WE WANT TO BEGIN WITH EXTREME WEATHER FROM COAST TO COAST, FROM TORNADOES TO BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. >> THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF SPRING IS DELIVERING A WIDE RANGE OF WEATHER THREATS, RESULTING IN POWER OUTAGES AND MAJOR TRAVEL DELAYS.

THE SAME STORM SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT THAT TORNADO TO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE IS NOW MOVING EAST THROUGH ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA

AND INTO MISSISSIPPI LATER TODAY. ANDREW. RHIANNON. >> ALL RIGHT, ALISON, THANK YOU. NOW TO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FINANCIAL TROUBLES. HE FACES A DEADLINE TODAY TO POST A BOND OF NEARLY HALF $1 BILLION IN HIS FRAUD CASE OR RISK HAVING HIS ASSETS SEIZED BY AUTHORITIES. HE’S ALSO EXPECTED IN COURT

TODAY ON A SEPARATE CASE. ABC’S PERRY RUSSOM HAS DETAILS ON THOSE. PERRY. GOOD MORNING RYAN. >> GOOD MORNING TO YOU. TRUMP REMAINS DEFIANT WITH THE THREAT OF AUTHORITIES POTENTIALLY SEIZING SOME OF HIS PRIZED PROPERTIES LOOMING OVER HIM. THIS MORNING, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DEMANDING NEW YORK KEEP

ITS HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER AS THE STATE GEARS UP TO POTENTIALLY SEE SOME OF HIS ASSETS AND A FUNDRAISING EMAIL YESTERDAY, TRUMP WRITING TRUMP TOWER IS MINE. YOU WILL NEVER SEES MY PROPERTY. A NEW YORK JUDGE FOUND TRUMP AND HIS ADULT SONS OVERSTATED THE VALUE OF NEARLY EVERY MAJOR PROPERTY THEY OWN TO

GET MORE FAVORABLE LOANS AND OTHER ADVANTAGES. ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES HAS SAID THE STATE COULD BEGIN SEIZING TRUMP’S ASSETS AS SOON AS TODAY IF HE FAILS TO SECURE A $464 MILLION BOND. TRUMP’S LAWYERS HAVE SAID HE DOES NOT HAVE THE CASH HIS LAWYERS HAVE SAID HE CAN COVER AT MOST, ABOUT A

QUARTER OF THE CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT, AND ANYTHING MORE, THEY SAID, WOULD BE A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY, TRUMP HAS CLAIMED ON SOCIAL MEDIA HE’S SITTING ON $500 MILLION CASH, BUT HE HASN’T PROVIDED ANY EVIDENCE. >> HIS LAWYER SAID HE MAY HAVE BEEN REFERRING TO MONEY ACCUMULATED OVER THE YEARS THAT

HE INTENDED TO SPEND ON HIS CAMPAIGN, BUT HE’S NOW COMPLAINING DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO BLEED HIM DRY. AMID ALL HIS LEGAL WOES, TRUMP ACTUALLY HASN’T SPENT ANY OF HIS OWN MONEY ON HIS CAMPAIGN SINCE 2016. >> TRUMP’S SON, ERIC, YESTERDAY CALLED THE $464 MILLION BOND AMOUNT UNPRECEDENTED EVERY

SINGLE PERSON WHEN I CAME TO THEM SAYING, HEY, CAN I GET A HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND? MARIA THEY WERE LAUGHING. THEY WERE LAUGHING. TOP EXECUTIVES OF THE LARGEST SURETY COMPANIES HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING OF THIS SIZE. LAWYERS FOR THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL ARE PUSHING BACK, OFFERING MULTIPLE EXAMPLES

OF BONDS OVER $1 BILLION. IN THE MEANTIME, TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN A NEW YORK COURTROOM TODAY. IN ANOTHER CASE, THE HUSH MONEY CASE INVOLVING STORMY DANIELS, WHERE THE JUDGE TODAY COULD SET A NEW TRIAL DATE. TRUMP DENIES WRONGDOING IN BOTH CASES. AS FOR THE $464 MILLION BOND DEADLINE, TRUMP’S APPEAL

FOR A LOWER BOND AMOUNT IS STILL PENDING BEFORE AN APPEALS COURT. ANDREW, BACK TO YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, PERRY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ISRAEL HAS REPORTEDLY AGREED TO A HOSTAGE DEAL PRESENTED BY THE U.S. BUT HAMAS HAS NOT YET RESPONDED. IF APPROVED, 40 HOSTAGES HELD BY HAMAS WOULD BE RELEASED IN

EXCHANGE FOR UP TO 800 PALESTINIAN PRISONERS. IT COMES AS AN ISRAELI DELEGATION ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON TODAY FOR TALKS ABOUT A POTENTIAL GROUND OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH, IN SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE SOUGHT SHELTER. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS A GROUND INVASION BY ISRAEL ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

WOULD BE A MISTAKE. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SPOKE WITH ABC’S RACHEL SCOTT ABOUT NETANYAHU’S POTENTIAL DECISION. WOULD THERE BE CONSEQUENCES IF HE DOES MOVE FORWARD? >> WELL, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME. >> BUT WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR IN TERMS OF OUR PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT SHOULD

HAPPEN. >> ARE YOU RULING OUT THAT THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES FROM THE UNITED STATES? >> I AM RULING OUT NOTHING. >> CRITICS, INCLUDING SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN, A DEMOCRAT, SLAMMED HARRIS FOR THE REMARKS, SAYING ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO ELIMINATE HAMAS, WHOSE FIGHTERS ARE BELIEVED TO BE HIDING IN FAH.

>> WE TURN NOW TO THE TERROR GROUP ISIS, K, WHICH HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEADLIEST TERROR ATTACK IN RUSSIA IN 20 YEARS. FRIDAY’S CONCERT ATTACK IN MOSCOW LEFT MORE THAN 130 DEAD. CONCERNS ABOUT ISIS K HAVE ALREADY PROMPTED FRANCE TO RAISE ITS TERROR ALERT LEVEL. HERE’S ABC’S DERRICK DENNIS.

>> THIS MORNING, FOUR SUSPECTS IN FRIDAY’S DEADLY ATTACK ON A CONCERT HALL IN MOSCOW HAVE APPEARED IN COURT CHARGED WITH TERRORISM. AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE WERE KILLED, 180 INJURED. VIDEO SHOWS THE TERRIFYING MOMENT THE GUNMAN FIRST STORMED THE COMPLEX, PEOPLE SCATTERING AND HIDING AS GUNSHOTS RING OUT. THE

LAST OF THE FOUR TO BE CHARGED CLAIMS HE WAS PAID 500,000 RUBLES, OR ABOUT $50,400, TO CARRY OUT THE ATTACK. ANOTHER SUSPECT, JUST 19 YEARS OLD, NOW IN A WHEELCHAIR. ALL ARE SAID TO BE OPERATIVES OF THE TERROR GROUP ISIS. K JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE, I ASKED OUR

COMMANDING GENERAL IN THE MIDDLE EAST ABOUT ISIS’S CAPACITY TO PROJECT ATTACKS FROM AFGHANISTAN. >> HE SAID THAT IN AS LITTLE AS SIX MONTHS, IT TURNED OUT TO BE CLOSER TO SIX DAYS. >> ANALYSTS SAY ISIS HAS GROWN STRONGER AFTER THE U.S. WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN IN 2021, WHEN THE TERROR GROUP’S

ENEMY, THE TALIBAN, SEIZED POWER. THEY SAY ISIS, K HAS LONG BEEN FOCUSED ON TARGETING RUSSIA FOR ITS INTERVENTIONS IN AFGHANISTAN, CHECHNYA AND SYRIA. THE U.S. SAYS IT SHARED INTELLIGENCE EARLIER THIS MONTH ABOUT A PLANNED TERROR ATTACK IN MOSCOW. BUT RUSSIA’S AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S. CLAIMS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FAILED TO PASS

ALONG CONCRETE INFORMATION. RUSSIA, MEANWHILE, IS BLAMING UKRAINE, BUT THE WHITE HOUSE DENIES THAT CLAIM AND INSISTS ISIS K IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN LIGHTING A CANDLE IN MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS. WITH MANY FAMILIES STILL WAITING FOR WORD ON THEIR LOVED ONES, THE ATTACK IS ALREADY RAISING CONCERNS IN

EUROPE. FRANCE IS RAISING ITS TERROR THREAT ALERT TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL, SAYING IT TOOK ISIS CASE CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY AND GENERAL THREATS FACING THE COUNTRY INTO ACCOUNT. ANDREW. >> RHIANNON, DERRICK, THANK YOU. NEW IMAGES OF A MAN POLICE SAY TOOK A PHOTO OF SOMEONE ELSE’S PLANE TICKET TO BOARD A FLIGHT

IN SALT LAKE CITY. AUTHORITIES SAY THE MAN IS SEEN HERE TAKING THE PHOTO OF THE TICKET WITH HIS PHONE, AND MOMENTS LATER HE’S SEEN AT THE GATE SHOWING THE TICKET ON HIS PHONE TO GET ONTO THE PLANE. EXPERTS SAY IT WAS PURE LUCK THAT FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WERE ABLE TO CATCH HIM BEFORE

THE PLANE TOOK OFF. >> DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE TRAVELING MUCH EASIER, BUT IT’S NOT INFALLIBLE. IN THIS CASE, WE SEE THAT A SIMPLE QR CODE COULD BE PHOTOGRAPHED FROM A PAPER COPY AND USED TO BOARD AN AIRPLANE. THIS GUY WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED IF WE HADN’T BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF SPRING BREAK,

WHERE ALMOST EVERY AIRPLANE SEAT IS SOLD OUT. >> THE MAN FACES A FELONY STOWAWAY CHARGE. HE REPORTEDLY SAID HE WAS JUST TRYING TO GET HOME AFTER BEING REBOOKED ON A LATER FLIGHT. >> IT IS TIME NOW FOR A LOOK AT YOUR MONDAY WEATHER. HAIL POUNDED CARS ON THIS HIGHWAY IN NORTHERN TEXAS YESTERDAY.

DOES THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN RUSSIA KNOWS HE’S IN CONTROL. >> BUT I SEE HE RECENTLY ENGINEERED AN ELECTION WITH NO REAL OPPOSITION THAT WOULD ENSURE HIS LANDSLIDE VICTORY. HE’S CRACKED DOWN ON DISSIDENTS. HE DOWN AN ATTEMPTED COUP, THE LEADER OF WHICH IS NOW DEAD.

PRESIDENT PUTIN ORDERING VULCAN A MERCENARY FIGHTERS TO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO THE RUSSIAN STATE. >> AND YET, CLEARLY, HE DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THIS. >> THE SMOLDERING AFTERMATH OF ONE OF THE DEADLIEST TERRORIST ATTACKS IN RUSSIA’S RECENT HISTORY. ON FRIDAY, GUNMEN BURST INTO A MOSCOW CONCERT HALL, OPENED

FIRE AND THEN SET THE ENTIRE PLACE ABLAZE. AS OF THIS MORNING, AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE ARE DEAD. MORE ARE HOSPITALIZED. AND PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS. THUS FAR, PUTIN HAS BLAMED OTHER COUNTRIES FOR THIS UKRAINE, EVEN THE U.S.. THIS HAS ALL THE MARKINGS OF AN ATTACK BY ISIS, WHICH RUSSIA

HAD BEEN LOUDLY WARNED ABOUT BY THE U.S. BEFORE THIS EVEN UNFOLDED. JUST A WARNING. SOME OF THE SOUND HERE IS GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING. WITH THAT, LET’S BRING IN ABC’S FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT PATRICK REEVELL, WHO USED TO BE BASED IN MOSCOW, BY THE WAY, PATRICK. CAN YOU JUST WALK US THROUGH HAPPENED.

>> HI BRAD. YEAH. I MEAN, AS YOU SAY, THIS WAS A HORRIFIC TERROR ATTACK AND IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DEADLY TERROR ATTACKS TO HIT RUSSIA IN ITS MODERN HISTORY. RIGHT NOW, THE DEATH TOLL STANDS AROUND 137 PEOPLE DEAD. THERE WERE OVER 100 PEOPLE HOSPITALIZED AS WELL, AT LEAST

FROM THIS ATTACK. MEN VERY HEAVILY ARMED WITH ASSAULT RIFLES STORMED INTO A MALL WITH A CONCERT HALL WHERE A PACKED ROCK CONCERT WAS GOING ON. AND THESE FOUR MEN ENTERED AND BEGAN TO SHOOTING PEOPLE. THERE THEY’RE JUST AWFUL VIDEOS CIRCULATING ONLINE WHERE WE SEE JUST THESE MEN FIRING POINT

BLANK RANGE OF PEOPLE. >> THEY BREAK INTO THE AUDITORIUM AND PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY AT FIRST UNSURE OF WHAT’S GOING ON AND THEN PANIC JUST BREAKS OUT. >> YEAH, FOR JUST LONDON, I WAS IN THE CONCERT HALL AT THIS MOMENT AND THIS UNCERTAINTY. WHERE TO GO? WHAT TO DO?

IT SCARED ME THE MOST AS EVERY PERSON THERE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. >> AT THE SAME TIME, IT APPEARS ONE OF THE MEN WAS SETTING FIRE TO THE BUILDING. A HUGE BLAZE BREAKS OUT. THIS IS A MASSIVE MALL. IT’S ONE OF THE LARGEST MALLS IN MOSCOW.

EVENTUALLY, THE ROOF COLLAPSES AND THE VIDEO THAT WE SEE OF THE AFTERMATH NOW IT’S JUST THIS ENORMOUS AUDITORIUM, I BELIEVE, HAS THE CAPACITY FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE JUST COMPLETELY TORCHED AND COLLAPSED. YESTERDAY, WE SAW A DAY OF NATIONAL MOURNING IN RUSSIA. WE SAW REALLY VERY, VERY BIG CROWDS OF PEOPLE LINING UP

TO LAY FLOWERS OUTSIDE THE MALL. >> IT IS A TRAGEDY THAT HAS AFFECTED OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY. THERE ALSO VERY LONG LINES OF PEOPLE GIVING BLOOD FOR THE VERY LARGE NUMBER OF WOUNDED. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE’S A HUGE SENSE OF SHOCK IN RUSSIA OVER THIS ATTACK.

I THINK THERE’S ALSO A DEEP SENSE OF CONFUSION OVER WHO DID IT, WHO DID DO IT. >> PATRICK. WE’VE BEEN TOLD ISIS FROM NON-RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES. I DIDN’T EVEN THAT ISIS HAD BEEF WITH RUSSIA NECESSARILY. I MEAN, WHAT WHAT DID HAPPEN? >> SO A GROUP CALLED ISIS-K HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY.

>> ISIS-K IS BASICALLY THE REGIONAL BRANCH, A REGIONAL OFFSHOOT OF ISIS THAT IS IN CENTRAL ASIA AND THAT IS MOSTLY BASED IN AFGHANISTAN. AND OBVIOUSLY, CENTRAL ASIA BORDERS RUSSIA AND THERE ARE VERY LARGE NUMBER OF CENTRAL ASIAN NATIONALS IN RUSSIA. >> AND THIS GROUP HAS TRIED TO TARGET RUSSIA FOR A LONG

TIME BACK IN, I BELIEVE, 2022. >> AND THEY SET OFF A BOMB OUTSIDE THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY IN KABUL. AND, YOU KNOW, ISIS, AS I SAY, FOR A LONG TIME, HAS TARGETED RUSSIA, IN PART BECAUSE IT’S BEEN A VERY LONG RUNNING ISLAMIC INSURGENCY IN THE CAUCASUS, IN CHECHNYA, BUT ALSO BECAUSE VLADIMIR PUTIN

INTERVENED MILITARILY IN SYRIA AND PLAYED AN ENORMOUS ROLE THERE AS U.S. TROOPS CONTINUE TO PULL BACK, RUSSIA IS MOVING IN. REACHING A DEAL WITH. >> TURKEY ON CONTROL OF KURDISH TERRITORY. AND SO FOR MANY YEARS, ICE HAS TRIED TO TARGET RUSSIA. THERE REGULARLY ARRESTS. THERE WERE SMALLER ATTACKS.

>> THERE WERE BOMB ATTACKS ON AIRLINERS. THE RUSSIAN PASSENGER JET FALLING OUT OF THE SKY OVER EGYPT, KILLING ALL 224 ON BOARD. >> BUT WE NEVER SAW A HUGE ATTACK LIKE THIS UNTIL NOW. >> HOW CLEAR WAS IT THAT ISIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN PLANNING SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

BECAUSE THE IDEA THAT THE U.S. APPARENTLY WARNED RUSSIA ABOUT THIS POSSIBILITY IS KIND OF WILD TO ME. >> SO JUST AT THE START OF MARCH, THERE WAS THIS VERY UNUSUAL WARNING FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYING VERY SPECIFICALLY THAT THERE WAS THE THREAT OF EXTREMIST ATTACKS ON CONCERTS IN MOSCOW AND THE

U.S., THAT IT SHARED INTELLIGENCE WITH RUSSIA AROUND THAT TIME. AND BEFORE THAT, THERE WAS THIS THREAT FROM ISIS AND THE ESSENCE OF PLANNING SIMILAR ATTACKS. AND THIS WARNING WAS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL BECAUSE IT HAD SPECIFIC IT WAS OTHER COUNTRIES ALSO JOINED IN THAT WARNING. >> AND RUSSIA NOW IS CLAIMING

IT DIDN’T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC INTELLIGENCE FROM THE U.S.. I THINK THE U.S. WILL CONTEST THAT RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES SO FAR HAVE COMPLETELY IGNORED THE ISIS CLAIM OR THE ISIS CONNECTION HERE. INSTEAD, WHAT WE SAW WAS VLADIMIR PUTIN, 24 HOURS AFTER THE ATTACK, GAVE HIS FIRST VIDEO ADDRESS ON THE ATTACK

AND HE DIDN’T MENTION ISIS AT ALL. AND INSTEAD HE SEEMED TO TRY AND SUGGEST, WITHOUT QUITE SAYING IT DIRECTLY, THAT UKRAINE SOMEHOW BORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ATTACK. HE SAID THAT THE MAN HAD BEEN HAD BEEN DETAINED WHILE TRYING TO CROSS INTO UKRAINE, AND HE CLAIMED THAT THERE HAD SOMEHOW

BEEN A CROSSING PREPARED FROM INSIDE UKRAINE TO CONDUCT NOT JUST THE REASSURANCE. >> AND THEN HE BROUGHT UP FROM WORLD WAR II, WHICH OBVIOUSLY YOU MIGHT ASK, WHY DOES THAT HAVE ANY PLACE HERE? AND THAT’S BECAUSE VLADIMIR PUTIN REFERS ALL THE TIME TO THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE AS .

ALLIES OF PUTIN HAVE BEEN MUCH LESS SUBTLE ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, THE EDITOR OF RUSSIA TODAY CAME OUT AND SAID IT BLUNTLY AND ACCUSED UKRAINE OF BEING BEHIND THE ATTACK AND ALSO ACCUSING THE U.S. OF BEING BEHIND THE ATTACK. >> AND THERE ARE LOTS OF OBVIOUSLY, CONSPIRACY THEORIES CIRCULATING ONLINE.

>> SOME PEOPLE THINK THIS COULD EVEN HAVE BEEN A FALSE FLAG ATTACK ORGANIZED BY THE KREMLIN TO TRY AND MOBILIZE SUPPORT FOR THE WAR IN UKRAINE. BUT THERE’S ANOTHER POSSIBILITY AS WELL THAT THIS WAS, AS IT DOES APPEAR, A REAL ISIS ATTACK ,BUT THAT THE KREMLIN BASICALLY DOESN’T WANT

TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND TRY AND TURN WHAT HAS BEEN A DEVASTATING FAILURE OF ITS SECURITY SERVICES, TRY AND TURN THAT INSTEAD INTO SOMETHING USEFUL FOR IT AND TO TRY AND MOBILIZE THIS RUSSIAN SOCIETY AGAINST UKRAINE. >> RIGHT. BECAUSE WE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT HOW PUTIN IS REALLY AVOIDED ACKNOWLEDGING TERROR

ATTACKS IN RUSSIA AT ALL BEFORE HE DECLARED VICTORY OVER ISIS LIKE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. CLEARLY, THIS DOESN’T IN WITH THAT STORYLINE. PATRICK REEVELL. COVERING RUSSIA, AS ALWAYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. EXCELLENT. ON “START HERE”. COULD A BIPARTISAN COMPROMISE COST THE NEW HOUSE SPEAKER HIS JOB?

>> WE’LL GO TO WASHINGTON AFTER THE BREAK. >> PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE A PHOTOGRAPHER RIGHT NOW OUT OF TOWN. VERY GOOD. IS THIS GINA OF DANGER AND THIS INCREDIBLE WAR BEAUTY, THAT’S THIS FIRST BREATH. SO. ALL RIGHT, THIS IS IT. THESE MOMENTS THAT YOU

IMMORTALIZE. MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE. THERE’S A MASTERPIECE EVERYWHERE. >> AND YOU’RE WATCHING AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE SCREEN. KEEP STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE LIVE >>. >> REMEMBER WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN PUT OUT HIS PROPOSED FOR THIS YEAR AND EVERYONE KIND OF CHUCKLED BECAUSE CONGRESS NEVER ACTUALLY PASSED THE BUDGET FOR

LAST YEAR? THE ONLY REASON THERE WASN’T A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OVER ALL THIS WAS BECAUSE THEY KEPT SIGNING THESE CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS. THEY’RE CALLED THESE EXTENSIONS THAT JUST EXTEND THE ARGUMENT. AT ONE POINT, WE DID THINK THERE WAS A DEAL WHILE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS REBELLED, KICKING THEIR OWN SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IN

THE PROCESS, INSTALLING A NEW ONE AND IGNITING THE SAME FIGHT ALL OVER AGAIN. WELL, THIS WEEKEND IT FINALLY CAME TO AN END. CONGRESS PASSED A $1.2 TRILLION SPENDING BILL AVERTING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. BUT THIS IS ALSO CREATING CHAOS IN THE GOP. ABC’S ALEX COHEN IS HERE TO FILL US IN.

SO ALLIE, THIS WAS REALLY RIGHT THIS WASN’T AN EXTENSION. >> THIS IS LIKE THE ACTUAL THING IT’S DONE. THIS IS THE ACTUAL THING FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. >> EVERYONE WILL GRACIOUSLY NOT GET TO HEAR YOU AND I TALKING ABOUT HOW WE ARE ON THE CUSP OF A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

CONGRESS HAS FULLY FUNDED ITS BUDGET UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER. THAT’S THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AS YOU NOTED, THOUGH, IT TOOK THEM SIX EXTRA MONTHS TO DO THIS. SO WHILE WE ARE TAKING A CELEBRATION LAP, WE’RE ALSO AT A PLACE WHERE IT’S LIKE SIX MONTHS FOR A FULL YEAR BUDGET.

THANKFULLY, THEY ARE DONE. >> THIS WAS WRAPPED UP IN THE VERY EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SATURDAY. BUT WAIT, SO I DON’T GET WHAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SIX MONTHS AGO, DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS WORKED TOGETHER TO CRAFT A COMPROMISE BILL. THE HARD CORE REPUBLICANS SAID, THIS IS SO TERRIBLE. WE’RE GOING TO GET RID OF OUR

SPEAKER. >> WHY IS IT OKAY FOR THOSE REPUBLICANS NOW? YEAH, IT’S NOT IT’S NOT OKAY NOW. IN FACT, IT’S PERHAPS MORE CHAOTIC THAN IT’S EVER BEEN. HERE’S THE BREAKDOWN. WHEN CONGRESS ACTED THIS WEEKEND, BASICALLY WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN THERE IS HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON HAD TO MAKE SOME TOUGH CHOICES

ABOUT WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. DID HE WANT TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPEN OR DID HE WANT TO KEEP HIS FAR RIGHT GOP FLANK SATISFIED? >> HE MADE A DECISION. I THINK THE FINAL PRODUCT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A LOT OF KEY PROVISIONS IN AND WINS AND A

MOVE IN THE DIRECTION WE WANT EVEN WITH OUR TINY, HISTORICALLY SMALL MAJORITY. >> HE’S KEEPING THE GOVERNMENT OPEN, EVEN IF IT IRRITATES SOME OF HIS FAR RIGHT MEMBERS. IF THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR TO YOU, THAT’S BECAUSE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN KEVIN MCCARTHY, WHO WAS THE SPEAKER OF THE

HOUSE, THE TIME, MADE THE SAME EXACT CALL. >> HE REALLY, REALLY IRRITATED MEMBERS AND THEY STRIPPED HIM OF HIS ROLE. WELL, NOW, SPEAKER JOHNSON’S MADE A PRETTY SIMILAR CALCULUS, AND HE IS FACING PRETTY SIMILAR THREATS. THIS FUNDING BILL PASSED WITHOUT THE MAJORITY OF THE MAJORITY. THIS WAS A DEMOCRAT BILL.

>> THIS IS A CHUCK SCHUMER BILL. SO ON FRIDAY, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SHE IS A PRETTY WELL KNOWN PERSON IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR CAUSING CHAOS. >> SHE LIKES TO BE A VOICE THAT SORT OF IS OPPOSITIONAL. SHE’S A MEMBER OF THE FAR RIGHT HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS, MARJORIE

TAYLOR GREENE SHE COMES RUNNING OUT OF THE HOUSE CHAMBER AFTER HAVING VOTED AGAINST THIS GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL. AND SHE LETS JOURNALISTS KNOW SHE’S DONE SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF CHAOS IN THE HOUSE. >> SHE’S GOING TO TRY TO GET RID OF SPEAKER JOHN. TODAY I FILED A MOTION

TO VACATE AFTER SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS BETRAYED OUR CONFERENCE AND BROKEN OUR RULES. WE WERE. >> SHE’S FILED WHAT’S CALLED A MOTION TO VACATE. BASICALLY, THAT’S SOMETHING WHERE MEMBERS CAN SAY WE HAVE LOST FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR SPEAKER AND WE WANT TO GET RID OF HIM AND GET HIM

OUT OF THIS ROLE. AND BECAUSE JOHNSON DECIDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS SPENDING BILL, SHE DECIDED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THAT AND FILE THIS MOTION. IT’S A LITTLE BIT THAN WHAT HAPPENED WITH MCCARTHY, THOUGH. SHE’S NOT NECESSARILY SAYING SHE WANTS TO HAVE THE VOTE.

SHE JUST WANTS JOHNSON ON NOTICE THAT SHE’S READY TO HIM AT ANY TIME. >> AND WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL LIKE, WHAT’S THE BEEF? IT’S LIKE YOU’RE WORKING WITH DEMOCRATS INSTEAD OF US. LIKE WHAT? WHAT WHAT IF, SAY, A MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE OR SOME OF THESE FAR RIGHT REPUBLICANS?

>> WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE TO HAVE HAPPEN INSTEAD? YEAH, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE’S PRIMARY ISSUES WITH MIKE JOHNSON AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT HAVE TO DO WITH THE WAY THAT HE MOVED THIS SPENDING BILL THROUGH THE HOUSE. >> SO, FIRST OF ALL, JOHNSON SHIRKED WHAT IS CALLED THE 72 HOUR RULE, WHICH

IS SOMETHING THAT SAYS THAT HE’S GOING TO GIVE HIS MEMBERS 72 HOURS TO READ THESE BIG BILLS BEFORE HE ASKS THEM TO VOTE ON IT, BECAUSE JOHNSON DIDN’T WANT TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN. HE SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO DISPENSE WITH THAT RULE AND HE FORCED HIS MEMBERS

TO VOTE ON THIS BILL A LITTLE OVER 24 HOURS AFTER IT WAS RELEASED. THAT ANNOYED MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE. NOW, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING THAT’S PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH TO REMOVE SOMEONE FROM A SPEAKERSHIP IN YOUR RIGHT. THE GREENS BIGGER ISSUE HERE HAS TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL CONTENTS OF THE FUNDING BILL.

NOW, SHE AND MANY REPUBLICAN MEMBERS FEEL LIKE JOHNSON DIDN’T DO THE THINGS THAT HE HE WAS GOING TO DO WITH THIS BILL. SHE WANTED MORE SPENDING CUTS. SHE WANTED THE BUILD UP COST A LOT LESS THAN IT DID. SHE ALSO WANTED POLICY RIDERS THAT WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THE CRISIS THAT SHE SEES GOING

ON AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER. SHE SAYS THAT THERE’S NOT ENOUGH HERE TO SHORE UP THE BORDER AND KEEP THE COUNTRY SAFE. SO BECAUSE OF ALL OF THOSE THINGS, SHE’S DECIDED IT’S TIME TO GET RID OF JOHNSON. NOW, THE REASON WHY THAT SHE DOESN’T WANT TO HOLD A VOTE

ON THIS RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE IF YOU GET RATE OF MIKE JOHNSON, THERE’S NOT AN EXTREMELY OBVIOUS SUCCESSOR. >> THIS HAS JUST BEEN A CLUSTER OF A MISTAKE AND IT HAS HARMED NOT JUST THE PARTY BUT THE NATION. >> WHEN KEVIN MCCARTHY LOST HIS JOB, YOU REMEMBER THE HOUSE

OF REPRESENTATIVES THROWN INTO CHAOS FOR THREE, FOUR WEEKS AS THEY STRUGGLED MIGHTILY TO FIND SOMEONE WHO COULD GET THE REQUISITE SUPPORT TO REPLACE HIM. >> THAT PROCESS ALLOWS EVERYONE TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS AND INTERNAL MEETINGS AND CONVERSATIONS, AND IT ALLOWS OTHER PEOPLE TO STEP FORWARD AND SAY THEY’RE WILLING TO RUN FOR IT.

SO MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS SAYING THAT SHE WANTS JOHNSON ON NOTICE. WHILE THERE ARE SOME CONVERSATIONS BEHIND THE SCENES ABOUT WHO COULD REALISTICALLY GET THE SUPPORT NEEDED TO FILL HIS ROLE. >> AND WHAT MAKES THIS ALSO INTERESTING IS BECAUSE OF ALL THE DYSFUNCTION RIGHT HERE, WE’RE SEEING REPUBLICAN MEMBERS

LIKE GET OUT OF DODGE JUST ON FRIDAY. >> MIKE GALLAGHER FROM WISCONSIN NOW SAYS HE WILL LEAVE HIS SEAT IN CONGRESS NEXT MONTH. >> THAT’S THE LATEST IN THE SLEW OF RETIREMENTS WHICH, TAKEN TOGETHER, MEAN THAT FOR MONTHS NOW, REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE SUCH A SLIM MAJORITY THAT THEY CAN ONLY MANAGE

ONE DEFECTION ON ANY GIVEN BILL. OTHERWISE, DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO OVERRIDE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO DO. >> ALLIE PICKERING IN WASHINGTON, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, BRAD. >> YOU KNOW, IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF REMARKABLE ABOUT THE DISCOURSE AROUND PRINCESS KATE IN ENGLAND OVER

THESE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WASN’T REALLY DRIVEN BY THE INFAMOUS BRITISH TABLOIDS. INSTEAD, IT WAS SOCIAL MEDIA. TIKTOK INSTAGRAM, WHERE SPECULATION ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. AFTER ALL, SHE HADN’T BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC FOR MONTHS AFTER A MYSTERIOUS SURGERY. THE ONLY VIDEO AVAILABLE WAS GRAINY AND KENSINGTON PALACE EVENTUALLY ADMITTED

THE ONLY AVAILABLE PHOTO OF HER HAD BEEN EDITED. SO WITH THE KING IN QUESTIONABLE HEALTH, WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE NEXT POTENTIAL BRITISH QUEEN? WELL, ON FRIDAY, PERHAPS IN RESPONSE TO ALL THIS, HE PUT OUT A VIDEO TO UPDATE THE BRITISH PUBLIC ABOUT HER CONDITION. >> AND IT WAS HERE WHERE SHE

ANNOUNCED SHE’S GOT CANCER. ABC’S FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI IS BASED IN LONDON. >> MAGGIE. I MEAN, CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THIS VIDEO THAT YOU BROUGHT? I DID. THE FIRST THING WHEN WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A VIDEO RELEASE AND THAT IT WAS

FROM THE PRINCESS OF WALES AND SHE WAS GOING TO ANNOUNCE THAT SHE HAD CANCER. I MEAN, HONESTLY, THE ENTIRE OFFICE WAS IN SHOCK. NO ONE SAW THIS COMING. AND I THINK THAT’S KIND OF WHAT THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD FELT. THIS WASN’T THE ENDING TO THIS SAGA THAT PEOPLE ANTICIPATED.

>> AND I THINK IT STOPPED A LOT OF PEOPLE COLD IN THEIR TRACKS. I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU PERSONALLY FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MESSAGES OF SUPPORT AND FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. WHILST I’VE BEEN RECOVERING FROM SURGERY. >> HERE YOU HAVE PRINCESS CATHERINE RELEASING THIS VIDEO,

AND IT’S A REALLY INTIMATE PERSONAL VIDEO. SHE’S SITTING ON A BENCH. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME TYPE OF PARK. SHE’S IN A CASUAL STRIPED SWEATER WEARING JEANS. >> AND SHE WENT INTO WHAT HAPPENED IN JANUARY. I UNDERWENT MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY IN LONDON. AND AT THE TIME, IT WAS THOUGHT THAT MY CONDITION WAS

NON-CANCEROUS. THE SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL. HOWEVER, TESTS AFTER THE OPERATION FOUND CANCER HAD BEEN PRESENT. >> BUT IF YOU REMEMBER, THIS ALL STARTED BACK IN JANUARY WHEN KATE WENT INTO WHAT SHE CALLS IN THE VIDEO A MAJOR ABDOMINAL. AND SHE SAYS AT THE TIME SHE BELIEVED AND THEY ALL BELIEVE

THAT IT WAS NON-CANCEROUS. AND THAT’S THE STATEMENT THAT KENSINGTON PALACE SENT OUT. NOW, SHE SAYS IT WASN’T UNTIL POST-OPERATIVE TESTS CAME BACK, PATHOLOGY CAME BACK THAT IT WAS REVEALED SHE HAD HAD CANCER. THIS, OF COURSE, CAME AS A HUGE SHOCK. AND WILLIAM AND I HAVE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN

TO PROCESS AND MANAGE THIS PRIVATELY FOR THE SAKE OF OUR YOUNG FAMILY. >> AND THAT IN FEBRUARY, AFTER SHE HAD RECOVERED FROM THE SURGERY, SHE WAS ABLE TO START PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY. AND THAT’S KIND OF WHERE WE’RE AT NOW. AND SHE JUST SHARED ALL OF THIS. SHE SHE AGAIN, SHE THANKED

PEOPLE FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND SHE ENDS BY EVEN REACHING OUT TO OTHERS, PEOPLE THAT HAVE CANCER, OTHER PEOPLE AND FAMILIES WHO ARE DEALING WITH CANCER. AND SHE JUST ENDED SIMPLY BY SAYING, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. >> WHAT IS THE PROGNOSIS? WHAT’S THE DIAGONAL LIKE? >> WHAT CANCER DOES SHE HAVE?

KENSINGTON PALACE HAS JUST ASKED FOR PRIVACY, FULL STOP. THEY’RE NOT SAYING WHAT TYPE OF CANCER. THEY’RE NOT SAYING WHAT STAGE THE CANCER IS. THEY’RE NOT REALLY EXPLAINING PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY YET. YOU KNOW, PLENTY OF DOCTORS HAVE KIND OF GONE IN HEADFIRST ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD MEAN. AND YOU CAN SPECULATE ONE WAY

OR THE OTHER. BUT THE HONEST ANSWER IS THAT RIGHT NOW WE ACTUALLY JUST HAVE NO IDEA, BRAD. >> SHE NEVER REALLY ADDRESSED ALL THE SPECULATION DIRECTLY. SHE NEVER SAID SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU CONSPIRACY THEORISTS? >> OR LIKE, SEE, LIKE I’M HERE. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

BUT I MEAN, WAS THIS THE ROYAL FAMILY TRYING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THAT BY PUTTING THIS OUT NOW IN A VIDEO FORM? >> YEAH, BUT I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, KENSINGTON PALACE WAS AWARE OF ALL OF THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES ONLINE. ALL OF THIS SPECULATION. THEY THINK EVERYONE IN THE WORLD, IT SEEMS, WAS AWARE

OF SOME OF THESE RUMORS. SO PUTTING OUT THIS VIDEO, THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. >> WE HOPE THAT YOU’LL UNDERSTAND THAT AS A FAMILY. WE NOW NEED SOME TIME, SPACE AND PRIVACY WHILE I COMPLETE MY TREATMENTS. >> AND THEY KNEW THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO USE THIS

TO EITHER, YOU KNOW, FURTHER FUEL CONSPIRACY THEORIES OR COULD IT SHUT DOWN THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES. I THINK THAT PART OF THE REASON WE SAW FROM PRINCESS KATE HERSELF, YOU KNOW, SHE DIDN’T USE A SPOKESPERSON. THIS WASN’T JUST A STATEMENT THAT WAS PUT OUT. AND YOU REMEMBER THE KING PUT

OUT A STATEMENT ABOUT THE HIS CANCER DIAGNOSIS. HE DIDN’T RELEASE A PERSONAL VIDEO. SO THE FACT THAT KATE WENT OUT THERE AND RELEASED THIS PERSONAL VIDEO IS REALLY HER TELLING THE WORLD IN HER OWN WORDS WHAT SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH. AND HE ALSO I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE WROTE THIS ALL HERSELF.

SO SHE’S REALLY TRYING TO CONVEY TO PEOPLE THAT THESE ARE HER OWN WORDS, HER OWN FEELINGS, HER OWN EMOTIONS, HER OWN PROBLEMS AND TROUBLES AND ISSUES RIGHT NOW AND FEARS. AND SHE WANTS TO SHARE THAT WITH PEOPLE. >> TAKEN BY THE BBC. RIGHT. LIKE THIS TIME, THE PHOTO

CREDIT WAS NOT THE PALACE OR WILLIAM OR KATE OR SOMEONE. >> EXACTLY. EXACTLY. SO THEY WERE TRYING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, A VERY CREDIBLE SOURCE. THEY WENT THROUGH SORT OF ALL THE TRADITIONAL MEDIA CHANNELS. THEY GAVE THE MEDIA 2 HOURS, HEADS UP EMBARGO ON THIS SO THAT EVERYONE COULD BE IN PLACE

TO REPORT THIS PROPERLY. AND IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY WELL THOUGHT OUT PROCESS AS WELL. AND I THINK THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE PALACE TO SORT OF TRY TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE NARRATIVE AGAIN, CLEARLY KIND OF GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. >> WE KNEW THAT SHE’D BEEN IN HOSPITAL.

YOU KNOW, WE’D SEEN THAT. AND IT SEEMED TO BE A LONG, QUIET PERIOD. AND I HAD THOUGHT TO MYSELF, HAD WONDERED IF SOMETHING WAS MORE SERIOUS. I THINK SHE SHOULD BE JUST LEFT ALONE TO GET ON AND HAVE A TREATMENT AND BE WITH HER FAMILY. >> NOW, YOU CAN SORT OF SEE

WHY. I MEAN, I THINK KATE SAYS IT HERSELF IN THE VIDEO, BUT SHE NEEDED TIME TO PROCESS THIS NEWS. SHE NEEDED TIME TO TELL HER HUSBAND AND HAVE THEM PROCESS THE NEWS. THEN THEY HAD TO TELL THREE LITTLE KIDS AND THEY HAD TO HAVE TIME TO PROCESS THIS NEWS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, KATE’S

ONLY 42 YEARS OLD. SHE HAS THREE KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF TEN. THAT’S A LOT FOR ANY FAMILY TO DEAL WITH. I FEEL AS IF THAT PART CAN BE SEEN AS GENUINE. RIGHT. LIKE ANYONE WOULD HAVE TO NEED TIME TO GET THEIR THOUGHTS TOGETHER BEFORE PRESENTING IT TO THE PUBLIC.

AND THAT WAS REALLY THE MESSAGE THAT THE PALACE WANTED TO GET ACROSS TO. IT WASN’T A GOOD, GOOD SORT OF NEWS TO ACTUALLY BREAK AT THIS STAGE, BUT I THINK HER HAND WAS WAS FORCED REALLY AND READ. >> SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN SEEING ONLINE IS PEOPLE EXPRESSING THEIR REGRET OVER SOME OF

THEIR FLIPPANT POSTS THAT THEY MADE ABOUT KATE’S NOW THAT SHE CAME OUT SAYING THAT SHE HAS CANCER. >> BUT ROBERT’S INTERESTING IS THAT THE ONE VERY REAL ISSUE PEOPLE ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT, WHICH WE’RE SEEING QUITE EVIDENTLY PLAYING OUT, IS THAT THE ROYAL FAMILY HAVE LIMITED NUMBERS OF SENIOR ROYALS RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THIS, BRAD. YOU THE KING? >> KING CHARLES, DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT. HE’S NOT TAKING ON MANY OFFICIAL DUTIES RIGHT NOW. HE’S REALLY TAKING A STEP BACK. YOU HAVE THE PRINCESS OF WALES, PRINCE, THE PRINCESS CATHERINE, WHO’S ALSO HAS TAKEN FULL STEPS BACK. SHE’S NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW.

YOU HAVE HER HUSBAND, THE PRINCE OF WALES, PRINCE WILLIAM, WHO HAS SAID HE’S TAKING TIME OFF UNTIL AFTER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY. SO HE’S OFF FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. BUT WHO DO YOU HAVE LEFT? RIGHT NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, CAMILLA IS THE STAR OF THE

ROYAL FAMILY. SHE HAS MULTIPLE THIS WEEK. SHE’S THE ONLY ONE THAT IS REALLY THE FACE OF THIS ROYAL FAMILY RIGHT NOW. SO NOT ONLY IS IT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE LIMITED NUMBER OF WORKING ROYALS THAT YOU HAVE LEFT, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU’RE NOT ABLE TO DO AS MUCH.

SO TO BE DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN TO ONLY ONE WORKING ROYAL WHO IS QUEEN CAMILLA, I MEAN, I WAS AT I THINK NO ONE SAW THIS COMING YET. >> REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE THESE ARE THE HEADS OF STATE, RIGHT? THESE ARE THE HEADS OF THE BRITISH STATE. NOW, THEY’RE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN

AT ONCE. YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAY, QUEEN ELIZABETH ONCE SAID YOU HAVE TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED AND THAT PERHAPS PART OF THE THINKING FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY HERE. >> ALL RIGHT, A MAGGIE RULLI IN LONDON. THANK YOU. THANKS. BACK. OKAY, ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK, THE BEST

PART OF COLLEGE SPORTS ARE THE BANDS, IF THEY’RE FROM THE WRONG SCHOOL. >> ONE LAST THING IS NEXT. YOU. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE, MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST. BBC NEWS AND “WORLD NEWS TONIGHT” WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED

NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL THE TELEVISION INSIDE THAT ROOM. I’VE NEVER SEEN A PLACE LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE. WOW. >> TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT TO THE U.S., MEXICO BORDER, I’M MARY BRUCE. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. >> YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE.

TO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. >> CBS. WE SAW TINY JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY BEAT WISCONSIN. OAKLAND UNIVERSITY OVER IN MICHIGAN, KNOCKED OFF MIGHTY KENTUCKY AND 13 SEED YALE. >> YES, THE IVY LEAGUE CHAMPS TOOK DOWN AUBURN. WHAT’S THE CROWD? >> SOME OF THE MOST EXCITED

PEOPLE IN THAT ARENA DON’T GO TO YALE AT ALL. >> WHY? >> THAT IS THE MARCHING BAND FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO WHO WAS NOT PLAYING THAT NIGHT . BUT YOU SEE, YALE’S PEP BAND HAD A SCHEDULING CONFLICT. THEY COULDN’T COME TO SPOKANE, WASHINGTON. AND YOU OF I.

IT’S JUST AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY. SO WITHIN HOURS OF THE BRACKET BEING POSTED, YALE PUT OUT A REQUEST TO THE IDAHO BANDS DIRECTOR ASKING, CAN YOU GUYS FILL IN? AND IDAHO TOOK IT SERIOUS EARLY . WE GOT THE MUSIC THIS MORNING. SO LET WE RELEARNED IT AND I

THINK WE SOUND PRETTY GOOD. THESE MUSICAL VOLUNTEERS HAD ONE PRACTICE THE DAY OF THE GAME. THEY LEARNED THE YALE FIGHT SONG. THEY ASKED THE CHEER SQUAD FOR EXTRA INPUT, AND THEY WERE YALE COLORS IN THE ARENA. THEY’RE USUALLY KNOWN AS THE IDAHO VANDALS, BUT IN HONOR OF THE YALE BULLDOGS, THEY DUBBED THEMSELVES

THE VANDOGS FOR THE DAY WHEN YALE STARTED MOUNTING A CHALLENGE TO THE SEC CHAMPIONS. THE BAND MEMBERS STARTED GETTING LEGIT PSYCHED. PLAYERS ON THE COURT DESCRIBED THEMSELVES AS CONFUSED. THEY WERE TOLD THEY WOULDN’T HAVE A BAND. >> SO WHO WERE ALL THESE TRUMPET PLAYERS SCREAMING EVERY TIME THEY SCORED A BASKET?

WELL, AFTER THIS THRILLING VICTORY, YALE’S HEAD COACH ADMITTED THIS CROWD WITH THE BAND LEADING THEM, HAD HELPED SWING MOMENTUM IN THEIR FAVOR. IT ALSO GUARANTEED THE VANDOGS A REPEAT PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT IN ROUND TWO. AND THESE SCHOOLS COULD NOT BE MORE DIFFERENT. ONE IS A RURAL CAMPUS FOR ITS AGRICULTURE PROGRAM.

THE OTHER IN NEW HAVEN IS THE THIRD OLDEST COLLEGE IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT NOW THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE A KINSHIP FORGED PURELY BY THE MADNESS OF MARCH. BY THE WAY, IF YOU’RE WONDERING NOT A SINGLE MEN’S BRACKET SUBMITTED TO ESPN.COM IS STILL INTACT AT THIS POINT.

AND IN THE ABC NEWS POOL, I’M CURRENTLY 45TH OUT OF 200, WHICH IS OKAY. AND I HAD A JONATHAN KARL. THAT’S GOOD. AHEAD, I HAD MY BOSS LIZ ALESSE, WHICH I GUESS THEY SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT AT THIS EXACT MOMENT. WE JUST NEED THE VANDOGS PLAYING OUR SONG.

THEN WE’LL GO ON A RUN RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. >> I’M BRAD MIELKE. I’LL SEE YOU TOMORROW WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE. >> MORE AMERICANS TURN HERE. ANY OTHER NEWSCAST, ABC NEWS, “WORLD NEWS TONIGHT” WITH MUIR ,AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS THE TELEVISION.

THE SAME STORM SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT THAT TORNADO TO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE IS NOW MOVING EAST THROUGH ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA AND INTO MISSISSIPPI LATER TODAY. ANDREW. RHIANNON. >> ALL RIGHT, ALIS, THANK YOU. NOW TO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FINANCIAL TROUBLES. HE FACES A

DEADLINE TODAY TO POST A BOND OF NEARLY HALF $1 BILLION IN HIS FRAUD CASE OR RISK HAVING HIS ASSETS SEIZED BY AUTHORITIES. HE’S ALSO EXPECTED IN COURT TODAY ON A SEPARATE CASE. ABC’S PERRY RUSSOM HAS DETAILS ON THOSE. PERRY. GOOD MORNING RYAN. >> GOOD MORNING TO YOU. TRUMP REMAINS DEFIANT WITH THE THREAT

OF AUTHORITIES POTENTIALLY SEIZING SOME OF HIS PRIZED PROPERTIES LOOMING OVER HIM. THIS MORNING, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DEMANDING NEW YORK KEEP ITS HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER AS THE STATE GEARS UP TO POTENTIALLY SEE SOME OF HIS ASSETS AND A FUNDRAISING EMAIL YESTERDAY, TRUMP WRITING TRUMP TOWER IS MINE. YOU WILL NEVER SEES MY

PROPERTY. A NEW YORK JUDGE FOUND TRUMP AND HIS ADULT SONS OVERSTATED THE VALUE OF NEARLY EVERY MAJOR PROPERTY THEY OWN TO GET MORE FAVORABLE LOANS AND OTHER ADVANTAGES. ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES HAS SAID THE STATE COULD BEGIN SEIZING TRUMP’S ASSETS AS SOON AS TODAY IF HE FAILS TO SECURE A $464

MILLION BOND. TRUMP’S LAWYERS HAVE SAID HE DOES NOT HAVE THE CASH HIS LAWYERS HAVE SAID HE CAN COVER AT MOST, ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT, AND ANYTHING MORE, THEY SAID, WOULD BE A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY, TRUMP HAS CLAIMED ON SOCIAL MEDIA HE’S SITTING ON $500 MILLION CASH, BUT HE HASN’T

PROVIDED ANY EVIDENCE. >> HIS LAWYER SAID HE MAY HAVE BEEN REFERRING TO MONEY ACCUMULATED OVER THE YEARS THAT HE INTENDED TO SPEND ON HIS CAMPAIGN, BUT HE’S NOW COMPLAINING DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO BLEED HIM DRY. AMID ALL HIS LEGAL WOES, TRUMP ACTUALLY HASN’T SPENT ANY OF HIS OWN MONEY ON HIS CAMPAIGN SINCE

2016. >> TRUMP’S SON, ERIC, YESTERDAY CALLED THE $464 MILLION BOND AMOUNT UNPRECEDENTED EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHEN I CAME TO THEM SAYING, HEY, CAN I GET A HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND? MARIA THEY WERE LAUGHING. THEY WERE LAUGHING. TOP EXECUTIVES OF THE LARGEST SURETY COMPANIES HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING OF THIS

SIZE. LAWYERS FOR THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL ARE PUSHING BACK, OFFERING MULTIPLE EXAMPLES OF BONDS OVER $1 BILLION. IN THE MEANTIME, TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN A NEW YORK COURTROOM TODAY. IN ANOTHER CASE, THE HUSH MONEY CASE INVOLVING STORMY DANIELS, WHERE THE JUDGE TODAY COULD SET A NEW TRIAL DATE.

TRUMP DENIES WRONGDOING IN BOTH CASES. AS FOR THE $464 MILLION BOND DEADLINE, TRUMP’S APPEAL FOR A LOWER BOND AMOUNT IS STILL PENDING BEFORE AN APPEALS COURT. ANDREW, BACK TO YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, PERRY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ISRAEL HAS REPORTEDLY AGREED TO A HOSTAGE DEAL PRESENTED BY THE U.S. BUT HAMAS

HAS NOT YET RESPONDED. IF APPROVED, 40 HOSTAGES HELD BY HAMAS WOULD BE RELEASED IN EXCHANGE FOR UP TO 800 PALESTINIAN PRISONERS. IT COMES AS AN ISRAELI DELEGATION ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON TODAY FOR TALKS ABOUT A POTENTIAL GROUND OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH, IN SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE

SOUGHT SHELTER. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS A GROUND INVASION BY ISRAEL ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU WOULD BE A MISTAKE. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS SPOKE WITH ABC’S RACHEL SCOTT ABOUT NETANYAHU’S POTENTIAL DECISION. WOULD THERE BE CONSEQUENCES IF HE DOES MOVE FORWARD? >> WELL, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME.

>> BUT WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR IN TERMS OF OUR PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT SHOULD HAPPEN. >> ARE YOU RULING OUT THAT THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES FROM THE UNITED STATES? >> I AM RULING OUT NOTHING. >> CRITICS, INCLUDING SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN, A DEMOCRAT, SLAMMED HARRIS FOR THE REMARKS,

SAYING ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO ELIMINATE HAMAS, WHOSE FIGHTERS ARE BELIEVED TO BE HIDING IN RAFAH. >> WE TURN NOW TO THE TERROR GROUP ISIS, K, WHICH HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEADLIEST TERROR ATTACK IN RUSSIA IN 20 YEARS. FRIDAY’S CONCERT ATTACK IN MOSCOW LEFT MORE THAN 130

DEAD. CONCERNS ABOUT ISIS K HAVE ALREADY PROMPTED FRANCE TO RAISE ITS TERROR ALERT LEVEL. HERE’S ABC’S DERRICK DENNIS. >> THIS MORNING, FOUR SUSPECTS IN FRIDAY’S DEADLY ATTACK ON A CONCERT HALL IN MOSCOW HAVE APPEARED IN COURT CHARGED WITH TERRORISM. AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE WERE KILLED, 180 INJURED. VIDEO SHOWS THE TERRIFYING MOMENT THE

GUNMAN FIRST STORMED THE COMPLEX, PEOPLE SCATTERING AND HIDING AS GUNSHOTS RING OUT. THE LAST OF THE FOUR TO BE CHARGED CLAIMS HE WAS PAID 500,000 RUBLES, OR ABOUT $50,400, TO CARRY OUT THE ATTACK. ANOTHER SUSPECT, JUST 19 YEARS OLD, NOW IN A WHEELCHAIR. ALL ARE SAID TO BE OPERATIVES OF THE TERROR

GROUP ISIS. K JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE, I ASKED OUR COMMANDING GENERAL IN THE MIDDLE EAST ABOUT ISIS’S CAPACITY TO PROJECT ATTACKS FROM AFGHANISTAN. >> HE SAID THAT IN AS LITTLE AS SIX MONTHS, IT TURNED OUT TO BE CLOSER TO SIX DAYS. >> ANALYSTS SAY ISIS HAS GROWN

ACTUALLY PASSED THE BUDGET FOR LAST YEAR? THE ONLY REASON THERE WASN’T A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN OVER ALL THIS WAS BECAUSE THEY KEPT SIGNING THESE CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS. THEY’RE CALLED THESE EXTENSIONS THAT JUST EXTEND THE ARGUMENT. AT ONE POINT, WE DID THINK THERE WAS A DEAL WHILE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS REBELLED, KICKING THEIR OWN

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IN THE PROCESS, INSTALLING A NEW ONE AND IGNITING THE SAME FIGHT ALL OVER AGAIN. WELL, THIS WEEKEND IT FINALLY CAME TO AN END. CONGRESS PASSED A $1.2 TRILLION SPENDING BILL AVERTING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. BUT THIS IS ALSO CREATING CHAOS IN THE GOP. ABC’S ALEX COHEN IS HERE

TO FILL US IN. SO ALLIE, THIS WAS REALLY RIGHT THIS WASN’T AN EXTENSION. >> THIS IS LIKE THE ACTUAL THING IT’S DONE. THIS IS THE ACTUAL THING FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. >> EVERYONE WILL GRACIOUSLY NOT GET TO HEAR YOU AND I TALKING ABOUT HOW WE ARE ON THE CUSP

OF A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. CONGRESS HAS FULLY FUNDED ITS BUDGET UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER. THAT’S THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AS YOU NOTED, THOUGH, IT TOOK THEM SIX EXTRA MONTHS TO DO THIS. SO WHILE WE ARE TAKING A CELEBRATION LAP, WE’RE ALSO AT A PLACE WHERE IT’S LIKE

SIX MONTHS FOR A FULL YEAR BUDGET. THANKFULLY, THEY ARE DONE. >> THIS WAS WRAPPED UP IN THE VERY EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SATURDAY. BUT WAIT, SO I DON’T GET WHAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SIX MONTHS AGO, DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS WORKED TOGETHER TO CRAFT A COMPROMISE BILL. THE HARD CORE REPUBLICANS SAID, THIS IS SO TERRIBLE.

WE’RE GOING TO GET RID OF OUR SPEAKER. >> WHY IS IT OKAY FOR THOSE REPUBLICANS NOW? YEAH, IT’S NOT IT’S NOT OKAY NOW. IN FACT, IT’S PERHAPS MORE CHAOTIC THAN IT’S EVER BEEN. HERE’S THE BREAKDOWN. WHEN CONGRESS ACTED THIS WEEKEND, BASICALLY WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN THERE IS HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON HAD

TO MAKE SOME TOUGH CHOICES ABOUT WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. DID HE WANT TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPEN OR DID HE WANT TO KEEP HIS FAR RIGHT GOP FLANK SATISFIED? >> HE MADE A DECISION. I THINK THE FINAL PRODUCT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A LOT OF KEY

PROVISIONS IN AND WINS AND A MOVE IN THE DIRECTION WE WANT EVEN WITH OUR TINY, HISTORICALLY SMALL MAJORITY. >> HE’S KEEPING THE GOVERNMENT OPEN, EVEN IF IT IRRITATES SOME OF HIS FAR RIGHT MEMBERS. IF THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR TO YOU, THAT’S BECAUSE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN KEVIN MCCARTHY,

WHO WAS THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, THE TIME, MADE THE SAME EXACT CALL. >> HE REALLY, REALLY IRRITATED MEMBERS AND THEY STRIPPED HIM OF HIS ROLE. WELL, NOW, SPEAKER JOHNSON’S MADE A PRETTY SIMILAR CALCULUS, AND HE IS FACING PRETTY SIMILAR THREATS. THIS FUNDING BILL PASSED WITHOUT THE MAJORITY OF THE MAJORITY.

THIS WAS A DEMOCRAT BILL. >> THIS IS A CHUCK SCHUMER BILL. SO ON FRIDAY, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SHE IS A PRETTY WELL KNOWN PERSON IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR CAUSING CHAOS. >> SHE LIKES TO BE A VOICE THAT SORT OF IS OPPOSITIONAL. SHE’S A MEMBER OF THE FAR RIGHT

HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SHE COMES RUNNING OUT OF THE HOUSE CHAMBER AFTER HAVING VOTED AGAINST THIS GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL. AND SHE LETS JOURNALISTS KNOW SHE’S DONE SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF CHAOS IN THE HOUSE. >> SHE’S GOING TO TRY TO GET RID OF SPEAKER JOHN.

TODAY I FILED A MOTION TO VACATE AFTER SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS BETRAYED OUR CONFERENCE AND BROKEN OUR RULES. WE WERE. >> SHE’S FILED WHAT’S CALLED A MOTION TO VACATE. BASICALLY, THAT’S SOMETHING WHERE MEMBERS CAN SAY WE HAVE LOST FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR SPEAKER AND WE WANT

TO GET RID OF HIM AND GET HIM OUT OF THIS ROLE. AND BECAUSE JOHNSON DECIDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS SPENDING BILL, SHE DECIDED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THAT AND FILE THIS MOTION. IT’S A LITTLE BIT THAN WHAT HAPPENED WITH MCCARTHY, THOUGH. SHE’S NOT NECESSARILY SAYING

SHE WANTS TO HAVE THE VOTE. SHE JUST WANTS JOHNSON ON NOTICE THAT SHE’S READY TO HIM AT ANY TIME. >> AND WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL LIKE, WHAT’S THE BEEF? IT’S LIKE YOU’RE WORKING WITH DEMOCRATS INSTEAD OF US. LIKE WHAT? WHAT WHAT IF, SAY, A MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE OR SOME OF THESE

FAR RIGHT REPUBLICANS? >> WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE TO HAVE HAPPEN INSTEAD? YEAH, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE’S PRIMARY ISSUES WITH MIKE JOHNSON AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT HAVE TO DO WITH THE WAY THAT HE MOVED THIS SPENDING BILL THROUGH THE HOUSE. >> SO, FIRST OF ALL, JOHNSON SHIRKED WHAT IS

CALLED THE 72 HOUR RULE, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT SAYS THAT HE’S GOING TO GIVE HIS MEMBERS 72 HOURS TO READ THESE BIG BILLS BEFORE HE ASKS THEM TO VOTE ON IT, BECAUSE JOHNSON DIDN’T WANT TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN. HE SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO DISPENSE WITH THAT RULE

AND HE FORCED HIS MEMBERS TO VOTE ON THIS BILL A LITTLE OVER 24 HOURS AFTER IT WAS RELEASED. THAT ANNOYED MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE. NOW, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING THAT’S PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH TO REMOVE SOMEONE FROM A SPEAKERSHIP IN YOUR RIGHT. THE GREENS BIGGER ISSUE HERE HAS TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL

CONTENTS OF THE FUNDING BILL. NOW, SHE AND MANY REPUBLICAN MEMBERS FEEL LIKE JOHNSON DIDN’T DO THE THINGS THAT HE HE WAS GOING TO DO WITH THIS BILL. SHE WANTED MORE SPENDING CUTS. SHE WANTED THE BUILD UP COST A LOT LESS THAN IT DID. SHE ALSO WANTED POLICY RIDERS THAT WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED

THE CRISIS THAT SHE SEES GOING ON AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER. SHE SAYS THAT THERE’S NOT ENOUGH HERE TO SHORE UP THE BORDER AND KEEP THE COUNTRY SAFE. SO BECAUSE OF ALL OF THOSE THINGS, SHE’S DECIDED IT’S TIME TO GET RID OF JOHNSON. NOW, THE REASON WHY THAT SHE

DOESN’T WANT TO HOLD A VOTE ON THIS RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE IF YOU GET RATE OF MIKE JOHNSON, THERE’S NOT AN EXTREMELY OBVIOUS SUCCESSOR. >> THIS HAS JUST BEEN A CLUSTER OF A MISTAKE AND IT HAS HARMED NOT JUST THE PARTY BUT THE NATION. >> WHEN KEVIN MCCARTHY LOST

HIS JOB, YOU REMEMBER THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THROWN INTO CHAOS FOR THREE, FOUR WEEKS AS THEY STRUGGLED MIGHTILY TO FIND SOMEONE WHO COULD GET THE REQUISITE SUPPORT TO REPLACE HIM. >> THAT PROCESS ALLOWS EVERYONE TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS AND INTERNAL MEETINGS AND CONVERSATIONS, AND IT ALLOWS OTHER PEOPLE TO STEP

FORWARD AND SAY THEY’RE WILLING TO RUN FOR IT. SO MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS SAYING THAT SHE WANTS JOHNSON ON NOTICE. WHILE THERE ARE SOME CONVERSATIONS BEHIND THE SCENES ABOUT WHO COULD REALISTICALLY GET THE SUPPORT NEEDED TO FILL HIS ROLE. >> AND WHAT MAKES THIS ALSO INTERESTING IS BECAUSE OF ALL

THE DYSFUNCTION RIGHT HERE, WE’RE SEEING REPUBLICAN MEMBERS LIKE GET OUT OF DODGE JUST ON FRIDAY. >> MIKE GALLAGHER FROM WISCONSIN NOW SAYS HE WILL LEAVE HIS SEAT IN CONGRESS NEXT MONTH. >> THAT’S THE LATEST IN THE SLEW OF RETIREMENTS WHICH, TAKEN TOGETHER, MEAN THAT FOR MONTHS NOW, REPUBLICANS

WILL HAVE SUCH A SLIM MAJORITY THAT THEY CAN ONLY MANAGE ONE DEFECTION ON ANY GIVEN BILL. OTHERWISE, DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO OVERRIDE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO DO. >> ALLIE PICKERING IN WASHINGTON, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, BRAD. >> YOU KNOW, IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF REMARKABLE

ABOUT THE DISCOURSE AROUND PRINCESS KATE IN ENGLAND OVER THESE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WASN’T REALLY DRIVEN BY THE INFAMOUS BRITISH TABLOIDS. INSTEAD, IT WAS SOCIAL MEDIA. TIKTOK INSTAGRAM, WHERE SPECULATION ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. AFTER ALL, SHE HADN’T BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC FOR MONTHS AFTER A MYSTERIOUS SURGERY.

THE ONLY VIDEO AVAILABLE WAS GRAINY AND KENSINGTON PALACE EVENTUALLY ADMITTED THE ONLY AVAILABLE PHOTO OF HER HAD BEEN EDITED. SO WITH THE KING IN QUESTIONABLE HEALTH, WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE NEXT POTENTIAL BRITISH QUEEN? WELL, ON FRIDAY, PERHAPS IN RESPONSE TO ALL THIS, HE PUT OUT A VIDEO TO UPDATE

THE BRITISH PUBLIC ABOUT HER CONDITION. >> AND IT WAS HERE WHERE SHE ANNOUNCED SHE’S GOT CANCER. ABC’S FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI IS BASED IN LONDON. >> MAGGIE. I MEAN, CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THIS VIDEO THAT YOU BROUGHT? I DID. THE FIRST THING WHEN WE FOUND

OUT THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A VIDEO RELEASE AND THAT IT WAS FROM THE PRINCESS OF WALES AND SHE WAS GOING TO ANNOUNCE THAT SHE HAD CANCER. I MEAN, HONESTLY, THE ENTIRE OFFICE WAS IN SHOCK. NO ONE SAW THIS COMING. AND I THINK THAT’S KIND OF WHAT

THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD FELT. THIS WASN’T THE ENDING TO THIS SAGA THAT PEOPLE ANTICIPATED. >> AND I THINK IT STOPPED A LOT OF PEOPLE COLD IN THEIR TRACKS. I WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU PERSONALLY FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MESSAGES OF SUPPORT AND FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

WHILST I’VE BEEN RECOVERING FROM SURGERY. >> HERE YOU HAVE PRINCESS CATHERINE RELEASING THIS VIDEO, AND IT’S A REALLY INTIMATE PERSONAL VIDEO. SHE’S SITTING ON A BENCH. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME TYPE OF PARK. SHE’S IN A CASUAL STRIPED SWEATER WEARING JEANS. >> AND SHE WENT INTO WHAT HAPPENED IN JANUARY.

I UNDERWENT MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY IN LONDON. AND AT THE TIME, IT WAS THOUGHT THAT MY CONDITION WAS NON-CANCEROUS. THE SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL. HOWEVER, TESTS AFTER THE OPERATION FOUND CANCER HAD BEEN PRESENT. >> BUT IF YOU REMEMBER, THIS ALL STARTED BACK IN JANUARY WHEN KATE WENT INTO WHAT SHE CALLS IN THE VIDEO

A MAJOR ABDOMINAL. AND SHE SAYS AT THE TIME SHE BELIEVED AND THEY ALL BELIEVE THAT IT WAS NON-CANCEROUS. AND THAT’S THE STATEMENT THAT KENSINGTON PALACE SENT OUT. NOW, SHE SAYS IT WASN’T UNTIL POST-OPERATIVE TESTS CAME BACK, PATHOLOGY CAME BACK THAT IT WAS REVEALED SHE HAD HAD CANCER.

THIS, OF COURSE, CAME AS A HUGE SHOCK. AND WILLIAM AND I HAVE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROCESS AND MANAGE THIS PRIVATELY FOR THE SAKE OF OUR YOUNG FAMILY. >> AND THAT IN FEBRUARY, AFTER SHE HAD RECOVERED FROM THE SURGERY, SHE WAS ABLE TO START PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY.

AND THAT’S KIND OF WHERE WE’RE AT NOW. AND SHE JUST SHARED ALL OF THIS. SHE SHE AGAIN, SHE THANKED PEOPLE FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND SHE ENDS BY EVEN REACHING OUT TO OTHERS, PEOPLE THAT HAVE CANCER, OTHER PEOPLE AND FAMILIES WHO ARE DEALING WITH CANCER. AND SHE JUST ENDED SIMPLY

BY SAYING, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. >> WHAT IS THE PROGNOSIS? WHAT’S THE DIAGONAL LIKE? >> WHAT CANCER DOES SHE HAVE? KENSINGTON PALACE HAS JUST ASKED FOR PRIVACY, FULL STOP. THEY’RE NOT SAYING WHAT TYPE OF CANCER. THEY’RE NOT SAYING WHAT STAGE THE CANCER IS. THEY’RE NOT REALLY EXPLAINING PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY YET.

YOU KNOW, PLENTY OF DOCTORS HAVE KIND OF GONE IN HEADFIRST ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD MEAN. AND YOU CAN SPECULATE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. BUT THE HONEST ANSWER IS THAT RIGHT NOW WE ACTUALLY JUST HAVE NO IDEA, BRAD. >> SHE NEVER REALLY ADDRESSED ALL THE SPECULATION DIRECTLY. SHE NEVER SAID SOMETHING LIKE,

YOU KNOW, WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU CONSPIRACY THEORISTS? >> OR LIKE, SEE, LIKE I’M HERE. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. BUT I MEAN, WAS THIS THE ROYAL FAMILY TRYING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THAT BY PUTTING THIS OUT NOW IN A VIDEO FORM? >> YEAH, BUT I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, KENSINGTON PALACE WAS AWARE

OF ALL OF THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES ONLINE. ALL OF THIS SPECULATION. THEY THINK EVERYONE IN THE WORLD, IT SEEMS, WAS AWARE OF SOME OF THESE RUMORS. SO PUTTING OUT THIS VIDEO, THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. >> WE HOPE THAT YOU’LL UNDERSTAND THAT AS A FAMILY. WE NOW NEED SOME TIME,

SPACE AND PRIVACY WHILE I COMPLETE MY TREATMENTS. >> AND THEY KNEW THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO USE THIS TO EITHER, YOU KNOW, FURTHER FUEL CONSPIRACY THEORIES OR COULD IT SHUT DOWN THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES. I THINK THAT PART OF THE REASON WE SAW FROM PRINCESS KATE HERSELF, YOU KNOW, SHE

DIDN’T USE A SPOKESPERSON. THIS WASN’T JUST A STATEMENT THAT WAS PUT OUT. AND YOU REMEMBER THE KING PUT OUT A STATEMENT ABOUT THE HIS CANCER DIAGNOSIS. HE DIDN’T RELEASE A PERSONAL VIDEO. SO THE FACT THAT KATE WENT OUT THERE AND RELEASED THIS PERSONAL VIDEO IS REALLY HER TELLING THE WORLD IN HER

OWN WORDS WHAT SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH. AND HE ALSO I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE WROTE THIS ALL HERSELF. SO SHE’S REALLY TRYING TO CONVEY TO PEOPLE THAT THESE ARE HER OWN WORDS, HER OWN FEELINGS, HER OWN EMOTIONS, HER OWN PROBLEMS AND TROUBLES AND ISSUES RIGHT NOW AND FEARS. AND SHE WANTS TO SHARE

THAT WITH PEOPLE. >> TAKEN BY THE BBC. RIGHT. LIKE THIS TIME, THE PHOTO CREDIT WAS NOT THE PALACE OR WILLIAM OR KATE OR SOMEONE. >> EXACTLY. EXACTLY. SO THEY WERE TRYING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, A VERY CREDIBLE SOURCE. THEY WENT THROUGH SORT OF ALL THE TRADITIONAL MEDIA CHANNELS.

THEY GAVE THE MEDIA 2 HOURS, HEADS UP EMBARGO ON THIS SO THAT EVERYONE COULD BE IN PLACE TO REPORT THIS PROPERLY. AND IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY WELL THOUGHT OUT PROCESS AS WELL. AND I THINK THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE PALACE TO SORT OF TRY TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE NARRATIVE

AGAIN, CLEARLY KIND OF GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. >> WE KNEW THAT SHE’D BEEN IN HOSPITAL. YOU KNOW, WE’D SEEN THAT. AND IT SEEMED TO BE A LONG, QUIET PERIOD. AND I HAD THOUGHT TO MYSELF, HAD WONDERED IF SOMETHING WAS MORE SERIOUS. I THINK SHE SHOULD BE JUST

LEFT ALONE TO GET ON AND HAVE A TREATMENT AND BE WITH HER FAMILY. >> NOW, YOU CAN SORT OF SEE WHY. I MEAN, I THINK KATE SAYS IT HERSELF IN THE VIDEO, BUT SHE NEEDED TIME TO PROCESS THIS NEWS. SHE NEEDED TIME TO TELL HER HUSBAND AND HAVE THEM PROCESS THE NEWS.

THEN THEY HAD TO TELL THREE LITTLE KIDS AND THEY HAD TO HAVE TIME TO PROCESS THIS NEWS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, KATE’S ONLY 42 YEARS OLD. SHE HAS THREE KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF TEN. THAT’S A LOT FOR ANY FAMILY TO DEAL WITH. I FEEL AS IF THAT PART CAN BE SEEN AS GENUINE.

RIGHT. LIKE ANYONE WOULD HAVE TO NEED TIME TO GET THEIR THOUGHTS TOGETHER BEFORE PRESENTING IT TO THE PUBLIC. AND THAT WAS REALLY THE MESSAGE THAT THE PALACE WANTED TO GET ACROSS TO. IT WASN’T A GOOD, GOOD SORT OF NEWS TO ACTUALLY BREAK AT THIS STAGE, BUT I THINK

HER HAND WAS WAS FORCED REALLY AND READ. >> SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN SEEING ONLINE IS PEOPLE EXPRESSING THEIR REGRET OVER SOME OF THEIR FLIPPANT POSTS THAT THEY MADE ABOUT KATE’S NOW THAT SHE CAME OUT SAYING THAT SHE HAS CANCER. >> BUT ROBERT’S INTERESTING IS THAT THE ONE VERY REAL ISSUE

PEOPLE ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT, WHICH WE’RE SEEING QUITE EVIDENTLY PLAYING OUT, IS THAT THE ROYAL FAMILY HAVE LIMITED NUMBERS OF SENIOR ROYALS RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THIS, BRAD. YOU THE KING? >> KING CHARLES, DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT. HE’S NOT TAKING ON MANY OFFICIAL DUTIES RIGHT NOW.

HE’S REALLY TAKING A STEP BACK. YOU HAVE THE PRINCESS OF WALES, PRINCE, THE PRINCESS CATHERINE, WHO’S ALSO HAS TAKEN FULL STEPS BACK. SHE’S NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE HER HUSBAND, THE PRINCE OF WALES, PRINCE WILLIAM, WHO HAS SAID HE’S TAKING TIME OFF UNTIL AFTER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS TO BE

WITH HIS FAMILY. SO HE’S OFF FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. BUT WHO DO YOU HAVE LEFT? RIGHT NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, CAMILLA IS THE STAR OF THE ROYAL FAMILY. SHE HAS MULTIPLE THIS WEEK. SHE’S THE ONLY ONE THAT IS REALLY THE FACE OF THIS ROYAL FAMILY RIGHT NOW.

SO NOT ONLY IS IT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE LIMITED NUMBER OF WORKING ROYALS THAT YOU HAVE LEFT, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU’RE NOT ABLE TO DO AS MUCH. SO TO BE DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN TO ONLY ONE WORKING ROYAL WHO IS QUEEN CAMILLA, I MEAN,

I WAS AT I THINK NO ONE SAW THIS COMING YET. >> REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE THESE ARE THE HEADS OF STATE, RIGHT? THESE ARE THE HEADS OF THE BRITISH STATE. NOW, THEY’RE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN AT ONCE. YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAY, QUEEN ELIZABETH ONCE SAID YOU

HAVE TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED AND THAT PERHAPS PART OF THE THINKING FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY HERE. >> ALL RIGHT, A MAGGIE RULLI IN LONDON. THANK YOU. THANKS. BACK. OKAY, ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK, THE BEST PART OF COLLEGE SPORTS ARE THE BAND

The internet can be a scary place. He had my name my social security number my address and he named my husband and son, but what’s happening now? Why did you decide to get married? I loved him. It’s just plain crazy. Scary. You just bold-faced lied to me and made up a whole story.

TAKEN TOGETHER, THE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S TOURNAMENTS CONSTITUTE THE SINGLE BIGGEST GAMBLING EVENT IN AMERICA. >> AND ON THE MEN’S SIDE, THERE

WERE TONS OF UPSETS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 41 YEARS, JAMES MADISON AND ADVANCES TO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. >> CBS. WE SAW TINY JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY BEAT WISCONSIN. OAKLAND UNIVERSITY OVER IN MICHIGAN, KNOCKED OFF MIGHTY KENTUCKY AND 13 SEED YALE. >> YES, THE IVY LEAGUE CHAMPS

TOOK DOWN AUBURN. WHAT’S THE CROWD? >> SOME OF THE MOST EXCITED PEOPLE IN THAT ARENA DON’T GO TO YALE AT ALL. >> WHY? >> THAT IS THE MARCHING BAND FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO WHO WAS NOT PLAYING THAT NIGHT . BUT YOU SEE, YALE’S PEP BAND HAD A SCHEDULING CONFLICT.

THEY COULDN’T COME TO SPOKANE, WASHINGTON. AND YOU OF I. IT’S JUST AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY. SO WITHIN HOURS OF THE BRACKET BEING POSTED, YALE PUT OUT A REQUEST TO THE IDAHO BANDS DIRECTOR ASKING, CAN YOU GUYS FILL IN? AND IDAHO TOOK IT SERIOUS EARLY .

WE GOT THE MUSIC THIS MORNING. SO LET WE RELEARNED IT AND I THINK WE SOUND PRETTY GOOD. THESE MUSICAL VOLUNTEERS HAD ONE PRACTICE THE DAY OF THE GAME. THEY LEARNED THE YALE FIGHT SONG. THEY ASKED THE CHEER SQUAD FOR EXTRA INPUT, AND THEY WERE YALE COLORS IN THE ARENA.

THEY’RE USUALLY KNOWN AS THE IDAHO VANDALS, BUT IN HONOR OF THE YALE BULLDOGS, THEY DUBBED THEMSELVES THE VANDOGS FOR THE DAY WHEN YALE STARTED MOUNTING A CHALLENGE TO THE SEC CHAMPIONS. THE BAND MEMBERS STARTED GETTING LEGIT PSYCHED. PLAYERS ON THE COURT DESCRIBED THEMSELVES AS CONFUSED. THEY WERE TOLD THEY WOULDN’T

HAVE A BAND. >> SO WHO WERE ALL THESE TRUMPET PLAYERS SCREAMING EVERY TIME THEY SCORED A BASKET? WELL, AFTER THIS THRILLING VICTORY, YALE’S HEAD COACH ADMITTED THIS CROWD WITH THE BAND LEADING THEM, HAD HELPED SWING MOMENTUM IN THEIR FAVOR. IT ALSO GUARANTEED THE VANDOGS A REPEAT PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT IN ROUND TWO.

AND THESE SCHOOLS COULD NOT BE MORE DIFFERENT. ONE IS A RURAL CAMPUS FOR ITS AGRICULTURE PROGRAM. THE OTHER IN NEW HAVEN IS THE THIRD OLDEST COLLEGE IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT NOW THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE A KINSHIP FORGED PURELY BY THE MADNESS OF MARCH. BY THE WAY, IF YOU’RE WONDERING

NOT A SINGLE MEN’S BRACKET SUBMITTED TO ESPN.COM IS STILL INTACT AT THIS POINT. AND IN THE ABC NEWS POOL, I’M CURRENTLY 45TH OUT OF 200, WHICH IS OKAY. AND I HAD A JONATHAN KARL. THAT’S GOOD. AHEAD, I HAD MY BOSS LIZ ALESSE, WHICH I GUESS THEY SHOULD STOP TALKING

ABOUT AT THIS EXACT MOMENT. WE JUST NEED THE VANDOGS PLAYING OUR SONG. THEN WE’LL GO ON A RUN RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. >> I’M BRAD MIELKE. I’LL SEE YOU TOMORROW What does it take to be the most watched news cast in America are part of an operation

Started chasing a dog first thing in the morning America this morning America’s number one early morning news on ABC News live. This is ABC News live the crushing families herereame streaming 24/7 straight to you for free. Thank you for making r one streaming news. Reporting from Miami Florida. I’m Victor Oquendo

Wherever the story is will take you there. You’re streaming ABC News live. AMERICA I AM DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST IT IS DEADLINE DAY FOR THE FORMER. TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR DONALD TRUMP TO SECURE A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND WHERE

HE MAY COME UP WITH THE MONEY AND WHY HE’S BACK IN COURT FOR A SEPARATE CASE TODAY. RUSSIA IS MOURNING AFTER A TERROR ATTACK AT A CONCERT HALL WHO IS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY RESPONSE AND WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE FOUR MEN IN CUSTODY RIGHT. PLUS, PRINCESS KATE’S DIAGNOSIS ,WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HER CANCER

REVELATION, SUPPORT FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN. AND SPRINGTIME STORMS ON MOVE THE TRACK AND TIMING OF SEVERE THREATS, BRINGING TWISTERS AND BLIZZARDS. >> PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. BUT WE BEGIN WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HEADED BACK TO COURT IN NEW YORK. HE’S EXPECTED TO ATTEND A HEARING OVER WHETHER

TO FURTHER DELAY THE TRIAL OVER HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS HE ALLEGEDLY MADE TO STORMY DANIELS AND KAREN MCDOUGAL AHEAD OF THE 2016 ELECTION. TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS HAVE DEMANDED A MONTH LONG DELAY. THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE. PROSECUTOR HERE SAY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PAGES RECENTLY TURNED IN DON’T CONTAIN MUCH

NEW INFORMATION AND SHOULDN’T TAKE THAT LONG TO REVIEW. MEANWHILE TODAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR TRUMP TO SECURE A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND TO APPEAL THE JUDGMENT IN HIS CIVIL FRAUD CASE. TRUMP AND HIS LAWYERS ARGUED THAT OBTAINING A BOND FOR THAT AMOUNT IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY IF YOU CAN’T SECURE THAT BOND.

NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES CAN START PROCESS OF SEIZING HIS ASSETS. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY THE LATEST NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES, IS DECIDING HOW AND WHEN TO BEGIN COLLECTING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. A JUDGE DONALD TRUMP OWES AFTER HOLDING HIM LIABLE FOR CORPORATE FRAUD.

>> THERE IS A SIGN JAMES INTENDS TO MOVE SWIFTLY AND AGGRESSIVELY. SHE HAS ALREADY FILED THE JUDGMENT IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY IN CASE SHE OPTS TO SEIZE TRUMP’S GOLF COURSE IN BRIARCLIFF MANOR OR HIS SEVEN SPRINGS ESTATE. IN ADDITION TO BUILDINGS IN MANHATTAN THAT BEAR TRUMP’S NAME AND PROPERTIES OUT OF STATE.

BUT NOTHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN TODAY. AN APPEALS COURT HAS NOT YET DECIDED WHETHER TO GRANT TRUMP’S REQUEST TO REDUCE, DELAY OR WAIVE THE BOND. >> HE TRIED SECURING THE FULL AMOUNT. >> MORE THAN 30 UNDERWRITERS TURNED HIM DOWN. EVERY SINGLE PERSON. WHY CAME TO THEM SAYING, HEY,

CAN I GET A HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND? MOORE YEAH. THEY WERE LAUGHING. >> THEY WERE LAUGHING. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE SAID THERE’S NOTHING UNUSUAL, EVEN BILLION DOLLAR JUDGMENTS BEING FULLY BONDED. >> TRUMP MAYBE ON A WINDFALL FROM A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT BEGINS TRADING THIS WEEK AS A PUBLIC COMPANY.

HIS STAKE ON PAPER IS ABOUT 3 BILLION DOLLARS. >> BUT TRUMP WOULD NEED BOARD PERMISSION, SELL SHARES NOW. >> INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY JOINS ME NOW, ALONG WITH EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR CHRIS TIMMINS FOR. ERIN, YOU MENTIONED

THAT TRUMP’S STAKE IN A SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY IS WORTH, ON PAPER ABOUT $3 BILLION. SO WHY CAN’T HE USE THAT MONEY TO POST THIS BOND? >> THERE’S A RESTRICTION ON HIS SHARES HE’S NOT ALLOWED TO CONVERT THEM INTO CASH FOR SIX MONTHS. HE COULD OPT TO ASK THE NEW

COMPANY’S BOARD FOR PERMISSION TO SELL HIS SHARES. NOW, TRY TO USE THAT CASH TO COLLATERALIZE THE BOND TO GUARANTEE HIS CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. >> BUT THAT’S A BIT RISKY FOR EVERYBODY ELSE HOLDING THE STOCK BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN DOING VERY WELL WITH SOCIAL BLOOD IN ABOUT $5

MILLION, BUT LOST 49 MILLION IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF LAST YEAR. AND THE STOCK HAS BEEN PROPPED UP BY TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS. IF HE WERE TO SELL OF THE FEAR BY SOME SHAREHOLDERS, COULD BE THAT THE WHOLE THING KIND OF CRATERS. SO IT’S AN OPEN QUESTION. THERE ARE A LOT OF SUPPORTERS

ON THAT BOARD THAT WOULD LIKELY GRANT HIM THE WAIVER BUT WE’RE STILL WAITING TO SEE WHEN THAT HAPPENS. >> JOHN, WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM TRUMP’S INNER CIRCLE ABOUT HOW THEY’RE PREPARING FOR THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE NEW YORK A.G. COULD SEIZE HIS ASSETS. I MEAN, ONE WORD THAT A SOURCE

CLOSE TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT USED TO HIM OVER THE WEEKEND, DIANE, WAS BRACING FOR IT AND BRACING FOR IT BECAUSE, AS ERIN JUST NOTED, THEY’VE PRACTICALLY RUN OUT OF ALL OPTIONS. SO THE REALITY IS THEY WENT TO 30 DIFFERENT COMPANIES TO TRY TO SECURE A BOND. TRUMP WAS REJECTED ALL 30.

THEY HAD THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE SELLING A PIECE OF REAL ESTATE. BUT AS DONALD TRUMP SAID THIS MORNING ON TRUTH, SOCIAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, THEY’RE HIS BABIES. AND THAT EXACTLY HITS TO THE HEART OF THIS, RIGHT? DONALD TRUMP HAS FIVE CHILDREN. THE SIXTH, IN MY MIND, IS THE

COMPANY AND IT IS HIS FAVORITE. HE BRAGS ABOUT IT. HE SHOWS IT OFF TO EVERYBODY LOOK. TODAY, HE’S GOING TO BE LEAVING TRUMP TOWER, WHERE HE LIVED FOR MANY YEARS. HE’S EXPECTED LATER TODAY TO POSSIBLY GIVE REMARKS AT ANOTHER PROPERTY DOWNTOWN AT 40 WALL STREET, WHICH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID SHE

SEES EVERY DAY WHEN SHE HEADS INTO COURT BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY. ALL OF THIS IS SPECIAL TO TRUMP . SO FOR THE MOMENT, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT TEAM TRUMP IS HOPING THE NEW YORK COURT OF APPEALS WILL STEP IN AND POSSIBLY CHANGE THE BOND BECAUSE FOR THE MOMENT, AS ERIN

JUST OUTLINED WITH YOU IN THAT PIECE, IT’S THE WHOLE AMOUNT IT’S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY. TRUMP APPARENTLY, ACCORDING TO HIS LAWYERS, DOESN’T HAVE THAT MUCH CASH ON HAND. SO IF THAT’S THE CASE. IF THEY GET IT NARROWED, THAT IS A WIN. THAT IS WHAT TEAM TRUMP IS HOPING ON FOR THE MOMENT.

NOW, BRIAN, TRUMP NEEDS TO SECURE THIS BOND IN ORDER TO APPEAL THE JUDGMENT THAT HE’S LIABLE FOR FRAUD. SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT? APPEALS IF HE CAN’T SECURE THE BOND? >> SO THE BOND IS TO HAVE A STAY WHILE PENDING THE APPEAL IF HE DOESN’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO STAY THE THE ENFORCEMENT

OF THAT JUDGMENT, THAT ATTORNEY JAMES CAN START SEIZING ASSETS, WHETHER IT BE BANK ACCOUNTS OR PROPERTY. IF HE DOESN’T HAVE THAT ABILITY, HE COULD START LOSING PROPERTY. BUT I THINK HE CAN STILL CONTINUE THAT APPEAL PROCESS. THE PROBLEM IS HE CAN SUFFER IRREPARABLE DAMAGES, AS HE’S ARGUED, BECAUSE IF FOR EXAMPLE

,ATTORNEY JAMES STARTS SELLING OFF TRUMP TOWER, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO SELL IT AT THE MARKET RATE OR EVEN SOMEONE EVEN CLOSE TO THAT COULD BE MUCH LOWER. SO IF HE DOES WIN HIS APPEAL AND HE TRIES TO GET BACK THAT PROPERTY, IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT HARDER FOR HIM BECAUSE

THEY’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO BUY IT BACK AT THAT REDUCED RATE. HE GOT TO TRY AND BUY BACK AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE. >> CHRIS MEANWHILE, TRUMP IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT FOR WHAT COULD BE THE FINAL PRETRIAL HEARING IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE AT. TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS WANT TO DELAY

SAYING THEY NEED TO GO OVER THIS NEW EVIDENCE, BUT PROSECUTORS SAY THEY’VE HAD ENOUGH TIME ALREADY. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING OUT ? AS THE NEW PAGES OF DOCUMENTS THAT WERE TURNED OVER BY THE SOUTHERN OF GEORGIA GOT A COUPLE DIFFERENT OPTIONS. ONE, PROBABLY THE MOST DRASTIC

IF THERE WERE SOME SORT OF FINDING OF BAD FAITH THAT THE CASE COULD BE DISMISSED, I DON’T THINK THAT THAT’S LIKELY TO HAPPEN. SO TODAY WHAT THEY’RE ARGUING OVER REALLY IS TIME, YOU KNOW, AND ALSO THE DOCUMENTS THEMSELVES CAN BE USED BY THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY

TO LOOK OVER THIS 200,000 PAGES OF DOCUMENTS. IT ACTUALLY DOESN’T TAKE AS LONG AS YOU WOULD THINK OF THAT. THEY SAID ROUGHLY 240 PAGES WERE RELEVANT AND THOSE RELEVANT DOCUMENTS, THEY ALL HELPED IN THE NEW YORK DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE. SO THEREFORE, THEY DON’T THINK THAT THE DEFENSE GETS ANY SORT

OF OPTION OF DISMISSAL OR OF DELAY. >> ALL RIGHT, AARON KATERSKY JOHN SANTUCCI BRIAN BUCKMIRE, CHRIS TIMMINS, THANK YOU ALL. AND WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW. BOEING PRESIDENT AND CEO DAVE CALHOUN HAS ANNOUNCED HE IS PLANNING TO STEP DOWN AT THE END OF THE YEAR. CALHOUN SAYS HE’LL REMAIN

ON THE BOARD THROUGH THE YEAR IN HOPES OF STABILIZING THE COMPANY AFTER A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS, CAUSING CONCERNS AROUND SAFETY. IN LETTER TO EMPLOYEES, CALHOUN CALLED THE ALASKA AIRLINES DOOR PLUG INCIDENT A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR BOEING. CALHOUN WENT ON TO SAY THAT QUOTE, IT HAS BEEN THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE OF MY

LIFE TO SERVE BOEING AND QUOTE, THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE ON US. >> AND I KNOW THAT WE WILL COME THROUGH THIS MOMENT A BETTER COMPANY. >> AND FOUR SUSPECTS ARE FACING TERRORISM CHARGES AFTER A DEADLY TERRORIST ATTACK ON A CONCERT IN. MOSCOW. ISIS IS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRIDAY’S ATTACK.

THAT CONCERT HALL THAT KILLED AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE AND INJURED 182. NOW WE’RE LEARNING THE U.S. HAD SHARED INFORMATION ABOUT A POSSIBLE ATTACK WITH RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES. >> BUT A RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT SAYS THE INFO WAS NOT CONCRETE. >> GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ HAS THE LATEST ON THE HORRIFIC TOLL OF THE MASS SHOOTING

EVIDENT AT THE SMOLDERING SCENE OF RUSSIA’S DEADLIEST ATTACK IN DECADES. MORE THAN 135 MEN, WOMEN AND. CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED. HUNDREDS MORE INJURED.

EXPLOSIVES AS THEY FLED WITHIN MINUTES. BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES POURING FROM THE FACILITY TRAPPING MANY INSIDE. AND CAVING IN THE ROOF. RUSSIA SAYING THEY CAPTURED AND CHARGED THESE MEN WITH THE SHOOTING. ONE CLEARLY BLOODIED AND BEATEN WITH REPORTS OF TORTURE AS WELL. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN CLAIMING WITHOUT THAT THE

TARGET A CONCERT HALL INSTEAD, HEEDING THE WARNING. PUTIN SAID THE U.S. WAS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL RUSSIA. >> THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT ONLY PASSED TO THE RUSSIAN, IT WAS MADE PUBLIC AS WELL. ISIS-K IS BASED IN AFGHANISTAN AND IS SEEKING REVENGE AGAINST RUSSIA FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT, THE WAR IN SYRIA AND ELSEWHERE.

ALSO THIS MORNING, IN THE WAKE OF THIS, FRANCE HAS RAISED ITS NATIONAL SECURITY ALERT SYSTEM TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL. >> DIANE, CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT, MARTHA RADDATZ, THANK YOU.

PRIVATELY FOR THE SAKE OF OUR YOUNG FAMILY.

WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS JUST ARRIVED IN COURT IN MANHATTAN FOR A HEARING SURROUNDING HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS HE ALLEGEDLY MADE TO STORMY DANIELS AND KAREN MCDOUGAL. WE WILL HAVE CONTINUING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BUT FIRST, WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S A RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. ISRAELI FORCES SAY THEIR RAID

IN AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL IN GAZA COULD GO ON FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS. ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAY MORE THAN 800 MEN HAVE BEEN DETAINED AND MORE THAN 140 HAMAS TERRORISTS HAVE BEEN KILLED SINCE THE IDF LAUNCHED RAID LAST MONDAY. THEY CLAIM SENIOR HAMAS TERRORISTS WERE USING THE TO CONDUCT AND PROMOTE TERRORIST ACTIVITY.

THE ALSO RELEASED VIDEO OF FOOD AND WATER BEING DELIVERED TO CIVILIANS SHELTERING IN THE HOSPITAL. HOSPITAL OFFICIALS SAY AT LEAST 3000 GAZANS ARE TRAPPED AT AL-SHIFA WITH LIMITED FOOD AND. THIS AS AN ISRAELI DELEGATION ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON TODAY FOR TALKS ABOUT A PLANNED GROUND OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH

IN GAZA, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE SOUGHT SHELTER. MORE THAN 12 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNDER WINTER ALERTS AS A MAJOR SPRING STORM MOVES THROUGH MULTIPLE STATES. BLIZZARD WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF NEBRASKA AND PARTS OF COLORADO. KANSAS SOUTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA. AND AT LEAST FIVE TORNADOES

WERE REPORTED IN KANSAS AND TEXAS YESTERDAY. NOW THAT THREAT IS MOVING EAST WITH ROLLING FORK, MISSISSIPPI, BRACING FOR POSSIBLE TORNADOES. ONE YEAR AFTER A DEADLY TWISTER DEVASTATED THE AREA, CARNIVAL IS CAMPING OUT, RELEASED TO UPCOMING CRUISES AFTER A FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP IN THE BAHAMAS. THE EXHAUST FUNNEL

ON THE CARNIVAL CAUGHT FIRE AND CRASHED DOWN AFTER WITNESSES REPORTED SEEING A LIGHTNING STRIKE. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 HOURS TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. TWO CREW MEMBERS WERE REPORTEDLY INJURED. THIS IS THE SECOND FIRE ON THE SHIP IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. AND THE TWIN LOTTERY JACKPOT KEEP CLIMBING.

NEARLY $2 BILLION IS NOW UP FOR GRABS. TONIGHT’S POWERBALL IS $800 MILLION. TOMORROW’S MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT IS 1.1 BILLION. >> AND KENSINGTON PALACE SAYS PRINCESS KATE AND PRINCE WILLIAM ARE BOTH ENORMOUSLY TOUCHED BY THE WELL-WISHES FROM THE PUBLIC AFTER SHE ANNOUNCED SHE’S BATTLING CANCER. IT’S AN UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT

FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY TO HAVE BOTH THE KING AND FUTURE QUEEN UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT AT THE SAME TIME. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI IS OUTSIDE KENSINGTON PALACE. >> THE DETAILS. THE ROYALS CONTENDING WITH A DOUBLE CANCER DIAGNOSIS, THE KING AND THE PRINCESS WALES TWO STARS OF THE MONARCHY BOTH

UNDERGOING TREATMENT. >> CANCER. IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLY TOUGH COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR OUR ENTIRE FAMILY. >> PRINCE WILLIAM AND HIS WIFE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PROTECT CHILDREN, WAITING UNTIL GEORGE, CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS WOULD BE ON VACATION BEFORE GOING PUBLIC WITH THE NEWS. WE HOPE THAT YOU

WILL UNDERSTAND THAT AS A FAMILY, WE NOW NEED SOME TIME. SPACE PRIVACY WHILE I COMPLETE MY TREATMENT. >> THE CHILDREN KNEW THEIR HAD CANCER AND HAVE NOW FOUND OUT THEIR MOTHER DOES TOO. >> AS I SAID TO THEM, I AM WELL AND GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY. >> THE KING AND THE PRINCESS

SUPPORTING EACH OTHER THROUGH THEIR TREATMENT. >> CHARLES VISITING KATE AT WINDSOR THE DAY BEFORE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS SPOKE WITH ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR ROBERT JOBSON. >> I WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS. THE MOST STARS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, THE VERY POTENT CENTRAL FIGURES OF THE SHARING THIS.

I THINK THAT SOME WHEN SHE GAVE THAT I THINK HE SPOKE OF HER COURAGE, WHICH I THINK A LOT OF US AGREE. THIS CERTAINLY LEFT YOU WITH A LUMP IN THE THROAT WHEN SHE DELIVERED THAT MESSAGE. BUCKINGHAM PALACE SAYING THE KING IS SO PROUD OF CATHERINE FOR HER COURAGE

IN SPEAKING AS SHE DID, ADDING HIS MAJESTY HAS REMAINED IN THE CLOSEST OF CONTACT WITH HER. >> PRINCE WILLIAM STEPPING UP, SUPPORTING HIS WIFE AND HIS FATHER THESE TOUGH TIMES AND KEEPING UP WITH HIS ROYAL RESPONSIBILITIES. THE HEIR TO THE THRONE SAYING HE WILL RETURN TO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS IN APRIL ONCE

HIS CHILDREN ARE BACK AT SCHOOL AND THE PRINCESS WILL RETURN TO ROYAL ONLY WHEN HER DOCTORS CLEAR HER TO DO SO. >> AND FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI JOINS ME NOW FROM OUTSIDE KENSINGTON PALACE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY AND ABC NEWS MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT DR.

DARIEN SUTTON FOR MORE ON THIS. MAGGIE, THAT VIDEO FROM THE PRINCESS HAS ALREADY BEEN VIEWED MORE THAN 100 MILLION TIMES ONEX ALONE. >> PRINCESS KATE APPARENTLY WROTE THIS STATEMENT HERSELF. SO HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT AND HOW ARE PEOPLE THERE IN THE U.K. RESPONDING? YEAH, IT’S INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT. KATE WROTE THIS STATEMENT

HERSELF. SHE REALLY WANTED TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE IN HER OWN WORDS, SPEAK WITH THEM ONE ON ONE. AND I THINK IT’S REALLY RESONATED WITH PEOPLE, NOT JUST HERE IN THE U.K., BUT AROUND THE WORLD. YOU KNOW, THIS WORD WE KEPT USING SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT CAME ON FRIDAY IS SHOCK.

I THINK EVERYONE HAS BEEN SHOCKED BY THIS. AND KATE SAYS SHE HERSELF WAS SHOCKED IN THAT VIDEO. NOW THAT THAT SHOCK A SORT OF SETTLED PEOPLE HERE ARE ASKING JUST FEELING SAD. YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMEONE THEY’VE GROWN UP WITH, A PRINCESS KATE IS SO BELOVED IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HEARTS

ARE BROKEN FOR HER, FOR HER FAMILY, FOR HER THREE YOUNG KIDS. AND I THINK THEN THERE’S THAT MOMENT AND IN THAT VIDEO, HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF IT THERE WHERE SHE’S TALKING ABOUT TELLING THIS NEWS TO KIDS. SHE TELLS THEM SHE WILL GET BETTER. SHE’S GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY.

AND WHILE SHE REMAINS SO BOLD AND STRONG, YOU HEAR JUST THAT HINT OF EMOTION IN HER VOICE. IT IS SO REAL AND RAW. AND I THINK IT’S MOMENTS LIKE THAT THAT ARE REALLY IMPACTING PEOPLE TODAY, PEOPLE THAT PROBABLY ARE ALSO DEALING WITH FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE A CANCER DIAGNOSIS.

AND I THINK IT’S REALLY CONNECTING WITH SO MANY PEOPLE. >> DIANE, LITERALLY, WHAT IS A PALACE ASIDE, HAVE THE PRINCESS DELIVER THIS MESSAGE OVER VIDEO? >> WELL, I THINK, AS MAGGIE SAID, THAT THIS WAS VERY MUCH HER DECISION AND IT IS AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY OF DOING THINGS FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT

OF THIS KIND. MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, PARTICULARLY THE YOUNG ROYALS, HAVE BEEN USING THESE KIND OF VIDEO MESSAGES FOR THEIR CHARITY WORK FOR SOME TIME NOW. BUT TO ACTUALLY DELIVER A PERSONAL HEALTH UPDATE IN THIS WAY REALLY BROKE NEW GROUND. I THINK PERHAPS THERE WAS A FEELING THAT BECAUSE REMEMBER

BACK IN JANUARY, KENSINGTON PALACE ACTUALLY SAID ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THEY DID SAY WAS THAT THIS WAS NOT THOUGHT TO BE CANCEROUS. AND NOW BECAUSE THAT HAD CHANGED, I THINK THERE WAS A FEELING REALLY TO HAVE HER SIT DOWN AND EXPLAIN THAT TO PEOPLE DIRECTLY WAS VERY IMPORTANT.

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS WAS HER DECISION AND THIS WAS ABOUT HER WANTING TO USE HER OWN WORDS. AND JUST QUICKLY, I ALSO THINK IT WAS A DIRECT PLEA FOR PRIVACY. HER PRIVACY IS PROTECTED BY LAW AND ETHICS IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT WE HAVE SEEN IN RECENT

WEEKS, IN THE WAKE OF THAT DISCUSSION AROUND THE MOTHER’S DAY PHOTOGRAPH, OFF DUTY IMAGES AND FOOTAGE BE PUBLISHED OF HER. >> AND I THINK WHAT KENSINGTON PALACE IS NOW HOPING IS THAT BY SITTING DOWN AND ASKING FOR PRIVACY, THEY WON’T HAVE TO GET INTO THESE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT USAGE OF THIS KIND

OF VIDEO AND THESE KIND OF IMAGES MOVING FORWARD. >> DR. SUTTON PALACE SAYS KATE IS NOW UNDERGOING PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY. >> WHAT THAT MEAN? >> WELL, PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY CAN MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS, DIFFERENT PEOPLE. YOU MIGHT HEAR CLINICALLY IN MEDICINE, WE USE A SIMILAR TERM CALLED ADJUVANT. THE MAIN GOAL IS TO PREVENT

THIS CANCER FROM WHATEVER WHATEVER YOU REMOVE COMING BACK IN THE FUTURE. >> AND THERE’S ALSO SOMETIMES A SUSPICION ON PART FROM THE SURGEON OR EVEN THE ONCOLOGIST THAT MAYBE THERE ARE RESIDUAL CANCER CELLS LEFT, WHICH IS WHAT CHEMOTHERAPY IS. >> SO AGAIN, THE MAIN GOAL IS REDUCING THE ODDS OF RECURRENCE AND THAT

YOU WOULD NO LONGER EXPECT TO SEE PRINCESS KATE OR PRINCE WILLIAM ON EASTER SUNDAY. AND AS OF NOW, KATE WILL RETURN TO OFFICIAL ROYAL DUTIES WHEN HER DOCTORS ADVISE HER TO. >> SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE MONARCHY RIGHT NOW? THE CHILDREN WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS REALLY AN

UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT FOR THE MONARCHY, AS YOU MENTIONED, ABOUT THE KING AND FUTURE KING OUT OF ROYAL DUTIES, UNDERGOING TREATMENT. >> BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE POOL OF ALREADY A SMALL GROUP OF THE WORKING ROYALS HAS ONLY GOTTEN SMALLER. WE HADN’T SEEN PRINCE WILLIAM REALLY STEPPING IN, BUT HE’S

TAKING SOME TIME OFF RIGHT NOW TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY OVER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. >> WE KNOW THAT WE WON’T SEE HIM AT LEAST UNTIL MID-APRIL IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY. RIGHT. IT’S REALLY QUEEN CAMILLA IS ONE OF THE ONLY WORKING ROYALS OUT DOING ENGAGEMENTS. SHE HAS MULTIPLE ENGAGEMENTS THIS WEEK.

AND I THINK THAT’S FAIRLY UNEXPECTED. YOU KNOW, I THINK IF WE HAD SPOKEN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, NO ONE WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD BE QUEEN CAMILLA WITH THE MONARCHY ON HER SHOULDERS RIGHT NOW. BUT THAT’S WHERE WE ARE THIS WEEK. AND AS YOU SAID, KATE, NOT

EXPECTING TO SEE HER BACK UNTIL HER DOCTORS SAY IT’S OKAY. AND SO YOU CAN IMAGINE IT MIGHT BE QUITE SOME TIME UNTIL WE HAVE A GOOD NUMBER OF WORKING OUT AND ABOUT AGAIN. >> AND VICTORIA, THE DISCUSSION SURROUNDING, PRINCESS KATE’S WHEREABOUTS, WAS IT REALLY DRIVEN BY THE BRITISH TABLOIDS ?

>> THIS TIME IT WAS BY SOCIAL MEDIA. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? >> I THINK IT’S BEEN A VERY INTERESTING EXAMPLE OF HOW EASY IT IS FOR THINGS TO GET OUT OF CONTROL IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA AGE AND HOW EASY IT IS NOW FOR THE NARRATIVE TO RUN OUT OF CONTROL.

AND IF WAS EVER AN ARGUMENT FOR MORE SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATION, THEN THIS IS IT. YOU KNOW, SOCIAL MEDIA IS PUBLISHING AND JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT WHEN THEY PUBLISH INFORMATION AND PUT INFORMATION INTO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO STRICT LEGAL AND ETHICAL REGULATIONS. THEY HAVE TO BE CERTAIN THAT THEY ARE SAYING

IS CORRECT. BUT IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA UNAWARE OF THOSE REGULATIONS, BUT YET THEY ARE ACTUALLY THINGS, BUT TREATING IT AS IF IT IS SOME KIND OF CASUAL CONVERSATION WITH FRIENDS. AND I THINK THAT’S A REALLY INTERESTING SITUATION THAT WE’RE NOW IN OF.

COURSE, A LOT OF THESE COUNCILS SAY ANONYMOUS AND WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE POSTING FROM. SO CERTAINLY THROWN UP THAT DISCUSSION THERE ABOUT THE ROLE THAT SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY IN MISINFORMATION. >> VICTORIA DO YOU THINK IT CHANGES HOW THE PALACE HAS TO ADDRESS ISSUES LIKE THIS

AND PUT OUT INFORMATION OR NOT DURING SITUATIONS THIS? >> WELL, I THINK ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS IS WILLIAM AND KATE DID REALLY STICK TO THEIR GUNS AND STICK TO THEIR OWN TIMEFRAME. THEY DIDN’T OF REACT IN A KIND OF KNEEJERK WAY WHEN PEOPLE WERE QUESTIONING THINGS

INITIALLY OR AFTER THE MOTHER’S DAY PHOTOGRAPH, THEY REALLY DID TAKE THEIR OWN. AND THERE IS AN ARGUMENT THAT REALLY TRYING TO IGNORE THE FUNERAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THINGS, BECAUSE ONCE YOU START TO REACT TO IT, THEN YOU END UP IN THIS CONSTANT CYCLE OF REACTION.

BUT ALSO THAT DOESN’T NEED COOPERATION AS WELL FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN AND WE SAW HAPPENED A LITTLE BIT HERE WAS ONCE THERE WAS A CERTAIN VOLUME OF NOISE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IT BEGAN TO FILTER ITS WAY BACK INTO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

SO I THINK THESE ARE ALL QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ALL OF BE ASKING OURSELVES RIGHT NOW. >> AND DR. SUTTON, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, 40% OF PEOPLE WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER IN THEIR LIFETIME. SO WHY ARE WE SEEING MORE YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE PRINCESS KATE GETTING DIAGNOSED?

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE ATTRIBUTED THAT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE, BUT IT’S BEEN PANNING OUT IN THE LARGER EVIDENCE THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE U.K., FOR WOMEN AGES 40 TO 44. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MOST RECENT STATISTICS FROM 2021, IT WAS

A 7% INCREASE COMPARED TO THE YEARS PRIOR. >> AND WE HAVE SIMILAR NUMBERS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. AS YOU SAID, MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER EARLIER. NOW COLON CANCER BEING THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG MEN UNDER 50 AND THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH, WOMEN UNDER 50.

UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DATA, THERE’S NO CLEAR ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IS IT SOMETHING WE’RE EXPOSED TO IS IT SOMETHING IN OUR ENVIRONMENT OR IS IT JUST SIMPLY MORE AWARENESS AND ACCESS TO TESTING? WHAT IS CLEAR IS THAT IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER.

YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SYMPTOMS TO YOUR PROVIDER AND ALSO BE CLEAR ABOUT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCREENING GUIDELINES, WHICHEVER OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AN OPEN AND HONEST CONVERSATION SO THAT YOU CAN CREATE A PLAN FOR FUTURE. >> ALL RIGHT. MAGGIE RULLI VICTORIA MURPHY

ABC’S VICTOR IS AT DODGER STADIUM WITH THE LATEST. AND OHTANI SHOOTS A FLYBALL THIS YEAR, BASEBALL’S BIGGEST STAR, OHTANI, EMBROILED IN AN INVESTIGATION BY MAJOR LEAGUE, WHILE THE IRS ALSO ZEROES IN ON AN ALLEGED GAMBLING SCANDAL INVOLVING HIS FORMER INTERPRETER. THE SCANDAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST

SPORTS SCANDALS THAT WE’VE EVER SEEN, AND CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST BASEBALL SCANDALS THAT WE’VE EVER SEEN. >> OHTANI IS THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN AMERICAN SPORTS HISTORY. ESPN REPORTING HIS INTERPRETER AND BEST FRIEND EPA MATSUMURA ALLEGEDLY USED THE SUPERSTAR’S MONEY TO PAY OFF AT LEAST $4.5 MILLION TO COVER HIS GAMBLING

DEBTS TO A BOOKMAKER WHO WAS ALSO UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. MEET YOU ARE UP FIRST CLAIMING THE SUPERSTAR AGREED TO HELP HIM PAY THE DEBTS, ONLY TO WALK THAT BACK A DAY LATER. >> HE SAID THAT OHTANI HAD NO OF HIS GAMING DEBTS AND HAD NOT PAID THE MONEY THROUGH THE WIRE TRANSFERS.

NOW THE ATHLETIC RT.COM QUESTIONING WHICH HOMERS BACKGROUND REPORTING HIS FORMER TEAM’S BIOGRAPHY WAS ALLEGEDLY FALSIFIED, INCLUDING WHERE HE ATTENDED COLLEGE. >> HE SAID HE ATTENDED

HE SAID THAT HE WAS AN INTERPRETER FOR HIDAKA AOKI JUNIOR DURING THE YANKEES SPRING TRAINING IN 2012, BUT OPPORTUNITY FAILED HIS PHYSICAL THAT SPRING. >> MLB LAUNCHING THEIR INVESTIGATION AFTER THE DODGERS PROMPTLY FIRED MATSUMURA.

>> DIANE VICTOR OQUENDO AT DODGER STADIUM. >> THANK YOU. AND AS YOU MAKE YOUR SPRING BREAK PLANS, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER A SLEEP GETAWAY. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, ABOUT ONE IN THREE US ADULTS REPORT NOT GETTING ENOUGH SHUTEYE. NOW MANY ARE TURNING TO SLEEP. TOURISM WITH HOTELS AROUND THE WORLD OFFERING AMENITIES

>> THE CDC RECOMMENDS ADULTS AGES 18 AND OVER SHOULD GET A MINIMUM OF 7 HOURS OF SLEEP PER NIGHT. BUT THAT’S FAR FROM REALITY FOR A LOT OF US. >> ONE IN THREE ADULTS REPORT STRUGGLING EITHER FALL ASLEEP OR MAINTAIN SLEEP. >> TO THE RESCUE HOTELS, RESORTS OFFERING SPECIAL SLEEP

AND SPA PACKAGES RANGING IN PRICE FROM $300 TO $12000 TO HELP TRAVELERS GET SOME MUCH NEEDED REST.

IN COURT IN NEW YORK. HE’S SET TO ATTEND A HEARING OVER WHETHER TO FURTHER DELAY THE TRIAL OVER HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS HE ALLEGEDLY MADE TO STORMY DANIELS AND KAREN MCDOUGAL OF THE 2016 ELECTION. TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS HAVE DEMANDED A MONTHSLONG DELAY, ACCUSING THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE. PROSECUTORS SAY THE TENS

OF THOUSANDS OF PAGES RECENTLY TURNED OVER DON’T CONTAIN THAT MUCH NEW INFORMATION AND SHOULDN’T TAKE THAT LONG TO REVIEW. MEANWHILE, TODAY IS ALSO THE DEADLINE FOR TRUMP TO SECURE A NEARLY HALF DOLLAR BOND TO APPEAL THE JUDGMENT IN HIS CIVIL FRAUD CASE. TRUMP AND HIS LAWYERS HAVE ARGUED THAT OBTAINING

A BOND FOR THAT AMOUNT IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY IF HE CAN’T SECURE THE BOND. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL JAMES CAN START THE PROCESS OF SEIZING HIS ASSETS. LET’S BRING IN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN, EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI, ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR.

>> ROMANS FOR MORE. OLIVIA, LET’S START WITH THIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL HEARING. WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THIS NEW EVIDENCE U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TURNED OVER AND HOW IT COULD AFFECT THE CASE? WELL, THESE ARE DOCUMENTS THAT RELATE TO MICHAEL COHEN, WHO IS GOING TO BE ONE OF

THE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY STAR WITNESSES IN THIS CASE. AND DONALD TRUMP JUST GOT OVER 100,000 PAGES OF RECORDS RELATED TO HIM IN RECENT WEEKS. SO WHAT DONALD TRUMP SAID IS THAT THIS WAS AN ACTIVE EFFORT BY THE D.A. TO WITHHOLD EVIDENCE FROM HIM THAT HE SAYS WILL IMPEACH LIKELY MICHAEL

COHEN THE STAND AND IS RELEVANT TO HIS CASE. AND HE SAYS IT WAS PURPOSEFUL. THEY DID NOT WANT HIM TO HAVE THESE RECORDS. AND THE D.A., OF COURSE, SAYS IT NOT INTENTIONAL. AND THEY AGREED TO THIS 30 DAY DELAY SO THAT DONALD TRUMP COULD LOOK OVER THE RECORDS, WHICH THEY SAY

REALLY ONLY AMOUNTED TO 100 PAGES OF NEW DOCUMENTS. SO PART OF WHAT THE JUDGE IS LOOKING AT TODAY, DIANE, IS EXACTLY WHO’S ALL THIS WAS TODAY? WAS IT THE D.A. OR WAS IT THIS OTHER DISTRICT? WHAT WAS IT, DONALD TRUMP’S FAULT? HOW DID IT HAPPEN THAT OVER 100,000 PAGES OF RECORDS WERE

NOT TURNED OVER UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. SO THAT IS PART OF WHAT’S GOING ON TODAY. AND THEN IT’S GOING TO BE THE QUESTION OF THE NEW TRIAL DATE. DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY WANTS THIS INDICTMENT DISMISSED OR 90 DAYS DELAYED. SO WE’LL SEE HOW MUCH MORE LEEWAY THE JUDGE IS GOING

TO GIVE HIM ON THAT IF HE DOES FIND THAT THERE WAS REAL WRONGDOING. >> BUT, CHRIS, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT MORE THAN 100,000 PAGES OF DOCUMENTS. THE PROSECUTION SAYING DESPITE THE LENGTH, THERE’S NOT THAT MUCH NEW INFORMATION TO GO OVER. >> SO HOW LONG DOES THE DEFENSE REASONABLY NEED TO REVIEW THIS

NEW EVIDENCE? >> WELL, I THINK FAR THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED TO 30 DAYS. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT 200,000 PAGES OF DOCUMENTS, YOU’RE GETTING READY FOR TRIAL ANYWAY. IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU’VE GOT TO INCORPORATE THERE. WHAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE SAID IS THAT IT’S NOT MUCH NEW INFORMATION,

THAT THERE’S MAYBE 240 PAGES OF DOCUMENTS THAT ARE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE. AND CERTAINLY GOING OVER 240 PAGES CAN TAKE, YOU KNOW, JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS, IF NOT AN ENTIRE DAY. SO, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THIS IS GOING BACK, LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENTS, TRYING TO FIGURE

OUT, OKAY, HOW MUCH OF THIS IS DUPLICATIVE, HOW MUCH OF THIS IS NEW INFORMATION, AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW MUCH OF THIS INFORMATION IS ACTUALLY RELEVANT TO WHAT’S ON HERE? I THINK THE BEST ARGUMENT THAT THE DEFENSE HAS IS THAT THE NEW DOCUMENTS ARE SOMEHOW GOING TO IMPEACH OR HURT

THE CREDIBILITY OF MICHAEL COHEN. THAT’S WHAT THEY NEED ADDITIONAL TIME TO PORE THEM. BUT WE’LL SEE. I MEAN, THE JUDGE MIGHT THROW THE OTHER SIDE A BONE, MIGHT SPLIT BABY BY GIVING ADDITIONAL TIME. BUT I DON’T FORESEE A DISMISSAL HERE. I DON’T SEE MUCH EVIDENCE IN THE WAY OF BAD FAITH

THAT THEY WOULD HAVE WITHHELD THESE DOCUMENTS FOR ANY REASON . IT SHOULD BE PINNED ON THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. AND GIVEN THAT THAT’S A SEPARATE SOVEREIGN, THE PUNISHMENT SHOULDN’T GO TOWARDS THAT DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE AND LOOKING LIVE AT THE HALLWAY OUTSIDE THAT COURTROOM WHERE WE EXPECT

FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO COME OUT, HE NORMALLY ADDRESSES THE CAMERAS. SO WE’LL SEE IF HE DOES SAY SOMETHING BEFORE ENTERING THE COURTROOM. BUT, JOHN, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS DELAY, BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A STRATEGY FOR TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM ACROSS ALL OF HIS CASES. >> SO HOW COULD A LONGER DELAY

IN THIS TRIAL AFFECT TRUMP ON THE CAMPAIGN. WELL, YOU KNOW, I’M LOOKING AT THAT IMAGE WITH YOU, DIANE. THAT IS THE IMAGE OF DONALD TRUMP ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. RIGHT. IT’S NOT DONALD TRUMP GOING TO, YOU KNOW, BIG EVENT STADIUMS OR WHATNOT. IT’S DONALD TRUMP DOING EXACTLY THIS, GOING TO COURTHOUSES,

THE COUNTRY. HE’S GOTTEN SO GOOD AT IT, AS HE HAS SAID. LOOK, THE REALITY IS THE DELAY IS PLAYING RIGHT INTO DONALD TRUMP’S HANDS. RIGHT. BECAUSE EVERY TIME HE SHOWS UP AT ONE OF THESE COURTHOUSES AND HE DID IT THIS MORNING, HE BLASTING OUT FUNDRAISING EMAILS TO SUPPORTERS. HE BELIEVES AND THE POLLS

SHOW THAT EARLY INTO THE RACE. AND SO FAR, NOW THAT HE HAS SECURED THE NOMINATION AND IT ALL ADDS UP THAT ALL OF THESE COURT CASES ARE ONLY HELPING DONALD. NOW, THAT’S OBVIOUSLY THE POLITICAL SIDE OF THINGS AND THE PERSONAL OF THINGS. NONE OF THIS IS GOOD FOR DONALD TRUMP.

IS ONE SOURCE CLOSE TO THE FAMILY SAID TO ME A WHILE AGO. EVERYTHING THAT WE IN 2015 IS SO SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT NOW. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FAMILY, NONE OF THEM, NONE OF THE CHILDREN. DONALD TRUMP, OUR YORK RESIDENTS, AND THERE IS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ENTERING THAT HALLWAY OUTSIDE THAT NEW

YORK CITY COURTROOM. IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO ADDRESS THE CAMERAS. >> LET’S LISTEN. WE CHECKED HIS HOME. THEY’RE KEEPING IT RELATIVELY SHORT THERE COMPARED TO NORMAL, CALLING IT A WITCH HUNT, A HOAX. >> THINGS WE’VE HEARD BEFORE. JOHN, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?

WELL, YOU KNOW, I ALSO SEE I’M TRYING TO SEE EVERY WALKING INTO COURT WITH HIM RIGHT NOW. I SAW MOST OF DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM LED BY TODD BLANCHE, A FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR WHO’S BECOME THE LEAD ATTORNEY. DIANE, ON ALL THE TRUMP CASES RIGHT NOW, THIS BEING THE MANHATTAN CASE.

BUT BLANCHE IS ALSO WORKING ON THE TWO SPECIAL COUNSEL CASES, ONE INVOLVING THE EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION AND THE DOCUMENTS CASE DOWN IN FLORIDA. >> BUT AGAIN, THE SIGN OF WHERE ARE MERGING, RIGHT? DONALD TRUMP RIGHT THERE WALKING INTO THAT COURTROOM HALF THE PEOPLE THERE, HIS LEGAL TEAM, THE OTHER HALF,

I SAW JASON MILLER AND STEVEN CHUNG ON CAMPAIGN, HIS 2024 CAMPAIGN TEAM. THIS IS WHERE DONALD TRUMP’S WORLDS ARE COLLIDING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. AND I THINK THAT THAT IMAGE IS GOING TO BECOME ONE AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET USED TO BUT BE. HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE? RIGHT?

BECAUSE THIS TRIAL, AS WE STARTED OUR CONVERSATION A FEW MOMENTS AGO, IS DELAYED, RIGHT? IT GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER AS THE CLOCK TICKS TO NOVEMBER, DONALD TRUMP DOES HAVE TO BE OUT IN THE CAMPAIGN WHEN THIS TRIAL BEGINS, IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. AND I THINK FOR MOST PEOPLE AT

HOME, YOU KNOW, YOU REMEMBER DONALD TRUMP POPPING INTO COURTROOMS WHEN HE DIDN’T HAVE. THIS IS GOING TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE MANHATTAN IS A CRIMINAL CASE. HE HAS TO PHYSICALLY BE IN THAT COURTHOUSE IN THE WAY AS WE UNDERSTAND IT, JUDGE MERSHON HAS SORT OF STACKED THESE PROCEEDINGS

THE MOMENT IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A NORMAL WEEK. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT COURT’S GOING TO ALLEGEDLY SIT, AS WE UNDERSTAND IT, MONDAY, TUESDAY, OFF SET, THURSDAY, FRIDAY MORNING, THE ONLY DAY DONALD TRUMP COULD THEORETICALLY RUN OUT AND DO A CAMPAIGN LIKE EVENT IS MIDWEEK. >> THAT’S NOT REALLY A GREAT

OPPORTUNITY. RIGHT? I COVERED DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST CAMPAIGN. AS YOU KNOW, I LIVED ON THE ROAD. THE TIME WHEN CANDIDATES ARE OUT THERE REALLY MEETING VOTERS, WHEN MOST VOTERS ARE OFF ON FRIDAYS, HEADING INTO WEEKEND. >> SO IT’S GOING TO MAKE IT A LITTLE TOWN CHALLENGING. SO, BRIAN, WHAT ARE THE ARGUMENTS TODAY?

>> THE KEY ARGUMENTS HERE ARE WHEN THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY GOT THE INFORMATION, THAT BEING THE DISCOVERY WHEN THEY SEEK TO AROUND THE ARGUMENT BEING BE DILIGENT AND THEY DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO SEEK OUT THE INFORMATION THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TURNED OVER TO THE DEFENSE. AND THEN FOR THE DEFENSE,

THEY’RE THAT THIS DELAY IS GOING TO HARM THEM OR PREJUDICE THEM BEYOND JUST A FEW EXTRA DAYS OR HOURS OF RESEARCH IN THE CASE. NOW, I AGREE WITH CHRIS, DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO REACH THE LEVEL OF DISMISSAL. NEW YORK HAS VERY STRONG DISCOVERY LAWS CHANGED ABOUT TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO

THAT AFFORDED DEFENSE MORE OPPORTUNITIES. BUT THIS KIND OF 11TH HOUR INFORMATION DUMP IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR A MANHATTAN D.A. OR WHERE I USED TO PRACTICE IN BROOKLYN. AND SO I THINK THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO COME PRETTY HARD IN TERMS OF SAYING THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TURNED OVER EARLIER.

>> THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DUE DILIGENCE. AND IF NOT, AT THE VERY LEAST, THEY SHOULD GET A GREATER DELAY . >> SO, OLIVIA, HOW IS THIS EXPECTED TO PLAY OUT IN COURT TODAY? WELL, THAT’S KIND OF INTERESTING, DIANE IS THAT WHAT THE JUDGE ASKED FOR AHEAD OF TODAY WAS A DETAILED

TIMELINE FROM EACH OF THE SIDES, ALL OF THEIR CORRESPONDENCE, THEIR EMAILS, THEIR RECORDS RELATED TO HOW THESE DOCUMENTS CAME ABOUT. SO I WOULD EXPECT THAT EACH SIDE IS GOING TO LAY OUT THEIR EFFORTS TO GET A HOLD OF THESE DOCUMENTS. AND BRIAN JUST HIT ON SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT, WHICH IS DID

THE D.A. TRY HARD ENOUGH TO GET THESE DOCUMENTS BEFOREHAND? THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY WERE DENIED THE DOCUMENTS, BUT TRUMP’S TEAM HAD SAID THAT THEY DIDN’T EVEN TRY AT ALL TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THEM. AND IT WAS ONLY WHEN DONALD TRUMP, HIS OWN SUBPOENA IN JANUARY THAT THE DOCUMENTS WERE HANDED OVER.

SO I WOULD EXPECT THAT THE JUDGE IS GOING TO SORT OF PASS THROUGH THAT A LITTLE BIT AND HAVE EACH SIDE WALK HIM THROUGH WHAT THEY DID IN OR DID NOT DO IN ORDER TO GET A HOLD OF THESE DOCUMENTS. BECAUSE REMEMBER, IS LOOKING FOR WHO IS AT FAULT, IF ANYONE

,BECAUSE OF THE LATE PRODUCTION. AND THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO PLAY INTO DECISION ON HOW MUCH TO DELAY THE TRIAL. IF HE DOES DELAY IT AGAIN. ON WHETHER HE JUST DISMISSES THE INDICTMENT, WHICH DONALD TRUMP HAS ASKED FOR AND HE SANCTIONS THE D.A.’S OFFICE, WHICH AGAIN, DONALD TRUMP HAS

ALSO ASKED FOR. AND BRIAN, WE’RE ALSO WATCHING THIS DEADLINE THAT TRUMP IS FACING TODAY TO SECURE THAT NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND IN NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL. WALK US THROUGH WHAT THIS TIMELINE MEANS AND WHAT HAPPENS IF HE CAN’T SECURE THIS BOND OR IT’S ALREADY SEEN AS THE INTENT

FOR DONALD TRUMP TO SECURE A BOND TO STAY ENFORCEMENT OF THE JUDGMENT, BASICALLY MEANING THAT IF HE CAN PUT UP THE DURING THE APPEAL, THEN ATTORNEY JAMES WON’T COME. HIS BANK ACCOUNTS, HIS PROPERTY, HIS HIS NON-REAL ESTATE PROPERTY. AND IF HE DOESN’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT, THEN

ATTORNEY WHO WE ALREADY SEE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, AS WELL AS NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK CITY, WILL START SERVING THE JUDGMENTS IN BANKS OR OTHER AVENUES WHERE THEY CAN TRY TO SECURE THOSE BANK ACCOUNTS OR THOSE OTHER PROPERTY. WE’VE ALREADY LISTED, I THINK, IN THE PAST POTENTIAL OF DONALD

TRUMP LOSING HIS GOLF COURSE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY AND. OF COURSE, HIS NAMESAKE, THE TRUMP TOWER, HERE, JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM WHERE WE’RE RECORDING NOW OR WHERE WE’RE TALKING NOW IN TERMS OF NEXT STEPS, IT’S REALLY ABOUT WHAT STRATEGY ATTORNEY JAMES COMES OUT WITH THE. MONEY IS THE EASIEST WAY

TO KIND OF REDEEM THOSE OR TO KIND OF MAKE OF THAT MONEY THAT DONALD TRUMP OWES THEM. BUT THEY CAN ALSO GO TO THE LONGER PROCESS OF NEW YORK PROPERTY AND ALSO GO THROUGH A PROCESS CALLED TO GO AFTER HIS PROPERTY LIKE MAR-A-LAGO IN FLORIDA. SO JOHN WALKER’S BEST CASE

AND WORST CASE SCENARIOS HERE FOR TRUMP AND HIS TEAM IN BOTH OF THESE CASES. >> OKAY, SO LET’S START LET’S GO WITH WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY, IF YOU DON’T MIND. >> SO LET’S GO WITH THE MANHATTAN SENATOR. >> I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, ANYTHING WHERE YOU AND I CAN STICK WITH EACH OTHER

IN GOVERNMENT FOR TOO LONG. >> SO IN THE MANHATTAN CASE, THE BEST CASE FOR TEAM IS THAT THEY GET A LONGER DELAY IN THE ORIGINAL RESPONSE. WHEN THIS ALL STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO, TEAM TRUMP ASKED FOR 90 DAYS. THE D.A.’S OFFICE, THE DELAYS WITH LIKE TEAM TRUMP PUSHING

AT THE D.A.’S OFFICE RECOGNIZE . A DELAY WAS NECESSARY. THEY ASKED FOR 30. THE JUDGE AGREED WITH THE 30. TODAY’S DEAL IS TO ARGUE CAN THEY PUSH THAT 30 ANY FURTHER? I THINK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY THAT OUT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN REAL TIME.

>> SO IF HE GETS IT ANY FURTHER, EVEN A COUPLE OF DAYS, IT’S A WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP, I DON’T EXPECT IT. ON THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S CASE. THE HOPE AT THE MOMENT DONALD TRUMP HAS IS THE NEW YORK STATE COURT OF APPEALS STEPPING IN AND SAYING, OKAY, THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY.

LET’S LOWER IT A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT HE’S ON THE HOOK FOR THE ENTIRE 400 PLUS MILLION DOLLARS. BUT DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM HAS SAID IT’S TOO MUCH LOWER AND THEN WE CAN PAY BECAUSE REMEMBER, 30 COMPANIES HAVE TURNED THEM DOWN TO THE BOTTOM SO FAR. WORST CASE COURT OF APPEALS

SAYS WE’RE NOT GETTING INVOLVED . RULING STANDS. LETITIA JAMES SAYS, GREAT, LET’S START SEIZING. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, AGAIN, I JUST THINK FOR THE VIEWER, LOOK AT DONALD TRUMP’S REACTIONS THIS MORNING. WE REMEMBER DONALD TRUMP WHEN HE WOULD PIPE OFF ON TWITTER. IF YOU GO ON SOCIAL TODAY,

DIANE, DONALD TRUMP IS SCREAMING ABOUT THEY’RE TAKING MY BABIES. HE DOESN’T NEED HIS FIVE CHILDREN. HE MEANS THE ASSETS, THE BUILDINGS. THEY ARE HIS PRIDE AND JOY. I’M NOT MAKING IT UP NOW. HE SAID IT HIMSELF RIGHT. DONALD TRUMP WILL BE BURNED TO HIS CORE IF EVEN ONE OF

THOSE ASSETS IS TAKEN BY LETITIA JAMES RIGHT. >> JOHN SANTUCCI, OLIVIA RUBIN, CHRIS TIMMONS, BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU ALL. AND WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THAT HUSH MONEY HEARING AND THE BOND DEADLINE, THE DAY RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE SOME BREAKING.

BOEING PRESIDENT CEO DAVE CALHOUN HAS ANNOUNCED HE’S PLANNING TO STEP AT THE END OF THE YEAR. CALHOUN SAYS HE’LL REMAIN ON THE BOARD THROUGH THE YEAR IN HOPES OF STABILIZING THE COMPANY AFTER A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS. CONCERNS AROUND SAFETY. IN A LETTER TO EMPLOYEES, CALHOUN CALLED ALASKA AIRLINES

DOOR PLUG INCIDENT A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR BOEING. CALHOUN ON TO SAY, QUOTE, IT HAS BEEN THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE OF MY LIFE TO SERVE BOEING. AND THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE ON US. AND I KNOW THAT WE WILL COME THROUGH THIS MOMENT A BETTER COMPANY. >> THIS SURVEILLANCE VIDEO

APPEARS TO SHOW A MAN GOT ON A FLIGHT IN SALT LAKE CITY WITHOUT A TICKET. AUTHORITIES SAY THE PASSENGER WAS ON STANDBY FOR A SOUTHWEST FLIGHT, BUT THE PLANE WAS FULL. SO HE MOVED OVER TO DELTA AND APPARENTLY SNAPPED PHOTOS, OTHER PEOPLE’S BOARDING PASSES USING ONE OF THOSE PHOTOS

TO THEN GET ON THE PLANE. >> TREVOR AULT HAS MORE. >> ABC NEWS HAS OBTAINED SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE OF THE MAN OF SNEAKING ONTO A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT A TICKET. THE MAN, A GREEN SWEATER IS WYCLIFFE HIS FLORES. AFTER TALKING AND LAUGHING FELLOW PASSENGERS. HE APPEARS TO SNAP A PHOTO OF THAT MAN’S PASS.

THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT SAYS HE DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, MULTIPLE PEOPLE. AND WATCH AS HE THEN SCANS HIS PHONE TO GET ON BOARD. >> DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE TRAVELING MUCH, BUT IT’S NOT INFALLIBLE IN THIS CASE. WE SEE THAT A SIMPLE CODE COULD BE PHOTOGRAPHED FROM A PAPER

COPY AND USED TO BOARD AN AIRPLANE. >> ACCORDING TO THE AFFIDAVIT, WHEN ANOTHER PASSENGER TRIED SCANNING HER TICKET, THE SYSTEM SAID SHE’D ALREADY BOARD IT. FLORES ART ALLEGEDLY WAITED IN THE AIRPLANE BATHROOM, EXITING AS THEY BEGAN TO TAXI, AND WHEN QUESTIONED BY A FLIGHT ATTENDANT, HE TOLD HER HIS NAME

AND A SEAT NUMBER, WHICH WASN’T IN THE SYSTEM, WASN’T BOOKED ON ANY OTHER FLIGHTS. THE PLANE THEN HEADING BACK TO THE GATE. FLORES ART WAS ARRESTED, NOW CHARGED WITH FELONY STOWAWAY. >> THIS GUY WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED IF WE HADN’T BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF SPRING BREAK WHERE ALMOST EVERY

AIRPLANE SEAT IS SOLD OUT. IF HE’D WALKED IN THE BACK AND HE’D SEEN AN OPEN SEAT, HE COULD HAVE JUST GONE AND SAT DOWN AND NOBODY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WISER. >> IN A STATEMENT, DELTA SAYS IT’S COOPERATING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. >> ACCORDING TO THIS CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, HOUR TOLD OFFICIALS

HE MADE A MISTAKE AND HE JUST WANTED GET HOME. >> DIANE TREVOR AULT, THANK YOU. AND FOUR SUSPECTS ARE FACING TERRORISM CHARGES AFTER A DEADLY TERRORIST ATTACK ON, A CONCERT IN MOSCOW. ISIS IS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRIDAY’S IN THE CONCERT HALL THAT KILLED AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE AND INJURED 182.

NOW WE’RE LEARNING THE U.S. HAD SHARED INFORMATION ABOUT A POSSIBLE ATTACK WITH RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES, BUT A RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT SAYS THE INFO WAS NOT CONCRETE. >> GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ HAS THE LATEST. >> THE HORRIFIC TOLL OF THE MASS SHOOTING. EVIDENT. DID SMOLDERING SCENE OF RUSSIA’S DEADLIEST ATTACK IN DECADES.

MORE THAN 135 MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED. HUNDREDS MORE INJURED. IT WAS FRIDAY EVENING IN MOSCOW WHEN FOUR ISIS-K TERRORISTS ARMED WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS SHOT THEIR WAY INTO A CONCERT AT A SHOPPING COMPLEX. THE AUDIENCE INSIDE WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE ROCK BAND TO BEGIN WHEN GUNFIRE RIPPLED

THROUGH THE HALL, ALL THE WHILE HEARING THE RELENTLESS, TERRIFYING BURST OF AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRE. >> AN EYEWITNESS SAYING THE MEN FIRED DIRECTLY INTO THE CROWD FACE TO FACE. ANOTHER WITNESS SAYING WHEN THE SHOOTING WAS OVER, THE ISIS-K GUNMEN HURLED EXPLOSIVES AS THEY FLED. WITHIN MINUTES, BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES POURING FROM

THE FACILITY, TRAPPING MANY INSIDE. AND CAVING IN THE ROOF. RUSSIA. THEY CAPTURED AND CHARGED THESE MEN WITH THIS SHOOTING. ONE CLEARLY BLOODIED AND BEATEN WITH REPORTS OF TORTURE AS WELL. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN CLAIMING WITHOUT EVIDENCE THAT THE MEN WERE HEADED TO UKRAINE. HE NEVER MENTIONED ISIS-K, DESPITE ITS CLAIM

OF RESPONSIBILITY, THE U.S. CONFIRMING THE ATTACK WAS CARRIED OUT BY THE ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS AS WELL. WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAYING THEY HAD WARNED THE RUSSIANS OF AN IMMINENT RISK OF AN ISIS-K ATTACK. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, AN ATTACK THEY SAID COULD TARGET A CONCERT HALL INSTEAD OF THE WARNING.

PUTIN SAID THE US WAS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL. >> THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT ONLY PASSED TO THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, IT WAS MADE PUBLIC AS WELL. ISIS-K IS BASED IN AFGHANISTAN AND IS SEEKING REVENGE AGAINST RUSSIA FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE WAR IN SYRIA AND ELSEWHERE. ALSO THIS MORNING, IN THE WAKE

OF THIS ATTACK, FRANCE HAS RAISED ITS NATIONAL SECURITY ALERT SYSTEM TO ITS HIGHEST.

>> LET’S FIRST TALK ABOUT THE SEVERE STORMS PART OF THIS, THE WARM SIDE OF THE STORM. WE SAW GARDEN CITY, KANSAS, WITH ONE OF THE FIVE REPORTED TORNADOES THAT CIRCULATED, TOSSING THE DEBRIS OVER HIGHWAY 83. AND IN PARIS AND TEXAS, WHERE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, THEY HAD

AN EF3 THAT HIT AT LEAST 200 STRUCTURES WILL NOW, THE HOSPITAL HAD DAMAGE FROM A TORNADO JUST YESTERDAY. THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO GET OUT AND DO THE SURVEY TODAY, BUT THEY’LL ALSO BE FIGHTING THE SNOW. THERE’S SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS. HOWEVER, IT IS THE FRONT SIDE

WHERE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT TORNADOES. AGAIN, ROLLING FORT JACKSON, HATTIESBURG, ARE ALL TONIGHT AT 7 P.M. LOOKING LIKE THEY’RE ERUPTING ON THE OF SHORT TERM MODELS THERE. BUT EITHER WAY, I’D SAY AFTER FOUR OR FIVE HAVE TWO WAYS OF GETTING WARNINGS ANYWHERE THERE THAT. YOU’RE HIGHLIGHTED FROM LUFKIN, TEXAS OVER TO MOBILE

BUT CERTAINLY IN THE AREA THAT IS ORANGE BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THE STRONG TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE. DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL COULD ALSO BE IN THERE. AND FLASH FLOODING THEN TOLD YOU THERE WAS A SNOWY SIDE OF THIS WILLIAMS, IOWA AND WE SAW THE GET OUT AND THE ROADS, A LOT OF ROADS EVEN

BACK TO PARTS OF NEBRASKA THAT WERE CLOSED OVERNIGHT. SNOW TOTALS SO FAR IN ONE OF THE BIGGER SYSTEMS THAT MINNEAPOLIS CERTAINLY HAS SEEN. THEY’VE HAD THEIR BIGGEST ONE DAY SNOW TOTAL OF AT LEAST EIGHT INCHES. AND THESE ARE SO FAR BECAUSE THE STORM’S NOT QUITE DONE YET

IN WISCONSIN, UP TO A FOOT. LOOK AT THE WINTER STORM WARNINGS FROM RHINELANDER BACK TO TAOS AND BLIZZARD WARNINGS FROM CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO, UP TO WINDSOR, SOUTH DAKOTA. THOSE ARE FOR GUSTS UPWARDS OF 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DRIFTS.

>> DIANE, CHIEF METEOROLOGIST, GINGER ZEE, THANK YOU. >> AND THE PEOPLE OF ROLLING FORK, MISSISSIPPI, ARE FORWARD ONE YEAR AFTER A TORNADO DEVASTATED THE AREA. JAMES ROBIN ROBERTS HAS FOLLOWED THEIR JOURNEY OF RECOVERY AND REBUILDING AND NOW THEY’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REOPENING OF TRACY HARDIN’S BELOVED DINER.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE PEOPLE OF ROLLING FORK, MISSISSIPPI, STILL FEELING THE IMPACT AFTER A DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO TORE THROUGH THEIR SMALL TOWN ONE YEAR AGO. IN THE AFTERMATH, 15 LIVES LOST, HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES DISPLACED, BUILDINGS, CHUNKS, DAIRY, BARN TAKING A DIRECT HIT . OWNER TRACY HARDIN, SAFELY SHELTERING HER STAFF INSIDE

HER RESTAURANT’S COOLER. >> NOT A WHOLE LOT WAS SAVED, BUT OUR LIVES IN THE RECOVERY. TRACY A SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND, COMFORT, PROVIDING DONATED MEALS TO THOSE IN NEED. MORE FEEDING 500 PEOPLE A DAY. THEN THEY’RE GETTING THE CALM. NOT JUST EAT, BUT THEY’RE GETTING ALONG. DINING IN, CARED FOR.

SHE’S A GOOD GIRL IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE’RE GOING ON. SHE’S RIGHT THERE WITH HER. >> HE’S ONE OF US. TRACY, LIKE MANY OTHERS MAKING A COMMITMENT TO RETURN LIKE A PANCAKE OR DURING THE SUMMER. SHOCKS POP UP, OPERATING ON LIMITED HOURS, BUT THE HEARTBREAK STILL EVIDENT. IT’S HARD.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU PULL UP EVERY DAY TO WHAT USED TO BE AND YOU THINK FOR NOT SEEING YOU SHOULD BE FARTHER ALONG. IT HURTS THAT WE’RE NOT BUT YOU DRIVE AROUND AND YOU STILL SEE A LOT OF SMILING FACES. THE FILM OFFICIALLY BEGINNING IN THE FALL.

WE’VE BEEN COOKING OUT OF THAT LITTLE BITTY TRAILER FOR SO LONG THAT I LOOK AT THIS AND I SAY, OUR FUTURE KITCHEN. JUST TO SEE IT COMING TOGETHER . THAT’S HAPPINESS, NOT FOR ME, MY FAMILY, BUT FOR ALL OF MY. WE’RE JUST ALL READY TO BE HOME DURING THE HOLIDAYS. TRACY’S BELOVED EMPLOYEES

COMING TOGETHER FOR AN EMOTIONAL REUNION ALONG WITH THE BAND TOGETHER. I THANK YOU FOR BEING ABLE TO BE THERE FOR ME. I NEVER WOULD HAVE GOT THROUGH THIS WITHOUT. HEY, I LOVE YOU. AND I LOVE YOU. TRACY. AND JUST MONTH THE FINISHING TOUCHES. HEY, Y’ALL. OR SHOULD I SAY GOOD MORNING AMERICA?

AROUND THE WORLD. AND I’M SO THANKFUL FOR IT ALL. ROBIN ROBERTS, THANK YOU. AND NOW TO THE DISEASE AFFECTING AN ESTIMATED 10% OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD. KELSEY, HER VERY OWN, SAYS SHE KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND IT WAS AN INTENSE PAIN. BUT SAYS DOCTOR AFTER DOCTOR DISMISSED HER ISSUES,

MAKING HER FEEL LIKE SHE WAS LOSING HER MIND. BUT AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND YEARS OF FOR ANSWERS, SHE FINALLY GOT HER DIAGNOSIS. EVA PILGRIM HAS MORE ON THIS ENDOMETRIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH. >> FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, KELSEY BARBERIE BATTLED AN ARRAY OF UNCOMFORTABLE SYMPTOMS THAT LEFT HER FEELING UNWELL.

MOST OF THE TIME, STOMACH PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ON ANOTHER LEVEL FOR ME, I’VE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY WITH A HEATING PAD ON MY STOMACH. >> I WOULD JUST PUFFY AND THE BLOATING WAS SO BAD THAT I LOOKED LIKE I WAS SERIOUSLY LIKE SIX MONTHS PREGNANT PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME.

>> THE 20 EIGHT-YEAR-OLD SAYS SHE OFTEN HAD HEAVY PERIODS, WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS AND DEBILITY EATING PAIN. SHE SOUGHT MEDICAL HELP, BUT IT PROVED TO BE A CHALLENGE. >> IT’S SHOCKING HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND DOCTORS REALLY LISTEN TO YOU. >> DOCTORS SUGGESTING HER SYMPTOMS WERE LIKELY THE RESULT OF HER CELIAC

DISEASE OR GLUTEN RELATED ISSUES. >> I SAW DIFFERENT GYNECOLOGISTS. I WAS JUST FEELING SO DESPERATE LIKE I WOULD LEAVE DOCTOR’S OFFICES IN TEARS MORE OFTEN THAN I WOULDN’T. AND IT JUST FELT LIKE TIME AND TIME AGAIN I WAS DISMISSED AND WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. >> THAT FRUSTRATION FORCING TO BE HER OWN ADVOCATE, SEEKING

OUT ONE FINAL OPINION TO FINALLY GET THE DIAGNOSIS SHE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR STAGE TWO ENDOMETRIOSIS. >> TO KNOW THAT I HAD A CHANCE OF NOT BEING IN AS MUCH PAIN AND FEELING LIKE MY FEELINGS WERE VALIDATED. >> THAT WAS SO MAJOR ME. >> ENDOMETRIOSIS IS A DISEASE IN WHICH TISSUE SIMILAR TO,

THE LINING OF THE UTERUS GROWS OUTSIDE THE UTERUS. THE CONDITION CAUSES SEVERE PAIN DURING PERIODS. NAUSEA OR BLOATING, FATIGUE AND DEPRESSION, AMONG OTHER SYMPTOMS. IT IMPACTS ROUGHLY 10% OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN AND GIRLS GLOBALLY. >> PATIENTS WILL COME TO SEE ME AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEIR PAIN HAS JUST BEEN DISMISSED.

SOMETIMES IT REALLY DOES TAKE FINDING THE RIGHT DOCTOR AND RIGHT PROVIDER TO REALLY SIT DOWN, LISTEN, SHOW SYMPTOMS AND REALLY BELIEVE IN THEIR PAIN AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT CAN WE DO? WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP IN GETTING YOU DIAGNOSED AND FEELING BETTER? >> NOW, SIX MONTHS FOLLOWING SURGERY TO GET HER ENDOMETRIAL

REMOVED, THE BLOATING AND PAIN SHE’D BEEN EXPERIENCING IS GONE . >> MY BIGGEST ADVICE IS TO NEVER, EVER GIVE UP. IT IS FAR TOO SERIOUS AND NOBODY SHOULD BE LIVING A IN PAIN OR DISCOMFORT JUST BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE A DIAGNOSIS. >> EVA PILGRIM. THANK YOU. >> KELSEY SAYS WHILE GETTING

A DIAGNOSIS MAY SEEM LIKE BAD NEWS FOR HER WAS A HUGE RELIEF TO FINALLY KNOW COMING, MEET THE 19 YEAR OLD MAKING FIGURE SKATING HISTORY, HOW HIS RECORD BREAKING JUMPS LANDED HIM THE TOP SPOT AT THE MEN’S WORLD FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIP. AND THE NICKNAME THE QUAD GOT GOT.

ISRAELI FORCES SAY THEIR RAID ON AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL IN GAZA COULD GO ON SEVERAL MORE DAYS. ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAY MORE THAN 800 MEN HAVE BEEN DETAINED AND MORE THAN 140 HAMAS TERRORISTS HAVE BEEN KILLED SINCE THE IDF LAUNCHED THE RAID LAST MONDAY. THEY CLAIM SENIOR HAMAS TERRORISTS WERE USING THE HOSPITAL CONDUCT

AND PROMOTE TERRORIST ACTIVITY. THE IDF RELEASED VIDEO OF FOOD AND WATER BEING DELIVERED TO CIVILIANS SHELTERING IN THE HOSPITAL. HOSPITAL OFFICIALS SAY AT LEAST 3000 GAZANS ARE TRAPPED AT AL-SHIFA WITH LIMITED FOOD AND WATER. THIS AS AN ISRAELI DELEGATION ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON TODAY FOR TALKS ABOUT A GROUND OPERATION

IN THE CITY OF IN SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE SOUGHT SHELTER. MORE THAN 12 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNDER WINTER WEATHER AS A MAJOR SPRING STORM MOVES THROUGH MULTIPLE STATES. A BLIZZARD WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF NEBRASKA AND PARTS OF COLORADO, KANSAS, SOUTH AND MINNESOTA.

AND AT LEAST FIVE TORNADOES WERE REPORTED IN KANSAS AND TEXAS YESTERDAY. NOW THAT THREAT IS MOVING EAST WITH ROLLING FORK, MISSISSIPPI, BRACING FOR POSSIBLE TORNADOES. ONE YEAR AFTER A DEADLY TWISTER DEVASTATED THE AREA, CARNIVAL IS COUNTING AT LEAST TWO UPCOMING CRUISES AFTER A FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP IN THE BAHAMAS.

EXHAUST ON THE CARNIVAL FREEDOM CAUGHT FIRE AND CRASHED DOWN AFTER WITNESSES SEEING A LIGHTNING STRIKE. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 HOURS TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. TWO CREW MEMBERS WERE REPORTEDLY INJURED. IS THE SECOND FIRE ON THE SHIP IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS? AND THOSE TWIN LOTTERY JACKPOT KEEP CLIMBING.

NEARLY $2 BILLION IS NOW UP FOR GRABS TONIGHT. POWERBALL PRIZES, $800 MILLION. TOMORROW’S MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT IS 1.1 BILLION. AND KENSINGTON PALACE SAYS PRINCESS KATE AND PRINCE WILLIAM ARE BOTH ENORMOUS TOUCHED BY THE WELL WISHES FROM THE PUBLIC AFTER SHE ANNOUNCED SHE’S BATTLING CANCER. IT’S AN UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT

FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY TO HAVE BOTH THE KING AND QUEEN UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT AT THE SAME TIME. >> ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI IS OUTSIDE KENSINGTON PALACE WITH THE DETAILS. >> THE ROYALS CONTENDING WITH A DOUBLE CANCER DIAGNOSIS. THE KING AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES, TWO STARS OF THE MONARCHY BOTH UNDERGOING

TREATMENT FOR CANCER. IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLY TOUGH COUPLE OF MONTHS FOR OUR ENTIRE FAMILY. >> PRINCE WILLIAM AND HIS WIFE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN, WAITING UNTIL GEORGE, CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS WOULD BE ON BEFORE GOING PUBLIC WITH THE NEWS. >> THEY HOPE THAT YOU’LL

UNDERSTAND THAT AS A FAMILY, WE NOW NEED SOME TIME. SPACE AND PRIVACY WHILE I COMPLETE MY TREATMENT. >> THE CHILDREN KNEW, THEIR GRANDFATHER HAD CANCER AND HAVE NOW FOUND OUT THEIR MOTHER DOES. >> AS I SAID TO THEM, I AM WELL, I’M GETTING STRONGER EVERY. THE KING AND THE PRINCESS

SUPPORTING EACH OTHER THROUGH THEIR TREATMENT. CHARLES VISITING KATE AT WINDSOR THE DAY BEFORE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS WITH ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR ROBERT JOBSON. >> AND BOTH ARE GOING THROUGH THIS. THE BOTH STARS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, THE VERY IMPORTANT CENTRAL FIGURES, AND THEY’RE SHARING THIS. I THINK THAT WHEN SHE GAVE

THAT, I THINK HE SPOKE OF THEIR COURAGE, WHICH I THINK A LOT OF US AGREE. THIS SAID BE LEFT WITH A LUMP IN THE THROAT WHEN SHE DELIVERED THAT MESSAGE. PALACE SAYING THE KING IS SO PROUD OF CATHERINE FOR HER COURAGE IN SPEAKING AS SHE DID, ADDING HIS MAJESTY HAS

REMAINED IN THE CLOSEST OF CONTACT WITH HER. PRINCE WILLIAM STEPPING UP, SUPPORTING HIS WIFE AND HIS FATHER THROUGH THESE TOUGH TIMES AND KEEPING UP WITH HIS ROYAL. THE HEIR TO THE THRONE SAYING HE WILL RETURN TO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS IN APRIL ONCE HIS CHILDREN ARE BACK AT SCHOOL. AND THE PRINCESS WILL RETURN

TO ROYAL DUTIES ONLY WHEN HER DOCTORS CLEAR HER TO DO SO . >> AND FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI ME NOW FROM OUTSIDE KENSINGTON PALACE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY AND ABC NEWS MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT DR. DARIEN SUTTON FOR MORE ON THIS. MAGGIE, THAT VIDEO FROM THE PRINCESS HAS ALREADY BEEN

VIEWED MORE THAN 100 MILLION TIMES ONEX ALONE. PRINCESS KATE APPARENTLY WROTE THIS STATEMENT HERSELF. SO HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT AND HOW ARE PEOPLE THERE IN THE U.K. RESPONDING? YEAH, IT’S INCREDIBLY SIGNIFICANT THAT KATE WROTE THIS STATEMENT. SHE REALLY WANTED TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE IN HER OWN WORDS,

SPEAK THEM ONE ON ONE. AND I THINK IT’S REALLY RESONATED WITH PEOPLE, NOT JUST HERE IN THE U.K. BUT AROUND THE WORLD. YOU KNOW, THIS WORD WE KEPT USING SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT CAME ON FRIDAY IS SHOCK. I THINK EVERYONE HAS BEEN SHOCKED BY THIS. AND KATE SAYS SHE HERSELF WAS

SHOCKED IN THAT VIDEO THAT THAT SHOCK IS SORT OF SETTLED. PEOPLE HERE ARE HONESTLY JUST FEELING SAD. YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMEONE THEY’VE GROWN UP WITH. PRINCESS KATE IS SO BELOVED IN THIS COUNTRY THAT PEOPLE’S HEARTS ARE BROKEN FOR HER, FOR HER FAMILY, FOR HER THREE YOUNG KIDS. AND I THINK THEN THERE’S

THAT MOMENT IN THAT VIDEO. WE HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF IT THERE WHERE SHE’S TALKING ABOUT TELLING THIS NEWS TO HER KIDS. SHE’S TELLS THEM SHE WILL GET BETTER. SHE’S GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY. AND WHILE SHE REMAINS CLOSE AND STRONG, YOU HEAR JUST A HINT OF EMOTION, HER VOICE.

IT IS SO REAL AND SO RAW. AND I THINK IT’S MOMENTS LIKE THAT THAT ARE REALLY IMPACTING PEOPLE TODAY, PEOPLE THAT PROBABLY ARE ALSO DEALING WITH FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE A CANCER DIAGNOSIS. I THINK IT’S REALLY CONNECTING WITH SO MANY PEOPLE. DIANE, LITERALLY, WHY DID THE PALACE DECIDE TO HAVE

THE PRINCESS DELIVER THIS MESSAGE OVER VIDEO? >> WELL, I THINK, AS MAGGIE SAID, THAT IT WAS VERY MUCH HER DECISION. AND IT IS AN UNPRECEDENTED OF DOING THINGS FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THIS KIND. MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, PARTICULARLY THE YOUNG ROYALS, HAVE BEEN USING THESE KIND OF VIDEO MESSAGES FOR

THEIR CHARITY WORK FOR SOME TIME NOW. BUT TO ACTUALLY DELIVER A PERSONAL HEALTH UPDATE IN THIS WAY REALLY BROKE NEW GROUND. >> I THINK THERE WAS A FEELING THAT BECAUSE REMEMBER BACK IN JANUARY, KENSINGTON ACTUALLY SAID ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THEY DID SAY WAS THAT THIS WAS NOT THOUGHT TO BE CANCEROUS.

AND NOW BECAUSE THAT HAD CHANGED, I THINK THAT WAS A FEELING THAT REALLY TO HAVE HER SIT DOWN AND EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE DIRECTLY WAS VERY IMPORTANT. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS WAS HER DECISION AND THIS WAS ABOUT HER WANTING TO USE OWN WORDS. AND JUST QUICKLY, I ALSO THINK

IT WAS A DIRECT PLEA FOR PRIVACY. HER PRIVACY IS PROTECTED BY LAW AND ETHICS THIS COUNTRY. BUT WE HAVE SEEN IN RECENT WEEKS, IN THE WAKE OF THAT DISCUSSION AROUND THE MOTHER’S DAY PHOTOGRAPH, OFF DUTY IMAGES AND FOOTAGE BEING PUBLISHED OF HER. AND I THINK WHAT KENSINGTON PALACE IS NOW HOPING IS THAT

BY SITTING DOWN AND FOR PRIVACY, THEY WON’T HAVE TO GET INTO THESE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT OF THIS KIND OF VIDEO AND THESE KIND OF IMAGES MOVING FORWARD. >> DR. SUTTON, THE PALACE SAYS KATE IS NOW UNDERGOING PREVENT ACTIVE CHEMOTHERAPY. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WELL, PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY CAN MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

YOU MIGHT HEAR CLINICALLY IN MEDICINE, WE USE A SIMILAR TERM CALLED ADJUVANT. THE MAIN GOAL IS TO PREVENT THIS CANCER FROM WHATEVER WHATEVER YOU REMOVE TO COMING BACK IN THE FUTURE. AND THERE’S SOMETIMES A SUSPICION ON PART FROM THE SURGEON OR EVEN THE COLLEGES THAT MAYBE THERE ARE RESIDUAL CANCER CELLS LEFT,

WHICH IS CHEMOTHERAPY IS FOR. SO AGAIN, THE MAIN GOAL IS REDUCING THE ODDS OF RECURRENCE AND THAT YOU WOULD NO LONGER EXPECT SEE PRINCESS KATE OR PRINCE WILLIAM ON EASTER SUNDAY. AND AS OF NOW, WILL ONLY RETURN TO OFFICIAL ROYAL DUTIES WHEN HER DOCTORS ADVISE HER TO.

>> SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE MONARCHY RIGHT NOW? YEAH. WELL, JANE, WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS REALLY AN UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT. THE MONARCHY, AS YOU MENTIONED, ABOUT THE KING AND FUTURE QUEEN OUT OF ROYAL DUTIES, UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT. >> ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE POOL

OF ALREADY A SMALL GROUP OF THE WORKING ROYALS HAS ONLY GOTTEN SMALLER. AND WE HAD BEEN SEEING PRINCE WILLIAM REALLY STEPPING IN. >> BUT HE’S TAKING SOME TIME OFF NOW TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY OVER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. WE KNOW THAT WE WON’T SEE HIM AT LEAST UNTIL MID-APRIL IN AN

OFFICIAL CAPACITY. RIGHT NOW, IT’S REALLY QUEEN CAMILLA IS ONE OF THE ONLY WORKING ROYALS DOING ENGAGEMENTS. SHE HAS MULTIPLE ENGAGEMENTS THIS WEEK AND. I THINK THAT’S FAIRLY UNEXPECTED. AND I THINK IF WE HAD SPOKEN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, NO ONE WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD BE QUEEN CAMILLA WITH THE

MONARCHY ON HER SHOULDERS RIGHT NOW. BUT THAT’S WHERE WE ARE THIS WEEK. AND AS YOU SAID, KATE WE’RE NOT EXPECTING TO SEE HER BACK UNTIL HER DOCTORS SAY IT’S OKAY. AND SO YOU CAN IMAGINE IT MIGHT BE QUITE SOME TIME UNTIL WE HAVE A GOOD NUMBER OF WORKING

ROYALS OUT AND ABOUT AGAIN. >> AND IN VICTORIA, THE DISCUSSIONS SURROUNDING PRINCESS WHEREABOUTS WASN’T REALLY DRIVEN BY THE BRITISH TABLOIDS. >> THIS TIME IT WAS BY SOCIAL MEDIA. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? >> WELL, I THINK IT’S BEEN A VERY INTERESTING EXAMPLE OF HOW EASY IT IS THINGS TO GET

OUT OF CONTROL IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA AGE AND HOW EASY IT IS NOW FOR THE NARRATIVE TO RUN OUT OF CONTROL. AND IF THERE WAS EVER AN ARGUMENT FOR MORE SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATION, THEN THIS IS YOU KNOW, SOCIAL MEDIA IS PUBLISHING AND JOURNALISTS KNOW WHEN THEY PUBLISH INFORMATION AND PUT INFORMATION

INTO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO STRICT LEGAL AND ETHICAL REGULATIONS. THEY HAVE TO BE CERTAIN THAT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS CORRECT. BUT IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA UNAWARE OF THOSE REGULATIONS, BUT THEY ARE ACTUALLY PUBLISHING THINGS, BUT TREATING

IT AS IF IT IS SOME KIND OF CASUAL CONVERSATION WITH FRIENDS. AND I THINK THAT’S A REALLY INTERESTING SITUATION THAT WE’RE NOW IN. OF COURSE, A LOT OF THESE COUNCILS SAY ANONYMOUS AND WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE POSTING FROM. SO CERTAINLY THROWN OF THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ROLE

THAT SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY IN MISINFORMATION. >> VICTORIA, DO YOU THINK IT CHANGES HOW THE PALACE HAS TO ADDRESS ISSUES THIS AND PUT OUT INFORMATION OR NOT DURING SITUATIONS LIKE THIS? >> WELL, I THINK ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS IS THAT AND KATE DID REALLY STICK TO THEIR GUNS

AND STICK TO THEIR OWN TIME FRAME. THEY DIDN’T SORT REACT IN A KIND OF KNEEJERK WAY WHEN PEOPLE WERE QUESTIONING THINGS INITIALLY OR AFTER THE MOTHER’S DAY PHOTOGRAPH. THEY REALLY DID TAKE THEIR OWN TIME. AND THERE IS AN ARGUMENT THAT REALLY TRYING TO IGNORE THE FUNERAL ON SOCIAL IS THE

BEST WAY TO DO THINGS, BECAUSE ONCE YOU START TO REACT TO IT, THEN YOU END UP IN THIS CONSTANT CYCLE OF REACTION. BUT ALSO THAT NEED COOPERATION AS WELL FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN AND WE SAW HAPPEN A LITTLE BIT HERE WAS

ONCE THERE WAS A CERTAIN VOLUME OF NOISE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IT BEGAN TO FILTER ITS WAY BACK INTO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. SO I THINK THESE ARE ALL QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ALSO BE ASKING OURSELVES RIGHT NOW. >> AND DR. SUTTON, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, 40% OF PEOPLE WILL BE DIAGNOSED

WITH CANCER IN THEIR LIFETIME. SO WHY ARE WE SEEING MORE YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE PRINCESS KATE DIAGNOSED? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE ATTRIBUTED THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE, BUT IT’S BEEN PANNING OUT IN THE LARGER EVIDENCE THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE U.K., FOR

WOMEN AGES 40 TO 44, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MOST RECENT STATISTICS FROM 2021, IT WAS A 7% INCREASE COMPARED TO THE YEARS. >> AND WE HAVE SIMILAR NUMBERS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. AS YOU SAID, MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER EARLIER NOW COLON CANCER BEING THE LEADING CAUSE

OF DEATH AMONG MEN UNDER 50 AND THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE AMONG OF DEATH AMONG WOMEN UNDER 50 AT. >> UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DATA, THERE’S NO CLEAR ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IS IT SOMETHING WE’RE EXPOSED TO? IS IT SOMETHING IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, OR IS IT JUST

SIMPLY MORE AWARENESS AND ACCESS TO TESTING? WHAT IS IS THAT IT’S A REALLY IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SYMPTOMS, YOUR PROVIDER, AND ALSO BE CLEAR ABOUT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCREENING GUIDELINES OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AN OPEN AND HONEST CONVERSATION SO

THAT YOU CAN CREATE A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. >> ALL RIGHT. MAGGIE RULLI VICTORIA MURPHY AND DR. DARIEN SUTTON, THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, A MAJOR LEAGUE INVESTIGATION. WHY QUESTIONS ARE GROWING AS BASEBALL’S BIGGEST SHOHEI OHTANI PREPARES TO PUBLICLY ADDRESS THE GAMBLING SCANDAL INVOLVING HIS FORMER INTERPRETER. ALSO AHEAD, SLEEP IS TAKING OFF.

BASEBALL’S BIGGEST STAR, SHOHEI ,EMBROILED IN AN INVESTIGATION

BY MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL. WHILE THE IRS ALSO ZEROES IN ON AN ALLEGED ILLEGAL GAMBLING SCANDAL INVOLVING HIS FORMER INTERPRETER. >> THE SCANDAL HAS THE POTENTIAL BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST SPORTS SCANDALS WE’VE EVER SEEN, CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST BASEBALL SCANDALS WE’VE EVER SEEN. >> OHTANI IS THE HIGHEST PAID

PLAYER IN AMERICAN SPORTS. ESPN REPORTING HIS INTERPRETER AND BEST FRIEND, EPA ALLEGEDLY USED THE SUPERSTAR’S MONEY TO PAY OFF AT LEAST $4.5 MILLION TO COVER HIS GAMBLING DEBTS TO A BOOKMAKER WHO WAS ALSO UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. MEET ARE FIRST CLAIMING THE SUPERSTAR AGREED TO HELP HIM PAY THE DEBTS ONLY TO WALK

THAT BACK A DAY LATER. >> HE SAID THAT OHTANI HAD KNOWLEDGE OF HIS GAMING DEBTS AND HAD NOT PAID THE MONEY THROUGH THE WIRE TRANSFERS. >> MATSUMURA DENIES BETTING ON BASEBALL, TELLING ESPN HE PLACE BETS ON SOCCER, BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL.

RETREATS IS REALLY GETTING US COLLECTIVELY A BREAK AND PULLING OURSELVES OUT OF OUR NORMAL DAY TO DAY HOTELS, CREATING ENVIRONMENTS ARE BEST FOR REST, QUIET, TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED AND COMFORTABLE. EQUINOX HOTEL IN NEW YORK HAS TEMPERATURE REGULATING MATTRESSES. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY RELAXING EXPERIENCE AND IT

BREAKING NEWS, EXCLUSIVES, LINES REPORTING ACROSS THE GLOBE KEEPS STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THE PARENTS OF WALL STREET REPORTER EVAN GERSHKOVICH ARE SPEAKING OUT ONE YEAR AFTER THEIR SON WAS DETAINED IN RUSSIA. GERSHKOVICH WAS ARRESTED ON ESPIONAGE CHARGES WHILE ON A REPORTING TRIP THERE.

AND HIS PARENTS, ELLA AND MIKHAIL, HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO BRING HOME EVER SINCE. OUR GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS SAT DOWN WITH THEM AND THE PAPER’S EDITOR IN CHIEF FOR THIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. >> ARE YOU DOING. >> WE’RE STILL HOLDING UP. WE HAVE PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PROMISE DELIVERED TO US PERSONALLY AND IN THE STATE

OF THE. WE’RE ALSO WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO BRING HOME EVAN AND PAUL. AMERICA HAS BEEN UNJUSTLY DETAINED BY THE RUSSIANS. >> AND WE KNOW THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS TAKING EVAN’S CASE VERY SERIOUSLY. >> SO WE ARE OPTIMISTIC. WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO GO TO THE CITY?

IT’S A SIGN FOR US. THE EVERYBODY IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, THE U.S. SENATE AND CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE ARE TAKING THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS SERIOUSLY. AND IT’S IMPORTANT. >> THIS WEEK MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE A 32 YEAR OLD WAS ARRESTED BY RUSSIA’S SECURITY SERVICE AT A STEAK

HOUSE RESTAURANT WHILE ON A REPORTING TRIP. EVAN, WHO IS ACCREDITED BY RUSSIA’S FOREIGN MINISTRY TO WORK AS A JOURNALIST, IS BEING HELD ON CHARGES OF ESPIONAGE ALLEGATIONS. EVAN, THE U.S. AND THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL” FIRMLY DENY HE HAS PLED NOT GUILTY AND THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT HAS DECLARED HIM WRONGFULLY DETAINED.

>> TELL ME ABOUT THE EFFORTS AT THE WALL STREET JOURNAL’S MAKING ON BEHALF OF DEVIN BOTH TO GET HIM FREE TO SUPPORT HIM INSIDE RUSSIA. >> WELL, IN TERMS OF GETTING EVAN FREED, THAT’S VERY MUCH A GOVERNMENT TO GOVERNMENT ISSUE. SO OUR FOCUS OF THE JOURNAL HAS BEEN TO KEEP EVAN’S STORY FRONT

OF MIND TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT AN INNOCENT JOURNALIST IS IN BEHIND BARS IN PRISON FOR DOING HIS JOB. >> WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS WITH EVAN? >> WELL, WE STILL KEEP WRITING LETTERS. YOU KNOW, EVAN TRIES TO PROTECT US. WE ARE TRYING PROTECT HIM. >> AND I READ THAT

YOU’RE PLAYING LONG DISTANCE WITH HIM. >> HE’S TEACHING ME. IT’S A FRIENDLY GAME. IT’S NOT A COMPETITION. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE’S SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY MOTHER. >> I WAS AMAZED TO READ THAT HE’S ACTUALLY MAKING THAT HE SENDS GIFTS THAT YOU DO FOR HIM TO ALL HIS FRIENDS

AND FAMILY AROUND IMPORTANT OCCASIONS. >> YES. YOU. HIS FRIENDS, BIRTHDAYS. WE RECEIVED FROM HIM FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY LAST YEAR. AND SHE REALLY CARES. SHE WANTS TO THANK PEOPLE FOR THEIR CARE ABOUT HIM, FOR KEEPING HIS STORY FRONT AND CENTER. IN DECEMBER, THE STATE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED RUSSIA

REJECTED A PROPOSAL THAT WOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE RELEASE OF EVAN AND FORMER MARINE PAUL WHELAN. BUT VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS RECENTLY SUGGESTED HE COULD BE OPEN TO A PRISONER SWAP. WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEARD PRESIDENT PUTIN DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF A TRADE WAR AND WERE HAPPY? BOTH GOVERNMENTS HAD EXPRESSED

WILLINGNESS TO NEGOTIATE. AND YOU’RE CONFIDENT, AS I SAID, THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN RIGHT NOW? >> WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEY’RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN. AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. >> WHAT MORE HAS TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW, IN YOUR VIEW. WELL, OBVIOUSLY, CONVERSATIONS

HAVE TO KEEP TO CONTINUE. I THINK THESE HOSTAGE DEALS ARE ALWAYS, BY THEIR NATURE, COMPLICATED. I MEAN, TALKING OF CHESS, THEY’RE LIKE CHESS BOARDS. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ONE PIECE AND AN EDGE TOWARDS AN ENDGAME. AND THEN ANOTHER PIECE MOVES. AND YOU YOU TAKE A BACKWARD STEP.

EVAN WILL BE RELEASED, BUT IT’S COMPLICATED TO THAT. THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENTS INVOLVED. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND OPTIMISTIC, ALAN SAYS. >> WHAT KEEPS YOU OPTIMISTIC EVERY DAY? >> WELL, I THINK IF YOU LET THE PESSIMISM IN IS THE GAME

IS OVER. THEY ARE SAYING AND FAMILY IS MOVING. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE EVAN DOES EVERYTHING HE CAN TO KEEP YOUR. >> YES. YES. I THINK FOR BOTH OF US, WE EXCHANGED OURSELVES THAT WE’RE MOVING FORWARD AND WE WANT YOU TO KEEP GOING. AND HE SAYS THAT HE’S FIGHTING.

>> HE’S FIGHTING THAT YOU CAN’T HAVE HIM BACK ON STAFF, THAT YOU MIGHT GIVE HIM A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME OFF. BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A REPORTER WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE HAVE IS WE WE DON’T HAVE ANYONE ON THE GROUND IN RUSSIA, NOT JUST US, BUT — BUT VIRTUALLY

NO NEWS ORGANIZATIONS HAVE ANYONE ON THE GROUND THERE. >> AND THAT’S THE WIDER ISSUE AT STAKE HERE. >> READY FOR A BIG CELEBRATION WHEN HE COMES ON. OF COURSE. AND I’LL BE JUST HAPPY TO GET A FACE TO FACE OF CHESS WITH HIM, HOPING THAT MOMENT COMES SOON. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, THANK

AND DIAMANTÉ. SO LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN COURT IN NEW YORK. HE’S ATTENDING HEARING OVER WHETHER TO FURTHER DELAY THE TRIAL OVER HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS HE ALLEGEDLY TO STORMY DANIELS AND KAREN MCDOUGAL AHEAD OF THE 2016 ELECTION. TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS HAVE DEMANDED

A MONTH LONG DELAY, ACCUSING THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE. PROSECUTORS SAY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PAGES RECENTLY TURNED OVER DO NOT CONTAIN THAT MUCH NEW INFORMATION AND SHOULDN’T TAKE THAT LONG TO REVIEW. EARLIER, TRUMP CRITICIZED THE CASE AGAINST HIM BEFORE WALKING INTO THAT HEARING,

WHICH, MEANWHILE, TODAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR TRUMP TO SECURE A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND TO APPEAL THE JUDGMENT IN HIS CIVIL FRAUD. HIS LAWYERS HAVE ARGUED THAT OBTAINING A BOND FOR THAT AMOUNT IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY IF YOU CAN’T SECURE THE BOND. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES CAN START THE

PROCESS OF SEIZING HIS ASSETS. >> LET’S BRING IN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN, EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI, ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR CHRIS TIMMONS. FOR MORE. OLIVIA, START WITH THIS HEARING. IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL, THE JUDGE SEEMED SKEPTICAL ABOUT LONGER DELAY.

WHAT’S THE LATEST FROM INSIDE COURT? >> HE DID, DIANE. AND A LOT OF THAT SKEPTICISM COMES TO EXACTLY THE NUMBER OF DOCUMENTS THAT ARE AT ISSUE HERE. KNOW OVER 100,000 PAGES OF RECORDS WERE TURNED OVER TO DONALD TRUMP IN RECENT WEEKS. BUT THE QUESTION THAT THE

JUDGE IS TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IS HOW MANY OF THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE RELEVANT TO THIS CASE. THE D.A.’S OFFICE SAYS IT’S ONLY ABOUT 3000 PAGES OF DOCUMENTS, BUT TRUMP’S TEAM IS DISPUTING THEY’RE SAYING THAT THEY WHILE THEY’RE NOT GIVING AN ACTUAL NUMBER, ACTUALLY IS IRKING THE JUDGE A LITTLE BIT.

BUT THEY’RE SAYING THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PAGES THAT ARE RELEVANT IN THEIR OPINION AND THAT THERE ARE TENS, THOUSANDS MORE THAT THEY STILL NEED TO GET INTO. AND THAT IS SORT OF CREATING A BIT OF FRICTION BETWEEN TRUMP’S TEAM AND THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE. THEY’VE HAD A COUPLE OF TESTY

EXCHANGES WHERE THE IS TRYING TO GET A SOLID NUMBER ON THE NUMBER OF THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE AND AT ONE POINT SAYING YOU’RE NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. SO I’M MOVING ON. AND TRUMP’S ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHARD, SORT TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY DON’T YET HAVE THAT NUMBER OF. EXACTLY HOW MANY RECORDS

ARE RELEVANT HERE. AND THERE’S ALSO DISAGREEMENT ON WHAT EXACTLY IS RELEVANT. THE JUDGE HAS THAT NOTHING RELATED TO THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION, WHICH, OF COURSE, ENSNARED COHEN IS GOING TO COME INTO THIS CASE. SO THEY BETTER KNOCK OUT ALL OF THOSE DOCUMENTS RIGHT NOW. AND THAT REALLY IS THE KEY.

DIANE, HOW MANY RECORDS ARE AT ISSUE? THE JUDGE SAID HIMSELF SAID, I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY RECORDS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, BECAUSE THAT IS GOING HELP ME DETERMINE HOW MUCH TIME YOU NEED AND HOW MUCH TIME GOING TO DELAY THE TRIAL BY, BUT REALLY NOT GETTING TO AN ANSWER THERE, DIANE.

CHRIS, STORMY DANIELS AND MICHAEL COHEN ARE EXPECTED TO TESTIFY IN THIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL. HOW CRITICAL IS THEIR TESTIMONY TO THE CASE? >> I MEAN, CRUCIAL, PARTICULARLY MICHAEL COHEN. HE’S PERSON THAT MADE THE PAYMENTS. AND SO NOW THE QUESTION THERE IS, HOW MUCH DIRECTION WAS HE TAKING FROM DONALD

TRUMP WHILE WAS MAKING THOSE HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS AND MORE PARTICULARLY THE DIRECTION THAT THEY WERE TAKING WITH REGARD TO THE TRUMP DOCUMENTS AND HOW THEY BEING RECORDED? YOU GOT TO REMEMBER THAT AT THE HEART OF THIS CASE, TWO ISSUES. ONE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE MONEY BEING USED FOR

CAMPAIGN PURPOSES, IN OTHER WORDS, TO KEEP THAT INFORMATION OUT OF THE NEWS SO THEY COULD KEEP THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S PROSPECTS ALIVE. BUT THE OTHER PIECE OF IT WAS HOW THEY WERE DOCUMENTING IT WITH REGARD TO THE BUSINESS RECORDS. AND THAT’S REALLY THE CRIME. THEY’RE THEY’RE ALLEGING THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE’S BUSINESS

RECORDS WERE IMPROPERLY RECORDED, THAT THIS MONEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT DOWN AS HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS AND VERIFY THAT IT WOULD AFFECT THE CAMPAIGN. THAT WASN’T DONE. >> AT LEAST THOSE ARE THE ALLEGATIONS, ACCORDING TO NEW YORK DIANE. BRIAN, TRUMP IS UP AGAINST THIS DEADLINE TO SECURE A BOND IN A

CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. HE’S CLAIMED HE HAS ALMOST $500 MILLION IN CASH, BUT THAT HE WANTED TO USE IT FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. SO HOW DOES THAT WORK LEGALLY? HOW CAN HIS LAWYER ARGUE IN COURT THAT IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO PAY THIS BOND IF HE’S SAYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

THAT HE HAS THE CASH, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIS ATTORNEYS, IS THE SHORT ANSWER. I THINK THE ATTORNEY CAN GO ONE OF MANY WAYS, EITHER ONE SAYING THAT DONALD TRUMP IS CORRECT TO SAY HE HAS THIS MUCH CASH ON HAND, BUT THAT HE NEEDS IT FOR

OTHER THINGS, WHETHER IT BE FOR RUNNING A CAMPAIGN, RUNNING HIS COMPANIES OR OTHER AVENUES THAT HE NEEDS TO SPEND THAT ON . THE OTHER OPTION IS TO AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE, KIND OF QUOTE UNQUOTE, THROWN UNDER THE BUS TO SAY THERE IS ONE THING THAT DONALD TRUMP WILL

SAY IN PUBLIC, BUT IT’S ANOTHER THING AND SAYS IN ALSO, THE JUDGE HAS ALREADY RULED THAT DONALD TRUMP SEEMS TO EXAGGERATE HIS INCOME, EXAGGERATE THE WEALTH HE HAS, AND THE VALUE OF HIS PROPERTY. IF I’M HIS DEFENSE ATTORNEY, QUIETLY, I SAY, JUDGE, YOU’VE ALREADY FOUND HIM TO BE A LIAR ONCE.

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE HIM TO? BE TRUTHFUL NOW, LET’S GO WITH WHAT THE COURT DOCUMENTS SAY. RATHER, WHAT MY CLIENT SAYS AND THE PUBLIC. >> JOHN. MEANWHILE, TRUMP, SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY JUST COMPLETED THIS MERGER THAT COULD NET THE FORMER PRESIDENT $3 BILLION. >> SO WHY CAN’T HE USE THAT MONEY TO SECURE THIS?

>> SO BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT LATE ON FRIDAY WAS A PUBLIC COMPANY AND TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY THAT JOINED FORCES AND MORE MERGED TO BECOME NOW A NEW PUBLIC COMPANY. IT’S GOING TO TRADE EVENTUALLY THE NASDAQ UNDER THE SYMBOL IF YOU CAN’T MAKE THINGS UP. DJT FOR HIS INITIALS.

HOWEVER, THE BOARD OF THIS COMPANY, MUCH OF WHICH DONALD TRUMP CONTROLS, HAS A RULE THAT YOU CAN’T LIQUIDATE FOR SIX MONTHS NOW. THE BOARD COULD GIVE HIM A WAIVER. I’M TOLD FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES CLOSE TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT. IT’S A REAL DIVIDE. DIANE HAVE. THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM SAYING DO

IT, GET THE MONEY THAT WEEK, MAKE THIS GO AND CASH OUT. 3 BILLION IS A LOT. ON THE FLIP SIDE, IF YOU DO THAT TRUTH SOCIAL IS ONLY QUOTE UNQUOTE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP IS A PART OF SHREWD SOCIAL. SO IF HE CASHES OUT THE THEORY IS. WELL, WAIT A SECOND, YOU JUST

POP THE WHOLE BALLOON HERE. SO THAT’S SOMETHING THAT RIGHT NOW THEY’RE DEBATING WHAT TO DO. THE REALITY IS TWOFOLD, RIGHT? NUMBER, THEY’RE WAITING TO SEE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE COURT OF APPEALS HERE IN NEW YORK. IF THEY DELAY THIS CASE. BUT TO JUST GO BACK TO THE

QUESTION AS BRIAN TRUMP SAYING, HE HAS 500 MILLION CASH ON HAND, PART OF THAT, IT UNDERCUTS THE LAWYERS SAYING WE DON’T HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY AND PART B, DONALD TRUMP SAYING HE WOULD USE THAT MONEY IN BUILDING HIS CAMPAIGN. QUICK FACT CHECK. DONALD TRUMP HAS NOT CONTRIBUTED TO HIS CAMPAIGN SINCE 2016.

DIANE ALL RIGHT, JOHN SANTUCCI OLIVIA RUBIN, CHRIS TIMMONS, BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU ALL. >> AND WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON THAT HUSH MONEY HEARING AND THE BOND DEADLINE THROUGHOUT THE DAY RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. >> WELL, ALSO FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS FROM BOEING, THE PRESIDENT AND CEO DAVID CALHOUN SAYS

HE’S PLANNING TO STEP DOWN AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IT COMES AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS INVOLVING PLANES. I WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY FOR MORE ON THIS. >> SO WHAT DOES THIS MOVE SIGNAL FOR THE FUTURE OF BOEING ? >> WELL, DIANE, THEY HAD

TO CLEAN UP THIS COMPANY. AS WE KNOW, THERE HAD BEEN PRODUCTION ISSUES WITH BOEING FOR YEARS. WE EXPECTED IT TO BE FIXED. THOSE TWO CRASHES ON THE 737 MAX IN 2018 AND 2019. BUT OF COURSE, THAT NOW INFAMOUS TO A PLUG INCIDENT HAS REALLY UNRAVELED EVERYTHING THAT THEY TRIED TO FIX.

AND NOW DAVE CALHOUN IS TAKING THE BLAME. WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP LAST WEEK WHEN THE AIRLINES, THE CEOS OF THE MAJOR AIRLINES IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD DEMANDED A MEETING WITH BOEING AND ITS BUT DID NOT WANT TO INCLUDE THE CEO THAT SIGNALED THEIR LACK OF CONFIDENCE AND THEIR DESIRE

FOR CHANGE, BECAUSE OVERALL THESE CEOS WANT AIRPLANES. THEY WANT THEM RIGHT NOW. AND BOEING IS NOT DELIVERING. SO THIS IS A MAJOR BLOW. THIS IS THE BIGGEST SHAKEUP FOR BOEING IN ITS 108 YEAR HISTORY. >> SAM CALHOUN SAID ALASKA AIRLINES DOOR PLUG INCIDENT WAS A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR BOEING.

WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT AND THE REST OF THIS LETTER HE SENT TO EMPLOYEES? >> BROOKE, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING, EXPERTS AND BOEING INSIDERS, THAT BOEING WAS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE. THEY WANTED PLANES. THEY WANTED TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND THEY WERE PUSHING PLANES OUT WHILE

THERE WERE CORNERS BEING CUT. THIS IS A BIG MOMENT. WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED. THOSE DOOR PLUGS WERE ALLEGEDLY NOT PUT OR, THE DOOR BOLTS WERE NOT PUT BACK ON. >> AND THEN THAT DOOR BLEW OUT BECAUSE OF THINGS THAT WERE BEING MISSED. AND THEY NOW NEED TO FOCUS

ON OVER QUANTITY THAT TRAVELERS BEEN POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SHARING CONCERNS ABOUT FLYING ON BOEING PLANES, LEGITIMATE. ARE THOSE CONCERNS? SHOULD WE BE WORRIED ABOUT FLYING BOEING? >> NO SAFETY ON PLANES REMAINS BEST THAT IT’S EVER BEEN. THERE HAS BEEN ONE PERSON WHO WAS KILLED ON U.S. AIRPLANE

CRASH SINCE 2009, AND THAT WAS THE WOMAN WHO WAS OUT OF THAT WINDOW ON THE SOUTHWEST PLANE BACK IN 2018. JENNIFER REARDON. BUT OVERALL SAFETY, AVIATION REMAINS THE SAFEST FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. NOW, A NUMBER OF THESE ISSUES ARE MAKING HEADLINES, BUT AGAIN, THERE ARE REDUNDANCIES ON AIRCRAFT

THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE THERE TO KEEP ALL OF US SAFE AND WILL REMAIN SAFE AS LONG AS BOEING GETS ITS ACT TOGETHER. AND THE, OF COURSE, KEEPS ITS OVERSIGHT IN OVERDRIVE. >> ALL RIGHT, SAM SWEENEY THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. AND FOUR SUSPECTS ARE FACING TERRORISM CHARGES AFTER

A DEADLY TERRORIST ATTACK ON A IN MOSCOW. ISIS IS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRIDAY’S IN THE CONCERT HALL THAT KILLED AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE AND INJURED 182. NOW WE’RE LEARNING U.S. HAD SHARED INFORMATION ABOUT A POSSIBLE ATTACK WITH RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES. BUT A RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT SAYS THE INFO WAS NOT CONCRETE. CHIEF AFFAIRS

CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ HAS THE LATEST. THE HORRIFIC TOLL OF THE MASS SHOOTING EVIDENT AT THE SMOLDERING SCENE OF RUSSIA’S DEADLIEST ATTACK DECADES. MORE THAN 135 MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED. HUNDREDS MORE INJURED. IT WAS FRIDAY EVENING IN MOSCOW WHEN FOUR ISIS-K TERRORISTS, ARMED WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS,

SHOT THEIR WAY INTO A CONCERT AT A SHOPPING COMPLEX. THE AUDIENCE INSIDE WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE ROCK BAND TO BEGIN. WHEN GUNFIRE RIPPED THROUGH THE HALL, ALL THE WHILE HEARING THE RELENTLESS TERROR OF FIRING BURST OF AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRE, AN EYEWITNESS SAYING THE MEN FIRED DIRECTLY INTO

THE CROWD FACE TO FACE. ANOTHER WITNESS SAYING WHEN THE SHOOTING WAS OVER, THE ISIS-K GUNMAN HURLED EXPLOSIVES AS THEY FLED. WITHIN MINUTES, BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES POURING FROM THE FACILITY, TRAPPING MANY INSIDE. AND CAVING IN THE ROOF. RUSSIA SAYING THEY CAPTURED AND CHARGED THESE MEN WITH THE SHOOTING. ONE CLEARLY BLOODIED AND BEATEN

WITH REPORTS OF TORTURE AS WELL. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN CLAIMING WITHOUT EVIDENCE THAT THE MEN WERE HEADED TO UKRAINE. HE NEVER MENTIONED ISIS-K DESPITE ITS CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY, THE U.S. CONFIRMING THE ATTACK WAS CARRIED OUT BY THE ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS AS WELL. >> WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAY THEY HAD THE RUSSIANS OF AN

IMMINENT RISK OF AN ISIS-K ATTACK JUST TWO WEEKS AGO. AN ATTACK THEY SAID COULD SPECIFICALLY A CONCERT HALL. INSTEAD OF HEEDING THE WARNING ,PUTIN SAID THE US WAS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL RUSSIA. >> THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT ONLY PASSED TO THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. IT WAS MADE PUBLIC AS WELL.

ISIS-K IS BASED IN AFGHANISTAN AND IS SEEKING REVENGE AGAINST RUSSIA FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE WAR IN SYRIA AND ELSEWHERE. ALSO THIS MORNING, THE WAKE OF THIS ATTACK. FRANCE HAS RAISED ITS NATIONAL SECURITY ALERT SYSTEM TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL. DIANE CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ, THANK YOU. AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA

HARRIS SAYS THERE COULD BE CONSEQUENCES FOR ISRAEL IF IT MOVES AHEAD WITH A PLANNED INVASION OF RAFAH. GAZA’S SOUTHERN CITY IS BELIEVED TO CURRENTLY HAVE ROUGHLY 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE IN IT. AND THE VICE PRESIDENT SAYS AN OFFENSIVE WOULD LEAVE PEOPLE WITH NOWHERE TO GO. THIS COMES AS THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL JUST ADOPTED

A RESOLUTION DEMANDING AN IMMEDIATE CEASE IN GAZA FOR THE MONTH OF RAMADAN. OUR SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT SAT DOWN WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IN PARKLAND, FLORIDA, FOR THIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. LEADER SCHUMER WAS BLUNT IN HIS REMARKS ON THE SENATE FLOOR. >> HE CALLED NETANYAHU IN TO PEACE. HE’S CALLING FOR NEW ELECTIONS

IN ISRAEL. PRESIDENT CALLED THAT A GOOD SPEECH. WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT? DOES THE ADMINISTRATION THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE NEW ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL? WELL, I WILL NOT SPEAK FOR SENATOR SCHUMER, BUT WE ARE VERY CLEAR THAT IS ON THE ISRAELI PEOPLE TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT WHEN WILL HAVE

AN ELECTION AND WHO, OF COURSE, THEY ELECT TO LEAD THEIR GOVERNMENT. THAT’S FOR THEM TO SAY. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT, DANIEL, WHO IS AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE? I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE GOT TO CONTINUE TO, ENFORCE WHAT WE KNOW TO BE AND SHOULD BE THE PRIORITIES IN TERMS OF WHAT

IS HAPPENING IN GAZA. WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT. FAR TOO MANY INNOCENT PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT ISRAEL AND THE ISRAELI PEOPLE AND PALESTINIANS ARE ENTITLED TO AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF SECURITY AND DIGNITY. AND FRANKLY, WE HAVE BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON ALSO GETTING THE HOSTAGES OUT AND GETTING

AID IN. >> NETANYAHU APPEARS TO JUST BE FLAT OUT IGNORING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S WARNING ABOUT AN OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH. IS THAT A RED LINE FOR YOUR ADMINISTRATION? WE HAVE BEEN CLEAR IN MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS AND IN EVERY WAY THAT ANY MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION IN, RAFAH, WOULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. I HAVE STUDIED THE MAPS. THERE’S NOWHERE FOR THOSE FOLKS TO GO. AND WE’RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PEOPLE IN RAFAH WHO ARE BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD TO GO THERE, MOST OF THEM. AND SO WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT IT WOULD BE A

MISTAKE TO MOVE INTO RAFAH WITH ANY TYPE OF MILITARY OPERATION, A MISTAKE. BUT WOULD THERE BE CONSEQUENCES IF HE DOES MOVE FORWARD, WHERE WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME? BUT WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR IN TERMS OF OUR PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT SHOULD HAPPEN.

ARE YOU RULING OUT THAT THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES, THE UNITED STATES? I AM RULING OUT NOTHING. I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE BORDER. >> DID YOU WATCH THAT BORDER VIDEO DOWN IN EL PASO? AND DOES THAT SEND A MESSAGE TO AMERICANS THAT THE BORDER IS SECURE?

WE ARE VERY CLEAR, AND I THINK MOST AMERICANS ARE CLEAR THAT WE HAVE A BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM AND WE NEED TO FIX IT. MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE, THOSE CONSIDERED TO BE VERY CONSERVATIVE WHEN OTHERS CAME TO A BIPARTISAN RESOLUTION. BUT THERE ARE REFUSING TO PUT

IT UP FOR A VOTE AND IN LARGE PART, BECAUSE WE KNOW THE FORMER PRESIDENT WOULD PREFER TO RUN ON A PROBLEM INSTEAD OF FIX THE PROBLEM AS OF RIGHT NOW IS THAT EXECUTIVE ACTION ON THE BORDER ,ON THE TABLE. DO WE SEE THAT THAT DOES NOT ABSOLVE THE FACT THAT THE REAL

FIX IS GOING TO BE WHEN CONGRESS ACTS. SO ON THE TABLE, THOUGH, YET FOR CONSIDERATION, I DO WANT TO ASK YOU ALSO ABOUT TICK TOCK. WE KNOW THAT BILL CLEARED THE HOUSE. YOU HAVE EXPRESSED NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS OVER TIKTOK. SO HAS THE PRESIDENT. WHY DOES YOUR CAMPAIGN THEN

HAVE A TIKTOK ACCOUNT? WE’RE ENCOURAGING AMERICANS TO FOLLOW IT. >> SO LET’S START WITH THIS. WE DO NOT INTEND TO BAN TIKTOK. >> THAT IS NOT AT ALL THE GOAL OR THE PURPOSE OF THIS CONVERSATION. WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THE OWNER. AND WE HAVE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS ABOUT THE OWNER

OF TICK TOCK. BUT WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO BAN TIKTOK. IN FACT, WHAT IT SERVES IN TERMS OF IT’S AN INCOME GENERATOR FOR MANY PEOPLE. >> AND WHAT IT DOES IN TERMS OF ALLOWING PEOPLE TO SHARE INFORMATION IN A FREE WAY, IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO HAVE DISCOURSE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

BUT WE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF THE OWNER OF TICK TOCK, AND THAT HAS BEEN OUR POSITION IN TERMS OF WHAT I THINK WE NEED TO DO TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS. THE BAN COULD HAPPEN IF ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY DOES NOT SELL THE APP. SHOULD YOUR CAMPAIGN STAY

ON TICK TOCK WITH THOSE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS THAT YOU’RE VOICING? WELL, WE’LL ADDRESS THAT WHEN WE COME TO IT. BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE OWNER OF TICK TOCK AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS. WE DO NOT INTEND TO BAN TIKTOK AND WE UNDERSTAND ITS PURPOSE AND ITS UTILITY AND THE

ENJOYMENT THAT IT GIVES A LOT OF FOLKS. SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT, THANKS FOR THAT INTERVIEW. UP, GAS PRICES ARE ON THE RISE. >> WHY EXPERTS ARE WARNING THEY WON’T BE DROPPING ANYTIME SOON. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HEARING A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE

THIS IS “START HERE”. TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET’S GET INTO IT LISTEN TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR EDWARD R MERLE AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT

A NEWS PODCAST WORTH TO START HERE. ABC NEWS WE GIVE YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. WHEREVER GET YOUR PODCASTS START HERE WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS. A NEW YORK APPEALS COURT HAS RULED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN POST BOND IN A LOWER AMOUNT

THAN THE $464 MILLION ORIGINALLY IMPOSED IN HIS NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL. THE DECISION COMES AS TRUMP FACES A DEADLINE TODAY TO SECURE THE BOND THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN START SEIZING HIS PROPERTIES. >> LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI FOR MORE.

JOHN HOW BIG OF A WIN IS THIS FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP? >> SEISMIC, DIANE. SO JUST TO BOIL IT DOWN FOR OUR VIEWERS, THIS WAS THE DAY THIS WAS DEADLINE DAY FOR DONALD. HIS TEAM HAD GIVEN UP ON ALL OPTIONS. AS WE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, TRUMP AND HIS ATTORNEYS WENT

TO THREE DIFFERENT 30 DIFFERENT BONDING COMPANIES TO SECURE THE BOND FOR $464 MILLION. AND THEY COULDN’T GET IT FROM ANYBODY HE. ONE SOURCE SAID TO ME, WE ARE HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT THE COURT OF APPEALS STEP IN. HOPE WAS GRANTED IN JUST THE LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT FROM

464, THE NUMBER GOES DOWN TO $175 MILLION IN THIS ORDER THAT WAS JUST RELEASED BY, THE FIRST DEPARTMENT FOR APPEALS HERE IN NEW YORK. IT MEANS THAT DONALD TRUMP COULD A LOWER BOND. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL BECAUSE IN ALL COURTS YOU GET TWO ROUNDS.

SO SHE COULD APPEAL TO THE HIGHEST COURT IN NEW YORK, WHICH IS THE STATE COURT OF APPEALS, SAYING IT SHOULD BE THE BIGGER NUMBER. BUT REGARDLESS, AS ONE SOURCE JUST SAID TO ME, WE GOT EVERYTHING WANTED. THEY ARE VERY SURPRISED BY THIS RULING AND VERY GRATEFUL FOR IT .

>> SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW AND WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HIS ABILITY TO SECURE THIS LAW? >> WELL, AGAIN, THE BIG NUMBER WAS THE PROBLEM. YOU COMPARE THE OTHER CASES AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. REMEMBER, HE DID SECURE A BOND OF JUST UNDER $100 MILLION IN THE E. JEAN CARROLL CASE.

SO THIS IS A LITTLE MORE BALL, BUT NEVERTHELESS, STILL A PROCESS. THEY’LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOURCES. I’VE SPOKEN TO IN JUST THE LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES, FEEL CONFIDENT THEY’LL BE ABLE TO THAT BOND. BUT I DO THINK THE BIG PICTURE OF ALL OF THIS RIGHT IS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS OBVIOUSLY

DEALING WITH MULTIPLE CASES. RIGHT. THE DELAYS, THE JUDGMENTS, ETC., THE FACT THAT THE COURT OF APPEALS HERE STEPPED IN LITERALLY ON DEADLINE DAY, GAVE HIM A LIFELINE. I JUST THINK THAT CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED. AND WHAT A DRAMATIC SHIFT THIS STORY HAS NOW TAKEN BECAUSE REMEMBER, THEY HAD GIVEN UP ALL OPTIONS.

WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THAT ANY MOMENT ATTORNEY GENERAL COULD START SEIZING ASSETS BASED ON THIS RULING, TEAM TRUMP MOVES QUICKLY ENOUGH TO SECURE THE BOND THEY AVOID THAT. NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES, DOES THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAY, ALL RIGHT, FINE, OR DOES SHE APPEAL NOW TO THE COURT OF APPEALS?

THAT’S ALL GOING TO PLAY OUT. >> WE’LL BE WATCHING THAT CLOSELY. EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI. THANKS, JOHN. >> WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH SUE . AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE.

ON THE DAY’S TOP. START HERE. THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING IN YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, I AM GOING TO SAY THAT WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS. A NEW YORK APPEALS COURT HAS RULED FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN POST A SMALLER BOND AND THE

FALL HUNDRED AND $64 MILLION ORIGINALLY IMPOSED IN HIS NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL. THE DECISION COMES AS TRUMP FACES A DEADLINE TODAY TO SECURE BOND OR THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN START SEIZING HIS PROPERTIES. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI, SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT,

AARON KATERSKY ABC NEWS, LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND ABBY NEWS, ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR CHRIS TIMMONS FOR. >> MORE. JOHN, HOW BIG OF A WIN IS THIS FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP? WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS? HOW CAN HE SECURE THIS SMALLER BOND OR CAN THE AG

START SEIZING PROPERTIES? >> IT IS A SEISMIC WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE THE REALITY HERE, DIANE, THIS WAS HIS ONLY TO AVOID HAVING ANY OF HIS ASSETS SEIZE. YOU SAW EARLY MORNING DONALD TRUMP LITERALLY BLASTING LETITIA JAMES, THE ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAYING THEY WERE TRYING TO TAKE HIS BABIES AWAY BASED

OFF OF THIS RULING. IT MEANS DONALD TRUMP FOR THE MOMENT MIGHT, BE SAFE, MAY NOT HAVE TO TURN OVER ANY OF THOSE ASSETS. SO WHAT HAPPENED HERE? THE ORIGINAL JUDGMENT, 464 MILLION. THE FIRST APARTMENT COURT OF APPEALS, JUST TO GIVE THAT TO EVERYBODY WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND NEW YORK’S COURTS,

WHEN YOU HAVE A CASE THAT YOU WANT TO APPEAL, THAT’S THE FIRST LEVEL YOU GO TO TO GO TO AN APPEALS COURT HERE IN THE CITY. THEY RULED THAT IT NOW GOES TO $175 MILLION TO TRUMP HAS TIME TO PUT THAT UP. I’VE A COUPLE OF SOURCES CLOSE

TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT THE LAST FEW MINUTES. THEY ARE ECSTATIC SAYING THIS IS EVERYTHING THEY WANTED BECAUSE REMEMBER, THEY WENT TO 30 DIFFERENT BOND COMPANIES TO GIVE UP AND BASICALLY SOME SORT OF A BOND RULING AT SOME SORT OF A BOND TO THE COURTS THAT ULTIMATELY DID NOT HAPPEN.

THEY WERE REJECTED BY ALL PARTIES. THIS WAS IT. NOW, THE BECOMES CAN HE SECURE THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY? THAT IS SOMETHING, DIANE, GOING TO NEED TO SEE IN THE COMING DAYS. BUT I CAN TELL YOU ALREADY SPEAKING COUPLE OF SOURCES, TEAM TRUMP IS GOING TO MOVE VERY QUICKLY TO SECURE

THAT MONEY AND WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, BECAUSE THE OTHER PART OF THIS RULING BY THE APPELLATE DIVISION HERE IN NEW YORK, THEY GIVING THE A.G. TEN DAYS TO APPEAL, HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY DO. AND I KNOW AARON KATERSKY WAS INSIDE THE COURTROOM FOR

THE OTHER CASE THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DEALING WITH TODAY, THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL. ERIN WHAT’S THE LATEST HAPPENING THERE? THE JUDGE SO FAR SEEMS SKEPTICAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT ARGUMENT THAT THIS CASE SHOULD BE DELAYED OR DISMISSED BECAUSE OF A DISPUTE OVER POTENTIAL EVIDENCE. THE JUDGE HAS HAD SOME PRETTY

HARSH WORDS FOR TRUMP’S DEFENSE ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHE, AS HE’S BEEN THAT THE THE PROSECUTORS, THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE COMMITTED MISCONDUCT IN WITHHELD EVIDENCE AND JUDGE REALLY LAID INTO THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY OVER BEING ABLE TO CITE ANY LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR FOR BRINGING THOSE ACCUSATIONS. YOU DON’T HAVE A CASE THAT YOU

DON’T HAVE A CASE. RIGHT NOW IS REALLY DISCONCERTING, THE JUDGE SAID, BECAUSE THE ALLEGATION THE DEFENSE MAKES ABOUT THE PEOPLE’S MISCONDUCT IS INCREDIBLY AND THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHE, STOOD THERE. COULD CITE ANY LEGAL AUTHORITY ON WHICH TO BASE HIS CLAIM THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE SHOULD HAVE TURNED OVER

EVIDENCE THAT IT DID NOT. THE JUDGE HAS TAKEN A BIT OF A BREAK IN THE HEARING. WE EXPECT HIM PERHAPS TO RULE WHETHER THERE WILL BE ANY FURTHER DELAY IN THIS CRIMINAL TRIAL ONCE THAT COURT HEARING RESUMES. >> CHRIS, THESE ARE JUST TWO OF SEVERAL TRIALS THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DEALING WITH.

HIS TEAM HAS TRIED TO DELAY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. AND HE’S DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB AT THAT. SO WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN TERMS OF THAT TIMELINE AND HOW WHAT’S HAPPENING CHANGES THAT? >> SO A DAY IN BASICALLY WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO DO IS FIGURE OUT WHO GOES FIRST.

>> YOU KNOW, IS IT GOING TO BE THE THE NEW YORK TRIALS ARE GOING TO BE HERE IN GEORGIA? IS IT GOING TO BE FLORIDA OR IS IT GOING TO BE IN D.C.? AND SO WHAT THE TRUMP TEAM IS TRYING TO DO TO PUT EVERYTHING OFF UNTIL WE GET TO

THE ELECTION WHERE THINGS GET A LITTLE MURKIER AS WHETHER HE CAN STILL CONTINUE TO STAND TRIAL IF HE BECOMES ELECTED TO THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES. AND SO DELAY FAVORS THEM SIGNIFICANTLY. ALSO, JOHN STANTON, YOU CAN TELL YOU THERE ARE A NUMBER INDEPENDENT VOTERS OUT THERE WHO HAVE INDICATED THAT IF

THE PRESIDENT IS CONVICTED OF A FELONY AND THESE ARE FELONY CHARGES THAT HE’S FACING AND EACH OF THE FOUR DIFFERENT TRIALS, IF HE’S CONVICTED OF A FELONY, THEY’RE JUST NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM. AND SO THAT COULD SWING THE ELECTION IN AND OF ITSELF. AND SO, AS JOHN SAID SEVERAL

TIMES, DELAY FAVORS THE DEFENSE DELAY FAVORS THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BRIAN TRUMP NOW HAS, I THINK, TEN DAYS TO SECURE THIS BOND. SO WHAT NEXT? >> WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS HERE? I THINK THE NEXT STEPS ARE THAT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM BETTER SECURE THAT BOND IMMEDIATELY.

THIS SHOULDN’T BE SOMETHING WAITING ON, BECAUSE I THINK ATTORNEY A.G. JAMES LOOKING AT THIS AND SAY, OKAY, I’M GOING TO WAIT TEN DAYS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS MOVEMENT, THEN THEY WON’T GO ABOUT THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO SECURE ASSETS WHETHER THE BANK ACCOUNTS, THE NEW BUILDINGS, BECAUSE IF THEY CAN

SECURE BOND, AS THEY’VE SAID, 464 MILLION IS TOO MUCH. NOW THEY WANT TO PAY ABOUT 38% OF THAT AT 175 MILLION. WE WOULD ASSUME THAT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM CAN PAY THIS. BUT IF THEY CAN, I THINK THE A.G. JAMES IS GOING TO BE WAITING AT THE DOORSTEPS OF TRUMP TOWER, METAPHORICALLY,

AND OTHER PROPERTIES TO TRY TO SEIZE THOSE AND OTHER ASSETS. IF NOT, I THINK DONALD TRUMP A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HERE. AS JOHN SANTUCCI SAID, THEY’RE PROBABLY CELEBRATING AND THEN TO MOVE QUICKLY TO SECURE THAT BOND SO THAT NOT LOOKING AT THE APPEAL, BUT THAT THEY CAN DELAY THE THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE JUDGMENT

WHILE THEY DO THE APPEAL. >> AND OUR NEXT STEPS IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE. WELL, THE COURT IS GOING TO RESUME A HALF AN HOUR FROM NOW, DIANE, AND WE’LL SEE IF THE JUDGE IS PREPARED TO, MAKE ANY RULINGS ON WHEN THIS CASE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO GET TO TRIAL.

RIGHT NOW, IT IS THE ONLY ONE OF FOUR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION THAT TRUMP FACES THAT SEEMS READY FOR A TRIAL ANY TIME SOON AND MAY WELL BE THE ONLY ONE THAT GOES TO TRIAL BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. SO A LOT IS RIDING ON WHAT JUDGE MERSHON IS GOING TO DECIDE, BUT IT SEEMS SO

FAR ANYWAY, THAT HE IS DISINCLINED TO GRANT TRUMP THE RELEASE. HE’S SEEKING TO DISMISS THE INDICTMENT BASED ON ANY KIND ALLEGED PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT. >> ALL RIGHT. BRIAN BUCKMIRE AARON KATERSKY JOHN SANTUCCI, CHRIS TIMMINS, THANK YOU ALL. NOW WE HAVE SOME BREAKING. BOEING PRESIDENT AND CEO DAVE CALHOUN HAS ANNOUNCED

HE’S PLANNING TO STEP DOWN AT THE END OF THE YEAR. CALHOUN SAYS HE’LL REMAIN ON THE BOARD THE YEAR IN HOPES OF STABILIZING THE COMPANY AFTER A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS. CONCERNS AROUND SAFETY. IN A LETTER TO EMPLOYEES, CALHOUN CALLED ALASKA AIRLINES JAW PLUG INCIDENT A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR BOEING.

CALHOUN WENT ON TO SAY, QUOTE, IT HAS BEEN THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE OF MY LIFE TO. SERVE BOEING AND THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE ON US. AND I KNOW THAT WE WILL COME THROUGH THIS MOMENT A BETTER COMPANY. NEW SURVEILLANCE APPEARS TO SHOW HOW A MAN GOT ON A

FLIGHT IN SALT LAKE CITY WITHOUT A TICKET. AUTHORITIES SAY THE PASSENGER WAS ON STANDBY FOR A SOUTHWEST FLIGHT, BUT THE PLANE WAS FULL. SO HE MOVED OVER TO DELTA AND APPARENTLY SNAPPED PHOTOS OF OTHER PEOPLE’S BOARDING PASSES USING ONE OF THOSE PHOTOS TO THEN GET ON THE PLANE. TREVOR AULT MORE.

>> ABC NEWS HAS OBTAINED SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE OF THE MAN ACCUSED OF SNEAKING ONTO A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT A TICKET . THE MAN IN A GREEN SWEATER IS WYCLIFFE FOR HIS PART, AFTER TALKING AND LAUGHING WITH FELLOW PASSENGERS. HE APPEARS TO SNAP A PHOTO OF THAT MAN’S BOARDING PASS. THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT SAYS

HE DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, MULTIPLE PEOPLE. AND WATCH AS HE THEN SCANS HIS PHONE TO GET ON BOARD. >> DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE TRAVELING MUCH, BUT IT’S NOT INFALLIBLE. IN THIS CASE, WE SEE THAT A SIMPLE QR CODE COULD BE PHOTOGRAPHED FROM A PAPER COPY AND USED TO BOARD AN AIRPLANE.

>> ACCORDING TO THE AFFIDAVIT, WHEN ANOTHER PASSENGER SCANNING HER TICKET, THE SYSTEM SAID SHE’D ALREADY BOARDED FLORES ART ALLEGEDLY WAITED IN THE AIRPLANE BATHROOM, EXITING. THEY BEGAN TO TAXI. WHEN QUESTIONED BY A FLIGHT ATTENDANT, HE TOLD HER HIS NAME AND A SEAT NUMBER, WHICH WASN’T IN THE SYSTEM, WASN’T BOOKED

ON ANY OTHER FLIGHTS. THE PLANE THEN HEADING BACK TO THE GATE WHERE FLORES ART WAS ARRESTED, NOW CHARGED WITH FELONY STOWAWAY. >> THIS GUY WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED IF WE HADN’T BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF SPRING BREAK WHERE ALMOST EVERY AIRPLANE SEAT IS SOLD OUT. IF HE WALKED THE BACK AND HE’D

SEEN AN OPEN SEAT, HE COULD HAVE JUST GONE AND SAT DOWN. >> NOBODY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WISER. IN A STATEMENT, DELTA SAYS, IT’S COOPERATING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. ACCORDING TO THIS CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, FLORES HOUR TOLD OFFICIALS HE MADE A MISTAKE AND HE JUST WANTED TO GET HOME .

>> DIANE TREVOR AULT, THANK YOU. AND FOR SUSPECTS ARE FACING TERRORISM CHARGES AFTER A DEADLY TERRORIST ATTACK ON A CONCERT MOSCOW. ISIS IS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRIDAY’S ATTACK IN THE CONCERT HALL THAT KILLED AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE. AND INJURED 182. NOW WE’RE LEARNING THE U.S. HAD SHARED INFORMATION ABOUT A

POSSIBLE ATTACK WITH RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES. BUT A RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT, THE INFO WAS NOT CONCRETE. CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA HAS THE LATEST. >> THE HORRIFIC TOLL OF THE MASS SHOOTING EVIDENT AT THE SMOLDERING SCENE OF, RUSSIA’S DEADLIEST ATTACK IN DECADES. MORE THAN 133 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED. HUNDREDS MORE INJURED.

IT WAS FRIDAY EVENING IN MOSCOW WHEN FOUR ISIS-K TERRORISTS ARMED WITH AUTOMATIC SHOT THEIR WAY INTO A CONCERT HALL AT A SHOPPING. THE AUDIENCE INSIDE WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE ROCK TO BEGIN WHEN GUNFIRE RIPPED THROUGH THE FLOOR. ALL THE WHILE, HEARING THE RELENTLESS TERROR BURSTS OF AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRE.

AN EYEWITNESS SAYING THE MEN FIRED DIRECTLY INTO THE CROWD FACE TO FACE. ANOTHER WITNESS SAYING WHEN THE SHOOTING WAS OVER, THE ISIS-K GUNMAN HURLED EXPLOSIVES AS THEY FLED. WITHIN MINUTES, BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES POURING FROM THE FACILITY, TRAPPING INSIDE. AND CAVING IN THE ROOF. RUSSIA SAYING THEY CAPTURED

AND CHARGED THESE MEN WITH THE SHOOTING. ONE CLEARLY BLOODIED AND BEATEN WITH REPORTS OF TORTURE. WELL. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN CLAIMING WITHOUT EVIDENCE THAT THE MEN WERE HEADED TO UKRAINE. HE NEVER MENTIONED ISIS-K, DESPITE ITS CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY. THE U.S. CONFIRMING THE ATTACK WAS CARRIED OUT BY THE ISLAMIC

EXTREMISTS AS WELL. >> WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAY THEY HAD WARNED THE RUSSIANS OF AN IMMINENT RISK OF A ISIS-K . JUST WEEKS AGO, AN ATTACK THEY SAID, COULD TARGET A CONCERT HALL INSTEAD OF, HEEDING THE WARNING. PUTIN SAID THE U.S. WAS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL RUSSIA. >> THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT

ONLY PASSED TO THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, IT WAS MADE PUBLIC AS WELL. ISIS-K IS BASED IN AFGHAN AND IS SEEKING REVENGE AGAINST RUSSIA FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE WAR IN AND ELSEWHERE. ALSO THIS MORNING, IN THE WAKE OF THIS ATTACK, FRANCE HAS RAISED ITS NATIONAL SECURITY ALERT SYSTEM TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL.

STORM WHERE WE SAW GARDEN CITY, KANSAS, WITH ONE OF THE FIVE REPORTED TORNADOES THAT CIRCULATED, TOSSING THE DEBRIS OVER HIGHWAY 83. AND IN PARIS, IN TEXAS, WHERE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, THEY HAD AN EF3 THAT HIT AT LEAST 200 STRUCTURES WILL NOW, THE HOSPITAL HAD DAMAGE FROM A TORNADO JUST YESTERDAY.

THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO GET OUT AND DO THE SURVEY TODAY, BUT THEY’LL ALSO BE FIGHTING THE SNOW BECAUSE THERE’S SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS. HOWEVER, IT IS THE FRONT SIDE WHERE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT TORNADOES. AGAIN, ROLLING FORT JACKSON ARE ALL TONIGHT AT 7 P.M. LOOKING LIKE THEY’RE ERUPTING

AND HAIL TO ALSO BE IN THERE AND FLASH FLOODING THEN TOLD YOU THERE IS A SNOWY SIDE OF THIS IOWA AND WE SAW THE GET OUT AND THE ROADS, A LOT OF ROADS, EVEN BACK TO PARTS OF NEBRASKA THAT WERE CLOSED OVERNIGHT. >> SNOW TOTALS SO FAR IN ONE OF

THE BIGGER SYSTEMS THAT MINNEAPOLIS CERTAINLY HAS SEEN. THEY’VE HAD THEIR BIGGEST ONE DAY SNOW TOTAL OF AT LEAST EIGHT INCHES. AND THESE ARE SO FAR BECAUSE THE STORM’S NOT QUITE DONE YET IN WISCONSIN, UP TO A FOOT. BUT LOOK AT THE WINTER WARNINGS FROM RHINELANDER BACK TO DALLAS AND THE BLIZZARD WARNINGS FROM

CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO, UP TO WINDSOR, SOUTH DAKOTA. THOSE ARE FROM GUSTS UPWARDS OF 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY THE DRIFTS. >> DIANE.

A TORNADO DEVASTATED THE AREA. JAMES HAS FOLLOWED THEIR JOURNEY OF RECOVERY AND REBUILDING AND NOW THEY’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REOPENING OF TRACY HARDIN’S BELOVED HOMETOWN. >> TAKE A LOOK AT THE PEOPLE OF ROLLING FORK, MISSISSIPPI, STILL FEELING THE IMPACT AFTER A DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO TORE THROUGH THEIR SMALL TOWN ONE

YEAR AGO. IN THE AFTERMATH, 15 LIVES LOST, HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES DISPLACED, BUILDINGS, TRUCKS, DAIRY, BARN TAKING A DIRECT HIT ,OWNER TRACY HARDIN, SAFELY SHELTERING HER STAFF. >> HER RESTAURANT’S COOLER. NOT WHOLE LOT WAS SAVED, BUT OUR LIVES IN THE RECOVERY. TRACY A SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND, COMFORT, PROVIDING DONATED

MEALS TO THOSE IN NEED. WE’RE FEEDING 500 PEOPLE A DAY AND THEY’RE GETTING A CALM AND NOT JUST EAT, BUT THEY’RE GETTING LOVED DINING AND CARED FOR. A GOOD GIRL IN THE COMMUNITY. WELL, THAT WAS GOING ON RIGHT THERE WITH HER. >> SHE’S ONE OF US. TRACY, LIKE MANY OTHERS, MAKING

A COMMITMENT TO RETURN LIKE A PACK OR DURING THE SUMMER. SHOCKS POP UP OPERATING ON LIMITED HOURS. BUT THE HEARTBREAK STILL EVIDENT. IT’S HARD, YOU KNOW, YOU PULL UP EVERY DAY TO WHAT USED TO BE AND YOU THINK FOR MOXIE. I’M YOU SHOULD BE FARTHER ALONG. IT HURTS THAT WE’RE NOT.

ROBIN ROBERTS, THANK YOU. AND NOW TO THE DISEASE AFFECTING ESTIMATED 10% OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD.

YOUR VERY OWN SAYS SHE KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND IT WAS AN INTENSE PAIN. BUT, SAYS DOCTOR AFTER DOCTOR DISMISSED HER ISSUES, MAKING HER FEEL LIKE SHE WAS LOSING MIND. BUT AFTER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND YEARS OF SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS, SHE FINALLY GOT HER DIAGNOSIS. EVA PILGRIM HAS MORE ON THIS

ENDOMETRIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH. >> FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, KELSEY BARBERIE BATTLED AN ARRAY OF UNCOMFORTABLE SYMPTOMS THAT LEFT HER FEELING UNWELL MOST OF THE TIME. STOMACH PROBLEMS BEEN ON ANOTHER LEVEL FOR ME. >> I SPENT THE WHOLE DAY WITH A HEATING PAD ON MY STOMACH AND IT’S JUST PUFFY AND THE

BLOATING SO BAD THAT I LOOKED LIKE I WAS SERIOUSLY, LIKE SIX MONTHS PREGNANT. PRETTY ALL THE TIME. >> THE 28 YEAR OLD SAYS SHE OFTEN HAD HEAVY PERIODS, FLUCTUATIONS AND DEBILITATING PAIN. SHE SOUGHT MEDICAL, BUT IT PROVED TO BE A CHALLENGE. >> IT’S SHOCKING HOW HARD IT

IS TO FIND DOCTORS THAT REALLY LISTEN TO YOU. >> DOCTORS SUGGESTING. HER SYMPTOMS WERE LIKELY THE RESULT OF HER CELIAC DISEASE OR GLUTEN RELATED. I SAW SEVEN DIFFERENT GYNECOLOGISTS. I WAS JUST FEELING SO DESPERATE LIKE I WOULD LEAVE DOCTOR’S OFFICES IN TEARS OFTEN THAN I WOULDN’T.

AND IT JUST FELT LIKE TIME AND TIME AGAIN I WAS. >> AND THAT WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. THAT FRUSTRATION IN FORCING KELSEY TO BE HER OWN ADVOCATE, SEEKING OUT ONE FINAL OPINION TO FINALLY GET THE DIAGNOSIS SHE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR STAGE TWO ENDOMETRIOSIS. >> TO KNOW THAT I HAD A CHANCE

OF NOT BEING IN AS MUCH PAIN AND FEELING LIKE MY FEELINGS WERE VALIDATED. THAT WAS SO MAJOR FOR ME. >> ENDOMETRIOSIS IS A DISEASE IN WHICH TISSUE SIMILAR TO, THE LINING OF THE UTERUS GROWS OUTSIDE THE UTERUS. THE CONDITION SEVERE PAIN DURING PERIODS. NAUSEA OR BLOATING, FATIGUE AND DEPRESSION, AMONG OTHER SYMPTOMS.

IT IMPACTS ROUGHLY 10% OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN AND GIRLS GLOBALLY. >> PATIENTS WILL COME TO SEE ME AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEIR PAIN HAS JUST BEEN DISMISSED. SOMETIMES REALLY DOES TAKE FINDING THE RIGHT DOCTOR AND RIGHT PROVIDER TO REALLY SIT DOWN, LISTEN TO THOSE SYMPTOMS AND REALLY IN THEIR PAIN

AND SAY, OKAY, WHAT CAN WE DO? >> WHAT’S THE NEXT IN GETTING ME DIAGNOSED AND FEELING BETTER? NOW, SIX MONTHS FOLLOWING SURGERY TO GET HER ENDOMETRIAL TISSUE REMOVED, THE BLOATING AND PAIN SHE’D BEEN EXPERIENCING IS GONE. >> MY BIGGEST ADVICE IS TO NEVER, EVER GIVE UP. IT IS STARK AND SERIOUS,

AND NOBODY SHOULD BE LIVING A LIFE IN PAIN OR DISCOMFORT JUST BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE A DIAGNOSIS. >> EVA PILGRIM. THANK YOU. KELSEY SAYS WHILE THE DIAGNOSIS MAY SEEM LIKE BAD NEWS FOR HER, IT WAS A HUGE RELIEF TO FINALLY KNOW. >> COMING UP, MEET THE 19 YEAR OLD MAKING FIGURE SKATING

>> BREAKING NEWS. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SPEAKING OUTSIDE AFTER AN APPEALS COURT RULED HE CAN POST A SMALLER BOND IN HIS NEW YORK FRAUD TRIAL. >> LET’S LISTEN. >> MUCH JUDGE ENGORON HAS DONE A TERRIBLE SERVICE, THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WHAT HE’S DONE THERE IS THIS PLACE. SHE’S ACTUALLY JUST RELEASED

A STATEMENT ON HIS THIS IS THE THING AND FROM HIS WORTHY ALL OF THE STATE AND WHAT HE’S DONE IS HEAD INTO SERVICE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AGAIN IN NEW YORK STATE. IS BEING BATTERED BY HIS DECISION. SO I GREATLY RESPECT THE DECISION OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION THAT I’VE SEEN

THE $175 MILLION IN CASH OR BONDS OF SECURITY OR WHATEVER IS NECESSARY VERY QUICKLY WITHIN THE TEN DAYS. AND I THINK THE APPELLATE DIVISION FOR ACTING QUICKLY. BUT JUDGE ENDORSED IS A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY. AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. >> YOU VERY MUCH FOR MY OPINION

ON THAT WAS FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEAKING OUTSIDE COURT. A NEW YORK APPEALS COURT RULED HE CAN POST A SMALLER BOND THAN THE $464 MILLION ORIGINALLY IMPOSED IN HIS NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL. A PANEL OF FIVE JUDGES IS NOW GIVING TRUMP’S TEAM TEN DAYS TO SECURE THAT BOND BEFORE

THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN START SEIZING HIS PROPERTIES. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL JOHN SANTUCCI ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR CHRIS TIMMONS. FOR MORE. JOHN, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT NEXT STEPS FOR TRUMP TO NOW TRY TO SECURE THIS SMALLER BOND?

>> WELL, LISTEN, THEY CAN GO BACK TO ANY ONE OF THE 30 BOND COMPANIES THAT TURNED THEM DOWN IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THE BIGGER NUMBER AND HI, NOW THE NUMBER IS A LITTLE LESS. CAN WE TALK AGAIN? AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM IS GOING TO DO HERE, DIANE.

LOOK, THE REALITY IS THAT IN ORDER TO BUILD A BOND PACKAGE, YOU NEED ONE OF TWO THINGS. YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CASH AND COLLATERAL, SOMETHING TO PUT UP. IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HE DID WITH THE E. JEAN CARROLL RULING, WHICH HE DEALT IN JUST THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID. LITTLE CASH LEVERAGE. ONE OF THE PROPERTIES. YOU WILL SEE A SIMILAR SCENARIO HAPPEN NOW THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS GOTTEN THIS NUMBER DOWN BY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT FOR 64 TO 1. 75 IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE AS SOURCE CLOSE TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAID TO ME WITHIN

JUST THE LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED BECAUSE THE REALITY IS THEY WERE WAITING TO SEE WHAT THIS COURT OF APPEALS WAS GOING TO DO. THEY HAD GIVEN UP ALL OPTIONS AS TO ANOTHER WAY TO PULL IN SOME CASH, AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER TODAY, THERE HAD

BEEN CONVERSATIONS AFTER HIS SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY TWEETS, SOCIAL NOW WENT PUBLIC ON NASDAQ. COULD HE LIQUIDATE ASSETS THERE TO GET SOME QUICK CASH? A REAL DIVIDE AMONGST ALLIES TO DONALD TRUMP, BOTH ON BOTH SIDES. YOU KNOW, HE DID THAT. IT WOULD BASICALLY TAKE TRUE AND BLOW IT UP BECAUSE WITHOUT

DONALD TRUMP, IT’S NOTHING. SO THIS REALLY WAS THEIR LAST HOPE. >> AND CLEARLY THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED ACROSS WHAT WENT THIS DECISION AND WHERE DOES IT LEAVE THE A.G. NOW ON THESE OF SEIZING TRUMP’S ASSETS? >> WELL, WHAT WENT INTO THE DECISION WAS TRUMP’S INABILITY TO RAISE THE FUNDS

TO GET THE BOND IN ORDER TO CONVINCE BOND COMPANIES TO GIVE THEM THE MONEY TO PUT UP THE $450 MILLION, WHICH WAS A TALL ORDER. AND SO WHERE WE GO FROM HERE IS OBVIOUSLY THE TRUMP JUST IS, AS DONALD TRUMP HAS, AS JOHN JUST MENTIONED HAS TO GO OUT

AND SECURE THOSE BONDS EITHER THROUGH MEANS OF CASH OR COLLATERAL OR FINDING A BONDING COMPANY TO GIVE IT TO THEM AFTER THAT. SO THEN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS TEN DAYS IN WHICH HE CAN APPEAL THE ORDER IF SHE WANTS TO. PROBABLY UNLIKELY, I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO SIT

BACK AND LOOK LIKE A DISPASSIONATE PUBLIC OFFICIAL. NOW, IF THEY DON’T COME UP WITH A BOND OR SHE APPEALS WITHIN THE TEN DAYS AND SHE’S SUCCESSFUL IN THAT APPEAL, THEN WE’RE BACK TO WHERE WE WERE TODAY, WHICH IS YOU’VE GOT THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING

TO SEIZE PROPERTIES, DIANE. >> SO, BRIAN, ASSUMING TRUMP CAN SECURE THIS LOWER BOND, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR AN APPEAL THEN? >> SO IF DONALD TRUMP CAN SECURE THIS BOND, THEN IT ALLOWS FOR THE STAY OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE JUDGMENT, MEANING THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, JAMES BE

GOING AFTER HIS BANK ACCOUNTS OR HIS PROPERTY, WHETHER THE REAL PROPERTY LIKE TRUMP TOWER OR PROPERTIES SUCH AS LIKE A TRUMP FORCE, ONE, FOR EXAMPLE, BUT IN TERMS OF THE APPEAL WOULD CONTINUE AS WHAT HE WOULD WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE MADE ERRORS HIS RULING, WHETHER

OR NOT IT WAS ALLOWING IN THE WRONG PIECE OF INFORMATION OR NOT ALLOWING INFORMATION THAT DONALD TRUMP AS AN ATTORNEY IS WERE ASKING FOR. WHETHER IT’S A MISTAKE OF LAW OR JUDGMENT WAS I THINK I’M GETTING TO THE BIGGEST APPELLATE ISSUE THAT DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO RAISE AND THEN

IT WILL GO FORWARD IF HE WINS, THE APPEAL THEN OVERTURNS. IF NOT, THEN WHETHER NOT HE PUTS UP THIS $175 MILLION TO HOLD OFF THE ENFORCEMENT, IF HE LOSES, THEN IT WILL COME TIME FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL JAMES TO START COLLECTING. AND BRIAN, DONALD TRUMP HAS SPOKEN NEGATIVELY THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS

ABOUT JUDGE ENGORON OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WE JUST HEARD HIM AGAIN THAT COURTROOM COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS JUDGE. DOES THIS RULING BY THE APPELLATE COURT REFLECT NEGATIVELY ON THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE. >> NO, I WON’T SAY THAT THIS IS A RULING THAT AFFECTS NEGATIVELY THE JUDGE BECAUSE

IT’S NOT BASED ON THE MERITS OR THE RULINGS OF OF THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE. IT’S MERELY AN EVALUATION OF THE AMOUNT THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS TO PAY. >> WITHOUT FURTHER EXPLANATION, I CAN ONLY GUESS AS TO WHAT THE REASONING WOULD BE. >> MY STRONGEST GUESS WOULD IT BE JUST THE AMOUNT ITSELF

IS SOMETHING THAT THIS INTERMEDIATE APPELLATE COURT YOU KNOW WHAT? IT’S A LOT, MAYBE TOO MUCH AND WILL REDUCE IT TO ABOUT BECAUSE HE DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE THE POWER OF ENFORCEMENT OVER THEIR HEAD WHILE THE APPEAL ISSUES BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY AN ISSUE FOR WHETHER OR NOT

YOU’RE A BILLIONAIRE OR YOU JUST HAVE A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, IT’S REALLY THE APPELLATE COURT. WHO OR THE COURT, IF THEY DECIDE TO, WHO WILL RULE ON THE JUDGMENT OF, THE JUDGE, THEY’LL HAVE A GREATER SAYING AS TO HIS RULINGS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY THINK THEY WERE

RIGHT OR WRONG. >> JOHN, WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM TRUMP’S INNER CIRCLE ABOUT THIS DECISION? I MEAN, ECSTATIC, AS ONE PERSON JUST SAID TO ME, YOU KNOW, IT’S A START. IT’S GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BECAUSE THE REALITY WAS 464 WAS NOT A NUMBER THEY WERE GOING TO HIT.

THEY WERE PREPARING FOR THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. AND LOOK, DONALD TRUMP, AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, DIANE SAID TO HIMSELF THIS MORNING, GOING AFTER MY BABIES, HE DIDN’T MEAN HIS FIVE CHILDREN. HE MEANT ONE OF HIS BUILDINGS, WHICH ARE HIS PRIZED POSSESSION. HE BRAGS ABOUT THEM, SHOWS THEM

OFF TO EVERYBODY, KIND OF WHEN YOU AND I TALK ABOUT OUR KIDS, THAT’S THE WAY HE TALKS HIS REAL ESTATE. SO JEALOUS TO EACH THEIR OWN, I SUPPOSE. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY WAS ANNOYING DONALD TRUMP TO HIS CORE AND REALLY IS THE FOUNDATION OF WHO DONALD TRUMP IS. RIGHT.

HE’S ONLY BEEN A POLITICIAN. FOR THE LAST NEARLY TEN YEARS, HE’S BEEN A BUSINESSMAN ENTIRE LIFE. THIS IS HOW DONALD TRUMP CATAPULTED HIMSELF INTO POLITICS WAS THROUGH THESE IMAGES, RIGHT? I’M REALLY RICH. HE WOULD SAY. I HAVE THESE AMAZING BUILDINGS. I HAVE THE MOST POPULAR ADDRESS. YOU’VE ONE ON FIFTH AVENUE.

AND THIS IS HOW DONALD TRUMP LEVERAGED THE CAMPAIGN TO VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN 2015 AND 16 WHEN HE DID WIN THAT FIRST RACE. SO OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ALL EXPECT WOULD BOTHER DONALD TRUMP. IT CERTAINLY HAS NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES, HOW QUICKLY WILL THEY MOVE 30 COMPANIES, TURN THEM DOWN?

I CAN ALREADY TELL YOU THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF QUICKLY SECURING THIS BOND. AND FRANKLY, TO MOVE ON. AND IN PART BECAUSE HE’S GOT A LOT OF OTHER CASES TO DEAL WITH. AND WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING TO SEE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE TODAY

THAT IS CRIMINAL CASE ONE OF FOUR THAT HE’S GOT AGAINST HIM RIGHT NOW. >> SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE CHRIS TRUMP IS IN COURT FOR A HEARING IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE AGAINST HIM. ALSO IN NEW YORK, THE JUDGE IN, THAT CASE APPEARED VISIBLY IRRITATED WHEN TRUMP’S ATTORNEY COULDN’T PROVIDE CASE

CITATION RELATED TO ALLEGATIONS HE’S MAKING A PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT. SO HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT AND WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT CASE GOING? >> WELL, SO IT’S NEVER A GOOD SIGN WHEN THE JUDGE IS ASKING TO CITE AUTHORITY AND YOU JUST DON’T HAVE ANY. I MEAN, THAT’S A REALLY BAD DAY

FOR AN ATTORNEY TO BE STANDING THERE, YOU KNOW, WITH YOUR HANDS OUT WITH NOTHING TO GIVE COURT WHEN IT COMES TO AUTHORITY THAT THEY CAN FOLLOW. SO I WHAT HAPPENS FROM HERE IS THE JUDGE HAS GOT TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THE CASE GOES FORWARD

AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL. I MEAN, THE DEFENSE WANTED HIM TO DISMISS THE CASE ON ALLEGED DISCOVERY VIOLATIONS, MEANING THAT THEY HADN’T TURNED OVER ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO TURN OVER. AND SO I THINK THE JUDGE IS PROBABLY NOT GOING MAKE A RULING TO DISMISS THE CASE.

THE NEXT RULING THAT THE JUDGE HAS TO MAKE IS OKAY, I KNOW WE’RE GOING FORWARD. HOW QUICKLY CAN WE GET THIS THING READY TO GO TO TRIAL? THINK THAT’S THE QUESTION THAT EVERYBODY IN THE UNITED STATES IS. MINE? IS ONE OF THESE CASES GOING TO TRIAL?

WHEN IS THE FIRST ONE GOING TO ROLL? AND IT LOOKS LIKE SO FAR, BASED ON HOW THIS HEARING IS GOING, AS IT’S GOING TO GO, AS THERE WON’T BE ANY FURTHER DELAYS AND WE’LL BE GOING TO TRIAL IN NEW YORK. DIANE BRIAN BUCKMIRE JOHN SANTUCCI CHRIS TIMMINS, THANK YOU. >> WE’RE ALSO FOLLOWING

BREAKING NEWS FROM BOEING. THE PRESIDENT CEO, DAVID CALHOUN, SAYS HE’S PLANNING TO STEP DOWN AT THE END OF THE YEAR. >> IT COMES AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS INVOLVING BOEING PLANES. I WANT TO BRING ABC’S TRANSPORTATION REPORTER SAM SWEENEY FOR MORE ON THIS. SAM, DOES THE SMOKE SIGNAL FOR THE FUTURE OF BOEING?

WELL, DIANE, THEY HAD TO CLEAN UP THIS COMPANY. >> AS WE KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN PRODUCTION ISSUES WITH FOR A YEARS. WE EXPECTED IT TO BE FIXED AFTER THOSE TWO CRASHES ON THE 737 MAX IN 2018. AND 19. BUT OF COURSE, THAT NOW INFAMOUS DOOR PLUG INCIDENT HAS REALLY UNRAVELED EVERYTHING

THAT THEY TRIED TO FIX. AND NOW DAVE CALHOUN IS TAKING THE. WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP LAST WEEK WHEN THE AIRLINES, THE CEOS OF THE MAJOR AIRLINES IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD DEMANDED A MEETING WITH BOEING AND ITS BOARD DID NOT WANT TO INCLUDE THE CEO THAT SIGNALED THEIR LACK

OF CONFIDENCE AND THEIR DESIRE FOR CHANGE, BECAUSE OVERALL, THESE CEOS WANT AIRPLANES. THEY WANT THEM RIGHT NOW, AND BOEING IS NOT DELIVERING. SO THIS IS A MAJOR BLOW. THIS IS THE BIGGEST SHAKEUP FOR BOEING IN ITS 108 YEAR HISTORY. SAM CALHOUN SAID ALASKA AIRLINES JAW PLUG INCIDENT WAS

A WATER SHED MOMENT FOR BOEING. WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT AND THE REST OF THIS LETTER HE SENT TO EMPLOYEES? LOOK, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING EXPERTS AND BOEING INSIDERS THAT BOEING WAS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE. THEY WANTED MORE PLANES. THEY WANTED TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND WERE

PUSHING PLANES OUT WHILE THERE WERE CORNERS BEING CUT. THIS A BIG MOMENT. >> WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED. THOSE DOOR PLUGS WERE ALLEGEDLY NOT CUT OR THE DOOR BOLTS WERE NOT PUT BACK ON. >> AND THEN THAT DOOR BLEW OUT BECAUSE OF THINGS THAT WERE BEING MISSED. AND THEY NOW NEED TO FOCUS

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY THAT TRAVELERS HAVE BEEN POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SHARING CONCERNS ABOUT FLYING ON BOEING PLANES LEGITIMATE. ARE THOSE CONCERNS? SHOULD WE BE WORRIED ABOUT FLYING BOEING? >> NO SAFETY ON PLANES REMAINS THE BEST THAT IT’S EVER BEEN. THERE HAS BEEN ONE PERSON WHO WAS KILLED ON U.S. AIRPLANE

CRASH SINCE 2009, AND THAT WAS THE WOMAN WHO WAS OUT OF THAT WINDOW ON THE SOUTHWEST PLANE BACK IN 18. JENNIFER REARDON. BUT OVERALL SAFETY, AVIATION REMAINS THE SAFEST FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. NOW, A NUMBER OF THESE ISSUES ARE MAKING HEADLINES, BUT AGAIN, THERE ARE REDUNDANCIES ON AIRCRAFT

THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE THERE TO KEEP ALL OF US SAFE AND WILL REMAIN SAFE AS LONG AS BOEING GETS ITS ACT TOGETHER. AND THE FAA, OF COURSE, KEEPS ITS OVERSIGHT IN OVERDRIVE. >> ALL RIGHT, SAM SWEENEY THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. AND FOUR SUSPECTS ARE FACING TERRORISM CHARGES AFTER

A DEADLY TERRORIST ATTACK ON CONCERT IN MOSCOW. ISIS IS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRIDAY’S ATTACK IN THE CONCERT HALL THAT KILLED AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE AND INJURED 182. NOW WE’RE LEARNING THE U.S. HAD SHARED INFORMATION ABOUT A POSSIBLE ATTACK WITH RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES. BUT A RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT SAYS THE INFO WAS NOT CONCRETE.

CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ HAS THE LATEST. >> THE HORRIFIC TOLL OF THE MASS SHOOTING EVIDENT AT THE SMOLDERING SCENE OF RUSSIA’S DEADLIEST ATTACK IN DECADES. MORE THAN 135 MEN, WOMEN. CHILDREN SLAUGHTERED. HUNDREDS MORE INJURED. IT WAS FRIDAY EVENING IN MOSCOW WHEN FOUR ISIS-K TERRORISTS ARMED WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS

SHOT THEIR WAY INTO A CONCERT AT A SHOPPING COMPLEX. THE AUDIENCE INSIDE WAS WAITING FOR THE ROCK BAND TO BEGIN. GUNFIRE RIPPED THROUGH THE. ALL THE WHILE HEARING THE RELENTLESS TERRIFYING BURST OF AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRE. >> AN EYEWITNESS SAYING THE MEN FIRED INTO THE CROWD FACE TO FACE.

ANOTHER WITNESS SAYING WHEN THE SHOOTING WAS OVER, THE ISIS-K HURLED EXPLOSIVES AS THEY FLED WITHIN MINUTES. BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES POURING FROM THE FACILITY, TRAPPING MANY INSIDE. AND CAVING IN THE ROOF. RUSSIA SAYING THEY CAPTURED AND CHARGED THESE MEN WITH THE SHOOTING. ONE CLEARLY BLOODIED AND BEATEN WITH REPORTS OF TORTURE

AS WELL. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN CLAIMING WITHOUT THAT THE MEN WERE HEADED TO UKRAINE. HE NEVER MENTIONED ISIS-K DESPITE ITS CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY, THE U.S. CONFIRMING THE ATTACK WAS CARRIED OUT BY THE ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS AS WELL. WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAYING THEY HAD WARNED THE RUSSIANS OF AN IMMINENT RISK OF AN

ISIS-K ATTACK JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. AN ATTACK THEY SAID COULD SPECIFICALLY A CONCERT HALL. INSTEAD OF HEEDING THE WARNING PUTIN SAID THE U.S. WAS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL RUSSIA. >> THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT ONLY PASSED TO THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. IT WAS MADE PUBLIC AS WELL. ISIS-K IS BASED IN AFGHANISTAN

AND IS SEEKING REVENGE AGAINST RUSSIA FOR ITS INVOLVEMENT IN THE WAR IN SYRIA AND ELSEWHERE. ALSO THIS MORNING IN THE WAKE OF THIS ATTACK, FRANCE HAS RAISED ITS NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL. DIANE CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT MARTHA RADDATZ, THANK YOU. AND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA SAYS THERE COULD BE CONSEQUENCES FOR

ISRAEL IF IT MOVES AHEAD WITH A PLANNED INVASION OF RAFAH. GAZA’S SOUTHERN CITY IS BELIEVED TO CURRENTLY HAVE ROUGHLY 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE IN IT. AND THE VICE PRESIDENT SAYS AN OFFENSIVE WOULD LEAVE PEOPLE WITH NOWHERE TO GO. THIS COMES AS THE U.N. COUNCIL JUST ADOPTED A RESOLUTION DEMANDING AN IMMEDIATE CEASE

IN GAZA FOR THE MONTH OF RAMADAN. OUR SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT SAT DOWN WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IN PARKLAND, FLORIDA, FOR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. >> LEADER SCHUMER WAS, VERY BLUNT IN HIS REMARKS ON THE SENATE FLOOR. HE CALLED NETANYAHU OBSTACLE TO PEACE. HE’S CALLING FOR NEW ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL.

THE PRESIDENT CALLED THAT A GOOD SPEECH. WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT? DOES THE ADMINISTRATION BELIEVE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE NEW ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL? I WILL NOT SPEAK FOR SENATOR SCHUMER, BUT WE ARE VERY THAT THAT IS ON THE ISRAELI PEOPLE TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT WHEN THEY WILL

HAVE AN ELECTION AND WHO, OF COURSE, THEY ELECT TO LEAD THEIR GOVERNMENT. THAT’S FOR THEM TO SAY. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT NETANYAHU IS AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE? I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE GOT TO CONTINUE TO ENFORCE WHAT WE KNOW TO BE AND SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY IN TERMS OF WHAT

IS HAPPENING IN GAZA. WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT FAR. TOO MANY INNOCENT PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT ISRAEL AND THE ISRAELI PEOPLE AND ARE ENTITLED TO AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF SECURITY AND DIGNITY. AND FRANKLY, WE HAVE BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON ALSO GETTING THE HOSTAGES OUT AND GETTING

AID IN. >> NETANYAHU APPEARS TO BE FLAT OUT IGNORING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S WARNING ABOUT AN OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH. IS THAT A RED LINE FOR YOU ADMINISTRATION? >> WE HAVE BEEN CLEAR IN MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS AND IN EVERY WAY THAT ANY MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH WOULD BE A HUGE. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I HAVE STUDIED THE MAPS. THERE’S NOWHERE FOR THOSE FOLKS TO GO. AND WE’RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PEOPLE IN RAFAH WHO ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD TO GO THERE, MOST OF THEM. AND SO WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO MOVE INTO RAFAH

WITH TYPE OF MILITARY OPERATION, A MISTAKE. BUT WOULD THERE BE CONSEQUENCES ? IF HE DOES MOVE FORWARD? WELL, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME. BUT WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR IN TERMS OF OUR PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN. >> ARE YOU RULING OUT THAT THERE WOULD

BE CONSEQUENCES FROM THE UNITED STATES? >> I AM RULING OUT NOTHING. I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE BORDER. >> DID YOU WATCH THAT VIDEO DOWN IN EL PASO? AND DOES THAT SEND A MESSAGE TO AMERICANS THAT THE BORDER IS SECURE? WE ARE VERY CLEAR. AND I THINK MOST AMERICANS ARE

CLEAR THAT. WE HAVE A BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM AND WE NEED TO FIX IT. MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE, THOSE CONSIDERED TO BE VERY CONSERVATIVE WHEN OTHERS CAME TO A BIPARTISAN RESOLUTION. BUT THERE REFUSING TO PUT IT UP FOR A VOTE AND IN LARGE PART, BECAUSE WE KNOW THE FORMER

PRESIDENT WOULD PREFER TO RUN ON A PROBLEM INSTEAD OF FIX THE PROBLEM AS OF RIGHT NOW, IS THAT EXECUTIVE ACTION ON THE BORDER STILL ON THE TABLE. BUT WE SEE THAT THAT NOT ABSOLVE THE FACT THAT THE REAL FIX IS GOING TO BE WHEN CONGRESS. SO ON THE TABLE DOWN DID FOR

CONSIDERATION. I DO WANT TO ASK YOU ALSO ABOUT TICK TOCK. WE KNOW THAT BILL CLEARED THE HOUSE. YOU HAVE EXPRESSED NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS OVER TIKTOK. SO HAS THE PRESIDENT. WHY DOES YOUR CAMPAIGN THEN HAVE A TIKTOK ACCOUNT? WE’RE ENCOURAGING AMERICANS TO FOLLOW IT. SO LET’S START WITH THIS. WE DO THAT.

INTEND TO BAN TIKTOK. THAT IS NOT AT ALL THE GOAL, THE PURPOSE OF THIS CONVERSATION. WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THE OWNER AND WE HAVE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS ABOUT THE OWNER OF TICK TOCK. BUT WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO BAN TIKTOK. IN FACT, WHAT IT SERVES IN TERMS OF AN INCOME GENERATOR

FOR MANY PEOPLE AND WHAT IT DOES IN TERMS OF ALLOWING PEOPLE TO INFORMATION IN A FREE WAY, IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO HAVE IS VERY IMPORTANT. BUT WE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF THE OWNER OF TICK TOCK, AND THAT HAS BEEN OUR POSITION IN TERMS OF WHAT

I THINK WE NEED TO DO TO ADDRESS CONCERNS. THE BAN COULD HAPPEN IF A CHINESE PARENT COMPANY DOES NOT SELL THE APP. SHOULD YOUR CAMPAIGN STAY ON TICK TOCK WITH THOSE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS THAT YOU’RE VOICING? WELL, WE’LL ADDRESS THAT WHEN WE COME TO IT. BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE CONCERNED

ABOUT THE OF TICK TOCK AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS. WE DO NOT INTEND TO BAN TOCK AND WE UNDERSTAND ITS PURPOSE AND ITS UTILITY AND ENJOYMENT THAT IT GIVES A LOT OF FOLKS. >> OUR THANKS TO SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT FOR THAT INTERVIEW. >> WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK BACK.

>> WHEN EVER NEWS BREAKS. WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR IN ROLLING FORK AS A TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS TOWN FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE. ABC NEWS LIVE EVERYONE IN ICELAND.

FORMER PRESIDENT IS SPEAKING OUTSIDE COURT AFTER A TRIAL DATE WAS SET IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE AGAINST HIM. >> LET’S LISTEN TO YOUR THIS

IS A CASE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO AND NOW THEY’RE FIGHTING OFF THE CASE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO TRY A NEW IT IN THE ELECTION. THIS IS ELECTION INTERFERENCE. IT’S ALL OF THIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE. AND THIS RACE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE APPEALED.

BUT THIS IS A PURE CASE OF VOTER INTIMIDATION, ELECTION INTERFERENCE, AND IT SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. >> THIS CASE HAS BEEN GROWING BY THE DAY, BUT THEY WANT TO BRING IT BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO CASE AND THEN THEY BRING IT ANYWHERE. AND, YOU KNOW, D.A. GREG DID

DON’T WANT TO BRING THIS CASE. >> HE WAS FORCED INTO IT BY OUTSIDE. AND IT’S A DISGRACE THAT THAT CAN HAPPEN. BUT THIS WAS A CASE THAT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED YEARS AGO AND THEY DECIDED TO WAIT NOW JUST DURING THE ELECTION SO THAT I WON’T ABLE TO CAMPAIGN.

WE’LL BE APPEALING THE OTHER DECISION. IT WILL BE MY HONOR TO POST AND WE’LL POST WHATEVER IS NECESSARY, WHETHER IT BE CASH OR SECURITIES OR BONDS. THE DECISION WE APPRECIATE AND RESPECT. THE APPELLATE DIVISION IS VERY MUCH, AND WE WILL. I THINK YOU VERY WELL AND I

HOPE THAT WE HAVE A JUDGE TO BELIEVE IS A CROOKED JUDGE AND A CROOKED ATTORNEY GENERAL. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. HE DID NOTHING WRONG AT ALL. 100%. AND THAT WAS PROVEN. AND EVERYBODY THERE SAID, I HAVE READ THE LEGAL SCHOLARS, AND YOU SEE IT WAS TRUE THAT. BUT WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT.

BUT WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH ,THE DECISION OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION. THANK YOU VERY. AND THEN TRUMP LEAVING COURT AND HUSH MONEY CASE AGAINST HIM AFTER THE JUDGE SET A TRIAL DATE OF APRIL 15TH FOR THAT TRIAL TO MOVE FORWARD. >> I TO BRING IN OUR EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER, JOHN SANTUCCI.

JOHN, WHAT’S YOUR REACTION HEARING PRESIDENT TRUMP THERE OUTSIDE THE COURT, CALLING THE JUDGE CORRUPT, CALLING THE A.G. CORRUPT, CALLING THE ATTORNEYS AGAINST THE PROSECUTORS IN THIS CASE CORRUPT AND CALLING THIS ALL ELECTION INTERFERENCE? >> I MEAN, AND JUST TO ADD, I MEAN, HE CALLED EVERYBODY CORRUPT. I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE

TO REMEMBER THERE ARE TWO JUDGES HE’S TALKING ABOUT TODAY. HE’S TALKING ABOUT JUDGE MERSHON. IS THE MANHATTAN CASES IN COURT FOR AND JUDGE ERYWAN, WHO WAS THE ONE THAT RULED OVER HIM ON THE CIVIL CASE INVOLVING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. SO JUST TO BREAK DOWN WHERE WE

ARE ON BOTH SO, AS I SAID TO YOU, ALL, FAIR WIN SOME, LOSE SOME. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT DONALD TRUMP’S DAY WAS LIKE TODAY ON THE LOSE SOME THINGS THAT JUST HAPPENED. DONALD NOW HAS TO SIT IN THIS COURTROOM STARTING ON APRIL 15TH FOR AT LEAST DIANE, SIX WEEKS.

AND I GOT TO STRESS THAT BECAUSE IT’S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE SAW OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, CIVIL CASES HE DON’T NEED TO BE THERE EVERY DAY FOR DONALD TRUMP CRIMINAL YOU DO SO DONALD TRUMP, WHO IS NO LONGER A NEW YORK RESIDENT, IS ABOUT TO BECOME A VISITING

NEW YORKER FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. HE NEEDS TO BE IN THERE EVERY DAY ONCE THIS TRIAL GETS STARTED, IT’S AT A MINIMUM SIX WEEKS. JURY SELECTION, BASED ON THE JUDGE’S RULING, WILL BEGIN ON APRIL 15. SO ONCE THEY HAVE A JURY OPENING STATEMENTS AND WE’RE TO THE RACES THERE.

SO THAT’S THE LOSER SIDE OF THE DAY. THE WINNING OF THE DAY IS WHAT HAPPENED IN THE COURT OF APPEALS IN NEW YORK, AND THAT IS ON NEW YORK CASE IN DONALD TRUMP’S FRAUD TRIAL THAT ENDED THIS YEAR. SO IN THAT ONE, DONALD TRUMP WAS FACING A VERY BIG DEADLINE TODAY, A $464

MILLION APPEALS COURT STEPPED IN AT THE FINAL HOURS AND SAID, OKAY, WE WILL GRANT YOUR WISH TO LOWER IT. IT’S NOW 175. SO DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM HAVE TEN DAYS TO SECURE A BOND THAT BE COLLATERAL, THAT COULD BE CASH, PUTTING UP A BUILDING WHATEVER WAY THEY WANT TO DO IT

,AS LONG AS THEY GET IT. THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS AT THIS POINT. AND THAT CASE WILL AWAY FOR NOW. NOW, OBVIOUSLY, IT’S STILL LOT OF MONEY, BUT FOR 64, DONALD TRUMP AND HIS LAWYERS SAID IN MULTIPLE FILINGS WAS AN INSURMOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY. THEY COULDN’T REACH 175, A LITTLE MORE DOABLE, BUT WE’LL

HAVE TO WAIT AND WHAT HAPPENS? >> SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN TERMS OF BOTH OF THESE CASES ? IF HE SECURES THE BOND, THEN HE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE APPEAL IN THAT CIVIL FRAUD CASE. AND NOW WITH THIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL, THEY HAVE THIS TRIAL DATE PENDING.

SO WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS? SO ONCE THEY GET THE BONDS, THEY’VE GOT TEN DAYS TO DO IT. THEN AS YOU JUST NOTED, THEY CAN GO FORWARD AND FILE THE APPEAL. BECAUSE LET’S ALSO BACK UP FOR A SECOND. RIGHT. THE APPEAL IS FOR SEVERAL THINGS, RIGHT? NUMBER ONE, THE FULL JUDGMENT,

WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR DONALD TRUMP. IT’S EVENTUALLY HAVE TO PAY THAT MONEY. LET’S BE CLEAR. THIS IS JUST THAT NOW, RIGHT, THAT EVENTUALLY WHAT HAPPENS. I HOPE THE PANEL DOESN’T CHANGE. COHEN DOESN’T MEAN IT GOES AWAY. IT JUST MEANS ACT ONE IS LESS MONEY. THE FULL SHOW IS STILL ON THE TABLE.

>> SO THAT’S PART ONE. PART TWO, THE RULING, IT CAME DOWN. REMEMBER, IT SAID DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TWO ELDEST SONS, DONALD TRUMP JR AND ERIC TRUMP, WHO ARE RUNNING THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION. AND RIGHT NOW ALL OF THEM CANNOT BE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. A COMPANY MEANING THOUGH THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION IS A

MASSIVE BUSINESS IT’S A FAMILY BUSINESS. SO IF THE RULING IS UPHELD, IT MEANS THAT TRUMP AND THE CHILDREN CANNOT RUN THE COMPANY. SOMEBODY ELSE HAVE TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE MASTHEAD. THE ONLY OTHER PERSON TO EVER BEEN UP THERE WITH HIS CHILDREN WAS HIS LONGTIME CFO ALLEN WEISSELBERG.

HE RETIRED, AND RIGHT NOW HE’S IN PRISON BECAUSE. HE LIED ON THE STAND DURING THE CIVIL CASE THAT WAS GOING ON. SO WHO WOULD STEP IN IS A QUESTION THAT HONESTLY, I DON’T THINK ANYBODY COULD ANSWER AT THIS POINT. SO THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEW YORK CASE.

ON THE MANHATTAN CASE, WE’RE OFF TO THE RACES. BASICALLY, DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM RESPONDING TO AN EFFORTS BY THE MANHATTAN D.A. TO DELAY 30 DAYS. THEY SAID WAIT A SECOND. THIS IS AN INSURMOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE. YOU’VE GOT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PAGES OF DOCUMENTS THAT WE JUST TURNED OVER FROM

THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. WE NEED AT LEAST 90 DAYS. JUDGE MERSHON WAS NOT BUYING IT, TELLING EVERYBODY WE’LL SEE IN 30 DAYS WHEN WE GET STARTED ON APRIL 15TH. AND THAT, THOUGH, IS WHERE THINGS GET A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BECAUSE SO FAR IT’S BEEN MONEY . THIS IS CRIMINAL. THIS IS DIFFERENT.

NOT TO SAY IT NECESSARILY MEANS JAIL TIMES, THESE ARE LOWER LEVEL FELONIES. BUT LET’S BE CLEAR, THESE ARE FELONIES. THIS IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS FACED. SO, DIANE, AND WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF TRUMP’S COMMENTS TODAY JUST NOW ON THE TIMING? THEY HAD THREE AND A HALF

YEARS TO BRING THIS. THIS IS RELATED TO A PAYMENT MADE BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. THEY’RE BRINGING IT NOW. AND NOW FIGHTING OVER DAYS, IN HIS WORDS, IN TERMS OF WHEN THIS TRIAL MOVED FORWARD. >> SO HALF RIGHT. I MEAN, SO AS FAR AS WHAT THIS IS BASED AROUND, HE IS

RIGHT THAT IT IS BASED AROUND PAYMENTS THAT WERE MADE TO STORMY DANIELS AND KAREN MCDOUGAL, TWO WOMEN. HE HAD AFFAIRS WITH DIFFERENT TYPES BUT STILL AFFAIRS NEVERTHELESS. LEADING UP TO THE 2016 ELECTION, DONALD TRUMP SAID HE DID IT TO NOT CAUSE EMBARRASSMENT TO HIM, HIS WIFE OR HIS FAMILY.

HOWEVER, THE TIMELINE OF IT THAT IT SO CLOSE TO THE ELECTION COULD BE SEEN AS ELECTION INTERFERENCE. TWO REASONS. ONE, BECAUSE AT THE TIME, AND TWO, MICHAEL COHEN, WHO MADE PAYMENTS, WAS PAID OUT THROUGH OTHER MEANS, RIGHT? IT WASN’T DISCLOSED WHAT THE PAYMENTS WERE FOR. ON THE IDEA OF THE D.A. NOT

BRINGING THE CASE RIGHT AWAY. PART OF THIS THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY INVESTIGATED BY FORMER MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY VANCE CY VANCE ENDED UP NOT BRINGING THE CASE. AND WHEN BRAD TOOK OFFICE BECAUSE HE WON THE BAN, DID NOT RUN RE ELECTION. BRAD KEPT THE CASE GOING, BUT THEN SLOWED IT AND SAID,

NOW I’M NOT GOING TO GO FORWARD RIGHT NOW. AND A COUPLE OF THE PROSECUTORS THAT WERE ON THIS CASE RESIGNED IN PROTEST AND NO CHARGES SHOULD BE BROUGHT EVENTUALLY. WHERE WE SPEED UP TO THIS LAST YEAR BY IRONY IS WHEN THE FIRST CRIMINAL INDICTMENT CAME AND IT WAS THIS CASE.

SO IT DID TAKE A LONG TO GET THERE, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE THINK ABOUT IT WAS AN ALLEGATION, AN ACTION THAT HAPPENED NEARLY TEN YEARS AGO IN 2016. BUT HERE WE ARE. ALL RIGHT, JOHN SANTUCCI, THANK YOU AS ALWAYS. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK. >> PRETTY SOON, MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE

FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS THE START HERE TO BE IN THE NEWS AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY, SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD AH MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT

A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. YOU START HERE. ABC NEWS NEEDED 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. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE, MORE AMERICANS HERE THAN ANY

OTHER NEWSCAST, BBC NEWS, WORLD NEWS WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL THE TELEVISION. I HAVE A POINT OF CONTACT. THEY’RE EXPECTING US. IT’S OUR SECRET WORLD WE HAVE. DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SAFE? I DON’T KNOW. >> THIS IS MY PLAN.

INSIDE OUT AND AS A SLICE OF HUMAN. BUT THESE ARE ASSASSINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE MURDERED. >> THERE’S REALLY NO TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO, SOME. IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. ANYWHERE. WOW. >> THE INTERNET CAN BE A SCARY PLACE. HE HAD MY NAME, MY SOCIAL

SECURITY NUMBER, MY ADDRESS MEANS, MY HUSBAND AND SON. >> BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW? WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GET MARRIED? I LOVED HIM. IT’S JUST BEEN CRAZY SCARY. YOU BOLDFACED LIED TO ME AND MADE UP A WHOLE STORY. >> DID ANYTHING? IS THIS PERSON ACTUALLY WHO THEY SAY THEY?

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN’T GET PLAYED, JUST WATCH THIS. HOW I GOT PLAY. THIS IS “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE” NOW STREAMING ON HULU. >> RIGHT NOW. THERE’S JUST SO MUCH HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD. SO MUCH AT STAKE AT THE START OF EVERY MORNING, MAKING SENSE OF IT ALL. THAT’S NOT ALWAYS EASY.

AND THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN. GOOD MORNING AMERICA. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW EVERY MORNING WE’RE RIGHT HERE AND WE GOT YOU FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THERE’S A LOT GOING ON YET. AVALANCHE WARNING, THAT’S OFF TO CATCH YOU UP WITH WHAT HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. A DANGEROUS ICE STORM IS IMPACTING THE MORNING

COMMUTE. WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? ESCALATING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT, THE MIGRANT CRISIS FAST, STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH SOMEONE IN BETWEEN IS BILLIONAIRES. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. THE MOVE STARTED CHASING A DOG. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AMERICA. THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS.

>> WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? WE ARE PART OF AN OPERATION COMBAT OPERATIONS CENTER. WE’RE APPROACHING THE GATE. MILITANTS CAME IN FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THEIR REACTORS RECEIVED A COUPLE LOADED AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED. LOOK, THE FLAG.

YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT MADE THE USA. GREAT WORK. HI, IT’S LYLE. >> DAVID. I’M DAVID. YOU ARE. YOU ARE YOU LIVE EVERY NIGHT. >> ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR IS AMERICA’S WATCHED NEWSCAST. I AM GOING TO SAY THAT WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

WILL STAND TRIAL IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE AGAINST HIM STARTING APRIL 15TH. >> TRUMP’S TEAM HAD TRIED TO FURTHER DELAY THAT TRIAL, ARGUING THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO REVIEW NEWLY RELEASED EVIDENCE. BUT THE JUDGE REJECTED THAT ARGUMENT. MEANWHILE, AN APPEALS COURT HAS RULED THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN POST

A SMALLER BOND THAN THE 464 MILLION ORIGINALLY IMPOSED IN HIS NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL. A PANEL OF FIVE JUDGES ARE NOW GIVING TRUMP’S TEN DAYS TO SECURE A BOND OF $175 MILLION BEFORE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN START SEIZING PROPERTIES. EARLIER, TRUMP THANKED THAT APPELLATE COURT AND SAID

HE WOULD ABIDE BY THEIR DECISION BUT GREATLY RESPECTED THE DECISION OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION. NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT $175 MILLION IN CASH OR WHATEVER SECURITY OR WHATEVER IS NECESSARY VERY QUICKLY WITHIN THE TEN DAYS. AND I THINK THE APPELLATE DIVISION, WE’RE ACTING QUICKLY, COMPLETELY THERE. THE RULING BY THE APPELLATE

COURT, LESS SO ON THE RULING IN THE HUSH CASE TODAY. LET’S BRING IN EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI ABC NEWS LIVE CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR CHRIS TIMMONS FOR MORE. JOHN, A LOT TO FOLLOW TODAY BECAUSE OF THESE TWO CASES HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.

BUT LET’S START WITH THE LATEST IS APRIL 15TH TRIAL DATE NOW IN THIS HUSH MONEY CASE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? TRUMP IT MEANS THAT DONALD TRUMP, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, IS GOING TO BE ON TRIAL UNDER CRIMINAL CHARGES. I MEAN, JUST THINK ABOUT IS NEARLY A YEAR TO THE DAY THIS

WEEK THAT THE FIRST CRIMINAL INDICTMENT WAS HANDED DOWN. AND NOW IN JUST A FEW WEEKS FROM THAT TIME, DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO BE SITTING IN THAT SAME MANHATTAN COURTROOM WHEN HE WAS ARRAIGNED AROUND EARLY APRIL LAST YEAR, DIANE, FOR THE START OF THE TRIAL IT MEANS FOR AT LEAST SIX WEEKS, DONALD

TRUMP IS GOING TO BE LIVING BACK NEW YORK. HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE AT COURT EVERY MORNING, STAY THE DAY, STAY UNTIL THE EVENING AND COME BACK AGAIN AND DO IT THE NEXT DAY. IT MEANS THAT HE WILL HAVE TO SIT THERE AS WITNESSES, INCLUDING STORMY DANIELS, MICHAEL COHEN, SOME FOLKS

THAT WERE AFFILIATED WITH, AM I DAVID, WHO EVENTUALLY WAS INVOLVED IN THE PAY TO PLAY CATCH AND KILL SCANDAL. THIS IS ALL AROUND ARE ALL GOING TO TESTIFY ABOUT IT. HE HAS TO LISTEN TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. THIS IS NOT LIKE WHAT WE’VE SEEN PREVIOUSLY THAT HE GETS AN

OPTION TO COME BACK OR NOT. DONALD TRUMP IS LITERALLY GOING HAVE TO BE THERE. THAT’S JUST SOMETHING AN IMAGE. YOU KNOW, I WISH CAMERAS WERE IN COURT IN NEW YORK. I WISH WE COULD SEE IT. SO THAT’S ONE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS. PART TWO, WE WERE ALL WAITING

TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERALS. THEY THIS WAS A DEADLINE. DONALD TRUMP HAVING TO PUT UP $464 MILLION. NOW WE KNOW THE COURT OF APPEALS HAS THROWN IN THE LIFELINE NOW DOWN TO $175 MILLION FOR BOND. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THE FULL

AMOUNT GOES AWAY. IT JUST MEANS FOR HERE AND NOW IT’S LESS MONEY. DONALD TRUMP HAS PUT UP. HE HAD A TOUGH TIME SECURING 464 MILLION. IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING FROM TALKING TO SOURCES CLOSE TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THEY THINK THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY MORE DOABLE. >> BRIAN IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE.

>> TRUMP’S TEAM TRIED TO ARGUE THAT THEY GOT THIS THIS NEW EVIDENCE OVER 100,000 PAGES OF DOCUMENTS PROVIDED TO THEM ONLY RECENTLY. AND THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO REVIEW IT. WHY DIDN’T THAT GO OVER WITH THE JUDGE AND WHY THE JUDGE SEEM SO HOSTILE AT TIMES TO WHAT TRUMP’S TEAM

WAS TRYING TO ARGUE IN TERMS OF PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT? >> YES, WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT PRE 2019 NEW YORK STATE HAD A WHAT WAS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE WORST DISCOVERY LAWS IN THE COUNTRY, 2019. IT WAS REVAMPED. AND THE WAY THAT IT WORKS IS THAT THE PROSECUTION TO TURN OVER ALL RELEVANT DISCOVERY OR

EVIDENCE THAT THEY INTEND TO USE AGAINST A DEFENDANT BEFORE THEY ANNOUNCE READY FOR TRIAL HERE. DONALD AND HIS ATTORNEYS ARE SAYING THAT YOU SAID YOU TURNED OVER EVERYTHING THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE, EVERYTHING GOING TOWARDS THE TRIAL. BUT NOW WITH THIS NEW DUMP OF INFORMATION IT APPEARS THAT THAT STATEMENT THAT YOU

SAID, EVIDENCE OR ALL RELEVANT EVIDENCE WAS TURNED OVER NOW SEEMS TO BE FALSE NOW THEY GET TO HAVE THIS ARGUMENT OF DID YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION BEFOREHAND? DID YOU DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE TO GET IT? WHAT WE’VE SEEN FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS AS EARLY AS LAST

YEAR, THEY’VE SAID THAT IF THE EVIDENCE ISN’T OVER APPROPRIATELY, THEY CAN BE CERTAIN SANCTIONS, WHETHER IT BE DISMISSAL OF A CASE OR THAT EVIDENCE NOT BEING ALLOWED TO BE USED BY THE PROSECUTION IN THEIR CASE IN CHIEF. SO HERE THE JUDGES BASICALLY DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT THIS INFORMATION CAME LATE BECAUSE

OF A FALL TO THE PROSECUTOR, THE DEFENSE OR SOMEONE IN BETWEEN. THE JUDGE ONLY DECIDED IT WASN’T A PROSECUTION FAULT. AND THEN THIS CASE CAN MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THERE WASN’T MUCH HARM OR DELAY DONE TO THE DEFENSE. >> ALL RIGHT. SO, CHRIS, LET’S PIVOT TO THE AG NOW.

TRUMP NOW HAS TO SECURE THIS LOWER $175 MILLION BOND TO APPEAL THE CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. SO WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS IN THAT APPEALS PROCESS? >> HE DOES SECURE THAT BOND. SO AFTER THAT THEN, IT WOULD GO TO THE COURT OF APPEALS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CASE.

AND AS BRIAN SAID EARLIER, THEY’RE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. DID THE JUDGE MAKE SOME SORT OF LEGAL ERROR? I SUSPECT, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY TAKE A LOOK AT SOME THE EARLIER SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTIONS WHERE THE JUDGE DECIDED EVEN WITHOUT HEARING EVIDENCE, THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME FRAUD COMMITTED.

SO I THINK THEY’LL LOOK AT THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE. I THINK THEY’LL LOOK AT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT RULINGS. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, THE BIGGEST THING AS YOU MENTIONED, DIANE, AS THOSE TEN DAYS WHERE THEY’VE GOT TO COME UP WITH THAT BOND. SO THAT THEY CAN STAY ANY SORT

OF EXECUTION ON THE JUDGMENT. >> JOHN, HAS TRUMP’S INNER CIRCLE RESPONDING TO THESE DECISIONS? ONE WIN AND THE OTHER NOT SO MUCH. >> YEAH, I MEAN, THE WAY YOU’D EXPECT, RIGHT YOU RESPOND TO A WIN BY SAYING, YEAH, YOU RESPOND TO A LOSS. AND SO THAT’S THE REALITY OF WHAT THEY’RE DEALING

WITH RIGHT NOW. THEY LISTENED THEY DID NOT EXPECT IF TALK TO THEM CANDIDLY THAT APRIL 15TH WAS SUDDENLY GOING TO DISAPPEAR AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A TRIAL THAT MOVED TO THE SUMMER. THEY WERE HOPING FOR IT THINKING THEY HAD A GOOD ARGUMENT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE THAT SUDDENLY

HAVE TO GO THROUGH. BUT THE REALITY IS, IS THAT THEY FELT FROM THE GET GO THIS WAS A TRIAL WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. AND LOOK, IN ALL OF THE CASES RIGHT NOW, DONALD HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE DELAY GAME. RIGHT. HE’S BEEN REALLY AT IT IN THE D.C. CASE, WAITING

ON THE SUPREME COURT TO HEAR IT LATER NEXT MONTH. HE’S BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH THE DOCUMENTS CASE. WE STILL DON’T HAVE A TRIAL DATE. THERE IS A CALENDAR DATE ROUGHLY IN MAY THAT’S JUST NOT REAL. AND OBVIOUSLY, WE’VE ALL BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE I CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO SAY IT.

THE HOT MESS THAT HAS BECOME THE GEORGIA CASE, GIVEN ALL THE DISTRACTIONS AND DRAMA THAT HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE DEA AND THE RELATIONSHIP THERE. SO THIS IS THE ONE THEY KNEW THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FACE. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE STRONGEST TEAM HERE, LED BY TODD BLANCHE, WHO IS LEADING

ALL OF THE CASES AT THE MOMENT AND A COUPLE OTHER ATTORNEYS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN THE COMPANY FOR SOME TIME. SO AS FAR AS APRIL 15TH IS READY TO GO THEY ARE READY TO GO. NOT EXCITED FOR IT, OBVIOUSLY. BUT HERE IT IS ON THE OTHER CASE BEING THE

ATTORNEY GENERAL’S THRILLED BECAUSE THREALITY IS THEY HAD BASICALLY GIVEN UP ALL AS ONE PERSON SAID TO ME, LET’S SEE WHAT MONDAY BRINGS. BEING TODAY. THIS WAS THE DEADLINE DAY. THEY HAD GONE TO 30 DIFFERENT BOND COMPANIES. THEY GOT NOTHING. HE DID NOT WANT TO SELL ANYTHING.

HE DID NOT WANT TO LIQUIDATE HIS TRUTH. SOCIAL SHARES, WHICH YOU AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER, DIANE OBVIOUSLY NOW THAT COMPANY HAS GONE PUBLIC UNDER A DIFFERENT IDEA. DJT ON THE NASDAQ, DONALD TRUMP’S HOLDINGS OF THAT SUDDENLY UP TO $3 BILLION, HE CAN’T LIQUIDATE IT RIGHT AWAY.

BUT AT A SPECIAL APPROVAL FROM HIS BOARD. BUT NEVERTHELESS, THAT WAS ANOTHER THING DISCUSSED HIS LIFELINE. SO THE REALITY IS THEY DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING THEY JUST NEED THE COURT OF APPEALS TO STEP IN. SO 175 IS A WIN FOR NOW. BUT LET’S BE CLEAR, IT ALLOWS THEM TO APPEAL.

IT STILL MEANS, THOUGH, THE OVERALL JUDGMENT FOR 64 REMAINS. >> SO, BRIAN IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE, THIS IS A CRIMINAL TRIAL. SO HOW DIFFICULT JURY SELECTION BE FOR THIS SORT OF JURY SELECTION? >> REMEMBER, IS GOING TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH SIDES TO FIND 12 PEOPLE, PLUS

PROBABLY TWO OR THREE ULTIMATE. SO LET’S SAY 15 IN TOTAL, JUST TO GIVE US THAT GOOD ROUND NUMBER. AND WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR WHO HAS NEVER HEARD ABOUT DONALD TRUMP OR NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS CASE, BUT SOMEONE WHO CAN PUT ASIDE WHAT THEY MAY HAVE HEARD, WHETHER IT BE A LOT OR

A LITTLE AND ONLY LISTEN TO THE EVIDENCE AS PRESENTED IN COURT AND MAKE A RULING BASED ON THAT WITH THAT BEING THE STANDARD, I WOULD SAY IT’S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. PROBABLY A DIFFICULT AS THE OTHER CASES, BUT STILL DIFFICULT NONETHELESS, BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY FORMULATED OPINIONS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT

THIS IS A CRIME. THIS ISN’T A CRIME. AND SO YOU HAVE TO SIFT THROUGH ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL STILL BACK THEIR RESERVATIONS OR THEIR BELIEF AS THE GUILT OR INNOCENCE OF DONALD TRUMP AND INSTEAD WEIGH THE EVIDENCE THAT’S PRESENTED TO THEM. >> AND THEN THIS IS A

SIX WEEK LONG TRIAL. THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SIT AND HEAR ALL THE EVIDENCE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR JOB, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LIVES, REGARDLESS WHATEVER IS GOING ON. AND THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE NEWS LIKE US TALKING ABOUT AND STILL COME BACK WITH AN UNBIASED DECISION THAT’S GOING TO MAKE

FOR A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS GOING FORWARD. >> AND CHRIS, IF YOU’RE THE PROSECUTOR IN THIS CASE, WHAT ARE FOCUSED ON NOW AHEAD OF THAT TRIAL DATE, JURY SELECTION, AS BRIAN SAID, I MEAN, SO THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ANY DECISION AND ANYBODY COMING FROM A TWO PARENT HOUSEHOLD KNOWS YOU’VE

GOT A ONE PARENT FOR ONE QUESTION. YOU GO TO ANOTHER FOR ANOTHER, DEPENDING ON WHAT ANSWER YOU WANT TO GET. THAT’S THE SAME THING WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A JURY. SO MEAN RIGHT NOW THEY’RE FOCUSING ON WHAT TYPE OF JURORS THEY WANT BEYOND TRYING FIND FOLKS THAT ARE

GOING TO BE FAIR AND ABLE TO TO LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE AS IT’S COMING IN, JUST AS BRIAN SAID, AND HEAR THE LIES THAT’S COMING FROM THE COURT. BUT YOU WANT TO FIND THOSE FACTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE FAVORABLE TO YOUR CASE TO TRY AND PROTECT THEM DURING JURY SELECTION.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU’RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE TO YOUR CASE BECAUSE THAT’S WHO YOU’RE GOING TO STRIKE IF YOU’RE THE STATE SO IF YOU’RE A PROSECUTOR, YOU’VE GOT A LOT GOING ON. YOUR MAIN FOCUS, THOUGH, AT THIS POINT IS, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD BE READY FOR TRIAL.

YOU SHOULD HAVE MOST OF YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR WITNESSES WHO YOU WANT TO CALL, WHAT DOCUMENTS YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING TO USE, AND THEN YOU WANT TO BE FOCUSED ON WHO ARE THOSE 12 PEOPLE. AND ALSO ALTERNATES AS WELL. BECAUSE ANY CASE THAT I’VE

TRIED OF ANY LENGTH IN A SIX WEEK LONG TRIAL IS AN ETERNITY WHEN IT COMES TO TRIALS. MOST ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS LONG. SO SIX WEEKS IS A VERY LONG TIME PERIOD. YOU KNOW, BRIAN MENTIONED THE ALTERNATES BEFORE. THEY’RE GOING TO BE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MAIN JURORS

BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OR TWO OF THE MAJORS PROBABLY WON’T BE ABLE TO CONTINUE SERVING. LIFE HAPPENS JURORS, JUST LIKE IT DOES TO EVERYBODY ELSE. PEOPLE GET SICK, YOU KNOW, THEY’VE GOT DIFFERENT FAMILY EMERGENCIES THAT POP UP AND SAY ALL THESE JURORS ALONG THE WAY. SO REALLY, AT THIS POINT,

DIANE, WHAT THEY’RE FOCUSING ON IS SELECTION AND THINKING, WHAT ARE THE 12 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHO ARE GOING TO BE THE ULTIMATE DECISION MAKERS IN THIS CASE? >> JOHN, HOW COULD THIS ALL AFFECT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN? WELL, I MEAN, HE’S NOT CAMPAIGNING IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE, RIGHT?

I MEAN, HE’S NOT GOING AND DOING BIG EVENTS DURING THE WEEK HE’S NOT GOING TO GO DURING LENT HANDING IN SOME OF THAT. DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY DOES NOT PARTICULARLY. HE LIKES THE BIG EVENTS. HE CAN STILL RUN OUT AND DO THOSE ON THE WEEKENDS. BUT IT DOES MAKE THINGS

A LITTLE DIFFICULT, OBVIOUSLY, RIGHT, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME EVENTS AND THINGS THAT YOU GOT TO DO OVER THE COURSE OF THE CAMPAIGN RIGHT. AND OBVIOUSLY THE ONE THING THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE EASIER IS THAT THIS IS NOT 2016 WHERE DONALD TRUMP LOCKED UP THE NOMINATION IN LATE MAY,

JUNE, HE HAS IT LOCKED. IT’S HIS NOMINATION AT THIS POINT. IT’S DONE. ALL WE’RE WAITING FOR IS THE CORONATION THIS SUMMER AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. BUT IT DOES MAKE TRICKY. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT’S BEEN DISCUSSED WITHIN TEAM TRUMP IS, MAYBE WE DO A RUNNING MATE SOONER, RIGHT?

BRING SOMEBODY ELSE THAT COULD STEP IN AND DO SOME OF THOSE EVENTS FOR US WHILE HE’S STUCK IN A COURTROOM. I’M TOLD NO DECISION IS EVEN CLOSE YET. IT’S SOMETHING THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS BUILDING A LIST WITH MANY, MANY PEOPLE ON IT. THERE’S NO FINAL SET, YOU KNOW, CORE GROUP THAT THEY’RE CLOSE

TO. BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS BEING DISCUSSED, BECAUSE AS YOU POINT OUT, HE’S GOT TO CAMPAIGN. HE’S GOT TO BE ON THE ROAD IN SOME WAY. >> THIS MAKES IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. DOES IT HELP HIM THAT THESE CASES GET SO MUCH PRESS? SO HE IS AT LEAST STILL HAVING

HIS NAME OUT THERE AND GETTING THAT ATTENTION? >> HIS NAME IS OUT THERE. HE’S OBVIOUSLY TO SPEAK AS OFTEN AS HE DOES. LOOK TODAY ALONE. HE’S ALREADY TALKED THREE TIMES AND WE’RE ALL WAITING FOR A POTENTIAL PRESS CONFERENCE. HE LEAVES COURT VERY SHORTLY. SO, YEAH, IT DEFINITELY HELPS HIM.

AND IT HAS HELPED HIS FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, ALTHOUGH THOSE NUMBERS GOT A LITTLE SOFT RECENTLY. SO I THINK THOUGH, WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HERE IS THAT DONALD TRUMP SUCCESSFULLY CAMPAIGNED IN 2016 TALKING ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE’S PROBLEMS THIS TIME AROUND, THIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS. RIGHT.

THAT THEY’RE OUT TO ME. WITCH HUNT. RIGHT. THIS IS WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS THINKING, IS HIS WIN, LET’S SAY. >> ALL RIGHT, JOHN SANTUCCI, BRIAN BUCKMIRE CHRIS, THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, A MAJOR LEAGUE INVESTIGATOR AND WHY QUESTIONS ARE GROWING AS BASEBALL’S BIGGEST STAR, SHOHEI OHTANI, PREPARES TO PUBLICLY ADDRESS

WHILE THE IRS ALSO ZEROES IN ON

AN ALLEGED ILLEGAL GAMBLING SCANDAL INVOLVING HIS FORMER INTERPRETER. THE SCANDAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST SPORTS SCANDALS WE’VE EVER SEEN AND CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST BASEBALL SCANDALS THAT WE’VE EVER SEEN. >> OHTANI IS THE PAID PLAYER IN AMERICAN SPORTS HISTORY. ESPN REPORTING INTERPRETER AND BEST FRIEND EPA MATSUMURA

ALLEGEDLY USED SUPERSTAR’S MONEY TO PAY OFF AT LEAST $4.5 MILLION TO COVER HIS GAMBLING DEBTS TO A BOOKMAKER WHO WAS ALSO UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. NEEDS YOU ARE UP FIRST CLAIMING THE SUPERSTAR AGREED TO HELP HIM PAY THE DEBTS ONLY TO WALK THAT BACK A DAY LATER. >> HE SAID THAT OHTANI HAD NO

KNOWLEDGE OF HIS GAMING DEBTS AND HAD NOT PAID THE MONEY THROUGH THE WIRE TRANSFERS. >> MATSUBARA DENIES BETTING ON BASEBALL, TELLING ESPN HE PLACED BETS ON SOCCER, BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL.

TO THE RESCUE HOTELS AND RESORT IS OFFERING SPECIAL SLEEP AND SPA PACKAGES RANGING IN PRICE FROM $300 TO $12000 TO HELP TRAVELERS GET SOME MUCH NEEDED REST. IT’S A TREND CALLED SLEEP TOURISM. >> THE IDEA BEHIND THESE BIG RETREATS IS REALLY GIVING COLLECTIVELY A BREAK AND PULLING OURSELVES OUT

OF OUR NORMAL DAY TO DAY HOTELS, CREATING ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE BEST FOR REST, QUIET, TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED AND COMFORTABLE. EQUINOX HOTEL IN NEW YORK HAS TEMPERATURE REGULATING MATTRESSES. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY RELAXING EXPERIENCE AND IT HELPED MY JETLAG. >> MARY BEMIS, A SPY EXPERT, JUST SPENT TWO NIGHTS

WE HAVE PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PROMISE TO DELIVER TO US PERSONALLY AND IN THE STATE OF THE UNION? >> WE’RE ALSO WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK. YOU BRING HOME EVAN AND PAUL. AMERICANS BEING UNJUSTLY DETAINED BY THE RUSSIANS. >> AND WE KNOW THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS TAKING EVAN’S CASE VERY SERIOUSLY.

>> SO WE ARE OPTIMISTIC. WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO GO TO THE STATE? IT’S A SIGN FOR US THAT EVERYBODY IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, THE U.S. SENATE AND CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE ARE TAKING THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS SERIOUSLY. IT’S IMPORTANT. >> THIS WEEK MARKS

ONE YEAR SINCE THE 32 YEAR OLD WAS ARRESTED BY RUSSIA’S SECURITY SERVICE AT A STEAKHOUSE WHILE ON A REPORTING TRIP. EVAN, WHO IS ACCREDITED BY RUSSIA’S FOREIGN MINISTRY TO WORK AS A JOURNALIST, IS BEING HELD ON CHARGES OF ESPIONAGE ALLEGATIONS. EVAN, THE U.S. AND THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL” FIRMLY,

HE HAS PLED NOT GUILTY AND THE US STATE DEPARTMENT HAS DECLARED WRONGFULLY DETAINED. >> TELL ME ABOUT THE EFFORTS AT THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL”. IS MAKING ON BEHALF OF DEVIN BOOKER GETTING FREE AND TO SUPPORT HIM INSIDE RUSSIA? >> WELL, IN TERMS OF GETTING EVAN FREE, THAT’S VERY MUCH A GOVERNMENT TO GOVERNMENT

ISSUE. SO OUR MAIN FOCUS, THE JOURNAL, HAS BEEN TO KEEP EVAN STORY FRONT OF MIND TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT AN INNOCENT JOURNALIST IS IN BEHIND BARS IN PRISON FOR DOING HIS JOB. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR COMMUNICATIONS WITH EVAN? >> WELL, WE STILL KEEP WRITING LETTERS.

YOU KNOW, EVAN TRIES TO PROTECT US. WE ARE TRYING PROTECT HIM. >> AND I READ THAT YOU’RE PLAYING LONG DISTANCE WITH HIM. >> HE’S TEACHING ME. IT’S A FRIENDLY GAME. IT’S NOT A COMPETITION. AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE’S SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY MOTHER. >> I WAS AMAZED TO READ

THAT HE’S ACTUALLY MAKING SURE THAT HE SENDS GIFTS THAT YOU DO FOR HIM TO ALL HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY AROUND IMPORTANT OCCASIONS. >> YES, HE REMEMBERS HIS FRIENDS BIRTHDAYS. WE RECEIVED FLOWERS FROM, HIM FOR THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY MASTERS. AND SHE REALLY CARES. SHE WANTS TO THANK PEOPLE FOR

THEIR CARE ABOUT HIM FOR KEEPING HIS STORY FRONT AND CENTER IN DECEMBER, THE STATE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED RUSSIA REJECTED A PROPOSAL THAT WOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE RELEASE OF EVAN AND FORMER MARINE PAUL WHELAN. BUT VLADIMIR PUTIN RECENTLY SUGGESTED HE COULD BE OPEN TO A PRISONER SWAP. >> WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN

YOU HEARD PRESIDENT PUTIN DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF A TRADE WAR AND WE’RE HAPPY THAT BOTH GOVERNMENTS EXPRESSED WILLINGNESS TO NEGOTIATE. >> AND YOU’RE CONFIDENT, AS I SAID, THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN RIGHT NOW. >> WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEY’RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN AND WE WANT THEM

TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. >> WHAT MORE HAS THAPPEN RIGHT NOW, IN YOUR VIEW? WELL, CONVERSATIONS HAVE TO KEEP TO CONTINUE. I THINK THESE HOSTAGE DEALS ARE ALWAYS, BY THEIR NATURE, COMPLICATED. I MEAN TALKING OF CHESS, THEY’RE LIKE CHESS BOARDS. YOU KNOW, YOU MOVE ONE PIECE AND THE EDGE TOWARDS AN ENDGAME

AND THEN ANOTHER PIECE MOVES AND YOU TAKE A BACKWARD STEP. EVERYTHING WILL BE RELEASED. BUT IT’S COMPLICATED TO THAT. THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENTS INVOLVED. SO I YOU KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND OPTIMISTIC AS WELL AS WHAT KEEPS YOU OPTIMISTIC EVERY DAY.

>> WELL, I THINK IF YOU LET THE PESSIMISM IN IS THE GAME IS OVER. THEY ARE SAYING AND THE FAMILY IS ARE MOVING. >> AND IT SOUNDS LIKE EVAN DOES EVERYTHING HE CAN TO KEEP YOUR. YES. YES. I THINK FOR BOTH OF US, WE EXCHANGED THOSE NOTES THAT WE

ARE MOVING AND WE WANT YOU TO KEEP GOING. AND HE SAYS THAT HE’S FIGHTING. >> HE’S FIGHTING. BUT SHE CAN’T WAIT TO HAVE HIM BACK ON STAFF. >> YOU BET. I MEAN, HOW MUCH OF AN ISSUE IS NOT A TIME OFF, BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A REPORTER WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT

OF KNOWLEDGEBLEMS WE HAVE IS WE WE DON’T HAVE ANYONE THE GROUND IN RUSSIA, NOT JUST US, BUT — BUT VIRTUALLY NO NEWS ORGANIZATIONS HAVE ANYONE ON THE GROUND THERE. >> AND THAT’S THE WIDER ISSUE AT STAKE HERE, READY FOR A BIG CELEBRATION WHEN HE COMES ON. >> OF COURSE.

PLUS, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF BOEING WILL STEPPING DOWN AFTER MONTHS OF SAFETY ISSUES. WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOU THE NEXT TIME YOU FLY.

AND LOST IN TRANSLATION. BASEBALL SUPERSTAR SHOHEI OHTANI WILL TO REPORTERS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HIS INTERPRETER WAS FIRED AMID ALLEGATIONS OF STEALING TO PAY OFF GAMBLING DEBTS. WE GOT THE LATEST FROM DODGER STADIUM. >> I WANT I’M TERRY MORAN. AND OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR, BREAKING NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK

CITY. DONALD TRUMP WILL STAND TRIAL OVER AN ALLEGED HUSH MONEY TO ADULT FILM STAR STORMY DANIELS STARTING ON APRIL THE 15TH. >> THE JUDGE REJECTED A REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL DELAY IN THIS RULING THAT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM DIDN’T PROVIDE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MOVE THE DATE BACK. >> THIS COMES AFTER

NEW YORK STATE APPEALS COURT SIDED WITH TRUMP IN A DIFFERENT CASE. THEY LOWERED THE AMOUNT THAT HE NEEDS TO PAY TO COVER HIS SEPARATE CIVIL JUDGMENT. TRUMP NOW ONLY NEEDS ONLY $175 MILLION BOND. THAT’S MUCH LESS THE $1,464 MILLION BOND THE JUDGE ORIGINALLY IN THIS CASE AND HE OWED.

SO TRUMP NOW HAS TEN DAYS TO COME UP WITH THAT BOND. PUSHING BACK THE POTENTIAL OF ASSETS WHICH COULD HAVE STARTED AS SOON AS TODAY. WE’VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE ON THIS LEADING US UP. ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE IN NEW YORK, ALONG WITH EXECUTIVE EDITOR

PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY AT HAMILTON CLARK. BUT BRIAN BROCKMIRE AND CHRIS TIMMONS, FORMER GEORGIA AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AS WELL. >> WELCOME TO ALL, AARON. YOU WERE IN COURT TODAY FOR THE SETTING OF THIS TRIAL. >> THEY BREAK DOWN WHAT YOU AND WHAT IT MEANS GOING FORWARD

ABOUT THE JUDGE WAS UNIMPRESSED WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ATTEMPT TO DELAY HIS TRIAL ANY FURTHER. HE SAID THAT HE WILL SEE ON APRIL 15TH BECAUSE HE DID NOT FIND THAT THERE WAS ANY KIND OF MALFEASANCE ON THE PART OF PROSECUTORS IN OVER POTENTIAL EVIDENCE. THE DEFENSE HAD SAID THAT PROSECUTORS COMMITTED

A WILLFUL, MISTAKEN, BUT BY NOT TURNING OVER EVERYTHING AS THEY’RE OBLIGATED TO DO UNDER THE DISCOVERY RULES. BUT THE JUDGE ALMOST SCOLDED TRUMP’S DEFENSE ATTORNEY, TODD BLAND, FOR FAILING TO COME UP WITH ANY KIND OF A LEGAL CITATION FOR FOR WHAT RULES PROSECUTORS ALLEGEDLY BROKE. AND SO VERY QUICKLY AFTER

A BREAK, HE SIMPLY SAID NO, THE TRIAL WOULD GO FORWARD APRIL 15TH. AND RIGHT NOW, TERRY, IT IS THE ONLY ONE OF FOUR OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS TO GO AHEAD TRIAL BEFORE THE ELECTION. >> YES, AND THANK YOU, AARON JOHN SANTUCCI. YOU KNOW, THAT WAS ONE OF

THE GOALS OF TRUMP’S LEGAL STRATEGY. DELAY THESE CASES UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION, RAISE MONEY OFF OF FOR SURE, BUT ALSO NOT MAKE THEM THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL. HOW’S TRUMP RESPONDING NOW THAT THE TRIAL DATE OF APRIL 15TH HAS BEEN SET? WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU SAY DOESN’T MAKE IT THE FOCUS,

BUT NEVERTHELESS, TRUMP IS OBVIOUSLY CAMPAIGNING OFF OF THIS AND SAYING TERRY THAT THIS IS YET AGAIN ELECTION INTERFERENCE. THOSE TWO WORDS WE’VE HEARD DONALD SAY CONSISTENTLY OVER THE LAST TEN, NEARLY TEN YEARS FROM BEING A POLITICIAN AND WITCH HUNT. AND DONALD TRUMP KNOWS THAT IN SOME WAYS, IF THIS IS A MIXED

BAG, RIGHT, POLITICALLY, HE SEES THE WIN BECAUSE BEEN TAKING IN MORE MONEY AS HE’S BEEN FUNDRAISING, OBVIOUSLY DOING IN THE POLLS AND CERTAINLY ALREADY HE HAS CLINCHED THE REPUBLICAN AS THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE JUST WAITING FOR HIS CORONATION JULY AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. BUT NEVERTHELESS, TERRY, LET’S BE CLEAR, THIS TRIAL

IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR DONALD TRUMP FOR TWO REASONS. NUMBER ONE, IT’S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE’VE SEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS OF THE CIVIL PROCEDURES. DONALD TRUMP FACED. THIS IS CRIMINAL. IT MEANS DONALD TRUMP CANNOT POP IN WHEN HE FEELS IT. HE NEEDS TO PHYSICALLY BE IN

NEW YORK FOR EVERY DAY HIS TRIAL HAPPENS, TERRY. THAT’S SIX WEEKS AT A MINIMUM, AS I UNDERSTAND, TO THINK DONALD TRUMP HAS TO SIT THERE DAY IN AND DAY OUT. THE OTHER PART OF THAT, LET’S BE CLEAR WHO’S ON THE STAND HERE. MICHAEL COHEN IS ONE TIME FIXER AND ALLY, STORMY DANIELS.

DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO HAVE TO SIT THERE, TERRY, AND LISTEN TO ALL OF IT. AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING THAT DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT WANT TO DO, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE SAYS HE HAS TO BE HERE. HE’S LOOKING FORWARD TO PARTS, THE TRIAL, EVERYTHING. I UNDERSTAND. AND TERRY.

DONALD TRUMP IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT OF THIS. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT. JOHN, THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE’RE GOING TO GO TO WHERE DONALD TRUMP IS SPEAKING OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE AFTER THIS TRIAL DATE HAS BEEN SET. >> A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED TODAY. THIS IS ALL ABOUT ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND JOE BIDEN RUN

THINGS MEANING BIDEN AND HIS THUGS BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW IF HE KNOWS HE’S ALIVE. AND IT’S A SHAME. IT’S A SHAME WHAT’S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY. THIS ELECTION INTERFERENCE. THEY ARE DOING THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE IN THIS COUNTRY BEFORE. WE’VE NEVER HAD LIKE IT, CERTAINLY NOT AT THIS LEVEL.

BUT WE REALLY HAD NOTHING LIKE IT THAT I’VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND. IT DOES HAPPEN A LOT IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES, BANANA REPUBLICS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE WHAT WE JUST LEFT, YOU HAD A YOU HAVE A CASE WHICH THEY’RE DYING TO GET THIS THING STARTED. >> THE JUDGE CANNOT FASTER

HE WANTS TO GET IT STARTED SO BADLY AND TREMENDOUS CORRUPTION. YOU HAVE POMERANZ MARK POMERANZ ,WHO IS HILLARY CLINTON’S LAWYER OR A DEMOCRAT NATIONAL COMMITTEE LAWYER. HE WORKED IN POOR WHITES, WALKED IN AND HE TOOK OVER THE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE. NOBODY’S EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE TO PROSECUTE TRUMP.

>> AND THEN THEY WOULDN’T WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. >> AND THEN HE GOES OUT AND HE WRITES A BOOK LONG BEFORE ANY DECISIONS WERE MADE. HE WRITES A BOOK ABOUT IT, AND THE BOOK IS PUBLISHED AND EVERYBODY’S READING THIS BOOK. >> AND THE JUDGE SAID, THERE’S NOTHING WRONG IT.

AND IF YOU LOOK AND BRAG, GREG HAD A FIGHT OVER THAT BECAUSE THIS TRIAL IS NOW DEAD, WE CAN’T DO THAT. WELL, THAT WAS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS. AND THE JUDGE SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED THAT TO HAPPEN. >> AND YOU HAD OTHER INSTANCES LIKE CALENDULA. MICHELANGELO IS A RADICAL

LEFT FROM THE WHO WAS PUT INTO THE STATE WORKING WITH LETITIA JAMES, AND THEN HE WAS PUT INTO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TO RUN THE TRIAL AGAINST. AND THAT WAS DONE BY BIDEN. IS THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY WIN AN ELECTION, BECAUSE OF THE VOTERS, BECAUSE OF ENERGY CRISIS, OF INFLATION, BECAUSE

AFGHANISTAN, THE WORST AND MOST EMBARRASSING DAY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, HE CAN’T WIN BECAUSE OF RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS, BECAUSE OF UKRAINE BEING ATTACKED BY, RUSSIA. AND HE CAN’T WIN BECAUSE OF THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK OF ISRAEL, WHICH HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.

WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT. UKRAINE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IF I WAS PRESIDENT AND YOU WOULDN’T HAVE INFLATION IF I WAS PRESIDENT, WE DIDN’T HAVE INFLATION. >> SO ALL OF THESE THINGS. >> SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY DO ELECTION INTERFERENCE, WHICH IS COURT CASES.

AND LET’S TRY AND TIE HIM UP AND LET’S TAKE AS MUCH OF HIS MONEY AS POSSIBLE. I RESPECT THE APPELLATE DIVISION FOR SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCING THAT RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS PUT ON BY A CORRUPT JUDGE NAMED NORANDA TO BE LOOKED AT SERIOUSLY, LOOKED AT, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE DID WITH VALUATIONS.

HE’S THE ONE HE’S A FRAUDULENT EVALUATOR WHERE HE VALUES MAR-A-LAGO AT $18 MILLION. AND PEOPLE SAY IT’S WORTH 50 TO 100 TIMES THAT MUCH. THE BIGGEST EXPERTS IN THE BUSINESS. SO HE OUGHT TO BE LOOKED AT AND JAMES OUGHT TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE. >> SHE TRIED TO GET HIM.

SHE’S LIKE THE PUPPET MASTER OF THE JUDGE. AND IN OUR STATE, THIS STATE IS LOSING PRESTIGE. IT’S LOSING ITS COMPANIES, IT’S LOSING ITS PEOPLE. THEY’RE FLEEING. AND VIOLENT CRIME IS FLOURISHING. AND WE CAN’T HAVE THAT. WE CAN’T HAVE THAT. NO CITY SHOULD HAVE THAT. AND IT’S HAPPENING IN OTHER

CITIES, BUT NOT WITH THE LAWFARE. >> THE LAWFARE THAT THEY’RE DOING IS INCREDIBLE. >> SO THEY COULD HAVE DONE THIS IN THE CASE OF THE TRIAL THAT JUST LEFT ONE OF THE MANY LET IT GO AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS RUN BY BIDEN AND HIS THUGS.

THE ONLY WAY THEY THINK THEY CAN GET ELECTED. AND I THINK SO FAR IT’S BACKFIRING BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY UNDERSTAND IT. IT’S BACKFIRING, BUT THEY’RE BEING AND THEY’RE RUNNING ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT CASES. >> SO RIDICULOUS THE CASES, EVERY ONE OF THEM IS RIDICULOUS. YOU TAKE LOOK AT ANY ONE OF

THEM AND YOU SAY ANY ONE OF THEM WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THIS IS ALL WEAPONIZATION OF DOJ AND FBI RAIDED MY HOUSE IN VIOLATION OF A THING CALLED FOURTH AMENDMENT. NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT. THEY RAIDED MY HOUSE FRONT OF THE MAR-A-LAGO. NO, NO, NOTHING. NOTHING. THEY RAIDED IT.

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. NOBODY CAN BELIEVE IT. AND WE’LL SEE HOW THAT ALL WORKS OUT IN THE END. BUT IT’S WHAT THEY’RE DOING. IT’S CRIMINAL WHAT THEY’RE DOING, AND IT’S NEVER BEEN DONE IN THIS COUNTRY. >> YOU CAN’T HAVE AN ELECTION IN THE MIDDLE OF A POLITICAL SEASON.

>> WE JUST HAD SUPER TUESDAY AND WE HAD IT TUESDAY AFTER TUESDAY ALREADY AND WE HAD LOUISIANA THE OTHER DAY A COUPLE DAYS AGO, AND WE WON A RECORD NUMBER, THE HIGHEST NUMBER EVER RECORDED. AND BUT WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION RIGHT NOW, AND WE’RE FIGHTING FOR

JOE BIDEN, WHO’S THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY BY FAR. HE’S LET THIS COUNTRY GO TO. >>, THE BORDERS, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE COMING IN FROM PRISONS, FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS THAT TERRORISTS, MANY PEOPLE COMING IN FROM PRISONS AND MENTAL INSTITUTIONS ,THEY GET IT. AND TERRORISTS ARE COMING INTO

OUR COUNTRY. AND THIS GUY’S JUST LETTING THEM IN BY THE MILLIONS. I THINK WE HAVE 15 MILLION PEOPLE ALREADY. PEOPLE DON’T SAY THAT. I SAY IT AND I’LL BET I’M RIGHT IN SO WE’RE GOING THROUGH THIS WEAPONIZATION OF OUR GOVERNMENT TO TRY AND KNOCK OUT SOMEBODY’S POLITICAL OPPONENT.

AND SO FAR, BASED ON THE POLLS NOT WORKING AT ALL, THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE MAN WHO JUST RULED IT LIKE THE TROUBLE STARTED IN 21 DAYS OR SOMETHING. >> AND I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU CAN HAVE A TRIAL THAT’S GOING ON RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION.

NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR. IT’S NOT FAIR. OH, HE KNOWS THAT. HE’S A DEMOCRAT. JUDGE. HE WANTS TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL TRYING TO DAMAGE TRUMP AS MUCH AS. BOSS, WHAT’S HAPPENING? THE REVERSE EFFECT. BUT MAYBE SOMEDAY, I DON’T KNOW . BUT IT’S HAVING THE REVERSE. IN FACT, IT’S A TERRIBLE,

TERRIBLE PRECEDENT, TERRIBLE THING TO DO. THEY COULD HAVE STARTED THIS. >> I LEFT OFF AND SHE COULD HAVE GONE BACK THREE YEARS. MORE THAN THAT WHEN I LEFT OFFICE, ALL OF THESE THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN STARTED. >> SO WOULDN’T BE QUIBBLING OVER STARTING THIS WEEK OR THAT WEEK OR TWO DAYS OR

THREE DAYS WOULD HAVE MATTERED. THIS THING WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER TWO YEARS AGO. >> THEY COULD HAVE STARTED. THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER. THIS IS NO CASE. HAVE YOU READ ANDY MCCARTHY’S PIECE? IF YOU READ JONATHAN TURLEY SPACE? IF YOU READ LEGAL SCHOLARS ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEY SAY

THIS CASE IS A HOAX AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD AND IT’S NOT EVEN A CRIME. >> THEY SAID THERE’S NO CRIME AND THERE IS NO CRIME. SO I JUST SAY IT’S A SAD DAY FOR THIS COUNTRY WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. AND REMEMBER, THE WORDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN STARTED THREE YEARS

AGO. THEY WERE GOING TO START IT AT ALL. AND THEN YOU WOULDN’T BE QUIBBLING OVER WHAT WE COULD SPEND TEN DAYS EQUIVALENT OF A DAYS AND HOURS. THEY WOULDN’T BE QUIBBLING AT ALL. THEY NEVER STARTED IT. AND YOU KNOW WHY THEY DIDN’T STARTED BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T

KNOW I’D BE RUNNING AND THEY DIDN’T KNOW HOW WELL I DO. AND IF WERE NOT RUNNING OR IF I WERE DOING POORLY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS DONE, BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL DOWN THE ROAD, KNOCKED OUT EXCEPT FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN. IF I WERE DOING POORLY, THIS WOULDN’T BE HAPPENING AND NONE

THESE TRIALS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPENING. IF I WASN’T RUNNING. THEY WOULDN’T BE. SO IT’S A SAD DAY IN OUR COUNTRY IN MANY RESPECTS, BUT THE GOOD DAY IS THAT THE APPELLATE DIVISION WAS FAIR . IT’S A LOT OF MONEY STILL, BUT THE JUDGE IS CORRUPT. IN MY HE’S THE MOST OVERTURNED JUDGE.

HE’S BEEN OVERTURNED FIVE TIMES IN THIS CASE ALONE. >> HE RULED AGAINST ME BEFORE HE EVEN KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CASE. HE RULED AGAINST ME. THE WHOLE CASE WAS ALL ABOUT DAMAGES AND THERE WERE NO DAMAGES. AND PERHAPS YOU’LL GET HIM TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT TOOK PLACE IN TERMS OF THE

SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATION, BECAUSE THOSE WEREN’T THE NUMBERS HE WAS DISCUSSING. THOSE WEREN’T THE NUMBERS. IT’S A DISGRACE WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY. AND WE HAVE TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK AND WE’RE GOING TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK. AND THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN NOVEMBER, I BELIEVE, WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY

IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. WE’LL GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THERE. YOU WILL SEAL UP THE BORDERS AND WILL, AS I SAY, DRILL, BABY, DRILL. WE’LL BE DRILLING WE’LL GET ENERGY COSTS DOWN. WE’LL GET RID OF THE RIDICULOUS ELECTRIC CAR MANDATE. >> SO NOBODY’S EVER HEARD OF ANYTHING SO FOOLISH, SO STUPID.

AND WE’LL BRING CRIME BACK TO LAW AND ORDER. WE’RE GOING TO GET THOSE WORDS, LAW AND ORDER BACK BECAUSE OUR CITIES ARE A DISASTER. >> GREATLY RESPECT THE DECISION OF THE APPELLATE AND WE WILL ABIDE BY THAT. WE’LL PUT UP CASH OR BONDS VERY QUICKLY, SECURITIES, CASH,

BUT WHATEVER IS, WE’LL PUT IT UP VERY QUICKLY AND WE’LL WIN. THE CASE OF TODD. MAYBE I’LL HAVE TODD SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS, THEN I’LL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ASK. OKAY, TODD, WHEREVER YOU MITIGATE IS. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP SO AS WE SAID IN COURT TODAY, WE

VERY MUCH BELIEVE THAT STARTING THIS TRIAL IN APRIL OR EVEN STARTING THIS TRIAL AT ANY POINT BEFORE, BEFORE THE ELECTION IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO PRESIDENT TRUMP. IT’S COMPLETELY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE EVALUATING WHO THEY WANT TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE FIGHT.

WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO DEFEND PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THAT COURTROOM. AND LIKE WE SAID TODAY, WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION NOW IN OUR HANDS TO HELP US DO THAT. AND IN ANY EVENT, WE CERTAINLY FEEL AS IF THE DATE THAT THE

JUDGE MERSHON, TODAY, APRIL 15TH, IS NOT A DATE, WE SHOULD GO TO TRIAL. >> AND WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT. AND IF YOU READ THE ANDY MCCARTHY ARTICLE OR, JONATHAN TURLEY OR MANY OF THE LEGAL REASONS, I THINK ALMOST SINGLE ONE OF THEM, THAT’S NOT EVEN A CRIME.

>> YOU’RE BEING TRIED FOR SOMETHING THAT’S NOT EVEN A CRIME. THEY SAY IT MOST. IT’S A MISDEMEANOR. THERE’S NO MISDEMEANOR EITHER. SO WE HAVE VIOLENT CRIMINALS THAT ARE MURDERING PEOPLE, KILLING PEOPLE. WE HAVE DRUG DEALERS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY GO FREE AND THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY

WANT, BUT THEY GO AFTER TRUMP. BUT THERE’S NOT EVEN A CRIME. AND THEN YOU SEE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH IT. YOU GET COLANGELO. AND BEHIND HIM. >> AND REMEMBER, THIS IS A DOJ GUY AND HE’S A BIDEN DOJ GUY. WHY IS HE IN THE MANHATTAN D.A.’S OFFICE DRIVING THE.

THAT IN ITSELF IS A CONFLICT. HE’S IN THE MANHATTAN D.A.’S OFFICE TRYING THE CASE. >> I MEAN, THAT SCHOOL A CONFLICT. AND THEN REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU ALSO. >> POMERANZ WHEN BRAGG HEARD ABOUT IT, HE WENT OPENLY HOSTILE. HE SAID, THAT’S ONE OF THE WORST THINGS I’VE HEARD

AND YOU ALL COVERED THAT. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN TIME GOES BY, YOU KNOW, THE GREAT HERO IS TIME. >> TIME GOES BY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY FORGET THAT. BUT THAT’S A TERRIBLE COLANGELO AND POMERANTZ TERRIBLE THING. AND JUDGE DIDN’T WANT TO RULE ON THAT. >> AND HE SAID EVERYTHING WAS

FINE. THEN WHAT THEY DID WAS FINE. I DON’T THINK IT’S FINE WHEN THEY TAKE A HILLARY CLINTON LAWYER AND PUT THEM INTO PROSECUTING. I DON’T THINK THAT’S FINE. I THINK IT’S VERY BAD. AND HE DOES IT ON THE HOUSE. >> HE DOES IT WITHOUT FEE. I DON’T WANT ANYTHING.

I DON’T WANT ANYTHING. >> OUR COUNTRY HAS GONE DOWN A LONG WAY, A I FORGOT TO SAY SOMETHING. JUST SIMPLY WE’RE GRATIFIED BY THE APPELLATE DECISION TODAY, WHICH SHOWS THAT THERE STILL IS A RULE OF LAW IN NEW YORK AND THE APPELLATE DIVISION IS FOLLOWING A CERTAIN KIND OF WHITLAM’S TRIAL SHOULDN’T

HAVE A TRIAL THIS NOT A DRUG. >> THIS IS NOT A AN ACT OF CRIMINALITY. YOU ARE I DON’T KNOW. WE’RE HAVING ONE. WE’RE GOING TO BE APPEALING RIGHT NOW. I CAN TELL THAT WE DID NOTHING WRONG, JUST LIKE I DID NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OTHER CASE. MY STATEMENTS, MY FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS WERE CONSERVATIVE, WERE LOW, NOT HIGH. I MEAN, HE VALUED MAR-A-LAGO AT A FRACTION OF WHAT IT IS. HE’S THE FRAUD. HE CREATED A FRAUD IN ORDER TO HELP HIS NARRATIVE AND HER NARRATIVE BECAUSE HE DOES WHATEVER SHE AND THE JUDGE IS. REALLY WHAT HE’S DONE IS FRAUDULENT.

HE MADE MAR-A-LAGO, YOU KNOW VERY WELL, MAGGIE. HE MADE MAR-A-LAGO INTO $18 MILLION. I HAD MANY OFFERS. HE SAID, GIVE YOU 19. OKAY. YOU COULD TAKE HALF OF THE LIVING ROOM IS WORTH MORE THAN THAT. >> SO IT’S WORTH ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 100 TIMES THAT AMOUNT. AND HE STAYS WITH IT.

SO IS HE A WHACKED OUT OR DISHONEST ONE OF THE OTHER OR BOTH? PROBABLY BOTH. BUT HE’S A DISGRACE TO THE SYSTEM. AND I THINK THAT NEW YORK STATE WAS HELPED A LOT TODAY BY THE DECISION I’LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF TRUTH. SOCIAL IS DOING VERY WELL

IT’S HOT AS A PISTOL AND DOING GREAT AND IT’S GOING PUBLIC. THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE WANTS TO HAVE US DEAD. ALL RIGHT. AND I TOLD THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP, THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT TWO RULINGS THAT CAME DOWN AND TWO OF HIS CASES TODAY, ONE SETTING

A TRIAL DATE, THIS IN THE SO-CALLED HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS CASE TO STAR STORMY DANIELS, THE CRIME THAT HE IS ACCUSED OF HAVING COMMITTED. HE’S PUT THOSE AS BUSINESS. >> THE MISDEMEANOR CRIMES TURNED INTO A FELONY CRIME. IN THIS CASE BECAUSE THAT ALLEGEDLY WAS A CAMOUFLAGED CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION.

IN THE OTHER CASE, TRUMP GOT A MAJOR BENEFIT, THE AMOUNT OF BOND THAT HE NEEDS TO POST AND POST IN THAT CASE WAS REDUCED TO ORDER AND 64 MILLION DOLLARS, $167 MILLION FROM FORD AND $64 MILLION. SO A LITTLE VICTORY, A LITTLE DEFEAT FOR HIM IN COURT TODAY.

BUT WHAT YOU REALLY JUST SAW WAS, THE 2024 CAMPAIGN, RIGHT? THE WEAPONIZATION OF THESE OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM. THAT’S WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT. SO LET’S BRING TO TALK TO TALK ABOUT THAT ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, AARON KATERSKY, EXECUTIVE EDITOR, PRODUCER, JOHN SANTUCCI POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN, ABC NEWS LEGAL BRIAN BROCKMIRE

AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR TIMMONS FOR MORE. >> AND ACTUALLY I WANT TO GO FIRST TO BRIAN ON THIS. BRIAN, I THINK THE QUESTION A LOT OF AMERICANS AREN’T FOLLOWING EVERY JOT AND TITTLE OF THE TRUMP LEGAL DRAMAS WANT . >> IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OPERATING NORMALLY? SORRY, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM

IS THE SYSTEM OF AMERICAN JUSTICE OPERATING NORMALLY HERE OR AS A FORMER TRUMP SAYS, IS IT OPERATING ABNORMALLY? IT’S SIMPLY BECAUSE HE’S THE DEFENDANT THAT CAN BE A DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER. AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE, YES, IT IS OPERATING, BUT NOT IN THE WAY THAT DONALD TRUMP,

I THINK, IS PUTTING FORTH. IT IS VERY ABNORMAL THAT I CAME TO SAY THE 11TH HOUR OF 11TH HOUR AND 59 MINUTES. >> WE INTERMEDIATE APPELLATE COURT FOR NEW YORK REDUCES THE BOND FOR A DEFENDANT, $464 MILLION TO 175. IT’S ABNORMAL FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO. GIVE SOMEONE 30 DAYS AFTER

THEY’VE HAD A JUDGMENT THAT’S MORE OF A FEDERAL STANDARD IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. YOU CAN SEEK ENFORCEMENT RIGHT AFTER RIGHT. >> AND SO I THINK IN MANY WAYS, DONALD TRUMP IS BEING HANDLED WITH GLOVES IN SOME WAYS, AND SHE’S BEING LOOKED AT MUCH MORE HARSHLY IN OTHER WAYS.

AND SO IT’S ABNORMAL FOR MANY REASONS, BECAUSE HE IS THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THE WAY THAT HE OPERATES FROM FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, AS WELL AS A POLITICAL STANDPOINT, IS ABNORMAL. SO AND A NORMAL DEFENDANT WOULD OFTEN HAVE AN NORMAL PROSECUTION. WE ONLY ISSUE HERE IS, IS IT FOLLOWING THE LAW?

IS IT DIFFERENT OF WHO HE IS OR IS IT DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY’RE BENDING THE LAW AS FAR AS I’VE SEEN SO FAR, I HAVEN’T SEEN THE BENDING OR BREAKING OF LAWS TO PROSECUTE. FORMER PRESIDENT BRIAN, THANK YOU. THAT WAS AN EXTREMELY HELPFUL FOR ME. ANYWAY, I WANT TO NOW TURN

TO THE POLITICS, THOUGH. LET’S GO TO JOHN SANTA JENNA ELLIS WHO COVERS TRUMP AND HAS COVERED TRUMP FOR A LONG TIME. THE WEAPONIZATION, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. WE SHOULD UNDERLINE SOMETHING DONALD TRUMP SAID AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT JOE BIDEN AND HIS THUGS ARE ALL OF THIS. THERE IS ZERO EVIDENCE THAT JOE

BIDEN HAS ANYTHING DO WITH THESE PROSECUTIONS OR FRANKLY, THAT HE HAS ANY THUGS BUT WHATEVER. SO THIS IS THE TRUMP POLITICAL STRATEGY. HE GETS A CHANCE TO STEP OUT OF OUT OF AND BLAME BIDEN FOR EVERYTHING AND MAKE A LITTLE POLITICAL SPEECH. >> YEAH, TERRY AND TERRY, IT’S FUNNY, AS WE WERE

LISTENING TO DONALD TRUMP, I WAS SCRIBBLING ALL THE NOTES OF THINGS HE WAS SAYING THAT FRANKLY WERE JUST NOT ACCURATE. SO JUST TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THEM WITH OUR VIEWERS, HE TALKED ABOUT SEVERAL NAMES OF PROSECUTORS THAT ARE WORKING ON THESE CASES. YOU MENTIONED POMERANTZ COHEN.

WELL, THESE WERE PROSECUTORS, TERRY, AS YOU WELL KNOW, THAT WERE WORKING ON THESE CASES WELL BEFORE JOE ENTERED THE WHITE HOUSE. SO IN THE CASE OF SOME OF THE DAYS TEAM ORIGINALLY, POMERANTZ BEING ONE OF THEM, MARK POMERANTZ, A FORMER PROSECUTOR, WAS IN PRIVATE PRACTICE, WAS RECRUITED BY THE PREVIOUS

MANHATTAN D.A., CY VANCE, NOT ALVIN BRAGG, TO LOOK INTO THIS CASE, BUILT A CASE THAT ULTIMATELY DID NOT GO THAT OTHER PROSECUTOR HAD MENTIONED. MICHELANGELO OF WAS PRIOR TO WORKING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, WORKED IN THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE WHEN THEY HAD LAUNCHED THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO

PRESIDENT TRUMP YEARS AGO, EVEN BEFORE HE LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE TERRY. SO, AGAIN, DONALD TRUMP LIKES TO SAY THAT THIS IS ALL BEING ORCHESTRATED BY JOE BIDEN. BUT AS YOU JUST SAID, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT SOME OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE GONE ON WELL BEFORE DONALD TRUMP EVEN LEFT THE WHITE

HOUSE. SO I DO THINK JUST FOR OUR VIEWERS, WE DO NEED TO ZONE IN THERE. THE OTHER THING THAT WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT, TOO, FOR A SECOND, TERRY, IS THAT DONALD TRUMP SAID ABOUT THAT RAID AT MAR A LAGO, THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL THEY ENTERED LET’S BE CLEAR THAT VISAGE HAD

OFFICIALS TOMORROW THAT HE HAS DESCRIBED AS A RAID HAPPENED AFTER DONALD TRUMP FAILED TO COMPLY WITH MULTIPLE REQUESTS AND SUBPOENAS FOR DOCUMENTS. AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION THAT FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS HAVE OBTAINED THAT THEY SAID BELIEVE THERE WERE MORE DOCUMENTS IN DONALD TRUMP’S POSSESSION THAT WAS NOT BEING HONEST WITH FEDERAL

INVESTIGATORS. AND AS YOU WELL KNOW, TERRY THE IMAGES SHOW IT WHEN THEY SHOWED UP AT MAR A LAGO. IT IS THAT VISIT, IF YOU WILL, THE RAID, AS HE DESCRIBES IT, THAT FEDERAL FOUND DOCUMENTS STACKED UP IN BALLROOMS AND BATHROOMS THROUGHOUT MAR-A-LAGO. SO DONALD TRUMP SAYING THAT THEY SHOWED UP HONEST,

CHECKED IN BECAUSE THEY HAD COMPLIED. THAT IS JUST SIMPLY NOT ACCURATE. >> THAT. THANK YOU, JOHN. THAT IS THE ISSUE RIGHT IN THE CASE. LET’S GO TO RICK KLEIN THIS RICK, SO ONE OF THE FACTS OF HARD FACTS OF LIFE, PERHAPS FOR DONALD TRUMP AND AMERICAN VOTERS, IS THAT

THE CASE THAT HE NOW FACES APRIL 15TH TRIAL DATE FOR THE PAYMENT OF HUSH MONEY TO STORMY AND MISREPRESENTING HIS BUSINESS EXPENSES AND HOW THAT’S BEEN CALLED A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY THAT REQUIRES HIM TO BE IN THAT COURTROOM EVERY DAY THAT TRUMP EVERY DAY THAT CASE GOES FORWARD.

SO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LOCKED IN COURT FOR AS LONG AS THAT TRIAL LASTS. YEAH, I ALMOST FEEL SORRY FOR AMERICAN VOTERS. THIS IS A PRETTY SERIOUS ELECTION. IT’S A BIG THINGS GOING ON. AND YET HE’S GOING TO BE IN COURT DOING WHAT HE JUST

DID, MAKING HAY OUT OF THESE PROSECUTIONS BEST HE CAN AND MAKING POLITICAL SPEECHES ON THE STEPS OF THE COURTHOUSE. IT’S A STRANGE THING FOR AN ELECTION TO BE BEYOND STRANGE, TERRY, BUT I WOULD NOTE THAT DURING THE PRIMARIES THERE WERE MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE DONALD TRUMP DECIDED TO SHOW UP

COURT, EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN’T HAVE TO BE THERE AND RAISED MONEY OFF OF THE FACT THAT HE WAS SUPPOSEDLY FORCED TO BE IN COURT AND TALKING TO SEVERAL OF THE CAMPAIGNS THAT FLAMED OUT IN TRYING TO DETHRONE DONALD TRUMP FROM THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION TO DERAIL HIS QUEST. THEY BELIEVE THAT THESE LEGAL

CASES HELPED ALMOST, ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THAT HIS POLLING NUMBERS WENT UP WITH ADDITIONAL LEGAL HEAT AND THAT HIS APPEARANCES OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM WERE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN AN ORGANIZING RALLY IN IOWA OR NEW HAMPSHIRE MIGHT HAVE BEEN. SO HE HAS DONE WHAT HE CAN OUT OF THIS AND, AS YOU SAID,

WEAPONIZE THE PROSECUTIONS AGAINST HIM, I HAVE NO DOUBT HE’LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. NOW, IT MAY BE DIFFERENT, THE GENERAL ELECTION. IT’S ONE THING THAT PRIMARY VOTERS ARE ATTRACTED TO HIS SIDE BECAUSE. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY’RE BEING ATTACKED BECAUSE HE’S BEING ATTACKED UNDER THE JUDICIAL PROCESS.

BUT IT IS MORE THAN A BIT DISINGENUOUS FOR HIM TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING TO BE IN COURT WHEN HE HAS MADE AS MUCH POLITICAL HAY, AS YOU MENTIONED FROM THAT FACT, THAT HE IS IN COURT AND OUTSIDE OF COURT, AND HE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO PLENTY OF MICROPHONES

INTO AND OUTSIDE OF COURT. AND HE HAS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO CAMPAIGN, AS HE WISHES. I WOULD NOTE THAT HE DIDN’T HAVE A CAMPAIGN EVENT OVER THE IT’S BEEN ACTUALLY A FEW WEEKS SINCE HE DID A MAJOR RALLY, MORE THAN A WEEK SINCE WAS BACK IN OHIO. JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING

A LOT FOR THE DONALD TRUMP IS BIT OF A ROLE REVERSAL. AND YOU’RE RIGHT, WITH THE COURT CALENDAR GETTING VERY CLOGGED POTENTIALLY IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER, IT MAY BE THE CASE MORE OFTEN THAT THAT HE IS FORCED INTO ESSENTIALLY MAKING HIS LEGAL HIS POLITICAL STRATEGY ONE OF THE SAME.

>> AND THAT IS WHAT HE’S. LET’S GO TO AARON KATERSKY. SO, ERIN, THIS SITUATION DONALD TRUMP IS IN OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM. HE COMES HE MAKES THIS POLITICAL SPEECH. HE BLAMES BIDEN KINDS OF THINGS, THROWS AROUND ALLEGATIONS INSIDE, COURT. HE’S A DEFENDANT NOW, A DEFENDANT IN A CRIMINAL CASE FACING CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

HE’S JUST GOTTEN THROUGH WITH THIS THE APPEALS ON THE BOND THAT HE OWES IN THE CIVIL FRAUD CASE. IS HE DIFFERENT IN COURT? IS HE CHASTENED? ALL LOOK, ANY HUMAN BEING LOOKING AT PROSECUTORS, YOU WANT TO CONVICT HIM OF A CRIME, THAT’S A TOUGH SPOT TO BE IN.

DO YOU SEE ANY CHINK IN THE ARMOR IN THERE? I THINK IT YOU DON’T SEE MUCH OF IT, TERRY, ALTHOUGH HE IS MADE TO RISE, THE JUDGE ENTERS AS OPPOSED TO EVERYONE IN THE ROOM NORMALLY RISING FOR HIM AS A AS A PRESIDENT OR FORMER PRESIDENT. AND SO SOME OF THE THE OPTICS

MAY BE DIFFERENT, BUT WHEN THE PHOTOGRAPHERS IN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE HEARING TO TAKE A FEW PICTURES, HE GLARES RIGHT AT HE UNDERSTANDS THE POWER OF THE IMAGE OF HIM IN COURT AND WHAT IT MEANS AND THE KIND OF DEFIANCE THAT HE WANTS TO PRESENT. OCCASIONALLY, IF HE SEES

SOMEONE HE THINKS IS FAVORABLE, HE’LL GIVE THEM A WINK OR A THUMBS UP OR EVEN MOUTHED THANK YOU TO A GROUP OF SPECTATORS IN THE COURTROOM. NO IDEA WHO THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE NECESSARILY. HE’S ALWAYS LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM TO SEE WHO’S WATCHING AND TO SEE HOW PERHAPS HIS BEHAVIOR WILL BE

INTERPRETED. BUT IT’S ONE OF THE QUIRKS OF NEW YORK LAW. THERE ARE NO CAMERAS, VIDEO CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOM FOR THE PROCEEDINGS. YOU WONDER IF DONALD TRUMP WOULD PREFER THAT THERE WERE SO THAT HIS IMAGE COULD COME OFF MAYBE THE WAY HE WANTS. BUT TODAY IT WAS LEFT TO

HIS LAWYER TO TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT, TODD BLANCHE, THAT THIS CASE SHOULD BE EITHER DELAYED OR DISMISSED. AND THE JUDGE WAS HAVING NONE OF IT, AND IT ALMOST SEEMED HE WAS READY TO PUNISH THE DEFENSE LAWYER FOR EVEN RAISING SUCH SUCH A PROPOSITION WITHOUT PROPER LEGAL STANDING.

SO WHATEVER TRUMP SAYS OUTSIDE OF COURT INSIDE OF COURT, HIS ARGUMENTS ARE FALLING SHORT. AND ONE MORE THING, TERRY, IF I MAY. IT WAS TRUMP WHO ALMOST DERAILED HIS OWN CASE IN THE IN THE CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT, AN APPEALS COURT JUST ALLOWED HIM TO POST A SMALLER BOND OF 175 MILLION.

BUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, TRUMP’S BEEN SAYING HE’S SITTING ON $500 MILLION CASH AND THE APPELLATE COURT COULD WELL HAVE SAID, WELL, GOT TO USE FOR YOUR BOND. THEY DIDN’T, OF COURSE, BUT IT SHOWS YOU THE RISKS OF OF SPEAKING OUT OF TURN OUTSIDE THE BOUNDS THE COURTROOM.

THAT’S A GREAT POINT, ERIN. HE HAS A DIFFICULT CLIENT OF YOURS, HIS LAWYER AND A DIFFICULT DEFENDANT IN THESE CASES FOR JUDGES TO MAKE SURE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS AS AS IT CAN UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. I WANT TO GO TO CHRIS TIMMONS ON. THE QUESTION OF LOOK WHAT THE

NEXT STEP OR ONE OF THE NEXT STEPS IN THIS APRIL 15TH TRIAL COMING UP IS THEY’RE GOING TO SELECT JURY. NOW THAT THAT SEEMS TO ME WE’RE PRETTY DIVIDED COUNTRY IN NEW YORK. YOU CAN FIND PLENTY OF DIVISION, TOO, EVEN THOUGH IT’S PRIMARILY A DEMOCRATIC AREA. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FIND

A JURY THAT GIVE THIS MAN AND GIVE THE REST OF US GIVE THE SYSTEM A FAIR TRIAL? >> SO BY TERRY, I MEAN, IT’S KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU’RE HANGING WITH YOUR RELATIVES AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION GOES TOWARDS POLITICS, WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO DO IS IDENTIFY THE PEOPLE

WHO HAVE WHAT WE THINK OF AS COGNITIVE BIAS. THEY EITHER CAN ACCEPT INFORMATION, CAN’T ACCEPT INFORMATION, OR ONLY ACCEPT CERTAIN TYPES OF INFORMATION. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE ENAMORED WITH PRESIDENT. AND SO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE ENAMORED WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT CAN ONLY INFORMATION

THAT’S GOOD FOR THEM AND THEY CAN’T. THEY’LL EXPLAIN AWAY ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY FIND OUT THAT’S BAD FOR THEM. THAT’S A JUROR THAT THE STATE WANTS TO IDENTIFY AND STRIKE EITHER BECAUSE WHICH THEY’VE GOT UNLIMITED COURT STRIKES OR THROUGH WHAT WE REFER TO AS PEREMPTORY STRIKE STRIKES THAT THEY STRATEGICALLY CAN USE.

FLIP SIDE OF THAT, THE DEFENSE IS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WE ALL KNOW WHO CAN’T ACCEPT ANY GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THAT ANYTHING THAT COMES INTO THEIR THINKING THAT IS BAD FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP. THAT’S GOING TO BE IRONCLAD WITH THEM. THAT’S EVIDENCE THAT THEY’RE GOING TO ACCEPT.

AND SO WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO DO DURING JURY SELECTION, AND THAT’S A A CLASS A LAW SCHOOL CLASS THAT I TEACH GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY HERE IN ATLANTA. YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO FIND THE JURORS THAT CAN BE FAIR. AND THAT’S A TALL ORDER WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT A CASE THIS WHERE JUST ABOUT EVERYONE

HAS AN OPINION, NOT JUST ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT, BUT ALSO ABOUT THE CASE ITSELF, THE HUSH MONEY CASE THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IN NEW YORK. YEAH, IT’S GOING TO BE A REAL CHALLENGE, ISN’T IT? I WANT TO GO BACK TO JOHN SANTUCCI ON THE TRUMP LEGAL TEAM.

LOOK AT TRUMP SEEMS TO GO THROUGH LAWYERS, YOU KNOW, ABOUT AS FAST AS THE SHOE MY CHICAGO BEARS GO THROUGH QUARTERBACKS, WHICH IS TOO FAST . BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS LEGAL TEAM AND THE STRUGGLES THAT SOME HAVE HAD IN THE PAST GETTING PAID. I WE IN THE TRUMP LEGAL TEAM OR

DO YOU EXPECT MORE MORE TURNOVER THERE? TERRY THAT’S A REALLY GREAT QUESTION AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER FOR THE MOMENT. YEAH, WE’RE SET. I MEAN, AS YOU WELL KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS GONE THROUGH LAWYERS AND I THINK ANY OF US WILL HAVE IN A LIFETIME, I THINK DONALD TRUMP IS KNOWN,

OF COURSE, TO BE A VERY DIFFICULT CLIENT. HE ALWAYS TOLD OTHER LAWYERS, I WISH YOU WERE MORE LIKE ROY COHN, REFERRING TO THE INFAMOUS ATTORNEY THAT REPRESENTED DONALD TRUMP VERY EARLY IN HIS LIFE. AND THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE ATTORNEY ON BEHALF OF DONALD TRUMP. >> BUT LOOK, IN THIS CASE

AND TWO OF THE OTHER CRIMINAL CASES HE HAS, YOU SAW HIM PROBABLY FOR OF THE RARE MOMENTS SPEAKING IN FRONT OF CAMERAS. AND THAT’S TODD BLACK, A FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR WHO IS LEADING THIS CASE FOR DONALD TRUMP, A LONG WITH THE TWO CASES BROUGHT BY SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH AND AS

IT’S BEEN DESCRIBED TO ME AND SOME OF OUR COLLEAGUES, TERRY, ACCORDING TO MANY SOURCES CLOSE TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT, IT HAS BEEN THAT GUIDING HAND THROUGHOUT ALL OF THESE PROCEEDINGS HAS BEEN GUIDING HOW DONALD TRUMP AND, THE TEAM, ARE GOING TO PROCEED THROUGHOUT THIS. AND WE’RE GOING TO SEE IT

ON FULL DISPLAY HOW WELL TODD BLANCHE DOES WHEN THIS FIRST TRIAL GETS UNDERWAY. BUT YOU’RE RIGHT, THEY’VE GOT LEGAL TEAMS, TERRY, IN MULTIPLE CITIES AND BLANCHE IS OBVIOUSLY THE POINT PERSON. BUT YOU’VE HAD A CIVIL TEAM DEALING WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S CASE IN NEW YORK, THE E. JEAN CARROLL CASE

IN NEW YORK. YOU ALSO NOW, TERRY, HAVE A TEAM COMING IN TO DEAL WITH THE ARGUMENTS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT NEXT MONTH ON THE EFFORTS TO DELAY SPECIAL COUNSEL’S CASE IN THE EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION THAT THE COURT IS GOING TO HEAR, AS YOU KNOW FROM YOUR OTHER VICTORY LATE NEXT

MONTH, THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO REMEMBER THERE IS ANOTHER STATE CASE DOWN IN GEORGIA WHERE WE SAW THAT ATTORNEY STEVE SADOW ON FULL DISPLAY IN JUST THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS TRYING TO DISQUALIFY FULTON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY FANI WILLIS. NOW, OBVIOUSLY, THEY WANT A SUCCESSFUL ALL THERE, BUT NEVERTHELESS, IT JUST SHOWS

THAT DONALD TRUMP’S EFFORTS ARE SO SPLINTERED BECAUSE OF THESE FOUR CRIMINAL CASES THAT ARE PENDING. AND THEN YOU DO HAVE TO SEE WHERE THEY GO FORWARD IN. THE CASE AGAIN, GO BACK TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE SPECIAL COUNSEL’S CASE ON EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION. THEY SUDDENLY NEED TO BRING

IN MORE SUPREME COURT FOLKS WHEN THEY WERE DEALING WITH THE 14TH AMENDMENT APPEAL GOING ON HIS ELECTION CASES. TERRY, AS YOU’VE COVERED REAL TIME, THEY HAD TO BRING IN MORE ATTORNEYS. AND HERE’S THE THING. THE LEGAL BILLS FOR ALL OF THAT ARE NOT COMING FROM DONALD J. TRUMP PERSONAL CHECKING ACCOUNT.

THEY ARE COMING FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, THE TRUMP SUPERPAC LAST YEAR ALONE, TERRY, AS YOU WELL REMEMBER, DONALD TRUMP’S TEAM SPENT OVER $50 MILLION IN LEGAL FEES, NONE OF WHICH CAME DONALD TRUMP PERSONALLY, ALL OF WHICH CAME FROM THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN COFFERS. >> IT’S A GREAT POINT, JOHN.

AND NOW MAYBE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, THE PARTY AS WELL INVOLVED AND MOST HAVE MONEY FROM SMALL DOLLAR WHO SEEM AT THIS POINT HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT. I WANT TO GO TO BRIAN BUCKMAN ON CLEARLY THE TRUMP STRATEGY HAS BEEN DELAY IN THIS CASE IN THE STORMY DANIELS CASE

WITH THE WAY THE APRIL 15 TRIAL DATE HAS JUST BEEN SET. THAT DIDN’T WORK. BUT ARE THERE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE DELAY OR VERY EVEN IF YOU LOOK AT IT JUST FROM THIS TODAY, 100,000 DOCUMENTS TURNED OVER THE PROSECUTORS THAT ONLY 249 OR SOMETHING AROUND THEIR PAGES ARE RELEVANT. BUT DISCOVERY CRAVES DISCOVERY.

YOU ONLY NEED READ ONE OF THOSE PAGES TO SAY, HEY, NOW THERE APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I CAN CROSS-EXAMINE MICHAEL COHEN ON. ARE YOU TWO NOW GOING IN, INVESTIGATE THAT? AND SO WHILE THE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN GREATLY REDUCED IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF DOCUMENTS AND PAGES THROUGH SOME CAREFUL

EXAMINATION OF THESE DOCUMENTS AND, WE’VE ALL SAID IT MULTIPLE TIMES HERE, EACH ONE OF US, THE PLAN HERE DELAY, I THINK IN MANY WAYS THAT A DEFENSE ATTORNEY WOULD SAY, OKAY, I GOT THESE DOCUMENTS, BUT THESE DOCUMENTS LEAD ME TO THIS PATH, WHICH LEADS ME TO FACT AND I NEED TO QUESTION PEOPLE.

I NEED TO FILE SUBPOENAS. I NEED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY FLESH OUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES FOR MY CLIENT. AND YOU COME BACK TO THE JUDGE AND SAY, YEAH, IT WAS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED PAGES. WE’RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A DATE TO READ THROUGH.

BUT THE INVESTIGATION THAT LED AFTER THAT CAN CREATE OTHER DELAYS AS WELL. SO I DON’T THINK THE ARGUMENTS FOR DELAY HERE ARE YET, BUT I THINK THIS JUDGE MAY FEEL EXHAUSTED AS TO HOW MANY ARGUMENTS ARE MADE. AND WE CAN SEE ALREADY IN SOME OF THE RULINGS AND DECISIONS

AND SOME OF THE COMMENTARY THAT AARON GAVE US ALREADY, THEY MIGHT BE ON THEIR LAST FEW ARGUMENTS FOR A DELAY HERE, THAT BEING THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY FOR DONALD TRUMP, BECAUSE. >> THANK YOU, BRIAN, BECAUSE ALL THOSE ARGUMENTS, OF COURSE, PREMISED ESPECIALLY IN A CRIMINAL CASE ON THE FACT

THAT WE WANT A FAIR TRIAL, DEFENDANT SHOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY REALLY TO KNOW THE EVIDENCE AND HAVE THEIR OWN ANSWERS TO IT. ERIN IS RAINEY ARE YOU FEELING THE PATIENCE OF THE JUDGE? JUDGES THEY’RE RUNNING OUT. I THINK SO, TERRY. AND HE MADE CLEAR ALMOST FROM THE OUTSET THAT HE DIDN’T THINK

THERE WERE DISPUTES OVER FACTS THAT HE NEEDED TO RESOLVE. IT WAS REALLY JUST A DIFFERENCE OF INTERPRETATION. AND WHEN HE ASKED THE DEFENSE FOR A LEGAL CITATION TO BACK UP ITS ARGUMENT THAT PROSECUTORS COMMITTED MISCONDUCT HAD BROKEN THE RULES, THE DEFENSE COULDN’T COME UP WITH ONE. AND HE SAID THAT WAS EXTRAORDINARY, GIVEN

THE SEVERITY, THE CONDUCT THAT THE DEFENSE WAS ALLEGING. THE DEFENSE DOES HAVE AT LEAST ONE MORE DELAY TACTIC UP ITS SLEEVE. THE JUDGE DID GRANT LEAVE TO FILE A MOTION TO DELAY. THE TRIAL FURTHER BECAUSE OF PRETRIAL PUBLICITY. THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY, TODD BLANCHE, TELLING THE JUDGE

THAT NOT BECAUSE OF TRUMP HIMSELF, BUT JUST BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WRITING ABOUT TRUMP AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAT THAT THIS TRIAL CANNOT GO FORWARD. THE JUDGE GAVE THE PEOPLE ONE WEEK TO RESPOND, BUT IT’S ALMOST CERTAIN THAT MOTION WILL BE DELAYED AND APRIL 15TH WILL BE THE DAY THE TRIAL

STARTS. >> RIGHT. THAT IS A BACK DOOR OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM. A BIG FACTOR THAT THE CAMPAIGN IS GOING ON IS NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM NEEDS TO MAKE ITSELF AWARE OF. AND I WANT TO GO BACK JOHN SANTUCCI. I GUESS DONALD TRUMP IS RESPONDING ALREADY TO A

QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IN THIS CRIMINAL TRIAL HE DOESN’T HAVE TO, WHETHER IT WOULD TAKE THE WITNESS STAND. >> IT SEEMS LIKE HE WILL TRY. RESPONDED TO A QUESTION FROM ABC’S OLIVIA RUBIN IN THAT PRESS CONFERENCE MOMENTS AGO. OLIVIA ASKED THE FORMER PRESIDENT IF HE WOULD TESTIFY.

HE SAID, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING AND THEN REACTING. TERRY TO A QUESTION ABOUT A CONVICTION IN THIS CASE. DONALD TRUMP SAID HE DIDN’T THINK IT WOULD HURT HIS CHANCES THAT AN ELECTION HE TELLS OLIVIA, QUOTE, IT ALSO MAKE ME MORE POPULAR. NOW, THAT IS SOMETHING DONALD TRUMP IS REACTING, OF COURSE,

TO HOW THE INDICTMENTS HAVE HIT HIM OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. OF COURSE, DOING IN POLLING, DOING BETTER IN FUNDRAISING. BUT TERRY, AS YOU WELL KNOW, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE EARLY STATES THAT HAVE VOTED SO FAR. EXIT POLLING DATA OBTAINED BY ABC NEWS SHOW THAT THERE WAS

A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE VOTERS THAT SAID A CONVICTION OF DONALD TRUMP IN ANY OF THESE CASES COULD POTENTIALLY SWAY THEIR VOTE. SO THOUGH TRUMP SAYS IT COULD MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR IF THOSE VOTERS DO REACT THE WAY THAT OUR POLLING INDICATES, TERRY, IT COULD MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIM IN HIS BID

FOR A THIRD TERM IN THE WHITE HOUSE. RIGHT. WELL, THE POLLING SAYS THAT, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE’LL BELIEVE IT WHEN WE SEE IT. THIS HAS BEEN A REMARKABLY BENEFICIAL POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT HIM RIGHT THROUGHOUT. BUT YOU MAY BE RIGHT THAT THAT THAT WOULD CHANGE THE CONVICTION. JOHN SANTUCCI AARON KATERSKY

BRIAN BUCKMIRE CHRIS TIMMONS, THANKS VERY MUCH. AND RICK KLEIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO TURN NOW TO OVERSEAS AND IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. THERE IS GROWING FALLOUT FOLLOWING THAT SHOCKING REVELATION THAT CATHERINE, THE PRINCESS OF WALES, HAS CANCER. KATE AND HER HUSBAND, PRINCE WILLIAM, SAY THEY’VE BEEN,

QUOTE, ENORMOUSLY BY THE WELL-WISHES FROM PEOPLE ACROSS THE U.K. AND AROUND THE WORLD. PRINCESS KATE ANNOUNCED HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN A VIDEO STATEMENT, REMARKABLE STATEMENT ON FRIDAY AFTER MONTHS OF SPECULATION ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS AND WELL-BEING. >> SO LET’S BRING IN BUSINESS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT AND ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY.

>> MAGGIE THERE’S BEEN THIS OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT AROUND THE WORLD, NOT JUST PUBLICLY, YOU KNOW, IN HOMES, PEOPLE TALKING TO EACH OTHER. MY WIFE AND ABOUT WHAT KIND OF A STATEMENT THAT WAS. AND, YOU KNOW, PRAYERS LIFTED, I’M SURE, AROUND THE WORLD FOR HER. TALK TO US SPECIFICALLY,

HOWEVER, ABOUT HOW THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, SHE SAYS. I THINK IT’S SUCH A GOOD POINT. YEAH. YEAH, I THINK IT’S SUCH A GOOD POINT YOU JUST MADE. PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS IN THEIR HOMES. KNOW IT’S NOT JUST WORLD LEADERS. IT’S REALLY EVERYDAY PEOPLE.

AND YOU KNOW THE WORDS I, I KEEP HEARING BEING THROWN AROUND ABOUT HER RIGHT NOW ARE COURAGEOUS. SHE HAD SUCH GREAT POISE IN THIS VIDEO. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TOUCHED BY CANCER TO HAVE PRINCESS CATHERINE THE FUTURE SPEAKING ABOUT IT SO OPENLY, SO VULNERABLY.

IT’S REALLY TOUCHED A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND I THINK ESPECIALLY HERE IN THE U.K., PEOPLE HAVE KIND OF GROWN UP WITH HER. YOU KNOW, THEY WATCHED BECOME A PRINCESS. THEY’VE WATCHED HER AND NOW BECOME THE FUTURE QUEEN. AND FOR MANY, WATCHING HER DELIVER THIS MESSAGE, IT WAS EMOTIONAL.

AND NOW ABC NEWS HAS LEARNED THAT SHE ACTUALLY WROTE THIS MESSAGE HERSELF. THESE WERE HER OWN WORDS. SHE WANTED TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE HEART TO HEART IN HER OWN WORDS. AND, YOU KNOW, TERRY, FOR ME, YOU CAN REALLY HEAR IT WHEN YOU LISTEN TO MESSAGE AND YOU HEAR HER TALK ABOUT TELLING

HER CHILDREN. AND SHE SAID YOU KNOW, SHE TOLD THEM, I’M GOING TO BE WELL AND GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY AND I WILL BETTER. AND WELL, SHE’S SO STRONG IN THIS MESSAGE. YOU HEAR THE EMOTION COME THROUGH. AND I THINK THAT’S WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT DELIVERED THIS HERSELF.

A RARE MOVE FOR A ROYAL TO DELIVER MESSAGE PERSONALLY, TO BE SO RAW AND VULNERABLE BUT SO IMPORTANT TO TRY TO CONNECT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT SHE SERVES. AND I THINK THAT’S WHY THEY’RE REALLY RALLYING AROUND HER RIGHT NOW. >> AND IT REMARKABLE IN VICTORIA, THIS IS A FAMILY, THE WINDSORS GOING THROUGH

A LOT RIGHT NOW. THE KING HAS DISCLOSED HIS CANCER DIAGNOSIS, PROSTATE CANCER AND THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE SAYS KATE WILL ONLY RETURN TO HER ROYAL DUTIES WHEN HER DOCTORS GIVE THE. OKAY. HOW HOW IS THAT IMPACTING THE MONARCHY AND THE FAMILY FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND? >> WELL, THEY HAVE REALLY BEEN

THRUST INTO THIS TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION. AND BOTH THE KING AND KATE BEING TREATED FOR UNDISCLOSED FORMS OF CANCER. BOTH HAVE DECIDED NOT TO DISCLOSE WHAT TYPE OF CANCER THEY HAVE, BUT TO SAY THAT THEY ARE BEING TREATED FOR CANCER. AND IN KATE’S CASE, SHE DECIDED TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE FACT

THAT SHE IS HAVING PREVENTATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY. A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY, REALLY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. AND I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT THEIR FOCUS IS ON FOCUSING ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THE HEALTH OF THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS. HOWEVER, THEY ARE TRYING AS AN INSTITUTION TO HAVE SOME KIND

OF SEMBLANCE OF CARRYING ON. SO WE ARE SEEING MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY WHO ARE ABLE OUT AND ABOUT VERY QUEEN CAMILLA HAS HAD, FOR EXAMPLE, A VERY VISIBLE, BUSY PROGRAM OF ENGAGEMENTS. PRINCESS ANNE WAS OUT IN ABOUT TODAY. AND THEN WHEN KING CAN DO THINGS, HE IS VERY KEEN TO DO

AS MUCH AS HE CAN. HE IS STILL HAVING HIS AUDIENCE WITH THE PRIME MINISTER. OTHER SMALL SCALE AUDIENCES. AND WE ARE HOPING AND EXPECTING THAT WE MIGHT HIM AT THAT EASTERDAY SERVICE ON EASTER SUNDAY. SO THEY ARE TRYING TO CARRY ON THAT VERY MUCH PRIORITIZING THE HEALTH OF THESE INDIVIDUALS

AND WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM. AND IN THAT DO FEEL TERRIBLE. THE PUBLIC IS VERY MUCH BEHIND THEM AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW. >> ABSOLUTE AND VICTORIA, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR CORRECTING ME. KING CHARLES HAS NOT DISCLOSED THE CANCER THAT HE IS ADDRESSING.

IT CAME IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING AN EXAMINATION OF , BUT WE UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. SO VICTORIA AND MAGGIE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> SO WE ARE LEARNING NEW DETAILS RIGHT NOW FOLLOWING THAT HORRIFIC A TERROR ATTACK AT A CONCERT HALL IN MOSCOW. OFFICIALS IN RUSSIA SAY

FOUR SUSPECTS ARE IN CUSTODY AND THEY FACE TERRORISM CHARGES AFTER ALLEGEDLY STORMING ONE OF THE LARGEST SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX IN RUSSIA WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS KILLING AT LEAST 137 PEOPLE, INJURING EVEN MORE. ISIS HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY. BUT RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN ISN’T CONVINCED. HE’S INSISTING WITHOUT EVIDENCE AT THIS POINT THAT AFTER

THE SHOOTING, THE MEN WERE HEAD OF THE UKRAINE. LET’S BRING IN OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MARCUS MOORE TRACKING THIS STORY, MARCUS. THE SUSPECTS IN THE TERRORIST ATTACK WERE IN COURT TODAY. >> WHAT HAPPENED? >> WELL, WE KNOW THAT ALL FOUR OF THEM FACED A JUDGE TODAY AND THEY WILL BE HELD FOR

FOR TWO MONTHS FOR PRETRIAL DETENTION AND EACH OF THEM FACE LIFE IN PRISON IF THEY ARE CONVICTED OF WHAT THEY’VE BEEN ACCUSED OF. THEY’RE JUST FOUR OF AT LEAST TEN PEOPLE WHO WERE ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ATTACK . AND, TERRY, AS YOU KNOW, THAT THIS THIS PARTICULAR ATTACK IS SIGNIFICANT FOR

A NUMBER OF REASONS, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF SO MUCH ALL THE CASUALTIES, THE PEOPLE WHO DIED ,BUT IT CERTAINLY IS QUITE FAMILIAR. >> IF YOU RECALL, THE DUBRAVKA THEATER SIEGE THAT HAPPENED BACK IN 2002. SO CERTAINLY THIS INCIDENT WILL HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY THERE IN MOSCOW AND REALLY THROUGHOUT

THE COUNTRY. >> A WHOLE. ABSOLUTELY A SHATTERING ATTACK . AND MARCUS, DESPITE THE CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY COMING, ISIS, AS IS KHORASAN AND THE U.S. CONFIRMING THAT THE ATTACK WAS CARRIED OUT BY ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS, THE U.S. EVEN WARNING AMERICANS IN MOSCOW NOT TO GO TO MASS GATHERINGS IN CONCERTS BECAUSE OF WHAT

THEY HAD HEARD. >> PUTIN IS INSISTING THAT UKRAINE SOME SORT OF ROLE. >> IS THERE EVIDENCE OF THAT? >> MILITARY? I MEAN, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE UKRAINE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY. AND I THINK IT DOES BEG THE QUESTION OF WHY THEN PRESIDENT PUTIN AND OTHERS MAKE

THIS CLAIM. >> I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT HE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR WITH WITH UKRAINE AND IS FACING A LOT OF PRESSURE INTERNALLY DOMESTICALLY. AND NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE THE CASUALTIES, THE LOSS OF LIFE ON THE PART OF THEIR SOLDIERS, BUT ALSO OF THE HIT

ON THE ECONOMY. AND AS YOU KNOW, RUSSIA HAS TRIED TO INSULATE ITSELF FROM, U.S. SANCTIONS, BUT THE ECONOMY HAS TAKEN A HIT. AND SO MANY OBSERVERS ARE SUGGESTING THAT THAT IS THE REASON WHY, AT LEAST TO THE DOMESTIC AUDIENCE, PUTIN TRYING TO SAY THAT UKRAINE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS,

AGAIN, ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT SUGGESTS THIS ALTHOUGH THE SUSPECTS WERE REPORTEDLY, ACCORDING TO RUSSIAN OFFICIALS, ARRESTED ON THEIR WAY TRYING TO GET INTO UKRAINE. ALL RIGHT, MARCUS MOORE IN LONDON, THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THAT. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE UNDER A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT NOW AFTER TORNADOES SLAMMED THE SOUTH.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS DASH CAM VIDEO. THIS IS OUT OF KANSAS. AT LEAST 25 TWISTERS REPORTEDLY TOUCHED DOWN SUNDAY, 25. THEY LEFT A PATH OF DESTRUCTION THERE IN THE MIDWEST. >> BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS ARE HAMMERING SEVERAL STATES. WISCONSIN SAW NEARLY A FOOT OF SNOW. >> IT’S MARCH 11.

STATES ARE UNDER WINTER WEATHER RIGHT NOW. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST SOMARA THEODORE IS TRACKING THE FORECAST. >> SPRING DOESN’T FEEL LIKE IT IN WISCONSIN. AND NOW RIGHT OF WINTER IT FEELS LIKE THERE. BUT SPRING USUALLY SPRINGS FORTH A LOT OF SEVERE WEATHER AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DEALING WITH.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS A YEAR A DAY AGO. SO YESTERDAY MARKS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY THAT. WE SAW THAT DEVASTATING TORNADO ROLL THROUGH ROLLING FORKS. AND HERE GO AGAIN. THEY ARE UNDER THE GUN FOR THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES TONIGHT. SO TRACKING THIS STORM. THIS IS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THIS STORM.

SO WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT ACTUALLY CONNECTED TO THE SNOW FARTHER NORTH IN IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS. >> AS WE TIME THIS OUT, THIS IS 7 P.M. SUNSET STARTING TO SET HERE. NEW ORLEANS, JACKSON, MEMPHIS RIGHT ON UP INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. YOU ALL HAVE THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

THIS COMES THE CHANCE FOR STRONG TORNADOES. THIS ORANGE CIRCLE THAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT IS THE ENHANCED LEVEL. OKAY. WE’VE GOT LIKE FIVE LEVELS IS ABOUT LEVEL THREE. ANY, AS WE SEE, COULD BE STRONG HATTIESBURG, JACKSON OR INSIDE OF THIS ZONE. THIS IS THE TIME NOW WHERE YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE

ALERTS ON YOUR PHONE. NO, DO NOT DISTURB TONIGHT. BE VERY AND AWARE OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A PRETTY BIG THREAT HERE WHEN IT COMES TO SEVERE WEATHER. MEANWHILE, IN THE NORTHERN TIER, THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH SO MUCH SNOW THAT’S LED TO CARS DRIVING THROUGH WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. NOT QUITE YET.

AS YOU STATED, TERRY, WE STILL HAVE STATES UNDER WINTER WARNINGS, BLIZZARD WARNINGS IN PARTS OF COLORADO AND NEBRASKA. THEY’RE STILL ADDITIONAL SNOW TO COME, ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 12 INCHES THROUGHOUT THE PLAINS IN THE MIDWEST. AND AGAIN, I JUST CAN’T THAT ENOUGH, TERRY, WHEN WE SEE THESE NOCTURNAL TORNADOES,

THOSE ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. >> AND I REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR PHONES ON, KEEP THOSE NOTIFICATIONS ON AND BE ABLE TO BE REACHED. >> THAT’S GREAT ADVICE TOMORROW. THANK YOU FOR THAT AND THANKS FOR THE REPORT THERE. APPRECIATE IT. >> WELL, COMING UP, BOEING’S BOSS, HE’S LEAVING THE COMPANY.

THE CEO OF BOEING SAYS HE WILL STEP DOWN AT THE END THE YEAR AS PRESSURE ON THAT COMPANY GROWS OVER SEVERAL DANGEROUS INCIDENTS INVOLVING ITS PLANES. A REPORT IN THE “NEW YORK TIMES” ALSO REVEALED THAT BOEING HAD FAILED 33 OF 89 AUDITS. CONDUCTED AFTER A NOW FAMOUS VIDEO SHOWED A PANEL BLEW OFF

AN ALASKA JET IN JANUARY. IT WAS THIS TRANSPORTATION REPORT OF SAM SWEENEY JOINS US NOW. >> SAM, THE OFFICIAL WORD IS THAT DAVE CALHOUN RESIGNED. >> BUT WITH ALL THE RECENT TROUBLE, DO YOU THINK HE WAS PUSHED? >> TERRY, THAT’S ANYBODY’S GUESS. BUT WE SAW WRITING ON THE WALL,

NO LEADER OR CEO WANTS TO BE A DISTRACTION WHEN COMPANY IS IN CRISIS. AND IT WAS CLEAR THE CUSTOMERS OF BOEING, THE AIRLINES WERE FED UP. THEY WANT THEIR AIRPLANES. THEY WANT THEM RIGHT NOW. AND UNDER DAVE CALHOUN’S LEADERSHIP, THEIR PLANES ARE NOW DELAYED AND SEEING A NUMBER OF ISSUES.

FOR YEARS, EXPERTS AND CRITICS HAVE CALLED OUT BOEING FOR PUTTING THE QUANTITY OVER QUALITY, PUSHING AIRPLANES, WANTING TO PUSH EVEN MORE AIRPLANES THROUGH WHILE THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, NOW WE KNOW CUTTING CORNERS, OF COURSE, THAT ALASKA AIRLINES INCIDENT BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO LIGHT. AND WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

BUT IT’S NOT JUST CALHOUN, IT’S ALSO THE BOARD CHAIR HAS DECIDED THAT HE WILL NOT SEEK REELECTION. AND ALSO THE PRESIDENT AND OF BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES. THIS IS A COMPANY THAT NEEDS NEW DIRECTION AND IT’S ABOUT TO ENTER AN ENTIRE NEW ERA, AS THERE IS NOW A DEMAND FOR ENTIRELY NEW AIRCRAFT.

>> AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN UNDER THE NEXT CEO. >> RIGHT? BIG CHANGES. AND CALHOUN STARTED HIS RESIGNATION LETTER. HE REFERRED TO THE ALASKA AIRLINES AS, QUOTE, A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR BOEING. YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT WHAT AN IMPORTANT MOMENT THAT WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT. YEAH, THAT’S EXACTLY IT.

>> THIS IS WHAT CALLED OUT ALL OF THOSE ISSUES THAT ARE NOW SURFACING. YOU MENTIONED THAT NEW YORK TIMES AUDIT THAT FOUND THAT IN BOEING FACTORIES AND ALSO THEIR SUPPLIERS, THERE WAS REPORTS THAT THEY WERE USING HOTEL KEY CARDS, TEST SEALS AND DAWN DISH DETERGENT. SO AS LUBRICANT, THESE ARE THINGS THAT SHOULDN’T

BE HAPPENING. JUST LAST WEEK, THE HEAD OF THE FAA THAT WHEN HE WENT OUT AND VISITED BOEING FACILITIES, HE COULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE WAS WHEN IT COMES TO SOME OF THEIR PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES IN THE PRODUCTION. THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. AND THEY WERE BROUGHT TO LIGHT

BECAUSE OF THAT ALASKA MOMENT. AND NOW THE COMPANY IS CLEAR THEY NEW LEADERSHIP AND THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO GET AT THE END OF THE YEAR. WE GAVE CALHOUN STEPS DOWN AND IT LOOKS LIKE WALL STREET LIKES IT. RIGHT AFTER THE NEWS BROKE, BOEING’S STOCK PRICE JUMPED.

IS THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, DAY TO DAY TRADERS OR IS THIS A LONG TERM JUDGMENT ON THEY’RE DOING WELL, LOOK, THIS STOCK, YOU KNOW, WILL GO UP AND DOWN, BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY EXCITING NEWS. IF YOU OWN BOEING STOCK, YOU’VE SEEN A TANK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND YOU ARE AS

AN OWNER, YOU NEW LEADERSHIP, YOU WANT CHANGE TO COME TO THIS COMPANY. >> THIS IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY THROUGH AND THROUGH ONE OF THE BIGGEST EXPORTERS, ONE OF THE BIGGEST EMPLOYERS, AND WE NEED THEM TO SUCCEED. >> GREAT POINT, SAM SWEENEY. THANKS VERY MUCH, AS ALWAYS. THANK.

DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST TRIAL IS OFFICIALLY SET FOR APRIL 15TH. IT COMES AFTER THE APPEALS COURT SEEMINGLY GAVE A FINANCIAL LIFELINE TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN A DIFFERENT CASE. WE’RE GOING TO SORT IT OUT AND TELL YOU WHERE THINGS STAND AT THIS HOUR. PLUS, WHILE RUSSIA MOURNS, PUTIN BLAMES THE RUSSIAN

DICTATOR IS POINTING THE FINGER AT UKRAINE FOR THE WEEKEND’S DEADLY A TERROR ATTACK DESPITE ALL THE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. WE’VE GOT THE LATEST THERE AND A ROYAL REVELATION. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE HEALTH OF PRINCESS KATE. AND WE LEARNED ABOUT HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS LAST. HI, EVERYONE. I’M TERRY MORAN.

AND OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR, THAT BREAKING NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK CITY. TRUMP WILL STAND TRIAL OVER AN ALLEGED HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO ADULT FILM STAR STORMY DANIELS STARTING ON APRIL 15TH. THAT’S WHEN THE TRIAL BEGINS. THE JUDGE REJECTED A REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL DELAY RULING

THAT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM DIDN’T PROVIDE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MOVE THE DATE BACK. AS FOR WHETHER OR NOT TRUMP TESTIFY, HERE’S WHAT HE TOLD OUR OLIVIA RUBIN DURING, A PRESS CONFERENCE JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO WHEN HE TESTIFIED. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING. I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING.

>> AND WE’RE GOING TO BE CONCERNED THAT A CONVICTION YOU ARE CONVICTED IN THAT TRIAL COULD BE A LIFE. AND GIVEN OUR COURT AND VOTERS COULD MAKE ME MORE POPULAR BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNOW IT’S A SCAM. >> THIS COMES AFTER A NEW YORK APPEALS COURT SIDED WITH TRUMP IN A DIFFERENT CASE.

THAT CASE ABOUT THE OVERVALUATION HIS ASSETS. THE COURT LOWERED THE AMOUNT HE NEEDS TO COVER SEPARATE CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. TRUMP NOW ONLY NEEDS $175 MILLION BOND, MUCH LESS THAN THE $1,464 MILLION HE ORIGINALLY OWNED. HE HAS TEN DAYS TO COME UP WITH THAT LOWER BOND, PUSHING BACK THE POTENTIAL SEIZURE

OF ASSETS WHICH COULD HAVE STARTED AS SOON AS TODAY. WE’VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE LEADING US OFF RIGHT NOW, ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY. HE’S RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH EXECUTIVE EDITOR PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI, CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY OF HAMILTON CLARK LLP. BRIAN AND CHRIS TIMMINS, FORMER

GEORGIA PROSECUTOR AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR. SO, JOHN, FIRST TO YOU. TRUMP SEEMS VERY EAGER TO TAKE THE STAND IN HIS ANSWER TO OUR OLIVIA RUBIN. WHAT ARE WE HEARING FROM CAMP, HIS LAWYERS ABOUT THIS? YEAH, THAT WAS A REMARKABLE RESPONSE HE GAVE TO OLIVIA TERRY. I MEAN, DONALD TRUMP GOING

ON TO TELL OLIVIA THAT, NOT ONLY WOULD HE TAKE THE STAND, HE THOUGHT IT COULD MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR IF HE WAS CONVICTED IN THIS CASE. BUT LOOK, WITH DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM IS SAYING IS THAT THEY WERE PREPARED FOR THIS TO BEGIN ON APRIL 15. THEY’RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT.

THEY HAD ASKED THE JUDGE TO DELAY THIS 90 DAYS AFTER MORE EVIDENCE WAS OVERTURNED TO IN MANHATTAN FROM FEDERAL PROSECUTORS IN NEW YORK, SOUTHERN DISTRICT. BUT REGARDLESS, TERRY, THEY KNEW THIS WAS THE CASE OUT OF ALL FOUR OF THE CRIMINAL CASES DONALD TRUMP FACES RIGHT NOW, THEY KNEW THIS WAS

THE ONE THAT WAS THE MOST LIKELY TO GO TO TRIAL BECAUSE UP UNTIL THIS DELAY, THEY WERE READY TO GO FROM MARCH 25TH. SO NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES REALLY, WHAT IS THIS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? AND, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP TELLING OLIVIA THAT HE’LL BE READY TO TESTIFY AT SOME POINT. OKAY.

BUT THAT ALSO MEANS TERRY. DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO HAVE TO SIT IN THAT FOR AT LEAST SIX WEEKS LISTENING TO HIS FORMER ONE TIME FIXER, MICHAEL COHEN, AND STORMY DANIELS, AMONG OTHER TRUMP, FORMER AIDES AND ALLIES AND FRIENDSHIPS, YOU KNOW, HIS LONG TIME ASSOCIATION WITH DAVID , THE PUBLISHER OF NATIONAL, ALSO

SPEAKING ABOUT THE CATCH AND KILL SCANDAL THAT HAS BROUGHT TRUMP TO THIS COURTHOUSE. THAT IS ALL GOING TO BE REMARKABLE TO THINK HE HAS TO BE THERE EVERY DAY, BECAUSE THAT IS YOU KNOW, TERRY IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EVERY CASE DONALD TRUMP HAS FACED SO FAR. THOSE CIVIL PROCEEDINGS, THIS

IS CRIMINAL HAS TO BE IN COURT . ABSOLUTELY. SO LET’S GO TO AARON KATERSKY WERE IN COURT TODAY. BREAK DOWN WHAT YOU SAW. TELL US WHAT YOU SAW, WHAT IT MEANS GOING FORWARD. >> TRUMP WAS SEEKING A DELAY OR A DISMISSAL OF THIS, TERRY, AND THE JUDGE WOULDN’T LET HIM DO IT.

APRIL 15TH IS WHEN THIS IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD, BEGINNING WITH JURY SELECTION HERE. AND HE ALMOST SCOLDED TRUMP’S ATTORNEY FOR, EVEN ASKING BASED ON THE IDEA THAT PROSECUTORS COMMITTED MISCONDUCT IN FAILING TO TURN OVER CERTAIN EVIDENCE AS THEY’RE OBLIGATED TO DO. THE JUDGE SAID THAT THE DEFENSE WAS MAKING AN EXTRAORDINARY

ACCUSATION OF WHAT THE PROSECUTORS WERE UP TO, BUT WITHOUT ANY LEGAL CITATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE BACKED HIM UP, SAYING, YOU KNOW, WHICH RULES THEY VIOLATING AND THE JUDGE RAISING HIS VOICE AT ONE POINT SAID YOU’RE MAKING THIS EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM. YOU CAN’T CITE A CASE. HE SAID THAT WAS TROUBLING

AND DENIED TRUMP THE RELIEF HE WAS SEEKING. THE DEFENSE MAY TRY AGAIN TO DELAY THE START OF A TRIAL BEYOND APRIL 15TH BY CLAIMING THERE’S TOO MUCH PUBLICITY ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT BECAUSE OF HIS CAMPAIGN. AND TRUMP TODAY ONCE AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT BEING ON TRIAL WHILE HE’S SIMULTANEOUSLY RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

>> ALL RIGHT, ERIN, THANK YOU FOR THAT. BRIAN, I WANT TO MAKE YOU IN A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT. DONALD TRUMP’S LAWYER FOR, A MOMENT YOU’RE STANDING BEHIND HIM AT THAT PRESS CONFERENCE IS SURE, I’LL TAKE THE STAND. >> YOU’VE GOT TO BE A GOOD IDEA. ANY DRAFTING FROM A LEGAL

STANDPOINT, I’M GOING TO SAY NO. >> OF COURSE, HE’S GOING TO PROBABLY TAKE IT A GREAT FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. BUT THIS IS THE WAY I KIND OF ANALYZE WHETHER OR NOT CLIENT WHETHER YOU’RE DONALD TRUMP OR SOMEONE ELSE AS YOU TAKE THE STAND, WHAT IS HE GOING TO BRING TO THIS CASE

WHEN IT’S A CASE OF HE AND SHE BEING MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS VERSUS WHAT HE THAT BEING DONALD TRUMP, IT’S AN UPHILL BATTLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DOCUMENTATION THAT MICHAEL COHEN IS GOING TO PUT FORWARD AND SAY, THIS IS WHY I SPOKE WITH STORMY DANIELS, THIS IS WHY I PAID HER.

THIS WAS MONEY AND THIS IS WHY I GOT PAID IN TURN IN THESE INSTALLMENTS. WHAT IS DONALD TRUMP GOING TO SAY? PUSH BACK ON THAT OUTSIDE OF WHAT HE’S ALREADY SAID IN HIS CAMPAIGN ARGUMENTS IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE THAT THIS IS A WITCH HUNT, THAT HE

IS THESE CHARGES NOT ONLY FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL, BUT THAT GO TO THE HEART OF THE CASE HERE. SO I DON’T THINK HE’S GOING TO HELP HIMSELF EVEN ON DIRECT EXAMINATION. BUT ON CROSS-EXAMINATION, IT COULD BE BRUTAL AT THE VERY BEST OR IT COULD BE COMPLETELY DAMAGING.

WE’VE ALREADY SEEN HIM TAKE THE STAND IN CIVIL CASES. AND I WOULD ARGUE THAT IN THOSE CIVIL CASES OF HIM TAKING THE STAND AMOUNTED TO FAR MORE DAMAGES THAN WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE HAPPENED. SO FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, I SAY DON’T DO IT. BUT ULTIMATELY, FOR CRIMINAL DEFENDANT, IT’S THEIR RIGHT TO

TAKE THE STAND. AND NO ONE, AS FAR I’VE SEEN, IS GOING TO STOP DONALD TRUMP FROM BEING BEING DONALD TRUMP. AND THAT’S IT. WHICH MEANS GETTING OUT IN PUBLIC AND TELLING HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. SO, CHRIS, LET’S TALK ABOUT JURY SELECTION IN THIS CASE. >> IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGH.

AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THERE’S A KIND OF CARTOON VERSION OF HOW JURIES WORK. MAYBE THIS COUNTRY AND IN THESE KINDS OF CASES, WHICH IS IF YOU’RE IN A BLUE AREA, THAT THAT’S THAT THAT JURY IS GOING TO BE TOTALLY BIASED. IF YOU’RE GOING TO RED,

IT’S GOING TO BE BIAS THE OTHER DIRECTION. >> IS THAT TRUE? >> NOT TOTALLY TRUE, TERRY. I MEAN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU’RE APPEALING TO JURORS SENSE OF FAIRNESS. AND SO A LOT OF IT IS SOME OF THE DEEP PSYCHOLOGICAL ROOTED BIASES THAT PEOPLE BUT A

LOT OF PEOPLE CAN PUT THOSE BIASES ASIDE. I MEAN, THE BIASES THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, YOU KNOW, I TEACH A LAW SCHOOL CLASS HERE AT THE GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY HERE IN ATLANTA, TEACH OF THE COLLEGE OF LAW. WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING DURING JURY SELECTION IS JURORS THAT ARE

ABLE TO PROCESS THE FAIRLY WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE SO PRO FAVOR OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT THAT THEY CAN ONLY ACCEPT GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT HIM. ANYTIME THEY HEAR ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THEY’RE ABLE TO CAST THAT ASIDE IN SOME WAYS SAYING IT’S BIAS OR IT’S UNTRUE OR

THERE’S SOME OTHER ISSUE WITH THAT SAME THING. WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE AS WELL WHO ARE SO BIASED AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT THAT THEY CAN’T ACCEPT ANY GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT THEM THAT CAN EXPLAIN IT AWAY. AND SO WHEN YOU’RE IN JURY SELECTION, WHAT YOUR GOAL IS IS TO ROOT OUT THOSE PEOPLE,

TO GET RID OF THEM, PREFERABLY FOR WHAT’S CALLED A CAUSE STRIKE, MEANING THAT IT’S NOT ONE OF THE STRATEGIC STRIKES THAT YOU HAVE TO USE. YOU TO THE COURT AND SAY, LOOK, THIS PERSON IS OBVIOUSLY PATENTLY UNFAIR THERE’S NO WAY THEY COULD SERVE AS A FAIR JUROR IN THIS TRIAL AND THEY

NEED TO BE REMOVED AND THAT DOESN’T COUNT AGAINST THE LIMITED NUMBER OF STRIKES THAT YOU HAVE ONCE THE ENTIRE JURY POOL IS SELECTED AND YOU’RE DOWN TO THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO BE FAIR IN THE CASE, OR AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CASE

BUT THEY’RE ABLE TO PUT THAT KNOWLEDGE ASIDE AND JUDGE THE CASE BASED ON EVIDENCE AS IT COMES FROM THE WITNESS STAND AND FROM THE DOCUMENTS. AND THEN THEY TAKE THAT AND THEY MEASURE IT AGAINST THE LAW AS IT’S GIVEN TO THEM BY THE JUDGE TERRY. THAT IS THAT IS THE THE

CHALLENGE AHEAD FOR THE LAWYERS IN THIS CASE OF KRISTEN AND BRIAN BUCKMIRE JOHN SANTUCCI AARON KATERSKY. >> THANKS VERY MUCH. WE’RE GOING TO GO RIGHT NOW SOME BREAKING NEWS THERE IT IS. >> BREAKING NEWS WHITE HOUSE NOW. SECURITY ADVISER JOHN KIRBY SPEAKING AT THE DAILY PRESS BRIEFING. A LOT OF NEWS THE WORLD.

>> LET’S LISTEN IN. AND WE GET TO DECIDE WHAT OUR POLICY IS. THE MINISTER’S OFFICE SEEMS TO BE INDICATING THROUGH PUBLIC STATEMENTS THAT WE SOMEHOW CHANGED. HERE WE HAVE IT AND WE GET TO DECIDE WHAT WHAT OUR POLICY IS. >> YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE THE PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE IS CHOOSING TO CREATE

A PERCEPTION OF DAYLIGHT HERE WHEN DON’T NEED TO DO THAT. SO AGAIN, NO CHANGE IN OUR POLICY. AND WHAT DOES THIS DO TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTER? I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE TWO LEADERS WILL HAVE FOLLOW ON DISCUSSIONS AS THEY HAVE AS APPROPRIATE THROUGHOUT THIS CONFLICT.

THANK YOU. AND YOU SAY IT’S NOT A SHIFT POLICY BY VOTING FOR THIS TODAY ,GET SPECIFIC WITH US AS TO WHY AND TO THE CHARGE THAT BY EVEN ASKING BECAUSE NORMALLY YOU’RE MAKING SOME TENTATIVE SECURITY COUNSEL TO THE U.N. OVERALL TO CONDEMN ISRAEL EVERY SO OFTEN FOR WHATEVER REASON,

WOULD YOU PLEASE STAND UP? AND BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT SAYS YOU’RE NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE, THE UNITED STATES IS SUSTAINING AND ALLOWING US TO GO THROUGH THE PERCEPTION BROADLY IS THAT THE U.S. IS NO LONGER GOT ISRAEL BACK WHEN IT COMES TO CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS. THAT’S JUST NOT TRUE.

AND NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH, FRANKLY. OF COURSE, WE STILL HAVE ISRAEL’S BACK. I MEAN, AS YOU AND I ARE SPEAKING, WE’RE PROVIDING TOOLS AND CAPABILITIES, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, SO THAT ISRAEL CAN DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST WHICH WE AGREE IS STILL A VIABLE THREAT TO HAMAS. AGAIN, NO CHANGE BY THIS NON-BINDING RESOLUTION.

WHAT ISRAEL OR CANNOT DO IN TERMS OF DEFENDING ITSELF. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS UP HERE, BRIAN WAS ASKING ME ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW HOW COME IT WAS OKAY FOR OR NOT OKAY FOR RUSSIA AND CHINA TO VETO A RESOLUTION THAT WE DRAFTED ON FRIDAY WHEN WE

VETOED SIMILAR ONES PRIOR TO IT. >> AND I MY ANSWER THEN IS GOING TO BE MY ANSWER BECAUSE OF THE SUBSTANCE OF IT. >> THE ONES WE VETOED DIDN’T CONDEMN HAMAS. THIS ONE DIDN’T CONDEMN HAMAS, WHICH IS WHY WE COULDN’T SUPPORT IT, BUT WE DIDN’T VETO IT BECAUSE. IN GENERAL, UNLIKE PREVIOUS

RESOLUTIONS, THIS ONE DID FAIRLY CAPTURE WHAT HAS BEEN OUR CONSISTENT POLICY WHICH IS LINKING A HOSTAGE DEAL AND THE RELEASE OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN WITH, OF COURSE, A TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE. THERE ARE U.S. OFFICIALS TODAY SAYING NETANYAHU IS ACTING THIS WAY BECAUSE. HE’S FACING SOME DOMESTIC POLITICAL PRESSURE ON DOMESTIC

POLITICAL RECOGNITION. BUT AREN’T THERE ALSO DOMESTIC POLITICAL PRESSURE FACING PRESIDENT BIDEN? >> AND THAT’S PART OF THE REASON WHY ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN. THE I CAN’T SPEAK FOR MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SAYING HE’S DOING THIS ON THE GENERAL PUBLIC SUGGESTING AND SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL WAS IN PLACE.

IS THAT PART OF WHY THIS IS. NO, NO, NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. AND I GOT TO TAKE ISSUE WITH THE PREMISE OF THE QUESTION. THE PRESIDENT MAKES DECISIONS BASED ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES . AND THIS DECISION TO ABSTAIN ON THIS RESOLUTION IS IN KEEPING WITH THE NATIONAL

SECURITY INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES. AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT’S IN KEEPING WITH THE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS OF THE ISRAELI PEOPLE, THE CUSTOMS AND BORDER AND POLICY OF THEIR BORDER PATROL CHIEF SUGGESTED IN AN INTERVIEW THAT THE ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER IS A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT BECAUSE OF THE ROUGHLY 140,000 KNOWN GOT AWAY.

SO THOSE WHO CROSSED THE BORDER AND WERE DETECTED AS CROSSING ILLEGALLY, IS THAT THE OF THE WHOLE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IN THE WHITE HOUSE SITUATION GOVERNMENT AND NATIONAL THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN TO THIS. I MEAN, HE’S TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR KEY CAPABILITIES AT THE BORDER.

>> AND IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE BORDER, IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE BORDER AND THE PRESIDENT’S SURE DOES, THEN WE OUGHT TO GET THAT NATIONAL SECURITY SUPPLEMENTAL PASSED. THAT’S WHAT THAT FUNDING WILL DO. THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH THAT HE CAN DO THROUGH EXECUTIVE IN ORDER TO GET MORE RESOURCES

TO PREVENT MORE PEOPLE FROM GETTING IN ILLEGALLY, YOU GOT TO HAVE FUNDING. BUT A NATIONAL SECURITY IS GOING A LITTLE FURTHER THAN BROAD CONSENSUS. THE MORE SPECIFIC MONITORS OF AVAILABLE INTELLIGENCE AT THE BORDER EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND WE’RE CERTAINLY AWARE THAT THAT THERE COULD BE NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS THAT CAN ARISE.

THE BORDER, WHICH IS WHY WE’RE WE’RE ARGUING SO HARD TO GET ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND CAPABILITIES DOWN THERE TO ISRAEL. I KNOW YOU SAID EARLIER TODAY THAT THE NEED FOR THE KIND OF DEFENSE MINISTER GOHMERT WEREN’T NECESSARILY SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE THE THE DELEGATION THAT WAS TO COME HERE THIS WEEK.

BUT HOW MUCH OF THIS CONVERSATION WITH SENIOR OFFICIALS NATURALLY BECOME ABOUT ALTERNATIVES TO WHAT THE INTENT OF THE MEETING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE? >> WELL, I ALSO SAID I FULLY EXPECT THAT RUFFLE WILL COME UP IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE CONVERSATIONS. >> THE ONE HE’S HAVING WITH JAKE RIGHT NOW.

I THINK HE’S GOING TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN, OF COURSE, AT THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT TOMORROW. ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WE’LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK, RAFAEL. BUT — BUT BUT IF IT PROBABLY WON’T BE A FULL REPLACEMENT FOR WHAT WE ARE HOPING TO DO WITH A BROADER AND LARGER DELEGATION

OF ISRAELI COUNTERPARTS, THAT’S IT. AND I ALSO SAID EARLIER TODAY THAT JUST BECAUSE MEETING IS NOW NOT GOING TO HAPPEN DOESN’T MEAN THAT WE ARE STILL GOING TO LOOK FOR AN AVENUE AND AN APPROACH TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THOSE ALTERNATIVES WITH THE ISRAELIS. >> AND FOLLOWING UP ON WHAT

WE’VE ASKED, DOESN’T PRESIDENT WHOLE EPISODE SPEAK TO A PRETTY POOR STATE OF RELATIONS BETWEEN, U.S. AND ISRAEL RIGHT NOW? AND HOW MUCH IS THE PRESIDENT LOSING THAT TO BELIEVE IT? YOU KNOW, WITH EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENING, ISRAEL STILL A CLOSE ALLY AND A FRIEND, THE DEFENSE MINISTER IS HERE

AS WE SPEAK, JUST IN THE OTHER ROOM. WE STILL HAVE A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH WITH OUR ISRAELI PARTNERS AND WITH THE GOVERNMENT IN PLACE. AS WE’VE SAID MANY TIMES, IT DOESN’T MEAN WE’RE GOING TO AGREE ON EVERYTHING. AND MY GOODNESS WE DON’T. BUT THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS CAN DO. YOU CAN DISAGREE.

YOU CAN HAVE THOSE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ALL RECOGNIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT ISRAEL BE ABLE TO DEFEND ITSELF AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING SURE THAT HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE IS GETTING IN CIVILIAN CASUALTIES COME DOWN AND GET THOSE HOSTAGES OUT. EXACTLY. JUST FOLLOWING ON THAT QUESTION, HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE

THE RELATIONSHIP IN SPECIFIC BETWEEN NETANYAHU WHO AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS HE DIDN’T CALL PRESIDENT BIDEN TO NOTIFY HIM ABOUT THE CANCELLATION OF THIS DELEGATION VISIT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP A NEW LOW? >> I WOULDN’T DESCRIBE IT THAT WAY AT ALL, BUT I DON’T REALLY HAVE MUCH MORE TO ADD.

THINK I GET THE SAME QUESTION ON FRIDAY. THESE ARE TWO LEADERS WHO HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER GOING ON NOW FOR DECADES AND THEY HAVEN’T. THE PAST AGREED ON EVERYTHING AND THEY DON’T AGREE ON EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY BOTH AGREE ON ONE REALLY IMPORTANT THING, AND THAT IS THE IMPORTANCE

OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SECURITY OF THE ISRAELI PEOPLE, THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SURE AN ATTACK LIKE THE 7TH OF OCTOBER DOESN’T HAPPEN AGAIN. >> BUT IS THE PRESIDENT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT RECOMMENDATION NOW MOVING FORWARD IN A WAY HE DOESN’T WANT TO? >> YOU SAID HE’S NOT ABLE

TO HAVE THIS. WE SHOULD. WE HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS ABOUT A MAJOR GROUND OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH THAT WE HAD YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE. AND JUST LASTLY AN ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL SAID THERE COULD BE DOMESTIC POLITICAL REASONS FOR WHY NETANYAHU IN THE WAY HE DID. COULD YOU ELABORATE ON WHAT

THOSE DOMESTIC IN ISRAEL COULD BE? >> YOU KNOW, ADMIRAL, IS IT YOU EXPECTATION THAT THE DEFENSE MINISTER HAS WITH HIM THE OF OPERATIONAL DETAILS YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ON A POTENTIAL MISSION? DO YOU THINK HE POSSESSES THAT? AND WOULD THAT LIKELY UP IN IN THE MEETING? OH HE’S LOOK HE’S IN A TOP

OF THE CHAIN OF COMMAND OF THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES. SO WE’RE QUITE CERTAIN THAT HE HAS ENOUGH VISIBILITY ON WHAT THEIR THINKING IS ABOUT RAFAH TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT IF CHOOSES TO. >> DOES THE PRESIDENT FEEL THE DELAY OF THIS OTHER DELEGATION MEETING THAT HE WANTED?

IS THERE A SENSE THAT THERE IS URGENCY IN TERMS OF LIVES WHEN YOU’RE CONSIDERING HUMANITARIAN? WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR MILITARY OPERATION. DOES HE VIEW KIND OF A DELAY ON THAT SORT OF MEETING AS POTENTIALLY CAUSING MUCH FURTHER HARM TO THOSE IN GAZA OR THIS VERY DELICATE SITUATION?

>> WELL, THERE’S TWO WAYS TO APPROACH THAT. I MEAN, ONE IS WE HAVEN’T SEEN INDICATION THAT THE ISRAELIS ARE IMMINENTLY GETTING READY TO CONDUCT A GROUND OPERATION IN RAFAH. >> WE HAVE NOT SEEN THEIR PLANS FOR THAT, OPERATIONAL PLANS FOR THAT. >> SO THERE’S NO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THERE’S NO SENSE

RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN COMING DAYS, ABOUT WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN, OF COURSE, BE UP TO THE ISRAELIS. SO JUST IN TERMS OF TIMING, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY’RE A WAYS OFF HERE FROM ACTUALLY MOVING INTO RAFAH. THAT DOES THE PRESIDENT FEEL A SENSE OF URGENCY ABOUT THE

SUFFERING IN GAZA, WHICH IS WHY WE’VE BEEN PUSHING SO HARD TO GET ADDITIONAL CROSSINGS, GET MORE TRUCKS, AND EVEN EVEN WHILE WE’RE NEGOTIATING FOR HOSTAGE DEAL, STILL TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO IMPROVE THE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION, THE GROUND CONTINUING TO DO AIRDROPS. NOW WE KNOW WE’VE GOT THIS

TEMPORARY PIER THAT’S AT SEA MOVING ITS WAY OVER TO THE MEDITERRANEAN AS SPEAK TODAY. THE PRESIDENT’S PUT A LOT OF ENERGY AND EFFORT AND MADE THE TEAM, PUT A LOT OF ENERGY AND EFFORT AND EFFORT INTO ALLEVIATING THAT SUFFERING. THERE IS A KEEN SENSE OF URGENCY. I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE ISRAELIS

HAVE CANCELED THIS VISIT, THE U.S. MOVING CLOSER TOWARD WITHHOLDING AIR CONDITIONING WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT SECRETARY AUSTIN RAISE DURING HIS MEETING WITH THE DEFENSE ISRAELI DEFENSE MINISTER I’M NOT GOING TO GET INTO HYPOTHETICALS AND SPECULATE ABOUT THAT. ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. >> WHY DOES THE ADMINISTRATION

BELIEVE THAT THE RIGHT PATH FOR THE HERE IS TO CONDUCT THESE AIRDROPS, TO BUILD THIS PIER, BUT NOT TO LEVERAGE EVERYTHING IT CAN, INCLUDING CONDITIONS ON WEAPONS, OPEN UP MORE LAND ROUTES AND BETTER PROTECT CIVILIANS IN GAZA? WE HAVE I WOULD TAKE ISSUE WITH THIS IDEA THAT. WE’RE NOT LEVERAGING EVERYTHING

WE CAN. FIRST OF ALL, IT’S NOT A LEVERAGING EXERCISE. >> IT’S NOT ABOUT TRYING TO TO TO USE SOME SORT OF POWER DYNAMICS HERE WITH OUR GOOD FRIEND AND ALLY, ISRAEL IS ABOUT HELPING THEM DEFEND THEMSELVES. I THINK WE NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THE 7TH OF OCTOBER, NUMBER TWO, FROM

THE VERY BEGINNING. WE HAVE AT THE SAME TIME AND WE’VE BEEN PROVIDING THEM THE CAPABILITIES WE’VE BEEN ABLE TO INFLUENCE SOME OF THEIR DECISIONS ON THE GROUND AND SOME OF THE WAY THEY PROSECUTED OPERATIONS, INCLUDING INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE THAT GETS IN. IT’S NOT ENOUGH. I RECOGNIZE THAT A LOT

MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE, BUT WE BELIEVE YOU CAN DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. AND THAT’S THE APPROACH THAT WE’VE BEEN TAKING, JOHN, ON THIS RESOLUTION THAT THE US ABSTAINED FOR EXTENDED TO TODAY. AND IT IS WITHIN THE POWER OF THE UNITED STATES TO. BLOCK THE PRIME MINISTER

SAID IT GIVES HAMAS HOPE THE INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE WILL ALLOW THEM TO ACCEPT A CEASEFIRE WITHOUT THE RELEASE OF OUR HOSTAGES. IS HE WRONG? YES DOES THE U.S. STILL HAVE LEVERAGE CHANGE LANGUAGE IN FUTURE RESOLUTIONS NOW THAT THIS LANGUAGE WITHOUT THE HAMAS COMPONENT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE? >> WELL, LET’S JUST JUST VOTED

ON THIS NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TODAY. I DON’T KNOW OF ADDITIONAL TEXT THAT’S COMING, BUT WE’LL TAKE EACH ONE AND TURN IT QUICKLY. >> ON THE BORDER. IS THE ADMINISTRATION STILL CONSIDERING EXECUTIVE ACTION ON THE BORDER? >> I DON’T ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS TO MAKE. WITH RESPECT TO EXECUTIVE ACTION, I WOULD REMIND THAT YOU

SAY THIS ARGUMENT THAT THE PRESIDENT HASN’T TAKEN EXECUTIVE ACTION OR IS JUST NOT TRUE. HE HAS KEPT AMERICAN TROOPS DOWN THERE AT THE BORDER, HAS WORKED AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO TO TO IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO TRY TO THAT FLOW AND TO GO AFTER FENTANYL TRAFFICKERS.

I MEAN, IT’S NOT AS IF HE HASN’T. BUT THERE IS A REAL LIMIT THAT WHAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE. IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE BORDER. AND STEMMING THE FLOW IS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. AND THE PRESIDENT CAN’T SIGN THOSE INTO BEING. YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE FUNDING BEHIND THAT.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR THAT. AND THAT COMES FROM THE PART OF THE PERSON THAT COMES FROM CAPITOL HILL. THOSE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN YOU CAN DO OUTSIDE. I’M NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING MORE HE WOULD OR WOULDN’T DO. I CERTAINLY WON’T GET AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENT’S DECISIONS

BASED ON THIS. BUT THE IDEA THAT HE HASN’T TAKEN EXECUTIVE ACTION WHEN WARRANTED IS JUST NOT TRUE. HE HAS. BUT THERE IS A REAL LIMIT TO EXECUTIVE ACTION IN TERMS OF WHAT’S NEEDED DOWN THERE. >> WHAT’S NEEDED IS FUNDING MORE THAN ANYTHING, AND AGAIN, FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE

EXPRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT THE BORDER, NUMBER ONE, WE SHARE THOSE CONCERNS, WHICH IS WHY PRESIDENT PUT, YOU KNOW, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO A NATIONAL SECURITY SUPPLEMENTAL TO GIVE THE BORDER PATROL, TO GIVE THE CUSTOMS COURTS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES. YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE FUNDING FOR THAT. SO THESE MEETINGS ARE PROCEEDING THAT WAY.

YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT THE POSITION, WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS, WHAT YOU’VE SUGGESTED TO THE ISRAELIS, BECAUSE I THINK WE’RE GOING TO STILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS. >> I’M GOING TO LET THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN BEFORE ANNOUNCING FROM THE PODIUM. >> WE KNOW WHEN THOSE CONVERSATIONS MIGHT HAPPEN

THROUGH THE REGULAR CHANNELS. I WISH I COULD. IS THERE ANYTHING STOPPING I WISH I WISH I COULD RIGHT NOW. >> BUT I MEAN, THIS DECISION JUST HAPPENED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. >> SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE WHERE IT GOES IN A VERY CONSERVATIVE SENSE SUPPORT, A IRAQ OPERATION IN THE FUTURE.

YOU REALLY HAVE TO PERSONALLY, YOU KNOW, WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR. WE DON’T BELIEVE THAT A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION IN IRAQ WAS THE RIGHT COURSE OF ACTION, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU HAVE A MILLION AND A HALF PEOPLE THERE SEEKING REFUGE AND NO CONCEIVED PLAN, NO VERIFIABLE PLAN TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

WE’VE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT ON THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ON THE NON-BINDING, THE U.N. SECRETARY-GENERAL SAID AFTER THE VOTE THIS RESOLUTION BE IMPLEMENTED. YOU SAY IT’S NON-BINDING. SO WHO IS RIGHT HERE? AND IF IT’S NON-BINDING, IF, AS YOU SAY, IT DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING, WHY HAS THE ADMINISTRATION DROPPED SO

MANY PRETTY SIMILAR RESOLUTIONS IN THE PAST? BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T CONDEMN HAMAS. I’VE SAID THAT REPEATED DOESN’T CONDEMN THEM. I CONDEMN HAMAS. AND BECAUSE THEY ALSO JUST CALLED FOR A CEASE FIRE WITH NO LINKAGE TO THE HOSTAGES. THIS ONE THE REASON WHY WE CAN’T SUPPORT IT BUT DIDN’T

VETO IT IS BECAUSE IT DOES LINK HOSTAGES AND CEASEFIRE, WHICH IS IN KEEPING WITH OUR POLICY. >> AND THANKS TO THE BINDING, NON-BINDING, NON-BINDING RESOLUTION, THEY DON’T KEEP UP THE PRESSURE OF WHAT THE PRESIDENT REACTING TO. THE ISRAELI DELEGATION CAN’T PLAN THEIR TRIP. GIVEN THAT YOU HAVE PERSONALLY REQUESTED THAT THEY MAKE THIS

TRIP TO WASHINGTON, HAVE NOT TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT. >> SO I DON’T HAVE THIS PERSONALLY ACTION. OKAY. ON THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION, IF THERE TO BE LANGUAGE ADDED TO IT, UPDATED TO LIVE THAT CONDEMNS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUPPORT THAT RESOLUTION? IS THAT ALL RIGHT? SO THERE IS JOHN KIRBY, ADMIRAL

JOHN KIRBY, THE WHITE HOUSE NATIONAL AGENCY STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR, TALKING TO REPORTERS TAKING QUESTIONS ON ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES TODAY IS THE CANCELLATION BY THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT OF A DELEGATION OF ISRAELI OFFICIALS, SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED BY PRESIDENT BIDEN TO COME AND TALK ABOUT THE UPCOMING ISRAELI OPERATION AGAINST RAFAH, THAT CITY

IN SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE ISRAEL SAYS HAMAS LEADERSHIP IS HIDING, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS WERE TOLD TO FLEE FOR REFUGE. PRESIDENT BIDEN WANTED GET CLARITY ON WHAT ISRAEL’S PLANS ARE TO TAKE CARE THOSE PEOPLE NOT GETTING IT. THAT CANCELLATION BY THE ISRAELIS IS THE US DESCRIBED AS PERPLEXING AND TO

ISRAELI ALLEGATION IS THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS NOW SHIFTED ITS POLICY IN CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE AND ABSTAINING FROM A CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION AT THE U.N., KIRBY SAID THERE’S BEEN NO CHANGE IN POLICY, BUT CLEARLY THINGS ARE NOT GOOD BETWEEN TWO ALLIES. LET’S BRING IN OUR EXCUSE

BRITT CLENNETT IN TEL ON THIS. >> AND BRET, FIRST ON THIS CANCELLATION OF A DELEGATION OF HIGH ISRAELI TO TALK ABOUT HOW ISRAEL IS GOING TO GO FORWARD IN GIVEN THE DESPERATE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION. I MEAN, IT’S A SLAP IN THE FACE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN. HE PERSONALLY REQUESTED IT. ABSOLUTELY.

IT IS QUITE THE TERRY, YOU CAN SAY THAT THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIVERGENCE. IT’S MOMENTS LIKE THIS THAT YOU DO SEE THAT THE TENSIONS ARE BUBBLING UNDER THE SURFACE. AND THIS IS A VERY PUBLIC SIGNAL OF THAT. IT’S ALSO ABOUT THE DOMESTIC AUDIENCE HERE FOR THIS IS ABOUT

STANDING UP AGAINST THE U.S. PRESSURE HAVE SEEN THAT MOUNTING PRESSURE. BLINKEN’S VISIT JUST LAST. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN POINTING TOWARDS THIS IDEA. THE U.S. WANTS ISRAEL TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND REALLY CONSIDER ITS OFFENSIVE IN GAZA. THE BOMBARDMENT OF GAZA, THE MALNUTRITION, THE IMMINENT

FAMINE THAT THE U.N. HAS BEEN SAYING IS HAPPENING. IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN AT ANY POINT. TERRY, THIS THE KIND OF THING THAT THE US IS SAYING THAT IT WANTS ISRAEL TO TAKE THE PEDAL, TO TAKE ITS FOOT OFF THE PEDAL, A ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PLANS TO GO INTO GAZA,

TO RAFAH AND START LAND INVASION THERE. SO THIS AGAIN, WE’RE SAYING THERE’S A KIND OF CRACKS SHOWING VERY MUCH ON THE SURFACE HERE. THE WHITE HOUSE INSISTING IT’S NOT A POLICY OF SHIFT, BUT CERTAINLY DOES SIGNAL A DIVERGENCE WITH ISRAEL. YOU KNOW, IT’S A CHANGE OF POSITION.

THE U.S. REFRAINED FROM A VETO OVER VETOING THIS, WHICH ALSO CALLS FOR THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU, HE’S CALLED IT A CLEAR RETREAT FROM THE PREVIOUS US POSITION TERRY AND. >> BRIT, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU, HIS RESPONSE SOUNDING AND REPRESENTING

AND CLARIFY ME IF I’M WRONG THE FEELINGS OF THE ISRAELI POPULACE AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, PRESIDENT BIDEN LOOKING AT REELECTION, YOU KNOW, HAS A MUTINY. HIS OWN PARTY SMALLISH BUT VERY SIGNIFICANT GIVEN HOW CLOSE THIS ELECTION GOING TO BE. PEOPLE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ON THE LEFT OF, THE DEMOCRATIC

PARTY, WHO ARE VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO WHAT IS HAPPENING, JUST HAPPENING GAZA, BY THE WAY, THE UNITED STATES POLICY IS WORKING OUT. SO THIS IS IN PART DOMESTIC POLITICS IN BOTH COUNTRIES. WOULD YOU SAY? YEAH, THIS IS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ABOUT DOMESTIC POLICY, TOO. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE EVERY

WEEKEND, TERRY, THE ANGER REALLY BOILING OVER TOWARDS NETANYAHU WHO, BY AND LARGE, YOU COULD SAY THE ISRAELIS MIGHT SUPPORT ACTION AGAINST HAMAS BASED ON THE ANGER AFTER OCTOBER 7TH. BUT REALLY, WHEN IT COMES TO NETANYAHU, OPINIONS DO DIVERGE. PEOPLE ARE ANGRY AND THOSE PROTESTS THAT WE SEE EVERY WEEKEND, THEY ARE GROWING.

PEOPLE SAYING THAT NETANYAHU HAS TAKEN IT TOO FAR, THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF THAT HE’S AVOIDING SOME LEGAL BATTLES, THAT HE’S FACING AND THAT THIS IS HIS PERSONAL MISSION, YOU MIGHT SAY. SO, YES. THIS HAS A LOT OF DOMESTIC PLAY HERE, TERRY. ALL RIGHT. BRITT CLENNETT BAER IN TEL

AVIV, THANKS VERY MUCH. >> AND THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US. I’M TERRY MORAN. NEWS NEVER STOPS. NEITHER DO WE. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR. AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK, HAMAS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE,

IT’S NOT A SECRET WORLD WE HAVE. DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SAFE? I DON’T KNOW. THIS IS MY TURN INSIDE, BUT APPARENTLY THIS WAS A CAMOUFLAGED THESE ARE ASSASSINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE. THERE’S REALLY NO TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO. IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. ANYWHERE.

WOW. >> THE INTERNET CAN BE A SCARY PLACE TO HIDE. MY NAME, MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, MY ADDRESS, AND THE NAMES, MY HUSBAND AND SON. >> BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW? WHY DID YOU DECIDE? GIVE ME. I LOVED HIM. IT’S JUST BEEN CRAZY SCARY. >> HE JUST WHOLE FACE LIED

WHEREVER THE STORY IS WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE YOUR ABC NEWS LIVE RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE WE’VE GOT BREAKING NEWS. DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST TRIAL IS OFFICIALLY SET FOR APRIL 15TH. IT COMES AFTER THE APPEALS COURT GAVE A FINANCIAL LIFELINE TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT IN A DIFFERENT CASE.

WE’RE GOING TO SORT IT OUT AND TELL YOU WHERE THINGS STAND THIS HOUR. PLUS, WHILE RUSSIA MOURNS, PUTIN BLAMES, THAT RUSSIAN DICTATOR IS POINTING THE FINGER AT UKRAINE FOR THE WEEKEND’S DEADLY A TERROR ATTACK. DESPITE ALL THE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. WE’VE GOT THE LATEST THERE. AND A ROYAL REVELATION, WHAT WE

KNOW ABOUT THE HEALTH OF PRINCESS KATE. AFTER WE LEARNED ABOUT CANCER DIAGNOSIS LAST WEEK. I WANT I’M TERRY MORAN ON OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR THAT, BREAKING NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK CITY. DONALD TRUMP WILL STAND TRIAL OVER ALLEGED HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO ADULT FILM STAR STORMY

DANIELS STARTING APRIL 15TH. THAT’S WHEN THE TRIAL BEGINS. THE JUDGE REJECTED A REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL DELAY RULING THAT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM DIDN’T PROVIDE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MOVE THE DATE BACK. AS FOR WHETHER OR TRUMP WILL TESTIFY, HERE’S WHAT HE TOLD OUR OLIVIA RUBIN, A PRESS CONFERENCE JUST A LITTLE WHILE

AGO WHEN HE TESTIFIED. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING. I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING. >> AND WE’RE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT A CONVICTION. IF YOU ARE CONVICTED AND THAT COULD COST THE ELECTION, GET IN. ON TOP OF THAT. I CAN ALSO ME MORE POPULAR BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNOW IT’S A SCAM.

THIS COMES AFTER A NEW YORK APPEALS COURT SIDED WITH TRUMP IN A DIFFERENT CASE. THAT CASE ABOUT THE OVERVALUATION OF ASSETS. THE COURT LOWERED THE AMOUNT HE NEEDS TO COVER HIS CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. TRUMP NOW ONLY NEEDS $175 MILLION BOND, MUCH LESS THAN $464 MILLION HE ORIGINALLY OWED.

HE HAS TEN DAYS TO COME UP WITH THAT LOWER BOND, PUSHING BACK THE POTENTIAL SEIZURE OF ASSETS WHICH COULD HAVE STARTED AS SOON AS TODAY. WE’VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE LEADING US OFF RIGHT NOW. EXXON NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY. HE’S RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH THE EXECUTIVE EDITOR, OUR PRODUCER

JOHN SANTUCCI CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY AT HAMILTON CLARK LLP, AND CHRIS TIMMONS, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR. SO, JOHN, FIRST TO YOU. TRUMP SEEMS VERY EAGER TO TAKE THE STAND IN HIS ANSWER TO OUR OLIVIA RUBIN. WHAT ARE WE HEARING FROM HIS CAMP, HIS LAWYERS ABOUT THIS?

YEAH, THAT WAS A REMARKABLE RESPONSE GAVE TO OLIVIA TERRY. I MEAN, DONALD TRUMP GOING ON TO TELL OLIVIA THAT NOT WOULD HE TAKE THE STAND. HE THOUGHT IT COULD MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR IF HE WAS CONVICTED IN THIS CASE. BUT LOOK WHAT DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM IS SAYING IS THAT

THEY WERE PREPARED FOR THIS TO BEGIN ON APRIL 15. THEY’RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. THEY HAD ASKED THE JUDGE TO DELAY THIS 90 DAYS AFTER MORE EVIDENCE WAS OVERTURNED TO IN MANHATTAN FROM FEDERAL PROSECUTORS IN NEW YORK, SOUTHERN. BUT REGARDLESS, TERRY, THEY KNEW THIS WAS THE CASE OUT

OF ALL FOUR OF THE CRIMINAL CASES DONALD TRUMP FACES RIGHT NOW. THEY KNEW THIS WAS THE ONE THAT WAS THE MOST LIKELY TO GO TO TRIAL BECAUSE UP UNTIL THIS DELAY. THEY WERE READY TO GO FOR MARCH 25TH. >> SO NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES REALLY, WHAT IS THIS GOING TO LOOK LIKE?

AND, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP TELLING OLIVIA THAT HE’LL BE READY TO TESTIFY AT SOME POINT. OKAY, FINE. BUT THAT ALSO MEANS, TERRY, DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO HAVE TO SIT IN THAT COURTROOM FOR AT LEAST SIX WEEKS LISTENING TO. HIS FORMER ONE TIME FIXER, MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS AMONG TRUMP, FORMER

AIDES AND ALLIES AND FRIENDSHIPS, YOU KNOW, HIS LONG ASSOCIATION WITH DAVID , THE PUBLISHER OF NATIONAL ENQUIRER. WE’RE ALSO SPEAKING ABOUT THE CATCH AND KILL SCANDAL THAT HAS BROUGHT DONALD TRUMP TO THIS COURTHOUSE. >> THAT IS ALL JUST GOING TO BE REMARKABLE. I THINK HE HAS TO BE THERE

EVERY DAY BECAUSE THAT IS YOU KNOW, TERRY IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EVERY CASE DONALD TRUMP HAS FACED SO FAR. THOSE WERE CIVIL PROCEEDINGS. THIS IS CRIMINAL HAS TO BE IN COURT. ABSOLUTELY. SO LET’S GO TO AARON KATERSKY WERE IN COURT TODAY. BREAK DOWN WHAT YOU SAW.

TELL US WHAT YOU SAW AND, WHAT IT MEANS GOING FORWARD. TRUMP WAS SEEKING A DELAY OR A DISMISSAL OF THIS, JERRY AND THE JUDGE WOULDN’T LET HIM DO IT. APRIL 15TH IS WHEN THIS IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD, BEGINNING WITH JURY SELECTION HERE. AND HE ALMOST SCOLDED TRUMP’S

ATTORNEY FOR EVEN ASKING BASED ON THE IDEA THAT PROSECUTORS COMMITTED MISHCON IN FAILING TO TURN OVER CERTAIN EVIDENCE AS THEY’RE OBLIGATED TO DO. THE JUDGE SAID THAT THE DEFENSE WAS MAKING AN EXTRAORDINARY ACCUSATION OF WHAT THE PROSECUTORS UP TO, BUT WITHOUT ANY LEGAL CITATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE BACKED THEM UP

TO SAY, YOU KNOW, WHICH RULES WERE VIOLATING AND THE JUDGE RAISING HIS VOICE AT ONE POINT SAID, YOU’RE MAKING THIS EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM AND YOU CAN’T CITE A CASE. HE SAID THAT WAS TROUBLING. AND HE TRUMP THE RELIEF HE WAS SEEKING. THE DEFENSE MAY TRY AGAIN, DELAY THE START OF THE TRIAL

BEYOND APRIL 15TH BY CLAIMING THERE’S TOO MUCH PUBLICITY ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF HIS CAMPAIGN. AND TRUMP TODAY ONCE AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT BEING ON TRIAL WHILE HE’S SIMULTANEOUSLY RUNNING FOR OFFICE. >> ALL RIGHT, ERIN, THANK YOU FOR THAT. BRIAN, I WANT TO MAKE YOU IN A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT DONALD

TRUMP’S LAWYER FOR A MOMENT. YOU’RE STANDING BEHIND HIM AT THAT PRESS CONFERENCE. HE SAID, SURE, I’LL TAKE THE STAND. >> YOU’VE GOT TO BE GOOD IDEA. I’M ANY GROUSING FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, I’M GOING TO SAY NO. OF COURSE, HE’S GOING TO PROBABLY IT AS IT’S GOING

TO BE GREAT FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. BUT THIS IS THE WAY I KIND OF ANALYZE WHETHER OR NOT ANY CLIENT, WHETHER YOU’RE DONALD TRUMP OR SOMEONE ELSE, SHOULD TAKE THE STAND WHAT VALUE IS HE GOING TO BRING TO THIS CASE WHEN IT’S A CASE OF HE AND SHE BEING MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY

DANIELS VERSUS HE SAYS THAT BEING DONALD TRUMP, IT’S AN UPHILL BATTLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DOCUMENTARY . AND THEN MICHAEL COHEN IS GOING TO PUT FORWARD AND SAY THIS IS WHY HE’S FOCUSED ON DANIELS ,THIS IS WHY I PAID HER. THIS IS MONEY AND THIS IS WHY I GOT PAID.

TURN IN THESE INSTALLMENTS. WHAT IS DONALD TRUMP GOING TO SAY TO PUSH BACK THAT OUTSIDE OF WHAT HE’S ALREADY SAID IN HIS CAMPAIGN IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE, THAT THIS IS A WITCH HUNT, THAT HE IS TAKING THESE NOT ONLY FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR FOR OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL.

BUT THAT DOESN’T GO TO THE HEART OF THE CASE HERE. SO I DON’T THINK HE’S GOING TO HELP HIMSELF EVEN ON DIRECT ,THOUGH, IN CROSS-EXAMINATION, IT COULD BE BRUTAL AT THE VERY OR IT COULD BE COMPLETELY DAMAGING. WE’VE ALREADY SEEN HIM TAKING THE STAND IN CIVIL CASES.

AND I WOULD ARGUE THAT IN THOSE CIVIL CASES, HIM TAKING THE AMOUNTED TO FAR MORE DAMAGES THAN WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE HAPPENED. SO FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, I SAY DON’T DO IT. BUT ULTIMATELY FOR ANY CRIMINAL DEFENDANT, IT’S THEIR RIGHT TO TAKE THE STAND. AND NO ONE, AS FAR AS I

HAVE SEEN, HAS THE WILL TO STOP DONALD TRUMP FROM BEING DONALD TRUMP. AND THAT’S IT. WHICH MEANS GETTING OUT IN PUBLIC AND TELLING HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. SO, CHRIS, LET’S TALK ABOUT JURY SELECTION IN. THIS CASE, IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGH. AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THERE’S KIND OF CARTOON VERSION OF HOW

JURIES WORK MAYBE IN THIS COUNTRY IN THIS IN THESE KINDS OF CASES, WHICH IS IF YOU’RE IN A BLUE AREA THAT, THAT’S THE THAT JURY IS GOING TO BE TOTALLY BIASED. IF YOU’RE GOING TO RED AREA, GOING TO BE BIASED THE OTHER DIRECTION. >> IS THAT TRUE? >> NOT TOTALLY TRUE.

CHERRY. I MEAN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU’RE APPEALING TO SENSE OF FAIRNESS. AND SO A LOT OF IT IS SOME OF THE DEEP PSYCHOLOGICAL ROOTED BIASES THAT PEOPLE HAVE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN PUT THOSE BIASES ASIDE. I MEAN, THE BIASES THAT WE’RE TALKING AND I TEACH A LAW

SCHOOL CLASS HERE AT THE GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY HERE, ATLANTA TEACHES THE COLLEGE OF LAW. WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR, JURY SELECTION IS JURORS THAT ARE ABLE TO PROCESS THE INFORMATION FAIRLY. WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE SO PRO IN FAVOR OF, THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THAT THEY CAN ONLY ACCEPT GOOD INFORMATION

ABOUT ANY TIME THEY HEAR ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THEY’RE ABLE TO CAST THAT ASIDE IN SOME WAY, SAYING IT’S BIAS OR IT’S UNTRUE OR THERE’S SOME OTHER ISSUE WITH THAT SAME THING. WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE AS WELL WHO ARE SO BIASED AGAINST THE FORMER PRESIDENT THAT THEY CAN’T ACCEPT ANY

GOOD ABOUT HIM, THAT THEY CAN EXPLAIN IT AWAY. AND SO WHEN YOU’RE IN JURY SELECTION, WHAT YOUR GOAL IS, IS TO ROOT OUT THOSE PEOPLE, TO GET RID OF THEM, PREFERABLY FOR WHAT’S CALLED A CAUSE STRIKE, MEANING THAT IT’S NOT ONE OF THE STRATEGIC STRIKES THAT YOU HAVE TO USE.

YOU GO TO THE COURT AND SAY, LOOK, THIS PERSON IS OBVIOUSLY PATENTLY UNFAIR. THERE’S NO WAY THEY COULD SERVE AS A FAIR JUROR IN THIS TRIAL AND THEY NEED TO BE REMOVED. AND THEN THAT DOESN’T COUNT AGAINST THE LIMITED NUMBER OF STRIKES THAT YOU HAVE ONCE THE ENTIRE JURY POOL IS AND

YOU’RE DOWN TO THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE, TO BE FAIR IN THE CASE, OR AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CASE, BUT ABLE TO PUT THAT KNOWLEDGE ASIDE AND JUDGE THE CASE BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AS IT COMES FROM THE WITNESS STAND AND FROM THE DOCUMENTS.

AND THEN THEY TAKE THAT AND THEY MEASURE AGAINST THE LAW AS IT’S GIVEN TO THEM BY THE JUDGE, TERRY, THAT IS THAT IS THE THE CHALLENGE AHEAD FOR THE LAWYERS IN THIS. >> CHRIS TIMMONS BRIAN BUCKMIRE JOHN SANTUCCI AARON KATERSKY, THANKS TO THE DEFENSE LAWYER WHO LED THE FAILED EFFORTS

TO OUST FULTON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY FANI WILLIS FROM THE GEORGIA ELECTION INTERFERENCE, PROSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP AND 18 CO-DEFENDANTS IS SPEAKING OUT NOW. ASHLEY MERCHANT, WHO REPRESENTS MICHAEL ROMAN. HE’S A FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL AND A CODEFENDANT IN THIS CASE WAS THE WHO FILED THAT MOTION THAT ROCKED THIS PROSECUTION, REVEALING

THE ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILLIS AND THE NOW FORMER SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IN THIS CASE, NATHAN WADE. THAT MOTION TO DISQUALIFY WILLIS FROM THE CASE WAS DENIED BY JUDGE SCOTT MCCARTHY, BUT HE NEVERTHELESS EXCORIATED FANI WILLIS FOR SHE HANDLED THE HIRING OF WADE AND HOW SHE TESTIFIED ON THE STAND.

QUOTE, AN ODOR OF MENDACITY CLUNG TO THIS CASE. ASHLEIGH MERCHANT JOINS US NOW. >> THANKS FOR BEING WITH US, JUDGE MACK. YOU BET. SO JUDGE MACCABEE REASONABLY SAID YOU AND THE OTHER CO-DEFENDANTS, THIS CASE CAN NOW APPEAL HIS DECISION TO DENY YOUR MOTION TO DISQUALIFY FANI WILLIS. >> WILL YOU?

WHAT WE ASKED FOR? >> YES, THAT’S WHAT WE’RE ACTUALLY DOING NOW. SO WE’RE PREPARING OUR APPEAL HE GAVE US PERMISSION. BUT IN GEORGIA, WE HAVE TO GET ALSO THE PERMISSION OF THE COURT OF APPEALS. SO THAT’S THE NEXT STEP. SO WE’VE GOT TEN DAYS TO ASK THE COURT OF APPEALS TO GRANT

THAT SAME PERMISSION. IF THEY DO, THEN THE CASE WILL GO TO THE COURT OF APPEALS. IF THEY DON’T, WE WILL ASK THE SUPREME COURT ALSO TO GRANTED. >> I WANT TO COME BACK TO THAT SEQUENCE. BUT FIRST, DID SAID IN YOUR STATEMENT AFTER JUDGE MCCARTHY’S RULING THAT DENIED THIS MOTION

FANI WILLIS IS NOT DISQUALIFIED ,THAT YOU NEVERTHELESS FEEL VINDICATED BY JUDGE ORDER. >> WHY? YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT OF IN FILING THIS MOTION, IT WAS DIFFICULT AND WAS CALLED A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS, A LIAR, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT MOTIVATIONS IN FILING EVERYTHING OTHER THAN JUST DOING MY JOB.

AND I KNEW I WAS JUST DOING MY JOB SO I WAS VERY HAPPY THAT JUDGE MCAFEE SAW THE THINGS THAT I SAW. I SAW THE THE INDECENT WAYS THAT CERTAIN FOLKS RESPONDED. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST THE OBSTRUCTION EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO OBSTRUCT, JUST GETTING EVIDENCE. YOU KNOW, THEY FILED A TON

OF MOTIONS TO QUASH SUBPOENAS, CALL ME A LIAR, REPEATEDLY TRIED TO TURN AND NOT EVEN GET THIS MOTION HEARD. SO I FELT VERY VINDICATED WITH HIS STATEMENTS THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING MORE THAN THAN, YOU KNOW, JUST LIES OR, YOU KNOW, HAD ANY IMPROPER MOTIVES, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO ACTUALLY, I HAVE TO ACTUALLY DESCRIBE THE PROCESS HERE. YOU’VE GOT THE JUDGE MCCARTHY’S PERMISSION TO TAKE APPEAL AT THIS POINT. YOU’VE GOT GOING TO GO TO THE APPEALS COURT, PERHAPS THE SUPREME COURT. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THIS, AN ATTEMPT BY DONALD TRUMP AND THE OTHER DEFENDANTS MICHAEL ROMAN,

YOUR CLIENT, JUST TO DELAY, DELAY, DELAY UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION TO GET THIS OUT OF THE CAMPAIGN? >> YOU KNOW, I’VE HEARD THAT A LOT. I HEARD THAT AS A CRITICISM. BUT THE BEST WAY TO AVOID DELAY WOULD BE FROM AS WELL AS TO STEP ASIDE. SHE COULD HAVE STEPPED ASIDE

ORIGINALLY. SHE COULD STILL STEP ASIDE. IF SHE CHOSE TO DO THAT, THERE WOULD BE NO DELAY BECAUSE. WE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO APPEAL. SO SHE COULD CHOOSE TO STEP ASIDE IN THIS CASE. COULD MOVE FORWARD. BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING MIGHT DELAY A CASE DOESN’T MEAN THAT I CAN AVOID

TAKING A LEGAL PATH I THINK HELPS MY CLIENT, I THINK IS THE FAIR RESULT. WE JUST WANT TO DO TRIAL HERE. WE JUST WANT A FAIR TRIAL. AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN PRESERVE. HIS RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL IS BY CONTINUING TO FIGHT DISQUALIFICATION ISSUE.

>> AND THIS MOTION THAT YOU FILED KNOW TRIGGERED THIS NOT NATIONAL SPECTACLE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF FULTON COUNTY ON THE WITNESS STAND HERSELF QUESTIONING HER ABOUT WHAT YOU BELIEVE OUR GROUNDS FOR HER DISQUALIFICATION PUSHING BACK PRETTY HARD. AT ONE POINT SHE KEEPS BEING CONFUSED. >> THE FACTS JUST I WANT

TO TAKE YOU BACK TO THAT MOMENT FROM RIGHT NOW. >> YOU’RE CONFUSED. YOU THINK I’M ON TRIAL. THESE PEOPLE ARE ON TRIAL FOR TRYING TO STEAL AN ELECTION IN 2020. >> SO THAT WAS THE RETORT. WELL, IT’S ALSO SAID YOU WERE LYING SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE TRIAL.

SO HOW YOU RESPOND TO THAT, THAT THAT REALLY YOU’RE JUST THROWING SAND IN THE GEARS OF A PROSECUTION OF SOMEONE. PEOPLE, INCLUDING YOUR CLIENT, ARE ACCUSED OF VERY, VERY CRIMES AGAINST GEORGIA STATE LAW AND AGAINST THE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. >> IT’S ACTUALLY REALLY EASY ANSWER BECAUSE 99% OF WHAT WE

ALLEGED WAS NOT IN DISPUTE. SO ALL OF THE FACTS I ALLEGED BACK IN JANUARY, THEY DID NOT DISPUTE PROBABLY 99% OF THEM THE ONLY FACTS THAT EVER WERE IN DISPUTE REALLY WHEN THE RELATIONSHIP STARTED. SO, YOU KNOW, BY FILING THIS MOTION, THERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE NOT KNOWN BUT LATER

WERE ACTUALLY AGREED BY THE STATE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE THINGS THAT SAID, OH, YOU’RE A YOU’RE A LIAR, 99% OF THEM WERE PROVEN. AND THE OTHER PERCENT THAT ARE IN DISPUTE ARE THINGS LIKE WHEN THE RELATIONSHIP STARTED AND. WE BELIEVE THAT WE PROVED THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WAS

NOT TELLING THE TRUTH AND THAT THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR WAS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH WHEN THEY SAID THAT IT STARTED AFTER ,SHE HIRED HIM. BUT THAT’S REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT’S IN DISPUTE AT THIS POINT. SO, YOU KNOW, THE STATEMENTS THAT I’M LYING AND ALL OF THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT REALLY

I THAT WAS PROVEN TO BE WRONG AS FAR AS HER ALLEGATIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT MY CLIENT SHOULD BE ON TRIAL, NOT HER. WE CERTAINLY WEREN’T TRYING TO PUT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ON TRIAL. WE WERE TRYING TO TO BRING AND BRING TO LIGHT THE EFFORTS THAT WE THOUGHT SHOULD DISQUALIFY HER.

>> AND HAVE YOU DONE ALL THIS IN THE INTERESTS YOUR CLIENT, MICHAEL ROMAN, OR HIS CODEFENDANT DONALD TRUMP, WAS RUNNING PRESIDENT? >> 100% FOR MY CLIENT. AND I DID THIS. I FILED THIS MOTION ON MY OWN. I, YOU KNOW, DID ALL THE INVESTIGATION ONLY TALK TO MY CLIENT ABOUT IT.

MY CLIENT KNEW ABOUT THE MOTION . OBVIOUSLY, HE APPROVED IT BEFORE I FILED IT. BUT THIS WAS SOME TYPE OF A COLLUDED EFFORT BETWEEN OTHER CO-DEFENDANTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. >> AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT’S EVIDENT BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE HEARINGS THAT HAPPENED WITHIN THE WEEK AFTER I FILED

MY MOTION, DONALD TRUMP’S LAWYER WASN’T EVEN SURE IF THEY WERE GOING TO JOIN IT AT THAT POINT. SO IT’S CLEAR THAT THEY HADN’T EVEN MADE THAT DECISION YET OR NOT. THEY WERE GOING TO JOIN THAT. THEY WANTED TO DO THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION. SO I THINK IT’S VERY OBVIOUS

THAT WE WERE ON AN ISLAND AT THE BEGINNING AND WE WERE THE ONLY ONES PURSUING THIS. AND THEN OTHER PEOPLE, ONCE THEY SAW ALL THE MERITS TO OUR ARGUMENT AND SAW ALL OF THE INVESTIGATIVE EFFORTS AND KNEW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THEN THEY JOINED ON AND THEY WERE WONDERFUL TO DO THAT.

>> BUT THEY DIDN’T DO THAT AT THE BEGINNING. SO I THINK THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION AS FAR AS IF WE WERE FILING IT FOR ELSE’S BENEFIT. >> FAIR ENOUGH. ASHLEIGH MERCHANT, LAWYER FOR MICHAEL ROMAN IN THAT CASE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> NOW TO THE U.K., WHERE REACTIONS AND GOOD WISHES ARE POURING IN AFTER CATHERINE, THE PRINCESS OF WALES, REVEALED THAT SHE’S BATTLING CANCER.

>> WHY DO YOU THINK HE SAW THE HOUSEHOLD AND THE HOUSE? >> YOU KNOW KNOW, THANKS FOR STAYING WITH US. THE CEO OF BOEING SAYS HE WILL STEP DOWN AT THE END OF THE YEAR AS PRESSURE ON THAT COMPANY GROWS OVER SEVERAL DANGEROUS INCIDENTS INVOLVING ITS PLANES. A REPORT IN THE

“NEW YORK TIMES” ALSO REVEALED THAT BOEING HAD FAILED 33 OF 89 AUDITS CONDUCTED AFTER A NOW FAMOUS VIDEO SHOWED A PANEL OFF AN ALASKA AIRLINES JET IN JANUARY. IT WAS JUST TRANSPORTATION. >> SAM SWEENEY JOINS US NOW. SAM, THE OFFICIAL WORD IS THAT DAVE CALHOUN HAS RESIGNED.

>> BUT WITH ALL THE RECENT TROUBLE, DO YOU THINK HE WAS PUSHED? >> LOOK, TERRY, THAT’S ANYBODY’S GUESS. BUT WE SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL. NO LEADER CEO WANTS TO BE A DISTRACTION WHEN THEIR COMPANY IS IN CRISIS AND. IT WAS CLEAR THE CUSTOMERS OF BOEING, THE AIRLINES WERE

FED UP. THEY WANT THEIR AIRPLANES. THEY WANT THEM RIGHT NOW. AND UNDER DAVE CALHOUN’S LEADERSHIP, PLANES ARE NOW DELAYED. >> AND WE’RE SEEING A NUMBER OF ISSUES FOR YEARS. EXPERTS AND CRITICS HAVE CALLED OUT BOEING FOR PUTTING THE QUANTITY OVER QUALITY, PUSHING AIRPLANES THROUGH, WANTING TO PUSH EVEN MORE AIRPLANES THROUGH WHILE

THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, NOW WE KNOW CUTTING CORNERS, OF COURSE, THAT ALASKA AIRLINES INCIDENT BROUGHT EVERYTHING LIGHT AND WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT IT’S NOT JUST DAVE CALHOUN. IT’S ALSO THE BOARD CHAIR HAS DECIDED THAT HE WILL NOT SEEK REELECTION. AND ALSO THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

OF BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES . >> THIS IS A COMPANY THAT NEEDS NEW DIRECTION AND IT’S ABOUT TO ENTER AN ENTIRE ERA, AS THERE IS NOW A DEMAND FOR AN ENTIRELY NEW AIRCRAFT. >> AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN UNDER THE NEXT CEO. RIGHT. BIG CHANGES. AND CALHOUN, SAM STARTED HIS RESIGNATION.

HE REFERRED TO THE ALASKA AIRLINES INCIDENT AS, QUOTE, A WATERSHED MOMENT FOR BOEING. YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT WHAT AN IMPORTANT MOMENT THAT WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT. YEAH, THAT’S EXACTLY THIS IS WHAT CALLED OUT ALL OF THOSE ISSUES THAT ARE NOW SURFACING. YOU MENTIONED THAT NEW YORK TIMES AUDIT THAT FOUND THAT IN

BOEING FACTORIES AND ALSO THEIR SUPPLIERS. THERE WAS REPORTS THAT THEY WERE USING HOTEL KEY CARDS TO TEST SEALS AND DAWN DISH DETERGENTS AS LUBRICANT. THESE ARE THINGS THAT SHOULDN’T BE HAPPENING. JUST WEEK, THE HEAD OF THE FAA SAID THAT WHEN HE WENT OUT AND VISITED BOEING FACILITIES,

HE COULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE WAS SEEING WHEN IT COMES TO SOME OF THEIR PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES IN THE PRODUCTION LINE. THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. AND THEY WERE BROUGHT TO LIGHT BECAUSE OF THAT ALASKA MOMENT. AND NOW THE COMPANY IS CLEAR THEY NEED NEW LEADERSHIP

AND THAT’S ALL THEY’RE GOING TO GET AT THE END OF YEAR WHEN DAVE CALHOUN STEPS DOWN AND IT LOOKS LIKE WALL LIKES IT. SAM BUT RIGHT AFTER THE NEWS BROKE, BOEING STOCK PRICE JUMPED. IS THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, DAY TO DAY TRADERS OR IS THIS A LONG JUDGMENT ON WHAT THEY’RE DOING?

>> WELL, LOOK, THIS STOCK WILL GO UP AND DOWN, BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY EXCITING NEWS IF YOU OWN BOEING STOCK, YOU’VE SEEN A TANK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND YOU ARE AS AN OWNER, YOU WANT NEW LEADERSHIP, YOU WANT CHANGE TO COME TO THIS. THIS IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY

THE SCANDAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST SPORTS SCANDALS WE’VE EVER SEEN

,CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST BASEBALL SCANDALS EVER SEEN. >> OHTANI IS THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN AMERICAN SPORTS HISTORY. ESPN REPORTING HIS INTERPRETER AND BEST FRIEND EPA MITSURU HORO ALLEGEDLY USED THE SUPERSTAR’S MONEY TO PAY OFF AT LEAST $4.5 MILLION TO COVER HIS GAMBLING DEBTS TO A BOOKMAKER WHO IS ALSO

I LOVE THAT ME REPORTING IN PHILADELPHIA, TREVOR AULT. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS. WHAT? RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE, DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST TRIAL IS OFFICIALLY SET FOR APRIL 15TH. THIS COMES AN APPEALS COURT SEEMINGLY GAVE TRUMP A FINANCIAL LIFELINE AND IN

A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TRIAL. WE’RE GOING TO SORT THIS OUT AND TELL YOU WHERE THINGS STAND AT THIS HOUR. PLUS, SIMPLE DISAGREEMENT OR A MAJOR DIPLOMATIC RIFT. ISRAEL IS CANCELING A PLANNED DELEGATION TO THE U.S. AMID DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE U.S. OVER A CEASE FIRE AND A PLANNED OPERATION IN THE SOUTH OF GAZA .

WHERE THINGS STAND THERE AT THIS HOUR. AND RUSSIAN DICTATOR VLADIMIR PUTIN FINALLY BLAMING ISIS FOR THAT BRUTAL TERROR ATTACK IN MOSCOW. DESPITE THOSE COMMENTS, HE’S STILL POINTING THE FINGER AT UKRAINE. >> OUR MARTHA RADDATZ HAS THE LATEST. I WANT ON TERRY MORAN. AND OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR,

DONALD TRUMP WILL STAND TRIAL OVER AN ALLEGED HUSH HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO ADULT FILM STAR STORMY DANIELS. >> AND THAT TRIAL SET NOW FOR APRIL 15TH. THE JUDGE REJECTED A REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL DELAY FROM TRUMP’S LAWYERS, RULING THAT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM DIDN’T PROVIDE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MOVE THE DATE BACK.

THIS COMES AFTER NEW YORK APPEALS COURT SIDED WITH TRUMP IN A DIFFERENT CASE, LOWERING AMOUNT HE NEEDS TO PAY TO COVER HIS SEPARATE CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. TRUMP NOW ONLY NEEDS $175 MILLION BOND. THAT’S MUCH LESS THAN THE 464 MILLION HE ORIGINALLY OWED. HE’S GOT TEN DAYS TO COME UP

WITH THAT BOND. PUSHING BACK THE POTENTIAL SEIZURE OF ASSETS THAT HE OWNS WHICH COULD HAVE STARTED AS SOON AS TODAY. WE’VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE LEADING US OFF ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY AT HAMILTON CLARK LLP, BRIAN BROCKMIRE AND CHRIS TIMMONS, FORMER

GEORGIA PROSECUTOR AND ABC CONTRIBUTOR. SO, OLIVIA, FIRST, YOU WERE ON THE SCENE IN THE COURTROOM, TRUMP’S REMARKS AFTERWARDS, YOU, IN FACT, GOT A QUESTION TO AFTER THIS TRIAL DATE WAS SET. >> TELL US WHAT HAPPENED. THE FORMER PRESIDENT NOT PLEASED ABOUT A TRIAL DATE OF APRIL 15TH BEING SET FOR

THIS HUSH MONEY CASE, SAYING THAT IT SHOULDN’T GO ON AT ALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION. BUT HE SEEMED TO STILL THINK THAT HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DELAY IT, EVEN THOUGH THE JUDGE WAS VERY SAYING, I’LL SEE YOU ON APRIL 15TH. BUT LIKE YOU SAID, I ASKED HIM

A BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT TRIAL MIGHT LOOK LIKE IF HE PLANNED TO TESTIFY. >> TAKE A LISTEN. WHAT DO YOU TESTIFY? >> I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING. I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG. AND WE’RE REALLY CONCERNED THAT A CONVICTION, IF YOU ARE CONVICTED IN THAT TRIAL, COULD

POSSIBLY BE THE AND GETTING ON TOP OF THAT VOTER FRAUD AND ALSO MAKE ME MORE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNOW IT’S A SCAM. IT’S A FASCINATING ANSWER GIVEN THERE HAS BEEN POLLING THAT SOME VOTERS DO NOT THINK THAT TRUMP WOULD BE FIT FOR OFFICE. HE IS CONVICTED OF A CRIME.

SO THIS TRIAL COULD BE A MAJOR TEST FOR HIM IN HIS REELECTION BID. IF IT DOES HARM HIM THERE, HE’S SAYING MAYBE IT’LL HELP THEM. >> YEAH, THAT’S HIS POLITICAL INSTINCT. AND HIS USUAL PANACHE THERE. >> I GUESS, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. >> BRIAN, I WANT TO TURN TO YOU.

TRUMP, AS WE JUST REPORTED. GOT HIM TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, WHAT DO YOU TAKE THE STAND? GOT NO PROBLEM BECAUSE, QUOTE, IT COULD MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR. IS THAT A GOOD LEGAL STRATEGY? I THINK IT’S A GOOD LEGAL STRATEGY. I ALSO THINK THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS LOOKING PAST THIS

CASE AND MORE TO AN ELECTION CYCLE. AND SO HE MIGHT NOT BE FOCUSED ON THE CRIMINAL CASE. BUT AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, AND IF I WAS REPRESENTING HIM, I WOULD BE I WOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT HIS STATEMENTS COULD DO IN TERMS OF FORMING GUILT OR OR EVEN THE EXPLANATIONS

THAT HE GIVES. AND I MAKE THIS COMMENT NOT WEIGHING IN ON WHETHER OR NOT HE’S GUILTY OR INNOCENT. I WOULD SAY THIS IS A PERSON THAT I BELIEVE WAS INNOCENT. I WOULD SAY THIS I’M A PERSON THAT I BELIEVE IS GUILTY. THERE ARE SOME TROUBLES WITH TESTIFYING IN YOUR OWN DEFENSE IN THE

CROSS-EXAMINATION COULD BE LENGTHY, IT COULD BE DAMAGING, AND IT COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOUR CASE. >> WE MIGHT HAVE OTHER AVENUES OF TRYING TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE OR THAT YOU ARE NOT, RATHER THAN TAKING THE STAND. BUT ULTIMATELY AND THE DEFENDANT’S RIGHT TO TESTIFY AND NO ATTORNEY CAN STOP A CLIENT, ESPECIALLY IF

THAT CLIENT IS PROBABLY DONALD TRUMP, THAT’S FOR SURE. >> SO, CHRIS, THIS CASE IS GOING TO GO TO JURY. HOW DO YOU GET A FAIR JURY IN A CASE INVOLVING, DONALD TRUMP IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? >> TERRY, IT’S VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OPINION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE FORMER. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO, YOU KNOW, DISLIKE THE PRESIDENT OR EVEN IN SOME LEVELS HATE THE PRESIDENT. AND SO WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO DO DURING JURY SELECTION IS FIND AT LEAST 12, PROBABLY SOME ALTERNATES AS WELL

AS PEOPLE WHO CAN PUT ASIDE THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT, PUT ASIDE SORT OF INFORMATION THAT THEY MAY HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THIS CASE BY COVERAGE JUST LIKE OURS. AND IF THEY CAN DO THAT, THEN THEY CAN BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURORS. BUT YOU HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT

THERE THAT HAVE SUCH FIXED OPINIONS ABOUT THE VICE CHAIR, ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THAT THEY CAN’T THAT INFORMATION ASIDE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, TERRY. SO IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO YOUR POINT. ALL RIGHT. TALL ORDER THERE, NO QUESTION. CHRIS, BRIAN, OLIVIA, THANKS VERY MUCH. WE TURN NOW TO THE

UNITED KINGDOM WHERE THERE IS GROWING FALLOUT FOLLOWING THAT REVELATION THAT KATHERINE, THE PRINCESS OF WALES, HAS. KATE AND HER HUSBAND, PRINCE WILLIAM, THE PRINCE OF WALES, THE HEIR TO THE THRONE. THEY SAY THEY’VE BEEN, QUOTE, ENORMOUSLY TOUCHED BY THE WELL-WISHES FROM PEOPLE ACROSS THE UNITED KINGDOM AND IN FACT,

AROUND THE WORLD AS WELL. >> PRINCESS KATE ANNOUNCED HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN A VIDEO STATEMENT ON FRIDAY AFTER MONTHS OF SPECULATION, WILD SPECULATION OFTEN ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS AND HER WELL-BEING. SHE ANSWERED THOSE QUESTIONS. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY NOW. SO, VICTORIA, WHAT CAN YOU TELL

US FIRST ABOUT THAT MOMENT THAT WE ALL SAW WHERE HER STATEMENT WAS PLAYED AND RELEASED TO THE WORLD? DISCLOSE THIS DIFFICULT CHALLENGE THAT SHE’S FACING? >> WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW THAT STATEMENT CAME TO BE? >> WELL, WHAT A MOMENT IT WAS, TERRY. I THINK IT’S ONE OF THOSE

MOMENTS WHERE MANY OF US WILL REMEMBER WHERE WE WERE WHEN SHE ANNOUNCED THAT BECAUSE WAS SUCH A SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENT, BUT ALSO THE WAY THAT IT WAS DONE PERHAPS KIND OF WENT SLIGHTLY UNNOTICED IN SETTING A PRECEDENT AT THE TIME, BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE SO FOCUSED ON THE CONTENT OF WHAT SHE WAS SAYING.

BUT ACTUALLY THE FACT THAT SHE CHOSE TO RELEASE THIS NEWS VIDEO MESSAGE WAS AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY TO DO THINGS . MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY HAVE STARTED TO USE VIDEO MESSAGES A LOT IN THEIR WORK, BUT WE’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS FOR A PERSONAL HEALTH . AND I THINK THAT REALLY WAS

A REFLECTION OF THE FACT THAT SHE WANTED TO LOOK THE PUBLIC IN THE EYE AND USE HER OWN WORDS. AND IT’S EMERGED THE WEEKEND THAT SOURCES ARE NOW SAYING THAT SHE WROTE EVERY SINGLE OF THAT MESSAGE HERSELF. I THINK THE FACT THAT KENSINGTON PALACE HAD ORIGINALLY SAID IN JANUARY THAT

IT WASN’T CANCER MEANT WE WERE NOW LOOKING AT SOME INFORMATION THAT WAS REALLY GOING TO SHOCK AND THE PUBLIC. AND I THINK HAVING HER SIT DOWN THERE AND DELIBERATE WAS A REALLY SMART THING TO DO. THE MORE I THINK ABOUT THIS, TERRY, THE MORE I ALSO THINK

OF THIS MESSAGE AS A REALLY DIRECT AND PERSONAL PLEA FOR PRIVACY AND FOR SPACE WHILE SHE IS RECOVERING, WHILE SHE IS RECEIVING HER CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT. HER PRIVACY IS PROTECTED BY LAW AND ETHICS IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT WE SEEN SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF THAT MOTHER’S DAY PHOTOGRAPH VIDEOS AND PHOTOGRAPHS START TO

BE PUBLISHED OVER HERE. AND I THINK THAT BY HAVING HER LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYE AND ASK FOR THAT SPACE AND PRIVACY CAN KIND OF WILL BE HOPING THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GET INTO THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH PUBLICATIONS, THAT TYPE OF FOOTAGE AND IMAGES. >> YOU KNOW, THAT’S A GREAT POINT.

VICTORIA. THIS IS WHAT WHAT MORE DO YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW? ASIDE FROM THAT STATEMENT THAT SHE OFFERED DESCRIBING, YOU KNOW, WHAT SHE’S GOING. SO BUCKINGHAM PALACE HAD BEEN SAYING THAT KATE WOULD RETURN TO HER ROYAL DUTIES EASTER SUNDAY. >> OBVIOUSLY, THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANY LONGER.

BUT GUESS WE WILL BE EXPECTING TO SEE THE KING, KING CHARLES, THEN BATTLING CANCER HIMSELF TO PEOPLE WHO HE CALLED HER, HIS BELOVED DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, FACING THESE CHALLENGES AT THE TIME. >> THE ROYAL FAMILY MUST CARRY ON ITS DUTIES ITS SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY. >> HOW’S THAT WORKING? WELL, YEAH.

I MEAN, THEY’VE BEEN HIT WITH THIS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED NEWS AND. THEY’RE FACING A SITUATION WHERE THE FOCUS HAS TO BE ON THE HEALTH OF THESE INDIVIDUALS AND ON MAKING SURE THAT THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO WHAT’S BEST FOR THEIR HEALTH AND THEIR PERSONAL SITUATION. BUT THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO HAVE

SOME SEMBLANCE, TERRY, OF TRYING TO KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON AND BE VISIBLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL ARE BEING VERY VISIBLE. QUEEN CAMILLA HAS BEEN VERY VISIBLE. PRINCESS ANNE’S BEEN TODAY AND THE KING IS DOING WHAT HE CAN. >> WE ARE VERY MUCH HOPING

TO SEE HIM AT THE EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE. THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED UNTIL THE DAY. >> BUT WE’RE WE’RE HOPING THAT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. ALL RIGHT. WELL WE DO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AND WISH THAT WHOLE FAMILY WELL. LET’S TALK BEFORE THEN. >> VICTORIA MURPHY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NOW OVERSEAS, STAYING OVERSEAS, RUSSIAN OFFICIALS SAY THAT THE DEATH TOLL IS RISING FOLLOWING FRIDAY’S HORRIFIC ATTACK AT A CONCERT HALL IN MOSCOW. AT LEAST 139 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED WITH 200 MORE INJURED AFTER GUNMEN STORMED ONE OF THE LARGEST SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEXES IN RUSSIA WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS.

POLICE SAY FOUR SUSPECTS ARE IN CUSTODY AND THEY FACE TERRORISM CHARGES. ISIS HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY AND HAS NOW SAID THAT THE ATTACK WAS, IN FACT PERPETRATED BY RADICAL ISLAMISTS. BUT PUTIN CONTINUES TO CAST DOUBT ON WHETHER ISIS WAS THE PERPETRATOR OR ACTED ALONE. LET’S BRING IN OUR CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT.

>> MARTHA RADDATZ IS TRACKING THE STORY. MARTHA, THE UNITED STATES, THE VARIOUS CHANNELS TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYONE THAT THERE’S SUPPOSEDLY NO TRACE OF UKRAINE IN THIS ATTACK. >> HOW CAN THEY DO THAT? >> WELL, I THINK THEY WILL JUST SAY AGAIN AND AGAIN, TERRY, THAT THEY HAVE INTELLIGENCE

THAT IT WAS ISIS AND YOU LOOK AT THE WARNING THAT THE U.S. GAVE NOT ONLY AMERICANS LIVING IN RUSSIA OR VISITING RUSSIA, BUT THE RUSSIANS THEMSELVES FROM TWO WEEKS AGO. THEY HAD INTELLIGENCE THAT ISIS ,KAY ISIS-K, IS ON THIS THIS BRANCH OUT OF AFGHANISTAN AND WAS GOING TO ATTACK THERE.

AN ATTACK WAS IMMINENT TO A PLACE WHERE LARGE CROWDS GATHER, SPECIFICALLY SAYING COULD BE A CONCERT HALL. SO THEY CAN SAY, LOOK, WE TOLD YOU TWO WEEKS AGO THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN TERMS OF TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM IT WASN’T UKRAINE. THEY’VE JUST BASICALLY WE’VE HEARD THE VICE PRESIDENT EVEN

SAY TELL OUR RACHEL SCOTT THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE IT WAS. NOW, ARE YOU EVER GOING TO CONVINCE RUSSIA OF THAT? MAYBE NOT. THEY’VE GOT FOUR SUSPECTS NOW. THEY SAY TWO PLEADED GUILTY TO THE CRIME. BUT WE’VE ALSO SEEN THE PICTURES OF THOSE SUSPECTS AND THEY WERE BLOODIED AND BADLY BEATEN, CLEARLY.

AND RUSSIA IS NOT DENYING THAT THOSE MEN WERE TORTURED. THEY ARE WEARING OUTFITS WHEN THEY WERE CAPTURED TO THOSE GUNMEN IN THE VIDEO THAT WE’VE SEEN AGAIN. AND THAT IS NOT A SUSPECT THERE. THAT IS CLEARLY SOMEONE WHO WAS INJURED. BUT IT’S IT’S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU CAN’T PROVE

A NEGATIVE. >> BUT THE U.S. WILL KEEP TRYING. RIGHT. AND I DO WANT TO JUST FOLLOW UP ON THAT, MARTHA, BECAUSE IN THE IN THE CUTTING OF THE PIPELINE, YOU KNOW, IN THE BALTIC SEA, THERE THERE A SENSE AT FIRST THAT UKRAINE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. AND THEN INTELLIGENCE SHOWED

THAT, IN FACT THEY DID. AND THEY HAVE ESSENTIALLY BACKED RUSSIAN OPPONENTS OF PUTIN LAUNCHING ATTACKS INTO RUSSIA. SO DOES THE UNITED STATES. CAN, YOU SAY, CAN’T PROVE A NEGATIVE. ARE THEY CONFIDENT THAT REALLY UKRAINE, WHICH IS FIGHTING THIS WAR, FIGHTING FOR ITS SURVIVAL, HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS?

>> I THINK THEY ARE CONFIDENT TERRY AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT WHAT THE UKRAINIANS WOULD GAIN BY SLAUGHTERING AND MAKING THE WORLD LOOK AT THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO WERE SLAUGHTERED IN RUSSIA. I’M NOT WHAT WHAT UKRAINE WOULD GAIN FROM THEM EITHER. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THE INTELLIGENCE PEOPLE WE

HAVE SPOKEN TO FEEL VERY ABOUT THIS, THAT IT WAS ICIS. THERE IS VIDEO OF FOUR GUNMEN STANDING IN FRONT OF AN ISIS FLAG. AND I THINK WE’LL LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE COMING. >> A GREAT POINT THAT THANK YOU. SO FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WHY IS THIS RUSSIA WHY DOES

ISIS WANT TO HIT RUSSIA? >> WHAT CAN THEY GAIN FROM THIS? WELL, ISIS WANTS TO HIT WHO THEY FEEL IS AGAINST THEM AND THEY’RE RATHER A FORM OF ISLAM, EXTREMELY RADICAL FORM OF. THEY DON’T LIKE THE TALIBAN AND THEY FEEL THAT RUSSIA DOES SIDE WITH THE TALIBAN. PLUS RUSSIA’S INVOLVEMENT IN SYRIA.

IT’S ALL ABOUT GOING AGAINST ANYBODY WHO THEY FEEL IS GOING AGAINST THEM. AND THAT IS A VERY LONG LIST, TERRY, FOR SURE. MARTHA RADDATZ STAYING THE STORY. >> THANKS VERY MUCH. YOU BET. AND WE WANT TO STAY OVERSEAS NOW TO ISRAEL’S WAR AGAINST HAMAS. PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAYING IT’S NO LONGER

THAT THE COUNTRY, ISRAEL, WILL NO LONGER A DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON. THIS WEEK, A DELEGATION INVITED BY PRESIDENT BIDEN CANCELED. NOW IT WAS SET TO DISCUSS ALTERNATIVES ISRAEL TO THAT MILITARY GROUND INVASION. THEY ARE PLANNING AGAINST THE CITY OF RAFAH WHERE SO MANY PALESTINIANS HAVE FLED FOR SAFETY. ALSO TODAY, THE UNITED NATIONS

SECURITY COUNCIL ADOPTING RESOLUTION DEMANDING AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE IN GAZA FOR THE REMAINDER, THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN. THE SECURITY COUNCIL VOTING 14 TO 0 ON THE MEASURE. THE UNITED STATES ABSTAINING. AND IN THE PAST, THEY HAVE VETOED THESE CALLS AT THE U.N. FOR A CEASE FIRE.

LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT IN TEL AVIV AND ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG. BRIT. LET’S START WITH ISRAEL DECIDING AGAINST SENDING THIS DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON. WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU ABOUT THE STATE OF WASHINGTON? TEL RELATIONS RIGHT NOW?

WELL, IT IS A BIT OF A SHOCK TURNAROUND, YOU COULD SAY, AND A DIVERGENCE, BUT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT CONTEXT HERE. NETANYAHU IS FACING A LEGAL BATTLES HERE AT HOME. HE’S FACING GROWING PRESSURE. THIS IS ALSO ABOUT STANDING UP AGAINST THE U.S. PRESSURE. HE’S FACING. WE SAW BLINKEN HERE JUST LAST

WEEK TELLING OF BE TELLING ISRAEL THAT IT NEEDS TO TAKE ITS FOOT OFF THE PEDAL THAT. IT NEEDS TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT THAT THIS BOMBARDMENT IN GAZA IS IS HAVING ON THAT STRIP ON THIS IMMINENT FAMINE THAT THE UN BEEN TALKING ABOUT. A LAND INVASION IN RUSSIA. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT NETANYAHU

HAS SAID IS GOING TO HAPPEN. AND BLINKEN HAS SAID WE WOULD LIKE A MORE TARGETED APPROACH, BUT THAT’S KIND OF FALLEN ON DEAF EARS SO FAR. NOW, ALTHOUGH THE WHITE HOUSE INSISTS THIS IS NOT A POLICY SHIFT, THE U.S. MOVE DOES SIGNAL A DIVERGENCE AS I SAY, WITH ISRAEL.

IT’S A CHANGE IN POSITION. THE U.S. HAS REFRAINED FROM VETOING THE MEASURE, WHICH ALSO CALLS THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. BUT ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, HE CALLS IT A CLEAR RETREAT FROM THE PREVIOUS US POSITION. >> VERY. IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE THAT. SELINA SO HOW IS THE WHITE HOUSE RESPONDING TO PRIME

MINISTER NETANYAHU’S DECISION NOT TO SEND THAT DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON? >> WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU? YEAH, WELL, WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING THAT THEY’RE PERPLEXED AND THAT THEY’RE DISAPPOINTED THAT NETANYAHU MADE THIS DECISION. AND I’M LEARNING THAT NETANYAHU DID NOT. PRESIDENT BIDEN, A, HEADS UP ABOUT HIS DECISION. THERE WAS NO WARNING.

SO HERE IT DOES REPRESENT A CLEAR RIFT THAT IS WIDENING AND GROWING. BIDEN AND NETANYAHU. THIS IS NETANYAHU AGAIN, PUBLICLY REJECTING THE PRESIDENT BIDEN. HE HAD PERSONALLY ASKED FOR THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOW, LOOK, THE WHITE HOUSE IS INSISTING THAT IS NOT A SHIFT IN POLICY. AS BRET SAID EARLIER,

THEY’RE INSISTING THE REASON WHY THEY ABSTAINED RATHER THAN VETO THIS PARTICULAR UNSECURED RESOLUTION IS BECAUSE THERE WERE CHANGES IN LANGUAGE, FOR INSTANCE, TYING THE RELEASE HOSTAGES TO THE CEASE FIRE. BUT THE REALITY HERE IS THAT THIS IS NOTABLE BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE US IS NOT FLAT OUT REJECTING

THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL VOTE. AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS ALSO CRITICIZING NETANYAHU FOR CREATING THE PERCEPTION OF A DISAGREEMENT WHEN. THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE STILL ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT THE ULTIMATE GOALS AND ALSO SUGGESTING THAT NETANYAHU MADE THIS DECISION BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS. SOME SPIN IN THERE POSSIBLY

ON WHAT IS A TOUGH MOMENT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES. SELINA WANG, THANKS VERY BRITT CLENNETT AS WELL. >> WELL, COMING UP, THE UNITED STATES IS NOT RULING OUT CONSEQUENCES FOR ISRAEL IF IT MOVES AHEAD WITH THE INVASION OF RAFAH.

>> THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US. THE U.S. HAS NOT RULED OUT CONSEQUENCES FOR IF IT MOVES AHEAD WITH THE PLANNED GROUND INVASION OF RAFAH THAT CITY IN SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE FLED FOR REFUGE. >> THAT WORD COMING FROM VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS. IN AN EXCLUSIVE WITH ABC NEWS

SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT. >> AND RACHEL JOINS NOW WITH MORE. SO, RACHEL, WE JUST HEARD THAT THE U.S. HAS NOW THAT VETOED, SORRY, ABSTAINED AND ALLOWED TO GO INTO EFFECT, U.N. CALL FOR A CEASE FIRE OVER THERE. THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT USUALLY VETOES THOSE WHAT’S HAPPENING BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE UNITED.

SO ONE, WHAT DO YOU MAKE HOW KAMALA HARRIS WAS HANDLING IT? >> CLEARLY NOT ON THE SAME HERE. AND WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS THIS HIGH STAKES MEETING BETWEEN THE ISRAELI DELEGATION, U.S. OFFICIALS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OCCURRING THIS WEEK. THE UNITED STATES WAS GETTING READY FOR THAT WILL.

NOW THAT IS CANCELED. AND SO I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY CATCH UP WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT. AND I ASKED HIM DIRECTLY ABOUT ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. HE SAYS THAT HE’S MOVING FOR A PLAN TO GO INTO RAFAH WITH OR WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE UNITED. >> TAKE A LISTEN TO HOW SHE

RESPONDED WHEN I ASKED HER ABOUT IT. >> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. I HAVE STUDIED THE MAPS. THERE’S NOWHERE FOR THOSE FOLKS TO GO. AND WE’RE LOOKING AT A MILLION AND A HALF PEOPLE IN RAFAH WHO ARE THERE BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD TO GO THERE, MOST OF THEM.

AND SO WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO MOVE INTO RAFAH WITH ANY TYPE OF MILITARY OPERATION, A MISTAKE, BUT WOULD THERE BE CONSEQUENCES IF HE DOES MOVE FORWARD? BUT WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME. BUT BEEN VERY CLEAR IN TERMS

OF OUR PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT WILL HAPPEN. ARE YOU RULING OUT THAT THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES FROM THE UNITED STATES. I RULING OUT NOTHING. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE BIG QUESTION, BECAUSE THE U.S. CAN WARN ALL THEY WANT. THEY CAN DRAW THAT RED LINE.

BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT IF YOU HAVE THESE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CIVILIAN POPULATION THAT IS RAFAH, AS YOU POINTED OUT. MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO GO THERE AS A SAFE PLACE, A PLACE TO RETREAT TO. SO WHAT IS SHE TO DO ABOUT IT?

WILL THE U.S. ACTUALLY WITHDRAW AID, WITHDRAW WEAPONS? SHE SAYS THEY’RE NOT RULING ANYTHING OUT AS OF NOW, ESPECIALLY GIVEN ISRAEL IN THIS WAR BASED ON THAT OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK. I WANT TO TURN TO POLITICS FOR A MOMENT WITH KAMALA HARRIS. OBVIOUSLY, IN THIS CAMPAIGN GOING TO BE A MAJOR GIVEN JOE BIDEN’S AGE.

HE’S OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL NOW, BUT SHE’S GOING TO BE PICKING UP A LOT OF THAT AND GETTING WHERE SHE IS IN THE POLLS. >> AND GIVEN HIS AGE AND WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO MAKE OF IT. HOW DOES SHE YOU AS A CANDIDATE, AS A CANDIDATE,

SHE DOES WANT TO GET OUT THERE . OBVIOUSLY, WE SEE THIS AS VICE PRESIDENTS DON’T WANT TO GET OUT THERE AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENT TO BE FOLLOWING HIS LEAD A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, I DID ASK HER ABOUT VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IF WE DO NOT SEE JOE BIDEN AND DONALD

TRUMP ON THE SAME STAGE AND ARGUABLY WITH BOTH OF CANDIDATES WITH THEIR AIDES, THERE’S A LOT OF ATTENTION RIGHT NOW. THE VICE PRESIDENT AND TRUMP’S VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PICK HIS MATE. SHE WOULD NOT GO AS FAR TO SAY THAT SHE’D BE WILLING TO GET ON THE STAGE WITH THE RIVAL.

AND WE WILL SEE. WE’VE SEEN THAT FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN AS WELL. HE’S NOT SAYING THAT HE’S WILLING TO DEBATE DONALD TRUMP. AND SO I THINK, LISTEN, THEY’RE PUTTING THIS OFF A LITTLE BIT. THEY’RE TRYING TO WAIT AND SEE WHO WINS THAT. SHE EVEN SAID TO ME, WHO AM I DEBATING THIS POINT?

RIGHT. BUT CERTAINLY THEY’LL HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION ON THAT VERY POSSIBLE. NO DEBATES POSSIBLE. NO DEBATES. RIGHT. RACHEL SCOTT, THANKS SO MUCH. GREAT GUEST. THANKS. THANKS VERY. >> WELL, COMING UP, LOST IN TRANSLATION, THE MAJOR LEAGUE INVESTIGATION INVOLVING ONE OF BASEBALL’S BIGGEST STARS. SAY IT AIN’T SO. SHALL RIGHT NOW.

ILLEGAL SPORTS BETS ALLEGEDLY PLACED BY HIS FORMER LONG TIME INTERPRETER AND FRIEND EPA MAZARA MAZARA WAS FIRED LAST WEEK, IMMEDIATELY, AS THEY FOUND OUT BY THE DODGERS ONCE, THE ALLEGATIONS CAME TO LIGHT. OHTANI, HIS LAWYERS SAY THE SUPERSTAR, HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY OF THIS

>> SO WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THIS INVESTIGATION? HOW MUCH DANGER IS HE AND HOW WOULD IT IMPACT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL? YEAH, TERRY, THERE’S NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT. THIS IS SHOCKING. SHOHEI OHTANI IS THE FACE OF BASEBALL ON TWO CONTINENTS. MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WANTS HIM

OHTANI AND NITA HARA WERE INCREDIBLY CLOSE TO CALLED OHTANI A BROTHER SO THAT HE SPENDS MORE TIME WITH HIM THAN HIS OWN WIFE. THIS IS ALL TRULY BIZARRE HERE. THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT HAPPENED HERE. OHTANI IS SET TO SPEAK LATER TODAY, BUT HE WILL ONLY

BE READING A STATEMENT. HE WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY QUESTIONS. >> DEREK, IF YOU GOT ANY SENSE. VICTOR, THANK YOU. HAVE YOU GOT ANY SENSE WHAT WE’VE ALREADY HEARD FROM HIS CAMP, WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TO HEAR FROM SHOHEI OHTANI? >> WE WILL SEE. HIS CAMP HAS SAID THAT OHTANI

IS THE VICTIM OF THEFT IN THIS CASE. BUT WE SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS PRETTY UNPRECEDENTED HERE. NOW, THE ATTITUDE AROUND, SPORTS BETTING HAS CERTAINLY CHANGED. IT’S MORE AND MORE THE PROFESSIONAL LEAGUES HAVE PARTNERED UP WITH THESE PROFESSIONAL WITH THESE GAMBLING. WELL, ONE THING IS FOR SURE,

DONALD TRUMP’S FIRST TRIAL IS OFFICIALLY SET FOR APRIL 15TH. THIS COMES AFTER AN APPEALS SEEMINGLY GAVE TRUMP A FINANCIAL LIFELINE IN A DIFFERENT TRIAL. WE’RE GOING TO SORT THIS OUT AND TELL YOU WHERE THINGS STAND AT THIS HOUR. PLUS, SIMPLE DISAGREEMENT OR A MAJOR DIPLOMATIC RIFT. ISRAEL IS CANCELING A PLANNED

DELEGATION TO THE U.S. AMID DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE US OVER A CEASE FIRE AND A PLANNED OPERATION IN THE SOUTH OF GAZA ,WHERE THINGS STAND THERE AT THIS HOUR. AND RUSSIAN VLADIMIR PUTIN FINALLY BLAMING ISIS FOR THAT BRUTAL TERROR ATTACK IN MOSCOW. DESPITE THOSE COMMENTS, HE’S STILL POINTING THE FINGER AT UKRAINE.

>> OUR MARTHA RADDATZ HAS THE LATEST. I WANT TO TERRY MORAN AND OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR, DONALD TRUMP WILL STAND TRIAL OVER AN ALLEGED HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO ADULT FILM STAR STORMY DANIELS IN THAT TRIAL SET. NOW FOR APRIL 15TH. >> THE JUDGE REJECTED A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL DELAY FROM

TRUMP’S LAWYERS, RULING THAT TRUMP AND HIS TEAM DIDN’T PROVIDE EVIDENCE TO MOVE THE DATE BACK. >> THIS COMES AFTER A NEW YORK APPEALS COURT SIDED WITH TRUMP IN A DIFFERENT CASE, LOWERING THE AMOUNT HE NEEDS TO PAY TO COVER HIS SEPARATE CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. TRUMP NOW ONLY NEEDS $175 MILLION BOND.

THAT’S MUCH LESS THAN THE 464 MILLION HE ORIGINALLY OWED. >> HE’S GOT TEN DAYS TO COME UP WITH THAT BOND. PUSHING BACK THE POTENTIAL SEIZURE OF THAT HE OWNS, WHICH COULD HAVE STARTED AS SOON AS TODAY. WE’VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE LEADING US OFF ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE

ALONG WITH CONTRIBUTOR TRIAL ATTORNEY AT HAMILTON CLARK LLP, BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND CHRIS TIMMONS, FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR AND ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR. OLIVIA, FIRST, YOU WERE ON THE SCENE IN THE COURTROOM FOR TRUMP’S REMARKS. AFTERWARDS. YOU, IN FACT, GOT A QUESTION TO THEM AFTER THIS TRIAL THAT WAS SET. >> TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

WELL, THE FORMER PRESIDENT NOT PLEASED ABOUT A TRIAL DATE OF APRIL 15TH BEING SET FOR THIS HUSH MONEY CASE, SAYING THAT IT SHOULDN’T GO ON AT ALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION BUT HE SEEMED TO STILL THINK THAT HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DELAY IT, EVEN THOUGH THE JUDGE WAS

VERY CLEAR, SAYING, I’LL SEE YOU ON APRIL 15TH. BUT LIKE SAID, I ASKED HIM A BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT TRIAL MIGHT LOOK LIKE IF HE PLANNED TO TESTIFY. TAKE A LISTEN. WHAT DO YOU TESTIFY? >> I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING. I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG. AND WE’RE GOING TO BE CONCERNED

THAT A CONVICTION CONVICTED IN THAT TRIAL COULD COST THE ELECTION, GET IT ON TIME AS. >> WELL, COULD ALSO MAKE ME MORE POPULAR BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNOW IT’S A SCAM. IT’S A FASCINATING ANSWER, GIVEN THERE HAD BEEN POLLING THAT SOME VOTERS DO NOT THAT TRUMP WOULD BE FIT FOR

OFFICE IF HE IS CONVICTED OF A CRIME. SO THIS COULD BE A MAJOR TEST FOR HIM IN HIS REELECTION BID IF DOES HARM HIM THERE, HE’S SAYING MAYBE IT’LL HELP HIM. >> YEAH, THAT’S HIS POLITICAL INSTINCT AND HIS USUAL PANACHE THERE, I GUESS, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.

BRIAN, I WANT TO TURN TO YOU. TRUMP AS WE AS WELL, LET ME JUST REPORT IT GOT HIM TO ANSWER. QUESTION WHEN HE TAKE THE STAND, YOU’VE GOT NO PROBLEM BECAUSE, QUOTE, IT COULD MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR. IS THAT A GOOD LEGAL STRATEGY? I DON’T THINK IT’S A GOOD LEGAL

STRATEGY, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS LOOKING PAST THIS CASE AND MORE TO AN ELECTION CYCLE. AND SO HE MIGHT NOT FOCUSED ON THE CRIMINAL CASE, BUT AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, AND IF I WAS REPRESENTING HIM, I WOULD BE I WOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT HIS STATEMENTS COULD

DO IN TERMS OF FORMING GUILT OR OR EVEN THE EXPLANATIONS HE GIVES. AND I MAKE THIS COMMENT NOT WEIGHING IN ON WHETHER OR NOT HE’S GUILTY HERE INNOCENT. I WOULD SAY THIS OF A PERSON THAT I BELIEVED WAS INNOCENT. I WOULD SAY THIS IS A PERSON THAT I BELIEVE IS GUILTY.

THERE ARE SOME TROUBLES WITH TESTIFYING IN YOUR OWN DEFENSE. AND THE CROSS-EXAMINATION COULD BE LENGTHY. IT COULD BE DAMAGING AND IT COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOUR CASE. WE MIGHT HAVE OTHER AVENUES OF TRYING TO PROVE INNOCENCE OR THAT YOU ARE NOT GUILTY RATHER THAN TAKING THE STAND. >> BUT ULTIMATELY IT’S THE

DEFENDANT’S RIGHT TO TESTIFY. AND NO ATTORNEY CAN STOP A CLIENT, ESPECIALLY CLIENT IS PROBABLY DONALD TRUMP. >> THAT’S FOR SURE. SO, CHRIS, THIS CASE IS GOING TO GO TO A JURY. HOW DO YOU GET A FAIR JURY IN A CASE INVOLVING DONALD TRUMP IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

>> TERRY, IT’S VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OPINION ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE FORMER PRESIDENT. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO, YOU KNOW DISLIKE THE PRESIDENT OR EVEN IN SOME LEVELS HATE THE PRESIDENT.

AND SO WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO DO DURING JURY SELECTION IS FIND AT LEAST 12, PROBABLY SOME ALTERNATES, AS WELL AS PEOPLE WHO CAN PUT ASIDE THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT, PUT ASIDE ANY SORT OF INFORMATION THEY MAY HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THIS CASE BY FOLLOWING COVERAGE JUST LIKE OURS.

AND IF THEY CAN DO THAT, THEN THEY CAN BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURORS. BUT YOU HAD A OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE SUCH FIXED OPINIONS ABOUT THE VICE CHAIR, ABOUT THAT FORMER PRESIDENT THAT THEY CAN’T PUT THAT INFORMATION ASIDE. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. >> TERRY. SO IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO YOUR

POINT. ALL RIGHT. TALL ORDER THERE. NO QUESTION, CHRIS, BRIAN, OLIVIA, THANKS VERY MUCH. WE TURN NOW TO THE UNITED KINGDOM WHERE THERE’S GROWING FALLOUT FOLLOWING THAT REVELATION, THAT KATHERINE, THE PRINCESS OF WALES, HAS CANCER. KATE AND HER HUSBAND, PRINCE WILLIAM, THE PRINCE OF WALES, THE HEIR TO THE THRONE.

THEY SAY THEY’VE BEEN, QUOTE, ENORMOUSLY TOUCHED BY THE WELL-WISHES PEOPLE ACROSS THE UNITED KINGDOM AND IN FACT, AROUND THE WORLD AS WELL. PRINCESS KATE ANNOUNCED HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN A VIDEO STATEMENT ON FRIDAY. AFTER MONTHS OF SPECULATION, WILD SPECULATION, OFTEN ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS AND HER WELL-BEING. SHE ANSWERED THOSE QUESTIONS.

LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY NOW. SO VICTORIA, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US FIRST ABOUT THAT MOMENT THAT WE ALL SAW WHERE HER STATEMENT WAS PLAYED AND RELEASED TO THE WORLD? DISCLOSING IS DIFFICULT CHALLENGE THAT SHE’S FACING. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW THAT STATEMENT CAME TO BE?

>> WELL, WHAT A IT WAS, TERRY. I THINK IT’S ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS THAT MANY OF US WILL REMEMBER WHERE WE WERE WHEN SHE ANNOUNCED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENT, BUT ALSO THE WAY THAT IT WAS DONE PERHAPS KIND OF WENT SLIGHTLY UNNOTICED TO SETTING A NEW PRECEDENT

AT THE TIME BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE SO FOCUSED ON THE CONTENT OF WHAT SHE WAS SAYING. BUT ACTUALLY THE FACT THAT SHE CHOSE TO RELEASE THIS NEWS BY VIDEO MESSAGE WAS AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY TO DO THINGS. MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY HAVE STARTED TO USE VIDEO MESSAGES A LOT IN THEIR WORK,

BUT WE’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS FOR A PERSONAL HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT. AND I THINK THAT REALLY WAS A REFLECTION OF THE FACT THAT SHE WANTED TO LOOK THE PUBLIC IN THE EYE AND USE HER OWN WORDS. AND IT’S EMERGED OVER THE WEEKEND THAT SOURCES ARE NOW SAYING SHE WROTE EVERY

SINGLE WORD OF THAT MESSAGE HERSELF. I THINK THE FACT THAT KENSINGTON PALACE HAD ORIGINALLY SAID IN JANUARY THAT SHE WASN’T CANCER MEANT THAT WE WERE NOW LOOKING AT SOME INFORMATION THAT WAS REALLY GOING SHOCK AND SURPRISE THE PUBLIC. AND I THINK HAVING HER SIT DOWN THAT AND DELIVER IT DIRECTLY

WAS A REALLY SMART THING TO DO. THE MORE, I THINK ABOUT THIS STORY, THE MORE I ALSO THINK OF THIS MESSAGE AS REALLY DIRECT AND PERSONAL PLEA FOR PRIVACY AND FOR SPACE WHILE SHE IS RECOVERING, WHILE SHE IS RECEIVING HER CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT. HER PRIVACY IS PROTECTED BY LAW

AND ETHICS IN THIS COUNTRY. BUT HAVE SEEN SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF THAT MOTHER’S DAY PHOTOGRAPH VIDEOS AND PHOTOGRAPHS START TO BE PUBLISHED OVER HERE. AND I THINK THAT BY HAVING HER LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYE AND ASK FOR THAT SPACE AND PRIVACY CAN KIND OF WILL BE HOPING THAT THEY DO NOT

HAVE TO GET INTO THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH PUBLICATIONS ABOUT THAT TYPE OF FOOTAGE AND IMAGES. >> YEAH, THAT’S A GREAT POINT. VICTORIA THIS IS WHAT WHAT MORE DO YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW? ASIDE FROM THAT STATEMENT THAT SHE OFFERED DESCRIBING, YOU KNOW, WHAT SHE’S GOING THROUGH? SO BUCKINGHAM PALACE HAD BEEN

SAYING THAT KATE WOULD RETURN TO HER ROYAL DUTIES EASTER SUNDAY. OBVIOUSLY, THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANY LONGER. BUT I GUESS WE WILL BE EXPECTING TO SEE THE KING, KING CHARLES, THEN BATTLING CANCER HIMSELF TO PEOPLE WHO. >> HE CALLED HER, HIS BELOVED DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, FACING THESE CHALLENGES AT THE TIME.

THE ROYAL FAMILY MUST CARRY ON ITS DUTIES, SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY. >> HOW’S THAT WORKING? WELL, YEAH. I MEAN, THEY’VE BEEN HIT WITH THIS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED NEWS. AND THEY’RE FACING A SITUATION WHERE THE FOCUS HAS TO BE ON THE HEALTH, THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS. AND I’M MAKING SURE THAT THEY

DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO DO WHAT’S BEST FOR THEIR HEALTH AND THEIR PERSONAL SITUATION. BUT THEY ALL TRYING TO HAVE SOME SEMBLANCE, TERRY, OF TRYING TO KEEP CALM, CARRY ON AND BE VISIBLE AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE. OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY ARE BEING VERY VISIBLE. QUEEN CAMILLA HAS BEEN VERY VISIBLE.

PRINCESS ANNE’S BEEN UP TODAY AND THE KING IS DOING WHAT HE CAN. WE ARE VERY MUCH HOPING TO SEE HIM AT THE EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE. THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED INTO THE DAY, BUT WE’RE ALL HOPING THAT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE DO LOOK FORWARD

TO THAT AND WISH THAT WHOLE FAMILY WELL. JUST TOUGH MOMENT THEM. VICTORIA MURPHY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> NOW OVERSEAS, STAYING OVERSEAS. RUSSIAN OFFICIALS SAY THAT THE DEATH TOLL IS RISING FOLLOWING FRIDAY’S HORRIFIC TERROR ATTACK AT A CONCERT HALL IN MOSCOW. AT LEAST 139 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED, WITH NEARLY 200

MORE INJURED AFTER GUNMEN STORMED ONE OF THE LARGEST SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEXES IN RUSSIA. WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS, POLICE SAY FOUR SUSPECTS ARE IN CUSTODY AND THEY FACE TERRORISM CHARGES. ISIS HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBLE. AND PUTIN HAS NOW SAID THAT THE ATTACK WAS, IN FACT, PERPETRATED BY RADICAL ISLAMISTS. BUT PUTIN CONTINUES TO CAST

DOUBT ON ISIS. WAS THE PERPETRATOR OR ACTED ALONE. LET’S BRING IN OUR CHIEF GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT, MARTHA RADDATZ, WHO’S TRACKING THE STORY. MARTHA, UNITED STATES THROUGH VARIOUS CHANNELS, TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYONE THAT THERE’S SUPPOSEDLY NO TRACE OF UKRAINE IN THIS ATTACK. HOW THEY DO THAT? >> WELL, I THINK THEY WILL JUST

SAY AGAIN AND AGAIN, TERRY, THAT THEY HAVE INTELLIGENCE THAT IT WAS ISIS. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WARNING THAT THE US GAVE NOT AMERICANS LIVING IN RUSSIA OR VISITING RUSSIA, BUT THE RUSSIANS FROM TWO WEEKS AGO, THEY HAD INTELLIGENCE THAT ISIS-K ISIS-K WAS ON THIS THIS BRANCH OUT OF AFGHANISTAN

WAS GOING TO ATTACK THAT AN ATTACK WAS IMMINENT TO A PLACE WHERE LARGE CROWDS GATHER SAYING IT COULD BE A CONCERT HALL. SO THEY CAN SAY, LOOK, WE TOLD YOU TWO WEEKS AGO THIS WAS GOING HAPPEN IN TERMS OF TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM IT WASN’T UKRAINE. THEY’VE JUST BASICALLY WE’VE

HEARD THE VICE PRESIDENT EVEN SAY, TELL OUR RACHEL SCOTT THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE IT WAS UKRAINE. NOW, ARE YOU EVER TO CONVINCE RUSSIA OF THAT? MAYBE NOT. THEY’VE GOT FOR SUSPECTS NOW, THEY SAY, TO PLEADED GUILTY THE CRIME. BUT WE’VE ALSO SEEN THE PICTURES OF THOSE SUSPECTS AND THEY WERE BLOODIED

AND BADLY BEATEN. CLEARLY. AND RUSSIA IS NOT DENYING THAT THOSE MEN WERE TORTURED. THEY ARE WEARING SIMILAR OUTFITS WHEN THEY WERE CAPTURED TO THOSE GUNMEN IN THE VIDEO THAT WE’VE SEEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. THAT IS NOT A SUSPECT. THAT IS CLEARLY SOMEONE WHO WAS INJURED. BUT IT’S IT’S OF THOSE THINGS

THAT YOU CAN’T PROVE A NEGATIVE. BUT THE U.S. WILL KEEP TRYING. >> RIGHT. AND I DO WANT TO JUST FOLLOW UP ON THAT, MARTHA, BECAUSE IN THE IN THE CUTTING OF THE PIPELINE, YOU KNOW IN THE BALTIC SEA THERE, THERE WAS A SENSE AT FIRST THAT UKRAINE HAD NOTHING TO DO

WITH IT. AND THEN INTELLIGENCE LATER SHOWED THAT IN FACT, THEY DID. AND THEY HAVE ESSENTIALLY BACKED RUSSIAN OPPONENTS OF PUTIN LAUNCHING INTO RUSSIA. SO DOES THE UNITED THE UNITED STATES, AS YOU SAY, CAN’T PROVE A NEGATIVE. ARE THEY CONFIDENT THAT REALLY UKRAINE, WHICH IS FIGHTING THIS WAR FIGHTING FOR ITS SURVIVAL,

HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS? I THINK THEY ARE CONFIDENT, TERRY, AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT WHAT UKRAINIAN WOULD GAIN BY SLAUGHTERING AND MAKING THE WORLD LOOK AT THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO WERE SLAUGHTERED IN RUSSIA. I’M SURE WHAT WHAT UKRAINE WOULD GAIN FROM THEM EITHER. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THE

INTELLIGENCE PEOPLE WE HAVE SPOKEN TO FEEL VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS, THAT IT WAS ICIS. THERE IS VIDEO OF FOUR GUNMEN STANDING IN FRONT OF AN ISIS FLAG. AND I THINK WE’LL LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE COMING DAYS. A GREAT POINT THAT. THANK YOU. SO FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WONDERING

,WAIT, ISIS, RUSSIA, WHY DOES ISIS WANT TO HIT RUSSIA? WHAT THEY GAIN FROM THIS? >> WELL, I JUST WANT TO HIT ANYBODY WHO THEY FEEL IS AGAINST THEM. AND THEY’RE RADICAL FORM OF ISLAM, EXTREMELY RADICAL FORM OF ISLAM. THEY DON’T LIKE THE TALIBAN AND THEY FEEL THAT DOES SIDE WITH THE TALIBAN.

PLUS RUSSIA’S INVOLVEMENT IN SYRIA. IT’S ALL ABOUT GOING AGAINST ANYBODY WHO THEY FEEL GOING AGAINST THEM. AND THAT IS A VERY LONG LIST, TERRY, FOR SURE. MARTHA RADDATZ, STAYING ON THE STORY. THANKS VERY MUCH. >> YOU BET. AND WE WANT TO STAY OVERSEAS. NOW TO ISRAEL’S WAR AGAINST HAMAS.

>> PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TODAY SAYING IT’S NO LONGER THAT THE COUNTRY, ISRAEL, WILL NO LONGER SEND A DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON. THIS WEEK, A DELEGATION INVITED BY PRESIDENT BIDEN CANCELED. NOW IT WAS SET TO DISCUSS ALTERNATIVES FOR ISRAEL TO THAT MILITARY A GROUND INVASION. THEY ARE PLANNING AGAINST

THE CITY OF RAFAH WHERE SO MANY PALESTINIANS HAVE FLED FOR SAFETY. ALSO TODAY, THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL ADOPTING A RESOLUTION DEMANDING AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE IN GAZA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN. THE SECURITY COUNCIL VOTING 14 TO 0 ON THE MEASURE. THE UNITED STATES ABSTAINING.

AND IN THE PAST, THEY HAVE VETOED THESE CALLS AT THE U.N. FOR A CEASE FIRE. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT BRITT CLENNETT TEL AVIV AND ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG. BRIT, LET’S START WITH ISRAEL DECIDING AGAINST SENDING THIS DELEGATION WASHINGTON. WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU ABOUT

THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, TEL AVIV RELATIONS RIGHT NOW? WELL, IT IS A BIT OF A SHOCK TURNAROUND, YOU COULD SAY, AND A DIVERGENCE. BUT, TERRY, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THE DOMESTIC CONTEXT HERE. NETANYAHU IS FACING LEGAL BATTLES HERE HOME. HE’S FACING GROWING PRESSURE. THIS IS ALSO ABOUT STANDING UP

AGAINST THE U.S. PRESSURE. HE’S BEEN FACING. SAW BLINKEN HERE JUST LAST WEEK TELLING THE TELLING ISRAEL THAT IT NEEDS TO TAKE ITS FOOT OFF THE PEDAL, THAT IT NEEDS TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT THAT THIS BOMBARDMENT IN GAZA IS HAVING IS HAVING ON STRIP ON THIS IMMINENT FAMINE

THAT THE UN HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT A LAND INVASION IN RUSSIA. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT NETANYAHU HAS SAID IS GOING TO HAPPEN. AND BLINKEN HAS SAID WE WOULD LIKE A MORE TARGETED APPROACH, BUT THAT’S KIND OF FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. SO. NOW, ALTHOUGH THE WHITE HOUSE INSISTS THIS IS NOT

A POLICY SHIFT, US MOVE DOES SIGNAL A DIVERGENCE, AS I SAY, WITH ISRAEL. IT’S A CHANGE IN POSITION. THE U.S. HAS REFRAINED FROM VETOING THE MEASURE, WHICH ALSO CALLS FOR THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. BUT ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, HE CALLS IT A CLEAR RETREAT FROM THE PREVIOUS US POSITION TERRY.

IT CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE THAT SILLINESS. HOW IS THE WHITE HOUSE RESPONDING TO PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU’S DECISION NOT TO SEND THAT DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON? >> WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU? YEAH, TERRY. WELL, THE WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING THAT THERE ARE PROPOSALS AND THAT THEY’RE DISAPPOINTED THAT NETANYAHU MADE THIS DECISION.

AND I’M THAT NETANYAHU DID NOT GIVE PRESIDENT BIDEN A HEADS UP ABOUT HIS DECISION. THERE WAS NO WARNING. SO HERE IT DOES REPRESENT A CLEAR RIFT IS WIDENING AND GROWING BETWEEN BIDEN AND NETANYAHU. THIS IS NETANYAHU AGAIN PUBLICLY REJECTING THE PRESIDENT BIDEN. HE HAD PERSONALLY ASKED FOR THIS MEETING IN THE FIRST

PLACE. NOW, LOOK, THE WHITE HOUSE IS INSISTING THAT THIS IS NOT A SHIFT IN POLICY. AS BRET SAID EARLIER. THEY’RE INSISTING THAT THE REASON WHY THEY ABSTAINED RATHER THAN VETO THIS PARTICULAR U.N. SECURITY RESOLUTION IS BECAUSE THERE WERE CHANGES IN LANGUAGE, FOR INSTANCE, TYING THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES TO THE CEASE FIRE.

BUT THE REALITY HERE IS THAT THIS IS NOTABLE BECAUSE IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE U.S. IS NOT FLAT OUT REJECTING THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL VOTE. AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS ALSO CRITICIZING NETANYAHU FOR CREATING THE PERCEPTION OF A DISAGREEMENT WHEN THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE STILL ON THE SAME PAGE

ABOUT THE ULTIMATE GOALS AND ALSO THAT NETANYAHU MADE THIS DECISION BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS SOME SPIN IN THERE POSSIBLY ON WHAT IS A TOUGH MOMENT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES. SELINA WANG, THANKS VERY MUCH. BRITT CLENNETT AS WELL. >> WELL, COMING UP, THE UNITED IS NOT RULING OUT CONSEQUENCES

FOR ISRAEL IF IT MOVES AHEAD WITH THE INVASION OF RAFAH. FIND OUT WHAT VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS TOLD OUR RACHEL SCOTT RIGHT NOW. >> THIS IS ABC NEWS. WHY THE PRESSURE IN FAMILIES IN POLAND AT REFUGEE CENTERS IN PUTIN’S RUSSIA ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE CLOSE TO THE FRONT

PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS. IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT. >> JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE. SO, RACHEL, WE HEARD THAT THE U.S. HAS VETOED NOW NOT VETOED, SORRY, ABSTAINED, ALLOWED TO GO INTO EFFECT, THIS U.N. CALL FOR A CEASE FIRE OVER THERE. THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT USUALLY VETOES THOSE WHAT’S

HAPPENING BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE UNITED. SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HOW KAMALA HARRIS WAS HANDLING IT? NOT ON THE SAME PAGE HERE. AND WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS THIS HIGH STAKES MEETING BETWEEN THE ISRAELI DELEGATION AND U.S. OFFICIALS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OCCURRING THIS WEEK.

THE UNITED STATES WAS GETTING READY FOR THAT. WELL, NOW THAT IS CANCELED. AND SO I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH UP WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT. AND I ASKED HER DIRECTLY ABOUT ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. HE SAYS THAT HE’S MOVING FORWARD WITH PLANS TO GO INTO RAFAH WITH OR WITHOUT

THE SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES. TAKE A LISTEN TO HOW SHE RESPONDED. WHEN I ASKED HER ABOUT IT. >> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. I HAVE STUDIED THE MAPS. THERE’S NOWHERE FOR THOSE FOLKS TO GO. AND WE’RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PEOPLE IN

RAFAH WHO ARE THERE BECAUSE. THEY WERE TOLD TO GO THERE, MOST OF THEM. AND SO WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO MOVE INTO RAFAH WITH ANY TYPE OF MILITARY OPERATION, A MISTAKE, BUT WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES IF HE DOES MOVE FORWARD. WELL, WE’RE TO TAKE IT ONE STEP

AT A TIME, BUT WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR IN TERMS OF OUR PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER OR NOT, THAT SHOULD HAPPEN. >> ARE YOU RULING OUT THAT THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES FROM THE UNITED STATES? >> I AM RULING OUT NOTHING. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE BIG QUESTION, BECAUSE THE U.S. CAN

MOURN ALL THEY WANT. THEY CAN DRAW THAT RED LINE. BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING DO ABOUT IT IF YOU HAVE THESE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CIVILIAN POPULATION THAT IS IN RAFAH, AS SHE POINTED OUT, MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO GO THERE, A SAFE PLACE, A PLACE TO RETREAT TO.

SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? WILL THE U.S. ACTUALLY WITHDRAW AID, WITHDRAW WEAPONS? SHE SAYS THEY’RE NOT RULING ANYTHING OUT AS OF NOW, ESPECIALLY GIVEN ISRAEL IN THIS WAR BASED THAT OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK. I WANT TO TURN TO POLITICS FOR A MOMENT. THE COMMON ERRORS, OBVIOUSLY,

IN THIS CAMPAIGN GOING TO BE A MAJOR FACTOR GIVEN JOE BIDEN’S AGE. HE’S OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL NOW, BUT GOING TO BE PICKING UP A LOT OF THAT. >> AND GIVEN WHERE SHE IS IN THE POLLS AND GIVEN HIS AGE AND WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO MAKE OF IT,

HOW DID SHE STRIKE AS A CANDIDATE? >> AS A CANDIDATE? SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GET OUT THERE. OBVIOUSLY, WE SEE AS VICE PRESIDENTS DON’T WANT TO GET OUT THERE AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENT. SEEMS TO BE FOLLOWING LEAD A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, I DID ASK HER ABOUT THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IF WE DO NOT SEE JOE BIDEN AND DONALD TRUMP ON THE SAME STAGE AND ARGUABLY WITH BOTH OF THOSE CANDIDATES, THEIR AIDES, THERE’S A LOT OF ATTENTION RIGHT NOW ON THE VICE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PICK HIS RUNNING MATE. SHE WOULD NOT GO AS FAR TO SAY

THAT SHE’D BE WILLING TO GET ON THE STAGE WITH A RIVAL, AND WE WILL SEE IT. WE’VE SEEN THAT FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN. WELL, HE’S NOT SAYING THAT HE’S WILLING TO DEBATE DONALD TRUMP. AND SO THINK LISTEN, THEY’RE PUTTING THIS OFF A LITTLE BIT. THEY’RE TRYING TO WAIT AND SEE WHO WINS THAT?

HE EVEN SAID TO ME, WHO AM I DEBATING AT THIS POINT? RIGHT. BUT CERTAINLY THEY’LL HAVE TO BE MAKING A DECISION ON THAT. VERY POSSIBLE. NO DEBATES, THEN? POSSIBLE. NO DEBATES.

THERE’S ALSO, AS WE UNDERSTAND ,SEARCH BEING CONDUCTED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY IN MIAMI, BECAUSE WE ARE HEARING FROM HOMELAND SECURITY THAT THERE ARE INVESTIGATIONS GOING

ON USING THE ASSISTANCE OF HCI ,LOS ANGELES AND HCI MIAMI ALONG WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS. WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE US WITH UPDATES AS POSSIBLE. BUT THIS GOES INTO MULTIPLE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SEAN DIDDY COMBS. THE YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CIVIL SUITS AGAINST HIM AS WELL, INCLUDING HUMAN

TRAFFICKING, ALL OF WHICH HE HAS DENIED AS THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING. BUT AGAIN, CLEARLY AN ESCALATION THAT WE ARE SEEING PLAY OUT LIVE RIGHT NOW, LOS ANGELES. I WANT TO BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE, WHO I KNOW. BRIAN, YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS CASE FOR MANY MONTHS

AND YOU BRING IT UP TO ME ALL THE TIME. NOW, I WOULDN’T CALL THIS THE CULMINATION. IN FACT, PROBABLY THIS IS THE BEGINNING. RIGHT. SO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE FACT THAT THEY’VE DECIDED CARRY OUT THESE TWO SEARCHES SIMULTANEOUSLY AND ON SIDES OF THE COUNTRY HERE? >> SO YOU’RE RIGHT.

I’VE BEEN TALKING TO THOSE ABOUT THIS FAR TOO LONG. BUT WHAT WHAT DOES IT GET YOU? >> WHAT DOES A PERSON NEED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEARCH A HOME? PROBABLE CAUSE SO WHAT I’M DOING IS I’M LOOKING BACKWARDS. HOW COULD A JUDGE GRANT THE ABILITY SEARCH THESE TWO HOMES?

AND WHY WOULD YOU DO IT SIMULTANEOUSLY? PROBABLE CAUSE BEING BELIEF, OR AT LEAST HAVING THE QUANTITY OF INFORMATION THE CRIME EITHER DID HAPPEN IS HAPPENING OR IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THAT’S HOW ENFORCEMENT MUST HAVE TO PROVE TO A JUDGE OR A COURT WHY THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OR THE LEGAL

ABILITY TO SEARCH SOMEONE’S HOME. NOW, WHY WOULD YOU DO IT IN CONJUNCTION FROM ONE PROPERTY AND ANOTHER AT THE SAME? LAW ENFORCEMENT TYPICALLY DOES THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED THAT INFORMATION OR PROPERTY OR EVIDENCE MAY BE HIDDEN AWAY OR WHILE YOU’RE SEARCHING ONE PROPERTY. AND SO THEY’RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING CORROBORATE

THE BELIEF THAT THEY HAVE THAT A CRIME DID OCCUR. AND AS YOU POINTED EARLIER, HE’S FACING MULTIPLE ALLEGATIONS OF TRAFFICKING. PERHAPS THAT IS A CRIME IN WHICH THEY’RE INVESTIGATING, PERHAPS THAT IS WHY THEY’RE TRYING TO SEEK MORE INFORMATION FROM. BUT IN ORDER TO SEARCH A HOME,

YOU HAVE TO PROBABLE CAUSE. >> THE ONLY QUESTION IS PROBABLE CAUSE OF WHAT? PROBABLE CAUSE. AND SO, BRIAN, AS YOU LOOK AT THIS AND WATCH THIS AND WILL SHOUT IF WE SEE ANYTHING, ANY MORE MOVEMENT ON THESE SCREENS ,BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, RIGHT, THAT THIS IS ALL

BEING RUN OUT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF, NEW YORK HERE. SO THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COORDINATION HAPPENING WITHIN LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND THE REASON WHY? I BELIEVE IT’S BEING COORDINATED OUT OF THE CITY. AND WHY ARE THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

ENCOMPASSES, FOR THE MOST PART, MANHATTAN IS A LOT OF THE SIMILAR ALLEGATION STEMMING FROM THERE, WHETHER IT BE CASSIE OR THE OTHER FOUR ALLEGATIONS OR CIVIL LAWSUITS THAT STEMMED FROM IT AFTERWARDS. AND SO WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE, IT MEANS IF YOU’RE THINKING THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE CIVIL

LAWSUITS, ARE THAT THE FDNY IS COORDINATING WITH THE OTHER AGENCIES IN MIAMI, AS WELL AS LOS ANGELES, TO SEARCH THE PROPERTIES OF SEAN COMBS TO SEE IF THERE’S ANY EVIDENCE OF THAT. NOW, I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. WHAT WOULD BE EVIDENCE OF TRAFFICKING PREDOMINANTLY,

SOMETHING THAT MIGHT STICK OUT AS TO SOMETHING TO CORROBORATE WHAT HEARD THESE CIVIL ALLEGATIONS. BUT IF THEY FIND IT, IT COULD TO FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS. AT THIS POINT, WE’RE HEARING THAT THERE’S NO POTENTIAL ARRESTS, BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY WANT TO BE ONE IN THE FUTURE BASED ON EITHER MORE INFORMATION OR IF THERE

ARE FINDING WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY’RE HOPING TO FIND A MEANS TO LOCATIONS. >> AND BRIAN, WE DO WANT TO MENTION THAT WE WERE INITIALLY WHAT WE’RE SHOWING OUR VIEWERS HERE IS A HOME IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA NEAR BEVERLY HILLS. THAT IS NOT THE CASE OF WHAT YOU’RE SEEING ON YOUR VIDEO

ON YOUR SCREEN IS, IN FACT, MIAMI. AND THEN THEY ARE ALSO SEARCHING A HOME SIMULTANEOUSLY IN LOS ANGELES, IN THE BEVERLY HILLS AREA, THE EXACT SAME TIME. AND TO BRIAN’S POINT HERE, THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT OFTEN IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE SEARCHES CAN BE CONDUCTED WITHOUT SORT

OF TIPPING OFF ANYONE ELSE THAT MIGHT BE INVOLVED BUT DOESN’T ANYONE ANY TIME TO DO ANYTHING QUESTIONABLE WITH EVIDENCE. SO YOU’RE GETTING A LARGER SHOT THERE. YOU CAN SEE NOW HOW CLOSE THAT HOME IS TO THE WATER. AS OUR AFFILIATE HELICOPTER IS FLYING OVER THIS HOME AGAIN

IN MIAMI, AS IT IS BEING SEARCHED AND. AND I WANT TO NOW BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER FBI AGENT BRAD GARRETT BRIAN BUCKMIRE. DON’T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE I HAVE SEVERAL MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU AS WELL. BUT, BRAD, AS YOU’RE WATCHING THIS, FIRST OF ALL, CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO US, BRAD,

WHAT THAT VEHICLE IS THAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT THERE, THAT BIG WHITE TRUCK? WELL, I CAN’T SEE I DON’T HAVE A SCREEN UP TO SEE IT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A CARGO TRUCK OR LOOKS LIKE A ANY SORT TRUCK THAT YOU COULD PUT EVIDENCE INTO. SO THAT WE DON’T KNOW

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR. >> I CAN GIVE YOU A LIST OF WHAT I THINK THEY’RE LOOKING FOR IS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CRIME SCENE SEARCH VEHICLE TO GO IN WITH THE VARIOUS THINGS YOU NEED DO TO SEARCH. SO MY GUESS IS IT’S THAT BECAUSE MY SENSE WAS THIS

WAS IT, THEY WEREN’T GOING THERE TO ARREST ANYBODY. THIS WAS TO DO A SEARCH. AND SO THEY TOOK EVERYONE PROBABLY THE EVIDENCE RESPONSE TEAMS OF NAVY, THE FBI AND DHS TO DO THIS SEARCH. YEAH. SO A LARGE VEHICLE TO COLLECT EVIDENCE. IT DOES ALSO LOOK LIKE IT HAS

SOME KIND OF SATELLITE UP IN THE AIR AS WELL. WE’RE ALSO SEEING LOCAL NEWS IN THE AREA AND YOU’RE SEEING A LAW ENFORCEMENT, BRAD, OF WALKING DOWN A VERY LONG DRIVEWAY TO, ENTER THE HOME AND YOU’RE NOT SEEING YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT A CHAOTIC SCENE AT ALL. DEFINITELY NOT IN HERE. RIGHT.

OUR SOURCES ARE SAYING THAT AN ARREST AT THIS POINT IS NOT IMMINENT. RIGHT. SO, YOU KNOW, QUICKLY, LET’S WHY DID. WHY WERE THEY ABLE TO GO IN THERE TO BRIAN’S POINT? HOW DID THEY CONVINCE A JUDGE TO GO IN THERE? YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LINK DIRECTLY TO THESE TWO HOUSES.

IN OTHER WORDS, DO THEY HAVE VIDEO OF OF THESE SOME OF THESE ACTS THAT ARE BEING ALLEGED IN EITHER LOCATION OR BOTH LOCATIONS? IS THERE ARE THERE WITNESSES? PEOPLE HAVE COME FORWARD. OF COURSE, PEOPLE COME FORWARD. >> CAN THEY PUT AN AX IN THESE HOUSES AND MAYBE THEY WERE THERE FIRSTHAND?

>> IS THERE CCTV THAT CAN BE. DOES HE ACTUALLY HAVE VIDEO THAT HE COLLECTED WHILE THESE ACTS WERE GOING ON? IT’S NOT UNCOMMON IN THESE TYPES OF CASES. SO IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED . THOSE HOUSES THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT CONVINCED A JUDGE THAT THERE MAY BE ELEMENTS OF THE CRIME INSIDE THESE

HOUSES. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT ANALYSIS. I ALSO HOPE WE CAN GET SOME VIDEO UP OF THE RAID THAT’S HAPPENING IN LOS ANGELES. WELL, SO THAT WE CAN LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, YOU’RE SEEING, AGAIN, MORE VIDEO OF IT EITHER.

BUT AGAIN, ARE TALKING RIGHT NOW ABOUT A SIMULTANEOUS SEARCH OF TWO OF HIS PROPERTIES. ONE HAPPENING IN MIAMI, THE OTHER ONE HAPPENING IN LOS ANGELES. AND WE JUST HAVE SOME NEW REPORTING, WE’RE TOLD HERE BY OUR ABC’S AARON KATERSKY THAT THE WOMEN WHO HAVE MADE PUBLIC ACCUSATIONS AGAINST IT ARE WELCOMING MONDAY’S LAW

ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY, WE’RE TOLD. IN FACT THERE IS A STATEMENT FROM ONE OF THEIR LAWYERS WHERE THEY’RE SAYING WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN IT SEEKS TO PROSECUTE THOSE WHO HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW. HOPEFULLY, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A PROCESS THAT WILL HOLD MR. COMBS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY CALL

HIS DEPRAVED CONDUCT. AND SO I WANT TO BRING BACK IN HERE BRIAN BUCKMIRE. AND, BRIAN, IT WAS THE FIRST THING WE TALKED ABOUT, RIGHT, THAT THIS THIS IS NOT THE CULMINATION OF THIS THIS POTENTIALLY COULD BE THE VERY BEGINNING. SO, BRIAN, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF, FIRST OF ALL, THAT THE LAWYERS

ARE JUMPING RIGHT OUT, TALK ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY, NOT WASTING ANY TIME TO DRAW ATTENTION TO IT. >> WELL THIS IS BENEFICIAL NOT ONLY FOR THEIR CLIENTS BUT ALSO FOR THE CASES. IF LOOK TO THE LAST ALLEGED VICTIM, ROBIN JONES JUNIOR, CAME OUT WITH ALLEGATIONS THAT SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR TO CASSIE AS WELL

AS THE OTHER THREE WOMEN WHO BROUGHT CHARGES OR BROUGHT ALLEGATIONS. SORRY HE SAID THAT SEAN COMBS HAS CAMERAS THROUGHOUT HIS HOME THAT RECORDS. A LOT OF THE EVENTS IN HIS COMPLAINT, THAT BEING JONES JR’S, HE HAD SNAPSHOTS OF VIDEO THAT HE HAD TAKEN HIMSELF. AND SO TO BRAD’S POINT, I THINK

PART OF THIS, IF THE WHY AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING INTO THIS IN THE LENS OF THESE CIVIL OCCASIONS IS TO SEE HOW MUCH OF IT IS TRUE. AND IF ANY OF THIS IS TRUE, COULD A CRIMINAL CHARGES BE LEVIED AGAINST SEAN COMBS? NOW SOME OF THESE SIMILAR

ALLEGATIONS CAME UP BECAUSE OF A LOOK BACK WINDOW FOR CIVIL ALLEGATIONS TO BE BROUGHT THROUGH. NEW YORK’S ADULT SURVIVOR. BUT SOME OF THESE CHARGES, LIKE SEX TRAFFICKING, HAVE NO STATUTE LIMITATIONS AND THEY HAVE SEVERE PENALTIES UNDER LAW. AND SO LAW ENFORCEMENT LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING, IF THESE

ARE TRUE AND THERE ARE VIDEOS AND THERE ARE CAMERAS OR THAT THESE ALLEGATIONS CAN BE CORROBORATE TO WHAT WE FIND IN SEAN COMBS HOME, THEN THEY WILL MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP, WHICH POTENTIALLY BEING EVIDENCE COLLECTING OR ARRESTING SOMEONE. AND BRIAN, IF YOU CAN, JUST QUICKLY, WHILE WE ONLY HAVE

A FEW MORE MOMENTS HERE, HELP OUR AUDIENCE UNDERSTAND HOW FAR BACK THEY’RE LOOKING. I MEAN, SOME OF THESE ALLEGATIONS STEMS FROM 30 YEARS AGO. RIGHT. AND THEY IN SOME WAYS COINCIDE WITH THE UPRISING OF HIS CAREER. YES. A LOT OF THESE ALLEGATIONS JUST FROM THE LAWSUIT, I THINK STEM

BACK FROM 93 OR 94 AND GO ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL THE PRODUCTION ,HIS LATEST ALBUM AND 2023 AND 2024. AND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A LONG SPAN OF TIME. BUT JUST OUTSIDE OF THOSE LAWSUITS AS WELL, THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THESE KIND OF WHISPERS OR RUMORS IN THE BACKGROUND AS TO SEAN COMBS

INVOLVEMENT OF VARIOUS. IF YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT CASSIE’S ALLEGATION OF HIM BEING PART OF A KID, CUT HIS VEHICLE BEING EXPLODED, OR OTHER ALLEGATIONS ASSAULT OR SHOOTING OR SEXUAL HARASSMENT FROM RODNEY JONES JR AND THE OTHER FOUR ALLEGED VICTIMS. THIS IS A LONG INVESTIGATION. I THINK THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING BECAUSE THERE’S

LOT TO TRY TO CORROBORATE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME FORWARD. AND POTENTIAL PEOPLE WHO WE HAVEN’T SEEN COME FORWARD TO SEE WHAT EVIDENCE THEY AND TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT IT’S TRUE RUMOR OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN. ALL RIGHT. BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND BRAD GARRETT, THANK SO MUCH, BOTH OF YOU FOR

YOUR EXPERTISE. AND WE’LL BE CONTINUING TO COVER THIS STORY AS IT DEVELOPS. BECAUSE, AGAIN, AS WE CAME ON THE AIR THAT HAD JUST HAPPENED AND AS SOON AS WE LEARN MORE, WE WILL BRING THAT TO YOU LIVE. ALSO TODAY, THOUGH, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP VERY DEFIANT TODAY AFTER

RETURNING TO COURT IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY CASE IN NEW YORK. THE JUDGE SETTING AN APRIL 15TH START DATE FOR THAT TRIAL, WHICH WILL BE AMONG THE PRESIDENT’S CRIMINAL CASES, THE FIRST ONE. SO THIS INVOLVES CHARGES THAT HE FALSIFIED BUSINESS RECORDS SURROUNDING SECRET PAYMENTS TO STAR STORMY DANIELS

IN THE LEAD UP TO THE 2016 ELECTION. AND TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY. HE ALSO GOT A BIT OF A LIFELINE TODAY. THIS IS IN THE COLLECTION OF HIS NEARLY HALF BILLION CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. A NEW YORK APPEALS COURT LOWERING, HIS BOND TO $175 MILLION, GIVING HIM TEN DAYS TO FOOT THAT BILL.

TRUMP SPEAKING EARLIER, HIS FOURTH WALL STREET OFFICE BUILDING IN LOWER MANHATTAN. >> OKAY. WE WERE GOING TO HEAR FROM HIM FROM THERE, BUT WE DON’T THE SOUND READY. SO WE’LL GET THAT READY FOR YOU AND PLAY IT WHEN WE CAN. BUT JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS BRIAN, BACK WHERE HE DIDN’T

GO ANYWHERE. AND ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN, ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER GEORGIA PROSECUTOR CHRIS TIMMINS. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE WITH US ON A VERY BUSY AFTERNOON. AND OLIVIA, LET’S START HERE WITH YOU. LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS. HUSH MONEY TRIAL’S NOW SET TO BEGIN APRIL 15TH.

I KNOW HE’S NOT THRILLED WITH THE DATE NOW, BUT CURIOSITY OLIVIA SWIRLING ABOUT IF HE WILL TESTIFY IS SOMETHING YOU ASKED HIM DIRECTLY ABOUT. WHAT DID HE TELL YOU? WELL, SAID THAT HE DOES HAVE PLANS TO TESTIFY AT THIS TRIAL. HE SAID I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG, SO I WOULD HAVE NO

PROBLEM TESTIFYING. AND I THINK WHAT FASCINATING IS WHY EXACTLY HE IS UPSET ABOUT THIS TRIAL DATE, WHICH SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE, WHICH IS THAT IT IS DURING HIS ELECTION. AND HE KEPT SAYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN TODAY, KATE, I DON’T UNDERSTAND. WE CAN HAVE A TRIAL IN THE

MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION SEASON BECAUSE REMEMBER, THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO NOW KEEP HIM OFF OF THE CASE FOR TO EXCUSE ME, KEEP HIM OFF OF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR UP TO SIX WEEKS. I ASKED HIM ABOUT THAT AS WELL. WILL THAT HAVE AN EFFECT ON HIS ULTIMATE CHANCES AT REELECTION?

>> LET’S TAKE A LISTEN. I THINK WE HAVE THAT SOUND. >> WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THAT? I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING. >> I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG. AND WOULD YOU BE CONCERNED THAT A CONVICTION CONVICTED IN THAT TRIAL COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN GIVEN BY VOTER CAN

ALSO MAKE ME MORE POPULAR BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNOW IT’S A SCAM. >> SO YOU HEARD IT THERE. THE POTENTIAL FOR HIM SAYING COULD MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR, ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF POLLS THAT SHOW A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VOTERS WOULD FIND HIM UNFIT FOR OFFICE IF.

HE IS CONVICTED OF A CRIME. SO THE QUESTION IS, DOES THE UNFIT THAT THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM? ONLY TIME WILL TELL ON THAT FRONT. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND OLIVIA, ALSO THIS DECISION TODAY, A CIVIL JUDGMENT. TRUMP WAS AT RISK OF POTENTIALLY HAVING SOME OF HIS ASSETS SEIZED.

IT DOES APPEAR THAT HE’S EXPRESSING CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW IN HIS ABILITY TO COME WITH THIS NEW LOWER AMOUNT OF $175 MILLION. SO HOW DOES THAT PLAY OUT? HE SEEMS PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT HE’LL BE ABLE TO HIT THIS NEW HUNDRED AND $75 MILLION AMOUNT. REMEMBER, THAT IS NOWHERE NEAR

THE FOR THE OVER $400 MILLION THAT HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY, WHICH IS OWN SON ERIC TRUMP OVER THE WEEKEND SAID THAT THEY WERE GETTING LAP THAT WHEN TRYING TO GET A BOND FOR THAT INSANE NUMBER. HE PUT IT. SO NOW IT’S 875 MILLION. AND TRUMP TODAY THAT HE

WILL POSSIBLY USE CASH, POSSIBLY THE BOND FOR THAT. HE DIDN’T EXACTLY NAIL IT DOWN, BUT HE SEEMED TO INDICATE THAT HE DOES HAVE THE CASH, THAT HE DOES HAVE $175 MILLION. THE QUESTION IS, IS THAT TRUE? HE ALSO SAID HE HAD $500 MILLION JUST DAYS AFTER HIS ATTORNEYS SAID IN COURT

FILINGS THEY DIDN’T HAVE $500 MILLION IN CASH. SO HE NOW HAS TEN DAYS TO PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS. IF HE DOES HAVE HUNDRED AND $75 MILLION IN CASH, HE SHOULD PUT IT UP. IF NOT, WILL GET A BOND. BUT HE DID SAY THAT HE WILL COMPLY WITH THAT TEN DAY

RULING TO PUT UP THE 175. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT CLOCK IS TICKING. OLIVIA, THANK YOU. AND BRIAN, WHAT YOU MAKE OF THAT APPEALS COURT DECISION THERE TO SORT OF DROP THE AMOUNT AND MOVE THAT WAY? >> YEAH, I THINK WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT IS NOT SO MUCH THE MERITS OF THE CASE.

I WOULDN’T BE JUMPING FOR JOY IF I WAS DONALD TRUMP’S ATTORNEY AND SAYING, WELL, THE REDUCTION IN THE BOND AMOUNT OR THE BAIL THE BOND AMOUNT, SORRY, MUST MEAN THAT THE HIGHER COURT IS THEIR HAT TO SAY THESE ALLEGATIONS OR THESE FINDINGS OR THIS DETERMINATION ARE FAULTY. THE JUDGE MADE A MISTAKE.

NO, I THINK IT’S APPLES AND ORANGES. I THINK WHAT WE’RE AT IS SPECIFICALLY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO STAY IN APPEAL, THE INTERMEDIATE COURT, BECAUSE THERE’S A HIGHER COURT OF APPEALS IN NEW THAT BEING THE COURT OF APPEALS HASN’T RULED ON THIS YET, BUT THIS COURT HAS SAID, YOU KNOW,

THAT’S TOO MUCH OF AN AMOUNT. AND SO THEY CAME UP WITH SOMETHING JUST SHY OF 40% OF THE FULL AMOUNT TO ALLOW DONALD TRUMP TO EXERCISE. RIGHT. TO APPEAL WITHOUT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAVING THE ABILITY TO SELL OFF SOME OF HIS PROPERTY. BECAUSE IF SHE DOES START DOING

THAT, HE MAY NEVER RECOVER IT. SHE’S NOT GOING TO SELL THE PROPERTY AT A AMOUNT THAT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT’S WORTH 50,000 OR $50 MILLION, SORRY, HE SOLD IT FOR $50 MILLION. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK IF I WIN THE APPEAL.

IF THEY IT IT’S GOING BE FOR MUCH LESS. >> AND HE’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET THAT REMAINING BALANCE BACK. ABSOLUTELY. AND CHRIS, TO YOU, LOOK, LAWYERS FOR TRUMP AND HIS CO-DEFENDANTS, GEORGIA, SAY THAT THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO GET FANI WILLIS REMOVED FROM THE ELECTION CASE THERE.

AND ASHLEY MERCHANT, WHO IS AN ATTORNEY, FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL, MICHAEL ROMAN, SHE ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH OUR ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR TERRY MORAN EARLIER. AND SHE TALKED ABOUT CRITICS ARE CLAIMING THAT SHE AND THE OTHER DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ARE JUST TRYING DELAY THE CASE ENTIRELY. >> SO TAKE A LISTEN TO HER RESPONSE.

>> I’VE HEARD THAT A LOT OF THAT IS A CRITICISM. BUT THE BEST WAY TO AVOID DELAY WOULD BE FROM AS WELL AS TO STEP ASIDE. SHE COULD HAVE STEPPED ASIDE. SHE COULD STILL STEP ASIDE. IF SHE CHOSE TO DO THAT, THERE WOULD BE DELAY BECAUSE WE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO APPEAL.

>> THAT’S AN INTERESTING ARGUMENT, ISN’T IT, CHRIS, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? >> SO I’VE KNOWN ASHLEY FOR A LONG TIME. I KNEW HER WHEN SHE WAS A YOUNG LAWYER THAT WAS IN COBB COUNTY, ONE OF THE COUNTIES WHERE I WAS A PROSECUTOR. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS

THAT ASHLEY IS MISSING HERE IS THAT IF FANI WILLIS STEPS ASIDE, THE CASE THEN GOES TO THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY’S COUNSEL, WHERE IT MAY LANGUISH, WHERE THEY TRY TO FIND ANOTHER PROSECUTOR WHO’S WILLING TO TAKE UP THE MANTLE OF PROSECUTION. SO WHILE I THINK SHE’S RIGHT IN A WAY AND THAT THE CASE

WILL MOVE SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND THAT THE APPEAL WILL BE ON, BUT IT DELAYS THE CASE WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO GET ANOTHER PROSECUTOR IN PLACE. WHAT ARE THE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT THERE’S ONE ADDITIONAL DEFENDANT OUT THERE WHO HAS NOT BEEN PROSECUTED, AN EXPERT, JANET. HE’S LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF

THE STATE OF GEORGIA. HE WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO BE IN THAT RACKETEERING INDICTMENT. THE JUDGE WHO WAS HANDLING THE SPECIAL PURPOSE, GRAND JURY, DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR FANI WILLIS TO GO AHEAD AND PROSECUTE HIM BECAUSE SHE THREW A FUNDRAISER FOR HIS OPPONENT IN THAT LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR’S RACE.

THAT HAPPENED OVER A YEAR AGO. AND WE STILL DON’T HAVE A PROSECUTOR. SO ANY SORT OF FANI WILLIS STEPPING ASIDE WOULD ONLY MEAN GREATER DELAY. >> ALL RIGHT. INTERESTING. CHRIS, BRIAN AND OLIVIA, OUR THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. AND COMING UP NEXT HERE, SHOHEI OHTANI IS SET TO SPEAK OUT HERE

IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. WHAT WILL THE FACE OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL SAY ABOUT THE NEW INVESTIGATION INTO ILLEGAL GAMBLING AND MASSIVE THEFT ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN LEVIED AGAINST HIS LONGTIME INTERPRETER?

BARBARA SO THE BOND WAS JUST LOWERED, AS WE MENTIONED, BY THE APPEALS COURT IN THIS IN THIS CASE. AND TRUMP REALLY IS EXPRESSING A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN HIS ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO PAY THIS NEW LOWER JUDGMENT. AND HE HAS TEN DAYS TO DO IT. >> WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?

YOU KNOW, HE HAS KIND OF BEEN IN THIS COUNTRY, WON THE ELECTION, TOO, YOU KNOW, SO I’M NOT I DON’T REALLY READ HIS COMPANIES AS MUCH AS, YOU KNOW, SHOW IT’S ALL MAKE BELIEVE. >> AND HE THINK PROBABLY BELIEVES HE’S GOING TO GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING.

I DON’T THINK HE HAS THE CASH. >> BUT IN MY EXPERIENCES WITH HIM, IT SEEMS ALWAYS WORKED OUT FOR HIM. I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY GAVE HIM EXTRA TEN DAYS. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CUT THE AMOUNT. >> SO, YOU KNOW, HE’LL COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE IN TEN DAYS

AND ASK FOR MORE TIME OR A LOW AMOUNT STILL. >> AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN. >> WHEN WE WERE TOLD BY OLIVIA RUBIN THAT AS THEY WERE TRYING COLLECT THESE BONDS FOR THAT MUCH LARGER ABOUT AN AMOUNT, NEARLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS THAT THEY WERE JUST BEING LAUGHED AT BECAUSE

THE AMOUNT WAS SO EXORBITANT. BUT AGAIN, SO DO YOU THINK THAT HE’S NOT GOING TO SHOW UP AND FOOT THAT BILL IN TEN DAYS? YOU THINK GOING TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING ELSE FIRST? >> WELL, I THINK THAT HE’LL STILL DO SOMETHING. I MEAN, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT YOU KNOW, IT’S HARD

TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY BY THEN. >> I YOU’RE GOING TO GET ROMANTIC. >> YOU HAVE IT AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THESE DAYS STORIES THAT THIS IS BETTER THAN THE LADY WITH DEBT. SO YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT AND IT’S NOT EASY. >> AND, YOU KNOW, IF

YOU’RE TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING NOW, IT’S LIKE TRYING TO SELL A HOUSE IS BEING FORECLOSED SO YOU WON’T GET MUCH VALUE FOR WHAT YOU KNOW. BUT WHAT ARE YOU SELLING? THAT’S A CONUNDRUM. BUT HE WILL MAKE HE’LL STRETCH. >> AND IF YOU CAN, LET ME ASK YOU THIS.

>> THERE ARE SOME REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS OUT THERE, INCLUDING THE FAMED KEVIN O’LEARY AMONG THEM, WHO’VE BEEN REALLY PUBLIC ABOUT THE PRACTICE OF, YOU KNOW, ESSENTIALLY ASSETS, SHOWING THEM IN THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT POSSIBLE TO BARGAIN WITH A BANK FOR A FAVORABLE LOAN. THEY SAY IT’S VERY COMMON.

>> DOES YOUR PAST EXPERIENCE IN THIS INDUSTRY SUGGEST OTHERWISE? >> OVERVALUE ONE IS COMMON. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, PREPOSTEROUS AND POSSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE VALUE. NO, NO. THAT’S ONLY TRUMP IN MY EXPERIENCE. YES. >> AND HE JUST KEEPS ON SAYING IT LIKE KEEP SAYING HIS FATHER POVERTY. HE’S GOING TO SAVE FOR

HIS CAMPAIGN USE. >> IT SHOULD NEVER LISTEN TO HIS CAMPAIGN. SO NOW WHEN WHEN YOU TAKE A TRUMP TOWER APARTMENT, YOU SAY IT’S 30,000 SQUARE FEET OR WHEREVER THE HE SAID AND AND IT WAS, YOU KNOW, A THIRD OF THAT THAT PEOPLE GO THROUGH THAT NO REGULAR DEVELOPERS DON’T DO THAT.

>> SO YOU’RE SAYING IT’S JUST THE AMOUNT, BUT THAT IT IS ESSENTIALLY COMMON PRACTICE. >> AND WE KNOW THAT HE SPENT TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON HIS OWN CAMPAIGN IN THE PAST. >> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY CASE. TRUMP SAID THAT HE WOULD TESTIFY IN THAT TRIAL.

GIVEN YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH HIM FOR SOME 18 YEARS, HE’S BEEN INVOLVED IN MANY LAWSUITS AND DEPOSITIONS. >> WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM SOME KIND OF TESTIMONY FROM HIM ? >> YOU KNOW, THE THOUGHT THAT HE MIGHT TESTIFY BEYOND THE PALE. I CAN’T IMAGINE ANY LAWYER ALLOWING HIM TO DO THAT.

I ALWAYS CAN. AND WHO KNOWS WHAT SAY WILL TURN IT INTO A CAMPAIGN SPEECH LIKE HE DID WITH WITH THE FORD TRIAL. SO HE WON’T DISCUSS THE MATTER OF OTHER THINGS AND OTHER PEOPLE ON MY TEAM. >> AND THAT’S WHERE I THINK WHERE WE SHALL SEE IF HE TAKES THAT STAND. BARBARA.

YES, THAT RESTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. I WANT TO BRING OUR BIG STORY TO OUR PANEL. SO JOINING US TODAY IS OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST, MIKE MUSE, FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN FROM NEW YORK, JOHN KATKO, ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER

OFFICIAL OF THE 2016 CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AMANDA RENTERIA AND ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BROCKMIRE. BRIAN, LET’S START HERE WITH YOU. A COUPLE OF THINGS. WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE HERE IF AND WHEN DONALD TRUMP DOES TAKE THE STAND, AS SHE MENTIONED, WHAT IF HE DOESN’T ANSWER,

POINT IN QUESTION AND SORT OF RAILS UP ABOUT OTHER THINGS? I JUST DON’T ANTICIPATE THAT HAPPENING IN THE COURT OF LAW IF HE’S ON THE STAND, WASN’T HE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SAW IN THE CIVIL CASES WHERE THE JUDGE OR WHOEVER WAS QUESTIONING HIM WILL HAVE TO TRY TO REALIGN BACK TO THE

FACTS OF THE CASE, SAYING THAT THAT’S NOT RELEVANT, MR. PRESIDENT OR MR. TRUMP. YOU’VE GOT TO STAY ON TASK. YOU GOT TO STAY TO THIS ANSWER THAT YOU’RE BEING ASKED ABOUT. >> BUT AS WE’VE SEEN IN THE PAST, DONALD TRUMP’S GOING TO DO WHAT DONALD TRUMP DOES,

AND HE’S GOING TO ANSWER IN THE WAY THAT HE FEELS IS BEST FOR HIM BECAUSE HE’S TREATING IT AS, AS I SEE IT, THE COURT AS BOTH A CAMPAIGN OPPORTUNITY, AS WELL AS TRYING TO PUSH BACK ON THE NARRATIVE THAT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE PROSECUTION AND. BRIAN, JUST QUICKLY, IF I CAN,

WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE HERE, THE STRUGGLES IN FINDING A JURY HERE AND SEATING A JURY FOR THAT CASE? >> SO WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING A JURY, OFTENTIMES I SAY THAT BOTH SIDES ARE LEFT WITHOUT REALLY BEING HAPPY BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT GOING TO FIND THE PEOPLE ARE DIEHARD

TRUMP FANS ARE GOING TO SAY, WE BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE SAYS AND YOU’RE NOT GOING FIND THE PEOPLE THAT SAY WE HATE DONALD TRUMP AND EVERYTHING THAT HE SAYS AND DOES. YOU’RE GOING TO GET LEFT WITH SOMEONE IN THE MIDDLE. BUT BECAUSE OF THE POLARIZATION OF HOW WE THIS COUNTRY NOW,

THOSE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE ARE SO FEW AND FAR BETWEEN THAT IT’S BECOME THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND THEM. AND YOU’RE GOING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO’S TO BE UNPHASED AND UNBIASED OF WHAT THEY’VE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT THIS CASE. >> AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT WITH FRESH EYES.

AND ACTUALLY, JOHN, I’D LOVE HEAR YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT AND GENERALLY HOW YOU FEEL THAT THIS IS PERCEIVED WIN, AT LEAST FOR THE TRUMP TEAM, THAT THIS THIS BOTTOM AMOUNT HAS BEEN DRAMATICALLY LOWERED. >> YEAH, IT’S A PERCEIVED WIN, BUT I WOULDN’T BE SO EXCITED IF I WAS TRUMP AND IF THE COURT

OF APPEALS HAD A CONCERN ABOUT THE CASE ITSELF, THE MERITS OF THE CASE, THEY WOULD HAVE BASICALLY SAID NO BOND IS NEEDED BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO OVERTURN IT. >> BUT JUST LOWERED THE AMOUNT. AND THEY MAY BE SIGNALING THAT, YOU KNOW, HE’S GUILTY OF THE CASE, BUT THEY’RE GOING

TO LOWER THE AMOUNT OF THE FINE THAT HE PAID. SO I WOULDN’T BE TOO EXCITED BY THIS. IT’S OF $175 MILLION. THAT’S A PRETTY BIG NUMBER. AND IT’S NOT A GOOD SIGNAL FROM THE COURT, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE . AND AMANDA, TO YOU, IN THE CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY CASE,

TRUMP AND HIS TEAM REPEATEDLY HAVE SAID THAT HAVING THIS TRIAL BEGIN IN APRIL IS UNFAIR TO DO THAT BEFORE THE ELECTION. DO YOU AGREE? >> I DON’T. I MEAN, A LOT OF THESE CASES HAVE BEEN WAITING THEIR TIME. THEY’RE GOING ON A YOU KNOW, THEY’RE GOING ON TRIAL AS THEY SHOULD.

>> AND LISTEN, WE KNOW WHAT TRUMP IS GOING TO DO WITH HIS MOMENT. HE’S GOING TO USE IT AS A PLATFORM ANYWAY. AND SO I DON’T THINK WE WOULD HAVE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE. HE WAS IN COURT OR WHETHER HE WAS TALKING TO THE MEDIA. HE’S GOING TO USE THIS PLATFORM

AND WE SHOULD HAVE HIM FOLLOW ANY OTHER PERSONS PROCESS THROUGH THIS TRIAL. >> RIGHT. I MEAN, IN MANY CASES SHOWS UP WHEN HE DOESN’T HAVE TO IN THE COURTROOM. IN THIS CASE, OF COURSE, HE WILL HAVE BE THERE. MIKE, IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT DONALD TRUMP IS AS MENTIONED AS WELL,

FUNDRAISING OFF OF HIS LEGAL TROUBLES. HE’S LEADING IN THE LATEST FIVETHIRTYEIGHT POLLS THAT WE HAVE. >> AND HE’S ALSO SAID HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT EVEN MAKE HIM MORE POPULAR IF HE’S CONVICTED IN THIS CRIMINAL CASE MIKE. >> YEAH, FROM A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE, IT’S VERY STRATEGICALLY SOUND OF HIM TO DO.

WHAT THE DATA HAS SHOWN BASED UPON THE POLLS, I THINK WE’RE IN THE EARLY PART OF THE PRIMARIES. HIS POLLING NUMBERS WENT UP AFTER INDICTMENT THAT HE RECEIVED. ANOTHER THING THIS IS THAT HE’S LOOKING AT HIS PRIMARY BASE. HIS PRIMARY BASE IN THE PRIMARY. A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS ARE FEELING SYMPATHETIC TOWARDS THEM.

A LOT OF THEM THESE INDIVIDUALS FEEL LIKE THIS IS POLITICAL JOB THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING AGAINST HIM. SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, COULD WORK IN HIS FAVOR FROM THAT PRIMARY PERSPECTIVE. NOW, ONCE HE GETS THE GENERAL ELECTION, THAT IS TO BE A DIFFERENT NARRATIVE BECAUSE THAT’S GOING TO COME DOWN

TO THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS. BUT THEN THE KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES. AND I BELIEVE THAT THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS WON’T SEE IT SO MUCH AS A POLITICAL JAB AGAINST HIM AS, MUCH AS THEY NEED IT CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS TO GO FORWARD, DETERMINE HIS GUILT OR INNOCENCE. THEY WILL LOOK AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT LENS.

SO EVENTUALLY GOING TO HAVE TO TACK IN ORDER TO GET TO THE GENERAL ELECTION WITH THE INDEPENDENTS. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, JOHN, AMANDA AND BRIAN, OUR THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. >> COMING UP NEXT HERE IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, LAYOFFS VIA VIDEO. SO IS LOSING YOUR JOB REMOTELY? THE NEW ETIQUETTE?

NO, NO. OUR PANEL WEIGHS IN AFTER THE BREAK. >> WHENEVER A NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL NATION AT WAR. AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON GROUND IN UKRAINE. >> REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING, ABC NEWS LIVE IS RIGHT THERE EVERYWHERE FROM

THE SCENE OF THAT U.S. STRIKE IN NEIGHBORING UKRAINE. REPORTING THE EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY. IN ROLLING FORTH, THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH LITTLE TOWN FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII. FROM CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA ON THE 2020 CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN ICELAND. LET’S GO. TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN MEXICO CITY, WHEREVER.

STORY FROM THE FRONT LINES FROM SOUTHERN ISRAEL OUTSIDE THE GAZA STRIP IN, BEIRUT FROM THE FBI REPORTING FROM THE NURSES ON THE PICKET LINE HERE AT TEN DOWNING STREET IN LONDON, STREAMING LIVE TO YOU WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WHEREVER THE STORY. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE.

WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE NEWS LINE. >> YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING FREE AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. I HAVE A CONTRACT. THEY’RE EXPECTING US. IT’S OUR SECRET WORLD WE HAVE. DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SAFE? I DON’T KNOW. THIS IS MY KIND.

INSIDE OUT PAIN IS A SOURCE OF HUMOR FOR A THESE ARE ASSASSINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE MURDERED. >> THERE’S REALLY NO TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO. IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE IN ANYWHERE. WOW. >> THE INTERNET CAN BE A SCARY PLACE TO MY NAME, MY SOCIAL

SECURITY NUMBER, MY ADDRESS, AND THE NAMES, MY HUSBAND AND SON. >> BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW? WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GET MARRIED? I THEM. IT’S JUST BEEN CRAZY, SCARY, BEAUTIFUL. FAITH LIVES IN ME AND MADE UP A WHOLE STORY. >> DID I MARRY? IS THIS PERSON ACTUALLY WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE?

IF YOU THINK YOU GET PLAYED, JUST WATCH THIS. HOW I GOT PLAYED IS “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE” NOW STREAMING ON HULU? >> WHAT DO YOU SEE? 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.

A LOT OF NEWS TODAY. SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR 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 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. >> WELCOME BACK. SOME NEW LAYOFFS WERE ANNOUNCED AT ONE OF THE BIG THREE AUTOMAKERS. ABOUT 400 WORKERS AT CHRYSLER’S PARENT COMPANY RECEIVED AN EMAIL TELLING THEM THAT THEY’D

BE HAVING A MANDATE REMOTE WORK DAY FOR AN IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL MEETING REQUIRES SPECIFIC ATTENTION AND PARTICIPATION. AND THEN DURING THAT MEETING, EMPLOYEES WERE INFORMED THAT THEY WERE LOSING THEIR JOBS. IN TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT. IS THERE A RIGHT WAY OR WRONG WAY FOR COMPANIES TO PROPERLY CONDUCT LAYOFFS?

I WANT TO BRING BACK MY PANEL HERE. MIKE, JOHN, AMANDA AND BRIAN. OKAY. SO, MIKE, THIS WAS ESSENTIALLY, I MEAN, LIKE A MASS FIRING. SO, MIKE, IS THERE A RIGHT WAY OR WRONG WAY TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THEY’RE OUT OF A JOB? YOU KNOW WHAT? CAN’T I DON’T THINK THERE’S

A OR WRONG WAY, BUT I DO THINK THERE IS A WAY THAT MAKES IT LESS DIFFICULT IN RECEIVING THAT NEWS. AND I THINK THAT YOU’RE GOING TO GET AT HOME ON A ZOOM AND MUCH MORE OF A EASIER POSITION TO RECEIVE THE NEGATIVE NEWS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TIME TO PROCESS

WHAT HAPPENED VERSUS I’VE HEARD STORIES WHERE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO A CONFERENCE ROOM WHERE THEY HAD TO GO INTO A ZOOM MEETING WHILE THEY’RE AT A DARK, TOLD TO GO. SO IT’S PART THE SHOCK OF THAT YOU’RE LOSING YOUR JOB. BUT THEN SECOND, WHEN YOU HAVE

TO GO OUT AND FACE WHAT IS NOW YOUR FORMER COLLEAGUES, IT IS A QUESTION OF A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, IS THAT THE BOTTOM LINE, THE UPPERCUT IS NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT ONE CANNOT HELP BUT FEEL IT’S PERSONAL WHEN ONE IS LET GO. >> AND SO HAVING TO WALK OUT,

I THINK, TO THE DAMAGE AT HOME, YOU CAN PROCESS THAT ALONE IN YOUR OWN PRIVATE SPACE. >> YEAH, I MEAN, THAT SEEMS LIKE A SENTIMENT THAT YOU MIGHT SHARE THERE, JOHN, BASED ON THE EMAILS THAT I GOT FROM YOU AND IF YOU’RE AT HOME AND YOU GET THE BAD NEWS,

I GUESS AT LEAST HOME FOR A RUN OR SOMETHING THERE, RIGHT? >> YOU GET RID OF THE FRUSTRATION, BUT I THINK IT WORKS OUT IS RIGHT. BUT THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT WE’VE GOT TO CONSIDER IS WHEN YOU DO GET LAID OFF, IS THERE SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION PACKAGE TO YOU OUT?

THAT TO ME IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING BECAUSE HOW DO YOU GET HOME SO THEY CAN PROCESS AND SAY, OH, BY THE YOU GOT THREE MONTHS OR SIX MONTHS PAY. THAT CERTAINLY HELPS LESSEN THE STING OF THAT. SO I THINK MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE A PROPER CONVERSATION IS PROBABLY

THE THING THAT EASES THE PAIN THE MOST FOR PEOPLE. >> YEAH. AND THEN HAVING ANOTHER HUMAN TO HELP YOU NAVIGATE YOUR WAY THROUGH ALL OF THAT AS WELL. >> BRIAN YEAH, YEAH. >> YES, YES. MAYBE YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR DOGS ON LOAN FOR JOHN BRIAN DURING HIS TAKEOVER OF TWITTER WHEN IT

WAS STILL TWITTER. ELON MUSK HE WAS REALLY CRITICIZED. THERE WERE SEVERAL EMPLOYEES THAT FOUND OUT THEIR JOBS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T LOG INTO THEIR COMPANY, EMAIL. >> I DON’T KNOW. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? YEAH. THE INABILITY TO LOG INTO YOUR COMPANY EMAILS NOT I THINK

IS THE WRONG WAY OF DOING IT. I DO WITH MIKE IN MANY WAYS. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG, BUT SHOWING UP TO WORK AND TRYING TO LOG ON TO YOUR EMAIL OR EVEN JUST GET THROUGH A SECURE AREA AND REALIZING YOU CAN’T. I’M GOING TO PUT THAT IN THE CATEGORY OF WRONG.

I PREFER IF THERE IS TO BE A FIRING TO BE DONE OVER ZOOM. IT’S AT HOME. IT’S CLOSER TO MY WHISKEY CABINET AND MY DOG AND. THAT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER FOR ME THAT HAVING TO LIKE WALK THROUGH THE AND GO BACK HOME AFTER A TERMINATION.

>> BRIAN, ARE YOU AND JOHN LIKE ROOMMATES? >> MAYBE IT COULD BE LIVE TOGETHER SEEMS TO BE HIS MODE SO OKAY SO AMANDA THERE’S THERE’S THIS WORD OUT OF GOLDMAN SACHS AND REPORTED THEY ELIMINATED OVER 3000 JOBS BY EMAILING LIKE CALENDAR INVITE SAYING YOU TO COME IN YOU HAVE TO BE AT THIS

MEETING AND THEN WHEN YOU GET TO THE MEETING, THEN YOU GOT FIRED. >> THOSE PEOPLE WEREN’T AT HOME . >> YEAH. I MEAN, THIS WAS TOUGH FOR ME TOO. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT LOOKING PEOPLE IN THE EYE IN THESE TOUGH MOMENTS THAT ALSO IS AND RESPECTFUL. BUT WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING AT IT

FROM THE EYES OF SOMEBODY LAID OFF, I THINK MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE SUPPORT SYSTEM AT THAT MOMENT, BUT ALSO WHEN IT COMES TO SEVERANCE AS WELL AS HOW DO BOSSES HELP ACTUALLY FIND THAT NEXT. AND THAT’S WHAT I HOPE A LOT MORE EMPLOYERS TAKE A LOOK

AT IS WHEN YOU DO LAY FOLKS ARE NOT ONLY GIVING THEM TIME, BUT ALSO TRYING TO HELP THEM TO THAT NEXT JOB. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. >> MIKE, THOUGH, I’M CURIOUS AS TO YOUR THOUGHTS AND SOMETIMES IF, YOU KNOW, LIKE A COMPANY GOING TO GO THROUGH MASS LAYOFFS, SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE ABLE

TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES. THEY KIND OF KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THEM, RIGHT? SO THEN HOW DO EMPLOYERS NAVIGATE? AND THAT’S THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION TO LOOK AT THE NUANCE I NOW THE WAY THAT THIS MARKET IS POSITIONED NOW THAT I THINK EVERYONE NOW KNOWS NO ONE’S JOB

IS SAFE, NO MATTER WHAT. SECOND, YOU’RE WORKING BODY WORK IN HOSPITALITY, WHETHER YOU’RE MAKING IN FINANCE OR WHETHER WORKING IN MEDIA AND OR KIND OF WHAT IS WORKING IN TECH. TECH AT ON POINT WAS VIEWED AS ONE OF THE MOST SECURE JOBS THAT WAS OUT THERE NOW. BUT SEE SO MANY BIG TECH

COMPANIES DOING ROUNDS OF LAYOFFS. SO I THINK WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW IS THAT PEOPLE ARE BRACING FOR THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS COULD COME AT ANY MINUTE. AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT THEIR NEXT MOVE. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT NEXT? GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE

YOU KNEW THAT YOU COULD BE AT THE JOB FOR 20, 25 YEARS. I THINK PEOPLE NOW BELIEVE THAT IF I’M GOING TO HAVE A JOB ,5 TO 10, HEY, WE HAD A GOOD RUN. >> WOW. YEAH, THAT IS SOME INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE. MIKE, JOHN, AMANDA AND BRIAN, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.

AND COMING UP FOR OUR LAST CALL HERE, THE SWEET 16 IS SET. OUR PANEL BREAKS DOWN THE MADNESS. ALSO, CAITLIN CLARK’S GOAL OF WINNING A NATIONAL TITLE WITH IOWA. BUT WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? WE ARE PART OF AN OPERATION ON COMBAT OPERATIONS.

WE’RE APPROACHING THE GATE MILITANTS. THE MAIN COMPETITION OF THEIR REACTORS. SO THE COUPLE LOADED AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS BUT THE FLAG. YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT MADE TO USA. GREAT WORK. >> HI, IT’S MY DAVID. I’M DAVID. YOU ARE YOU? >> ARE YOU? DO YOU EVERY NIGHT.

ABC’S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID IS AMERICA’S MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW, COUNTLESS AMERICAN WOMEN ARE FACING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WITHOUT EVEN SILENT THREATS. AND THAT’S WHY TOMORROW, “GMA” WITH A VITAL BREAKING NEW HEALTH SERIES FOR WOMEN. WATCH THIS ONLY ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA. >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START

I MEAN WISCONSIN CAN WORK I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SAY WISCONSIN FOR ME. AWESOME. I AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT GREEN BAY FOR A YEAR, I WAS A DIVISION ONE SOCCER PLAYER AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO B DIVISION TWO. >> SO I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO BET ON THESE GAMES AS A COLLEGE ATHLETE.
