDENT IN IT AS THEY WERE GOING INTO THIS TRIAL. I THINK THAT MICHAEL COHEN AND THROUGH BOB COSTELLO, THEY TOOK A FEW HITS IN TERMS OF BELIEVABILITY AND CREDIBILITYI THINK I CAN A CONVICBUT I CAN ALSO A PATH TY N ME ARGUMENTS IN BETWEEN, CLOSING ARGUMENTS AND VERDICT. ULTIMATELY, IT’S GOING TO DECIDE AS TO WHAT THESE 12 DECIDE IN TERMS OF THOSE ARGUMENTS BACK AND FORTH AND WHAT FACTS THEY THEY GIVE MORE CREDIBILITY TO. SO, KS N FORND ON THEN TRA? I DON’ IT AFFECTS HIS ABILITY TO BE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TOO MUCH BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’RE GOING INTO THE LONG WEEKEND, MEMORIAL DAY. HE DOES HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO CAMPAIGN BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THEY HAVE TO BE BACK IN COURT ON TUESDAY. THEN ONCE CLOSING STATEMENTS HAPPEN, CLOSING ARGUMENTS, AND THEN THE JURY COULD POTENTIALLY THEY COULD POTENTIALLY WORK ON WEDNESDAY. ONCE THE JURY GETS THE CASE, ONCE THEY BEGIN DELIBERATING. TRUMP ISN’T LIKELY TO LEAVE THAT COURTHOUSE AT ALL. HE’LL STAY THERE DURING THE DELIBERATIONS. AND WE’LL JUST HAVE TO SEE AT THE END OF THE DAY HOW LONG THE JURY DELIBERATES. >> AND THAT WILL OBVIOUSLY DETERMINE HOW AND WHEN DONALD TRUMP CAN GET BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. BUT AS, HE’ BRIN CAMPAIL HE USINGMERA AS SOMEWHAT OF A CAMPAIGN STUMP SPEECH, IF YOU WILL. SO HE HASN’T REALLY AND I KNOW HE SAYS THIS PUBLICLY, BUT HE HASN’T TOTALLY MISSED TOO MUCH OF IT IN A WAY, BECAUSE TRUMP W HIS AS AS GOICS. Y, HE VIEWS IT AS HELPING HIS CAMPAIGN. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE WANT TO GET BACK OUT THERE, BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO PREVENT HIM FROM USING ALL THOSE RESOURCES LIKE THAT CAMERA AND HIS POLITICAL ALLIES TO CAMPAIGN FOR HIM. >> ALL RIGHT, AARON KATERSKY KATHERINE FAULDERS, BRIAN BURKE, MYER, THANK YOU ALL. AND WE WILL BE COVERING TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL ALL DAY LONG. WE’LL BRING YATEST RIGHT HERE ON ABCIVE. E, ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND MORE THAN SIX INJURED AFTER SEVERE TURBULENCE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. THE AIRLINE SAYS THAT PLANE WAS COMING FROM LONDON CARRYING HUNDRED 29 PASSENGERS AND CREW WHEN IT HAD TO BE DIVERTED TO FOR AN E LANDING. STEVE JOINS FOR FORMERMARINE CP MORE O. >> STEVE, THIS FLIGHT REPORTEDLY HIT SEVERE TURBULENCE OVER THE INDIAN OCEAN AND THEN DESCENDED 6000 FEET IN A SPAN OF AB 3 MINUTES. WHAES THAT FEE WHOU’RE ON AIRPLANE? >> NO, NOT, BUT IT’S NOT VERY FUN. NOBODY LIKES TURBULENCE AND PILOTS LIKE TURBULENCE DAY . >> AND SO APPARENTLY THEY WERE COMING IN OVER THE INDIAN OCEAN, OVER THE INDIAN SEA, AND OVERALL ACTUALLY OVER THE IRRAWADDY RIVER VALLEY, WHICH IS IN MYANMAR AS THEY’RE ABOUT TO CROSS INTO THAILAND. >> AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS A VERY TROPICAL AREA. IT’S IT GETS HOT IN THE DAYTIME. AND IT’SY WET AND SOINGOFF THE N YOU GET THESE BIG AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS, WHICH IS WHEN THIS. SOMETIMES THEY CREATE THESE BIG LINES AND MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR PILOTS AND THEY HAVE TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE WORST PART OF THE STORM. SO THINK OF THESE S SORT OF LIKE RS IN IN AIVER A WATERA >> A IS ALUID SO IT’S TURBULENT. WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS THIS HOT RISING AIR CREATES THE TURBULENCE OF THE AIR IS MOVING AROUND. IT GETS UP, IT CONDENSES AND YOU GET THESE BIG THUNDERSTORMS. >> SO THERE IS AIR GOING BOTH AND DOWN INSIDE OF A THUNDERSTORM. AND SO WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY HIT AN AIR POCKET, REALLY WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS YOU’RE GOING INTO TURBULENCE WHERE THE AIR IS RAPIDLY GOING UP AND GOING DOWN AND THE AIRPLANE IS HAVING TO FLY THROUGH THAT. SO THAT’S WHAT WAS PRODUCED HERE. APPARENTLY, THE THOUSAND SEAT SIGN CAME ON JUST PRIOR TO HITTING THIS TURBULENCE, WHICH WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE PILOTS KNEW THEY WERE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH AN AREA OF OF ACTIVITY, AT LEAST THUNDERSTORMS. SOY SAID,, GET YOUR SEATBELT ON. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PEOPLE WERE INJURED, DID NOT GET THEIR SEATBELT ON IN TIME. >> NOW MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TRAVEL EVERY DAY AND TURBULENCE IS SOMETHING PRETTY NORMAL TO ANTICIPATE ON A FLIGHT. >> SO WHAT OU DO IFU’RE A T TO T SOMETHING LIKE THIS? BECAUSE YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THAT FASTEN SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU’RE IN THE BATHROOM OR YOU’RE UP GETTING SOMETHING, YOU’RE TRYING TO GET YOUR TODDLER BUCKLED IN OR, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS HERE WHERE IT’S EASIER SAID THAN DONE TO JUST PUT YOUR SEATBELTS ON RIGHT AWAY. >> SURE. AND ALL OF US ARE IN BETTER AND TRAVELERS AND WE’RE LIKE, OH, IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. IT’S A NICE, CLEAR DAY. SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TYPES OF TURBULENCE AND ONE IS SORT OF CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE WHERE YOU HAVE THE JET STREAM, WHICH WE KNOW WEATHER AROUND THE WORLD. >> WHEN THOSE JET STREAMS COME TOGETHER, THEY CAN CREATE SEVERE TURBULENCE. BUT IN THIS CASE, AND IN MOST CASES, IT’S THERMAL ACTIVITY. IT’S — IT’S THUMS. HE HOTING OFF THE EAHAT KEEPS THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THIS THIS KIND OF INSTABILITY AND TURBULENCE SO THAT’S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND. WHEN THE PILOT AND THE CABIN CREW SAY. PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON. IT MEANS PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON. >> SO I THINK THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR DEATHS OF PEOPLE INSIDE SI. KILLEDURBULENCOT IHAVE YBELT ONT BY TURBULENCE. IF THEY HAD THEIR SEATBELT ON. AS A PILOT YOURSELF, HOW HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS? IS THERE A WAY TO AVOID TURBULENCE OR AT LEAST THIS KIND OF TURBULENCE? THIS KIND OF TURBULENCE SHOWS UP ON RADAR, CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE. WE TALKED ABOUT WHERE YOU HAVE THESE BIG RIVERS OF AIR COMING TOGETHER, NOT SHOW UP ON RADAR. >> SO THAT’S A LITTLE MORE INSIDIOUS. YOU COULD BE,NOW, USG THE BATHROOM OR GETTING SOMETHING TO EAT AND CAUGHT UNAWARES. IN THIS CASE, THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE PILOT SAID, PUT SEATBELT ON. LIKELY BECAUSE THEY SAW THE THUNDERSTORM, A LINE OF SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN FRONT OF THEM. THEY KNEW THEY HAD TO PENETRATE AT SOME POINT. AND SO THERE WAS AT LEAST SOME ADVANCE WARNING HERE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY SOME PEOPLE DIDN’T GET BUCKLED IN IN TIME. >> AND STEVE, THIS EVENT OBVIOUSLY GO UNDER INVESTIGATION. >> WHAT DO YOU WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING FOR AND LOOKING FOR THERE? >> YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WARNING THE CREW ACTUALLY GAVE THE THE FOLKS IN THE BACK? WAS THERE ENOUGH TIME? IT WAS MIDDLE OF THE DAY. RADAR WAS PRESUMABLY WORKING. SO PERHAPS THERE SHOULD FOREOPLEN MORE TIME MORE TI BACLUDE T CREW BET IN,USE IS LIE THAT SOME OF THE CAB CREW THEMSELVES WERE HURT AS WELL. >> SO THEY DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT WAS COMING. >> SO JUST BE WAS THERE ENOUGH TIME? DID THEY GIVE ENOUGH? >> I THINK ONE THING THEY WERE WHERE PEOPLE GET CONCERNED, WHAT ARE THE WINGS GOING TO GET RIPPED OFF AND TURBULENCE. YOU KNOW, WE ALL SEE THE WINGS THERE FLAPPING. THEY’RE DESIGNED TO DO THAT. SO THINK ABOUT THIS. HORRIBLE. IT’S JUST HAPPENED WHERE YOU HAD ALL THESE PEOPLE INJURED. BUT THE AIRPLANE CAME OF IT JUST FINE. >> SO I GUESS THE ONLY POSITIVE THING TO THINK ABOUT HERE IS UNDERSTAND JUST HOW STRONG THESE AIRPLANES ARE, HOW THEY’RE BUILT TO WITHSTAND THIS KIND OF TURBULENCE. AND THE ONLY TIME PEOPLE REALLY GET HURT IN TURBULENCE IS WHEN THEY DON’T BUCKLE THEIR SEATBELT. >> ALL THE PLANES ARE BUILT TO WITHSTAND IT. WE ARE NOT UNLESS WE HAVE OUR SEATBELTS BUCKLED STEVE GANYARD. THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS. >> AND PRESIDENT BIDEN IS REJECTING ALLEGATIONS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AS A PROSECUTOR SEEKS ARREST WARRANTS FOR THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER OTHER OFFICIALS FOR WAR CRIMES BIDEN CALLS THECUTOR’SREQUEST ON THE WARGAZA IS NOT. AND THAT PROSECUTOR SAYS HE’S ALSO SEEKING ARREST FOR TOP HAMAS LEADERS. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. KAREN, PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER BENJAMIN NETAN >>YAHU’S HANDLING OF THE WAR IN GAZA. SO HOW IS HE RECONCILING WITH THIS RESPONSE NOW TO THE ICC SAYING THAT THIS REQUEST IS OUTRAGEOUS? >> YEAH, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID YESTERDAY THAT THERE IS NO EQUIVOCAL BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. AND YES, IT’S TRUE THAT IN WEEKS THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE COME OUT MORE PUBLIC, MORE FORY, NG THAT IS HAS TO TAKE MOCERNARE OVE CIVILIN GAZA.THEY’VE AEEN PUSHI A DIFFERENT PATH FORWARD THAN WHAT ISRAEL MIGHT BE PLANNING FOR A MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION INTO RAFAH, WHERE THERE ARE ABOUT A MILLION CIVILIANS WHO’VE BEEN TAKING REFUGE THERE. AND HESTERDAY VERYAY WI ARRESWAO BLUNTLY WHAT HAPPENING IS NOT. WE REJECT THAT. AGAIN, THE PRESIDENT SAYING THERE’S NO EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN WHAT HAMAS IS DOING AND WHAT ISRAEL IS DOING IF THEY CARRY OUT THEIR WZA. , THETRATORSEY DOS JURISDICTION IN GAZA AND. THE HOUSE SPEAKER IS NOW SAYING CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING SANCTIONING THE ICC REGARDING THESE WARRANTS, SAYING THAT IF THE ICC IS ALLOWED TO THREATEN ISRAELI LEADERS, OUR LEADERS COULD BE NEXT. SO WHAT WHAT IS THAT, THE AUTHORITY OF THE ICC? DO THEY HAVE JURISDICTION>> AND? URISDITH STATE IS SAYINGE THING THAT THE ICC DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY HERE BECAUSE ISRAEL DID NOT SIGN ON THE COURT IS NOT A PARTY TO IT. SO THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT BE HELD LIABLEER IT. NOW, IN TERMS OF SAONS, THEY AREKING TO LSAID THAT HIBOUT WHAT COME XT, BUT IT’S NOT A TIMELINE THAT COULD BE AND WHAT SANCTIONS COULD EVEN LOOK LIKE. THERE WAS REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN CHIP AWAY AT TEXAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHO INTRODUCED LEGISLATION THAT COULD MOVE FORWARD ON SANCTIONS ON THE ICC, THE COURT AND ITS LEADERSHIP. BUT THERE’S NO BILL TEXT OF THAT, NO TIMELINE ON WHERE THAT COULD GO FROM HERE. BUT, DIANE, ONE THING THAT THEYT TO TRY TO INVESTIGATE. THEY THEY WOULD IMPOSE SANCTIONS BASED ON ANYBODY THAT WOULD TRY TO INVESTIGATE ARREST, DETAIN OR PROSECUTE ANY PROTECTED PERSON OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS ALLIES. SO ANOTHER STRONG SHOW OF SUPPORT THERE FROM UNITED STATES AND THE ADMINISTRATION FOR ISRAEL. SO, KHAT AREXT WARR THESE INDSTEPTTING T ND WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DO? >> COULD BENJAMIN NETANYAHU BE TAKEN AWAY IN HANDCUFFS? YEAH, IT COULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THIS TO PLAY RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE THREE JUDGES THAT WILL LOOK AT ALL OF THIS AND THEN DECIDE WHETHER O NOT TO ISSUE THOSE AT WARRANTS. AND HEREOMETHING T IMPOT, THOUGH. ANTS WOU ANYNATION THAT IS PARTT COURT. NOW THAT, OF COURSE, AS WE SAY, IS NOT ISRAEL, BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T SIGN ON TO THIS. THAT’S ALSO NOT THE UNITED STATES, BUT IT IS COUNTRIES IN EUROPE. SO THAT IS WHERE THIS WOULD APPLY. AND AGAIN, THIS WOULD HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AS THESE JUDGES WOULD CONSIDER THE NEXT STEPS. >> AND PRESIDENT BIDEN IS NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY FOR AN EVENT ON VETERANS HEALTH CARE. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HIM TODAY? THIS IS A PRETTY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION. THE PRESIDENT’S GOING TO SAY THAT THERE BEEN OVER 1 MILLION CLAIMS APPROVED FROM VETERANS FOR HEALTH CARE UNDER THE PACT ACT. THIS WAS BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO LAW IN 2000 TO TO GET BETTE VETERANS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO TOXIC BURN PITS OR OTHERZARDE SERVING IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN. THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 5.4 MILLION SCREENINGS FOR VETERANS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THIS KIND OF TOXIC CHEMICALS. NOW, THIS IS PERSONAL FOR THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE OFTEN TALKS ABOUT HOW HIS SON BEAU, DIED OF BRAIN CANCER AND HE SAYS IT’S BECAUSE OF HIS OWN EXPOSURE WHEN WAS SERVING IN IRAQ NEXT TO THOSE BURN PITS. SO LOOK FOR TO TALK ABOUT THAT TODAY. TALK ABOUT HIS SON, BEAU, WHILE HE’S MEETING WITH VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY. >> ALL RIGHT. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS, THANK YOU. >> MEANWHILE, ANTIWAR PROTESTERS WERE JUST REMOVED FROM A SENATE HEARING AFTER INTERRUPTING TESTIMONY FROM SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN, CALLING HIM A WAR CRIMINAL. >> SECRETARY BLINKEN IS THERE TO MAKE THE CASE FOR THE PRESIDENT’S $64 BILLION FOREIGN AFFAIRS BUDGET PROPOSAL. AND THIS ALL COMES AMID A DEEP DIVIDE IN THE COUNTRY OVER FUNDING FOR ISRAEL. >> ABC’S JAY O’BRIEN JOINS ME NOW ON CAPIILL FOR MORE. >> JAY, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? >>EAH. A MINUTE, FRANKLY, DIANE INTO, HIS REMARKS WHEN THE FIRST PROTESTER INTERRUPTED HIM. THAT PROTESTER SAID THAT HE WAS A QUOTE UNQUOTE BUTCHER. AND THEN OTHER PROTESTERS SPRUNG OUT AND SAID, AS YOU NOTED, THEY CALLED HIM A WAR CRIMINAL. THERE WERE ABOUT THREE PROTESTERS, MAYBE FOUR IN TOTAL. THE HEARINGS SEEMS TO HAVE CALMED DOWN SINCE THEN. AGAIN, THESE DEMONSTRATORS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. THE CHAIR OF THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, BEN CARDIN, MADEOINT APOLOGIZE TO BN ABOUT THE INTERRUPTIONS, BUT ALSO SAY THAT E DEATE, AS YOU JUST NOTED ,THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THIS ISSUE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THEN SAID INSIDE THIS HEARING THIS MORNING, NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO AGREE ON DIFFERENT AVENUES OF THE ADMINISTRATION’S HANDLING OF THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. CERTAINLY, THERE ARE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS WHO THINK THAT THE ADMINISTRATION AND BLINKEN AND THE PRESIDENT HAVE LET THEM DOWN ON THIS ISSUE. >> NOW, BLINKEN IS TESTIFYING BEFORE TWO SENATE COMMITTEES, THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE. AND THEN LATER TODAY, ANOTHER SUBCOMMITTEE. >> WHY TWO HEARINGS? WHAT ARE THEY FOCUSING ON? SO THIS IS ABOUT BUDGET. IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU GOT TO KIND OF KICK INTO THE FALL. EVERY SINGLE CABINET SECRETARY TESTIFIEBOUT THEIR BT ANKEN’S TWO DIFFE ONES HE’S G THE OVERAEARING HE ENTIREN RELATIONS COMMITTEE AND THEN A SMALLER HEARING LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON TO A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THAT SAME SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE. AS YOU SAID EARLIER, GOING TO MAKE THE CASE FOR THE BUDGET. BUT YOU ALMOST HIND THAT ASIDE A SO ANOTHER THING THAT BLINKEN IS MOST NOTABLY GOING TO BE ASKED ABOUT IS ADMINISTRATION’S DECISION TO PAUSE THE SHIPMENT OF SOME THOUSAND POUND BOMBS TO ISRAEL OVER CONCERNS THAT THOSE MASSIVE BOMBS COULD BE USED IN ISRAEL’S MILITARY OPERATION IN WRATH IN THAT CITY IN THE SOUTH OF GAZA. THAT’S HOME TO THAN A MILLION REFUGEES. THERE ARE CERTAINLY REPUBLICANS, PARTICULARLY ON THAT COMMITTEE, THAT’S MEETING LATER ON IN THE DAY. LINDSEY GRAHAM, CHIEF AMONG THEM, THAT ARE STAUNCHLY OPPOSED TO THAT DECISION. AND YOU CAN EXPECT EXPECT BLINKEN TO GET SOME POINTED QUESTIONS ON THAT DECISION MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATION, JAKE. >> THIS ALSO COMES AFTER A PROST THETERNATIORIMINAL TED AS THE LEHAMASAELI MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU OVER ALLEGED WAR CRIMES. >> THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS REJECTED THAT MOVE. SO DO YOU THINK WE’LL SEE. >> BLINKEN TALK ABOUT THAT AT THE HEARINGS AT ALL. HE ACTUALLY ALREADY HAS JUST MOMENTS AGO, AND THAT WAS ONE T OF UNIVER REEMENT. P DEMOCRATAT COMMITTEE, THE EPUBLICAN ON THAT CTTEE. AND ANTHONY BLINKEN ALL TOGETHER SAID IN VARIOUS WAYS THEY REJECT THAT ARREST WARRANT AND THE ACCUSATIONS MADE BY THE ICC. THEY SAID IT WAS A FALSE EQUIVALENCY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO COMPARE ISRAEL, TO THE LEADER OF HAMAS, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN TWO ARREST WARRANTS REQUESTED, KAREN EARLIER. ONE YA SIN THE F HAMAS, BENJAMIANYAHU. AGAIN,. H REJEC THOSE IT, CALLED THEM OUTRAGEOUS. THE PRESIDENT HAS. AND BLINKEN ECHOED WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID. AND DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS BOTH AGREEING WITH HIM. >> A RARE POINT OF BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT. >> NJ BLINKEN IS ALSO EXPECTED TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE HOUSE TOMORROW. WHAN WE EXPROM YOU CANECT HIM TO GET SOMENTED QUEST IN FRONT OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS. REMEMBER, IN THE SENATE, THIS COMMITTEE IS CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS. IN THE HOUSE, THE COMMITTEE IS CONTROLLED BY REPUBLICANS. SO PARTICULARLY ON QUESTION OF THEOF THO000 B AND THREA OF WITHHOLDING OTHER MILITARY ASSISTAN THE U.S. TO, ISRAEL, SOMETHING THE ADMINISTRATION HAS TELEGRAPHED THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DO, DEPENDING THIS OPERATION IN RAFAH. YOU CAN EXPECT HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO SEIZE ON THAT TOPIC AND GIVE SOME POINTED QUESTIONS TO THE SECRETARY JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL. >> JAY THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, THE SEVERE WEATHER SLAMMING THE HEARTLAND. STRONG TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE TODAY. WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE ALREADY HIT REGION? ALSO AHEAD, FAST FOOD WARS ARE HEATING UP. HOW LOW THE PRICES ARE GOING AND WHERE YOU CAN GET THE BESTA.

ABC NEWS THIS IS STARTING TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES START HERE THAT THAT’S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR HI I’M SAITO. LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. COURT IS ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY. FORMER PRE TRUMP’SSTORIC CL HUSM THE DEFE RD ITS CASEAFTER A LAY NI TESTIFIHAT MICHAE COHEN TOLD HIM TRUMP DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT. STORMY DANIELS. NOW LAWYERS ARE PREPARING FOR A PRE CHARGE CONFERENCE THIS BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR CLOSING ARGUMENTS. >> ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER FAULDERS JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE MORE. KATHERINE, WHAT’S THE LATEST FROM COURT? WELL, LOOK, WE KNOW THAT THE COURT IS IN RECESS. THEY WILL COME BACK AROUND 215 TO HASH OUT HOW THE JURY OR JURY INSTRUCTIONS WILL LOOK LIKE AND HOW THE JURY WILL BE INSTRUCTED DELIBERATE ON THIS. SO THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW. THEY’RE A BREAK. THE JURY WON’T RETURN, OBVIOUSLY, TO THE COURTROOM TODAY. THEY’RE UNTIL NEXT WEEK, UNTIL TUESDAY, WHEN SUMMATIONS TOCUR.E MAY GO LITTLE LONG. HE SAYS THEY MAY WORK LATE. AND IF THEY CAN’T WORK LATE, MIGHT COME IN ON WEDNESDAY. SO AFTER THE JURY GETS THE CASE ,IT’S OFF TO THE RACES FOR THEM IN TERMS ORATINGWE OBVIOUSB IT’S REALLY IN THEIR HANDS AT THIS POINT. THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS, YOU COULD SEE THE JURY ISSUE. A NUMBER OF WHAT ARE CALLED NOTES, WHERE THEY COULD HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE JUDGE. THEY COULD FOR CLARIFICATION ON A CERTAIN DEFINITION FOR SOMETHING. WE COULD SEE THAT OCCUR. IT’S JUST UNCLEAR AT THIS POINT HOW LONG THIS WILL LAST. BUT OVERALL, ON THE TIMELINE OF THIS, THIS HAS THIS TRIAL HAS AT LEAST GONE BY MUCH FASTER THAN BOTH PARTIES ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT IT. >> BRIAN, WITH CLOSING ARGUMENTS COMING NEXT WEEK, THE DEFENSE HAS MADE A FEW DIFFERENT ARGUMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF TRIAL THROUGH THEIR QUESTIONING AND IN OPENING STATEMENTS. AND FORMER PRESIDENT COMMENTS TO THE CAMERAS OUTSIDE COURT, INCLUDING THAT THE WAY THAT THESE TRAS WERESTED WAS FIH LESINCL MP WAN TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM FINDING OUT ABOUT THE STORMY DANIELS STORY TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE CAMPAIGN. AND NOW WE ALSO HEARDTHIS LAST WITNESS THE ARGUMENT >> WHEOU EXPMDN’TT THEONEY PAY HO EXPECT PUT THEM INTO ALL OF THESE INTO ONE ARGUMENT FOR THESE CLOSING? >> SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, I START WITH IT’S NOT WHAT WE KNOW BECAUSE WE SEE THE COMMENTS THAT DONALD TRUMP MAKES WHEN HE’S OUTSIDE IN THE HALLWAYS, BUT THE JURY DOESN’T SEE THAT. SO I THINK TO DEGREE, YOU KIND OF BLOCK THAT OUT AND ONLY THINK ABOUT WHAT THE JURY SAW. JUE WITH BOB COSTELLO,R EXAMPLET RE THAT >> WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. WE READ THE TRANSCRIPT. THE JURY IS NOT GOING TO REALLY CONTEMPLATE EVEN IN QUESTIONING THE DEFENSE TO TRY TO GO AFTER THOSE FEES AND TALK ABOUT OTHER WORK THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS DOING, TRYING TO IMPLY IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THOSE FEES MAYBE WEREN’T REIMBURSEMENT FOR STORMY DANIELS. >> THEY WERE FOR THIS OTHER WORK THA WAS DOING. >>H. SO TO ANECAUSE I WHEFENSEG TO IS THOING TO HAVE TO NARROW THEIR ARO THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL. THAT’S WHAT THEY OPENED WITH WITH BOB COSTELLO. HIS TESTIMONY ALMOST MADE ME THINK LIKE, WERE YOU PLANNING ON HAVING HIM TESTIFY WHEN YOU DID OPENING STATEMENT? BECAUSE A LOT OF WHAT HE SAID I THINK, IS GOOD IN MANY REGARDS THAT DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW THIS THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS TELLING BOB COSTELLO THE TRUTH WHEN HE SAID THAT DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THESE PAYMENTS OR HOW THEY WERE OPERATING. BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT THEY OPENED WITH. AND SO FOR THEM TO TRY TO MEANDER OUT OF WHAT THEY OPENED WITH INTO BOB COSTELLO, BUT THEN ALSO ARGUE WHAT THEY OPENED WITH, I THINK THEY HAVE TO DROP ONE OF THOSE ARGUMENTS AND FOCUS CLEARLY ON ONE OR THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITH TENT O REASONABLE DOUBTROM HING. IF YOU, THAT’S A REASONABLE DOUBT. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE NOT AN AREA OF A CRIME, THAT’S REASONABLE DOUBT. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT MICHAEL COHEN IS NOT CREDIBLE, THAT’S REASONABLE DOUBT. BUT OFTENTIMES IN A JURY TRIAL LIKE THIS, GIVING ALTERNATIVE ARGUME THE DT ARE SOMHER ARE T L ANF YOU PRN WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THESE CLOSING ARGUMENTS TO TRY TO HAMMER THIS CASE HOME AND PROVE GUILT BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT? >> SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT ABOUT ORDER. AND AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, I HATE THE FACT THAT PROSECUTORS GET THE FINAL WORD THE PROSECUTION LITERALLY GETS TO SIT BACK AND SEE WHAT THEORY THE DEFENSE GOES WITH DRIVE HOME THEIR THEORY, WHICH THEY STARTED WITH AND WAS PRETTY CONSISTENT FROM THEIR OPENING STATEMENT, AND THEN KIND OF TAKE A SHOTGUN APPROACH. THIS IS WHY THIS BOB COSTELLO ARGUMENT IS WRONG. THIS IS WHY SAYING DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW WAS WRONG BASED ON HIS TWEETS AND THE INFORMATION CAME IN AND THEY JUST KIND OF GET TO CHERRY PICK THE ARGUMENTS THAT THEY FIND ARE WEAKEST FROM THE DEFENSE BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THEY GET THE LAST WORD BEFOREJUN BEGIN DELIBERATING NEXT WEEK CATHERINE. TRUMP HAS ALSO BEEN VERY VOCAL. THE JURY DOES NOT SEE HIS COMMENTS, BUT HE’S BEEN VERY VOCAL OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM, IN PART BECAUSE HE CAN’T BE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. SO WHAT IS THE TIMING NOW MEAN AS THEY GO INTO CLOSING ARGUMENTS AND DELIBERATION THAT HE IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE STUCK IN THIS COURTROOM? >> YEAH WELL, THE JUDGE SURELY WANTS TO WRAP THIS UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO I HAVE A FEELING THAT EVERYTHING THAT WILL OCCUR PRIOR TO THE JURY BEGINNING TO DE WILL BE RATHER QUICK. OF COURSE, IT JUST DEPENDS HOW LONG THE JURY DELIBERATE. ANURE TRU STAY IN FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE DELIBERATION. SO I’M NOT SURE SLOWS DOWN THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL SO MUCH OR HIS MOMENTUM. LOOK, HE HAS THAT CAMERA RIGHT THERE. HE CAN GO OUT AND TALK TO THAT CAMERA WHENEVER HE FEELS HE HAS HIS POLITICAL ALLIES. THEY’RE GOING OUT AND TALKING TO ALL THE CAMERAS OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE. SO YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT. AND HE HAS TUESDAY. HE SHOULD BE OUT OF THERE PRETTY SOON. AND HE HAS FROM NOW HE’S BACK ON TUESDAY. SO A WEEK TO BE OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND CAMPAIGNING. SO HE HAS DEFINITELY A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME RIGHT NOW. AND SURELY HE WILL BE BACK IN A WEEK. AND IT JUST DEPENDS HOW LONG DELIBERATIONS END UP LASTING. BUT HE IS EAGER TO GET BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AT THE SAME TIME, HE DOES VIEW THESE LEGAL ISSUES AS SOMETHING THAT IS GOOD FOR THE POLITICS OF IT ALL. >> KATHERINE FAULDERS BRIAN BUCKMIRE. >> THANK YOU BOTH. AND WE WILL BE COVERING TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL ALNG. >> WE’LL BRING YOU THE L RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

WE ASKED THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WHY THIS VIDEO WAS LEFT OR >> RACHEL SCOTT THANK YOU.UHEY D AND ABC’S DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR AVERI HARPER JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. >> ABBY, WHAT KIND OF A RESPONSE WAS THIS POST GETTING ? >> IT WAS UP ALL RIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD BACKLASH TO THIS POST AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS LEFT UP FOR MANY HOURS AFTER. IT STARTED GETTING THAT BACKLASH. I’LL YOU, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS SLAMMED INCIDENT. THEY CALL IT A PART OF A LONG HISTORY OF ANTI-SEMITIC BEHAVIOR BY THE FORMER PRESIDENT. AND THERE IS A PATTERN OF PRESIDENT TRUMP UTILIZING REFERENCES TO GERMANY AND ADOLF HITLER. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IT’S HEEN THA SIAW F PRESIDENT TRUM R TO HI L OPPONEVERMINALSO, HE REFERREDS AS POISONING THE BLOOD OF THIS COUNTRY. LIKE WE SAW IN THAT PIECE, HIS CAMPAIGN, THEY DID ISSUE A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS POST. THEY SAY IT’S NOT SOMET THAS CREATEDE CAGN. U HAVE TOERSTAND THAT, WHEN A CAMPAIGN REPOSTS ANOTHER PIECE OF CONTENT, BE IT A VIDEO OR A TWEET OR JUST A PICTURE THAT THAT’S WIDELY CONSIDERED ENDORSING THE CONTENTS OF THAT VIDEO. AND SO THAT HAS BEEN THE BACKLASH WE’VE SEEN ■THUS FAR. >> AVERY, TRUMP HAS BEEN VOCAL ABOUT HIS FOR ISRAEL. EYOND, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN’T CREATE THE IS THERE ANY EXPLANATION FOR WHY HE WOULD POST SOMETHING WITH TERMINOLOGY? >> LOOK, I’M NOT GOING TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE SENSE OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S POST. I CAN POINT YOU TO CAMPAIGN STATEMENT SAYING THAT A STAFFER THE WORD IS WHO WTED IDEO BUT IO THINK IALLY RTANT TO OK AS STATEMENT IN CONTEXT WITH THINGS THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS SAID AND DONE IN THE PAST. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS SOME DISCONNECT BETWEEN HIS POLICIES, RIGHT. ORT FORNJAM NETAND SOMESE THAT AID. >> SO WHN IMPACT COULD THIS HAVE ON THE CAMPAIGN? >> I DON’T NECESSARILY ANTICIPATE THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE CAMPAIGN PER SE. WE’VE SEEN SIMILAR INCIDENTS IN THE PAST WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHERE HE HAS SAID THESE THINGS AND IT HAS NOT SHAKEN HIS SUPPORT WITHIN THOSE WRE DIEHARD SUPPORTERS OF HIM. I DO THINK THAT WE CAN KEEP AN EYE ON. WE WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON HOW THIS IMPACTS VOTERS WHO ARE INDEPENDENT VOTERS WHO ARE MAYBE STILL DECIDING HOW THEY’RE GOING TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER. >> ALL RIGHT, HARPER, THANK YOU. >> AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS ISSUING ARNING AIFICIAINTELLIGTHE 2024 ELECTION. THE DEPARTMENT SAYS AI OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BAD TO UNDERMINE OUR DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. ABC NEWS CHIEF JUSTICE PIERRE THOMAS HAS THOSE DETAILS. >> HI, PIERRE.

NOW THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS WARNING THE AI WILL LIKELY BE USED US IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION. >> THIS ISN’T A THREAT OF TOMORROW. >> THIS IS A THREAT OF TODAY. ACCORDING TO THE NEW HOMELAND SECURITY BULLETIN, ENEMY COUNTRIES, TERRORISTS AND OTHER ADVERSARIES COULD EXPLOIT AI TOOLS TO CONFUSE OR OVERWHELM VOTERS AND ELECTION STAFF TO DISRUPT THEIR DUTIES DURING THE 2024 ELECTION CYCLE. FOR EXAMPLE, ACCORDING TE DHLETIN, ENE MIGHT AIR SHARE ALT, VIDEOS OR AUDIO CLIPS CLAIMING THAT A POLLING STATION IS CLOSED OR THAT POLLING TIMES HAVE CHANGED. >> THE BULLETIN POINTS TO THIS AUDIO. YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF VOTING DEMOCRATIC ON OUR VOTES COUNT. IT’S IMPORTANT THAT YOU SAVE YOUR VOTE FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, WHICH AUTHORITIES SUSPECT IS AN AIR GENERATED SOUNDING LIKE PRESIDENT BIDEN, WHICH URGED PEOPLE NOT TO VOTE IN THE LEAD UP TO THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY IN JANUARY. AND DHS OFFICIALS ALSO EXPRESSING CONCERN THAT AIR TECHNOLOGY MIGHT USED TO CREATE AND PUSH OUT DANGEROUS INFORMATION THAT COULD HELP EXTREME DESIGN VIOLENT ATTACKS. >> HOMELAND SECURITY AMERICA’S TELLING REPORTERS MONDAY THAT HE HAS DEEP CONCERNS THAT A.I. WILL BE USED TO PROMOTE HUGE AMOUNTS OF FALSE INFORMATION AS WE HEAD TO THE ELECTION. >> DIANE? CHIEF JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS, THANK YOU. >> WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.

YOU’RE STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE. I AM DEVASTATED. GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. COURT IS ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY. AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THE DEFENSE RESTE IE AF A FORMERR FOR RUD GIULIATIFIED MICEL. COHEN TOLD HIM TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS. NOW LAWYERS ARE PREPARING FOR A PRE-CHARGE CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR CLOSING ARGUMENTS NEXT WEEK. >> ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER FAULDERS JOINS ME NOW, ALONG WITH ATTORNEY ADAM SCHIFF AHEAD FOR MORE. KATHERINE, WHAT’S THE LATEST FROM COURT? WELL, WE KNOW THAT THEY’RE IN A RECESS. THE JURY HAS LEFT FOR THE DAY. THE JURY WILL BE BACK INSIDE THE COURTROOM UNTIL TUESDAY WHEN THEY WILL HEAR CLOSING ARGUMENTS, WHEN WE’LL HEAR SUMMATIONS. OF COURSE THEN THEY WILL JUST BE INSTRUCTED TO THEY WILL GET THE JURY INSTRUCTIONS AND THEN THEY WILL BEGIN DELIBERATING. NOW, WE KNOW THAT TRUMP, HIS LA WILL COME BACK TO THE COURTROOM AROUN 215 THIS AFTER THERILL BE A CONFERENCE HICH THE P WILL DEBATE HOW. THEY PLAN TO INSTRUCT THE JURY PRIOR TO THEIR DELIBERATIONS, BUT THAT’S AT LEAST WHAT WE CAN EXPECT AT THIS POINT. WE WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A HERE, A LONG WEEKEND, A LONG MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND OF QUIET. A COURT WILL RESUME, OF COURSE, A WEEK FROM TODAY. >> ADAM, THE DEFENSE WILL BE FIRST UP AND CLOSING ARGUMENTS . >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY’LL FOCUS ON? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, THE PROSECUTION HAS PUT FORTH SO MUCH EVIDENCE, BUT ARE PARTS OF THE PROSECUTION’S CASE THAT ONLY MICHAEL COHEN TESTIFIED TO. AND I BELIEVE THAT THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO FOCUS ON THOSE MOMENTS AND IN EFFECTIVE CLOSING ARGUMENT FROM THE DEFENSE, WILL REALLY FOCUS THOSE MOMENTS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY MAKE SURE THE JURY THINKS IF I CAN’T TRUST MICHAEL COHEN, I HAVE TO ACQUIT. AND WHAT ABOUT THE PROSECUTION? WELL, THE PROSECUTION REALLY NEEDS TO JUJITSU THE ENTIRE MOVE NEED TO MICHA COLLINS A WEAKNESSES INTO A STRENGTH. RIGHT. THIS IS THE PERSON DONALD TRUMP CHOSE TO CARRY OUT HIS CRIMES RIGHT. THIS IS THE PERSON THAT DONALD TRUMP BROUGHT INTO THE FOLD IN ORDER TO PAY OFF THIS ADULT FILM STAR. RIGHT. THIS IS THE THIS WAS DONALD TRUMP’S CHOICE. THEY DIDN’T CHOOSE MICHAEL COHEN. DONALD TRUMP DID. AND LOOK AT THE REST OF THE EVIDENCE. SORINE, AT STAKHERE F LEGALLY S CAMPAIGN? >> WELL, LEGALLY, SURELY, DEPENDING ON IF HE’S OR NOT, THERE’S A POTENTIAL FOR JAIL TIME HERE. SO OBVIOUSLY, HE’S CERTAINLY WORRIED ABOUT THAT. AT THE SAME TIME, THE LAWYERS, FRANKLY, WOULD VIEW IT AS A WIN IF THEY GET A HUNG JURY. SO, OF COURSE THEY’RE RELYING ON JUST ONE JUROR TO MAYBE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY HEARD THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL. SO OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOWLEGALLY, T AT STAKE POLITICALLY. A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD, IF YOU WILL, FROM SOURCES CLOSE TO TRUMP THAT I’M TALKING TO. ON THE ONE HAND, TRUMP VIEWS HIS LEGAL BATTLES AS HELPING HIM POLITICALLY. HE’S USING THAT CAMERA. HE HAS SURROGATES. THEY’RE OUT THERE. ALL OF HIS SURROGATES ARE OUT THERE TALKING TO THE MEDIA FOR . AT THE SAME TIME, I’M CURIOUS TO SEE IS IF TRUMP IS FOUND GUILTY, HOW DOES THAT RESONATE WITH HIS SUPPORTERS AND ESPECIALLY WITH HIS DONOR BASE? WE’VE SEEN SOME DONORS. WE’VE REPORTED THAT SOME DONORS HAVE PRIVATELY SAID F HE’S CONVICTED OF A CRIME, THEY’ FIY. AND F HE ISP CONVICTED OF A CRIME, HOW DOES THAT RESONATE WITH HIS SUPPORTERS? DOES IT HELP HIM AT TIMES THESE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE SEEMED TO HELP HIM. BUT IF IT DOES GO AND THAT HE IS CONVICTED, DOES THAT THEN TURN SOME OF HIS SUPPORTERS? WE DON’T KNOW. SO THAT WILL BE SOMETHING TO WATCH AS THIS TRIAL UNFOLDS. KATHERINE FAULDERS ADAM SHAW, THANK YOU. >> MEANWHILE, ONE PERSON IS DEAD AND MORE THAN 60 INJURED AFTER SEVERE TURBULENCE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. THE AIRLINE SAYS THAT PLANE WAS COMING. LONDON CARRYING 229 PASSENGERS AND CREW WHEN HAD TO BE DIVERTBANGKOK FN EMERY LANDING ABC NEONTRIBUTOR AORMER RINE CORR MORE ON THIS. STEVE, THIS FLIGHT REPORTEDLY HAD SEVERE TURBULENCE OVER THE INDIAN OCEAN AND THEN DESCENDED 6000 FEET IN A SPAN >> WDOES IT FIKE WHEN YOU’REN AIRE? >> NO, NOT I SHOULDN’T LAUGH, BUT IT’S VERY FUN. NOBODY LIKES TURBULENCE AND PILOTS LIKE TURBULENCE DAY AND. >> SO APPARENTLY THEY WERE COMING IN OVER THE INDIAN OCEAN OR THE ANDAMAN AND OVERALL, ACTUALLY OVER THE IRRAWADDY RIVER V ICH IS YANE ABOUT TO CRONTO THAILAND. >> AS KNOW, THIS IS A VERY TROPICAL AREA. IT’S IT GETS HOT IN THE DAYTIME. YOU HAVE THIS HEAT RISING OFF THE OFF OF THE LAND AND IT’S VERY WET AND SO YOU GET THESE BIG AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS, WHICH IS WHEN THIS. SOMETIMES THEY CREATE THESE BIG LINES AND MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR PILOTS AND THEY HAVE TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE WORST PAR, ORM. SO OF THESERMS SORT OF LIKE IN N AER ORA WATERFALL. >> AIR IS A FLUID SO IT’S TURBULENT. AND WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS THIS HOT RISING AIR CREATES TURBULENCE. SO THE AIR IS MOVING AROUND. IT GETS UP, IT CONDENSES GET THEE BIG RSTORMS. >> SO THERE IS AIR GOING UP AND T AND N PEOPLE THEY HITAN AIR POE DOING IS YOU’RE GOING INTO TURBULENCE WHERE THE AIR IS RAPIDLY GOING UP, GOING DOWN, AND THE AIRPLANE IS HAVING TO FLY THROUGH THAT. SO THAT’S WHAT WAS PRODUCED HERE. APPARENTLY, THE FASTEN SEAT BELT SIGN ON JUST PRIOR TO HITTING THIS TURBULENCE, WHICH WOULD SUGGEST THE PILOTS KNEW THEY WERE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH AN AREA OF OF VITY, AT THRSTORMS. AND SO TSAID QUICK, YOUR SEATBELT ON. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PEOPLE WHO WERE INJURED DID NOT GET THEIR SEATBELT ON IN TIME. >> NOW, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TRAVEL EVERY DAY AND TURBULENCE IS SOMETHING THAT’S PRETTY NORMAL TO ANTICIPATE ON A FLIGHT. >> SO WHAT N YOU D IF U’RE A TRA? BECAUSE YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THAT FASTEN SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU’RE IN THE BATHROOM OR YOU’RE UP GETTING SOMETHING OR YOU’RE TO GET YOUR TODDLER BUCKLED IN OR, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS HERE WHERE ITIER SAID DONE UST PUT YSEATBE SURE. AND ALUS ARE IN BETTER AND TRAVELERS AND WE’RE LIKE, OH, IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. IT’S A NICE, CLEAR DAY. SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TYPES OF TURBULENCE. ONE IS SORT OF CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE WHERE YOU HAVE THE JET STREAM, WHICH WE KNOW WEATHER AROUND THE WORLD. >> WHEN THOSE JET STREAMS COME TOGETHER, THEY CAN CREATE SEVERE TURBULENCE. BUT IN THIS CASE, AND IN MOST CASES, IT’S THERMAL ACTIVITY. IT’S – THUNDERSTORMS. IT HOT AIR RISING OFF THAT CONES TO THISS F INSTABIL AND ENCE. SO THAT’S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHEN THE PILOT AND THE CABIN CREW SAY PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON, IT MEANS PUT YOUR ON. >> SO I THINK THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR DEATHS OF PEOPLE INSIDE CABIE ABOUT >> S IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE KILLED BRBULENCE, NOT YOU HAVESEATBELT NOBODYVER EVEN HURT BY TURBULENCE. IF THEY HAD THEIR SEATBELT ON. AS A PILOT YOURSELF, HOW HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE SITUATIONS LIKE THIS? IS THERE A WAY AVOID TURBULENCE OR AT LEAST THIS KIND OF TURBULENCE IN THIS KIND OF TURBULENCE SHOWS UP ON RADAR ,CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE. >> WE TALKED ABOUT WHERE YOU HAVE THESE BIG RIVERS OF AIR COMING TOGETHER, NOT SHOW UP ON RADAR. >> SO THAT’S A LITTLE MORE INSIDIOUS BECAUSE YOU CAN BE, YOU KNOW, USING THE BATHROOM OR GETTING SOMETHING TO EAT AND BE CAUGHT UNAWARES. IN THIS CASE, THE LIGHT CAME ON. ONLY BECAUSE THEY SAWEATBELT THUNDERSTOE OF SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN FRONT OF THEM. THEY KNEW THEY HAD TO PENETRATE AT SOME POINT. AND SO THERE WAS AT LEAST SOME ADVANCE WARNING HERE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, SOME PEOPLE DIDN’T GET BUCKLED IN IN TIME. >> AND STEVE, THIS EVENT WILL GO UNDER INVESTIGATION. WHAT DO YOU WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING FOR AND LOOKING FOR >> YOU KNO MUCH WARNG EW ACTUALLVE THE FOLKS IN THE BACK? WAS THERE ENOUGH TIME? IT WAS MIDDLE OF THE DAY THE RADAR WAS PRESUMABLY WORKING. SO PERHAPS THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE TIME, MORE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK TO INCLUDE THE CABIN CREW TO BE TO GET BUCKLED IN, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT SOME OF THE CABIN THEMSELVES WERE HURT AS WELL. SO THEY DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT WAS COMING. >> SO JUST BE WAS THERE ENOUGH TIME? DID THEY GIVE ENOUGH? >> I THINK ONE THING THEY WERE WHERE PEOPLE GET CONCERNED IS WHAT ARE THEGS GOING TO GET RIPPED OFF IN TURBULENCE? YOU KNOW, WE ALL SEE THE WINGS OUT THERE FLAPPING. >> THEY’RE DESIGNED TO DO T SO THINK ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE INCIDENT THAT JUST HAPPENED WHERE YOU HAD ALL THESE PEOPLE INJURED. BUT THE AIRPLANE CAME O OF IT JUST FINE. SO I GUESS THE ONLY POSITIVE TO THINK ABOUT HERE IS UNDERSTAND JUST HOW STRONG THESE AIRPLANES ARE, HOW THEY’RE BUILT TO WITHSTAND THIS KIND OF TURBULENCE. AND THE ONLY TIME PEOPLE REALLY GET HURT IN TURBULENCE IS WHEN THEY DON’T BUCKLE THEIR SEATBELT. >> ALL RIGHT. THE PLANES ARE BUILT TO WITHSTAND IT. WE ARE NOT UNLESS WE HAVE OUR SEAT BUCKLE. STEVE GANYARD. THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS. AND PRESIDENT BIDEN IS REJECTING ALLEGATIONS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AS A PROSECUTOR SEEKS ARREST WARRANTS FOR THE ISRAE E R E AGAINSTANITY. BIDEN CALLS THE PROSECUTOR’S REQUEST OUTRAGEOUS, SAYING THE WAR IN GAZA NOT. AND THAT PROSECUTOR SAYS HE’S ALSO SEEKING ARREST FOR TOP HAMAS LEADERS. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. KAREN, PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU’S HANDLING OF THE WAR IN GAZA. SO HOW IS HE RECONCILING THAT WITH THIS RESPONSE NOW TO THE ICC SAYING THAT REQUEST IS OUTRAGEOUS? >> YEAH, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID YESTERDAY THAT THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. AND YES, IT’S TRUE THAT IN WEEKS THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE COME OUT MORE PUBLIC, MORE FORCEFULLY, SAYING THAT ISRAEL HAS TO TAKE MORE CONCERN AND CARE OVER CIVILIANS IN GAZA. THEY’VE ALSO BEEN PUSHING FOR A DIFFERENT PATH FORWARD THAN WHAT ISRAEL MIGHT BE PLANNING FOR A MAJOR OPERATION INTO RAFAH, WHERE THERE ARE ABOUT A MILLION CIVILIANS WHO’VE B TAKINGUGE THERE. BUT IN T OF WHAT THE I ANNOUNHEY COULDING ERDAY WITESE S WARRANTS THE PREST SAID IT OUTRAGEOUS. AND HE SAID YESTERDAY VERY BLUNTLY WHAT HAPPENING IS NOT. WE REJECT THAT. AGAIN, THE PRESIDENT SAYING THERE’S NO EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN WHAT HAMAS IS DOING AND WHAT ISRAEL IS DOING AS THEY CARRY EIR WAR IN GAZA. NOW, THE ADMINISION SAYSTHEY DOC JURISDICTION IN GAZA. AND THE HOUSE SPEAKER IS NOW SAYING CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING SANCTIONING THE ICC REGARDING THESE WARRANTS, SAYING THAT IF THE ICC IS ALLOWED TO THREATEN ISRAELI LEADERS, OUR LEADERS COULD BE NEXT. SO WHAT WHAT IS THAT THEY HAVE JURISDICTION HERE? AND WHAT COULDIONS LOOK THE UNED STATES ANDE ISRAEL ARE SAYING THE SAME THING, THAT THE ICC DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY HERE BECAUSE ISRAEL DID NOT SIGN ON TO THE COURT. IS A PARTY TO IT. SO THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE UNDER IT. NON TERMSSANCTIONS,THE WHITESE S THEYALKING TPITOL ABOUT WHAOULD. E THAT COULD BE AND WHAT SANCTIONS COULD EVEN LOOK LIKE. THERE WAS A REPUBLICAN CHIP ROY OF TEXAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHO INTRODUCED LEGISLATION COULD MOVE FORWARD ON SANCTIONS, ON THE ICC, ON THE COU AND I SHIP.T THERE’S BILL TEXTOF THAT. D GO FROM HERE. BUT, DIANE, ONE THING THAT THEY DID SAY IS THAT THEY WANT TO TRY TO INVESTIGATE OR THEY WOULD IMPOSE SANCTIONS BASED ON ANYBODY THAT WOULD TRY TO INVESTIGATE, ARREST, DETAIN OR PROSECUTE ANY PROTECTED PERSON OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS ALLIES. SO ANOTHER STRONG SHOW OF SUPPORT THERE FROM THE UNITED STATES AND THE ADMINISTRATIO >> S KAREN, WARE THE N STEPSACTUALLY G THESE RRANTS FORD IF THEY., AT HAPPE COULD BENJAMIN NETANYAHU BE TAKEN AWAY IN HANDCUFFS? YEAH, IT COULD TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THIS TO PLAY OUT RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE THREE JUDGES THAT WILL LOOK AT ALL OF THIS AND THEN DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO ISSUE THOSE ARRESTRANTS. HERE. REST WARRAS WOULD BE IN ANY NATION THAT IS PARTY TO THE COURT. NOW, THAT, OF COURSE, AS WE SAY ,IS NOT ISRAEL, BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T SIGN ON TO THIS. THAT’S ALSO NOT THE UNITED STATES, BUT IT IS COUNTRIES IN EUROPE. SO THAT IS WHERE THIS WOULD APPLY. AND AGAIN, THIS WOULD HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AS THESE JUDGES WOULD CONSIDER NEXT STEPS. AND PRESIDENT BIDEN IS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY FOR AN EVENT ON VETERANS HEALTH CARE. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HIM TODAY? THIS IS A PRETTY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION. THE PRESIDENT’S GOING TO SAY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 1 MILLION CLAIMS APPROVED FROM VETERANS FOR HEALTH CARE UNDER THE PACT ACT. THIS WAS BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO LAW IN 2000 TO TO GET BETTER CARE FOR VETERANS WHO HBEEN D TO TOXIURN PITS OTHER RDOUS MATLS WHILE THEY WERE SERVING IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN. THE ADMINISTRATION ALSO SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 5.4 MILLION SCREENINGS FOR VETERANS BEEN EXPOSED TO THIS KIND OF TOXIC CHEMICALS. NOW, THIS IS PERSONAL FOR OF CANCER AE SAYS’S BECAUSEHIS G IN IRAQ NEXT TO THOSE BURN TS. SO FOR HIM TO TALK ABOUT THAT TODAY, TALK ABOUT HIS SON, BEAU, WHILE HE’S WITH VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TODAY. ALL RIGHT. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS, THANK YOU. >> MEANWHILE, ANTIWAR PROTESTERS WERE JUST REMOVED FROM A SENATE HEARING AFTER INTERRUPTING TESTIMONY FROM SEY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN, CALLIIM A WAR CRIMINAL. SECRETARY BLINKEN IS THERE TO MAKE THE CASE FOR THE PRESIDENT’S $64 BILLION FOREIGN AFFAIRS BUDGET PROPOSAL . AND THIS ALL COMES AMID A DEEP DIVIDE IN THE COUNTRY OVER FUNDING FOR ISRAEL. >> ABC’S JAY O’BRIEN JOINS ME NOW ON CAPITOL HILL FOR MOR HERE.AH BLINKENAS JUST THAN A MINUTE FRANKLY DIANE INTO HIS REMARKS WHEN THE FIRST PROTESTER INTERRUPTED HIM. THAT PROTESTER SAID THAT HE WAS A QUOTE UNQUOTE BUTCHER AND THEN OTHER PROTESTERS SPRUNG OUT AND SAID, AS YOU NOTED, THEY CALLED HIM A WAR CRIMIN. PROTES MAYBE FOU THE HEARGS SEEMSVE CALMED DOWN SINCE THEN. AGAIN, THESE DEMONSTRATORS HAVE BEEN. THE CHAIR OF THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, BEN CARDIN, MADE THE POINT TO APOLOGIZE TO BLINKEN ABOUT THE INTERRUPTIONS BUT ALSO SAY THAT THESE DEMONSTRATE, AS YOU JUST NOTED ,THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THIS ISSUE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THEN SAID INSIDE THIS HEARING THIS MORNING, NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO AGREE ON DIFFERENT AVENUES OF THE ADMINISTRATION’S HANDLING OF THE ISRAEL-HAMAS. CERTAINLY, THERE ARE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS WHO THINK THAT THE ADMINISTRATION AND BLINKEN AND THE PRESIDENT HAVE LET THEM DOWN ON THIS ISSUE. >> NOW, BLINKS TESTIFYING BEFOWO SENATETTEES, FOREIGNIONS ITTEE. SUBCOMMIEE. ATER, ANOTHER WHY TWO HEARINGS? WHAT ARE THEY FOCUSING ON? SO THIS IS ABOUT BUDGET. IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU’VE GOT TO KICK INTO THE FALL. EVERY SINGLE CABINET SECRETARY TESTIFIES ABOUT THEIR BUDGET AND. BLINKEN’S GOT TWO DIFFERENT ONES. HE’S GOT THE OVERALL HEARING TO ENTIRE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE AND THEN A SMALLER HEARING LATER THIS AFTERNOON TO A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THAT SAME SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE. AS SAID EARLIER, HE’S GOING TO MAKE THE CASE FOR THE BUDGET. BUT YOU ALMOSTE TO KIND OF PUT THAT ASIDE AND TALK ABOUT THE NENVIRONMENT SO ANOTHER THING THAT BLINKEN IS MOST NOTABLY GOING TO BE ASKED ABOUT IS THE ADMINISTRATION’S DECISION TO PAUSE THE SHIPMENT OF SOME £2,000 BOMBS TO ISRAEL OVER CONCERNS THAT THOSE MASSIVE BOMBS COULD BE USED IN ISRAEL’S MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH, THAT CITY IN THE SOUTH OF GAZA, THAT’S HOME TO MORE THAN A MILLION REFUGEES. THERE ARE CERTAINLY REPUBLICANS, PARTICULARLY ON THAT COMEE, THAT’S MEETING LATER ON IN THE DAY. LIY GRAHAM,EF AMO THEMHAT ARE STAUNCHLY OPPOSED TO THAT DECISION. AND CAN EXPECT BLINKEN TO GET SOME POINTED QUESTIONS ON, THAT DECISION MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATION, JAKE. >> THIS ALSO COMES AFTER A PROSECUTOR HERE AT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT REQUESTED ARREST WARRANTS FOR THE LEADER OF HAMAS AND ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU OVER ALLEGED WAR CRIMES. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS REJECTED THAT MOVE. SO DO YOU THINK WE’LL SEE BLINKEN TALK ABOUT THAT AT THE HEARINGS AT ALL. CTUALLY ALREADYT . >> AND THAAS ONENT THP DEMOCRATHAT COMMITTEE, THE TOP REPUBLICAN ON THAT COMMITTEE AND ANTHONY BLINKEN ALL TOGETHER SAID IN VARIOUS WAYS THEY, REJECT THE ACCUSATIONS MADE BY THE ICC . THEY SAID IT WAS A FALSE EQUIVALENCY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO COMPARE ISRAEL, THE LEADER OF HAMAS, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN TWO ARREST WARRANTS REQUESTED, AS KAREN NOTED EARLIER. ONE FOR YAHYA SINWAUR, THE LEADER OF HAMAS, AND THE OTHER FOR BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. AGAIN, THE U.S. HAS REJECTED THOSE. IT CALLED OUTRAGEOUS. THE PRESIDENT HAS. AND BLINKEN ECHOED WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID AND DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS BOTH AGREEING WITH HIM. A RARE POINT OF BEING AGREEMENT . ND BLINKS ALSO TO TESTIFY BEFOREOUSE RROW. CAN WE ET FROM T HEARINGS? >>AN EXPECT HIM TO GET SOME POINTED QUESTIONS IN FRONT OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS. REMEMBER, IN THE SENATE, THIS COMMITTEE IS CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE THE COMMITTEE IS CONTROLLED BY REPUBLICANS. SO PARTICULARLY ON THAT QUESTION OF TH PAUSING OF THOSE £2, BOM AND POLE THREATSOF WITHHOL OTHEY ASSISTANCE FROM THE U.S. TO ISRAEL, SOMETHINGTHE ADMINISS TELEGRAPHED THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DO DEPENDING UPON THIS OPERATION IN RAFAH, YOU CAN EXPECT HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO SEIZE ON THAT TOPIC AND GIVE SOME POINTED QUESTIONS TO THE SECRETARY JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL. >> JAY THANK YOU.

CHECK OUT THE GATOR ON THE 17 YEAR OLD A BUZZKILL IN BASEBALL FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AMERICA THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT? HI, I’M DAVID SAITO. LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY COURT ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY IN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HISTORIC CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THFENSE HASD ITS CAS AFTER A FORMER LAWYEOR RUDYGIULD KNOW ABOUTHE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS. NOW LAWYERS ARE PREPARING FOR A PRE CHARGED CONFERENCE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR CLOSING ARGUMENTS. ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE. KATHERINE, WHAT’S THE LATEST COURT? WELL, LOOK, WE KNOW THAT THE COURT IS IN RECESS. THEY COME BACK AROUND 215 TO HASH OUT HOW THE JURY OR JURY INSTRUCTIONS WILL LOOK LIKE AND HOW THE JURY WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO DELIBERATE ON THIS. SO THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW. THEY’RE IN A BREAK. THE JURY WON’T RETURN, OBVIOUSLY, TO THE COURTROOM TODAY. THEY’RE DONE UNTIL NEXT WEEK, UNTIL TUESDAY, WHEN SUMMATIONS ARCCUR. NOW,ESDAY, IS MAY GO A LITTLE LONG. HE SAYS THEY MAY WORK LATE. AND IF THEY CAN’T WORK LATE, THEY MIGHT COME IN ON WEDNESDAY. SO AFTER THE JURY GETS THE CASE IT’S OFF TO THE RACES FOR THEM IN TERMS OF DELIBERATING. WE OBVIOUSLY KNOW HOW LONG THEY WILL DELIBERATE. IT’S REALLY IN THEIRDS ATS POINT. YOU COULE THE JURUES A NUMBER OF WHAT ARE CALLED NOTES, WHERE THEY COULD HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE JUDGE. THEY COULD ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON A CERTAIN DEFINITION FOR SOMETHING. WE COULD SEE THAT OCCUR. IT’S JUST UNCLEAR AT THIS POINT HOW LONG THIS WILL LAST. BUT OVERALL, ON THE TIMELINE OF THIS THIS HAS THIS TRIAL HAS AT LEAST GONE BY MUCH FASTER THAN BOTH PARTIES ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BRI WITH CLOSING ARGUMENING NEXT WEEK. THE DEFEN MADE AEW DIFFERENT ARGUMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THIS TRIAL THROUGH THEIR QUESTIONING AND IN OPENING STATEMENTS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S COMMENTS TO THE CAMERAS OUTSIDE COURT, INCLUDING THAT THE WAY THAT THESE TRANSACTIONS WERE LISTED WAS, , THAT THEY WERE LEGAL FEES, INCLUDING PEOPLE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE STORMY DANIELS STORY TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE CAMPAIGN. AND NOW WE ALSO HEARD WITH THIS LAST WITNESS THE ARGUMENT MADE THAT TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENT ALM TO HOW EXPECT TT THEMTO ALL OFSE O ONE ARGUMENT FOR THESE CLOSING? >> SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, I START WITH IT’S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT WE KNOW BECAUSE WE SEE THE COMMENTS THAT DONALD TRUMP MAKES WHEN HE’S OUTSIDE IN THE HALLWAYS. BUT THE JURY DOESN’T SEE THAT. SO I THINK TO SOME DEGREE KIND OF BLOCK THAT OUT AND ONLY THINK ABOUT WHAT THE JURY SAW JUST LIKE WITH BOB COSTELLO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE JURY DIDN’T REALLY SEE THAT OUTBURST. WE ALL KNOT HAPPENED WE REA TRANSCRIP THE JUOT GOING TO CONTEMPLATE EVEN IN QUESTIONING THE DEFENSE DID TRY TO GO AFTER THOSE FEES AND TALK ABOUT OTHER THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS DOING, TRYING TO IMPLY IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THOSE FEES MAYBE WEREN’T REIMBURSEMENT FOR STORMY DANIELS. >> THEY WERE FOR THIS OTHER WORK THAT COHEN WAS DOING. >> YES. TO ANSWER, BECAUSE I THINK TO NTHEIR ARGUNT TO ISTODO IS ‘E NOT ILLEGAL. THAT’S WHAT THEY OPENED WITH WITH BOB COSTELLO. >> HIS TESTIMONY ALMOST MADE ME THINK LIKE, WERE YOU PLANNING ON HAVING HIM TESTIFY WHEN YOU DID OPENING STATEMENT? BECAUSE A LOT OF WHAT HE SAID, I THINK IS GOOD IN MANY REGARDS THAT DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW THIS, THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS TELLING BOB COSTELLO THE TRUTH WHEN HE THAT DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THESE PAYMENTS OR HOW THEY WERE OPERATING. BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT THEY OPENED WITH. AND SO FOR THEM TO TRY TO MEANDER OUT OF WHAT THEY OPENED WITH INTO BOB COSTELLO, BUT THEN ALSO ARGUE WHAT THEY OPENED, I THINK THEY HAVE TO DROP ONE OF THOSE ARGUMENTS AND FOCUS CLEARLY ON OR THEY’RE G TO HAVE TO GO WITH THE ARGUMENT OF, WELL, REASONABLE DOUBT CAN COMEH SO IOU BELIEVE COSTELLO,THAT’S . IF YOU THAT THESE ARE NOT AN AREA OF A CRIME, THAT’S REASONABLE DOUBT. IF BELIEVE THAT MICHAEL COHEN IS NOT CREDIBLE, THAT’S REASONABLE DOUBT. BUT OFTENTIMES IN A JURY TRIAL LIKE THIS, GIVING ALTERNATIVE THEORIES THAT ARE SO DISTINCT FROM OTHERN’T TOST L ARGUMENTOR THE NSE. WHAT ARE YOU D IN THESECLOSING Y TO HAMMER THIS CASE HOME AND PROVE GUILT BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT? >> SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT ABOUT AND AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, I HATE THE FACT THAT PROSECUTORS GET THE FINAL WORD. THE LITERALLY GETS TO SIT BACK AND SEE WHAT THEORY THE DEFENSE GOES WITH, DRIVE HOME THEIR THEORY, WHICH THEY STARTED WITH AND WAS PRETTY CONSISTENT, THEIR OPENING STATEMENT AND THEN KIND OF TAKE A SHOTGUN APPROACH OF THIS IS WHY THIS BOB COSTELLO ARGUMENT IS WRONG. THIS IS WHY SAYING DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T WAS WRONG BASED ON HIS TWEETS AND THE INFORMATION CAME IN AND THEY JUST GOT TO TO CHERRY PICK THE ARGUMENTS THAT THEY FIND ARE WEAKEST THE DEFENSE, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THEY GET THE LAST WORD BEFORE THE JURY GETS THE CHARGES AND THEN BEGIN DELIBERATING NEXT WEEK.>> CATHEO BEEN VERY VOCAL. THE JURY DOES NOT SEE HIS COMMENTS, BUT HE’S BEEN VOCAL OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM IN PART BECAUSE HE CAN’T BE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. SO WHAT IS THE TIMING NOW MEAN AS THEY GO INTO CLOSING ARGUMENTS AND DELIBERATION THAT HE IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE STUCK IN THIS COURTROOM? >> YEAH, WELL, TGE SUREL WANTWRAP THISP AS SOONAS POSSIBL SOE A FNG THAT EVERYTHING THAT WILL OCCUR PRIOR TO THE JURY BEGINNING TO WILL BE RATHER QUICK. OF COURSE, IT JUST DEPENDS HOW LONG THE JURY DELIBERATE. AND I’M SURE TRUMP WILL STAY IN THAT COURTHOUSE FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE DELIBERATIONS. SO I’M NOT SURE IT SLOWS DOWN THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL SO MUCH OR HIS MOMENTUM. LOOK, HE HAS THAT CAMERA RIGHT THERE. HE CAN GO OUT AND TALK TO THAT CAMERA WHENEVER HE FEELS LIKE. HE HAS HIS POLITICAL ALLIES. THEY’RE GOING OUT AND TALKING TO ALL THE CAMERAS OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE. SO YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT. AND HE HAS IT’S — IT’S TUESDAY. HE SHOULD BE OUT OF THERE PRETTY SOON. AND HE HAS FROM UNTIL HE’S BACK SO AK TO BE OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND CAMPAIGNING. SO HE HAS DEFINITELY A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME RIGHT NOW. AND SURELY HE WILL BE BACK IN A WEEK. AND IT JUST DEPENDS HOW LONG DELIBERATIONS END UP LASTING. BUT HE IS EAGER TO GET BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AT THE SAME TIME, HE DOES THESE LEGAL ISSUES AS SOMETHING THAT IS FOR THE POLITICS OF IT ALL. >> KATHERINE FAULDERS BRIAN BUCKMIRE. >> THANK YOU BOTH. AND WE WILL BE COVERING TRUMP’S CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL DAY LONG. >> WE’NG YOU THEEST HERE ON ABEWS LIVE >> AND FR PREP IS UNDER FIRE AFOSTING AND DELETING VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT USED LANGUAGE FROM NAZI GERMANY.

WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE WAS THIS POST GETTING WHEN IT WAS UP ALL. THERE HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD BACKLASH TO THIS POST AND YOU KNOW IT WAS LEFT UP FOR MANY HOURS AFTER IT STARTED THAT BACKLASH. I’LL TELL YOU, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS SLAMMED THE INCIDENT. THEY CALL IT A PART OF A LONG HISTORY OF ANTI-SEMITIC BEHAVIOR BY THE FORMER PRESIDENT. AND THERE IS A PATTERN. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP UTILIZING REFERENCES TO GERMANY AND ADOLF HITLER. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER SINCE WE FORMERPRESIDENT TRUMP S POCAL OPPONES VERMIN. ALSO, HE REFERRED TO IMMIGRANTS AS POISONING THE BLOOD OF COUNTRY LIKE WE SAW IN THAT PIECE, HIS CAMPAIGN. THEY DID ISSUE A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS POST. THEY SAY IT’S NOT SOMETHING THAT WATED BY CAMP, BUT YOUTO UNDEND THAT WHEN A CAMN REPOSTS ANOTHER PIECE OF CONTENT, BE IT A VIDEO OR A TWEET, OR JUST A PICTURE THAT THAT’S WIDELY CONSIDERED ENDORSING CONTENTS OF THAT VIDEO. AND SO THAT HAS BEEN THE BACKLASH THAT WE’VE SEEN THUS. AVERY, TRUMP HAS BEEN VOCAL ABOUT HIS SUPPORT F SO BEYOND, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN’T CREATE THE VIDEO IS THERE ANY EXPLANATION FOR WHY HE WOULD POST SOMETHING WITH TERMINOLOGY? LOOK, I’M NOT GOING TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE SENSE OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S POST. I CAN POINT YOU TO THE CAMPAIGN STATEMENT SAYING THAT A STAFFER WHO CLEARLID NEE THE WOWHO RTED VIDEO.BUT IO THIY H STATEMENT IN CONTEXT WITH THINGS THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS SAID AND DONE IN THE PAST. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS SOME DISCONNECT BETWEEN HIS POLICIES HIS SUPPOR BENJAMI THAT HE HAS SAID.THESE >> SO WHAT KIND OF AN IMPACT COULD THIS HAVE ON THE CAMPAIGN? >> I DON’T NECESSARILY THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE CAMPAIGN SE. WE’VE SEEN SIMILAR INCIDENTS IN THE PAST WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHERE HE HAS SAID THESE THINGS AND IT HAS NOT SHAKEN HIS SUPPORT WITHIN THOSE WHO ARE A DIE HARD SUPPORTERS OM.

IT’S USING HER VOICE FOR A NEW AIR ASSISTANT WITHOUT PERMISSION, OVERREACH OR OVERBLOWN. WELL, INVESTIGATE. HI EVERYBODY. I’M KAYNA WHITWORTH SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US TODAY. OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR, DONALD TRUMP’S DEFENSE RESTING THEIR CASE ON THE UNPRECEDENTED HUSH MONEY TRIAL AGAINST. THE FORMER PRESIDENT. TODAY ENDED WEEKS OF TESTIMONY WITH. S LAWYERS QUESTIONINGR SEC, MICHAEL COHEN’S TIME L >> AND ITY TOOK MOM FOROSS-EXAM. THE PROSECUTION SPARRING WITH COSTELLO OVER HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH RUDY GIULIANI BEFORE CONFRONTING THE FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR WITH HIS OWN EMAILS, INCLUDING ONE WHERE HE CALLS COHEN, QUOTING HERE AN. NOW, THE JUDGE DISMISSING THE JURY FOR A LONG MEMORIAL WEEKEND BREAK WITH CLOSING ARGUMENTS SET NOW FOR A WEEK FROM TODAY. SO LEADING US OFF IS OUR ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT WHO’S LIVE FOR US OUTSIDE COURT ALONG WITH LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL BRIAN BUCKLER. GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE WITH US TODAY. AARON, LET’S START HERE WITH YOU. LOOK, THE PROSECUTION AND THE DEFENSE WILL RETHE COURTROOMEREJUST ANUR OR SHISHA >> AARON, WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM THAT? THIS IS WHERE THE LAWYERS WORK OUT WITH THE JUDGE HOW HE’S GOING TO INSTRUCT THE JURY ON THE LAW AND HOW THE JURY SHOULD INTERPRET THE LAW, THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY’VE HEARD IN SUPPORT OF IT. AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE WAY THE CASE IS CHARGED AS A FELONY FALSIFICATION BUS RECORDS. PROSS HAVE SA THATR PRESIDENT TRUMP DECIDED TO FALSIFY RECORDSIN ORR CONCEAL ANOTHER CRIME. >> BUT HERE’S THE KEY. PROSECUTORS DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE TO SPELL OUT OR PROVE WHAT THAT OTHER CRIME WAS. IT COULD BE A TAX CRIME. IT COULD BE AN ELECTION RELATED CRIME. THEY’VE SORT OF RAISED THE PROSPECT OF BOTH. AND SO THERE ARE NUANCES THAT THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO WANT TO ARGUE WITH THEPROSEC AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY DGE WILL DECIDE HOW TO INSTRUCT THE JURY COME PROBABLY WEDNESDAY OF NEXT, BECAUSE CLOSING ARGUMENTS, HE SUGGESTED, COULD TAKE ALL DAY A, WEEK FROM TODAY. >> ALL RIGHT, ERIN, THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND BRIAN. BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD HERE AND WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, DO YOU THINK THAT THEY HAVE REACHED THE BURDEN OF PROOF HERE IN TERMS OF PROSECUTORS? >> IT ONLY TAKES ONE JUROR, RIGHT? YES. SO I’M GOING TO PREFACE MY ANSWER AND AGAIN, EXPLAIN ITS MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONG, YES. IS WAYOOK AT IT. HAS THE PCUTION PLED FORMATION AD FIND DONALD TRUMP GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE. ABSOLUTELY. HOWEVER, I DO THINK THAT THERE ARE PIECES EVIDENCE THAT COULD GIVE AN INDIVIDUAL A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF DOUBT, AN HONEST OUT, AN ACTUAL DOUBT, NOT AN IMAGINARY ONE. THIS IS HOW NEW YORK STATE DEFINES REASONABLE DOUBT, WHERE YOU COULD LOOK AT THE TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL COHEN, FIND THAT THE LACK OF CREDIBILITY IN THIS WITNESS AND CREDIBILITY POTENTIALLY IN BOB COSTELLO COULD LEAVE A REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL TO A NOT GUILTY. AND SO WHILE I THINK THE ELEMENTS ARE THERE FOR THE PROSECUTION. I ALSO THINK THAT IT’S BIT OF AN EVEN OR SOMEWHAT EVEN ARGUMENT FOR THE DEFENSE, DEPENDING OAT THE PUSH THR. THO SEEM TO TWO OR I THINK THEY JUST HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP A LITTLE ON SUMMATION, A LITTLE BIT ON SUMMATION. >> AND SO, ERIN, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME HERE. >> YOU MENTIONED THE JURY IS EXCUSED UNTIL AFTER THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY. WHAT A THE RHAT THEYED TO Y AND? . >> THEY DO.THEY H WEEK IN. THE JUDGE EXPRESSED SOME CONCERN ABOUT THAT, BUT HE ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT TOO MUCH TIME LAPSING BETWEEN THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS AND THE JURY CHARGE AND THEN THE DELIBERATIONS BEGINNING. SO HE OPTED JUST BECAUSE OF THE CALENDAR AND THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THE JURY WAS AT THE OUTSET THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THE REST OF THIS WEEK OFF SO THAT HE TOLD THE JURY BEFORE THEY THEY WERE EXCUSED THE WEEK NOT TO TALK ABOUT THE CASE, NOT TO RESEARCH THE CASE. DON’T GO VISIT ANY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CASE. AND EFFECTIVELY, IF THEY ARE HEARING CONVERSATIONS, THEIR MEMORIAL DAY BARBECUE ABOULD TRUMP AND THEY’RED TO WAY. TALL ORD SUR AND IT IS A POPULAR CONVERSATION TOPIC BECAUSE IT’S PROMINENT IN THE NEWS. BUT THE JUDGE IMPLORED THE JURY TO KEEP THEIR EARS AWAY FROM IT SO THAT THEY ARE ONLY MAKING ON E . AND AN POI, SO THEY CAN BE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES HOW THEY REALLY FEEL ABOUT IT. BUT, BRIAN, LOOK, LOOK, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE REMARKS THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING OUTSIDE OF COURT. EVEN THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S SON FOLLOWED IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM CALLING INTO QUESTION THE CREDIBILITY OF MICHAEL COHEN. LET’S TAKE A LISTEN HERE. >> HIS SITNESS IN THIS CASE IS A, WHAT,INE TIMES CONVIC. AND THEOW IN ADMITTED. THAT IS WHO THEY’RE HANGING THE ENTIRE CASE ON THE OTHER ONE WHO HAPPENS TO BE A STAR, MATT. EXACTLY. NOT EXACTLY THE ULTIMATE FORM OF JURISPRUDENCE HERE,T THATYOUH D BRIAE’VE HEAARGUMEEEVEN BEFORE THIS STARTED, RIGHT, QUESTIONING MICHAEL COHEN’S CREDIBILITY. WE HAVE HEARD TIME AND TIME AGAIN, BRIAN, PEOPLE SAYING WE’VE KNOWN HE’S A LIAR AND NOW HE HAS SAID HE’S A THIEF AS WELL. HOW DOES THAT IMPACT JUR BERATIONS?DO YOU THIT IMPACTSTH TH JURY TO GO BACK AND SEE? OKAYHAEL COHEN’S A LIAR AND NOW WE KNOW HE’S A THIEF. BUT THE I THINK, LAID OUT A PRETTY GOOD CASE OF HIS TESTIMONY BEING MICHAEL COHEN, ALONG WITH CORROBORATION. AND SO THE JURY WILL HAVE TO BACK AND SAY, OKAY, MICHAEL COHEN SAID X AND THE PROSECUTION. WHY? AS CORROBORATION. AND THROUGH EACH ONE OF THOSE STATEMENTS, ESPECARETERIAL CASE, SAY MATERIAL SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE FOR THE DEFENSE, A LOT OF THE LIES THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS IN HAD TO DO WITH THINGS THAT AREN’T DIRECTLY ATTACHED TO THIS ACTUAL CASE, LYING ABOUT THE REIMBURSEMENTABOUTCH A SCHE DEFEALLY TOUCHED MUCH ON THAT, BUT A MORE COLLATERAL ISSUES. AND SO I THINK THIS MAKES FOR MUCH MORE DIFFICULT DELIBERATION FOR THE JURY, BUT NOT AN IMPOSSIBLE ONE TO TAKE A LIAR WHO IS MICHAEL COHEN AND TRY TO SEE IF HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH IN THIS CASE. WE SEE IT IN OTHER CASES, JAILHOUSE SNITCHES, CO-DEFENDANTS KIND OF TELLING ON EACH OTHER WE HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS. IT’S NOT UNUSUAL, IS RARE, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE PROSECUTION TO PULL OUT A VICTORY HERE. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, THE DAYS ARE NUMBERED HERE. WE WILL FIND OUT ENOUGH AARON KATERSKY AND BRIAN BUCKMIRE. OUR THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR BEING WITH US HERE TODAY. >> COMING UP NEXT ON ABC NEWS LIVE, SEVERE TURBULENCE LEAVES ONE PERSON DEAD, DOZENS MORE INJURED.

THE TURBULENCE WAS SO BAD THAT ONE PERSON WAS KILLED. AT LEAST 70 OTHERS WERE HURT. THE FLIGHT WAS FROM LONDON TO SINGAPORE AND IT WAS ROUGHLY 90 MINUTES FROM LANDING. IT HIT THIS SEVERE AND IT WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING THERE IN BANGKOK. ONE PASSENGER CAN BE SEEN THERE BEING CARRIED OUT OF THE AIRPLANE THERE ON A STRETCHER. THERE’S ACTUALLY BLOODSTAINS, SOME OF THE SEATS. AND REALLY WHAT THAT DOES IS IT SHOWS YOU HOW INTENSE THAT SITUATION REALLY WAS. OUR PATRICK REEVELL HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STORY FOR AND IS JOINING US NOW WITH MORE. SO, PATRICK, CLEARLY TERRIFYING. DO WE KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE? BECAUSE THERE’S DIFFERENT KINDS OF TURBULENCE, SOME SHOWS UP ON RADAR. >> SOME DOESN’T. I CAN’T YEAH.

AS YOU SAY, WE’VE SEEN SOME OF THE PICTURES OF PASSENGERS ON BOARD HAVE DESCRIBED BASICALLY SEEING PEOPLE BEING THE CEF THEO HARD INTO, THAS ENOSMASHME OF TS UP THERE, SEEN IMAGES AFTERWARDS OF OXYGEN MASKS HANGING DOWN, DEBRIS ON THE GROUND. YOU SAY EVEN BLOODSTAINS. AND THE PLANE WAS FORCED THEN TO DIVERT TO BANGKOK IN THAILAND, WHERE PEOPLE, AS YOU SAW, WERE BEING MEDIVACED OFF THE PLANE. DOZENS OF PASSENGERS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL THERE.

WE ONLY KNOW FROM THE HOSPITAL IN BANGKOK THAT ARE AMERICANS AROUND PEOPLE WHO HOSI THERE. >> SIX PEOPLE ARE SAID TO BE IN A CRITICAL CONDITION TO THE HOSPITAL, WHICH AGAIN, TELLS YOU HOW SEVERE THIS INCIDENT TURBULENCE WAS. I MEAN, IT’S VERY RARE TO HEAR ABOUT THESE SORTS OF INJURIES AN S ALL WW E CONF THOSEOPLE.NGAPORESNT A FTF THE PASSENGERS, AROUND 100 PASSENGERS HAVE CONTINUED ON THEIR WAY TO SINGAPORE.

THEY SEE IT AS A POLITICIZED THING. >> WELL, IN WASHINGTON TODAY, SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN SAYS THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS READY TO WORK WITH CONGRESS ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS TO RESPOND TO THIS DECISION. IN THE MEANTIME, SITUATION IN GAZA IS GETTING MORE DIRE BY THE DAY. FOOD DISTRIBUTION. THE SOUTHERN CITYH IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. AND LET’S START FIRST NOW WIYAHU’S REACTION TO THESE ARRESTS, WARRANTSAT MO YES, SOME VERY STRONG WORDS FROM THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER, NETANYAHU, WHO SAID THAT VICTORY CAN ONLY COME WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF HAMAS. AND ON THAT REQUEST FROM THAT ICC PROSECUTOR FOR AN ARREST WARRANT. PRIME MIER HAD TO . AE >> THIS GUY IS OUT TO DEMONIZE ISRAEL. HE’S DOING A GOOD JOB. HE’S CREATING A FALSE SYMMETRY BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND THE TERRORIST CHIEFTAINS. THAT’S LIKE SAYING AFTER 911. >> WELL, I’M ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FOR GEORGE BUSH, BUT ALSO FOR BIN LADEN OR AFTER IN WORLD WAR TWO. WELL, ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FDR, BUT ALSO FOR HITLER. IT’S A HIT A HIT JOB THAT’S. WHAT THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER CALLED THE REQUEST AN ARREST WARRANT FOR HIM, AS WELL AS HAMAS LEADERS, INCLUDINGHYA U AND I HAVE TO SAY, TEACTIONOM PS BEEN ONE OF OUTRAGE. THEY’RE ASKING HOW CAN THERE BE A COMPARISON BETWEEN SINWAR AND A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER THAT THE THAT THEY COMPARE THEM SIDE BY SIDE? THOSE IMAGES THAT WENT AROUND THE WORLD HAS CAUSED A LOT OF ANGER HERE? >> ABSOLUTELY. AS ONE OF OUR ANALYSTS HAS POINTED OUT, YAHYA SINWAUR KNOWN AS THE BUTCHER OF KHAN YUNIS FOR KILLING PALESTINIANS IN EVEN BEFORE THIS ALL STARTED. SO WE UNDERSTAND THE OUTRAGE THERE. WHAT IS NEXT, THOUGH, FOR NETANYAHU I MEAN, CAN HE ACTUALLY FACE CHARGES? THE ICC DOESN’T HAVE JURISDICTION EVERYWHERE. >> YES, THAT’S THE BIG QUESTION . WILL THOSE 123 MEMBER STATES BE INVOLVED IN EXTRADITING HIM? WILL THERE BE RESTRICTIONS ON WHERE NETANYAHU CAN GO? THERE WILL BE A PANEL OF THREE JUDGES WHO WILL THEN DECIDE WHETHER THIS CASE WILL PROCEED ,WHETHER THEY WILL ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT FOR NETANYAHU AS LONG A AS THEER OFFICIALS INSIDAEL ANDOSE HAM L. BUT CERTAINLY SOME SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AND ONE THAT’S IGNITED A HUGE RESPONSE FROM, AS WE HEARD, NETANYAHU. BUT AS WELL AS PEOPLE INSIDE ISRAEL TO. >> AND ALSO, BRITT, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SOME NEW REPORTING ABOUT EVACUATIONS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE HEAVY FIGHTING AT A HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN GAZA. WHAT IS THE LATEST THERE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING WE KNOW THAT NORTHERN PART GAZA IS A PLACE THAT THE IDF HAS CLEARED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAMAS >> YES,HE GAZA RUNLTH RY HASAT T ARE PAT WHO HAVE BEEN HO BEEN EVACUATED UNDER FIRE. THEY SAY THAT THIS INCLUDES BABIES IN INCUBATORS, REALLY STRESSING THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN UNDER INTENSE BOMBARDMENT AS THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LET OUT IN. AND THEY SAID THAT THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE ISSUE WITH UNDER FIRE BY THE IDF. BUT WHAT WE’VE SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN IS HOSPITALS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE BETWEEN HAMAS AND IDF. THE IDF SAYS THAT HAMAS IS USING THEM AS SHIELDS AND THAT THE IDF IS TARGETING THESE HOSPITALS. ALL RIGHT, BRITT CLENNETT FROM >> ALSO TO A FORMER FOR, BEING . PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP POSTED AND THEN DELETED A VIDEO ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT USE LANGUAGE THAT MIRRORS GERMANY, SUGGESTING THAT THERE WILL BE A UNIFIED IF HE WINS 2024 EL THRDS UNIFI APPEAR AS P THIS HYPOTHETI NEWS ADLINE U HYPOAL IN 2024. THE NARRATOR IN THIS VIDEO ASKING WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DONALD TRUMP? AFTER DONALD TRUMP’S? A SOPHOMORE. I WANT TO BRING IN OUR DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR, AVERI HARPER, FOR THIS. AVERY, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE WITH US. AND LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. I MEAN, IT WAS UP FOR MORE 18 HOURS ON TRUMP’S ACCOUNT. WHAT DOES HIS CAMPAIGN HAVE TO SAY FOR IT? >> WELL, THE CAMPAIGN HAS NOT RESPONDED TO OUR QUESTIONS OF WHY THIS VIDEO WAS KEPT UP FOR SO LONG. BUT THEY DID ISSUE A STATEMENT RESPONDING TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS POSTED, THE BACKLASH THEY GOT FOR THE FACT THAT IT WAS POSTED. THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN VIDEO. IT CREATED BY A RANDOMACCOUNTIN. THLSO RESPO I WAS A CAMP STAFFER A FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HIMSELF, WHO WE POSTED THIS. BUT I THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN A SOCIAL MEDIA POST IS REPOSTED, THAT IT’S OFTEN IND AS ANMENT OF THE CONTEF THATAND ALSO S THNG LOOIN THE CONTEXT THINGS THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID IN THE PAST. HE DOES HAVE A HISTORY OF INVOKING RHETORIC THAT IS REMINISCENT OF GERMANY. YOU HAVE TO ALSO REMEMBER THAT IT WASN’T TOO LONG AGO THAT H WORDS THAT ECHOED HITLER TALKING ABOUT IMMIGRANTS BEING OR POISONING THE BLOOD OUR COUNTRY. AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S HIGH IN FOLKS MINDS AS. THEY LOOK AT THAT INSTAGRAM OR THAT SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS. >> CERTAINLY. AND AVERY, IS PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS CAMPAIGN REACTING AT ALL TO THIS? >> THEY ARE SLAMMING THOSE COMMENTS. THEY SAY THAT THIS IS A PART OF A LONG HISTORY OF WHAT THEY REFER TO AS ANTI-SEMITIC BEHAVIOR BY. FORMSIDENT TRUMP. AND IS SOMETHIN THAT T GOING TINUE TO P INCIDENTS LIKE THIS AS THEY TRY TO DRAW A CONTRAST BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR VOTERS IN NOVEMBER.

SEVERAL MORE STATES ARE ON HIGH ALERT AGAIN TODAY. STORM WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST TOMORROW. YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE MAP. ALSO, ONE OF THE FIVE AMERICAN TOURISTS DETAINED IN TURKS AND CAICOS FOR CARRYING AMMUNITION IN HIS LUGGAGE COULD LEARN HIS FATE TODAY WHEN RICK SAYS HE MISTAKENLY CARRIED TWO ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION THROUGH SCREENING AND HE’S NOW FACING A MINIMUM PRISON SENTENCE OF 12 YEARS. U.S. LAWMAKERS ACTUALLY TRAVELED TO THE AREA ASKING FOR LENIENCY. THREE OTHER TOURISTS ARE ALSO NOW WAITING FOR A DECIS FROM THE COUR AND COULD BE SECED AS SOON AS FRIDAY. >> ALTHOUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES ARE TELLING ABC NEWS THAT INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING INTO MATTHEW PERRY’S DEATH AND THEY’RE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE SOURCE THE DRUGS THAT KILLED HIM. THE FRIENDS ACTOR WHO STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTION DIED FROM ACUTE EFFECTS OF KETAMINE USE LAST FALL AT HIS HOME IN LOS ANGELES . SOURCES SAY DETECTIVES HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWING PEOPLE ABOUT THE DRUGS. BUT IT’S STILL NOT CLEAR HOW OR WHERE HE GOT THEM. NO. >> HAVE BEEN MADE IN THAT CASE ACTRES SCARLETOHANSSON SPEAKING OUT AFTER THE TOP A.I. COMPANY IN THE COUNTRY ANNOUNCED WOULD STOP USING A VOICE ON ITS NEWEST VERSION OF CHATGPT THAT SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE ACTRESS. IN A STATEMENT, JOHANSSON SAID ENTIRE SITUATION LEFT HER SHOCKED, ANGERED AND IN DISBELIEF. LET’S A LISTEN TOGETHER TO THIS VOICE IN QUESTION. >> HEY, CHATTAHOOCHEE, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I’M DOING FANTASTIC. THANKS FOR ASKING. >> OKAY. SO THERE HEARD IT. EMMANUELLE SALIBA AND ELIZABETH SCHULZE ARE JOINING ME NOW FOR MORE. THAT’S JUST SORT OF A LITTLE SNIPPET OF IT, RIGHT? EMMANUEL, IS THIS IS ACTUALLY HER VOICE. >> IT’S NOT RIGHT. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW HERE? WELL, WE KNOW THANKS TO THE ACTRESS WHO RELEASED A STATEMENT, SHE SAYS THAT OPENAI I APPROACHED HER MONTHS AGO ABOUT USING HER VOICE ON A NEW FEATURE THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE CALLED VOICE, WHICH ALLOWS A SIN ALEXAAFTE SOME THOUGHT, SE SAID SHE REFUSED THAT OFFER AND THEY APPROACHED HER AGAIN JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE RELEASE. SHE DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO RESPOND AND IN THE STATEMENT SHE SAYS SHE WAS SURPRISED WHEN SHE HEARD THE AND HER EVEN HER FAMILIES AND FRIENDS COULDN’T TELL. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HER VOICE AND THE VOICE OF THEIR SON, AS CHATGPT CALLED SKYE. RIGHT. AND HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE CALLING HER, THINKING THAT IT’S HER AND ELIZABETH. >> I MEAN, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WORRIED A LOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT A.I.. YOU, I’M SURE REMEMBER IT WAS A MAJOR STICKING POINT OUT HERE IN HOLLYWOOD WIT ST WH THIS F THE T, THEREOFIS ? EXACTLY WHAT A LOT OF THOSE STRIKES WERE ABOUT. >> AND IT WASN’T JUST FROM THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. IT WAS FROM THE PRODUCERS, THE WRITERS. THIS FEAR THAT INTELLIGENCE WOULD BE USED TO REPLACE THT ALSOIT WOULDSED TO PLEMEN BY A MACHINE OR WHAT’S DONE BY AN ALGORITHM, WHAT’S DONE BY TECHNOLOGY. INTERESTINGLY, THE UNION ACTUALLY THAT WAS BEHIND THE STRIKE CAME OUT AND SAID THEY SUPPORT OPENAI AI TAKING DOWN THIS VOICE. I MEAN, I THINK ONE OF WHAT ISAT ST TO KATE OPE I AND S ACTUALLY INTERVIEWED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FOR THIS JOB. SO WHAT THIS REALLY UNDERSCORES IS THE LACK OF CLARITY, THE LACK OF GUARDRAILS ABOUT. WHAT IS THE STANDARD FOR A SITUATION LIKE THIS? WE’RE SEEING COMPANIES CELL, POLICE THEMSELVES, COMPANIES COME OUT AND SAY THEY’RE DOING WHAT’S RIGHT BASED ON THEIR OWN STANDARDS WHEN THERE ISN’T REALLY A STANDARD THAT THEY SHOULD ALL BE ABIDINGY ATTHE SA >>HT.E’S NOARBE O TOO FAR THIS POINT, AS EVERYONE IS NAVIGATING A.I. AND MANUAL, AS IF THAT VOICE CLIP WASN’T ENOUGH, RIGHT? OPENAI SAM ALTMAN. HE TWEETED JUST THE ONE WORD HER RECENTLY. AND SO FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE PAYING ATTENTION, THAT OF JOHANNSO ACTUALLY THIS A.I.ME NE VOICE ASSISTANT, IT’S MY IT WAS ALSO SAM ALTMAN’S FAVORITE MOVIE, RIGHT. >> AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON DID MENTION THAT IN HER LETTER ABOUT HOW SURPRISING THAT WAS BUT OPENAI SAYS THAT IS HER VOICE. THAT’S THE VOICE OF ANOTHER VOICE ACTRESS, ANOTHSS THE I SAIDERVIEWED HUNDREDS OF VOICE ACTORS AND WORKED WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. BUT AGAIN, JUST AS WE’VE BEEN SAYING, THIS JUST ILLUSTRATES THE LACK OF GUARDRAILS AND THE NEED FOR A FEDERAL LEGISLATION WHICH SCARLETT JOHANSSON MENTHER LETTER. YO, THIS O THEMEH ARTISTCTORS, MUSICIANS, ARTISTS THE NEED TO PROTECT THEIR TALENTS, WHETHER THAT BE THEIR VOICE, THEIR DIGITAL LIKENESS, THEIR ART. AND SO WE’RE JUST A GROWTH IN CALLS FOR FEDERAL LEGISLATIONOULDCT THEAND THEI SOIKEY SAID THEY INTERVIEWED SOME OVER 400 SUBMISSIONS AND SELECTED FIVE DIFFERENT VOICES HERE. BUT STILL A STUNNING MOMENT THERE FOR SCARLETT JOHANSSON. ELIZABETH, OF COURSE, THIS ALL COMES AS WE’RE LEARNING THE U.S. IS FORMING THIS GLOBAL AIR SAFETY NETWORK WITH KEY INTERNATIONAL ALLIES AS WELL. >> WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN? RIGHT. SO THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY BY THE COMMERCE SECRETARY, GINA RAIMONDO, ESSENTIALLY, E U.S.TS TO PARTNER WITH OTHERONOMIES, CE . A LOT OF THIS IS THE U.S. GOING TO ITS ALLIES AND SAYING HOW, CAN WE TRY TO WORK TOGETHER WITHIN THE EXISTING FRAMEWORK OF THE LAW TO, TRY TO THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO RULESOL R THERE IS THE THREAT POSED GOVERNM ESPE WHEN YOU THINK OF CHINA, WE’VE ALSO SEEN A PUSH IN CONGRESS TO INVEST IN LEGISLATION THAT COULD COMBAT SOME OF CHINA’S INVESTMENTS IN A.I. TO CONNECT . >> ALL RIGHT. THAT IS SO INTERESTING. ELIZABETH EMANUEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US TODAY. WE APPRECIATE IT.

HE RAN A TRAFFICKING BUSINESS FROM HERE, NOT THE FIRST AFFLUENT, WEALTHY MAN WHO’VE BEEN UNFAIRLY ATTACKED. YOU THINK HE YOU? >> THEY NEVER MEANT FOR ANY OF THIS TO BE A PROBLEM. SO WHAT DOES IT SAY THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG GOIUND HERE. ANATE INTO MEN SPHERE NOW STREG ON HULUONIGHT AS THIS CRI TRIAL WIN DOWN WHO WILL TESTIFY NEXT. PLUS TRACKING THE SEVERE WEATHER JUST AHEAD OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND GETAWAY. MORE AMERICANS TURN TO WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR. THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST, TELEVISION, WHAT YOU GET TO WATCH? >> WHERE CAN I GET A GREAT DEAL? AND WHAT JUST DYING TO BUY. OH, IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE, "GMA LIFE" ING WEEKENDS ON ABC NS . >> HI EVERYONE. I’M KAYNA WHITWORTH SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US. OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR, DONALD TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM RESTING THEIR CASE IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED HUSH MONEY TRIAL AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT. TODAY ENDED WEEKS OF TESTIMONY WITH TRUMP’S LAWYERS QUESTIONING THEIR SECOND AND FINAL WITNESS, MICHAEL COHEN’S ONE TIME LAWYER, BOB COSTELLO. NOW, THE JUDGE NOW DISMISSING THE JURY FOR A LONG MEMORIAL WEEKEND BREAK. A CHARGING CONFERENCE IS SET TO HAPPEN IN JUST ABOUT A HALF HOUR HERE WITH CLOSING ARGUMENTS SET FOR A WEEK FROM TODAY. SO I WANT TO BRING IN SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS, JOINED BY LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIALRNEY BRIIRE. D TO BOTH SO, C,T ARE EX TO HAPPEN HERE? >> AND LIKE I MENTIONED ABOUT THE NEXT 30 MINUTES, YEAH, SO THIS WILL BE A HEARING WHERE THE JURY OBVIOUSLY WON’T BE PRESENT. THIS WE’LL HEAR FROM LAWYERS FOR TRUMP AND THE PROSECUTORS. IT WILL ESSENTIALLY BE DEBATES OVER HOW TO INSTRUCT THE JURY BE THEIOUSLY ATTENDA, THIS HEARING. A PROCEDURAL THING, IF YOU WILL. AND THEN, OF COURSE, AFTER THIS THEY ARE OFF FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. THEY FACT ACTUALLY A WHOLE WEEK. SO NEXT TUESDAY THE PARTIES WILL COME BACK. THEY WILL GIVE THEIR CLOSING STATEMENTS AND THEN IT WILL GO OVER TO THE JURY. THE JURY WILL DELIBERATE AND THEN IT’S IN THEIR HANDS. NOW WE HAVE TO SEE HOW LONG THEY DELIBERATE FOR. BUT THAT WILL BE WEEK FROM TODAY, A WEEK FROM TODAY. >> AND SO, BRIAN IS THIS ARE THEY GOING TO BE TALKING TO THE THEY WON’T BE TALKING EXACTLY TO JURY, BUT WHAT WILL THE LOBBYING BE LIKE BETWEEN THE DEFENSE AND, THE PROSECUTION, BEFORE THEY PRESENT ALL OF THESE JURY INSTRUCTIONS AND THINGS LIKE. INTERESTINGLY MOSTOPLE CANY LOOS THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO A JURY YOU CAN JUST GOOGLE CGI, NYS, AS IN NEW YORK STATE AND IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THERE ARE MODEL EXAMPLES OF HOW TO TEST SOMEONE’S CREDIBILITY. WC FOR THE SC FALSIFICATION IN THE FIRST WHAT YOUO WITH INTERESTED WITNESSES, HOW YOU EVALUATE PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT, AND WHAT BOTH SIDES WILL BE DOING IS TAKING CASE LAW AS WELL AS THE THEORY THAT THEY HAVE FOR THE CASE AND TRYING TO FORM THE LANGUAGE THAT THE JUDGE WILL ULTIMATELY PRESENT TO THE JURY AS TO HOW DESCRIBE HOW TO EVALUATE CERTAINCE HOW TOTERMINER OR NTHD THEIR BURDEN OF PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. AND WHILE IT CAN BE EXTREMELY TEDIOUS AND SOMEWHAT ARDUOUS AT TIMES, ENSURING THAT EVEN RIGHT COMMA IS USED OR THE RIGHT AND OR SHALLRST CAN BG PRETRIRENCE. T.AND EE BOTHINDAT >> YEAH, CLEARLY THOSE DETAILS ARE VITAL AND NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED. ALSO, CATHERINE, TO YOU, AS THIS HAS ALL BEEN PLAYING OUT IN NEW YORK, SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK AS CLEARLY BEEN BUSY AS WELL. IT SOUND THERE’S A NEW DET, ACCO THESEWLY U DOCUMEN IN, THE SPECIAL COUNSEL’S CASE. THIS, OF COURSE, IS TRUMP’S FEDERAL CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. AND WHAT ARE YOU HEARING? MIGHT THERE BE ADDITIONAL OBSTRUCTION THAT THEY’RE ALLEGING? RIGHT. SO MUCH OF THE EVIDENCE IN DISCOVERY IN THIS CASE WILL FRANKLY NEVER BE MADE, MOST LIKELY, BECAUSE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THAT THIS WON’T GO TO TRIAL B SO WHAPECIAL AT LEAST IS, IS REVEALING IN THESE NEWLY UNSEALED FILINGS AND SHOULD NOTE THAT TRUMP ACTUALLY REQUESTED THAT THESE BE UNSEALED. THEY DETAIL ADDITIONAL EFFORTS OF OBSTRUCTION. AND IT’S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE IS THIS WHOLE QUESTION ABOUT HOW DID REMAINING IN TRAGE RNDOCUMENTS GET BAC SEARC STORAGE ROOM ON AUGUST. THIS IS TWO MONTHS AFTER TRUMP’S LAWYER HIMSELF THROUGH THAT STORAGE ROOM EVERY BOX AND SAID TO THE GOVERNMENT IS NO MORE DOCUMENTS LEFT. WELL, TWO MONTHS LATER, THERE WERE MORE DOCUMENTS. SO THE SPECIAL COUNSEL HAS THIS HAS THIS THEORY AND THESE NEWLY UNSEALED PAPERS THAT TRUMP ACTUALLY DIRECTED HIS AIDES GO BACK DOWN, GO AND ESSENTIALLY AVOID SECURITY CAMERAS THAT WOULD HAVE DETECTED THAT PREVIOUSLY DETECTED THEM TO GET CLASSIFIED INFORMATION BACK INTO THAT STORAGE ROOM. NOW, IT’S UNCLEAR WHY THE SPECIAL COUNSEL HASN’T BROUGHT THAT UP UNTIL IT HAS BEEN REVEALED IN THESE THESE NEWLY UNSEALED FILINGS. BUT SURELY THEY HAVE EVIDENCE T, RIGHTFULLY SO, RIGHT, THAT THIS IS BECAUSE TRUMP THESE ARE FILINGS FROM HIM AS HE’S TRYING TO GET THIS ALL DISMISSED. AND SO THAT’S PART OF THE REASON WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THIS NOW. >> AND BRIAN, BACK TO YOU. SO CLEARLY, THAT IS NOT GOING TO GO TO TRIAL BEFORE THER ELECTION. O OF COAS AND SO THE JURY ISN’T GOING TO BE BACK IN THAT COURTROOM FOR ANOTHER WEEK. THEY’RE GOING TO GO THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. AND AARON KATERSKY SAID, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE HAS SAID YOU NEED TO OUT OF ANY BARBECUE CONVERSATION WHERE THE TRUMP TRIAL COMES UP, HOW DO THEY ENFORCE THESE RULES WITH THE JURY? >> IN MANY WAYS, KATE, AND IT COMES DOWN TO SELF-REPORTING. IF A JUROR IS IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY WALK PAST THE TV SCREEN, THEY MAY HEAR SOME REPORTING. THEY TURN THE RADIO. SOMEONE TO YOUR POINT, AT THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND PARADE OR KIND OF CELEBRATION MAKES COMMENTS ON IT. THERE ARE EXPECTED TO SELF-REPORT TO TELL THE COURT, AND THEN THE COURT WILL EVALUATE IT WITH BOTH PARTIE DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION, WHETHER OR NOT IS AN INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL VIOLATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT AFFECTS THEIR DELIBERATION. BUT ALSO OTHER PEOPLE CAN REPORT IF YOU’RE AT A PARTY WITH A JUROR AND YOU HEAR THEM HEAR SOMETHING, THAT CAN HAPPEN AS WELL. BUT IT’S REALLY ABOUT THE HONOR CODE, IF YOU THINK OF IT, THE HONOR CODE CERTAINLY. ALL RIGHT. BY BRIAN BUTLER AND KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANK YOU SO FOR BEING WITH US TODAY. WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOU.

WE ONLY KNOW FROM THE HOSPITALIO AMERICANS AMONG AROUND 70 PEOPLE WHO ARE HOSPITALIZED THERE. SIX PEOPLE ARE SAID TO BE IN A CRITICAL CONDITION, ACCORDING THE HOSPITAL, WHICH AGAIN, TELLS YOU HOW SEVERE THIS INCIDENT OF TURBULENCE WAS. I MEAN, IT’S VERY RARE TO HEAR ABOUT THESE SORTS OF INJURIES. AND THAT FAR ALL WW THE CONDI OF THOSEPEOPLE.SINGAPA AI TO PICK UP SOME OF THE PASSENGERS. >> AROUND A HUNDRED PASSENGERS HAVE CONTINUED ON THEIR WAY TO SINGAPORE. BUT OBVIOUSLY STILL LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED AND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE INJURED IN THIS CASE OF. RIGHT, PAT REEVELL,THANK YOU UC. RECIATE T ALSO PRESIDENT LASHING O AT THEERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AFTER ITS TOP PROSECUTO SOUGHT ARREST WARRANTS FOR TOP ISRAELI OFFICIALS, INCLUDING BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. NOW, THE COURT’S CHIEF PROSECUTOR SAYS THAT LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND HAMAS, INCLUDING THE PRIME MINISTER, COMMITTED WAR CRIMES IN GAZA. NETANYAHU REACT TO THE NEWS THIS MORNING ON "GMA". >> I THINK THAT THE PROSECUTOR SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS STATUS BECAUSE HE’S REALLY TURNING THE ICC INTO A PARIAH INSTITUTION. PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. >> THEY SEE IT AS A POLITICIZED THING. >> WELL, IN WASHINGTON TODAY, SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY SAYS THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS READY TO WORK WITH CONGRESS TO THISION.ISANRESPOND HE MEAE, THE SITUATION GAZA IS GETTING MORE DIRE BY THE DAY. FOOD DISTRIBUTION IN THE SOUTHERN CITY OF RAFAH IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED. LAND CROSSINGS REMAIN CLOSED FROM AID COMING FROM THE NEW U.S. BUILT PORT IS THAT’S FLOWING VERY SLOWLY AT THIS TIME. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT JOINING US NOW FROM TEL AVIV. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. AND LET’S START FIRST NOW WITH NETANYAHU’S REACTION TO THESE ARREST WARRANTS. >> WHAT MORE. >> IS HE SAYING? YES, SOME VERY STRONG WORDS FROM THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU, WHO SAID THAT VICTORY CAN ONLY COME WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF HAMAS. AND ON THAT REQUEST FROM THAT ICC PROSECUTOR FOR AN ARREST WARRANT, THIS IS WHAT THE ISRAELI MINISTER HAD TO SAY. >> THIS GUY IS TO DEMONIZE ISRAEL. HE’S DOING A GOOD JOB. HE’S CREATING A FALSE SYMMETRY BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS OF ISRAEL THAT’S L SAYING AFTER 911,HE TEN WELL, I’M ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FOR GEORGE BUSH, ALSO FOR BIN LADEN OR AFTER IN WORLD WAR TWO. WELL, I’M ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FDR, BUT ALSO FOR HITLER. >> IT’S A HIT JOB. A HIT JOB. THAT’S WHAT THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER CALLED THE REQUEST FOR AN ARREST WARRANT FOR HIM AS WELL AS HAMAS LEADERS, INCLUDING YAHYA SINWAUR. AND I HAVE TO SAY, REACTION FROM PEOPLE INSIDE ISRAEL HAS BEEN ONE OF OUTRAGE. THEY’RE ASKING HOW CAN THERE BE A COMPARISON BETWEEN SINWAR AND A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER THAT THE THAT THEY THEM SIDE BY SIDE, THOSE IMAGES THAT WENT AROUND THE WORLD HAS CAUSED A LOT OF ANGER HERE. ABSOLUTE LATELY, AS ONE OF OUR ANALYSTS HAS POINTED OUT, BRITT YAHYA SINWAUR, KNOWN AS THE BUTCHER OF KHAN YOUNIS FOR KILLING PALESTINIANS. AND EVEN BEFORE THIS ALL STARTED. SO WE UNDERSTAND THE OUTRAGE THERE. WHAT IS NEXT, THOUGH, FOR NETANYAHU MEAN? CAN HE ACTUALLY FACE CHARGES? THE ICC DOESN’T HAVE JURISDICTION EVERYWHERE. YEAH. SO THAT’S THE BIG HERE. WILL THOSE 123 MEMBER STATES BE INED IN EXTRING HIM?WILL THERER? THEREL BE A PANEL OF THREE JUDGES WHO WILL THEN DECIDE WHETHER THIS CASE WILL WHETHER THEY WILL ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT FOR? NETANYAHU AS LONG AS WELL AS THE OTHER OFFICIALS INSIDE ISRAEL AND THOSE HAMAS LEADERS. CERTAINLYSERIOUSALLEGATION AND A IGNITE HUGE RESPO FROM, E HEARD,E ISRAEL TO AND ALSO, BRET, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SOME NEW REPORTING ABOUT EVACUATIONS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE HEAVY FIGHTING AT A HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN GAZA. WHAT IS THE LATEST THERE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING WE KNOW THAT NORTHERN PART OF GAZA IS A PLACE THAT THE IDF HAS CLEARED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAMAS MILITANTS CONTINUE TO RETURN? YES, THE GAZA RUN HEALTH MINISTRY HAS SAID THAT THERE ARE AROUND 150 PATIENTS WHO HAVE BEEN HAVING TO BEEN EVACUATED UNDER FIRE. THEY SAY THAT THIS INCLUDES BABIES AND REALLY STRESSING THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVEER INTENSE BRDMENT AS HAN TRYING, LET OUT IN SAFETY. AND THEY SAY THAT THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE WITH HOSPITALS UNDER FIRE BY THE IDF. BUT WHAT WE’VE SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN IS HOSPITALS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE BETWEEN HAMAS AND THE IDF. THE IDF SAYS TMAS SINGIELDS ANDT THE IDF ISTING THESE HOSPITALS. >> ALL RIGHT. BROOKE BRITTLENNETT FROM TEL AVIV, YOU FOR BEING WITH US HERE TODAY. >> ALSO NOW TO FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP POSTED AND THEN DELETED A ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT USE LANGUAGE THAT MIRRORS NAZI GERMANY, SUGGESTING THAT THERE WILL BE A UNIFIEDHE .

I WANT TO BRING IN OUR DEPUTYLIF THIS.>> AVERY, YOU FORBEING HER. LOOK AT THEO. I MEAN, IT WAS UP N 18 HOURS ON TRUMP’S ACCOUNT. WHAT DOES HIS CAMPAIGN HAVE TO SAY FOR IT? >> WELL, THE CAMPAIGN HAS NOT RESPONDED TO OUR QUESTIONS WHY THIS VIDEO WAS KEPT UP FOR SO LONG. BUT THEY DID ISSUE A SMENT TO THE FACT TIT WAS P CKLASH THET THAT IT WAS POSTED. THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN VIDEO. IT WAS CREATED BY A RANDOM ACCOUNT ONLINE. THEY RESPONDED THAT IT WAS A CAMPAIGN STAFFER AND NOT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO POSTED THIS. BUT I THINK IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN A SOCIAL MEDIA POST IS REPOSTED, IT’S OFTEN INTERPREAS AN ENDNT CONTENTS OF THAT POST.AND THS M THAT’S BEING LOOKED AT IN CONTEXT OF THINGS THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID IN THE PAST. HE DOES HAVE A HISTORY OF INVOKING RHETORIC THAT IS REMINISCENT OF GERMANY. YOU HAVE TO ALSO REMEMBERTHAT IG HITLERKING ABOUTRANTS ING OR POID OF OUR COUNTRY. AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S HIGH IN FOLKS MINDS AS THEY LOOK AT THAT INSTAGRAM OR THAT SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, CERTAINLY. >> AND AVERY, AS PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS CAMPAIGN AT ALL TO THIS, THEY ARE SLAMMING THOSE COMMENTS. THEY SAY THAT THIS IS PART OF A LONG HISTORY OF WHAT THEY REFER TO AS ANTI-SEMITIC BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO POINT TO INCIDENTS LIKE THIS AS THEY TRY TO DRAW A CONTRAST BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR VOTERS IN NOVEMBER.

OTHER TOUS ARE ALS NOW WAI A DECISION FROM THE COURTS AND ONE COULD BE SENTENCED AS SOON AS FRIDAY. >> ALSO, LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES ARE TELLING ABC NEWS THAT INVESTIGATORS LOOKING INTO MATTHEW PERRY’S DEATH AND THEY’RE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN THE SOURCE OF THE DRUGS THAT KILLED HIM. THE FRIENDS ACTOR WHO STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTION DIED FROM ACUTE EFFECTS OF KETAMINE USE LAST FALL AT HIS HOME IN LOS ANGELES. SOURCES SAY DETECTIVES HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWING PEOPLE, THE DRUGS, BUT IT’S STILL NOT CLEAR HOW OR WHERE HE GOT THEM . >> NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN THAT CASE. ALL RIGHT. ACTRESS SCARLETT JOHANSS IS SG OUT AFTHE TOP COMPANY IE Y ANNOUNCED IT WOULD STOP USING A VOICE ON ITS NEWEST VERSION OF CHATGPT. THAT SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE ACTRESS IN A STATEMENT JOHANSEN SAID THE ENTIRE SITUATION LEFT HERCKED, >>’S TAKETEN TOGETHERIEF. TO TOICE IN TION. >> HEY, CHATTY BETTY, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I’M DOING FANTASTIC. THANKS FOR ASKING. >> OKAY, SO THERE YOU IT. EMMANUELLE SALIBA AND ELIZABETH SCHULZE ARE JOINING ME NOW FOR MORE. THAT’S SORT OF A LITTLE SNIPPET OF IT, RIGHT? EMMANUEL, IS THIS IT’S ACTUALLY HER VOICE. >> IT’S NOT RIGHT. WHORE DO WEW HERE? WELL, WHAT WE KNOW THANKS TO THE ACTRESS WHO RELEASED A STATEMENT, SHE SAYS THAT, OPENAI. I APPROACHED HER MONTHS AGO ABOUT USING HER VOICE ON A NEW FEATURE THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE CALLED VOICEMAIL, WHICH ALLOWS USERS TO INTERACT WITH CHATGPT MUCHY THAT THEY WOUN . AF SOME THOU SAIE REFUSED THFFER AND THE APPROACHED HER AGAIN JUST DAYS BEFORE THE RELEASE. SHE DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO RESPOND. AND IN THE STATEMENT, SHE SAYS SHE WAS SURPRISED WHEN SHE HEARD THE VOICE AND HER. HER FAM AND FRIENDS BETWEEN VOICE ANDOICENC HEIR SON OT CALLED SKYE. RIGHT. AND HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE CALLING HER, THINKING THAT IT’S HER AND ELIZABETH, TOO. >> I MEAN, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WORRIED A LOT OF PEOPLE. A.I. YOU, I’M SURE REMEMBER IT WAS A MAJOR STICKING POINT OUT HERE IN HOLLYWOOD WITH THOSE STRIKES. WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR THE TRUST OR THE LACK THEREOF IN THIS INDUSTRY? >> IT IS EXACTLY WHAT A LOT OF THOSE STRIKES WERE ABOUT. >> IT WASN’T JUST FROM THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES, IT WAS FROM THE PRODUCERS, THE WRITERS. THIS FEAR THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WOULD BE USED TO REPLACE THEIR JOBS. BUT ALSO, THAT IT WOULD BE USED TO THEN SUPPLEMENT IN A WAYTHATW WHAT’S REAL AND WHAONE BY A M OR WHAT’ONE ALGORITHM,T’S DONEBY TECHNOL. INTERESTINGLY, THE UNION ACTUALLY THAT WAS BEHIND THE STRIKE CAME OUT, SAID THEY SUPPORT OPENAI AI TAKING DOWN THIS VOICE. I MEAN, I THINK ONE OF WHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT THIS STORY TO KATE AS THAT OPENING, I CAME OUT AND SAID IT ACTUALLY INTERVIEWED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FOR THIS JOB. SO WHAT THIS REALLY UNDERSCORES IS THE LACK OF CLARITY THE LACK OF GUARDRAILS ABOUT WHAT IS THE STANDARD A SITUATION LIKE THIS. WE’RE SEEING COMPANIES SELF-POLICE THEMSELVES. COMPANIES COME OUT AND SAY THEY WERE DOING WHAT’S RIGHT BASED ON THEIR OWN STANDARDS WHEN THERE ISN’T REALLY A STANDARD THAT THEY SHOULD ALL BE ABIDING BY. AT THE SAME TIME. >> RIGHT. THERE’S NO BAR TO BE MET OR TO FAL BELOW AT THIS POINT AS EVERYONE IS NAVIGATING. I AND EMMANUEL AS IF THAT VOICE CLIP WASN’T ENOUGH, RIGHT? OPENAI CHIEF SAM, HE TWEETED JUST THE ONE WORD HER RECENTLY . AND SO FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE PAYING ATTENTION, THAT OF COURSE IS A REFERENCE RIGHT?A ME JOHANNSON ACTUALLY PLAYED THIS A.I. VOICE ASSISTANT. IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING, WAS ALSO SAM ALTMAN’S FAVORITE MOVIE, RIGHT? >> AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON DID MENTION THAT IN HER LETTER ABOUT HOW SURPRISE THING THAT WAS. BUT OPENAI SAYS THAT IS NOT HER VOICE, THE VOICE OF ANOTHER VOICE ACTRESS, ANOTHER ACTRESS . AS ELIZABETH MENTIONED, THE OPENAI SAID THEY INTERVIEWED HUNDREDS OF VOICE S. BUT AGAIN, JUST AS WE’VE BEEN SAYING, THIS JUST ILLUSTRATES THE LAF GUARDRAILS AND THE NE A FEDERALISLATION WHICH SCARLETT JOHANSSON MENTIONS IN HER LETTER. YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ONGOING THEME WITH WITH ARTISTS, ACTORS, MUSICIANS, VISUAL ARTISTS, THE NEED TO PROTECT THEIR TALENTS, WHETHER THAT BE THEIR THEIR DIGITAL LIKENESS, THEIR ART. AND SO WE’RE JUST SEEING A GROWTH IN CALLS FOR FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT WOULD PROTECT THEM AND THEIR ART. >> IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY SAID THEY INTERVIEWED SOME OVER 400 SUBMISSIONS AND SELECTED FIVE DIFFERENT VOICES HERE. BUT STILL A STUNNING MOMENT THERE FOR SCARLETT JOHANSSON ELIZABETH. OF COURSE, THIS ALL COMES AS WE’RE LEARNING THAT THE U.S. IS FORMINGS GLOBAL SAFETYRKKE RNATIONALIES AS WE WHAT ELY DOES TAN? >> RIGHT. SO THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY BY THE COMMERCE SECRETARY ,RAIMONDO, ESSENTIALLY, THAT THE U.S. WANTS TO PARTNER WITH OTHER ECONOMIES, COUNTRIES IN EUROPE, JAPAN. A LOT OF THIS IS THE U.S. GOING TO ITS ALLIES AND SAYING, HOW CAN WE TRY TO WORK TOGETHER WITHIN THE EXISTING FRAMEWORK OF THE LAW TO TRY TO SAY THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO RULES AROUND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. BUT REALLY THE UNDERTONE THERE IS THE THREAT POSED BY OTHER GOVERNMENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU THINK OF CHINA. WE’VE ALSO SEEN A PUSH IN CONGRESS TO INVEST IN LEGISLATION THAT COULD COMBAT SOME OF CHINA’S IN A.I. ,TOO. ALL RIGHT. THAT IS SO INTERESTING. ELIZABETH EMANUEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US TODAY. WE APPRECIATE IT. AND I’M KAYNA WHITWORTH.

WE HAVE THE LATEST OUTSIDE COURT AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. ALSO, PERSON DEAD, MORE THAN 70 INJURED AFTER EXTREME TURBULENCE ON A FLIGHT FROM LONDON TO SINGAPOR WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT EXACTLY WHAT WENT WRONG THERE. ALSO, HOW ABOUT THIS?

WILL US UNPACK OF THIS LATER THIS HOUR. HI, EVERYBODY. KAYNA WHITH, SO GLA TO HAV WITH US TODAY. AND TOP STORYIS S DONALDMP’SSE UNPREC HUSH MALSTING TE IN AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT. TODAY ENDED WEEKS OF TESTIMONY WITH. TRUMP’S LAWYERS QUESTIONING THEIR SECOND AND FINAL WITNESS, MICHAEL COHEN’S ONE TIME LAWYER, BOB CASTELLO. IT ONLY TOOK MOMENTS FOR CROSS-EXAMINATION TO TURN TENSE. >> THE PROSECUTION SPARRING WITH CASTELLO OVER HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH RUDY GIULIANI BEFORE CONFRONTING THE FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR WITH HIS OWN EMAILS, INCLUDING WHERE HE CALLS COHEN AND QUOTING HERE, AN. AND THE JUDGE DISMISSING THE JURY FOR A LONG MEMORIAL WEEKEND BREAK. CLOSING ARGUMENTS ARE SET TO HAPPEN EXACTLY A WEEK FROM. LEADING US OFF, HERE IS OUR ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTEOE THOUSE. SHE’S BEING THI DAY ONE, JOINED BY LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BROCKMIRE. SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE WITH US. AND OLIVIA, LIKE PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE, WILL RETURN TO THE COURTROOM REALLY AT ANY MOMENT NOW AFTER THIS PRE-CHARGE CONFERENCE. SO HOW WILL THE REST OF THIS TRIAL PLAY TIMING WISE? CORRECT. THEY ARE GOING TO START THAT CONFERENCE IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. I ASSUME IT WILL TAKE IT TO THE END OF THE DAY TO ABOUT 430. AND THEN THE JURY ESSENTIALLY HAS A WEEK OFF. THEY HAVE A LONG MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND BECAUSE THE JUDGE PUSHED OUT THE SCHEDULE. CLOSING ARGUMENTS ARE NOW GOING TO BE DELIVERED NEXT. AND JUDGE MERCHAN CAUTIONING THE JURY, TELLING THEM THIS DOES NOT GOING TO BE SHORT, PREPARING FOR THEM TO TAKE IT ALL DAY WITH THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS, EVEN SUGGESTING THEY WOULD BE ASKING THEM IF THEY COULD GO PAST 430 ON TUESDAY TO GET BOTH OF THEM INTO IN THAT ONE DAY. IF NOT, THEY WILL RETURN ONCE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY TO FINISH THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS. THEN MERCHAN WILL DELIVER WHAT IS KNOWN THE JURY CHARGE, INSTRUCTING THEM ON THE LAW, HOW TO REVIEW THE EVIDENCE, KEY INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL NO DOUBT AFFECT WHAT THEIR ULTIMATE VERDICT IS. AND THEN THEY WILL BE TO THE RACES WHERE THEY WILL HAVE A TUESDAY, WHATEVER DAY THEY TO DELIBERATE. ALTHOUGH I WOULD NOTE THIS COURT DOES NOT SIT ON IN THIS TRIAL, BUT MERCHAN HINTING THEY COULD HAVE THEM SET FOR DELIBERATIONS WEDNESDAY AS WELL. SO IT COULD BE A TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY DELIBERATITION NEXT WEEK HERE. >>. HE WAS ASKINGY ABOUT THEIR AVAILABILITY ON THE WEDNESDAY NOTING THAT THEY HAVEN’T BEEN IN COURT AT ALL ON WEDNESDAYS. THANK YOU, OLIVIA. BRIAN, CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH WHAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS DURING THIS CONFERENCE HERE? OLIVIA NOTED WILL START IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. SO IN A PRE-CHARGE CONFERENCE, WHAT YOU’LL SEE IS BOTH SIDES ADVOCATING FOR SPECIFIC LANGUAGE WITHIN THE CHARGES THAT THE JUDGE WILL ULTIMATELY READ TO THE JURY AS THEY BEGIN THEIR DELIBERATIONS OR JUST BEFOBEGIN THEIR DELIBERATION LL HEAR THINGT TO ENSURE THAT THIS LANGUAGE APPEARS IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CREDIBLE WITNESS OR HOW A CAN EVALUATE THE LACK OF EVIDENCE AS WELL, THE ACTUAL EVIDENCE PRESENTED. BUT EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS CHARGE IN THAT MODEL EXAMPLE, HOW THOSE CHARGES ARE READ TO A JURY, THAT WE ALL CAN KIND OF GOOGLE AND LOOK UP, THE JUDGE WILL PRESENT. THERE ARE FOUR ALTERNATIVES AS TO HOW A PERSON CAN BE FOUND GUILTY OF THIS CRIME, WHETHER E L ENTRYTER OACE RATE OR O FORMS NGING A DOCUMENT TO OMIT OR TO MAKE A TRUE ENTRY IN A BUSINESS RECORD, OR TO PREVENT THE MAKING OF A TRUE ENTRY OR CAUSE OF THE OMISSION THERE OF. AND WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IS IN ESPECIALLY IN THIS EXAMPLE, DEFENSE AND SAY, ALL RIGHT, THE EVIDENCE THAT CAME UP DURING THE TRIAL AFFORDS ITSELF LENDING TO THIS INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARGING, THIAGE BEING READ RATHER THAN THAT LANGUAGE. AND THEN THEY’LL PROVIDE CASELAW TO SUPPORT THEIR. >> ALL RIGHT, BRIAN AND OLIVIA, AS BRIAN IS TALKING THERE, THERE IS THESE IMAGES, YOU KNOW, DRAWINGS OF TRUMP IN THE COURTROOM WITH HIS EYES CLOSED IN A WAY THAT YOU HAVE DESCRIBED HIM TIME, TIME. CAN YOU TAKE US A LITTLE BIT INTO THE TESTIMONY OF BOB COSTELLOACK ONTANDTODAY FUICK, 30 MR SO? OCCURRED TO YOU DURING HIS TESTIMONY TODAY? >> WELL IT WAS ANYTHING BUT SLEEPY CAME I MOST OF THAT TODAY WAS QUITE HEATED. CROSS-EXAMINATION FROM AS YOU SAID, WAS CONFRONTINGSTED ESTIFY THASTELLO OPENED THIS BACK CHANNEL TO HIM ONCE HIS HOME WAS RAIDED BY THE FBI . ONCE IT BECAME CLEAR HE WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND THAT IT WAS COSTELLO WHO WAS WORKING TO FUNNEL MESSAGES TO HIM ON BEHALF OF TRUMP AND RUDY GIULIANI AND I’M PARAPHRASING HERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, MESSAGES SUCH AS HOLD THE LINE, YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES. THE TEAM IS WITH YOU DO YOU NEED ME TO FUNNEL ANYTHING? AND TRUMP’S TEAM WAS TRYING TO PUSH BACK ON THAT, BUT IT SORT OF BECAME A SCREAMING FAST AT TIMES WITH QUITE CONTENTIOUS IN HOW HE ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS. QUITE AGGRESSIVE NOT WANTING TO ADMIT THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF BACK CHANNELING WITH MICHAEL COHEN, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HIS OWN EMAILS STHAT HE N CLEAR THAT WENT OVER WITH THE JURY. BUT IT IS INTERESTING THAT AFTER WEEKS OF TESTIMONY THIS IS WHERE THE JURY LEFT OFF WITH TESTIMONY FROM, BOB COSTELLO TRYING TO SORT OF DISCREDIT MICHAEL COHEN AND ULTIMATELY SAYING MICHA TOLA ABOU $130,000 PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS. OF COURSE, DONALD TRUMP’S OWN TEAM DOESN’T EVEN CONTEST THAT. SO PARTS OF IT A BIT DISJOINTED THERE. KEENAN CERTAINLY GIVING SOMETHING THE JURY TO THINK ABOUT AS THEY GO INTO THEIR ONE WEEK BREAK. >> AND BRIAN, I LOVE YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THAT, AS OLIVIA POINTS OUT, DISJOINTED, RIGHT? YOU HEARD VERYNT ERE FRONE STANROM DAY ONE, MICHAEL COHEN’S CREDIBILITY WAS IN QUESTION. SO HOW DOES JURY PARSE ALL OF THAT? >> YEAH, IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE DEFENSE AT THE VERY EARLY ONSET OF THIS CASE MADE THE ARGUMENT THAT THIS ISN’T A CRIME, THIS IS DEMOCRACY. THE ABILITY TO PU CERTAINORIESEA STORIE AND FOR THEM, AND NEVER ANY POINT IN TIME, AT LEAST IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS CASE, THAT THE DEFENSE REALLY PUSHED BACK ON A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON DONALD TRUMP’S PART IN TERMS OF THE PAYMENTS AND THE REIMBURSEMENTS ALWAYS ARGUING THAT WHAT MIC COHEN DID A LEXPENSE AND ITASPROPERLYENTE. S ONTAND AND SAYS FROM MICHAEL COLLINS OWN MOUTH THAT DONALD TRUMP DID NOT KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU’RE NOW PRESENTED WITH TWO VERY DIFFERENT THEORIES HERE AND IT’S GONNA BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHICH THE DEFENSE PICKS UP AND RUNS WITH, SO TO SPEAK, IN THIS CASE ,BECAUSE IT’S EITHER THAT MICHAEL COHEN IS JUST LYING TO EVERYONE AND WE HAVE TO PASS THROUGER OR NOT HE’S LYING TO THEERE OR THAT BOB COSTELLO WAS LYING ABOUT WHAT MICHAEL COHEN SAID TO HIM AS TO WHETHER OR NOT DONALD TRUMP KNEW ABOUT THE INS AND OUTS OF THIS. BUT MICHAEL COHEN ALSO GAVE US THROUGH HIS DIRECT EXAMINATION THAT HE DIDN’T TRUST BOB COSTELLO BECAUSE OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH RUDY GIULIANI. ‘S WHY I ALL TMATION. AGAIN,ES BAC H TO DECIDE WHO’S TELLING THE TRUTH HERE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE CORROBORATION, THE PROSECUTION PUT FORWARD IS ENOUGH TO PROVE THIS CASE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. >> RIGHT. >> WHO THEY BELIEVE MORE. AND AS WE KNOW, DONALD TRUMP DID NOT TAKE THE STAND. THERE WAS SOME SPECULATION AT THE ONSET OF ALL OF THIS THAT HE MIGHT, BUT ALSO, OLIVIA, I’M HOPING THAT YOU CAN REMIND ALL OF US, WE’RE TALKING A LOT ABOUT WHO MIGHT THEY BELIEVE WHEN THEY TESTIFY. AND I’M WANT TO TALK TO YOU IN A MOMENT, THE PAPER TRAIL. BUT FIRST, LET’S TAKE A LISTEN TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT ADDRESSING CAMERAS. >> HE HEADS BACK INTO COURT. REVIEWS REVIEWED THE CASE SO FAR AS THEY SAY THERE IS NO CRIME, NEVER BEEN BROUGHT. IT SHOULD BE DISMISSED BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE A VERY. BUT, YEAH, THE JUDGE IS EXTREMELY CRITICAL. SO THAT’S A COMPLICATED BUT LET’S ALSO SAY CONFLICTED. IT’S COMPLICATED INTERPRETATION I NOBODY SEENG LIKE I BUT WEA SITHE S NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE IS TO TRY AND MANUFACTURE ONE WHERE HE GOES FROM THE MISDEMEANOR WHICH DOESN’T BECAUSE OF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS DOESN’T EXIST. THAT’S DOABLE. AND THEY TRY TO BRING IT TO A FELONY. BUT HE CAN’T DO IT BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO PROVE IT. AND YOU SEE WHAT’S HAPPENED THERE. HAVE TO REMEMBER ON A DAY I’M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT LIKE BEMPRESSED. BUT I’M, SO WOULD I TAKE A CHANCE IF WT WANT TO DEFENONSTITUTION. SO I TALK ABOUT MAYBE I WILL TAKE THE CASE. IT’S A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION WHERE A REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT AND THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, SOMEBODY WANT TO EASILY AND QUICKLY IN RECORD TIME GETS NUMBER ONE GAGGED AND NUMBER. DO THIS BEFORE A DEMOCRAT JUDGE AND YOU’RE PLAYING WITH FIRE LIKE THIS. IT’S VERY SAD. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IN CASE THERE IS NO RIGHT NOW, WE WILL NEED ALL OF THESE AGAIN.T ALLERTS, LEGASCHOLARSEDO CRIME. >> SO THEY DID NOT TRY ANYBODY FOR ONE. RIGHT. AS A JUDGE THEM OUT. >> YES. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU’RE HEARING FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT. THEY’RE ADDRESSING AGAIN SAYING E HAVE HEARD TIME AND TIME AGAIN ,THAT HE DOES BELIEVE THAT THIS IS UNFAIR. HE HAS CALLED THIS A HUNT NUMEROUS TIMES. HE’S CALLING IT COMPLICATED AND CONFLICTED AND EVEN SAYING THAT THE JUDGE HERE IS TRYING TO MANUFACTURE A CRIME. AND HE GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT HOW HE IS AND HE CAN’T REALLY ADDRESS IT AND AGAIN, STARTS TO SHOW NEWS ARTICLES HE HAS DONE ON A DAILY BASIS. YOU CAN ALSO SEE HIS SON THERE ,HIM OVER HIS SHOULDER. HE WAS THERE YESTERDAY AS WELL. SO I WANT TO BRING BACK IN OLIVIA AND BRIAN BUCKMIRE TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS. OLIVIA, I MEAN, REALLY, AS WE MARCH TOWARDS NEXT WEEK HERE AND THE END OF ALL OF THIS, AS WE’VE BEEN COVERING IT EVERY SINGLE DAY, YOU’VEING THE FORMER P’S DISPOSITION IN AN MENTI STIMON AND WE AS YESTERDAY WAS ANYTHING BUT SLEEPY TO YOUR POINT. BUT HE DID HAVE HIS EYES CLOSED FOR A LOT. HOW HAVE YOU SEEN HIS DEMEANOR CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THIS 20 DAYS? >> WELL, HAVE CERTAINLY SEEN HIM SORT OF WANE IN AND OUT OF INTERESTS. HE HAS BEEN MOST INTERESTED WHEN IT IS HIS OWN, WHO ARE QUESTIONING THE WITNESSES ON CROSS-EXAMINATION. HE CLEARLY LIKES TO WATCH HIS OWN LEGAL TEAM WORK AND HE DRIFTS AWAY WHEN IT IS THE PROSECUTORS WORKING WITH THEIR WITNESSES, ENTERING IN KEY TESTIMONY INTO THE RECORD IN FRONT OF THE JURY . BUT AS YOU ALSO POINTED OUT, IT , I’VE BH HIM NUMBERESTHIS C OF TRIAL THAT HE ATTENDED. HE CHOSE TO TESTIFY IN ALL OF THEM. THINK ABOUT THE CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL. THINK ABOUT THE E. JEAN CARROLL TRIAL WHEN HE TOOK THE STAND FOR JUST MINUTES. BUT HERE, NO TESTIMONYAND UNDES ARE HERE. THIS IS A CRIMINAL TRIAL AND THE FIRST ONE HE HAS FACED POSSIBLY THE ONLY ONE AND THAT’S A REVERSAL ALL CAME OUT FROM HIS PUBLIC STATEMENTS . I REMEMBER ASKING HIM IN MARCHN? HE S HE WO HAVE NO PROBLEML. HE SAID AGAIN AT A PRESS THAT HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY TESTIFY. AND NOW HERE WE ARE, HIS DEFENSE RESTING TODAY WITHOUT ANY TESTIMONY FROM DONALD TRUMP AT ALL. THE JURY HAS TO GO ON IS WHAT THEY SAW OF HIM. THE COURTROOM AT TIMES ASLEEP AT TIMES UNINTERESTED AT TIMES ANGRY, CURSING FROM THE DEFENSE TABLE, AT TIMES MUTTERING UNDER HIS BREATH, AT TIMES SHAKING HIS HEAD, BUT NEVER HEARING AS HE HAT THURRED WHAT WE JUST HEARD FROM HIM ONCE AGAIN IN THE HALLWAY, WHICH IS THAT THERE WAS NO HERE . SO WE KNOW HE CALLS IT A WITCH HUNT. WE KNOW HE SAYS IT’S UNFAIR, BUT THAT IS A PART OF HIS DEFENSE TO SAY THAT THERE NO CR THAT TMENTSRE PROPEKED S. SAYINGTHE HALLWAY, BUNOT STON THE WITNESS STAND FRT OF THE JURY. >> RIGHT. AND HE HAS ACCESS TO THOSE CAMERAS DAY IN AND DAY OUT. AND HE EVEN TURNED AROUND AND LEFT AND DIDN’T TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FROM REPORTERS THAT WERE SORT OF SHOUTING THE QUESTION THAT YOU ANSWEOUGHM WHULDN’T TESTIFY. HE DIDN’T TAKE THOSE QUESTIONS TODAY. AND BRIAN, I’VE HEARD A LOT OF DIFFERENT LEGAL AND ANALYSIS HERE ON WHY HE SHOULDN’T TESTIFY. AND A LOT OF THERE’S A LOT OF VOICES OUT THERE THAT SAY DON’T DO IT. IT WOULD BURY THE CASE. >> BUT I HEARD SOMEONE ELSE SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, HE’S THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN REALLY TELL HIS OWN PERSPECTIVE AND HIS OWN EXPERIENCE. >> HERE HE IS F THE SENSE OF A LOT OF THESE CONVERSATIONS THAT THE PROSECUTION HAVE HIGHLIGHTED. IT WAS ONLY MICHAEL COHEN AND DONALD TRUMP. AND SO IF YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT THIS FROM A STANDPOINT OF LET’S HAVE A BATTLE OF CREDIBILITY, RIGHT? LET’S HAVE WHAT DONALD TRUMP SAYS, THAT CONVERSATION WAS PITTEDST THAT OF L COHETHEY Y ABOUT ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT.OESN’T HAVE MULTIPLE CONVICTIONS FOR LYING AND DEFRAUDING CONGRESS, COURTS, JUDGES, WHATEVER MAY BE. AND SO THAT COULD THEORETICALLY BE GOOD DEFENSE TO HAVE DONALD TRUMP ON THE STAND AND TESTIFYING. BUT ULTIMATELY, IT’S HIS FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHT. THE JURY WILL BE TOLD NOT TO CONSIDER FACT THAT HE DID NOT TESTIFY AGAINST HIM. AND I DO THINK THAT THIS IT A CASE WHERE A WITNESS GETS UP ON THE STAND AND SAYS THIS, WHAT HAPPENED? AND THAT’S HOW YOU WIN AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY. I DO THINK THIS IS A WHERE YOU HIGHLIGHT THE FLAWS IN THE PROSECUTION’S CASE. AND YOU SHOW THEY COULD NOT PROVE THIS CASE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. SO I THINK JUST THE NATURE THE OF HIS ATTORNEYSFORNALD TRT AND NOT TO TAKE THE STAND IN HERE. ALL RIGHT. BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND OLIVIA RUBIN, OUR THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU. AND WE JUST SHOWED YOU MOMENTS THERE, THE FORMER PRESIDENT WALKING BACK INTO THE COURTROOM FOR THIS CONFERENCE AND EVERYTHING WILL RECONVENE NEXT TUESDAY. THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE WITH US.

AND THIS ISN’T REALLY MUCH A SURPRISE BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES TAKE IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR A OF THEM SELL PROCESSED CONVENIENT FOODS AND THEY FOLLOW MARKET. WE’VE SEEN THIS IN THE PAST WITH FOODS THAT ARE MARKETED FOR LOW FAT DIETS, HIGH PROTEIN DIETS, GLUTEN FREE, YOU KNOW, NON GMOTEVER IT BE. SOHEREREND AMERI FOLLOWIWITH TTX MANUFACTURERS TO JUMP ON BOARD. >> WELL, THAT’S INTERESTING. AND IN YOUR OPINION HERE, IF THERE’S SOMEBODY THAT IS TAKING ONE OF THESE DRUGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIABETES, IT’S BEEN PRESCRIBED TO THEM BY A DOCTOR VERSUS SOMEONE WHO ITAKIR THE ESTHETIC APPEAL DOY NEED ADDRESS WHAT THEY’ ACTUALLY IN A DIFFERENT WAY? >> EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO IS TAKING THESE WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATIONS NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY WORK. THEY SUPPRESS YOUR APPETITE. THEY KIND OF MIMIHESE THESE THEY BLOUNGER, HORMO YOU’ATING LESS. YOU ALSOOING TO HA A DELAYED TRANSIT TIME IN YOUR GUT. LONG STORY SHORT, FOOD STAYS IN YOUR GUT FOR LONGER WHICH IS WHY SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE SIDE EFFECTS LIKE BLOATING OR NAUSEA AND THEY EAT LESS. IF YOU EAT LESS, YOU MAY NOT BE TAKING IN THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PROTEIN FIBER, IRON, VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS WHICH YOUR BODY NEEDS, WHICH IS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE THESE MEDICATIONS ALONGSIDE PROFESSIONAL HEALTH CARE GUIDANCE. AND THAT MAY INCLUDE THE GUF A DIETITIAN NUST. Y SUR THAT FRE EATINALORIE DAY,EATINGGH NUTRI FOODS. THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY TO VARIOUS FOODS. >> SO THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF TRIAL AND ERROR. >> AND IN TERMS OF THOSE NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS THAT YOU NEED TO BE EATING AND MEALS ARE GOING TO BE HIGHLY PROCESSED. RIGHT. SO D THAT IM THESENUTRIENTT THEG IN, DOES THAT HOW THEY’RE ABSORBED PEOPLE? YOU KNOW, IT DEFINITELY IMPACTS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION TO. AND IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER HEALTH FOODS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE CONVENIENT, THAT ARE QUICK, YOU DON’T HAVE TO COOK. I UNDERSTAND THE APPEAL. THERE ARE ALREADY PROTEIN BARS AND MEAL REPLACEMENTS AND SHAKES YOU CAN BUY. AND SOME OF THESE MAY HAVE HIDDEN ADDITIVES, PRESERVATIVES, SUGAR. THEY’RE NOT ALWAYS TIGHTLY REGULATED. IT’S A WHOLE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE BETTER. AND EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW I SAW THE PICTURE TODAY OF ONE OF THE FOODS AS ADVERTISED AND IT LOOKS LIKE, HEY, THERE’S SOME CHICKEN, THERE’S SOME VEGETABLES THERE’S RICE, THERE’S WHOLE GRAINS. BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD POTENTIALLY BE IN THERE FOR TO HAVE A SHELF LIFE.SO IF L YOU START WITH PROTEI FIRST’S RH AND THAT YOU MAKE SURE YOU’RE FILLING YOUR PLATE WITH PLANT BASED FOODS, GET ALL THOSE VITAL NUTRIENTS YOU’RE NOT FILLING UP ON THINGS LIKE PROCESSED FOODS CARBS OR ANYTHING THAT MAY ACTUALLY WORSEN YOUR SYMPTOMS AND NOT GET YOU THE NUTRIENTS YOU NEED.IGHT.

YOU ARE. >> YOU ARE YOU EVERY NIGHT. ABC’S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA’S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST. >> HI, EVERYONE. I’M KENNETH. WE’RE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US TODAY. OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR, THE JUDGE IN THE HISTORIC HUSH PAYMENT TRIAL AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS NOW HOLDING WHAT’S CALLED A PRE CHARGE CONFERENCE TO FINALIZE THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL BE TO THE JURY, THE DEFENSE, THE PROSECUTION, BOTH IN ATTENDANCE RIGHT. EACH WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO WN. OFRSE, THISCOMING AFTER . TRUMP’ENSE TEAMD CASE IN TH UNPRECD HUSH M TRIAL TODAY WITH TRUMP’S LAWYERS QUESTIONING THEIR SECOND AND FINAL WITNESS, BOB COSTELLO. THE JURY HAS NOW BEEN DISMISSED FOR THIS LONG MEMORIAL WEEKEND BREAK AS THE JUDGE SIGNALS THIS CASE COULD BE INIR HANDS WEEK. N OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE, JOINED BY LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL AND BRIAN BUCKMIRE. >> THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE. SO, OLIVIA THEY ALL JUST SORT OF FILED IN HERE FOR THIS JUDGE’S CONFERENCE AND TRUMP, BEFORE HE WENT IN THERE, SAID, YOU KNOW, THESE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. SO GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT IT’S LIKE THERE AND ESPECIALLY CONSIDERINTHE JUR NOAFTER SEEING V TIOUS MN COUR. IT IS KEY, KAYNA, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING DETERMINE WHAT SEAN TELLS THE JURY TO CONSIDER AS IT RELATES TO THE LAW, AS IT RELATES TO THE EVIDENCE. AND SO IT IS GOING TO SHAPE THEIR DELIBERATI WHAT THEY ULTIMATELYINGTO FIGOUT IF D TRUM CORRECT WE CALLSTHIS CRITIT HERE FOR THIS TYPE OF HEARING. THIS IS BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM AND THE PROSECUTORS IN THE CASE, EACH MAKING THEIR OWN ARGUMENTS FOR HOW HE SHOULD INSTRUCT THEM.D JUSTT IS GETTING UND AND IT ISTRUMP’SY, OVE, WHO KICKING IT OFF? AND WHAT HE IS ARGUING IS THAT HE WOULD LIKE AN INSTRUCTION FROM JUDGE MARCHAN TO INSTRUCT THE JURY THAT THEY ARE THAT THERE WAS SORT OF A A CIVIL CONSPIRACY, THAT UNDERLINED THIS SCHEME HERE, NOT A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY. REMEMBER, THIS IS A FELONY CASE BECAUSE PROSECUTORS HAVE ALLEGED THE UNDERLYING CRIME, THE CONSPIRACY TO INFLUENCE THE ELECTION. BUT WH BOVS ARGUTHEJUDGE ISOSECT THE COURSE OF THIS CASE THAT CRIMINAL UNDER PINNING SAYING THAT IT SHOULD BE CIVIL BUT NOT CRIMINAL. AND, OF COURSE I EXPECT THAT PROSECUTORS WILL PUSH BACK ON THIS HEAVILY IN THE MOMENTS COME WHEN THEY NOWTHEIR. AND TIME AGAIN THAT A LOTARD TIM OF LEGAL ANALYSTS FEEL LIKE THAT A FELONY IS TOO FAR HERE AND THAT THEY HAVEN’T PROVEN A CRIME YET. BRIAN, I’M REALLY CURIOUS TO GET YOUR PERSPECTIVE HERE ON WHAT OLIVIA WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT. THEY THE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS RIGHT NOW WANT THIS ALLEGED CONSPIRACY, AS SHE SAID, TO BE PAINTED AS CIVIL, NOT CRIMINAL, THESE JURY INSTRUCTIONS. CAN YOU TELL US WHY THAT’S SO IMPORTANT AND HOW YOU THINK THE PROSECUTION MIGHT FIGHT BACK ON THAT? YEAH. OKAY. SO IF THE DEFENSE GETS THEY’RE ASKING FOR AND IS ABLE TO COLOR THE UNDERLYING, LET’S ACTION, BECAUSE IT WOULDN’T BE NECESSARILY A CRIME IF IT’S CIVIL RATHER THAN CRIMINAL ,THEN THEY GET TO SAY THAT THERE’S NO UNDERLYING CRIME BASED ON THE DEFINITIONOFD IS FACING. AND THENULD MAKE IT A FELONY. WOULD IT MAKE IT A CRIME, AS HAS BEEN ARTICULATED IN THE CHARGES AGAINST DONALD TRUMP? HOWEVER, I DON’T THAT’S GOING TO WORK. I AGREE WITH THE DEFENSE THAT A PROSECUTOR SHOULD HAVE TO POINTF A MISDEM TO A FEL FROM BUT MYSELF AND THE DEFENSE IS PROBABLY MADE THESE ARGUMENTS IN STATE COURT. MANY TIMES WILL COME UP WITH THE FACT THAT THAT DOESN’T WORK WHEN IT COMES TO CRIMINAL LAW INTERPRETATION. THE CHARGE IS WHAT IT IS IN THE THAT IF YOU LOOK AT PENALTY BUT IT’S ONE 7510 IT DOESN’T ARTICULATE THAT YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN OR PROVE WHAT THE CRIME IS, MERELY THAT ONE EXISTS. SO I UNDERSTAND WHY DEFENSE ATTORNEYS DON’T LIKE IT, BUT THAT IS HOW IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE, WHETHER NOT YOU’RE THE FORMER PRESIDENT OR JUST A REGULAR CITIZEN. ABSOLUTELY. AND OLIVIA, CAN YOU SORT OF CATCH US UP TO CATCH US UP HERE ON WHAT YOU’RE HEARING OUT OF COURT RIGHT NOW FROM OUR RE THAT ARE IN THERE >> I’M JUST WATCHINOTES FROM THE TEAM AND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING NOW IS THAT THE JUDGE HAS NOW JUST DECLINED TO. ADD A SPECIFIC LINE TO THE JURY CHARGE, SPECIFICALLY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP’S OWN LIMITS TO CONTRIBUTING TO HIS OWN CAMPAIGN IN 2015 AND 2016. HIS AT AMOLE, D THAT TH WOULDVEJ THAT TLD HAV OF HIS OWN POCKET AS PERSONAL EXPENSES FOR THESE PROSECUTORS DID NOT WANT THAT LINE ADDED. THEY SAID IT WAS STRENUOUS BECAUSE HE DIDN’T MAKE THE PAYMENT HIMSELF AND SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE . THE JUDGE DECLINING THAT. SO IT MIGHT SEEM SMALL. KANE ONE LINE HERE, ONE LINE THERE, BUT THAT IS THE TYPE OF BACK FORTH THAT IS GOING TO OVERALL MAKE UP THIS JURY CHARGE. AND AGAIN CAN’T UNDERSCORE ENOUGH. >> EVERY SINGLE LINE IS GOING TO BE KEY AND PROSECUTORS ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET LINES IN THERE THAT THEY WANT THE DEFENSE ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET LINES IN THERE THAT THEY WANT AND THEY WILL WORK TOGETHER AND THE JUDGE WILL ULTIMATELY CRAFT THAT ONE SINGLE CHARGE THAT HE WILL GIVE TO THE JURY. >> WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON HOW IT’S SHAPING OUT. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. LITTLE DETAIL HERE IS CRITICAL AND CRUCIAL. AND I KNOW YOU’LL BE WATCHING THAT CLOSELY. ALSO, THOUGH, AS WE MOVE AHEAD, IF WE LOOK AHEAD, IF YOU CAN, A WEEK HERE, BRIAN. THE JUDGE EXPECTS SUMMATIONS NEXT TUESDAY. >> SO WHAT WILL YOU BE LISTENING FOR IN THAT MOMENT? YEAH, FOR THE PROSECUTION, I THINK IT’S VERY EASY. THEIR CASE HAS BEEN CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT OPENING STATEMENT AND THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY’VE MARSHALED THROUGH THIS TRIAL DOS THATED, M, E ENTS, THICH AND KIL SCHEMEREIMBURSEM AND HOW THESE CHECKS MOVE FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER TO GET THE SIGNATURE OF DONALD J. TRUMP TRUMP SORRY. IN ORDER TO EFFECTUATE THIS CATCH AND KILL SCHEME. AND AS THE PROSECUTION WOULD PUT IT, THE FALSIFYING FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS. WHAT I’M REALLY LOOKING FOR, THOUGH, IS FROM THE DEFENSE, BECAUSE THROUGHOUT THIS CASE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ALMOST HAVE DIFFERENT HERE. ONE, IF YOU B ELLO WHOD MICHAEL COHEN THAT DONALD TRUM KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TO SAY THAT THIS IS JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL, THAT’S THE WAY THAT DEMOCRACY WORKS. AS WE HEARD FROM THE OPENING STATEMENT. AND THEN THREE, THAT THERE IS NO CRIME, THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS AWARE OF THESE PAYMENTS, BUT THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY AND THAT THERE WAS NO UNDERLYING CRIME TO MAKE IT A FELONY. I’M INTERESTED TO SEE THEORY BECAUSE SOME OF THEM DON’T REALLY JIVE WELL TOGETHER, SO TO SPEAK THE DEFENSE GOES WITH AND WHICH ONE THEY ARGUE THE FACTS ALIGN AND HOW HEY PRESH BRBUCKMIRE ANDVIA N, OUR THAO BOTH YOU. LWAYS. ALSO TODAY, A COURT HEARING IS BEING HELD RIGHT NOW IN TURKS AND CAICOS. THE FOUR ONE OF THE AMERICANS ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF AMMUNITION. NOW, THE CARIBBEAN COURT HEARD COMMENTS FROM BOTH THE DEFENSE AND THE PROSECUTION TODAY, TYLER SCOTT. WHEN RAJ PLED GUILTY TO TWO COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF AMMUNITION AND THE JUDGE JUST ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL ISSUE HIS SENTENCING WITHIN SEVEN DAYS. WHEN RICH IS FACING A POSSIBLE 12 YEAR SENTENCE HERE, THIS COMES A DAY AFTER A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF SENATORS TRAVELED TO THE ISLAND NATION. THEY WERE PLEADING LENIENCY OR TO HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS DIFFERENTLY AT THE VERY LEAST. ABC’S MATTIVERS >>H STAKES HEARG TY WHEN RICK ONE OF FIVE AMERICANS FACING 12 YEARS BEHIND BARS IN TURKS AND CAICOS FOR CARRYING AMMUNITION TO THE ISLAND THAT THEY ALL SAY THEY DIDN’T KNOW THEY AFTER BEING DETAINED IN APRIL WHEN TWO OF AMMUNI WERE D IN HIS BHIG A ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE SHIP. I HAVE A LOT OF FEAR AND ANXIETY AS TO WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN, AND I’M HOPING THAT THE JUDGE FINDS SOME COMPASSION AND LENIENCY IN THE SITUATION THAT I’M THAT I’M IN A BIPARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL MEETI WITH ISLAND OFFIC MONDAY ON BEHALF HE DETAINED AMERICANS, SAYING THEY PROPOSED OTHER CONSEQUENCES FOR BREAKING THE LAW INSTEAD OF YOU BEING CHARGED UNDERNEATH THE NATIONAL LAW. YOU CAN BE CHARGED UNDER ANY CUSTOMS ACT, WHICH IS SIMPLY FINE AND YOU’RE EXPELLED FROM THE COUNTRY. >> LONG A POPULAR DESTINATION FOR AMERICANS. IN RECENT YEARS, TURKS IN GUN R VIOLENCENNED GUNWS FOLS AND WEAPONS TRAFFICKING. 45-YEAR-OLD SHERRY GREER DETAINED EIGHT DAYS AGO ON A MOTHER’S DAY TRIP WITH HER DAUGHTERS. FLORIDA MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AFTER AMMUNITION WASLSO FOUND IN HER ON HER WAY GREERS WASANDCUFFEDTO A CHAIRHRG AT THEICE STATION. I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SHE IS NOW LIVING WITH OF THE OTHER DETAINED AMERICANS, BRIAN HEGGIE, RICK AND RYAN WATSON AS ALL THREE AWAIT THEIR DAYS IN COURT. >> THEY ARE MY FAMILY AND WITH ALL OF THIS STUFF HAPPENING, I’M JUST THANKFUL MY FAMILY BACK HOME IS THANKFUL. WELL, OUR THANKS TO MATT RIVERS FOR THAT REPORTING. ALSO, SCARLETT JOHANSSON IS TAKING ON OPENAI FOR ALLEGEDLY COPYING HER VOICE. NOW, THE ACTRESS SAYS SHE TURNED AN OFFER TO BE THE VOICE OF THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM AND THE COMPANY, HER INSTS LIKE HERE’SEF BUSINESSCORRESENT REBE. CARLETT JON OUT. >> SAM ALTMAN, THE CEO OF LEADING GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPANY OPEN A.I., CLAIMING HE GAVE HIS COMPANIES AI PERSONAL ASSISTANT KNOWN AS SKYE,A STRIK >>E A LISTEN. HEY, C BETTY, HOW YOU DOING? >> I’M DOING FANTASTIC. THANKS FOR ASKING THAT VOICE TO JOHANSON IS EERILY SIMILAR TO NONE OTHER HER OWN IN THE 2013 MOVIE. HER WHERE JOHANSON PLAYS, OF ALL THINGS, AN AI ASSISTANT. HERE SHE IS IN THE FILM. >> IT SEEMS LIKE I’M HAVING SO MANY NEW FEELINGS THAT I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER BEEN FELT BEFORE. >> AND AGAIN HERE’S OPENING AI SKYE. >> ONCE UPON A TIME IN A WORLD TOO DIFFERENT FROM OURS. >> THERE WAS A ROBOT NAMED BITE JOHANSSON’S HUSBAND, COLIN JOST. >> EVEN WADING INTO THE CONTROVERSY ON LAST WEEK’S SNL CHATGPT, HE HAS RELEASED A NEW V ASS FEATURE INSPIRED BY SCARLETT JOHANSSON’S AI CHARACTER IN HER, WHICH I HAVE NEVER BOTHERED TO WATCH BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT BODY, WHAT’S THE POINT OF LISTENING? >> AND AS IT TURNS OUT, SAM ALTMAN IS A FAN OF THE FILM, TELLING A CONFERENCE LAST YEAR IT’S HIS FAVORITE. >> WHICH PART OF HER DO YOU LOOK AT AND THIS IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. >> WELL, I MEAN, A TON OF THE NUMBER OF THINGS THAT I THINK HER GOT RIGHT. THIS IDEA THAT IT IS GOING TO BE THIS LIKE CONVERSATIONAL LANGUAGE INTERFACE THAT WAS INCREDIBLY PROPHETIC AND CERTAINLY MORE THAN A LITTLE BIT INSPIRED US. >> ALTMAN APPROACHED JOHANSSON TO BECOME THE VOICE OF HIS NEW PRODUCT, BUT JOHANSSON SAYS SHE DECLINED WITH ALTMAN ASKING HER TO JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE ITS RELEASE. >> THE ISSUE HERE, NOT THAT HER VOICE ITSELF WAS TAKEN, BUT WAS THERE, IN FACT SOMETHING SO CLOSE THAT SHE SHO HAAL RIGHTINST OPEN A.I.? >> THAT’S THE QUESTION HERE. NOW, JOHANSON, WHOSE ARE INSISTING OPENING AI DISCLOSE HOW IT DEVELOPED. THE VOICE SAYS, SHOCKED, ANGERED AND IN DISBELIEF. THE COMPANY DISPUTE THE COMPARISON IN A BLOG POST WRITING I SHOULD NOT DELIBERATELY MIMIC A CELEBRITY’S DISTINCTIVE VOICE AND THAT THE VOICE OF SKYE BELONGS TO A DIFFERENT PROFESSIONAL ACTRESS WHO THEY SAY WAS CAST FOR THE VOICE BEFORE THEY REACHED OUT TO JOHANSON.

HARD TO IMAGINE THAT KIND OF TURBULENCE, PATRICK REEVELL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALSO, PRESIDENT BIDEN LASHING OUT AT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AFTER ITS TOP PROSECUTOR SOUGHT ARREST WARRANTS FOR TOP ISRAELI OFFICIALS. >>N NETANOW T’S CHIEF PROSECUTOR, SAYING TERS OF IS S, INCLU PRIMENISTER,ED WAR IN, GAZA. NETANYAHU REACTING TO THE NEWS THIS MORNING ON "GMA". >> I THINK THAT THE PROSECUTOR SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS STATUS BECAUSE HE’S REALLY TURNING THE ICC AN JAY O’BRIEN INSTITUTION. >> PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. THEY SEE IT AS A POLITICIZED THING. WELL, IN WASHINGTON TODAY, SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN SAYS THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION READY TO WORK WITH CONGRESS ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS TO RESPOND TO THIS DECISION. IN THE MEANTIME, THE SITUATION IN GAZA IS GETTING WORSE. THE DAY. FOOD DISTRIBUTION IN THE SOUTHERN CITY OF RAFAH IS CURRENTLY. LAND CROSSINGS REMAIN CLOSED RIGHT NOW, SO AID COMING ALSO FROM THAT NEWHAT WABUILT BY THE. THAT AID IS FLOWING VERY SLOWLY AT THE MOMENT. ABC’S ELIZABETH SCHULZE IS AT THE WHITE HOUSE FOR US WITH ON THIS. SO ELIZABETH, LET’S START WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN COMING TO ISRAEL’S DEFENSE HERE LASHING OUT AT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. TALK TO US MORE ABOUT DECISION OUTRAGEOUS?NSEHERE. WES THE PRESIDENT IS MAKING CLEAR THAT THEY DO NOT SEE EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN WHAT ISRAEL’S LEADERS HAVE DONE AND WHAT HAMAS LEADERS HAVE DONE WHEN IT COMES TO CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. THE ICC TOP PROSECUTOR ACCUSED NETANYAHU OF TARGETING CIVILIANS OF, CHOKING OFF AID. AND NOTABLY TODAY, QANA, FRANCE, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, A KEY OF THE US, BROKE WITH THE US IN SAYING THAT IT SUPPORTS THE ICC DECISION. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE DECISION, BUT IT ALSO NOT YET CALLING FOR SANCTIONS ON THE ICC, WHICH IS AN EFFORT THAT IS BEING PUSHED BY SOME REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL HILL. ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. WE SAW SPEAKER JOHNSON MAKE NOTES OF THAT YESTERDAY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, BUT ALSO S OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN. HE’S IN WASHINGTON TODAY TESTIFYING BEFORE LAWMAKERS ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S FOREIGN AFFAIRS BUDGET. AND THERE’S A LOT OF COMMOTION THERE. WHAT HAPPENED? YEAH, THIS WAS IN FRONT OF THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE. SECRETARY OF STATE BLINKEN INTERRUPTED BY A PROTESTER WHO WAS HOLDING UP A SIGN BASICALLY CALLING BLINKEN A CRIMINAL. BLINKEN STOPPED FOR A MOMENT. IT WAS INTERRUPTED A COUPLE OF LATER. HE CONTINUED ON AND THEN WAS INTERRUPTED AGAIN. BUT HE WAS ASKED. HE CONTINUED HIS TES LATEE DAYE HAT THS IS NUE TOR IRE.’S HOW WNSWER THAT. >> THE EXTREMELY WRONGHEADED DECISION BY THE ICC PROSECUTOR . THE SHAMEFUL EQUIVALENCE IMPLIED BETWEEN HAMAS AND THE LEADERSHIP OF ISRAEL. I THINK THAT ONLY COMPLICATES THE PROSPECTS FOR GETTING AN AGREEMENT. SO, AGAIN, BLASTING THAT DECISION BY , I WILL SAY QANA, THAT INTERRUPTION PROTEST THAT WE SAW ON CAPITOL HILL OF WHAT WE SEE SO OFTEN ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL JUST EARLIER. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, SHE’S OUT IN PHILADELPHIA. SHE WAS INTERRUPTED BY DOZENS PROTESTERS THERE, TOO. YEAH, WE ARE SEEING THAT ACROSS THE BOARD. YOU’RE SO RIGHT. AND AGAIN, NOTING THAT THE ICC IS THERE QUESTIONING JURISDICTION, THE TIMING OF THIS AS WELL.

WHEREVER THE STORY IS, TAKE YOU THERE IF YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS FROM ALL RIGHT IF YOU’RE TAKING WEGOVY OR OZEMPIC, LISTEN TO THE WORLD’S BIGGEST FOOD COMPANY. NESTLÉ HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW LINE $5 FROZEN PIZZAS AND PROTEIN ENRICHED PASTAS WILL BE SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES, SPECIFICALLY FOR PE THAT TAKING . AN COMPAAYS THAT NEW PRTS ARE SETT THRMARKETES IN OCTOBER WITH A FOCUS ON HAVING PRODUCTS WITH MORE PROTEIN AND CALCIUM FOR THOSE THAT ARE TAKING THE POPULAR APPETITE DRUGS. ABC NEWS MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR DR. ALOK PATEL IS JOINING ME NOITH MORE OIS. SO MANYSTIONS DR.. MENTIONI THAT STARTED WORKING ON THESE COMPANION PRODUCTS, IF YOU WILL, FOR THESE APPETITES SUPPRESSING DRUGS AT SOME POINT LAST YEAR. SO FIRST OF ALL, JUST GENERALLY ,WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR IF THEY’RE INTERESTED IN EATING OF THESE MEALS? >> WELL, YOU’RE YOU’RE ON POINT. I THINK AT TH ENDF 2023, MANY FOOD MANUFACTURERS, NESTLÉ STARTED TO NOTICE CHANGES IN THEIR SALES, POTENTIALLY WHAT COULD HAPPEN AS THESE WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS GROW IN POPULARITY. SO WHAT PEOPLE CAN EXPECT LIKELY IS GOING TO SHOW UP ON SHELVES ARE THESE FOODS THAT ARE TARGETING THOSE WHO MAY BE TAKING WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS, ARE EATING LESS FOOD, BUT WANT STI MAKE THHEY’RE GETTING HIGH NENT DENSE MEALS. SO NOW SO YOUSAYING, H MEALSMALLER TO FITESE YOUR BUT WILL HAVE PROTEIN, FIBER AND IRON, WHICH PEOPLE MAY BE MISSING IF THEY’RE TAKING WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS AND ARE EATING LESS IN GENERAL. AND THIS IS A REALLY MUCH OF A SURPRISE BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES TAKE IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS YEAR. A LOT OF THEM SELL PROCESSED, CONVENIENT FOODS AND THEY FOLLOW MARKET TRENDS. WE’VE SEEN THIS IN THE PAST WITH FOODS THAT ARE MARKETED FOR LOW DIETS, HIGH PROTEIN DIETS, GLUTEN FREE, YOU KNOW, NON GMO, WHATEVER IT MAY BE. SO IF THERE IS A TREND THAT AMERICANS ARE FOLLOWING WITH THEIR DIET, EXPECT THE FOOD MANUFACTURERS TO JUMP ON BOARD. >> WELL, THAT’S INTERESTING. AND IN YOUR OPINION HERE, IF THERE’S SOMEBODY THAT IS TAKING ONE OF THESE DRUGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIABETES, IT’S BEEN PRESCRIBED TO THEM, A DOCTOR VERSUS SOMEONE WHO IS TAKING IT PURELY FOR THE ESTHETIC APPEAL ,WEIGHT LOSS. DO THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSING WHAT THEY’RE ACTUALLY EATING IN A DIFFERENT WAY? >> EVERY SINGLE PERSON IS TAKING THEIGHT LOS MEDICA NEED TO TAND THEY WORKTHE. E HUNGER HORMONES SHOULD SAY THEY BLOCK HUNGER HORMONES. YOU’RE EATING LESS. YOU ALSO ARE GOING TO HAVE A DELAYED TRANSIT TIME IN YOUR GUT. LONG STORY SHORT, FOOD STAYS IN YOUR GUT FOR LONGER IS WHY SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE SIDE EFFECTS LIKE BLOATING OR NAUSEA AND MAY EAT LESS. IF YOU EAT LESS, YOU MAY NOT BE TAKING IN THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PROTEIN FIBER, IRON, VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS WHICH YOUR BODY NEEDS, WHICH IS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE THESE MEDICATIONS ALONGSIDE PROFESSIONAL HEALTH CARE GUIDANCE. AND THAT MAY INCLUDE THE GUIDANCE OF A DIETITIAN NUTRITIONIST. SO YOU CAN SURE THAT EVEN IF YOU’RE EATING LESS CALORIES PER DAY, YOU’RE EATING HIGH NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS. THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY TO VARIOUS FOODS. >> SO THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT OF TRIAL AND ERROR. >> AND IN TERMS OF THOSE NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS THAT YOU NEED TO BE EATING AND, THESE MEALS ARE GOING TO BE HIGHLY PROCESSED. RIGHT. SO DOES THAT IMPACT HOW THESE NUTRIENTS THAT THEY’RE PUTTING IN, DOES THAT IMPACT HOW THEY’RE ABSORBED PEOPLE? YOU KNOW, IT DEFINITELY IMPACTS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD PAYING ATTENTION TO. AND IF YOU LOOK AT OTHER HEALTH FOODS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE CONVENIENT THAT ARE QUICK, YOU DON’T HAVE TO COOK. I UNDERSTAND THE APPEAL. THERE ARE ALREADY PROTEIN BARS AND MEAL REPLACEMENTS AND SHAKES YOU CAN BUY. AND SOME OF THESE MAY HAVE HIDDEN ADDITIVES, PRESERVATIVES, SUGAR.THEY’RE NOG REGULATED. TO BE BR.AREAYS GOING AN THOUGH YW I SAWTHE PIE TODAYE FOODS AS ADVERTISED AND IT LOOKS LIKE, HEY, THERE’S SOME CHICKEN, THERE ARE SOME VEGETABLES, RICE, THERE’S WHOLE GRAINS.

PLUS, AMERICAN DELEGATION HEADED TO TURKS AND CAICOS AFTER AN AMERICAN TOURIST WAS ARRESTED AFTER BRINGING AMMUNITION INTO HIS LUGGAGE. WE WILL TALK TO ONE OF THOSE LAWMAKERS ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND WHAT’S NEXT. ALSO, SEVERE WEATHER SLAMMING, THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY AND THINGS MAY ONLY GET WORSE AS THE DAY GOES ON. HAVE YOECAST COM UP . ALL RIGHT. HI, EVERYBODY. KAYNA WHITWORTH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR, THE JUDGE IN THISTORIC HUSH MOMENT TRIAL AGAINST FORMER PRESIALD T CONFW CAL PRE CHA SO THEY’RE DOING THIS INSTRUCTIONS.HE J THE DEFENSE AND THE PROSECUTOR SHOULD BOTH IN ATTENDANCE AS THIS TRUMP AND THEIR EACH HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO WEIGH IN ON WHAT THEY WANT THE JURY TO READ. THIS OF COURSE COMES AFTER TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM RESTED THEIR CASE IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED HUSH MONEY TRIAL EARLIER. >> TRUMP’S LAWYERS QUESTIONING THEIR SECOND AND FINAL WITNESS, BOB CASTELLO. THE JURY HAS NOW BEEN DISMISSED FOR THIS LONG MEMORIAL WEEKEND BREAK AS THE JUDGE SIGNALS THIS CASE COULD BE IN HANDS BY NEXT WEEK. I WANT TO BRING OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA RUBIN, WHO’S LIVE OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE FOR US. I’M JOINED BY CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND FORMER PROSECUTOR TIM JANSEN. SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE WITH. SO, OLIVIA, LET’S DIVE INTO WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN COURT AS THE DEFENSE AND THE PROSECUTION ARE SORT OF SAYING WHAT THEY WANT THE JUDGE TO WRITE DOWN FOR THE JURY TO UNDERSTAND HERE? AND THE JUDGE I KNOW OLIVIA, HAS SAID WE NEED THIS TO BE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE FOR THE JURY. NEED TO BENDERSTRYTHI HER OLIVIA ON THE JURY WAS SAYING THEY MUST FIND TRUMP WILLFULLY IN ORDER TO CONVICT. THAT’S WHAT THE DEFENSE WANTS, WANTS THE JUDGE TO WRITE. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PROSECUTION WANTS, IT YOU KNOW, CRIMINALLY. >> MM. >> EVERY SINGLE WORD THAT JUDGE MERCHAN GIVES TO THE JURY MATTERS. KANE AND RIGHT NOW, BOTH SIDES ARE FOR EXACTLY HOW THEY WANT THIS PHRASING TO BE. AS YOU JUST SAID DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM WANTS IT TO BE MADE CLEAR THAT IT IS A CIVIL CONSPIRACY PROSECUTOR SAYING IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER IT CIVIL OR CRIMINAL. THEY JUST NEED TO PROVE THAT DONALD TRUMP ACTED UNLAWFULLY. THEY HE MOVED A HAT WE A WITH, AND THAT IS MICHAEL COHEN. AND WHAT THE JUDGE IS GRAPPLING WITH RIGHT NOW AND ACTUALLY EXPRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT IS HOW EXACTLY THE PHRASING TO USE TO DESCRIBE MICHAEL COHEN’S CONVICTION TO THE JURY. HE IS EXPRESSING CONCERN, AS IS DONALD TRUMP’S, ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN’S GUILT, WHAT HE HAS PLED GUILTY TO, WHAT HE’S BEEN CONVICTED OF COULD BE USED AND E, THEY THE TO INONALD ID THAT. JUSTRT OF,, T MERCHAN IS SAYING IN THIS FROM OUR GREAT NOTES FROM THE TEAM HERE, HE SAYS, IT SEEMS TO ME RIGHT NOW WE ARE REALLY PLAYING WITH FIRE, GETTING CLOSE TO THAT, MEANING THE JURY COULD INFER TRUMP’S GUILT BECAUSE OF MICHAEL COHEN. SO THEY ARE DEBATING WHAT SORT OF WORDS TO USE, WHETHER THEY USE THAT HE PARTICIPATED IN CRIMES THAT WAS CONVICTED OF CRIME. SO, AGAIN, IT SEEMS SO SMALL OUT. BUT AGAIN, EVERY SINGLE WORD HERE MATTERS. IN THE LAST THING THAT DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM WANTS RIGHT NOW IS FOR THE JURY TO LOOK AT CONVICTED COHEN AND LOOK AT THE ASSOCIATION HE HAD WITH DONALD TRUMP AND SAY DONALD TRUMP MUST BE GUILTY, TOO. SO THAT’S WHY THEY ARE PLAYING WITH THE WORDING TO ENSURE THAT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN. THE OTHER CONCERN, PROXY AND TO LIVIA’S POINT HERE, OUR TEAM IS DOING SUCH A FABULOUS JOB IN COURT OF KEEPING US UPDATED. SO TIM, I’D LOVE TO GET YOUR TAKE HERE ON THE FACT THAT ACCORDING TO OUR TEAM, THE JUDGE ECHOED THE DEFENSE’S ABOUT TUT THERY POTENOOKING TRR AND FINDING TRUMP GUILTY BY PROXY. >> WELL, THE JURY INSTRUCTIONS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE CASE AT THIS, THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY CASES GET OVERTURNED, IMPROPER INSTRUCTIONS. AND THE JUDGE KNOWS THAT THE JURY IN THIS EVIDENCE HAS BEEN ADMITTED SO FAR, IT’S NOT CLEAR THEY GOT. MICHAEL COHEN IS A CONVICTED FELON. HE PLED TO CERTAIN AND THE JUDGE IS CORRECT, DONALD TRUMP, WHAT HE PLED TO CALL ON AS FAR AS HIS CHARGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ON TRIAL FOR. AND HE IS EQUALLY SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT THE JURY COULD SAY, WELL, HE PLED TO THESE FINANCE LAWS, S NALD TR, THAT’S NOT LAW. AND SY, WILLF, THIS IS A CRIMINAL CASE. WILLFULNESS IS AN ELEMENT OF THE OFFENSE IT’S THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF CANDOR THAT A JURY HAS TO FIND. AND SOOU CAN’T SAY CRIMINALLYREA >> IT’S FULNESS THA IN TTATUTE. AND WILLFULNESS, IT SOUNDS LIKE, IS WHERE JUDGE MARSHAWN LAND THAT ON THAT LANGUAGE. ISN’T THAT RIGHT? OLIVIA JUDGE MARCHAN SAID HE WOULD RESERVE HIS DECISION ABOUT WHETHER TO INCLUDE WILLFUL IN THE JURY CHARGE AND THIS IS ALL IN TERMS OF HOW HE ACTED RIGHT. WAS IT WILLFULLY WAS IT CRIMINALLY, WAS IT UNLAWFULLY CORRECT? HE’S RESERVING TO RULE ON THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE WHEN THEY HAVE MOVED TO ANOTHER LEGAL ISSUE NOW. BUT ONE THAT IS SO CRITICAL, KATE, AND THAT IS ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY. AND WHAT PROSECUTORS WANT HERE IS AN INSTRUCTION TO THE THAT DONALD TRUMP CAN BE FOUND GUILTY BECAUSEHER OPLE’S ACTHAT U THESORDS TO BE FALSIFIED, EVEN THOUGH HE PERSONALLY DID NOT ENTER THEM INTO THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION SYSTEM HIMSELF, DID NOT PERSONAL LEAVE, WRITE THE MICHAEL COHEN INVOICES HIMSELF THAT HESED THEM BE CREATE THAT’S W AND WHAT THEY ARE ARGUING, PROSECUTORS, THEY’RE SAYING THIS IS NECESSARY BECAUSE IN DONALD TRUMP’S OPENING STATEMENT FROM HIS ATTORNEY, THEY POINTED THAT DONALD TRUMP PERSONALLY DID NOT WRITE THOSE RECORDS. ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY. IT IS LEGAL. IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, BUT IT IS CRITICAL IF THE JURY IS GOING TO FINDLTYCORDSHER PEOPLE CREAT. >>INLY. AND TIM, YOU’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS AS WELL FROM ONE AND YOU’VE BEEN WATCHING ALL OF THIS PLAY OUT. WE KNOW THAT THE JURY JUST LEFT AFTER SEEING THIS SORT OF FIERY MOMENT IN COURT WITH COSTELLO, THE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, GAVE SERIOUS TESTIMONY. COHEN. WASNT FROMAT WEROM MIC AND SO YOU WATCH ALL OF THIS, TIM, WHAT WAS WHAT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING, IMPORTANT PIECE OF TESTIMONY THAT YOU HEARD? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, I DIDN’T GET TO WATCH IT LIVE BECAUSE IT’S NOT ON TV, BUT CLEARLY, COSTELLO WASIS ATTORNEY. AND ATS NG TO CUTL FOR STELLO OR, FOR HE SAID, DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION AGAINST DONALD TRUMP? THAT’S WHO THEY WANT TO GO AFTER. IF YOU HAVE IT NOW, I CAN GET YOU A GREAT DEAL. AND WHAT DID COHEN SAY THE TIME? I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING. IF HE WOULD HAVE HAD SOMETHING AT THE TIME, HE WOULD HAVE DISCLOSED IT. AND WHAT WE DO TO ALL OF OUR CLIENTS WHENOU’RE CAUG AND YOU’RE IN THE TRAP. THE WAY TO GET OUT OF THE TRAP ,YOU COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS. HE DID NOT DO THAT. IN FACT HE GAVE STATEMENTS THAT WERE CLEARLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE TESTIFIED IN THIS TRIAL. AND ROBERT COHEN’S AN OFFICER OF THE COURT. HE’S ATTORNEY. HE SAID HE HAD HIS PARTNER WHO WAS PRESENT A ETING. SOIS CREH AND SO IT DOES COME DOWN TO AN ISSUE OF CREDIBILITY FOR YOU AND MANY WONDERING HOW THAT HOW THE JURY WILL PERCEIVE THAT AS WELL. OLIVIA RUBIN, TIM JANSEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. KNOW WE’LL BE TALKIM ASSOCIATED WITH THE AND WAIT ALMOST A DAY BEFORE TAKING IT ALL DOWN? WE HAVE THE DETAILS ON THAT. ALSO, WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM TURKS AND CAICOS.

A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET’S INTO IT LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH EDWARD OUR MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. YOU START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. NOW, THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. >> ALL RIGHT. PRESIDENT BIDEN LASHING OUT AT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AFTER ITS TOP PROSECUTOR SOUGHT ARREST WARRANTS FOR TOP ISRAELI OFFICIALS. BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, THE COURT’S CHIEF PROSECUTOR, SAYING THAT LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND HAMAS, INCLUDING THE PRIME MINISTER, COMMITTED WAR CRIMES IN GAZA. NETANYAHU REACTING TO THE NEWS THIS MORNING ON "G I THINKT THE S T STECAUSE HE’S REALLY TUG THE ICC INTO A PARIAH INSTITUTION. PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. THEY SEE IT AS A POLITICIZED WELL IN WASHINGTON TODAY, SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN SAYS THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS READY TO WORKCONGRESS ON A BIAN BASIS TOND TO THIS DECISION. >> HERE’S ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT. >> HI, KATE. WELL, SOME STRONG WORDS FROM ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU REGARDING THAT ICC REQUEST FOR AN ARREST WARRANT. NOW, IF BY A PANEL OF THREE JUDGES, THE CASE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO THEN PROCEED. THESE ARREST WARRANTS WOULD THEN BE ISSUED FOR THEM. NO WESTERN STYLE DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN ISSUED AN ICC ARREST WARRANT. SO IF THIS DOES BECOME THE FIRST, IT WILL SHOCK ISRAEL AND ITS ALLIES, INCLUDING THE U.S.. NOW, JUST FOR SOME CONTEXT, YOU KNOW, THE IMMEDIATE FOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS UNDER ANY ICC ARREST WOULD, BE THAT THE COURT’S 124 M STLD BE R A LEG OBLION TO ARRESTSE OFALS IF THEY TRAVELED TO ANY OF THOSE COUNTRIES. NOW, IF THE COURT FINDS ENOUGH OF THE CRIMES, IT CAN THEN SUMMON THE SUSPECT TO APPEAR AT THE COURT CAN ALSO ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT, RELYING ON M COUNTRIMAKE ARREST, AAY, THE ICC. TPECT SO THAT MEANS THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME RESTRICTIONS ON WHERE NETANYAHU CAN TRAVEL. THEN THERE WOULD BE A PRETRIAL ,THEN A TRIAL BEFORE JUDGES IN WHICH THE PROSECUTION MUST PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS GUILTY OF THESE CRIMES. >> ALL RIGHT. BRITT CLENNETT IN TEL AVIV, OUR THANKS, AS ALWAYS, TO YOU. ALSO, AFTER WIDESPREA CONDEMNATION, ISRAEL HAS REVERSED COURS AND RD BRASTING EQUNT THAT ITHAD SEIZEE ASSOCIATED PRESS. NOW, ISRAELI OFFICIALS SEIZED THIS EQUIPMENT AFTER ACCUSING THE NEWS ORGANIZATION OF VIOLATING A NEW MEDIA LAW BY PROVIDING IMAGES TO AL-JAZEERA. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ASKED THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO REVERSE ITS DECISION. I OF COMCATIONS ANNOUNCED TRDER THAT THE EQUIPMENT BE RETURNED. >> ALL RIGHT. FORMERDENT DONAL TRUMP AND THENED O ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT USED LANGUAGE THAT MIRRORS NAZI GERMANY, SUGGESTING THERE WILL BE A UNIFIED RACE IF HE WINS THIS 2024 ELECTION. THE WORDS UNIFIED APPEAR AS OF A HYPOTHETICAL NEWS HEADLINE THAT ANNOUNCED TRUMP’S HYPOTHETICAL VICTORY IN 2024. THE NARRATOR THE VIDEO ASKING WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DONALD TRUMP’S WIN. FORORE, I WBRINGBCD RI. BEING HERE WITH US.MUCH FOR SO I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WONDERING RIGHT NOW, LOOK, THIS WAS UP FOR A LONG TIME, MORE THAN 18 HOURS ON HIS ACCOUNT. HOW IS HIS CAMPAIGN EXPLAINING THAT? >> WELL, THEY’RE SAYING IT WAS A MISTAKE BY A STAFFER WHO WHO POSTED IT WHEN IT WAS CREATED BY SDE OF HE WAS IN COURT.WHI LE OF POIN ON. ONE IS HE DID HAVE ACCESS TO HIS PHONE WHILE HE WAS IN COURT. SO IT’S POSSIBLE IT WAS BEING REVIEWED AND THE STAFFER DID IT. >> DEFENSE DOES IT ENTIRELY GET YOU OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS? LOTS OF THINGS IN CAMPAIGNS ARE POSTED BY STAFFERS. THEY DID THEY DID DISAVOW IT AND KIND TURN THE TABLES AND THEN ULTIMATELY TOOK IT DOWN. SO IT APPEARS THAT THE RECOGNIZED WHY IT WAS POTENTIALLY PROBLEMATIC AFTER IM BUT THE DEFENSE OF THE STAFFER DOING, IT IS WHAT THEY’RE STICKING WITH NOW AND THE CAMPAIGN IS NOT TELLING US WHO THE STAFFER IS OR OR IF THERE’S ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR A SAID STAFFER. CERTAINLY FOD PRESIDENT BIDEN >> ARE THEY REACTING? WELL, THEY’RE SAYING IT’S PART OF A PATTERN OF RHETORIC AND STATEMENTS THAT ARE SHOWING SYMPATHY FOR FOR, FOR HITLER’S GERMANY. AND THEY LIKE THEY LIKE THE CONTRAST THAT THAT PROVIDES AND SOMETHING TIDENT BI TALKETEDLYOUT INPAIGN WATO THENG AMPAIG, HE ALWAYS SAID WAS LAUNCHEDONSE TO THE CHARLOTTESVILLE RALLY. SO IS THIS IS TO THEM A RECKLESS MOVE ON THE PART OF THE OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND AGAIN, PART OF PART OF WHAT SEE IS A CONTINUED PATTERN OF STATEMENTS OR IMAGES THAT APPEAR TO TO BE AT LEAST SOMEWHAT FRIENDLY TO SOME OF THE MOST HORRIBLE HUMANS IN IN AMERICAN HISTORY. >> CERTAINLY. AND RICK, I DO WANT TO SWITCH GEARS. YOU WILL FOR JUST A MOMENT HERE. CAN YOU BRING US UP TO DATE ON WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS NOW SAYING ABOUT ABOUT CONTRACEPTIVES AND POSSIBLY RESTRICTING THEM? >> YEAH, I LOOK, WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THE FULL VIDEO TO GET RELEASED BY THE LOCAL TV STATIONDID IT.T HE H ASKED IN AL INTERVIEW WHAT, IF ANY, LIMITS HE WANT TO HAVE IMPOSED ON ON CONTRACEPTIVES. AND HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE A POLICY SOON AND THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD POLICY. IT WASN’T A NO. SINCE THAT TIME, HIS CAMPAIGN HAS COME OUT AND CLARIFIED THAT HE HAS NEVER CALLED FOR ANY LIMITS ON, BIRTH CONTROL OR CONTRACEPTIVE CONTRACEPTIVES IN ANY IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM, AND THAT THIS IS BEING CONCOCTED BY THE BIDEN TO DO SOMETHING. BUT AS FOR THE VIDEO THAT’S OUT THERE NOW, IT’S A PRETTY CLEAR QUESTION THAT DID NOT HAVE A VERY CLEAR ANSWER ON IT. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, I KNOW YOU’LL B US TO SPEED ON THATON AS WE SEE THAT FIDEO. CK KLEIN, THANK YOU M FOR JOINING US. ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOU. ALL RIGHT. TURNING NOW TO THE LATEST ON THE FIVE AMERICANS DETAINED IN TURKS AND CAICOS. A JUDGE HEARD BOTH DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION ARGUMENTS TODAY AND WILL ISSUE HIS SENTENCING WITHIN SEVEN DAYS. BUT A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF JUST RETURNED FROM THE ISLAND NATION AFTER MEETING WITH THE GOVERNORS OFFICE PLEADING FOR LENIENCY ON THESE AMERICANS OR TO HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS ENTIRELY DIFFERENTLY. CONGRESSMAN GUY RUSSIAN FOLLOWERS JOINING ME NOW. AND HE WAS ACTUALLY THERE AS PART OF THIS DELEGATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. SO YOU JUST RETURNED FROM THIS TRIP TO TURKS AND CAICOS. IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING BOTH PUSHING FOR THE RELEASE OF THESE AMERICANS, BUT ALSO TO HELP SEE IF SITUATIONS LIKE THIS ENTIRELY CAN BE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY. BRING US UP TO SPEED ON WHAT HAPPENED. >> THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT. WE WERE JUST SEARCHING FOR A RESOLUTION HERE. ARE NOINED.RRICANS THA WAS REL BECAUSE HD TE CANCER AND ITCOMPASSI RELEASE BACK TO THE UNITED STATES BUT THE FOUR THAT STILL REMAIN, WE JUST WANT A RESOLUTION HERE. IF LIKE THIS OCCURRED WHERE YOU HAD TWO ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION IN THE UNITED STATES OR GOING THROUGH A BORDER AND CUSTOMS, THIS WOULD BE HANDLED WITH WITH A FINE, NO JAIL TIME AND YOU WOULD BE SENT BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN HERE. ON THE OTHER HAND, THESE FOUR AND FIVE, THESE FIVE AMERICANS WERE TRAVELING FROM TURKS AND CAICOS BACK TO THE UNITED STATES, HAD MINIMAL AMOUNTS OF AMMUNITION. WE’RE TRACKING TWO ROUNDS. IN ONE CASE, A HANDFUL ON THE OTHER, AND 20 ROUNDS IN ANOTHER CASE. THEY DID NOT KNOW THESE ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION WERE IN THERE LUGGAGEAND THEN THEY’RE FACIN INF JUST A G SENTTO THEITED SHEY’RE F A MA MINIMUM SENTENCE OF 12 YEARS IN PRISON, A PRISON, BY THE WAY, THAT THE U.N. FLAGGED FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. SO THIS IS TERRIFYING. IT’S TO THE POINT NOW WHERE EVERY THIRD WEEK, AN IS DETAINED WRONGFUTURKSCAICOS THI TE NUM ARE STAGGERING. THIS CERTAINLY IS A TERRIFYING SITUATION. AND WHILE THEY MAY BE ADMITTING GUILT TO EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE ACCUSED OF, WE ARE HEARING STORIES RIGHT THAT I FORGOT. THESE WERE IN MY BAG. I HADN’T USED THIS BAG SINCE MY LAST HUNTING TRIP. IT DOES SEEM LIKE THIS ISN’T SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING BY ACCIDENT. BUT IT IS STILL AGAINST THE LAW IN THIS OTHER COUNTRY. SO HOW YOU ADVISING THAT THEY WALK THAT LINE AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE THEIR OWN LAWS AND UPHOLD THEM? BUT ALSO, ARE YOU ASKING FOR A BREAK FOR JUST AMERICAN CITIZENS OR SHOULD THIS BE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE BOARD? WELL, NO. WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU, THE TURKS AND CAICOS GOVERNMENT DIFFEREN FOR NON-ANS. FOR EXAMPS C IN WITH RO IN HER LUGGAGE AND SHE WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE MUCH AS THE AMERICANS WOULD DO WITH A FINE AND BEING SENT BACK TO HER OWN HER HOME COUNTRY. SO IT COMES TO NON-U.S. CITIZENS. THERE’S A DIFFERENT STANDARD. THE AND CAICOS GOVERNM IS T AMERIZENS,ING IN FRONTHEIRY INATELY. AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM HERE. ADDITIONALLY, 12 YEAR MANDATORY MINIMUM IS UNHEARD OF FOR A WHAT’S A STRICT LIABILITY CASE. THAT’S WHEN YOU DON’T T’S CALLED MENS REA OR A GUILTY MIND OR EVIL INTENT. >> THERE NO INTENT HERE TO BREAK THE LAW. ALL THESE AMERICANS ADMITTED THAT IT WAS ACCIDENT THE ROUNDS WERE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT IN THEIR LUGGAGE. THEY WEREN’T SELLING ARMS ON THE STREETS OF TURKS AND CAICOS. THEY WEREN’T IMPORTING THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION. THESE WERE CLEARLY MISTAKES. THEIR FACE, A 12 YEAR MANDATORY SENTENCE IS INHUMANE AND. THAT’S NT IS NOT T WIT WIT IN THEBEAN O VELOPEPED WORLD FOR THEM, FOR THAT MATTER. SO JUST BECAUSE THE LENGTH OF SENTENCE IS INCREDIBLY AND HOW THIS LAW IS BEING APPLIED TO AMERICANS, THESE ARE THE OTHER NATIONALITIES SHOWS YOU THAT THEY ARE THAT’ROBLEMCANBORATE THAT? WELL, I OPERATE ON THAT FOR US A LITTLE BIT. WHY, IN YOUR OPINION BASED ON JUST BEING THERE, DO YOU THINK THEY ARE, AS YOU PUT IT, TARGETING AMERICANS HERE, AGAIN, NOTING THAT THIS IS A COUNTRY AND A NATION THAT RELIES HEAVILY ON TOURISM. >> THEY’RE TOTALLY ON THE UNITED STATES. AND IT’S A BRITISH PROTECTORATE, A BRITISH BRITISH TERRITORY. BUT THEY SO TIED THE STATES HEY USETHE U.S. D AM Y OF THEIR ECONOMY. AND FROM THAT TOURISM. THE UNITED STATES REPRESENTS SOMETHING LIKE 86% OF TOURISTS COMING IN THAT COUNTRY. AMERICANS, 75% OF THE REAL ESTATE OR HOMON THE THED TO USE’S I L PRESOING ON ON THE ISLAND. THERE’S BASICALLY THREE RULING FAMILIES OF TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS, AND THEY’RE ALL JOCKEYING FOR POSITION IN THE POWER. THE FAMILY THAT MOST RECENTLY CAME INTO POWER.THAT FACTION RAT INTERNAL POLITICAL PRESSURE THAT IS FORCING THEM. I’M NOT JUSTIFYING THIS, BUT IT’S HAVING THE PREMIER IN THAT RULING CLASS IN TURKS GOES TARGET AMERICANS IN SHOW TO THE SHOW TO THEIR THAT THEY’RE GOING AFTER AMERICANS AND I CAN TELL YOU WHEN WAS DOWN THERE FOR TWO DAYS. THERE IS A SENTIMENT OF ANTI-AMERICANISM THAT WE TALKING TO THE BUSINESS COMMEADERS. WE WERE TALKING TO THE GOVERNMENT. WE WERE GETTING IT. THEY WERE ROLLING THEIR EYES AT US, CROSSING THEIR ARMS AT US, AND MAKING INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS ABOUT AMERICANS. SO THIS IS NOT A GOVERNMENT THAT IS FAVORABLE TO AMERICANS . THE FACT THAT THEY’RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON US FOR THEIR ECLSO, ENT SO LIKE 7OF IM THEY’RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON US. AND TO TURN AROUND AND TREAT FIVE AMERICAN CITIZENS THIS WAY IS EGREGIOUS. >> I KNOW THAT ONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS HAS A HEARING SET FOR FRIDAY, SO I’M HOPING THAT CONGRESSMAN RUSH AND PAULA, YOU WILL KEEP US UPDATED AND JOIN US AGAIN AND WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR APPRECIATE IT. >> OF COURSE. ALL RIGHT. COMING UP NEXT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

ABC NEWS THIS IS STARTING TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES START HERE. THAT’S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU SEE COMING. MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS HI EVERYONE. I’M KAYNA WHITWORTH. R TOP STORY AT THIS H THE JUDGE IN THE HISTORIC HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TRIAL AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP NOW HOLDING WHAT’S CALLED A PRE CHARGE CONFERENCE TO FINALIZE THESE INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO THE JURY. SO THE DEFENSE AND THE PROSECUTION IN ATTENDANCE RIGHT NOW, AND THEY BOTH HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON LANGUAGE IS OF COURSE, COMES AFTER TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM RESTED THEIR CASE IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED HUSH MONEY TRIAL EARLIER TODAY WITH TRUMP’S LAWYERS. THEIR SECOND AND FINAL WITNESS, BOB COSTELLO. THE JURY HAS NOW BEEN DISMISSED D AS THEGE SIGNALSSSE COULD B THH BY NEXK. IN FACT, A WEEK FROM TODAY SPECIFICALLY. I WANT TO BRING IN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA, WHO’S OUTSIDE COURT, ALONG WITH CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR TIM JANSEN. SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. AND, OLIVIA, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE KEEPING UP TO DATE VERY CLOSELY WITH THE TEAM THAT IS IN THE COURTROOM NOW. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE AT THIS MOMENT THEY’RE ARGUING OVER HOW THEY WILL USE THE LANGUAGE OR DO THEY USE THE LANGUAGE HERE OF THIS, ACCOMPLISH LIABILITY. >> SO SO WHERE DOES THAT STAND AT THIS MOMENT? >> WELL, TO SORT OF EMPHASIZE HOW QUICKLY IS MOVING FROM ONE TOPIC TO ANOTHER AS THEY TICK THROUGH DIFFERENT INSTRUCTION THEY HAVE N MOV TO E AND DOMP’S I AS PTHIS S AND TO, YOU KNOW, READ OUT A BIT OF WHAT THE TEAM INSIDE IS REPORTING SO DILIGENTLY AMONGST THE VERY DENSE LEGAL ARGUMENT JUDGE MERCHAN SAYING HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT AN DITIONUMP’SYS POSEDIS INT TO DEFRAUD. THE DEFENSE IS SAYING THAT THAT INSTRUCTION ESTABLISH BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT TO SEPARATE THAT DONALD TRUMP HAD, BUT THE PROSECUTORS HAD PUSHED ON THAT A BIT, SAYING THAT THEY WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE REWRITING THE STATUTE. AND JUDGE MERCHAN APPEARING TO AGREE WITH THAT SIGNALING IT WOULD BE REWRITING THE STATUTE IF HE WAS TO ADVISE THEM ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTENT, THAT THERE NEEDED TO BE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES. SO THAT IS THE SORT OF DEBATE THAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, THE JURY IS NOT FOR THIS. DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT FOR THIS OF THE TEAM INSIDE, NOTING THAT AT TIMES HIS EYES ARE CLOSED, AT TIMES HE APPEARTR ONLE IN F THEM,ME OFPPEAR TS NGST THERE, YOU CAN SOMETIMES SEE WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS SLIPPING THROUGH. OFTENTIMES, THEY HAVE LARGE PHOTOS ON THEM, LARGE PICTURES INDICATING THAT THEY COULD BE NEWS CLIPPINGS, THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY WITH THIS WITH THESE ARGUMENTS, WHICH, AGAIN, ARE INHE WEEDSNEW TATE CRIL STATU, THAT IT WOULD BE HARD, QUITE FRANKLY, FOR ANYONE TO FOLLOW ALONG, LET ALONE A CRIMINAL DEFENDANT WHO IS NOT A LAWYER, CERTAINLY AND. SO, TIM, I WOULD LOVE TO GET YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS IS A LITTLE OBVIOUS HERE. TALKING ABOUT THE JUDGE RULING, THE STATE DOESN’T HAVE TO PROVE TWO SEPARATE INTENSE HERE IN THESE JURY INSTRUCTIONS. >> WELL, OF COURSE, DEFENSE GOIT IN EVERY PART OF ANY JURY INSTRUCTION. THEY’RE GOING TO WANT TO ADD INTENT, WHICH COULD CONFUSE THE JURY. NORMALLY, THE JURY INSTRUCTIONS ARE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. THIS CASE IS NOT A STRAIGHTFORWARD CASE. SO YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE THE DEFENSE INTENT.ANDES, MORE YOOING TO HA THE PRION, NO JUDGE INTENT ALREADY BEEN BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE JURY INSTRUCTIONS AND THE JURY CAN FOLLOW IT. THESE ARE HIGHLY MATTERS. MOST DEFENDANTS HAVE NO IDEA HAING. DEFER TO LAWYER THIS UALLY TEAM WILL HAVE ONE LAWYER WHO HAS PREPARED THE JURY INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE BEGINNING. THAT’S ALL THEY WORKED ON. SO WHEN THEY GET TO THIS POINT, THEY KNOW EXACTLY THEY WANT. IN MANY TIMES IT HAS TO BE BASED ON EVIDENCE. >> HAD IT BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE TRIAL, CERTAINLY. AND AGAIN, EVERY WORD MATTERS. AND IT HAS TO SIMPLUGHFOR T TO, D TO TODAY. OLIVIA, IF WE COULD JUST FOR A MOMENT, BOUNCE BACK TO THIS ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY HERE. IT IS INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE PROSECUTORS SAYING THIS IS A NECESSARY PART OF THE INSTRUCTION BECAUSE PROSECUTORS . GHT, OLIVIA, THAT THETRUMP HIMSF DIDN’T ACTUALLY ENTER THESE ACCOUNTING RECORDS. HE DID NOT. AND AS YOU POINTED OUT, HIS DEFENSE TODD BLANCHE TOLD THAT TO THE JURY THANK DONALD TRUMP DID NOT ENTER ANY BUSINESS RECORDS INTO THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION SYSTEM. HE DIDN’T WRITE THE INVOICES THAT MICHAEL COLLINS ADMITTED. SO THEY DISTANCED HIM FROM THESE RECORDS. BUT OF COURSE, WHAT PROSECUTORS ARE TRYING USE IS PART OF THE LAW THAT ESSENTIALLY CAN FIND SOMEONE CULPABLE FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S ACTIONS. SO THAT SORT OF, YOU KNOW, THE LIABLE ASPECT OF IT AND THEY NEED THAT INSTRUCTION IN THERE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYINGICT DONALD TRUMP ON CHARGES THAT. BUT IN SOME CASES FOR RECORDS THAT HE NEVER TOUCHED, THAT HE LIKELY NEVER AND THE JURY NEVER SAW EVIDENCE THAT HE TOUCHED OR THOUGHT MICHAEL COHEN’S INVOICES OR THE INTERNAL LEDGERS THAT WERE WITHIN THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION SYSTEM. THERE WERE OTHER PEO TO STAND AND SAID Y ENTE LEGALNSES I THE ANDTILL THEY NEED THAT INSTRUCTION TO GET DONALD TRUMP CONVICTED ON THOSE RECORDS, BECAUSE, AGAIN, AS THEY HAVE ARGUED AS PART OF THE STATUTE, CAUSED THOSE RECORDS TO BE FALSIFIED, EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T PERSONALLY FALSIFY SOME OF THEM HIMSELF. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND TIM, I’D LOVE TO GO BACK WITH YOU ON HOW THE JUDGE IS GOING OVER HOW COHEN’S GUILTY PLEAS SHOULD ACTUALLY BE DESCRIBED HERE. I FOUND THIS INTERESTING BECAUSE GOING INTO THIS, WE KNEW THAT MICHAEL COHEN’S CREDIBILITY WAS QUESTIONABLE AND MANY THOUGHT, OH, WELL, HIS TESTIMONY MAY NOT STAND UP BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL QUESTION HIS CREDIBILITY. BUT HERE THERE’S CONCERNED ABOUT HOW HS SHOUL BE DESCRIBED. DID HE PARTICIPATE IN CRIMES OR WAS HE CONVICTED IN CRIMES? AND THE DEFENSE IS SAYING THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP COULD POTENTIALLY BE CONVICTED BY PROXY, BY BEING CLOSE TO MICHAEL COHEN. >> YEAH, THAT’S THAT’S ALWAYS A PROBLEM. THE JURY MIGHT GET CONFUSED AND BELIEVE THAT WHEN MICHAEL COHEN SAID I PLAN AND I WAS CONVICTED, WAS HE CONVICTED OF WHAT DONALD IS CHARGED WITH NOW, I WOULD BE CONVICTED AND PLEAD TO SOMETHING COMPLETELY SEPARATE, WHICH IS THE CASE. ITOMPLETELYARATE, IT WASN’T REALO ANE JUDGE IPERLY ING THA JURY INR GUILT BY PROXY, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY VIOLATION. SO THAT JURY INSTRUCTION HAS TO REALLY BE CLEAR. HE MIGHT INSERT LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT MICHAEL COHEN PLED GUILTY AND WAS SENTENCED FOR A CRIME. NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CASE, WHICH PROBABLY SHOULD BE DONE. AND THE ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO DO THAT IN THIS CASE B THO EVIDEALDUMP KNEW ABOUT ORCHE LEDGERS, YOU KNOW, ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY IS USUALLY ONE, THE DRIVER OF A BANK ROBBERY WHO DOESN’T GO IN, BUT THEY GO IN AND ROB AND SHOOT PEOPLE. AND ALL YOU DID WAS ROB, RIGHT? ALL YOU DID WAS DRIVE THE CAR. YOU’RE STILL LIABLE UNDER ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY. IT’S MUCH MORE DIFFICULT IN A CASE IN A WHITE COLLAR CASE WHERE THEY HAVE DONALD TRUMP NOT KNOWING WHAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS DOING. AND THEY AGREEDHAT HE DIDN’T SEE THE RECORDS OR PARTICIPATE S ERT COSESTIFI TO. TIM JANSEN, OLIVIA RUBIN, THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU. AGAIN, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. WE’RE KEEPING OUR AUDIENCE UP TO DATE MINUTE BY MINUTE IN THIS TRIAL BECAUSE OF OUR EXCELLENT TEAM OUT THERE. SO OLIVIA AND TIM, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> COMING UP NEXT ON ABC NEWS LIVE, WHY DID DONALD TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT CITE LANGUAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE?

NETANYAHU REACTING TO THE NEWS THIS MORNINGN, "GMA".>>NKTHE PRS BECAS REALLY TURNING THE ICC INTO A PARIAH INSTITUTION. PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. THEY SEE IT AS A POLITICIZED THING. WELL, IN WASHINGTON TODAY, TO WORCONGRE NTONYINKEN SAYS TNE BI BASIS TO RE TO THIS DECISION. HERE’S ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT . HI, KATE. WELL, SOME STRONG WORDS FROM PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU REGARDING THAT ICC REQUEST, AN ARREST WARRANT. NOW, IF APPROVED BY A PANEL OF THREE JUDGES, THE CASE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO THEN PROCEED. THESE ARREST WARRANTS WOULD THEN BE ISSUED FOR THEM. NO WESTERN STYLE DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN ISSUED AN ICC ARREST WARRANT. SO IF THIS DOES BECOME THE FIRST, IT WILL SHOCK ISRAEL AND ITS INCLUDING THE U.S.. NOW, JUST FOR SOME CONTEXT, YOU KNOW, THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM FOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS UNDER ANY ICC ARREST WOULDT THECOURT’ MEME BE UNDER A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO ARREST THESE OFFICIALS IF THEY TRAVELED TO ANY OF THOSE COUNTRIES. NOW, IF THE COURT FINDS ENOUGH EVIDENCE OF THE CRIMES, IT CAN THEN SUMMON THE SUSPECT TO A VOLUNTARILY AT THE COURT CAN ALSO ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT, RELYING ON MEMBER COUNT THE ARRI SAYAND TRANO THE ICC.T BE SOME RESTRICTIONS ON WHERE NETANYAHU CAN TRAVEL. THEN THERE WOULD BE A PRETRIAL AND THEN A TRIAL BEFORE JUDGES IN WHICH THE PROSECUTION MUST PROVE REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS GUILTY OF THESE CRIMES. >> ALL RIGHT.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP POSTED AND THEN DELETED A VIDEO ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT USED LANGUAGE THAT GERMANY SUGGESTING THERE WILL BE A UNIFIED RACE IF. HE WINS THIS 2024 ELECTION. THE WORDS UNIFIED APPEAR T OF A S HEADLINE THAT TRUMP’S HYPOTHETICAL VICTORY IN 2020 FOR THE NARRATOR IN THE VIDEO ASKING WHAT AFTER DONALD TRUMP’S WIN? >> FOR MORE, I WANT TO BRING IN ABC POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. RICK, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. SO I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WONDERING RIGHT NOW, LOOK, THIS VIDEO WAS UP FOR A LONG TIME, MORE THAN HOURS ON HIS ACCOUNT. HOW IS HIS CAMPAIGN EXPLAINING THAT? >> WELL, THEY’RE SAYING IT WAS A MISTAKE BY A STAFFER W POTT WAS CREATEDBY SOMEODE THE N THAT HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS IN COURT. A COUPLE OF POINTS ON THAT. ONE IS HE DID HAVE ACCESS TO HIS PHONE WHILE HE WAS IN COURT. >> SO IT’S POSSIBLE IT WAS BEING REVIEWED AND THE STAFFER DID IT. DEFENSE. DOES IT ENTIRELY GET YOU OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE. LOTS OF THINGS IN CAMPAIGNS ARE POSTED BY STAFFERS. THEY DID THEY DID DISAVOW IT AND KIND OF TURNED THE TABLES AND THEN ULTIMATELY TOOK IT DOWN. SO IT APPEARS THAT THEY RECOGNIZED WHY WAS POTENTIALLY PROBLEMATIC AFTER SOME TIME. DOIN IS WHSTA THICKING WITH NOW. AND THE CAMPAIGN IS NOT TELLING US WHAT THE STAFFER IS OR OR IF THERE’S ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR SAID STAFFER. >> CERTAINLY FODDER FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS CAMPAIGN. HOW ARE THEY REACTING? WELL, THEY’RE SAYING IT’S PART OF A PATTERN OF RHETORIC AND STATEMENTS THAT ARE SHOWING SYMPATHY FOR FOR, FOR FOR GERMANY. AND THEY LIKE THEY LIKE THE CONTRAST THAT PROVIDES AND SOMETHING THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS TALKED REPEATEDLY ABOUT IN HIS CAMPAIGN ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE CAMPAIGN, WHICH HE ALWAYS SAID WAS LAUNCHED IN RESPONSE, THE CHARLOTTESVILLE RALLY. SO THIS IS THIS IS TO THEM, THEYA C PATTERNPART THE OF THE T OF STATEMENTS OR IMAGES THAT TO TO TO BE AT LEAST SOMEWHAT FRIENDLY TO SOME OF THE MOST HORRIBLE HUMANS IN IN AMERICAN HISTORY, CERTAINLY A MOE.ICK, WSWITCHARS, IFL, FORJ OU BRING U DAT ONONALD TRUMP IS NOW SAYING ABOUT CONTRACEPTIVES AND POSSIBLY RESTRICTING THEM? >> YEAH, I MEAN, LOOK, WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THE FULL VIDEO TO GET RELEASED BY THE LOCAL TV STATION THAT DID IT BUT HE HE WAS ASKED IN A LOCAL INTERVIEW WHAT IF ANY LIMITS HE WOULD WANT TO HAVE IMPOSED ON ON CONTRACEPTIVE. AND HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE A POLICY OUT SOON AND THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD POLICY. IT A NO. SINCE THAT TIME, HIS CAMPAIGN HAS COME OUT AND CLARIFIED THAT HE HAS NEVER CALLED FOR ANY LIMITS ON BIRTH CONTROL OR CONTRACEPTIVE CONTRACEPTIVES IN ANY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, AND THAT THIS IS BEING CONCOCTED BY THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN TO DO SOMETHING. BUT AS FOR THE VIDEO THAT’S OUT THERE NOW, P QUESTION DID NOTVE E I KNOW BRING US UP TO SPEED ON THAT AS SOON AS WE SEE THAT FULL VIDEO. RICK KLEIN, YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TODAY. IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOU. ALL RIGHT. TURNING NOW TO THE LATEST ON THE FIVE AMERICANS DETAINED IN TURKS AND CAICOS. AND PRN ARGODAYAND WI HISINGIN N BUARTISAN JUST RETURNED FROM THE ISLAND NATION AFTER MEETING WITH THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE PLEADING FOR LENIENCY ON THESE AMERICANS OR TO HANDLE THESE SITUATIONS ENTIRELY DIFFERENTLY. CONGRESSMAN GUYANK YOU S. >> AND BUT ALSO TO SEE IF SITUATIONS LIKE THIS ENTIRELY CAN BE HAD TO BRING US UP TO SPEED ON WHAT HAPPENED. >> THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT. WE WERE JUST SEARCHING FOR A RESOLUTION HERE. WE WANT THE FOUR AMERICANS THAT ARE NOW DETAINED. ONE WAS RELEASED BECAUSE HE HAD TERMINAL CANCER AND IT WAS A COMPASSIONATE RELEASE BACK TO THE UNITED STATES. BUT THE FOUR THAT STILL REMAIN. WE JUST WANT A RESOLUTION HERE. IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS OCCURRED WHERE YOU HAD TWO ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION IN THE UNITED STATES GOING THROUGH A BORDER AND CUSTOMS, THIS WOULD BE HANDLED WITH WITH A FINE, NO JAIL TIME AND YOU WOULD BE SENT BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN HERE. ON THE OTHER HAND. THESE FOUR AND FIVE, THESE FIVE AMERICANS WERE TRAVELING FROM TURKS AND CAICOS BACK TO THE UNITED STATES, HAD MINIMAL AMOUNTS OF AMMUNITION. WE’RE TRACKING TWO ROUNDS. IN ONE CASE, A HANDFUL ON THE OTHER, AND 20 ROUNDS IN ANOTHER CASE. THEY DID NOT KNOW THESE ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION WERE IN THERE, THEIR LUGGAGE. AND THEN THEY’RE FACING NOW INSTEAD OF JUST A FINE BEING SENT BACK TO THE UNITED STATES, THEY’RE FACING A MANDATORY MINIMUM SENTENCE OF 12 YEARS IN PRISON, A PRISON, BY THE WAY, THAT THE U.N. HAS FLAGGED FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. SO THIS IS TERRIFYING. IT’S TO THE POINT NOW WHERE EVERY THIRD WEEK AN AMERICAN IS BEING DETAINED WRONGFULLY IN TURKS AND CAICOS EVERY THIRD WEEK. >> THAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING. THIS CERTAINLY IS A TERRIFYING SITUATION. AND WHILE THEY MAY BE GUILT TO EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE ACCUSED OF, WE ARE HEARING STORIES RIGHT? I FORGOT THESE WERE IN MY BAG. I HADN’T USED THIS BAG SINCE MY LAST HUNTING TRIP. IT DOES SEEM LIKE THIS ISN’T SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING BY ACCIDENT, BUT IT IS STILL AGAINST THE LAW IN THIS OTHER COUNTRY. SO HOW YOU ADVISING THAT THEY WALK THAT LINE AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE THEIR OWN AND UPHOLD THEM? BUT ALSO, ARE YOU ASKING FOR A BREAK FOR JUST AMERICAN CITIZENS OR SHOULD THIS BE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE BOARD? >> WELL, NO. WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU, THE TURKS AND CAICOS GOVERNMENT ,THAT THEY HANDLE THESE CASES DIFFERENTLY FOR NON-AMERICANS. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS BRAZILIAN THAT GOT CAUGHT INNOCENTLY WITH ROUNDS, HER LUGGAGE, AND SHE WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE MUCH AS THE AMERICANS WOULD DO WITH A FINE AND BEING SENT BACK TO HER OWN HER HOME COUNTRY. SO IT COMES TO NON-U.S. CITIZENS. THERE’S A DIFFERENT STANDARD. THE TURKS AND CAICOS GOVERNMENT IS TARGETING AMERICAN CITIZENS, PUTTING THEM IN FRONT OF THEIR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATELY. AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM HERE. ADDITIONALLY, 12 YEAR MANDATORY MINIMUM IS UNHEARD OF FOR A WHAT’S CALLED A STRICT LIABILITY CASE. THAT’S WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE CALLED MENS REA OR A GUILTY MIND OR EVIL INTENT. >> THERE WAS NO INTENT HERE TO BREAK THE LAW? ALL THESE AMERICANS ADMITTED THAT IT WAS ACCIDENT THAT ROUNDS WERE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT IN THEIR LUGGAGE. THEY WEREN’T SELLING ON THE STREETS OF TURKS AND CAICOS. THEY WEREN’T IMPORTING THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION. THESE WERE CLEARLY MISTAKES. THEIR FACE, A 12 YEAR MANDATORY SENTENCE IS INHUMANE AND NOT THAT IS QUITE CONGRUENT WITH IT . WITH OTHER NATIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN OR THE DEVELOPED DEVELOPED FOR THEM, FOR THAT MATTER. SO JUST BECAUSE THE LENGTH OF SENTENCE IS INCREDIBLY DRACONIAN AND HOW THIS LAW IS BEING APPLIED TO AMERICANS THESE ARE THE OTHER NATIONALITIES WE SHOWED YOU THAT THEY ARE TARGETING AMERICAN CITIZENS. >> THAT’S THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU ELABORATE THAT ON THAT FOR US A LITTLE BIT? WHY, IN YOUR OPINION, ON JUST BEING THERE, DO YOU THINK THEY ARE, AS YOU PUT IT, TARGETING AMERICANS HERE, AGAIN, NOTING THAT THIS IS A COUNTRY AND A NATION RELIES HEAVILY ON TOURISM. >> THEY’RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE UNITED STATES AND IT’S A BRITISH PROTECTORATE, A BRITISH BRITISH TERRITORY. BUT THEY’RE SO TIED IN THE UNITED STATES THAT THEY USE THE U.S. DOLLAR AS A FORM OF CURRENCY. TOURISM IS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR ECONOMY, AND FROM THAT TOURISM. THE UNITED STATES REPRESENTS SOMETHING LIKE 86% OF TOURISTS COMING IN THAT COUNTRY. AMERICANS OWN 75% OF THE REAL ESTATE OR 75% OF THE HOMES ON THE ISLAND. THEY’RE TIED TO US. BUT THERE’S INTERNAL POLITICAL PRESSURES GOING ON ON THE ISLAND. THERE’S BASICALLY RULING FAMILIES OF TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS, AND THEY’RE ALL FOR POSITION IN THE POWER IN THE FAMILY THAT MOST RECENTLY CAME INTO POWER OR THAT FACTION RAN ON A PLATFORM OF CRACKING DOWN TOURISTS, SPECIFICALLY AMERICAN. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT INTERNAL POLITICAL PRESSURE THAT IS FORCING THEM I’M NOT JUSTIFYING THIS, BUT IT’S HAVING THE PREMIER IN THAT RULING CLIQUE IN TURKS AND CAICOS TARGET AMERICANS IN SHOW TO THE SHOW TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS THAT THEY’RE GOING AFTER AMERICANS. AND I CAN TELL YOU WHEN, I WAS DOWN THERE FOR TWO DAYS. THERE IS A SENTIMENT OF ANTI-AMERICANISM ON THAT ISLAND. WE WERE TALKING TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY LEADERS. WE WERE TALKING TO GOVERNMENT. WE WERE GETTING IT. THEY WERE ROLLING THEIR EYES AT US, CROSSING THEIR ARMS AT US, AND MAKING INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS ABOUT AMERICANS. SO THIS IS NOT A GOVERNMENT THAT IS FAVORABLE TO AMERICANS . >> THE FACT THAT THEY’RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON US FOR THEIR ECONOMY ALSO, WE REPRESENT SOMETHING LIKE 75% OF IMPORTS INTO THAT COUNTRY. THEY’RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON US. AND TO TURN AROUND AND TREAT THE AMERICAN CITIZENS THIS WAY IS EGREGIOUS. >> KNOW THAT ONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS HAS A HEARING SET FOR THIS FRIDAY. SO HOPING THAT CONGRESSMAN RUSH AND PAULA, YOU WILL KEEP US UPDATED AND JOIN US AGAIN AND WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. APPRECIATE IT. >> OF COURSE. ALL RIGHT.

AND WILL STORMS HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN GOING. WE’VE SEEN STORMS EARLIER THIS MORNING AND NOW ANOTHER LINE IS STARTING TO MATERIALIZE FROM SIOUX CITY TO OMAHA MAKING WAY EASTWARD, WHICH HAS PROMPTED THIS TORNADO WATCH. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT. >> SO WHEN WE HAVE A TORNADO WATCH, IT MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES. BUT WHAT WE HAVE ISSUED FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE THIS EVENING IS A PDS WATCH, A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT MEANS NOT JUST ANY IF TWO OR HIGHER, EXTREMELY VIOLENT TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE, AND IN SOME CASES LIKELY THAT IS UNTIL 9 P.M. FOR THE AREA SHADED IN YELLOW THERE.

TODAY THE NEW DETAILS ARE NOW BEING ANNOUNCED ABOUT AMERICA’S SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL CELEBRATION IN PHILADELPHIA. AND IT’S GOING TO BE A MASSIVE MULTIYEAR EVENT. AND HERE TO DISCUSS IT ALL IS PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO. GOVERNOR, GOOD TO SEE YOU AND THANKS FOR BEING ON. >> HEY, GANG. GREAT TO BE WITH YOU. AND IT’S GOING TO BE MASSIVE. AND PHILLY’S GOING TO BE THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE IN 2026. >> DeMarco: AND WE’LL ALL BE WATCHING AND PARTYING WITH YOU. THIS IS A BIG ONE. TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT YOU HAVE LINED UP. >> LOOK, 2026 IS GOING TO BE A HUGE YEAR FOR US. WE’VE GOT EVERYTHING FROM THE WORLD CUP TO MARCH MADNESS AND WHAT WE’RE ANNOUNCING TODAY IS TED DEMOCRACY, A SERIES WHERE WE’RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR DEMOCRACY, THE WAY IT WAS FOUNDED HERE IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE AND SISTERLY AFFECTION AND THE IMPORTANT STORIES AND PEOPLE THAT SHAPED OUR DEMOCRACY OVER THE LAST 250 YEARS. YOU KNOW, THE STORY OF OUR GREAT NATION IS REALLY ORDINARY AMERICANS RISING UP, DEMANDING MORE, SEEKING JUSTICE AND THEN USHERING IN ERAS OF CHANGE. AND WE’RE GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON TELLING THOSE STORIES ALONG WITH HAVING A HELL OF A GOOD TIME IN 2026 IN OUR BARS, IN OUR RESTAURANTS, ON OUR STREETS. IT’S GOING TO BE AN AWESOME PARTY HERE IN PHILLY AND THROUGHOUT PENNSYLVANIA.

YOU SAY, AND I’M PRETTY SURE ANYONE IN PHILADELPHIA WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, THAT THIS IS THE NATURAL PLACE TO CELEBRATE AMERICA’S BIG BIRTHDAY. EXPLAIN TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO MAYBE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF EVERYTHING THAT WENT DOWN RIGHT THERE IN PHILADELPHIA. >> YEAH. EVA, THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED, AT INDEPENDENCE HALL. THIS IS WHERE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS CAME TOGETHER AND DREAMED OF THIS NATION, DREAMED OF A PLACE WHERE WE COULD BE FREE, DREAMED OF A PLACE WHERE WE COULD ACHIEVE PROSPERITY THROUGH HARD WORK, DREAMED OF A PLACE THAT WOULD BE A PLACE OF INCLUSION AND TOLERANCE, PARTICULARLY HERE IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, FOUNDED BY WILLIAM PENN ON THAT PROMISE OF INCLUSION AND TOLERANCE AND WELCOMING. THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED. AND WE ARE PROUD OF THAT HERITAGE. WE’RE PROUD OF THE FACT WE’VE DEFINED FREEDOM AND EXPANDED FREEDOM OVER MANY GENERATIONS. AND WE’RE EXCITED TO BOTH CELEBRATE OUR HISTORY BUT ALSO TAKE A MOMENT TO LOOK FORWARD AT THE CHALLENGES WOVE AHEAD AND DRAW FROM THE STRENGTH OF OUR PAST IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AN EVEN BRIGHTER FUTURE. NOT JUST FOR FOLKS HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA BUT FOR ALL AMERICANS. THIS IS WHERE IT STARTED. AND IT’S FITTING THAT THIS IS WHERE WE’RE CELEBRATING USA 250. >> DeMarco: AND GOVERNOR, IN A YEAR WHERE WE’RE SO DIVIDED WHEN IT COMES TO RACE, GENDER, POLITICS, YOU NAME IT, WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO CELEBRATE THIS BIG MILESTONE TOGETHER? >> YEAH. LOOK, I THINK WE HAVE FAR MORE IN THIS NATION THAT UNITES US AND DOESN’T DIVIDE US. I THINK AMERICANS LOVE THIS COUNTRY. AND FRANKLY, I’M A LITTLE SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE WHO KEEP TALKING, YOU KNOW, BLEEP ABOUT THIS COUNTRY. I BLEEPED MYSELF THERE. I WAS CAREFUL. I KNOW THIS IS A FAMILY PROGRAM. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS I GET THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO TRY AND DIVIDE US FOR THEIR OWN POLITICAL PURPOSES. BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND PARTICULARLY THE GOOD PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA AND PENNSYLVANIA, WE’RE FOLKS WHO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, WHO WANT TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER, WHO WANT TO CELEBRATE THE PROGRESS WE’VE MADE IN THIS COUNTRY AND WHO DREAM OF AN EVEN BRIGHTER, BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER. SO THIS IS GOING TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE ALL THAT. IT’S ALSO GOING TO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST WELCOME PEOPLE HERE TO THIS ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE ARE LOVING AND WE ARE FRIENDLY. AND YEAH, SOMETIMES PHILLY FOLKS HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EDGE TO THEM. BUT THAT’S ONLY WHEN OUR SPORTS TEAMS AREN’T WINNING. OTHERWISE, WE’RE IN GREAT SPIRITS. AND RIGHT NOW THEY’RE ALL WINNING.

We want you to know every morning. We’re right here and we got you. >> DeMarco: WE’RE BACK NOW WITH DR. DARIEN TAKING A LOOK AT A NEW ARTICLE IN THE "WASHINGTON POST" THAT’S ASKING THE QUESTION DOES EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR REALLY MAKE THINGS HYPER? I THINK I CAN ASK BOTH OF YOU GUYS THIS QUESTION. I’LL START WITH YOU. >> Dr. Darien: WELL, I’LL START WITH THE DATA AND EVA WILL COME IN WITH THE PARENTING DATA, WHICH IS A LITTLE MORE ACCURATE. BUT IN THE STUDIES WHEN THEY LOOK OUT OF IT A LOT OF THIS WAS BORN OUT OF A MYTH FROM POPULAR DIETS IN THE 1970 ANDs 1980s LOOKING AT ADDITIVES IN FOOD, WHICH THANKFULLY MOST OF WHICH HAS SINCE THEN BEEN SUBTRACTED. BUT THAT MYTH OF SUGAR CAUSING HYPERACTIVITY HAS PERSISTED EVEN THOUGH STUDIES FROM THEN AND NOW HAVE SHOWN THAT SUGAR DOES NOT AFFECT A CHILD’S HYPERACTIVITY. AND SO IT’S A COMMON MYTH. BUT IT DOESN’T DISCOUNT THE RISK OF SUGAR. WE SHOULD STILL AVOID ADDED SUGAR, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 2. THERE SHOULD BE NO ADDED SUGAR IN THEIR DIET. >> Eva: THAT’S A DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THE ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE OF WHEN YOU GIVE A TODDLER A SMALL AMOUNT OF CANDY, SPECIFICALLY CHOCOLATE I THINK IS THE WORST, BUT THE CHOCOLATE — CAFFEINE IN THE CHOCOLATE. >> Dr. Darien: THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY. CHOCOLATE HAS CAFFEINE IN IT. SO IT MIGHT BE ASSOCIATED WITH MORE ACTIVITY AND MIGHT BE THE REASON WHY YOUR ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE IS ALSO ACCURATE. >> DeMarco: KIDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY A LITTLE CANDY, SAYS THE FAVORITE UNCLE. >> Dr. Darien: SAYS THE FAVORITE UNCLE, YEAH. >> Eva: WHO DOESN’T HAVE TO PUT THE KIDS TO BED. >> Dr. Darien: EXACTLY. >> DeMarco: ALL RIGHT, DOC, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BUT EACH YEAR CAR ACCIDENTS UNFORTUNATELY ACCOUNT FOR SOME 4 MILLION E.R. VISITS. AND DR. DARIEN IS OUTSIDE OUR STUDIOS RIGHT NOW WITH HIS PRESCRIPTION FOR WELLNESS. GOOD TO SEE YOU. ANY TIPS FOR US WHO WILL BE HITTING THE ROADS WITH OUR FAMILIES? >> Dr. Darien: WELL, I’M SO HAPPY TO BE IN THIS CAR BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT. WHICH IS HOW TO STAY SAFE WITH DOING THINGS INSIDE OF THE CAR. SO EVA, DeMARCO, THE FIRST STEP IS MAKING SURE THAT YOUR POSITION IS CORRECT. MAKING SURE THE STEERING WHEEL, SPECIFICALLY THE AIRBAG, IS FACING YOUR CHEST AND NOT YOUR FACE. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT END COLLISION YOU WANT THAT TO HIT YOUR CHEST AND NOT YOUR FACE. THE SECOND THING, I KNOW WE ALL LOVE TO DO THIS, PUTTING YOUR FEET UP ON THE DASHBOARD, NOT ONLY IS IT DISGUSTING BUT IT’S ALSO DANGEROUS. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU’RE GETTING INTO A FRONT END COLLISION THAT YOUR FEET ARE NOT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THAT CAN CAUSE YOU MORE INJURY AND ALSO CAUSE YOU TO SLIP OUT OF YOUR SEAT BELT. AND THEN THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OVERALL IS ALSO MAKING SURE THAT NOT ONLY ARE YOU SECURE BUT MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING INSIDE OF YOUR CAR IS SECURE. OF COURSE WEARING A SEAT BELT. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY LOOSE OBJECTS LIKE THOSE BIG CANISTERS THAT HOLD WATER YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EITHER THEY’RE UNDER THE SEAT OR IN THE TRUNK. IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER THAT CAN CAUSE OR BECOME A PROJECTILE OBJECT. AND THAT’S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO PREVENT. SO HOPEFULLY THESE TIPS WE CAN ALL USE TO BE SAFER AS WE GET ON THE ROAD. >> DeMarco: GOOD TIP. AND KEEP YOUR FEET OFF THE DASHBOARD. >> Dr. Darien: PLEASE. ESPECIALLY IF IT’S MY DASHBOARD. >> DeMarco: RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, DOC, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOLKS, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU SO PLEASE HIT US UP ON INSTAGRAM WITH ALL OF YOUR MEDICAL QUESTIONS FOR OUR MEDICAL UNIT @ABCGMA3. >> Eva: SOMETIMES I PUT MY FEET ON THE DASHBOARD.

IT’S GREAT TO BE HERE. >> DeMarco: GREAT TO HAVE YOU. YOU WERE RAISED TO KEEP THINGS PRIVATE. YOU WROTE A BOOK. >> YEAH. >> DeMarco: WHY? >> WELL, BECAUSE NOW I’M AN ADULT. WHEN YOU’RE A KID THEY TELL YOU CERTAIN THINGS. THEY’RE LIKE DON’T TALK ABOUT THIS IN MIXED COMPANY, WE DON’T SAY THESE THINGS. BUT WHEN YOU BECOME AN ADULT YOU HAVE YOUR KIDS, YOU REALIZE LIKE IT’S MY DUTY TO KIND OF SHARE, TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHAT I’VE LEARNED. AND OVER THE LAST 14 YEARS DOING "HOW DID THIS GET MADE," THIS PODCAST I DO WITH MY WIFE AND JASON MANTZ YOOUKAS, I WOULD TELL THESE STORIES. AND THE HORRIFIED LOOKS ON THEIR FACE WHEN I’D TELL THEM MY GRANDMA TOLD ME ABOUT A BUTCHER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHO WOULD KIDNAP KIDS AND CHOP THEM UP INTO CHOPPED MEAT AND IF YOU ANSWERED THE DOOR WHEN YOUR PARENTS WEREN’T HOME. I’D TELL THAT STORY. AND LIKE WHOA, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? >> DeMarco: THAT WAS TO KEEP YOU FROM OPENING THE DOOR. >> EXACTLY. AND IT DID WORK. I NEVER OPENED THE DOOR AND NOR WAS I EVER CHOPPED INTO CHOP MEAT. THERE YOU GO. >> Eva: IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE YOU DESCRIBE YOUR CHILDHOOD AS TRAUMATIC. >> YES. >> Eva: BUT ALSO YOU WANTED THIS BOOK TO BE FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING. HOW DO THOSE THINGS GO TOGETHER? >> WELL, I THINK THAT WE’RE ALL KIND OF FORGED IN TRAUMA, RIGHT? WHATEVER HAS MADE US AND GOTTEN US TO THIS POINT. THERE’S GOOD AND BAD ABOUT IT. I WANTED TO EMBRACE BOTH. I’M A COMEDIAN. SO OBVIOUSLY, MY VERSION OF IT OR HOW I’M GOING TO INTERPRET IT IS GOING TO BE IN A FUNNY WAY. IT’S LIKE TRAUMA CAN BE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. IT COULD BE — THIS BOOK TALKS ABOUT THINGS LIKE ABUSE BUT IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT THINGS LIKE HAVING A REALLY WEIRD RUN-IN WITH BRITNEY SPEARS OR ROBERT DOWNEY JR. OR JUST LEARNING THAT I HAVE TO GIVE UP BEING COOL AND OWNING A MINIVAN. THAT’S TRAUMA. HONESTLY, WHEN YOU HAVE TO OWN UP TO GETTING A MINIVAN, THAT’S A LITTLE BIT TRAUMATIC. >> Eva: THEY MAKE LARGE SUVs THESE DAYS. >> DeMarco: YOU ALSO SAY THAT BEING A FATHER HELPED YOU WRITE THIS BOOK. HOW SO? >> YEAH. I THINK THAT WHEN YOU BECOME A DAD OR YOU CARE FOR A CHILD IN YOUR LIFE YOU START TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN CHILDHOOD IN A WAY THAT’S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. WHETHER IT’S EMPATHETIC TO THE PARENTS WHO RAISED YOU OR ACTUALLY EVEN EMPATHETIC TO YOURSELF. SO I THINK HONESTLY HAVING MY KIDS AROUND MADE ME WANT TO WRITE THIS BOOK FOR THEM AND ALSO TO REMEMBER WHAT I’VE LEARNED AND WHAT I WANT TO DO DIFFERENTLY. >> DeMarco: BUT DID IT MAKE YOU SOFTER ON YOUR CHILDREN — >> OH, I’M A SOFTIE. 100%. YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT NOT GIVING KIDS CHOCOLATE AND SUGAR. I’M GIVING MY KIDS CHOCOLATE AND SUGAR. NERDS, GUMMY CLUSTERS ALL DAY EVERY DAY. NO, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS LISTENING TO YOUR KIDS. AND THAT REALLY IS SOMETHING TO — TO MAKE THEM FEEL SEEN AND HEARD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. THAT’S KIND OF WHAT I WRESTLED WITH A LITTLE IN THE BOOK, FEELING LIKE I WASN’T GETTING THAT BUT MAKING SURE I’M GIVING THAT TO MY KIDS. ZBL >> Eva: AND ALSO EMBARRASSING THEM. >> ALWAYS. I’M ALWAYS GOING TO EMBARRASS MY KIDS. I WAS SAYING DURING THE BREAK THAT WHEN WE PULL INTO SCHOOL I TURN DOWN THE WINDOWS AND I MAKE SURE I’M BLASTING LIKE PEPA PIG OUT LOUD SO MY KIDS ARE EMBARRASSED. >> DeMarco: THAT’S WRONG. >> AND MY KIDS ARE LIKE TURN THAT OFF! TURN THAT OFF! >> Eva: WHAT ARE YOU HOPING PEOPLE WHO READ THIS BOOK TAKE AWAY FROM IT ALL? >> I HOPE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY’RE AT DINNER WITH ME. IT’S A CONVERSATION. I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO SHARE TRAUMATIC MOMENTS BECAUSE EVERYTHING I’VE EVER LEARNED AND THE WAY THAT I’VE BECOME BETTER AS A HUMAN BEING IS BY READING AND BY SEEING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SHARED ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES. SO I HOPE IN A WAY IT COULD HELP PEOPLE. IT’S NOT PRESCRIPTIVE. AND IF ANYTHING ELSE YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO NOT APPROACH ROBERT DOWNEY JR. >> DeMarco: AND YOU START AID CONVERSATION. SO THAT’S IMPORTANT. WHY >> YES. THANK YOU. >> Eva: YOU CAN PICK UP A COPY OF JOYFUL RECOLLECTIONS MUCH TRAUMA WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD. OR SCAN THE QR ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN TO PURCHASE A COPY. >> DeMarco: THAT WAS A GOOD ONE. WOWING YOUR GUESTS WITH THIS AEZY FANCY DISH. >> Eva: YOU KNOW WE LIKE TO BE FANCY.

SO IF YOU PUT A LITTLE BIT OF, DeMARCO, ON THERE. THIS IS ONE WE ALREADY HAD DONE. YOU CAN SEE THE COLORS OF IT. IT’S BEAUTIFUL. >> Eva: OOH. SIZZLE. >> WE JUST LET IT DO ITS THING. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE CAULIFLOWER’S — TURN THAT OVER. >> Eva: I FORGOT THE CAULIFLOWER. >> I KNOW YOU DON’T LIKE TO COOK. >> >>. >> Eva: MY HUSBAND. >> OVER HERE WE’LL MAKE OUR SALAD, AVOCADO, TOMATOES, A LITTLE CHOPPED GARLIC, A LITTLE RED PEPPER. FOR HEAT, SWEETNESS OF GARLIC, SOME OLIVE OIL. A LITTLE ACIDITY, WHICH IS RED WINE VINEGAR. AND YOU NEED THAT TO BRING OUT THE FLAVORS TOGETHER. LITTLE CHOPPED PARSLEY. I FEEL LIKE I’M DOING ALL THE WORK. >> Eva: YOU ARE DOING ALL THE WORK. >> DeMarco: REALLY WELL, TOO. WE’RE JUST READY TO EAT. >> YOU CAN USE YOUR FINGER. JUST TURN IT OVER. COME ON, YOU’RE A BIG GUY. >> DeMarco: I DIDN’T WANT TO BREAK IT APART. >> YOU WON’T BREAK IT. I’M GOING TO START WITH THE PLATE OF LABNEH. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. >> Eva: THAT’S SO FANCY-LOOKING TOO. >> MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, SPECIAL WEEKEND BECAUSE WE HONOR THOSE MEN AND WOMEN THAT WEAR THE CLOTH OF OUR NATION THAT HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES. RIGHT? SO I WILL BE IN D.C. HOSTING THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE. AND WE’LL BE DOING ABOUT 1,000 KIDS FROM THE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR SURVIVORS. GOLD STAR FAMILIES. WE COOK FOR THEM FOR A WEEK AND THEN DO A BIG PARADE TO HONOR THOSE MEN AND WOMEN THAT HAVE FALLEN. AND IT’S PRETTY AMAZING, I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU. BECAUSE THE ROBERT IRVINE FOUNDATION SPENDS 145 DAYS A YEAR AROUND ME BASICALLY AROUND THE WORLD WITH OUR MEN AND WOMEN WHO WEAR THE CLOTH OF THE NATION. I’M ABOUT TO TAKE 300 VETERANS BACK TO NORMANDY FOR THE 80th ANNIVERSARY. LOOK AT THAT. THAT’S BEAUTIFUL. THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. >> DeMarco: YOU DON’T WANT TO COOK THIS TOO LONG, RIGHT? >> WE’VE GOT TO FLIP THE CAULIFLOWER OVER. >> DeMarco: OKAY. >> THERE WE GO. >> DeMarco: LOOK AT ME DOING EVA’S JOB. >> THAT’S GOOD. THAT MEANS THE SUGARS CAME OUT OF IT. WE’RE ALMOST READY TO PLATE THIS. WE’LL GIVE IT ANOTHER SECOND. BUT WE’RE TAKING THESE WITH AMERICAN AIRLINES, 300 WORLD WAR II VETERANS. WE’RE DOING A DINNER IN NORMANDY. ROBERT IRVINE FOUNDATION IS COOKING AND TAKING CARE OF THOSE. YOU KNOW, THERE’S ONLY 70 REALLY L LEFT. AND THE RESISTANCE IN FRANCE. IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITING. THEN ON THE 5th HEADS OF STATE COME IN. 6th THE MEMORIAL. AND THEN THE 6th AFTERNOON I FLY TO SCOTLAND WITH 100 WOUNDED WARRIORS, DO A 56-MILE MARCH ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> DeMarco: THAT’S VERY SPECIAL. >> ALL RIGHT. WE READY FOR THIS? >> DeMarco: ARE YOU READY? >> YEAH. PICK IT UP. WE’VE GOT CAULIFLOWER FIRST. MAKE IT NICE AND NICE. PRETTY. NO, NO, NO. I WANT IT PRETTY. COME ON, DeMARCO. >> DeMarco: OKAY. >> THIS IS — WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. COME ON. THAT’S IT. THAT’S GOOD. THEN WE’RE GOING TO PLATE THIS RIGHT ACROSS THE TOP THERE. >> DeMarco: OKAY. >> LOOK AT THAT. >> DeMarco: RIGHT ACROSS THE TOP? >> RIGHT ON THE TOP. >> DeMarco: OOPS. >> FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. COME ON, MAN. I AM CALLING YOUR MOTHER AFTER THIS. ALL RIGHT. SO THERE IT IS. >> Eva: PERFECTION. >> DeMarco: THAT LOOKS GOOD. >> I’VE GOT ONE ALREADY PLATED OVER HERE. >> Eva: WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US TODAY. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. AND FOR TODAY’S RECIPE GO TO GOODMORNINGAMERICA.COM/FOOD. OR SCAN THE QR CODE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN. >> DeMarco: THE ROCK LEGEND SHINING IN A NEW BROADWAY HIT. >> THE ONE AND ONLY HUEY LEWIS IS HERE SHARING SECRETS FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN. AND A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE FROM STAR McKENZIE KURTZ WHEN WE COME BA DID YOU EXPECT TO MAKE HE THINKS THAT THIS CAME OUT OF HIS OWN WAY. THIS CASE IS A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY TO THIS DAY, WE’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. STEPHEN COLBERT ARRESTED. IT’S AN OUTRAGE. AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY BROUGHT THIS CASE AND THE JUDGE DID NOT DECLARE A MISTRIAL. PERHAPS, RESPECTFULLY, STEPHEN CALABRESE, WHO SAYS THAT OUTRAGE AT THE DISTRICT IN CARRYING THIS CASE AS A JUDGE DID NOT DECLARE A MISTRIAL AND EVERYBODY WAS STAY IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. AND IT WAS TOTALLY WHAT THEY HAD JUST KIND THE CASES THAT THE FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SAID HIRED OFFICER OFFICERS, THAT THIS WAS TO BE A WOODEN DECK IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IT. SO THAT DISTRICT TURNED DOWN THIS CASE. AND THE CASE THAT I’VE HAD TO LOOK AT AND WOULDN’T TAKE IT AND THE CASE, IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN 2022, IT SHUT IT DOWN. AND THIS IS WHAT WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL THIS TIME. ALAN DERSHOWITZ, I’VE OBSERVED AND, PARTICIPATED IN TRIALS AROUND THE WORLD. I HAVE CITIZENS IN JUSTICE IN CHINA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, ENGLAND, FRANCE, ITALY, ISRAEL, AS WELL AS IN ITALY, 20 OF OUR 50 STATES. BUT IN MY 60 YEARS AS A LAWYER AND MY PROFESSION, I NEVER SEEN THE SPECTACLE SUCH AS THE ONE I OBSERVED SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW OF THE COURTHOUSE AND NEVER SEEN LIKE IT. HE’S BEEN A GREAT LAWYER, GREAT LEGAL SCHOLAR FOR YEARS AND NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. >> IT’S ALL POLITICS, SAID THE OBSERVER. IF ANYONE TELLS YOU OTHERWISE, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE, LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS THE PERSON WHO WHATEVER THEY DON’T LIKE. IN THIS CASE, YOU ALREADY KNEW WAS DOING ALL THE TALKING. >> REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE JUST RECENTLY. THIS IS ALL ABOUT ENVIRONMENT. I YOU GET INTO INVITING INTO HIS OPPONENT. THEY’RE TRYING TO HURT THE OPPONENT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T WIN IN FAIR AND SQUARE. IT’S A FAIR AND A LOT OF TIMES IT’S A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WAY OF CAMPAIGNING SUCH A DISGRACE. SO SAD TO SEE WHAT’S HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY. OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO HAVE A DEBATE, BUT LOOK AT THE PERSON. >> WHY DON’T YOU LOOK AT THE PERSON? THEY ARGUE THEIR CASE, BUT FOR THE MOST THE ENTIRE RACE, LOOK AT THE PERSON THEY COME FROM. UNBELIEVABLE. HE CAME FROM THE BIBLE. AND I DON’T KNOW THIS GUY. YOU DIDN’T IDENTIFY HIM. IS THAT THE IDEA WHAT THE IS HAPPENING? BUT IT’S FROM THE FASCIST CIRCLE IN THE OVAL OFFICE. THEY CIRCLE THE REST OF THE PROTESTS BUT BEAUTIFUL, RESOLUTE DESK. THAT’S BIG STICK OUT BY WHERE YOU ARE. CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWYERS COMPLICATED BACK IN 2013. AND THEN OVER ARGUMENT, SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA INTO THIS CATEGORY THAT POLITICS IS SO INTRICATE THAT I CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT. AND WHAT IS REFERRED TO IS THE FACT THAT WE HAD A LEGAL EXPERT, THE NUMBER ONE EXPERT ON CAMPAIGN FINANCE FROM WHO WASN’T ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE. HE WASN’T ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE. THEY SAID HE CAN’T BE A WITNESS UNLESS THEY WANT TO JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE POSITION OF THE LAW. HE COULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT ANYTHING GREAT HERE AT THIS TRIAL IS NOW OFFICIALLY SAID, ETC., ETC.. IT’S A CRIME WHERE FOR REAGAN OR THE HEAD OF CLASS, IT’S EXACTLY PRINCIPLE THAT THE LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT WAS ON TRIAL, NOT FOR WHAT HE’S DONE, BUT FOR WHO IS. TRUMP IS THE POTENTIAL NEMESIS OF THE DEMOCRATS. BY THE WAY, I’VE JUST GOTTEN OUT OF COURT. I CAN SEE THIS AS I’M READING YOU NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME, I THINK WE LOOK AT ALL THE PRESIDENT DOES. AFTER EVERY DAY THAT COURT WRAPS UP IS, FLANKED BY ALL HIS SUPPORTERS. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE HIS SON ERIC THERE IN THE BACKGROUND IS LAWYER TODD BLANCHE RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. BUT COURT WRAPPED UP AFTER A PRETTY LONG DAY PROCEEDINGS IN HIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THE JUDGE IN THE CASE ACTUALLY HOLDING WHAT’S CALLED A PRE CHARGE CONFERENCE, ACTUALLY FINALIZE THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO THE JURY. TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM RESTED ITS CASE EARLIER TODAY WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S LAWYERS QUESTIONING THEIR SECOND AND FINAL WITNESS. BOB COSTELLO, YOU REMEMBER BOB COSTELLO IS THE ONE THAT CREATED A LITTLE BIT OF DRAMA OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, ALLEGEDLY GIVING THE SIDE EYE. THE JUDGE SAID TO JUDGE MERCHAN IN THE COURTROOM, ACTUALLY CAUSING THE JUDGE TO TO BOOT ALL THE REPORTERS OUT OF THE COURTROOM AND TELL THE WITNESS, YOU BETTER GET IT TOGETHER OR I’M GOING TO KICK YOU OFF THE STAND. SO IT WASN’T JUST STORMY DANIELS AND MICHAEL COHEN AND DAVID PECKER THAT CREATED A LOT OF TALK OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. BUT IT CAME DOWN TO AN ADVISER, A LAWYER WHO WANTS WORKED AND HELPED MICHAEL COHEN. AT ONE POINT ENDED UP BEING A PRETTY FEISTY WITNESS IN THIS CASE. LET’S BRING IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA RUBIN. SHE’S BEEN FOLLOWING COURT, OF COURSE, INSIDE AND OUT, ALONG WITH OUR CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR TIM JANSEN. SO HIGHLIGHTS TODAY, OLIVIA, WHILE A BRIEF MORNING OF TESTIMONY KYRA, WHERE WE AS YOU JUST SAID, THE JURY CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM BOB COSTELLO, THAT IS A DEFENSE WITNESS, THE ONE WHO IN FURY DATED JUDGE MERCHAN A DAY EARLIER WITH HIS DECORUM ON THE STAND. IT WAS SORT OF SCOFFING AT HIS RULINGS. AND WE SAW A BIT MORE OF THAT ATTITUDE TODAY FROM BOB COSTELLO, WHO FACED FIERCE QUESTIONING ON CROSS-EXAMINATION FROM THE PROSPECT IN THIS CASE. THEY ATTEMPTED TO PAINT HIM AS SOMEONE WHO WAS INTIMIDATING MICHAEL COHEN ON BEHALF OF DONALD TRUMP, URGING HIM NOT TO FLIP AND WORK WITH PROSECUTORS AFTER HIS HOME WAS INFAMOUSLY IN 2018. COSTELLO PUSHING BACK ON THAT HEAVILY. THE TWO BICKERING AT CERTAIN TIMES AT ONE POINT CALLING HER QUESTIONING RIDICULOUS. SO THE JURY SAW ALL OF THAT AND MORE TODAY. AND IT WAS QUITE A WAY FOR THEM TO END, OF COURSE, WITH THAT LAST WITNESS BECAUSE, DONALD TRUMP. THE BIG SCREAMING HEADLINE UP TODAY DID NOT END UP TAKING THE STAND. AND IT COMES AFTER DONALD TRUMP REPEATEDLY, PUBLICLY SAID THAT HE WOULD. I ASKED HIM ABOUT IT IN MARCH. HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING. HE SAID IT AGAIN IN APRIL, SAYING HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY TESTIFY. BUT TODAY, HIS ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHE, RESTED THE CASE ABOUT AN HOUR INTO THE DAY WITH NO TESTIMONY. DONALD TRUMP AND I THINK WE KIND OF KNEW. TAMARA, YOU EVEN MADE THAT CALL THAT IT WASN’T LOOKING LIKE THE FORMER PRESIDENT WAS GOING TO TESTIFY. >> NO SURPRISE. I’M SURE HIS ATTORNEYS ARE TAKING A SIGH OF RELIEF THAT. HE DECIDED NOT TO GET UP ON THAT STAND. IT SURE SHOWED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING. THAT’S SURE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. SUMMATIONS, A VERDICT I MEAN, THIS COULD ALL BE WRAPPED UP IN WHAT, BY THE END OF THE WEEK? >> POSSIBLY. YEAH. I THINK THEY’RE GOING TO. THEY’RE GOING TO RESOLVE IT. THEY’LL HAVE THEIR CLOSING ARGUMENTS. THE JUDGE WILL GIVE THEM TIME LIMITS. THE PROSECUTION WILL GET OPENING ARGUMENT, THEN THE DEFENSE AND THEN THE PROSECUTION, WHAT’S CALLED A REBUTTAL AND SAY CARRY THE BURDEN OF THE OF THE CASE. THERE WAS NO SURPRISE THAT DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T TESTIFY. I YOU KNOW, HE HE CAN TALK ALL HE WANTS, BUT HIS LAWYER IS NEVER GOING TO LET HIM GET ON THE STAND. JUDGE MOTIONS RULING CERTAINLY AND FOR THAT THAT DECISION BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN OPENED UP TO SO MANY DIFFERENT IMPEACHMENT AND INSTANCES, THE JURY COULD HAVE CONVICTED THEM JUST ON THOSE ALLEGATIONS. SO THINK WE ARE WHERE WE ARE. JURY INSTRUCTIONS ARE IMPORTANT AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE DONE BY NEXT WEEK. >> FINGERS CROSSED. IT’S DEFINITELY BEEN AN INTERESTING HISTORIC RIDE, TO SAY THE LEAST, OLIVIA. TIM, APPRECIATE BOTH OF YOU JUST BEING ALONG FOR THE RIDE. >> WE’VE GOT A LOT MORE NEWS AHEAD. STAY WITH US. DON’T GO FAR. RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK, MORE NEWS NEWS. >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE? FROM ABC NEWS, THIS IS "START HERE". TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES.

WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT TODAY AND WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT? PLUS, THE ICC SEEKING TO ARREST BENJAMIN NETANYAHU FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. THE ISRAELI PRIME NOW LASHING OUT AT THE PROSECUTOR. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR WAR IN GAZA. AND SEVERE TURBULENCE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. AT LEAST ONE PASSENGER IS DEAD, DOZENS MORE SERIOUSLY. DETAILS ON THAT VICTIM AND WHAT THE AIRLINE IS SAYING, THE INCIDENT. >> BUT WE DO BEGIN WITH DAY 20 IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S HISTORIC HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THE DEFENSE RESTING ITS CASE AT THE PROSECUTION’S CROSS-EXAMINED OPTION OF THE SOMETIME COMBATIVE WITNESS. BOB COSTELLO. COSTELLO ACCUSED OF GIVING JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN THAT SIDE EYE WAS GIVEN A STERN WARNING AFTER THE JUDGE CLEARED THE COURTROOM TO ADMONISH THE ATTORNEY THAT WAS ONCE AN ADVISER TO MICHAEL COHEN. THE JURY NOW ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY, WHEN THEY WILL LIKELY HEAR A FULL DAY OF CLOSING ARGUMENTS. LET’S BRING IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA, ALONG WITH OUR LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND LAW PROFESSOR KIM WEHLE. SO TALK TO US ABOUT TIMING HERE. DID THE DEFENSE RESTED ITS CASE MAYBE A LITTLE QUICKER THAN EXPECTED? AND DID WE LEARN ANYTHING ELSE FROM? >> TODAY’S PROCEEDINGS? >> WELL, IT CERTAINLY JIVED WITH THE MOST RECENT UPDATE THAT TODD BLANCHE GAVE THE COURT YESTERDAY, WHICH WAS THAT THEY HAD TWO SHORT WITNESSES AND THEY WOULD RAP WITHIN MINUTES OF PROSECUTORS WRAPPING THEIR CASE. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THEY PUT ON FIRST A PARALEGAL TO ENTER SOME EVIDENCE INTO, THE RECORD. HE WAS ON THE STAND FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THEN THEY MOVED INTO COSTELLO, WHO HAD HE NOT HAD THAT SORT OF BLOW UP WITH? JUDGE MERCHAN, IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD HAVE RESTED YESTERDAY. BUT, OF COURSE, MERCHAN ADMONISHED COSTELLO ON THE STAND, SENT THE PRESS OUT OF THE ROOM AND THEN ADMONISHED AGAIN, THREATENING TO STRIKE ALL OF HIS TESTIMONY. SO THAT CONTINUED TODAY. BUT, OF COURSE, THE DEFENSE ULTIMATELY RESTING AFTER PUTTING ON JUST FEW HOURS WORTH OF TESTIMONY FOR THE JURY AFTER PROSECUTORS SPENT 19 DAYS PUTTING ON TESTIMONY. SO REALLY, THE BULK OF THE WORK DONE THERE BY THEM AND DONALD TRUMP OPTING NOT TO TESTIFY, HE HAD TEASED PUBLICLY THAT HE WOULD HE HAD ACTUALLY SAID EMPHATICALLY THAT HE WOULD. HE SAID ABSOLUTELY. BUT WHEN THE TIME CAME, HE DID NOT GET UP IN THAT WITNESS STAND FRONT OF THE JURY. HE STUCK INSTEAD TO THE CAMERA. THAT IS IN THE HALLWAY OUTSIDE OF THE COURTROOM. THAT IS WHERE HE HAS CHOSEN TO DEFEND HIMSELF RATHER THAN ON THE WITNESS STAND. SO, KIM, LET’S ABOUT THE CROSS-EXAMINATION OF COSTELLO. WHAT DID WE LEARN ABOUT HIM ON THE STAND TODAY? AND WHAT DO YOU THINK MADE HIS TESTIMONY SO NOTABLE FOR THE PROSECUTION? >> WELL REMEMBER, COSTELLO WAS CALLED BY THE DEFENSE, NOT BY THE PROSECUTION. AND THE DEFENSE DOES NOT HAVE ANY BURDEN OF PROOF. DONALD TRUMP CAN SIT THERE AND SAY, LISTEN, THERE’S NOT ENOUGH WEIGHT ON THE SCALES TO CONVICT ME BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. BUT THIS WITNESS WAS THERE TO BASICALLY MICHAEL COHEN’S STORY THAT DONALD TRUMP ENGAGED WHILE PRESIDENT IN A PRESSURE CAMPAIGN TO, PURPORTEDLY SILENCE MICHAEL COHEN WHEN HE WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI TO KEEP HIM FROM COOPERATING WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. AND IT SORT OF BLEW UP FOR THE PROSECUTION. COSTELLO, AS OLIVIA INDICATED, GOT RUDE TO THE JUDGE. THE JURY SAW THAT JURIES LIKE JUDGES AND THEY IT’S KIND OF LIKE THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP. IT WAS NOT A GOOD MOMENT. AND HE SORT OF CAME ACROSS AS SOMEONE WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN KIND CLOSER TO GIULIANI AND THE PRESIDENT, FORMER PRESIDENT, THAN ACTUALLY REPRESENTING MICHAEL COHEN. SO THE PROSECUTION ONLY ENDED ON A HIGH NOTE WITH THEIR LAST WITNESS, MICHAEL COHEN, BUT MAY HAVE ENDED ON A HIGH NOTE WITH THE GOVERNOR OR WITH THE DEFENSE’S SECOND WITNESS AND THEIR ONLY REAL PRIMARY WITNESS, BOB COSTELLO. >> HMM. SO, OLIVIA, THE DEFENSE CALLED THE TWO WITNESSES. DO YOU THINK THAT THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF, ITS DEFENSE, WAS TO CAST DOUBT ON MICHAEL COHEN OR WAS THE FORMER OFFICERS TESTIMONY STRONG AND BELIEVABLE ENOUGH? >> BELIEVABLE ENOUGH? YOU THINK? THEY WERE CERTAINLY TRYING TO CAST DOUBT ON MICHAEL COHEN. AGAIN, SPECIFIC LEAGUE COHEN. THE IDEA THAT HE WAS BEING PRESSURED BY DONALD TRUMP AND WHEN HIS ATTORNEYS WERE ARGUING ABOUT THE SCOPE OF WHAT COSTELLO’S TESTIMONY WAS GOING TO BE. AGAIN, THIS WAS OUTSIDE OF THE JURY’S PRESENCE. THEY SAID THAT THE POINT OF THAT LINE OF QUESTIONING WAS TO MAKE DONALD LOOK THREATENING, TO LOOK LIKE SOMEONE THAT WAS TRYING TO PRESSURE MICHAEL COHEN. AND THEY FELT LIKELY THAT THAT’S SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE IMPACTED THEIR DECISION. THEIR ENTIRE DEFENSE STRATEGY HAS BEEN TO DISCREDIT COHEN, AND THEY JUST NEED ONE JUROR WHO FOR THEM, HOPEFULLY WON’T BELIEVE MICHAEL COHEN, BECAUSE WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE WHAT IS CONNECTING DONALD TRUMP TO THE ACTUAL REPAYMENT PLAN IS REALLY MICHAEL COHEN’S TESTIMONY SPOKE ABOUT WORKING IT OUT WITH ALLEN WEISSELBERG AND THEN GOING TO TRUMP TOWER TO DISCUSS IT WITH DONALD TRUMP. AND THEN HE SPOKE ABOUT GOING THE WHITE HOUSE ONCE DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT IN EARLY 2017 AND SORT OF AFFIRMING IT AGAIN. THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO TIE DONALD TRUMP TO THE REPAYMENT PLAN AND TO THE RECORDS ARE ULTIMATELY FALSIFIED. SO THE JURY NEEDS TO BELIEVE MICHAEL, WHO I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT, DID COME OFF AS HIGHLY CREDIBLE ON WITNESS STAND. ALL RIGHT. WELL, KIM TRUMP, AS WE SEE, OPTED NOT TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND. WHAT TESTIMONY YOU THINK HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE DEFENSE? >> UNLIKELY. LIBYA SAID HE COULD REFUTE THE STORY THAT HE SPOKE TO MICHAEL AND SAID MAKE THESE PAYMENTS. THE JURY CAN INFER FROM THE EVIDENCE THEY DON’T NECESSARILY NEED MICHAEL COHEN. THEY CAN INFER FROM THE OTHER THINGS. BUT I AGREE. CRITICAL TESTIMONY. BUT THERE’S ALSO IF HE HAD BEEN INTRODUCED, HE COULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED BY OTHER ACTS. SO IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD CALL. AND NOW THEY’RE WITH PRIMARILY THE PROSECUTION’S CASE AND CLOSING ARGUMENTS. >> ALL RIGHT. STAY TUNED. OLIVIA KIM, THANKS SO MUCH. WELL, ABSURD, AUDACIOUS AND OUTRAGEOUS. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU USING THOSE WORDS, THE DECISION BY THE CHIEF PROSECUTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT TO SEEK A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST. PROSECUTOR KARIM ASKING A PANEL OF ICC JUDGES TO ISSUE WARRANTS FOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS AND HAMAS LEADERS OVER THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK AND THE ONGOING WAR IN GAZA. PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU TELLING GOOD MORNING AMERICA THAT KHAN IS CREATING A FALSE EQUIVALENCE HERE. >> THAT’S LIKE SAYING IN AFTER 911, WELL, I’M ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FOR GEORGE BUSH, BUT ALSO FOR BIN LADEN OR AFTER IN WORLD WAR TWO. WELL, I’M ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FDR, BUT ALSO FOR HITLER. IT’S A HATCHET JOB. IT’S NOT SERIOUS. HE’S OUT TO DEFAME ISRAEL AND HE’S ALSO POURING GASOLINE ON THE FIRES OF ANTI-SEMITISM THAT ARE SPREADING AROUND THE WORLD. >> OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT HAS THE LATEST FOR US NOW FROM TEL AVIV. >> HI, CAROL. SO THE QUESTION NOW IS, COULD ACTUALLY FACE CHARGES HERE NOW IF APPROVED BY A PANEL OF THREE JUDGES, THE CASE ACTUALLY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO PROCEED. THEY WILL ARREST WARRANTS FOR THESE OFFICIALS. NOW, NO WESTERN STYLE DEMOCRACY, IT MUST BE SAID, HAS BEEN ISSUED AN ICC WARRANT. SO IF THIS DOES GO THROUGH, NETANYAHU WOULD BECOME THE FIRST AND IT WILL SHOCK ISRAEL AND ITS ALLIES, INCLUDING US. NOW, THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM FOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS UNDER ANY ARREST WARRANT WOULD BE THAT THE COURTS, AROUND 124 MEMBER STATES WOULD BE UNDER A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO ARREST THESE OFFICIALS IF THEY TRAVEL TO ANY OF THOSE COUNTRIES. NOW, IF THE COURT FINDS ENOUGH EVIDENCE OF THE CRIMES, CAN THEN SUMMON THE SUSPECT TO APPEAR APPEAR VOLUNTARILY. THE COURT CAN ALSO ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT, RELYING ON MEMBER COUNTRIES TO MAKE THE ARREST AND TRANSFER THE SUSPECT TO THE ICC. NOW MEANS THAT THERE MIGHT BE RESTRICTIONS ON WHERE NETANYAHU WILL BE ABLE TO TRAVEL. THEN THERE WOULD BE A TRIAL AND THEN A TRIAL BEFORE JUDGES IN WHICH. THE PROSECUTION MUST PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS GUILTY OF THE CRIMES IN THIS CASE FOR WAR CRIMES AND FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. NOW, THOSE IMAGES OF YASSIN ANWAR ALONGSIDE NETANYAHU, THAT SPARKED A LOT OF ANGER HERE IN, ISRAEL. MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW CAN THERE BE A COMPARISON GIVEN THE PAIN AND THE DEATH THAT SINWAR HAS INFLICTED ON ISRAEL. PEOPLE FROM OCTOBER 7TH AND BEYOND, KYRA. ALL RIGHT. BRITT CLENNETT IN TEL AVIV FOR US. BRET, THANKS SO MUCH. JOINING NOW ARE ABC NEWS NATIONAL SECURITY DEFENSE ANALYST MICK MULROY MICK, YOU KNOW, OCTOBER 7TH WAS NEARLY EIGHT MONTHS AGO WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE OF WAR CRIMES INCLUDING, MURDER, KIDNAPPING OF CIVILIANS. WHY DID THE ICC PROSECUTOR WAIT THIS LONG? YOU THINK ACTUALLY ASK FOR ARREST WARRANTS, PARTICULARLY FOR HAMAS? WELL, THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION, CAROL, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, THE CRIMES WERE ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED BY HAMAS AND IT WOULD BEEN VERY EASY TO MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY TO ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT FOR SINWAR AND ALL OF THESE SENIOR LEADERS . I THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS, IT IS THE PROBLEM OF MORAL EQUIVALENCY. YOU HAVE A DESPOTIC TERRORIST GROUP THAT DID HORRIBLE THINGS TO CIVILIANS ON PURPOSE, AND THEN YOU HAVE A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER WHO RESPONDED TO THAT. AND YES, THERE IS CRITICISM, INCLUDING FROM THE UNITED STATES, HOW THE WAR WAS PROSECUTED. BUT THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCE TO THIS. THERE, OF COURSE, CRITICISM OF THE UNITED STATES AND HOW WE RESPONDED AFTER 911. >> BUT CERTAINLY THERE WAS NO EQUIVALENCE. THE UNITED STATES IN AL QAEDA AND THERE’S NO EQUIVALENCE TO ISRAEL AND HAMAS. SO THAT’S THE FIRST ONE. THE SECOND IS JUST THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE JURISDICTION OVER ISRAEL. SO THEY’RE GOING TO ESSENTIALLY DO SOMETHING THAT’S AGAINST THEIR CHARTER AND THEN THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO ARREST THEM BY AS BRET HAD POINTED OUT, THE MEMBER STATES THAT ARE PART OF THIS WILL SERIOUSLY RESTRICT THE TRAVEL IN MANY CASES OF PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU AND FOREIGN MINISTER GALON. ALSO, NOT A GOOD THING WHEN YOU’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR AND HE WANTS AN END THE WAR WITH A CEASE FIRE AND POTENTIALLY YOU WANT TO NEGOTIATE TOWARD A TWO STATE SOLUTION, NONE OF THAT HELPS. AND IT’S AGAINST THE CHARTER OF THIS OF THIS GROUP. >> I MEAN, YOU HEARD NETANYAHU JUST MOMENTS AGO WHEN HE GAVE THAT INTERVIEW THAT HE HE THINKS THIS A HATCHET JOB ON BEHALF OF THE ICC. DO YOU AGREE? >> WELL, IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE IT’S THEIR CHARTER. IT WILL NOT HELP. IT IS VERY SELECTIVE BECAUSE, COURSE, THERE’S A LOT OF THE LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THIS AND HAVEN’T BEEN SO VERY SELECTIVE. I CAN SEE WHY ISRAEL WOULD FEEL LIKE THIS IS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON AND NOT ON THE ACTUAL TOPIC THAT THIS GROUP IS TO LOOK AT. I DON’T THINK IT WILL, OF COURSE, IN THE ARREST OF PRIME MINISTER OR THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE, BUT IT COULD SIGNIFICANTLY COMPLICATE THEIR TRAVELS, WHICH COMPLICATE THEIR ABILITY TO CARRY OUT THEIR FOREIGN POLICY AND DIPLOMATIC ACTIONS. SO BOTTOM LINE, IT’S JUST GOING TO ADD COMPLICATIONS. SO WHILE I HAVE YOU, LET’S TALK ABOUT AID TO GAZA, THE FLOATING THAT WAS BUILT BY THE U.S.. YOU WERE A PART OF THIS HUGE AS WELL AS FACILITATING DELIVERIES OF FOOD SUPPLIES. IT’S BEEN OPERATIONAL NOW FOR JUST A FEW DAYS. HOW MUCH AID IS GETTING IN AND IS IT A DROP IN THE BUCKET COMPARED TO WHAT’S NEEDED RIGHT NOW? >> SO, KYRA, THAT’S RIGHT. AND AFTER I LEAVE JAPAN, GOING TO CYPRUS RIGHT NOW, RIGHT AFTER THIS. AND I THINK WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT IS AID GETTING IN TO CYPRUS. SO ONCE THIS LARGE QUANTITIES OF AID STARTS FLOWING INTO CYPRUS, WHICH IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND A VERY GOOD THING, THEN ONCE THIS SYSTEM IS SET UP TO THIS J, THIS MILITARY PIER, THERE WILL BE AID BROUGHT IN AT EVERY DAY. IT’S BASICALLY THE AID WHICH IS, YOU KNOW HAS BEEN STUCK ALL OVER THE REGION GETTING TO CYPRUS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE SYSTEM BEING FUNCTIONING UP AND RUNNING AND THIS WILL REALLY GIVE THE HUMANITARIAN COMMUNITY THE ABILITY TO BRING IN MUCH MORE FOOD, WATER AND MEDICINE. >> NICK, GREAT TO TALK TO YOU TONIGHT. THANKS. SO WE HAVE NOW LEARNED THE IDENTITY OF THE BRITISH MAN WHO DIED DURING SEVERE TURBULENCE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. A FACEBOOK POST BY A U.K. MUSICAL THEATER GROUP, THE VICTIM AS 73 YEAR OLD JEFF KITCHEN. IT HAPPENED ON A FLIGHT FROM LONDON TO SINGAPORE LATE LAST NIGHT. ONE PERSON ACTUALLY SEEN CARRIED OUT OF THE PLANE RIGHT THERE ON A STRETCHER. THE FLIGHT MADE THE EMERGENCY LANDING IN BANGKOK. AT LEAST 70 PEOPLE WERE INJURED. EMERGENCY MEDICAL TENTS SET ON THE TARMAC TO TREAT THOSE WITH THE INJURIES. THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION BOARD IS NOW ANNOUNCING THAT IT’S SENDING REPRESENTATIVES TO SUPPORT INVESTIGATION. OUR PATRICK REEVELL IS FOLLOWING THE STORY FROM, OUR LONDON BUREAU, PATRICK. >> HI, KYRA. WE ARE STILL LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT OF SEVERE TURBULENCE THAT INJURED DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND LEFT AT LEAST ONE PASSENGER DEAD. THE SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT FLYING FROM LONDON TO SINGAPORE WITH 211 PASSENGERS AND 18 CREW ON BOARD. AND ABOUT 10 HOURS IN. THE AIRLINE SAYS THE BOEING 777 HIT SUDDEN EXTREME TURBULENCE, WHILE AT 37,000 FEET. WE’VE SEEN THE IMAGES FROM INSIDE SHOWING THE PASSENGERS ON BOARD HAVE DESCRIBED PEOPLE BEING SUDDENLY LAUNCHED UPWARDS AS THE PLANE ABRUPTLY DROPPED, SOME HITTING SO HARD INTO THE CEILING THAT THEY SMASHED THE OVERHEAD PANELS ABOVE THE PLANE WAS FORCED TO DIVERT TO BANGKOK IN THAILAND. THAI AUTHORITIES HAVE SAID AROUND 30 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED, HAVING SUFFERED MODERATE INJURIES. A HOSPITAL IN BANGKOK SAID SIX PEOPLE ARE IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. TWO AMERICANS ARE AMONG THE INJURED. ACCORDING TO THE HOSPITAL. BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR WHAT THEIR INJURIES ARE OR HOW SEVERE. THAI AUTHORITIES ALSO IDENTIFIED THE PASSENGER WHO DIED, A 73 YEAR OLD BRITISH MAN WHO THEY SAY WAS SUFFERING FROM A HEART CONDITION. SINGAPORE AIRLINES IN A STATEMENT HAS SAID IT EXPRESSES ITS DEEPEST CONDOLENCES AND DEEPLY APOLOGIZES FOR THE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. IT SAYS A TEAM FROM THE AIRLINE HAS ARRIVED TO ASSIST AND INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY INTO. THE INCIDENT. STILL A LOT TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WERE HURT. >> KYRA. PATRICK REEVELL SO MUCH. >> WELL, THE PORT AU PRINCE AIRPORT HAS REOPENED AFTER BEING SHUTTERED FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS AFTER UNPRECEDENTED GANG VIOLENCE FORCED IT TO CLOSE. SEALING OFF THE CAPITAL CITY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. SO FAR, ONLY SUNRISE AIRWAYS, A SMALL REGIONAL AIRLINE, HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESUME FLIGHTS, BUT OTHER INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS COULD START OPERATING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. >> THE AIRPORT WAS ABLE TO REOPEN AFTER HAITIAN OFFICIALS BULLDOZED HUNDREDS HOMES IN THE AREA. OFFICIALS SAY THE GANG MEMBERS WERE CLIMBING ONTO THE ROOFS OF. THOSE HOMES TO SHOOT INTO THE AIRPORT, SOMETIMES HITTING PLANES THAT WERE PARKED ON THE RUNWAY. WELL, COMING UP, DONALD TRUMP ACCUSED ECHOING NAZI GERMANY SHARING AN OFFENSIVE VIDEO ON IS TRUE. >> HOW THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS RESPONDING NEXT. WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS. >> WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS. >> ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING, ABC NEWS IS RIGHT THERE FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE. CONTINUE FOR UKRAINE. REPORTING FROM THE EARTHQUAKE IN IN ROLLING FORTH. THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS LITTLE TOWN FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII.

SO WHAT DOES IT SAY? THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG GOING AROUND HERE. >> ANDREW TATE INTO THE MANOSPHERE NOW STREAMING ON HULU. >> SO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ACCUSED OF BIGOTRY AFTER REPOSTING A VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT HAS SINCE BEEN DELETED. THE VIDEO, WHICH WAS POSTED DURING THE LUNCH BREAK OF HIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL, SHOWED IMAGES ,A FAKE NEWSPAPER REFERENCING NAZI GERMANY. THAT CLIP REFERRING TO A SECOND TRUMP TERM, CREATING A QUOTE, UNIFIED. >> THOSE WORDS HISTORICALLY USED DESCRIBE ADOLF HITLER’S REGIME. THIS IS JUST THE IN A SERIES OF POSTS AND STATEMENTS THAT TRUMP’S OPPONENTS SAY ARE STRAIGHT UP ANTI-SEMITIC. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CALLING TRUMP’S POST SICKENING, EVEN SAYING THAT TRUMP USES HITLER’S LANGUAGE, NOT AMERICA’S. >> AS FOR TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN, WELL, REPS SAY THIS WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN VIDEO AND WAS REPOSTED BY A STAFFER WHO DID NOT SEE THE. OUR DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR, AVERI HARPER, JOINS ME NOW. SO, AVERY, THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN SAYS THAT TRUMP KNEW NOTHING THIS POST. THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE ACTUALLY RESPONDED TO US TELLING US THAT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DID THE RIGHT THING BY REMOVING THE VIDEO THAT GERMANY’S THIRD WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF 6 MILLION JEWS AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS IN THE HOLOCAUST IS NOT A GOVERNMENT TO BE CELEBRATED OR GLORIFIED IN CONTEXT. WHAT’S BEEN THE OVERALL RESPONSE, AVERY, TO THE POST DELETE BY TRUMP? WELL, THERE HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD BACKLASH TO THIS POST THAT HAS SINCE BEEN DELETED BY TRUMP ON HIS WEBSITE TRUE SOCIAL. I DO IT REALLY INTERESTING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN’S RESPONSE TO THE BACKLASH. THEY NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THE CONTENT OF THIS POST. YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY YOU REPOST A SOCIAL MEDIA POST. IT IS WIDELY INTERPRETED AS ENDORSING THE CONTENTS OF IT. THEY JUST WEREN’T SURE TO TAKE IT DOWN. AND SO I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS ARE LOOKING AT THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF OTHER THINGS THAT HE HAS SAID. THERE HAS BEEN A PATTERN OF HIM USING INVOKING RHETORIC THAT HAS HARKENED BACK TO GERMANY. >> SO, AVERY, THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THAT TRUMP HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF ANTI-SEMITIC BEHAVIOR. AND IF YOU LOOK THE NUMBERS, IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE VOTERS ARE BOTHERED BY. >> NO, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS COST HIM SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT WITHIN REPUBLICAN RANKS. I AM INTERESTED. THIS IS YOU KNOW, HE IS GOING TO BECOME THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. HE IS THE PRESUMPTIVE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. BUT AS WE MOVE INTO A GENERAL, I’M INTERESTED TO SEE IF THIS HAS COST HIM SUPPORT AMONG INDEPENDENTS. THOSE WHO ARE UNDECIDED, WHO ARE LOOKING TO FIGURE OUT WHO THEY’RE GOING TO CAST FOR IN THE IN NOVEMBER. THIS COULD BE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW MAKES THEM MAKE A SECOND DECISION OR THINK TWICE ABOUT IT. >> ALL RIGHT. ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SUBJECT, TRUMP SAYS THAT HE IS LOOKING RESTRICTIONS ON CONTRACEPTION AND THAT HE PLANS TO SHARE HIS POLICY ON THAT VERY SHORTLY. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN EXPECT FROM THIS? >> ALL RIGHT. THIS WAS FROM A LOCAL TELEVISION INTERVIEW. HE WAS ASKED ABOUT HIS STANCE ON CONTRACEPTION. HE SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT IT. AND IN THE DAYS. BUT HE HAS LATER TRIED TO CLEAN THAT COMMENT UP FROM THAT LOCAL TELEVISION INTERVIEW. HE SAID ON THROUGH SOCIAL THAT HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL AND THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL NOT SUPPORT A BAN ON BIRTH CONTROL. AND SO I THINK WE’LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS THERE. >> AVERY, THANK YOU. UP ROUNDING UP FOR CHARITY HOW A FAST FOOD PIZZA CHAIN IS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

YOUR WEEKEND GOT A LITTLE BETTER WITH "GMA" LIFE THROUGH IT. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS IN WASHINGTON. AND TODAY’S BIG STORY, DONALD TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL IN THE HOME STRETCH. THE JURY POISED TO START DELIBERATIONS NEXT WEEK. WHAT WE’VE LEARNED FROM WITNESS TESTIMONY AND WHAT COULD COME NEXT FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT. AND IN OUR SPOTLIGHT AFTER SCARLETT JOHANSSON GOING AFTER OPEN AIR FOR ALLEGEDLY USING A VOICE SIMILAR TO HERS IN A NEW TOOL, WHY SHE’S SLAMMING THE COMPANY FOR USING HER LIKENESS LIKENESS. SO IN TODAY’S STORY, NEARING THE FINAL STRETCH IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, THE DEFENSE RESTING ITS CASE AFTER THE PROSECUTION’S CROSS-EXAMINATION OF THE SOMETIME COMBATIVE WITNESS, BOB COSTELLO. COSTELLO ACCUSED OF GIVING JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN THE SIDE. I WAS GIVEN A STERN WARNING AFTER JUDGE CLEARED THE COURTROOM TO ADMONISH THE ATTORNEY THAT ONCE WAS AN ADVISER TO MICHAEL COHEN. THE JURY NOW ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY, WHEN THEY WILL LIKELY HEAR A FULL DAY OF CLOSING ARGUMENTS. JOINING ME NOW, ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND LAW PROFESSOR KIM WEHLE. SO KIM WAS TALK ABOUT THIS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPARTIAL, YET HE ALL OF THE REPORTERS OUT OF THE COURTROOM TO TELL BOB COSTELLO, DON’T GIVE ME THE SIDE. I. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THE VIBE IS IN THE COURTROOM RIGHT NOW? AND EVEN MORE SO, HOW HAVE THE JUDGES HANDLING ALL THIS? >> IT SORT OF SEEMED LIKE HE KIND OF LOST IT. >> WELL, FROM WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE HERE, IT’S REALLY UNUSUAL TO HAVE THAT KIND OF DISRESPECT FOR. A JUDGE WHERE REPORTEDLY AND THIS IS A LAWYER WAS MAKING COMMENTS UNDER HIS BREATH WHEN THE JUDGE SUSTAINED OBJECTION, HIS TESTIMONY. I MEAN, THE JUDGE HAS TO MANAGE THE COURTROOM IN A IN A WAY THAT IS DEMONSTRATES ORDER. AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE A LIKE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOM. SO I’M ACTUALLY NOT THAT SURPRISED THAT THE JUDGE PUSHED BACK BECAUSE THAT HAVE GOTTEN REALLY OUT OF CONTROL. AND IT’S TERRIBLE FOR THE JURY TO SEE THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT GOOD FOR THE DEFENSE. >> IT’S SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL. HE EMPTIED COURTROOM OF REPORTERS. OF COURSE, THERE’S A FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUE THERE. BUT REMEMBER THAT THOSE KINDS OF CONVERSATIONS GO RIGHT TO THE PRESS THROUGH DONALD TRUMP’S MOUTH. AND RIGHT AFTER COURT. I THINK THE JUDGE UNDERSTANDS THIS IS AN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE AND HIM MAKING THOSE COMMENTS CAN THEN BLOW UP TO INTO, YOU KNOW, JUDGE MERCHAN IS SOMEHOW NOT BUT IS BIASED OR NOT NOT BEING FAIR TO DONALD TRUMP. >> SO FAR HE’S BEEN DOING THIS BY THE BOOK. SO WROTE THIS OP ED FOR THE HILL. YOU SAY TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM HAS ONLY ONE STRATEGY LEFT. IT’S THE SAME ONE. I THINK THEY STARTED WITH AN OPENING ARGUMENTS, KYRA, AND IS, LISTEN, WHAT EVEN IF DONALD TRUMP DID EVERYTHING THAT, THE PROSECUTION SAID THAT HE DID, THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CRIME, WHICH A FORMER PRESIDENT IS PROSECUTED AND POTENTIALLY INCARCERATED, COULD FACE UP TO FOUR YEARS IN PRISON. >> AND THEY’RE ESSENTIALLY SAYING, LISTEN, MONEY PAYMENTS ARE WHAT RICH AND FAMOUS PEOPLE DO. YOU MIGHT NEED HOLD YOUR NOSE FOR THEM. BUT, YOU KNOW, DEMOCRACY MEANS YOU GET ELECTED AT WHATEVER COST. THAT’S NOT TRUE. THERE ARE WAYS OF GETTING ELECTED THAT ARE ILLEGAL. >> AND THE PROSECUTION’S ARGUMENT IS, YOU KNOW, MAKE A CAMPAIGN DONATION TO PAY OFF SOMEONE, KEEP QUIET ABOUT AN AFFAIR, IS A VIOLATION OF THE ELECTION LAWS WHICH WHICH MOVES THIS FALSIFICATION OF RECORDS CHARGE UP TO A MISDEMEANOR. I MEAN, IT’S USUALLY A FELONY, BUT THEY’RE ESSENTIALLY ASKING I THINK THEY WILL ASK JURY TO NULLIFY THE LAW. AND THAT I THINK ALSO DEMONSTRATED BY THE FACT THEY DIDN’T CALL ANY WITNESSES. >> YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN’T CALL HIS, FOR EXAMPLE, KEITH SCHILLER, TO SAY, LISTEN, THIS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MICHAEL COHEN CALLED, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THEY DIDN’T REALLY GO AT THE HEART OF THE CASE THAT DONALD TRUMP DIRECTED THIS OTHER THAN TO TRY TO REFUTE MICHAEL COHEN’S CREDIBILITY. >> BUT THERE’S SO MUCH EVIDENCE HERE OF, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP ON COURT RECORDED SAYING, LET’S PAY KAREN MCDOUGAL IN CASH. WE KNOW HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS. ALLEN WEISSELBERG’S HANDWRITING AND THE PAYBACK FOR STORMY DANIELS, INCLUDING A GROSSED UP FOR TAXES CONSISTENT WITH GOVERNMENT’S THEORY. >> NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE FOR WHY THIS THE WAY IT DID? I DON’T THINK THE JURY REASONABLY CAN THINK AT MOMENT THAT MICHAEL COHEN DID THIS COMPLETELY ON HIS OWN WITH KNOWLEDGE FROM DONALD TRUMP. YOU KNOW, HOPE HICKS TESTIFYING ,SHE DIDN’T BELIEVE IT, REALLY WHEN WHEN WHEN DONALD TRUMP SAID, LISTEN, THIS WAS ALL MICHAEL COHEN. SHE TESTIFIED SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF NO, MICHAEL COHEN WOULDN’T DO THAT, WOULDN’T JUST DO THAT OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART, TAKE OUT A YOU KNOW, A HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT ON HIS OWN HOME. SO I DON’T THINK THAT THERE IS ANOTHER STORY FOR TO GIVE REASONABLE DOUBT OTHER THAN TO SAY, LISTEN, THIS IS OVERREACHING EVEN IF THE LAW IS SATISFIED AS THE GOVERNMENT HAS SET FORTH THE CASE. >> SO I’VE BEEN WANTING TO ASK YOU THIS. AFTER ALL THIS WRAPS UP AND THIS CASE BECOMES HISTORY, IS PROFESSOR KIM WEHLE GOING TO TELL HER STUDENTS ABOUT PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK VERSUS DONALD J. >> TRUMP? GOSH, THERE’S SO MUCH YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE, KYRA, THIS IS AN ALL OF THESE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT LINCHPINS FOR DEMOCRACY. THE OTHER GUARDRAILS AROUND THE PRESIDENCY TO PREVENT ABUSE OF OFFICE HAVEN’T WORKED. IMPEACHMENT, CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT, WITHHOLDING, FUNDING. THE THE 25TH AMENDMENT, ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE PRESIDENTS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ABIDE BY THE RULE OF LAW. NONE OF THOSE WORKED DURING THE LAST ADMINISTRATION AND THE SUPREME COURT AND JUDGE CANNON ARE PREVENTING THE FEDERAL CASES FROM GOING TO TRIAL BEFORE NOVEMBER. AND WE KNOW THAT THE VOTERS, SOME VOTERS HAVE SAID A VERDICT IN CONVICTING HIM IS A FELONY AS A FELON WILL BE IMPORTANT WHEN THEY GO TO THE POLLS. >> I THINK THAT’S IMPORTANT. THE OTHER PIECE, KYRA, IS, LISTEN, THE COURT SYSTEM IS WORKING. JUDGES AND JURIES BASE DECISIONS ON LAW AND AUTHENTICATED VERIFIED FACTS. AND FOR A FORMER PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS, BEHIND HIM, TO ATTACK THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS AN ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY ITSELF. AND I DO TELL MY STUDENTS, YOU NEED TO PRACTICE LAW WITH THE UTMOST INTEGRITY, BECAUSE IF YOU LOSE THAT, YOU LOSE EVERYTHING. >> KIM WEHLE, APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. LET’S BRING IN THE BIG STORY, OUR PANEL, SHALL WE? JOINING US TODAY, ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND OP ED COLUMNIST, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, L.Z. GRANDERSON, ABC NEWS POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR HEIDI HEITKAMP. ALSO OUR CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN KATKO AND OUR CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MYERS. GREAT SEE YOU ALL. SO, L.Z., I OF COURSE, I’M GOING TO TAKE THIS TO YOU FIRST. YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE BLASTED BOB COSTELLO SAYING DON’T ME THE SIDE EYE. YOU KNOW, WE DIDN’T HAVE CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOM. SO LOT OF THESE MOMENTS ARE REALLY UP TO OUR IMAGINATION. I’M JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD GIVE ME YOUR SIDE EYE AND JUST TELL ME HOW YOU THINK. COSTELLO THREW THAT TO THE JUDGE. AND THEN AFTER YOU DO THAT, COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, KNOW, DO YOU THINK THE JUDGE IS JUST FED UP WITH THE CAST OF CHARACTERS HERE? I AFTER THE FIRST, I GUESS WITH THE SIDE EYE, PLEASE, I GUESS I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S A BAD SITUATION AS MUCH AS THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF EXTRAORDINARY THINGS HAPPENING IN COURTROOM. AND HE’S TRYING AS BEST HE CAN TO KEEP THE HISTORICAL COURT CASE ON TRACK. >> AND IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT TAKES THE STAND TO POINT IS THAT IS THE CHARACTER. BUT I WILL TRY RIGHT. >> TO GIVE A PROPER START. I THINK. I DON’T USE IT VERY OFTEN. USUALLY SOMETHING MIGHT USES. >> YES. OH, I GET IT TO BELIEVE ME. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, THAT WAS EXCELLENT. L.Z., MIKE SPEAKING OF THE CAST OF CHARACTERS HERE, TRUMP AND HIS SKETCHY POSSE SHOWING TO SUPPORT HIM AT COURT, YOU HAD CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ. YOU HAD FORMER COMMISSIONER AND CONVICTED FELON BERNIE KERIK. YOU HAD A HEALTH ANGEL, FOR GOODNESS SAKE. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS ALL ABOUT, EMPOWERING TRUMP OR SCARING THE JURY? >> OH, THAT’S INTERESTING QUESTION. ON THE LATTER PART ABOUT SCARING THE JURY, I DO THINK THERE COULD BE A POSSIBILITY ABOUT JURY INTIMIDATION WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WALK INTO THEIR ROOM, IN PARTICULAR WHAT YOU IN CAMERA ARE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER AND THAT MOMENT WHERE JUDGE EXCUSE THE PRESS, BUT ALLOWED WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE HIS ARROGANCE IS STILL MAY BE IN THE ROOM. AND SO THERE IS THIS DYNAMIC OF IS THIS JURY INTIMIDATION? THAT IS A QUESTION THAT IS BEING TALKED ABOUT AND BEING ASKED. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO HIS SURROGATE COMING OUT AND ACTUALLY MAKING STATEMENTS WHILE COURT IS IN SESSION AND WHILE THEY’RE ON BREAK, FOR ME, THAT IS JUST A CAMPAIGN STOP. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AS A MASTER AT USING MEDIA FOR HIS OWN GOOD STRATEGICALLY. AND I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY OF THE CAMPAIGN STRATEGY IS BECAUSE IT’S CONSTANT FREE MEDIA THAT WE GET A CHANCE TO SEE PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE WAY COVER IT ON A DAILY CONSISTENT BASIS. AND SO I LOOK AT THIS MORE SO AS A CAMPAIGN STOP. >> AND JOHN, SPEAKING OF POLITICS, YOU KNOW, POLITICS WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS CAST OF CHARACTERS, INCLUDING THE LAWMAKERS THAT, REALLY DITCHED THEIR JOBS IN OUR NATION’S CAPITAL TO TAKE THIS TRIP UP TO THE COURTHOUSE AND PRETTY MUCH UP TO TRUMP MEAN. AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON? HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN’T SIT IN THE COURTROOM, BUT THE REST DID. I THINK IT’S PANDERING TO THE HIGHEST ORDER AND IT’S SOMETHING YOU KNOW, WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES IN ALL OUR POSITIONS AND LIVES. AND ONE OF THEM IS TO HAVE SOME INTEGRITY IN WHAT WE’RE AND I THINK THEY TOOK SOME INTEGRITY OFF ALL OF THEM WHEN THEY CAME INTO THAT COURTROOM AND GOT INVOLVED IN A PARTISAN THING LIKE LIKE THAT AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE. I BUT I’VE NEVER DONE IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. YOU GOT TO RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW. AND I THINK THAT’S THAT THAT’S LOOKING AWAY FROM THE RULE OF LAW. >> AND THAT’S SOMETHING I WAS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT. POINT WELL MADE. AND HEIDI, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE A DEMOCRAT, BUT YOU WERE IN TRUMP ORBIT FOR A BIT OF TIME. HE WANTED YOU TO SWITCH PARTIES. YOU DID IT? WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE IN THE TRUMP WORLD? AND THEN WHAT IT LIKE TO BE KICKED TO THE CURB, DEAL IT DOWN, KICKED TO THE CURRENT. >> I THINK I JUST SAID NO, NOT YOU KNOW OTHERS OTHERS I YOU KNOW THAT THE REALITY IS IF YOU LISTEN TO MICHAEL OR TO COHEN IT’S TESTIMONY ANYBODY WHO HAS CROSSED TRUMP, TRUMP WILL CROSS THEM BACK. THERE’S NO LOYALTY THERE. THERE. AND FOR PEOPLE TO SIT BEHIND YOU AND ASSUME THAT THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE HIS BEST FRIENDS FOREVER, HOW RIDICULOUS IS ALL OF THAT? AND, YOU KNOW, AND THE JURY REALLY THE JURY DOESN’T EVEN KNOW THE SUPREME COURT WOULDN’T KNOW THE SUPREME COURT IF THEY SITTING BEHIND THEM. THIS IS ALL THE KEEP TRUMP FEELING LIKE HE’S GOT A POSSE, FEELING LIKE HE’S GOT FOLKS SUPPORTING HIM. >> AND I SHOULD EMPHASIZE ONCE AGAIN. YES, HEIDI, YOU DID SAY NO, OTHERS DID. AND WELL, LOOK WHAT HOW DID YOUR TIMES. >> YES. THERE YOU GO. EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY APPLAUDED . L.Z., HEIDI, JOHN AND MIKE, THANKS, GUYS. GREAT CONVERSATION. >> COMING UP NEXT IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, SCARLETT JOHANSSON ISN’T FAKING IT. WHY THE HOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR IS TAKING ON OPEN AIR.

YOU START HERE ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE HERE . HEY KETANJI, HOW ARE YOU DOING ? >> I’M DOING FANTASTIC. THANKS FOR ASKING. ONCE UPON A TIME, A WORLD NOT TOO DIFFERENT FROM OURS. THERE WAS A ROBOT NAMED BY SO YOU JUST HEARD THE VOICE OF OPENAI’S CHATGPT VOICE ASSISTANT CALLED SKY, A PROJECT WHICH THE COMPANY HAS PUT ON PAUSE AFTER ACTRESS SCARLETT JOHANSSON ACCUSED THE COMPANY USING A VOICE THAT EERILY SIMILAR TO HER OWN. FANS POINT OUT THAT THE ACTRESS PREVIOUSLY VOICED THE SUPPORTING CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE TITLED HER WHERE A MAN DEVELOPS A RELATIONSHIP, AN AI VIRTUAL ASSISTANT. THE FILM WAS RELEASED IN 2013. >> HERE’S PART OF THE CLIP. I LIKE TO BE ALIVE IN THAT ROOM RIGHT NOW FOR SURE. >> MY ARMS AROUND YOU WISH I COULD TOUCH YOU. >> HOW WOULD YOU TOUCH ME, WOLF? SCARLETT JOHANSSON SAYS THAT SHE WAS SHOCKED AND IN DISBELIEF THAT OPEN AI CEO ALTMAN WOULD USE A VOICE SO SIMILAR TO HERS. AFTER SHE DECLINED AN OFFER FROM THE COMPANY WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY APPROACHED TO VOICE THEIR TECHNOLOGY. WELL, IN A STATEMENT, ALTMAN THAT THE CHATGPT VOICE IS BASED ON THE HOLLYWOOD LIKENESS, SAYING THAT THE VOICE ACTOR FOR ITS ASSISTANT WAS CAST BEFORE THEY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN JOHANSON. LET’S BRING MY PANEL, L.Z., HEIDI, JOHN AND MIKE, L.Z.. I WAS A MAJOR STICKING IN THE RECENT HOLLYWOOD STRIKE. WHAT DOES THIS DO TO TRUST FACTOR HERE OR LACK THEREOF, YOU THINK, IN THE INDUSTRY WHERE TRUST RUNS FROM? THIS IS LIKE REAL SCIENCE 2.0. WE’RE LIKE THE NERDS AT THE VOICE OF THEIR STORIES, YOU KNOW, NOT TO GO OUT THERE. GADGETS. I THINK THIS IS JUST A SELF-INFLICTED WOUND. I THINK THIS WAS ALL POORLY THOUGHT OUT. AND BY THE WAY, IT’S GOT A WAS PART OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST GROSSING MOVIE FRANCHISES ALL TIME. AND SHE SUED THE STUDIO AND WON. WHAT ARE YOU DOING SO, HEIDI, IF THE VOICE WASN’T ENOUGH, OPEN AIR CHIEF SAM ALTMAN TWEETED WORD HER RECENTLY, A REFERENCE TO THE MOVIE BY THE SAME NAME WHERE JOHANSON PLAYED AN AI VOICE. AI REGULATIONS ALREADY A MAJOR TALKING POINT ON CAPITOL HILL. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS EVOLVING NOW THAT WE SEE ACTUALLY WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE WITH JOHANSON? YOU KNOW, ACTRESS WITH A BIG PLATFORM? WELL, ABSOLUTELY. >> AND LIKE L.Z. SAID, THEY PICKED ON THE WRONG PERSON. THEY COULD HAVE FOUND MAYBE SOMEBODY WHO WASN’T PAYING THAT MUCH ATTENTION. BUT RIGHT NOW, AMY KLOBUCHAR APPROVED A COUPLE OF BILLS FORWARD. I THINK THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS YOU SEE IT RIGHT HERE IN REAL TIME. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR PUTTING WORDS IN POLITICIANS MOUTHS? PUTTING WORDS IN ACTORS MOUTHS? IT’S VERY DANGEROUS. AND WE NEED TO HAVE AN AWARENESS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN. AND SOME WAY TO CALL IT OUT. AND GOOD FOR JILL HANSON. GOOD FOR HER. WELL, JOHN, HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT? >> YEAH, I TOTALLY WITH HEIDI JUST SETTING OUT THE FOUND OUT A LITTLE BIT. I THINK OUR REAL ROLE IS LITIGATION HERE. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT TRIALS, PATENT INFRINGEMENT. I MEAN, AUTHORS ARE GETTING ALL THEIR BOOKS LOADED IN THE AIR. PEOPLE WRITE STORIES BASED ON WHAT THE CONTENT THEY GOT FROM THESE BOOKS. SO THERE’S ALL KINDS OF HUGE ISSUES. AND I THINK LITIGATION IS GOING TO PLAY A VERY BIG ROLE IN DEFINING THE PARAMETERS OF AIR. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THIS IS THE WILD WEST. IF ANYONE THINKS THEY KNOW HOW IT’S GOING TO END UP THEIR AGREEMENT, BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WILL BE REGARDED AS VIGILANT AS POSSIBLE TO POLICE WHAT THEY’RE DOING. >> AND, MIKE, THIS ALL COMES AS THE U.S. IS FORMING A GLOBAL AIR SAFETY NETWORK WITH KEY INTERNATIONAL ALLIES. HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK A NETWORK LIKE THIS IS? YOU KNOW, AS AIR BECOMES I MEAN, SMARTER AND SMARTER BY THE DAY? IT’S IMPORTANT. I’VE ALWAYS SAID FROM THE BEGINNING THAT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE GUARDRAILS AND SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE AS WE CONSIDER THESE AIR TOOLS AND PRODUCTS. I’VE ALWAYS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE MORE FOCUSED ON AIR, BUT ALSO TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, FAR BEHIND WHEN IT COMES TO REALLY UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY. WE STILL HAVEN’T HAD THE GOVERNMENT PASSED THE PRIVACY DATA ACT THAT A LOT OF CONSUMERS HAVE ASKING FOR. EUROPE IS MILES AND YEARS AHEAD OF US WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. EUROPE IS ALREADY AHEAD OF US IN PUTTING TOGETHER REGULATIONS AND SYSTEMS IN PLACE WHERE THE U.S. IS STILL HOLDING CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS. SO IT’S TRYING TO WRAP THEIR MIND AROUND THE CONTENT OF IT. KYRA, I’VE BEEN COVERING OPEN AIR DEMONSTRATION, AND THEY DID LAST WEEK AS WELL AS ALSO TO COVERING GOOGLE’S IO DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE THAT THEY HAD. >> THE INNOVATION IS ACTUALLY AMAZING. I KNOW WE LOVE IN MEDIA. I’M NOT ONE OF THOSE IN MEDIA WHO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FEAR ASPECT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. BUT FOR ME I LOOK AT IT FOR THE GOOD THAT IT COULD DO, AND PARTICULARLY FOR THE DEMOCRATIZATION THAT CAN CAUSE IS ONE QUICK EXAMPLE. SINCE WE’RE DISCUSSING OPEN A.I.

THE JUDGE TELLING THE JURY SUMMATIONS WILL NOT BE QUICK. MORE ON WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT TODAY AND WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT. PLUS, THE ICC SEEKING TO ARREST BENJAMIN NETANYAHU FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NOW LASHING OUT AT THE PROSECUTOR. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE WAR IN GAZA AND NATIONALLY SET TO LAUNCH A LINE UP OF FROZEN FOOD, TARGETING PEOPLE WHO TAKE WHAT GOVEE AND THOSE XEBEC WHAT IT MEANS FOR PATIENTS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS. >> BUT WE DO BEGIN WITH DAY 20 AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S HISTORIC HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THE DEFENSE RESTING ITS CASE AFTER THE PROSECUTION’S CROSS-EXAMINATION OF THE SOMETIME WITNESS, BOB COSTELLO. COSTELLO TAKING STAND AND BRIEFLY LOOKING AT JUDGE ONE MOTION AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LOOKING AWAY AFTER YESTERDAY’S STERN WARNING FROM THE JUDGE WHEN HE CLEARED THE COURTROOM TO ADMONISH COSTELLO SAYING, DON’T GIVE ME SIDE EYE. AND THEN HE THREATENED TO KICK HIM OFF THE STAND. THE JURY, THE CASE HAS BEEN ADJOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY, WHEN THEY WILL LIKELY A FULL DAY OF CLOSING ARGUMENTS. OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN HAS MORE FOR US HERE AT DONALD TRUMP SAID REPEATEDLY THAT HE WOULD TESTIFY BY IN THIS CRIMINAL TRIAL AGAINST HIM, BUT TODAY IT WAS THE OPPOSITE. HIS DEFENSE TEAM RESTING THEIR CASE TODAY WITH NO TESTIMONY FROM DONALD TRUMP, WHO CLEARLY OPTED NOT TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND AS PART OF THIS CASE. INSTEAD, HIS TEAM PUT FORWARD TO WITNESSES AS PART OF THEIR CASE, PART OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY PRESENTED TO THE JURY. THE FIRST A BRIEF PARALEGAL ENTERING SOME EVIDENCE INTO THE RECORD AND THE SECOND. BOB COSTELLO PUT ON THE STAND MEANT TO REFUTE CLAIMS BY MICHAEL COHEN THAT HE WAS PRESSURED BY COSTELLO ON BEHALF OF DONALD TRUMP AND RUDY GIULIANI NOT FLIP. IN THE DAYS AFTER IT BECAME CLEAR THAT HE WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION. THAT TESTIMONY OF COSTELLO GETTING QUITE HEATED ON CROSS-EXAMINATION WITH WHICH THE JURORS SAW TODAY, THEY WERE SPARRING BACK AND FORTH. COSTELLO AND THE PROSECUTOR, SUSAN HOFFMAN JUROR, ACTUALLY ACCUSED HIM OF INTIMIDATING MICHAEL COHEN. SOME THINGS. A LINE OF QUESTIONING THAT HE SAID ULTIMATELY WAS. SO IT WAS A CONTENTIOUS NOTE FOR THE JURY TO LEAVE OFF ON. AND THEY NOW GO INTO A ONE WEEK BREAK FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THEY WILL NOT BE BACK UNTIL TUESDAY AT, WHICH POINT THEY WILL HEAR CLOSING ARGUMENTS. AND THE ONE QUESTION REMAINS, HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE? DO THEY GET THAT DONE ONE DAY ON JUST TUESDAY, OR DOES IT STRETCH INTO MULTIPLE DAYS AFTER THE JUDGE HAS TO CHARGE THEM THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE LAW? SO THE BIG QUESTION IS, WHEN WILL THE JURY BEGIN DELIBERATING, WHAT WILL BE THE FIRST VERDICT EVER RENDERED AGAINST A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT. OLIVIA RUBIN OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE, THANK YOU. LET’S BRING IN OUR LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND LAW PROFESSOR, KIM WEHLE FOR MORE. KEVIN, SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE CROSS EXAMINATION. BOB COSTELLO, WHAT DO YOU THINK WE LEARNED ABOUT HIM ON THE STAND TODAY AND WHAT DO YOU THINK MADE HIS TESTIMONY NOTABLE FOR THE PROSECUTION? >> WELL, I THINK WE LEARN MORE ABOUT BOB THAN WE DID ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN, PROBABLY EVEN, THOUGH MICHAEL COHEN CAME OUT THROUGHOUT THIS TRIAL AS LYING AS TAKING MONEY FROM THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION ILLEGALLY. ALL THESE THINGS THAT WERE LITTLE MINI MOMENTS BY BOB COSTELLO BASICALLY CAME ACROSS. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WHO MIGHT ACTUALLY BEEN A BLIND THROUGH GIULIANI TO PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND HE SEEMED TO ALMOST ARGUABLY CONFIRM THE GOVERNMENT’S THEORY THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESSURED BY DONALD TRUMP NOT TO COOPERATE WITH AUTHORITIES, WHICH SHOWS POTENTIALLY CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT BY DONALD TRUMP THAT HE HAD SOMEHOW DONE SOMETHING WRONG. SO IT’S HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY, A, THE DEFENSE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO CALL COSTELLO AND B, WHY BOB COSTELLO WAS SO DISRESPECTFUL THROUGH THE PROCESS FOR THE JUDGE. JURIES LIKE KYRA, THAT’S THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP. THEY DON’T WANT SEE A JUDGE INSULTED OR TREATED IN A DISRESPECTFUL WAY. AND THAT COULD COME OUT AGAINST THE DEFENSE IN THE CASE BECAUSE BOB COSTELLO IS NOT THE ONE ON TRIAL IN THIS MOMENT. >> YOU KNOW, TRUMP OPTED TO NOT TAKE THE WITNESS STAND AS FIGURED OUT QUICKLY. DO YOU THINK HIS TESTIMONY WOULD HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE FOR THE DEFENSE? >> I DON’T. IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HURT THE DEFENSE NOW IF IT WERE SOMEONE OTHER THAN MICHAEL COHEN OR EXCUSE ME, DONALD TRUMP STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT DECISION. A DEFENSE ATTORNEYS IN CRIMINAL CASES DON’T PUT THEIR CLIENTS THE STAND BECAUSE THINGS CAN GO THE WRONG DIRECTION. AND DONALD TRUMP LIED. 30,000 TIMES OR MORE WHEN HE WAS IN THE OVAL OFFICE. SO HE HAVE PERJURED HIMSELF. IN ADDITION, UNDER NEW YORK LAW, IF HE TESTIFIES, THAT OPENS THE DOOR TO OTHER THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FRAUD TRIAL AGAINST HIS ORGANIZATION, OTHER BAD ACTS ALLEGEDLY BY DONALD TRUMP IN WHICH HE COULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED. SO, YOU KNOW, I IT’S GOOD THAT HIS LAWYERS FOR HIM PERSUADED HIM NOT TO TESTIFY IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE HIS BLUSTER IN THE PREVIOUS WEEKS THAT HE WAS GOING TO TESTIFY, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR THE DEFENSE. >> A JUDGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE YET HE BOOTS ALL THE REPORTERS OUT OF THE COURTROOM AND RINGS . THIS WITNESS TELLS BOB COSTELLO ,GIVE ME THE SIDE EYE. WHAT DOES THAT TELL US JUST ABOUT THE ENERGY IN THE COURTROOM, EVEN THE MINDSET OF THE JUDGE RIGHT NOW AFTER, A NUMBER OF WEEKS OF HAVING TO LISTEN TO ALL THIS. >> WELL, I DON’T THINK THE FACT THAT THE JUDGE ACTED THAT WAY SHOWS HIS IMPARTIALITY. I THINK IT SHOWS THAT HE NEEDS TO MANAGE HIS COURTROOM AND HE NEEDS TO KEEP ORDER AND HE REPRESENTS THE RULE OF LAW HE REPRESENTS THE COURT ITSELF. HE REPRESENTS NEW YORK AND THE VOTERS OF NEW YORK AND THE JURORS OF NEW YORK AND THE CITIZENS OF NEW YORK. SO TO ALLOW A WITNESS TO DISRESPECT HIM AND TALK BACK. THAT’S AND MY GUESS IS HE CLEARED THE COURTROOM SO THAT THERE WOULDN’T BE REPORTING ON HOW HE WAS MANAGING THIS COURTROOM, GIVEN THAT THINGS GET CRAZY ONCE DONALD TRUMP COMES OUT AND STARTS ATTACKING THE JUDGE. BUT, KYRA, YOU KNOW, THIS IS BUT AN UNPRECEDENTED TRIAL. IT’S AN UNPRECEDENTED CASE AND THE WAY IT’S BEEN CONDUCTED, BECAUSE IT’S — IT’S PARALLEL WITH THIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN HAS ALSO BEEN UNPRECEDENTED. I THINK MANY HISTORIANS AND LEGAL MINDS WILL LOOK BACK ON THIS YEARS TO COME HOPEFULLY FAVORABLY THAT IT WAS A POSITIVE TURNING POINT FOR DEMOCRACY, THAT IN THIS MOMENT IS REALLY HANGING ON BY A IN A LARGER SENSE. >> YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT SO MANY DIFFERENT CASES, US. BUT CLEARLY THIS ONE IS HISTORIC AND IT INVOLVES DONALD TRUMP, A FORMER. HAVE YOUR STUDENTS BEEN ASKING ABOUT CASE? DO THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT IN CLASS? HOW IS THIS PLAYED OUT? JUST AS A PROFESSOR, WHEN YOU’RE NOT BEING A LEGAL ANALYST FOR. >> WELL, IT DOES MAKE IT LAW RELEVANT TO THEIR LIVES. AND I AND I REALLY TRY TO IMPRESS ON THEM HOW THE RULE OF LAW IS SO FOUNDATIONAL TO DEMOCRACY AND HOW WE’RE SEEING LAWYERS, FRANKLY, AND FORMER PRESIDENTS REALLY DEFY IT AND THAT THEY’RE IN A MOMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY WHERE THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND THAT IT’S REALLY THAT GENERATION LEARNING HOW TO THINK ANALYTICALLY AND, MOVING FORWARD WITH A VALUE SYSTEM, A VALUE SYSTEM THAT’S CONSISTENT OUR HIGHEST IDEALS AND THOSE OF OUR PARENTS AND OUR GRANDPARENTS. SO IT’S A FASCINATING TIME. BUT BECAUSE IT’S SO POLITICALLY CHARGED, IT’S ALSO DELICATE KYRA. IT’S GETTING SOMETIMES INTO SOME DIFFICULT TERRITORY TO NOT SOUND PARTISAN, BUT I REALLY BELIEVE THE RULE OF LAW IS NOT PARTISAN. IT’S ABOUT FACTS, IT’S ABOUT FAIRNESS. IT’S THERE REALLY TO PROTECT THE INDIVIDUAL AGAINST AN OVERBEARING GOVERNMENT, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. >> THAT’S WHY EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE YOUR CLASS. KIM BOTTOM LINE KIM WEHLE YOU. WELL, RUDY GIULIANI AND TWO CO-DEFENDANTS HAVE ENTERED PLEAS OF NOT GUILTY IN A PHOENIX COURTROOM TODAY. THE FORMER NEW YORK MAYOR ALONG WITH TWO FORMER ATTORNEYS OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES INCLUDE FRAUD, CONSPIRACY AND FORGERY FOR THEIR ALLEGED EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS IN ARIZONA. THIS COMES AFTER GIULIANI WAS SERVED WITH INDICTMENT PAPERS AFTER HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION OVER THE WEEKEND IN A NOW DELETED EXPO POST, HE HAD TAUNTED ARIZONA AUTHORITIES OVER EVADING BEING SERVED. ARIZONA IS ONE OF THREE STATES TO PURSUE OF 2020 ELECTION INTERFERENCE WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL KRIS MAYES SAYING NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW. >> ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU LASHING OUT OVER THE DECISION BY THE CHIEF PROSECUTOR, THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, TO SEEK A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST. PROSECUTOR KARIM KHAN ASKING A PANEL OF ICC JUDGES TO ISSUE WARRANTS FOR, ISRAELI GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND HAMAS LEADERS OVER THE OCTOBER SEVENTH ATTACK AND THE ONGOING WAR IN GAZA. PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU TELLING, GOOD MORNING, AMERICA. THAT KHAN IS JUST CREATING A FALSE EQUIVALENCE HERE. >> THAT’S LIKE SAYING AFTER 911. WELL, ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FOR GEORGE BUSH, BUT ALSO FOR BIN LADEN OR AFTER IN WORLD WAR TWO. WELL, I’M ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR FDR, BUT ALSO FOR HITLER. IT’S A HATCHET JOB. IT’S NOT SERIOUS. HE’S OUT TO DEFAME ISRAEL. AND HE’S ALSO POURING GASOLINE ON THE FIRES OF ANTI SEMITISM THAT ARE SPREADING AROUND THE WORLD BY SHRINKING. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT HAS THE LATEST FOR US. >> TEL AVIV BRET. HI, CAROL. SO THE QUESTION IS, COULD NETANYAHU ACTUALLY FACE CHARGES HERE NOW IF APPROVED BY A PANEL OF THREE JUDGES? THE CASE ACTUALLY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO PROCEED. THEY WILL ARREST WARRANTS FOR THESE OFFICIALS. NOW, NO WESTERN STYLE DEMOCRACY, IT MUST BE SAID, HAS BEEN ISSUED IN ARREST WARRANT. SO IF THIS DOES GO THROUGH, NETANYAHU WOULD BECOME THE FIRST AND IT WILL SHOCK ISRAEL AND ITS ALLIES, INCLUDING THE U.S.. NOW, THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM FOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS UNDER ANY ICC ARREST WARRANT WOULD BE THAT THE COURTS AROUND 124 MEMBER STATES WOULD BE UNDER A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO ARREST THESE OFFICIALS IF THEY TRAVEL TO ANY OF THOSE. NOW, IF THE COURT FINDS ENOUGH EVIDENCE OF THE CRIMES, IT CAN THEN SUMMON THE SUSPECT TO APPEAR VOLUNTARILY. THE COURT CAN ALSO ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT OF RELYING ON MEMBER COUNTRIES, MAKE THE ARREST AND TRANSFER THE SUSPECT TO THE ICC. NOW MEANS THAT THERE MIGHT BE RESTRICTIONS ON WHERE NETANYAHU WILL BE ABLE TO TRAVEL. THEN THERE WOULD BE A PRE TRIAL AND THEN A TRIAL BEFORE JUDGES IN WHICH THE PROSECUTION MUST PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS GUILTY OF THE CRIMES IN THIS CASE FOR WAR CRIMES AND FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. NOW, THOSE IMAGES OF YASSIN ANWAR ALONGSIDE NETANYAHU, THAT SPARKED A LOT OF ANGER HERE IN MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW CAN THERE BE A COMPARISON, THE PAIN AND THE DEATH THAT SINWAR HAS INFLICTED ON ISRAEL PEOPLE FROM OCTOBER 7TH AND BEYOND KYRA. ALL RIGHT. BRITT CLENNETT IN TEL AVIV FOR US, BRET, THANKS. IN THE PORT AU PRINCE AIRPORT HAS, BEEN REOPENED AFTER BEING CLOSED FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS AFTER UNPRECEDENTED VIOLENCE FORCED IT TO CLOSE, EFFECTIVELY SEALING OFF THE CAPITAL CITY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. SO FAR, ONLY SUNRISE AIRWAYS, A SMALL REGIONAL AIRLINE HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESUME FLIGHTS, BUT OTHER INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS COULD START OPERATING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. THE AIRPORT WAS ABLE TO REOPEN AFTER HAITIAN OFFICIALS BULLDOZED HUNDREDS OF HOMES. THE AREA. OFFICIALS SAY THAT GANG MEMBERS WERE CLIMBING OUT OF THE ROOFS OF THOSE HOMES THAT ACTUALLY SHOOT INTO THE AIRPORT, SOMETIMES HITTING PLANES THAT WERE PARKED ON THE RUNWAY. AND WE’VE NOW LEARNED THE IDENTITY OF THAT BRITISH WHO DIED DURING SEVERE TURBULENCE ON A SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT. A FACEBOOK POST BY A U.K. MUSICAL THEATER GROUP IDENTIFIED HIM AS 73 YEAR OLD JEFF KITCHEN. IT HAPPENED ON A FLIGHT FROM LONDON TO SINGAPORE LATE LAST NIGHT. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE PERSON THERE BEING CARRIED OUT OF THE PLANE ON A STRETCHER AFTER THE FLIGHT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN BANGKOK. AT LEAST 70 PEOPLE WERE INJURED. EMERGENCY MEDICAL TENTS WERE SET UP ON TARMAC TO TREAT THOSE WITH INJURIES. THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD NOW ANNOUNCING IT’S SENDING REPRESENTATIVES TO SUPPORT SINGAPORE’S INVESTIGATION. AND OUR PATRICK REEVELL IS FOLLOWING THE STORY FROM OUR LONDON BUREAU. PATRICK? >> HI, KYRA. WE ARE STILL LEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT OF SEVERE TURBULENCE THAT INJURED DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND AT LEAST ONE PASSENGER DEAD. THE SINGAPORE AIRLINES FLIGHT WAS FROM LONDON TO SINGAPORE WITH 211 PASSENGERS AND 18 CREW ON BOARD AND ABOUT 10 HOURS IN THE AIRLINE SAYS THE BOEING 777 HIT SUDDEN EXTREME. WELL, AT 37,000 FEET, WE’VE SEEN THE IMAGES FROM INSIDE SHOWING THE AFTERMATH. PASSENGERS ON BOARD HAVE DESCRIBED PEOPLE BEING SUDDENLY LAUNCHED UPWARDS AS THE PLANE ABRUPTLY DROPPED, SOME HITTING SO HARD INTO THE CEILING THAT THEY SMASHED THE OVERHEAD PANELS ABOVE THE PLANE WAS FORCED TO DIVERT TO BANGKOK IN THAILAND. THAI AUTHORITIES HAVE SAID AROUND 30 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED, HAVING SUFFERED MODERATE. A HOSPITAL IN BANGKOK SAID SIX PEOPLE ARE IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. TWO AMERICANS ARE AMONG THE INJURED, ACCORDING TO THE HOSPITAL. IT’S NOT CLEAR WHAT THEIR INJURIES ARE OR HOW SEVERE. THAI AUTHORITIES ALSO IDENTIFIED THE PASSENGER WHO DIED, A 73 YEAR OLD BRITISH MAN WHO THEY SAY WAS SUFFERING FROM A HEART CONDITION. SINGAPORE AIRLINES IN A STATEMENT HAS SAID IT EXPRESSES ITS DEEPEST CONDOLENCES AND DEEPLY APOLOGIZES FOR THE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. IT SAYS A TEAM THE AIRLINE HAS ARRIVED TO ASSIST. AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY INTO. THE INCIDENT. STILL A LOT TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WERE HURT KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, PATRICK, SO MUCH. AND BACK HERE AT HOME, AT LEAST FIVE STATES ARE FACING TORNADO THREATS. HUGE HAIL, WIND GUSTS UP TO 90 MILES PER HOUR ARE FORECAST ACROSS THE MIDWEST NOW AFTER MORE THAN 100 REPORTS OF SEVERE STORMS YESTERDAY FROM COLORADO TO MICHIGAN.

DARIEN SUTTON JOINING NOW. SO DOC NESTLE STARTED WORKING ON THESE SPECIAL FOODS FOR APPETITE SUPPRESSING DRUGS LAST YEAR. SO WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR? >> YOU KNOW, I’M ALWAYS HAPPY WHEN THERE’S INNOVATION IN THE WORLD OF NUTRITION, TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BETTER OPTIONS THAT ARE MORE ACCESSIBLE, ESPECIALLY AT A LOW COST. BUT, KYRA, I DO HAVE A SKEPTICAL EYE WHEN I’M LOOKING AT THIS. I’M GLAD KNOW THEY’RE MAKING THESE HAVE REPORTEDLY PORTION CONTROL MEALS REINFORCED WITH PROTEIN, FIBER, IRON AND CALCIUM. OF COURSE, FOR THOSE WHO ARE ON GLP ONE AGONIST MEDICATIONS LIKE WEGOVY, OZEMPIC, ZAP DOWN AS WELL AS OTHERS. THE GOAL IS TO MAKING SURE THAT YOU’RE HAVING HIGH VALUE NUTRITION, SOURCE MEAL OR NUTRITION NUTRITIOUS MEAL. BUT I DON’T WANT TO TAKE A STEP BACK FROM THIS AND REMIND THAT. YOU DON’T HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL, REINVENT THE WHEEL TO EAT HEALTHY.

AN ESTIMATED 8 TO 10% OF THE POPULATION AT THIS POINT IN AND GROWING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PROTEIN IS RICH IN THEIR DIET, YOU KNOW, LOOKING LEAN SOURCES OF PROTEIN, THAT, OF COURSE, THE MOST COMMON THINGS BEING COMMON POULTRY AND LEAN MEATS. >> BUT ALSO YOU CAN LOOK AT VEGETABLES, YOU KNOW, AND YOU CAN ALSO LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS. YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THINGS LIKE TOFU. YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THINGS LIKE NUTS AND CERTAIN LEGUMES. AND YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT THOSE ARE SUPPLEMENTED YOUR DIET. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE, KYRA, IS NOT JUST THE DIET. >> IT’S ALSO STRENGTH TRAINING, STRENGTH TRAINING 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK TO MAINTAIN THAT MUSCLE MASS AS YOU’RE LOSING WEIGHT IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT. OH, YEAH. EVEN AS YOU GET OLDER, I’M FEELING THAT ALREADY. SO THE PRODUCTS ALSO WILL BE PROCESS BOOST. SO DOESN’T THAT DIMINISH FROM THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE? A LOT OF TIMES THESE FROZEN MEALS, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE A LOT OF INGREDIENTS THAT AREN’T GOOD FOR YOU KYRA YOU AND I ARE IN THE SAME THOUGHT ABOUT THIS WHEN I LOOK AT PRODUCTS LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY SOMETHING THAT’S FROZEN. MY FIRST QUESTION ALSO THE NUTRITION LABEL, HOW MUCH PROCESSED INGREDIENTS ARE INSIDE OF THIS WE ALREADY SEE THE INCREASED STUDIES OR THE AVAILABILITY OF STUDIES AND DATA SHOW US THAT PROCESSED FOODS INCREASE OUR RISK OF LATE OF CANCER, OF EARLY PREMATURE DEATH, AS WELL AS OTHER RISK FACTORS OR COMPLICATIONS. AND SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE AGAIN, YOU DON’T HAVE TO REINVENT THAT WHEEL TAKING A STEP BACK, FOCUSING ON NON PROCESSED FOODS, STICKING TO A DIET THAT IS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, GETTING PROTEIN, LIMITING YOUR ADDED SUGAR, EVEN ADDING FIBER IN THAT DIET TO HELP WITH YOUR GUT MOBILITY, TO DECREASE THE RISK OF CONSTIPATION, WHICH A VERY COMMON COMPLICATION OF THESE MEDICATIONS. I THINK IT’S KEEPING IT SIMPLE IS THE KEY HERE. >> AND JUST ONE MORE QUESTION, IF YOU DON’T MIND, DOC. I ALWAYS LOOK, IF HAVE TO GO THE FROZEN ROUTE AT THE SODIUM, I LEARNED THAT FROM DOCTOR YEARS AGO. I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED HOW HIGH SOMETHING MAYBE LOW IN CALORIE LOW FAT, BUT A LOT OF THESE FROZEN FOODS HAVE AMOUNTS OF SALT, WHICH IS AWFUL FOR ANY OF US, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT AND YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING AT THESE NUTRITION LABELS, SODIUM DECEPTIVELY SNEAKS IN THERE. ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT I PAY ATTENTION TO NOT SODIUM HERE, BUT ALSO ADDED SUGAR. THE DAY’S ALLOTMENT OF ADDED SUGAR CAN BE IN ONE BOTTLE OF JUICE. SO I THINK PAYING ATTENTION, THOSE NUTRITION LABELS ARE FOREVER IMPORTANT. AND AS YOU SAID, YES, SODIUM CAN BE THAT SNEAKY CULPRIT BECAUSE IT’S OFTEN USED AS AN ADDITIVE FOR. >> BUT YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE PAYING ATTENTION TO IT. TIME TO START COOKING, DARREN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. DR. SAID. THAT’S REALLY THE BEST WAY TO DO IT, RIGHT? IT’S THE BEST I CAN. BUT YES, I MEAN. >> COMING UP, PRESIDENT BIDEN RELEASING 1 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL FROM THE NATION’S RESERVE.

THE JURY TO START DELIBERATIONS NEXT WEEK. WHAT WE’VE LEARNED FROM WITNESS TESTIMONY AND WHAT COULD COME NEXT FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT. AND IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, ACTRESS SCARLETT JOHANSSON GOING AFTER OPEN AIR FOR ALLEGEDLY USING A VOICE SIMILAR TO HERS. AND A NEW TOOL. WHY SHE’S SLAMMING THE COMPANY FOR USING HER LIKENESS. SO IN TODAY’S BIG STORY, NEARIN, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. THE DEFENSE RESTING ITS CASE AFTER THE PROSECUTION’S CROSS-EXAMINATION OF THE SOMETIME COMBAT WITNESS, BOB COSTELLO. COSTELLO ACCUSED OF GIVING JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN THE SIDE. I WAS GIVEN A STERN WARNING AFTER. THE JUDGE CLEARED THE COURTROOM TO ADMONISH THE ATTORNEY THAT ONCE WAS AN ADVISER TO MICHAEL COHEN. THE JURY NOW ADJOURNED NEXT TUESDAY WHEN THEY WILL LIKELY HEAR A FULL DAY OF CLOSING ARGUMENTS. JOINING ME NOW, ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND LAW PROFESSOR KIM WEHLE. SO KIM WEHLE TO TALK ABOUT THIS THAT, YOU KNOW, JUDGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPARTIAL, YET HE BOOTS ALL OF THE REPORTERS OUT OF THE COURTROOM TO TELL BOB COSTELLO, DON’T GIVE ME THE SIDE EYE. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THE VIBE IS IN THE COURTROOM RIGHT NOW AND EVEN MORE SO, HOW HOW THE JUDGE IS HANDLING ALL IT SORT OF SEEMED LIKE HE KIND OF LOST IT. >> WELL, FROM WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE HERE, IT’S REALLY UNUSUAL TO HAVE THAT KIND OF DISRESPECT FOR A JUDGE WHERE REPORTEDLY AND THIS IS A LAWYER WAS MAKING COMMENTS UNDER HIS BREATH WHEN THE JUDGE SUSTAINED OBJECTION TO HIS TESTIMONY. I MEAN, THE JUDGE HAS TO MANAGE THE COURTROOM IN A IN WAY THAT IS DEMONSTRATES ORDER. AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE A LIKE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOM. SO I’M ACTUALLY NOT THAT SURPRISED THAT THE JUDGE PUSHED BACK BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE GOTTEN REALLY OUT OF CONTROL. AND IT’S TERRIBLE FOR THE JURY TO SEE THAT IT’S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR THE DEFENSE. IT’S SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL. HE EMPTIED THE COURTROOM OF REPORTERS. OF COURSE, THERE’S A FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUE THERE. BUT REMEMBER THAT KINDS OF CONVERSATIONS GO RIGHT TO THE PRESS THROUGH DONALD MOUTH AND RIGHT AFTER COURT. AND I THINK THE JUDGE UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE AND HIM MAKING THOSE COMMENTS THEN BLOW UP TO INTO, YOU KNOW, JUDGE MERCHAN IS SOMEHOW NOT BUT IS BIASED. YOU’RE NOT NOT BEING FAIR TO DONALD TRUMP, WHICH SO FAR HE’S BEEN DOING THIS BY THE BOOK. >> SO YOU WROTE THIS OP ED FOR THE HILL. YOU SAY TRUMP’S DEFENSE TEAM HAS ONLY ONE STRATEGY LEFT. >> IT’S THE SAME. I THINK THEY STARTED WITH AN OPENING ARGUMENTS, KYRA, AND THAT IS LISTEN WHAT EVEN IF DONALD TRUMP DID EVERYTHING THAT THE PROSECUTION THAT HE DID, THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CRIME FOR WHICH A FORMER PRESIDENT IS PROSECUTED AND POTENTIALLY INCARCERATED. HE COULD FACE UP TO FOUR YEARS IN PRISON. AND THEY’RE ESSENTIALLY SAYING, LISTEN, HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS ARE WHAT RICH AND FAMOUS PEOPLE DO. YOU MIGHT NEED TO HOLD NOSE FOR THEM. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, DEMOCRACY MEANS YOU ELECTED AT WHATEVER COST. THAT’S NOT TRUE. THERE ARE WAYS OF GETTING THAT ARE LEGAL. AND THE PROSECUTION’S ARGUMENT IS, YOU KNOW, MAKE A CAMPAIGN DONATION TO PAY OFF SOMEONE TO, KEEP QUIET ABOUT AN AFFAIR, IS A VIOLATION OF THE ELECTION LAWS WHICH WHICH THIS FALSIFICATION OF RECORDS CHARGE UP TO A MISDEMEANOR AH, EXCUSE ME, A FELONY. BUT THEY’RE ESSENTIALLY ASKING I THINK THEY WILL ASK THE JURY TO NULLIFY THE LAW. AND THAT I THINK ALSO, IS DEMONSTRATED BY THE FACT THEY DIDN’T CALL ANY WITNESSES. >> YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN’T CALL HIS BODYGUARD, FOR EXAMPLE, KEITH SCHILLER, TO SAY, LISTEN, THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MICHAEL COHEN CALLED, AT LEAST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THEY DIDN’T REALLY AT THE HEART OF THE CASE THAT DONALD TRUMP DIRECTED THIS OTHER THAN TO TRY TO REFUTE MICHAEL COHEN’S CREDIBILITY. >> BUT THERE’S SO MUCH EVIDENCE ,YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP ON COURT RECORD AND SAYING, LET’S PAY KAREN MCDOUGAL IN CASH. WE KNOW HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS. ALLEN WEISSELBERG’S HANDWRITING AND THE PAYBACK FOR STORMY DANIELS, INCLUDING A GROSS FOR TAXES CONSISTENT WITH GOVERNMENT’S THEORY. >> NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE FOR WHY THIS HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. I DON’T THINK THE JURY REASONABLY CAN THINK AT THIS MOMENT THAT MICHAEL COHEN DID THIS COMPLETELY ON HIS OWN WITH NO KNOWLEDGE FROM DONALD TRUMP. >> YOU KNOW, HOPE HICKS TESTIFYING. SHE DIDN’T BELIEVE IT REALLY WHEN WHEN WHEN DONALD TRUMP SAID, LISTEN, THIS WAS ALL MICHAEL COHEN. SHE TESTIFIED SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF NO MICHAEL COHEN WOULDN’T DO THAT, WOULDN’T JUST DO THAT OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART, TAKE OUT A, YOU KNOW, A HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT ON HIS OWN HOME. >> SO I DON’T THINK THAT THAT THEN THERE IS ANOTHER STORY FOR TO GIVE REASONABLE DOUBT OTHER THAN TO SAY, LISTEN, THIS IS OVERREACH THING EVEN IF THE LAW IS SATISFIED AS THE GOVERNMENT HAS SET FORTH THE CASE. >> SO I’VE BEEN WANTING TO ASK YOU THIS, ALL THIS WRAPS UP AND THIS CASE BECOMES HISTORY. WHAT IS PROFESSOR KIM WEHLE GOING TO TELL HER STUDENTS ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK VERSUS DONALD J. >> TRUMP? GOSH, THERE’S SO MUCH YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE TO THIS IS AN ALL OF THESE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT LINCHPINS FOR DEMOCRACY BECAUSE THE OTHER GUARDRAILS AROUND THE PRESIDENCY TO PREVENT ABUSE OF OFFICE HAVEN’T WORKED IMPEACHMENT CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT WITHHOLDING FUNDING THE THE 25TH AMENDMENT ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE PRESIDENTS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ABIDE BY THE RULE OF LAW. >> NONE OF THOSE DURING THE LAST ADMINISTRATION AND THE SUPREME COURT AND, JUDGE CANNON, ARE PREVENTING THE FEDERAL CASES ESSENTIALLY FROM GOING TRIAL BEFORE NOVEMBER. AND WE KNOW THAT THE VOTERS SOME VOTERS HAVE SAID A VERDICT IN CONVICTING HIM IS A FELONY AS. >> A FELON WILL BE IMPORTANT WHEN THEY GO TO THE POLLS. I THINK THAT’S IMPORTANT. THE PIECE, KYRA, IS, LISTEN, THE COURT SYSTEM IS WORKING. >> JUDGES AND JURIES BASE DECISIONS ON LAW AND AUTHENTIC RATED VERIFIED FACTS. AND FOR FORMER PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, HIM TO ATTACK THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS AN ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY ITSELF. AND I DO TELL MY STUDENTS YOU NEED TO PRACTICE LAW WITH THE UTMOST INTEGRITY, BECAUSE IF YOU LOSE THAT, YOU LOSE EVERYTHING. >> KIM WEHLE, APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. >> LET’S BRING IN THE BIG STORY TO OUR PANEL, SHALL WE. JOINING US TODAY, ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND OP ED COLUMNIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES, L.Z. GRANDERSON, ABC NEWS POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR HEIDI HEITKAMP. ALSO OUR CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN JOHN AND OUR CONTRIBUTOR IN SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MUSE. GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL. SO, L.Z., I OF COURSE, I’M GOING TO TAKE THIS TO YOU FIRST. YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE BLASTED BOB COSTELLO SAYING DON’T, GIVEE THE SIDE EYE. YOU KNOW, WE DIDN’T HAVE CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOM, SO A LOT OF THESE MOMENTS ARE REALLY UP TO OUR IMAGINATION. I’M JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD GIVE ME YOUR BEST SIDE EYE AND JUST TELL ME HOW YOU THINK. COSTELLO THREW THAT TO THE JUDGE. AND THEN AFTER YOU DO THAT, COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, YOU KNOW, DO YOU THINK THE JUDGE IS JUST FED UP WITH THE CAST CHARACTERS HERE? I’LL START WITH YOU FIRST, I GUESS WITH SIDE EYE, PLEASE. >> YES. I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S A BAD SITUATION AS MUCH AS THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF EXTRAORDINARY THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS COURTROOM. AND HE’S TRYING AS BEST HE CAN TO KEEP THE HISTORICAL COURT CASE ON TRACK. >> AND IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT TAKES THE STAND TO POINT IS THAT IS THE CHARACTER. BUT I WILL TRY RIGHT NOW TO GIVE A PROPER START. >> I TAKE I DON’T DO THAT VERY OFTEN. >> AND USUALLY SOMETHING USES. >> YES. OH, I GET IT TO, BELIEVE ME. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, THAT WAS EXCELLENT. L.Z., MIKE, SPEAKING OF THE CAST OF CHARACTERS HERE, TRUMP AND HIS, YOU KNOW, SKETCHY POSSE SHOWING TO SUPPORT HIM AT COURT. YOU HAD CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ, YOU HAD FORMER COMMISSIONER AND CONVICTED FELON BERNIE KERIK. >> YOU HAD A HELLS ANGEL, FOR GOODNESS SAKE. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS ALL ABOUT, EMPOWERING TRUMP OR SCARING THE JURY? >> OH, THAT’S INTERESTING QUESTION. ON THE LATTER PART ABOUT SCARING THE JURY, I DO THINK THERE COULD BE A POSSIBILITY ABOUT JURY INTIMIDATION WHEN YOU HAD THOSE INDIVIDUALS WALK INTO THEIR ROOM, IN PARTICULAR, WHAT YOU AND CAMERA ARE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER AND THAT MOMENT WHERE JUDGE EXCUSE THE PRESS, BUT ALLOWED WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE HYSTERIA GUESTS IS MAY BE IN THE ROOM. AND SO THERE IS THIS DYNAMIC OF IS THIS JURY INTIMIDATION. THAT IS A QUESTION THAT IS BEING TALKED ABOUT AND BEING ASKED. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO HIS SURROGATE COMING OUT AND ACTUALLY MAKING STATEMENTS WHILE COURT IS SESSION AND WHILE THEY’RE ON BREAK, FOR ME, THAT IS JUST A CAMPAIGN STOP. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AS A MASTER AT USING MEDIA FOR HIS OWN GOOD STRATEGICALLY. AND I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE CAMPAIGN STRATEGY IS BECAUSE IT’S CONSTANT FREE EARNED MEDIA THAT WE GET A CHANCE TO SEE PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE WAY WE COVER IT ON A DAILY CONSISTENT BASIS. AND SO I LOOK AT THIS MORE SO AS A CAMPAIGN STOP. >> AND JOHN, SPEAKING OF POLITICS, YOU KNOW, POLITICS WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS CAST OF CHARACTERS, INCLUDING THE LAWMAKERS THAT DITCHED THEIR JOBS IN OUR NATION’S CAPITAL TO TAKE THIS FIELD TRIP UP TO THE COURTHOUSE AND PRETTY MUCH UP TO TRUMP? I MEAN, AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON? HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN’T SIT IN THE COURTROOM, BUT THE REST DID. >> I THINK IT’S PANDERING TO THE HIGHEST ORDER AND IT’S SOMETHING YOU KNOW, WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES IN ALL POSITIONS AND LIVES. AND ONE OF THEM IS TO HAVE SOME INTEGRITY IN WHAT WE’RE AND I THINK THEY TOOK SOME INTEGRITY OFF ALL OF THEM WHEN THEY CAME IN AT THAT COURTROOM AND GOT INVOLVED IN A PARTISAN THING LIKE LIKE AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE. BUT I’VE NEVER DONE IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. YOU GOT TO RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW. AND I THINK THAT’S THAT THAT’S NOT GOING AWAY FROM THE RULE OF LAW. AND THAT’S SOMETHING I WAS REALLY CONCERNED. >> POINT WELL MADE. AND, HEIDI, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE A DEMOCRAT, BUT WERE IN THE TRUMP ORBIT FOR A BIT OF TIME. HE WANTED YOU TO SWITCH PARTIES . YOU DID IT. WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE IN THE TRUMP WORLD, THEN? >> WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE KICKED TO THE CURB? >> I MEAN, DO IT NOW AND SKIP TO THE. BUT I THINK I JUST SAID NO, NOT YOU KNOW, EITHER. >> OTHERS THINK I YOU KNOW, THE REALITY IS THAT YOU LISTEN TO MICHAEL OR TO COHEN, IT’S TESTIMONY. ANYBODY WHO HAS CROSSED FROM TRUMP WILL CROSS THEM BACK. THERE’S NO LOYALTY. THEY’RE THERE. AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE, TO SIT BEHIND HIM AND ASSUME THAT THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE HIS BEST FRIENDS FOREVER. HOW RIDICULOUS. ALL OF THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, AND THE JURY REALLY THE JURY DOESN’T EVEN KNOW THE SUPREME COURT WOULDN’T KNOW THE SUPREME COURT IF THEY WERE SITTING THEM. THIS IS ALL THE KEEP TRUMP, YOU KNOW, FEELING LIKE. HE’S GOT A POSSE, FEELING LIKE HE’S GOT FOLKS SUPPORTING HIM. AND I SHOULD EMPHASIZE ONCE AGAIN. YES, HEIDI, YOU DID SAY NO, OTHERS DID. AND WELL, LOOK, WHAT HOW DID YOUR TIMES. YES. THERE YOU GO. EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY APPLAUDED . L.Z., HEIDI, JOHN AND MIKE. THANKS, GUYS. GREAT CONVERSATION. >> COMING UP NEXT IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, SCARLETT JOHANSSON ISN’T FAKING IT. WHY THE HOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR IS TAKING ON OPEN AIR. AND A STORY YOU HAVE TO HEAR TO BELIEVE.

SO GET READY TO SMILE AND PUT THE GOOD INTO YOUR MORNING AMERICA BECAUSE KNOW WHAT WILL MAKE THE MORNING BETTER. >> A LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE TIME THE HEY CHATGPT, HOW ARE YOU DOING? >> I’M DOING FANTASTIC. >> THANKS FOR ASKING. ONCE UPON A TIME IN A WORLD NOT TOO DIFFERENT FROM OURS, THERE WAS A ROBOT NAMED BY. >> SO YOU JUST HEARD THE VOICE OF. OPEN AIR EYES CHATGPT VOICE ASSISTANT CALLED SKY A PROJECT . THE COMPANY IS NOW PUT ON PAUSE AFTER ACTRESS SCARLETT JOHANSSON ACCUSED THE COMPANY OF USING A VOICE THAT’S EERILY SIMILAR TO HER OWN. FANS POINT OUT THAT THE ACTRESS PREVIOUSLY VOICED THE SUPPORTING CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE TITLED HER WHERE A MAN DEVELOPS A RELATION SHIP WITH AN AI VIRTUAL ASSISTANT. THE FILM WAS RELEASED IN 2013. >> HERE’S PART OF THE CLIP. WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE ALIVE IN THAT ROOM RIGHT NOW? FOR SURE. ALL HANDS AROUND YOU OR SHE COULD TOUCH YOU. >> HOW WOULD YOU ME WOOF! SCARLETT JOHANSSON SAYS THAT SHE WAS SHOCKED ANGERED AND IN DISBELIEF THAT OPEN AIR CEO SAM ALTMAN WOULD USE A VOICE SO SIMILAR TO HERS. SHE DECLINED AN OFFER FROM THE COMPANY. WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY APPROACHED HER TO VOICE THEIR TECHNOLOGY. WELL, IN A STATEMENT, ALTMAN DENIES THAT THE CHATGPT VOICE IS BASED ON THE HOLLYWOOD STARS LIKENESS, SAYING THAT THE VOICE ACTOR FOR ITS ASSISTANT WAS CAST BEFORE THEY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN JOHANSON. LET’S BRING BACK MY PANEL, L.Z., HEIDI, JOHN AND MIKE, L.Z.. I WAS A MAJOR STICKING POINT IN THE RECENT HOLLYWOOD STRIKE. WHAT DOES THIS DO TO THE TRUST HERE OR LACK THEREOF, YOU THINK, IN THE INDUSTRY WHERE TRUST WORKS? TRUST. THIS IS LIKE REAL SCIENCE 2.0. WE’RE LIKE THE NERD SCREEN AT VOICE OF THEIR STORIES. YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO GO OUT THERE, GADGETS. I THINK THIS IS JUST A SELF-INFLICTED WOUND. I THINK THIS WAS ALL POORLY THOUGHT OUT. AND BY THE WAY, STARTED JOHANNSON WAS PART OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST GROSSING MOVIE FRANCHISES OF ALL TIME. AND SHE SUED THAT STUDIO AND WON. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> SO, HEIDI, IF THE VOICE WASN’T ENOUGH, OPEN AIR CHIEF SAM ALTMAN TWEETED THE WORD HER RECENTLY, A REFERENCE TO THE MOVIE, THE SAME NAME WHERE JOHANSEN PLAYED IN A VOICE ASSISTANT. I REGULATION’S ALREADY A MAJOR TALKING POINT ON CAPITOL. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS EVOLVING NOW THAT WE SEE ACTUALLY WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE WITH JOHANSEN, YOU KNOW, FAMOUS ACTRESS, A BIG PLATFORM? >> WELL, ABSOLUTELY. AND LIKE L.Z. SAID, THEY PICKED ON THE WRONG PERSON. THEY COULD HAVE FOUND MAYBE SOMEBODY WHO WASN’T PAYING THAT MUCH ATTENTION. BUT RIGHT NOW, AMY KLOBUCHAR MOVED A COUPLE OF BILLS FORWARD. I THINK THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS, YOU SEE IT RIGHT HERE IN REAL TIME. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR PUTTING WORDS POLITICIANS MOUTHS? PUTTING WORDS IN AFTER SMELLS. IT’S VERY DANGEROUS. AND WE NEED TO HAVE AN AWARENESS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN. AND SOME WAY TO CALL IT OUT. AND GOOD FOR JOE HANSEN. >> GOOD FOR HER. WELL, JON, HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT? >> YEAH, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HEIDI. JUST SETTING OUT THE CONTEXT A LITTLE BIT. I THINK A REAL ROLE IS LITIGATION. ARE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT TRIALS, PATENT INFRINGEMENT. I MEAN, AUTHORS ARE GETTING ALL THEIR BOOKS LOADED IN THE AIR. PEOPLE WRITE STORIES BASED ON WHAT THE CONTENT THEY GOT FROM THESE BOOKS. SO THERE’S ALL KINDS OF HUGE ISSUES. AND I THINK LITIGATION IS GOING TO PLAY VERY BIG ROLE IN DEFINING THE PARAMETERS OF AIR. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THIS IS THE WILD WEST. AND IF ANYONE THINKS THEY KNOW HOW IT’S GOING TO UP, IT’S OUR DREAM BECAUSE NO ONE DOES. BUT WITH COVID AS VIGILANT POSSIBLE TO POLICE WHAT THEY’RE DOING AND MAKE ALL COMES AS THE U.S. IS FORMING A GLOBAL AIR SAFETY NETWORK WITH KEY INTERNATIONAL ALLIES. HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK A NETWORK LIKE THIS IS? YOU KNOW, AIR BECOMES I MEAN, SMARTER AND SMARTER BY THE DAY . >> IT’S IMPORTANT. I’VE ALWAYS SAID FROM THE BEGINNING THAT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE GUARDRAILS AND SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE AS WE CONSIDER THESE AIR TOOLS AND PRODUCTS. I’VE ALWAYS SAID TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE MORE ON AIR, BUT ALSO TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS FAR BEHIND WHEN IT COMES TO REALLY UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY. WE STILL HAVEN’T HAD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PASSED A PRIVACY DATA ACT THAT A LOT OF CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR. EUROPE, MILES AND YEARS AHEAD OF US WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, EUROPE IS ALREADY AHEAD OF US IN PUTTING TOGETHER REGULATIONS AND SYSTEMS IN PLACE WHERE THE U.S. IS STILL HOLDING HEARINGS. SO IT’S TRYING TO WRAP THEIR MINDS AROUND THE CONCEPT OF IT. HERE BEEN COVERING OPEN EYES DEMONSTRATION THAT THEY DID LAST WEEK AS WELL AS ALSO TO COVERING GOOGLE. AS I O DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE THAT THEY HAD. THE INNOVATION IS ACTUALLY AMAZING. I KNOW WE LOVE IN MEDIA. I’M NOT ONE OF THOSE IN MEDIA WHO LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THE FEAR ASPECT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. BUT FOR ME I LOOK AT IT FOR THE GOOD THAT IT COULD DO, AND PARTICULARLY FOR THE DEMOCRATIZATION THAT CAN CAUSE, IS ONE QUICK EXAMPLE. A CENTURY DISCUSSING OPEN AIR IN A DEMONSTRATION, THEY DID THE CHATGPT SYSTEM WAS ABLE TO SHOOT AT THE DEVELOPER AND LINEAR ALGEBRA AS SOMEONE WHO’S A STEM MAJOR, SOMEONE WHO DID NUCLEAR CHEMICAL RESEARCH. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A TUTOR SUCH AS THAT AT MY DISPOSAL IN A DORM ROOM AT 2 A.M. WHEN I’M HAVING COMPLICATED THINGS, REALLY UNDERSTANDING THAT. AND SO IT’S ALL ABOUT WAYS THAT I COULD HELP US IN THE DEMOCRATIZATION AND ALSO TO HELPING INDIVIDUALS THAT PHYSICALLY CHALLENGE THAT ARE HEARING IMPAIRED VISIBLY.
