1:00 pm
titanic experience. and these are designs that feature a grand staircase, of course, has to have that a first-class dining saloon, a ballroom, squash courts. i do not remember that movie at all. >> no. no, no. >> i remember really in order to caprio, i remember those that joule. >> yep >> palmer clearly thinks that he is the king of the world. he says that with the pandemic over cruise ship sailing again, the time is right. he told local media, quote, it's a lot more fun to do the titanic than it is to sit at home and count money some might debate that, speaking of pfk-1 passengers will be encouraged to dress for the 1900s. >> i >> probably too soon to make jokes about what happened on the titanic, right? i hope the experience isn't too authentic >> know it's going to be all the good parts good parts of the crews will leave it there. >> the lead with jake tapper starts right now
1:01 pm
>> a fatal mistake, sinking part of the case in georgia against donald trump. the lead starts right now six charges dismissed and the election subversion case in fulton county, georgia, a judge saying a lack of detail led to his decision. what does this mean for the the rest of fani willis's case, a georgia legal expert and a close associate of district attorney willis, join us to break it all down. plus tik tok taped down a bill forcing the social media giant to cut ties with china or face a ban in the us passes the house with huge bipartisan support. but we'll go anywhere in the senate and should the us government be in the business? of banning private companies. i'll ask a member of the house select committee on china and a question so many people are asking today, do you feel safe
1:02 pm
flying on a boat? boeing plane, major new revelations about the airline manufacturers work on that door plug that blew off during an alaskan airlines flight the ntsb today saying its investigation is being held back by a lack of paperwork and video footage welcome to the lead. >> i'm jake tapper, a big blow today for district attorney fani willis in the georgia election subversion version case against donald trump and his allies, judge scott mcafee, has thrown out six charges in the 41 count indictment against trump, and some of his co-defendants. all of those charges relate to multiple instances of the co-defendants allegedly soliciting the violation of oath by a public officer. three of the six charges tossed were against donald trump. one of them tied to that infamous phone call that trump made to georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger in january 2021. after the 2020 election i want
1:03 pm
to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 notes, which is one more than we have because we won the state >> he did not win the state. of course, he lost the state. now, even though these six charges are out the window, mcafee said the alleged conduct at the root of those charges could still be used by prosecutors as part of the larger racketeering cases, which means the case remains for the most part intact to be clear. today's ruling has nothing to do with these separate ethics allegations brought against fulton county district attorney, fani willis. the judge has not yet decided whether to disqualify her but that major ruling is also expected. this week. let's go to cnn's nick valencia in atlanta outside the fulton county courthouse and nic, this was not the major ruling we expected to get this week why did the judge decided to drop these six charges? >> well, he's very clear in
1:04 pm
his ruling. this is a critique of the district attorney's office lack of detail. with judge scott mcafee is saying, is that the da's office did and include enough detail about what crimes they were allegedly soliciting when they are asking these public officials to do essentially their dirty work, these calls, these charges have to do with the infamous phone call as you were mentioning there with the former president, him calling the secretary of state, brad raffensberger to find more votes. it also has to do with this alleged fake electors scheme. and that's the scheme from trump and his allies to try to subvert the electoral college and say that he rightfully won the state of georgia when he did not. it also has to do with trump asking one of the heads of the legislature here to call a special session in georgia. but the judge is saying that there wasn't enough details about what oath that these public officials were allegedly violating what crimes were being solicited by these defendants. so he's throwing these charges out and it's being celebrated as a victory for these defendants, including the former president's attorney here, steve sadow who sent us a statement and this is what
1:05 pm
he's saying in part >> the ruling is >> a correct application of the law as the prosecution failed to make specific allegations of any alleged wrongdoing on those counts. the entire prosecution of president trump is political constitutes election interference and should be dismissed. there is a caveat though here, jake and the caveat is that the judge? she has left the door open for the da's office to fill in these details and re-indict and also most importantly, the most significant count of all is still stands and that's the racketeer during charged. but as you mentioned, we are still waiting for that monumental decision from judge mcafee, which could come really at any at any moment, jake >> all right. we're also awaiting and nic for the judge to make that other hugely consequential decision in the case whether to disqualify the fulton county district attorney, fani willis, from her own case. when might that ruling come down? >> well, it could come at any point. we are expecting it to come towards the later half of this week and that's just from the words that we heard from the mouth of the judge himself. he gave a recent interview to
1:06 pm
wsp radio here in atlanta. that's a conservative talk roe talk radio. it came as a shock to a lot of us following this case because he's virtually denied every single interview request. but he did grant this interview to talk about his challenger. the challenger he faces for his november reelection bid. and during the course of these eight minute interview, he talked about this pending decision and he said his decision is going to take time. this kind of decision takes time, but he's going to make it at his best understanding of the law he did say though jake, he is on track to make that decision by the end of this week, jake. >> all right. >> nick valencia, thanks so much. let's discuss with former senior assistant da for fulton county, charlie baby, charlie bailey, and former dekalb county district attorney j. tom morgan and charlie, we should note you have worked closely with that attorney fani willis and your wife, is part of her communications team. have you spoken to district attorney willis since these six charges were dropped? and what do you make of the judge's reasoning?
1:07 pm
>> no, i'm not spoken to fani since the judge came out with this order. and my take is this is fairly routine stuff notwithstanding what what trump's lawyer wants to say, a special demurer and the judge pointed this out. this is something that's in his words so easily remedy in the federal system, you could file a bill of attainder. you don't even have to go back to a grand jury to re-indict good. lawyers can disagree about whether there's sufficient notice in the indictment as to the charges, and that's really what we're talking about here, but not to get too far in the rabbit hole. >> this is >> a fixable and it doesn't go to the sufficiency of the evidence which the judge was sure to point out when he's older tom. let's read the judge's reasoning for dropping six charges of quote, violation of oath by a public officer, unquote the judge writes,
1:08 pm
quote, as written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes, but failed allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission. i, ii, the underlying felony solicited. they do not give the defendants enough information to prepare the defenses intelligently as the defendants could have violated the constitution's and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways, unquote. what do you make of that? do you agree >> absolutely. jake, the suits amendment and the due process clause. so the 14th amendment state that a defendant must be put on notice of the charges against him and what he did to make them a crime these counts are very convoluted to begin with and at the end of the day, the defendants were not put on notice. but jake, let me just say this deference and mr. shakespeare, this is much ado about nothing as mr. bailey said, this is routine. these
1:09 pm
six counts, i think most prosecutors, including this former prosecutor, would never have included them in the indictment. in the first place, calls her already in the rico count, and the judge in his orders said that they can stay in the rico count so you're saying just to reiterate, you don't think this is that big a deal on the grand scheme of this one case >> absolutely. as i said, i think most prosecutors would not even have included these caps. the rico count, which is a 20-year felony of both of those rico counts are staying in and that's what mr. trump and the other defendants would like to have taken out >> charlie, cnn legal analyst, michael moore, a former us attorney in georgia, says it, mcafee is action might mean that the judge does not think the case will go to trial this year. could that be damaging to fani willis's case in and of itself? >> and if >> so, how >> well i disagree with michael
1:10 pm
on that point. i don't think this indicates anything ea is always decides to re-indict. adding some specific language that the judge is calling for here that doesn't change anything about the trial possible trial date. does this the judge said is already said the facts, the conduct is alleged in abundance in the indictment and that's when you're talking about getting ready for trial. it's do you have all the evidence that the state is going to use against you and nothing about this order changes that they have all that evidence and have had all that evidence for months now. so i don't think that changes makes it distinction one way or the other about whether it goes to trial before the election or not. that's going to be judge mcafee decision. but there's plenty of time between now and november to get started, whether that's august, whether that's july,
1:11 pm
whether that's september tom, he told cnn two weeks ago that if judge mcafee follows the georgia supreme court case law, you believe fani willis will not >> be disqualified. are you still expecting the judge mcafee will leave fani willis on the case yes, >> i believe the judge will have to find that there's an actual conflict and there's not an actual conflict the appearance of conflict is not what the law of demand there has to be an actual conflict i've watched the hearings very closely and i do not believe that the defense has shown that there is an actual conflict certainly an appearance, but not an actual conflict >> charlie, what do you think >> i agree with j. tom on what the law is clear in georgia, there has been a lot of talk about well, it's an open question. it's not, it's his j tom says this is very clear that actual conflict is the
1:12 pm
standard here. and as we've talked before, jake, i mean, the defense attorneys in this case set up this elaborate crazy theory that they had to prove. that fani willis brought this indictment 41 towns against nine including a former president and not because the evidence and the law required it but because she couldn't afford a trip to aruba and needed to hire somebody that could pay for the cruise. i mean, it's so outrageous. it's hard even say with a straight face that and what they had to prove in this hearing. >> and >> within a galaxy of conflict, you're not what even in a galaxy that of a conflict, unless we're going to sit here and say that people that work together can't date, can marry. and i think you could even say in your time and in the press, not mentioned politics or law, you've got all kinds and end up getting married with to the war that's
1:13 pm

1:18 pm
support in the house for a bill that could potentially ban tiktok its next stop in the us senate the fate of its tens of millions of users in the us is not as clear cut. >> this is one of those arguments you can push either argument, the house >> overwhelmingly passed their plan that would require chinese parent company bytedance to sell its popular social media platform or face a ban in the us at the end of the day for me, it really came down to whether or not we can take some action to try to deter the malign influence of the prc. >> but the bill wasn't without its detractors 65 members voted against it, including 50 democrats. >> i think there are serious national security concerns, but i think the way the bill it was crafted was problematic. and so i voted know the answer is not to go selectively banning the flow of information from particular nation. those backing it argue they did so for national security, i want
1:19 pm
to protect them from a foreign adversary collecting their data manipulating it to talk is owned by bytedance, by dancers and china already president joe biden has said he would sign the bill if it passes. that. opponents argue could be upholded acoma stake. do you worry at all about the political implications for biden for democrats in the election? qin over supporting this legislation. >> i don't know why you want to upset young people in 170 million people on a platform, republican front runner donald trump is taking a different approach. after the former president once for an outright ban tiktok tiktok, only the clothes up tiktok in this country for security reasons. or it will be so he now says, he isn't behind the house. bill the bill's future in the senate, also less certain is a lot of questions my colleagues are asking myself included. i haven't come to fund decision as to whether or not it should be banned. >> senators marco rubio and mark warner, top members of the senate intelligence committee, committed wednesday to quote, working together to get this
1:20 pm
bill passed through the senate and signed into law. but majority leader chuck schumer has not committed to putting the bill on the floor. >> i'll have to consult and intend to consult with my relevant committee chairman to see what their views would be >> and today it became very clear tiktok putting out a statement saying that the senate needs to consider this very carefully. they need to listen to their constituents listened to the 170 million tiktok talk to users who are using that service. but we should also note there's no guarantee that the house passed bill would actually come to the floor of the senate tonight. we're getting new new reporting from our colleagues, manu raju and ted barrett, that maria cantwell, a powerful committee chairwoman, is in a different approach, and that could take some time to craft that certainly lays out the possibility that this isn't going to come to a vote in a matter of days, but this could drag on for weeks or even months. >> jake all right. cnn's lauren fox on capitol hill for us.
1:21 pm
thanks so much coming up now, the great wall of diplomatic displeasure between beijing and washington, dc only growing with this news, cnn in correspondent marc stewart is in beijing and mark, you got to direct answer when you asked a spokesperson for china's foreign ministry about this tiktok ban right, jake, there should be no question. we're stands at all of this as china is now accusing the united states >> of acting like a bully. and the question i posed that generated that response was framed like this regardless of what happens with tiktok, there is a feeling of distrust from some american lawmakers, from some american citizens toward chinese companies. here the response to that question. >> even though the us has not found evidence on how tiktok endangers its national security. it has never stopped going after tiktok such practice of resorting to acts
1:22 pm
of bullying when one could not succeed in fair competition disrupts the normal operation of the market it turned reminds the confidence of international investors and sabotage the global economic and trade order this will eventually backfire on the us itself. >> this is all happening at a time when the united states and china are trying to find an economic roadmap, a business relationship for the future, especially post pandemic. i followed up by asking what kind of relationship does the chinese government have with bytedance? is it advising tiktok the response that i got jake was very much to the first question, pretty much the same answer. no additional insight, no indication as to exactly the relationship between the government and this company, jake. >> all right. marc stewart, thanks so much with us now, new york democrat, democratic representative ritchie torres.
1:23 pm
he's a member of the house select committee on the chinese communist party and first of all, a belated, happy birthday to you, sir. you voted in favor of the tiktok bill today. explain your thinking to our viewers. especially the millions, if not tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people who love the app and don't want big government infringing on their right to use it well, the legislation is not about the use of tiktok, it's about foreign ownership of tiktok, bytedance, ownership of >> tiktok is a threat to the security of the united states. bytedance is subject to the control of the chinese communist party. bytedance owns tiktok tiktok is not merely social media platform, it is the leading new source for the next generation of americans. and the fact that we have put the leading news source for the most impressionable minds in our society in the hands of our leading foreign adversary, the chinese communist party, is an act of self-sabotage that would have been the equivalent of allowing a soviet company to
1:24 pm
contribute tro, abc, nbc, and cbs during the height of the cold war, which would have been unimaginable >> what kind of threat do you see? >> happening? what giving you an example of the kind of thing either you have seen on tiktok and you suspect it's because the chinese government he? has influence or what you fear >> well, first as a consensus throughout the intelligence community from the fbi to the cia hey, that there is a national security risk with bytedance control of tiktok. so that's not a matter of dispute within the federal government. i have to concerns first, there are more than 100 and 70 million users on tiktok. the chinese communist party could easily access that data under the national security law in china, bytedance would have no choice. choice but to cooperate with the chinese communist party. and then second tiktok could be a tool for information warfare. know, china could easily use tiktok to conduct foreign influence operations
1:25 pm
against the united states. so both data, privacy, data security, and information warfare or causes for concern we just heard from cnn's marc stewart from beijing. he says the chinese government is accusing the united states of acting like a bully. what's your reaction >> i mean, there's no greater bully than the chinese communist party. i mean, it consistently coerces and intimidates and bullies american companies based in china. and the chinese communist party would never allow the united states to control the leading media platform in china tiktok used the app to encourage users to contact their lawmakers and tell them to vote against the legislation. did you get a lot of calls and messages? >> like every congressional office was flooded with calls. but tiktok is telling lies. it is spreading this information the legislation is not a ban on tiktok. it is a forced sale of
1:26 pm
tiktok under the legislation. tiktok will have the ability to continue to operate tiktok users will have the ability to create content and express themselves. this is not about content, this is about foreign ownership of tiktok as you know, donald trump during his presidency supported a ban on tiktok and a ban on foreigners, foreign >> ownership of tiktok and now he's against your bill. >> are you >> worried at all that this legislation is going to alienate young people whose votes democrats need in november i mean, first we should make the decision based on national security, not electoral politics. but second, i want to reiterate this is not a ban on tiktok i respect the right of young people to create content to express themselves on tiktok that we are not targeting. the communicative and expressive activity he that happens on tiktok were
1:27 pm
targeting adversarial foreign control of the leading social media platform here in the united states >> do you can you make any sense of the fact that president biden banned tiktok from government devices seems inclined to sign this ban on foreigners, foreign ownership of tiktok in the law, if it gets to his desk. but his campaign opened its own account on tiktok. does that make sense to you >> it does. i mean, i personally do not have a tiktok account, but it makes sense because the focus of the legislation is not the use of tiktok, its ownership of tiktok. so if you want to be a user of tiktok, that is you're right. and we will not interfere with that. right but we want to ensure that tiktok is in the ownership of either an american company or an or a country accompanying an allied country? >> turning to another matter, you're proposing a change in house rules to prevent expelled members of congress such as, oh, i don't know former new
1:28 pm
york congressman george santos from being allowed on the house floor, from being allowed to continue house floor visiting privileges because it's a privilege usually granted to all former members of congress. tell us more about that >> some short santos disgraced the united states congress with his embarrassing presence during the state of the union. as you pointed out, former members enjoy the same floor privileges as existing members. if you are a former member who left the institution in good-standing, you should retain floor privileges. but in my view, if you were expelled from congress for misconduct, as george santos was then you should have your floor privileges revoked and so i'm introducing what is known as the george rule which would revoke the floor privileges of expelled members george stands for getting expelled, officially revoked, guaranteed entry who came up with that >> that was my team. have a
1:29 pm
team that's clever this morning, acronyms, yeah and happy birthday bottom. yeah, that's a good acronym. we have the same birthday yesterday. democratic congressman ritchie torres, thanks. thanks for being here. good to see you. thank you so much, sir. a stark relation from the ntsb today over that alaska airlines mid air door plug blow out the information it claims boeing cannot provide about work that had been done on that part of the aircraft that's next what happened to the golden boy of new jersey, governor jim aggreviate. >> i engaged in an adult consensual affair with another man. >> it was shocking. >> was it an instant attraction? >> yeah, greed, these top fundraiser under investigation, he put it lover, want to stay payroll or reasons immigrating? designed is a lot more complicated than we remember. >> did you want to be outed united states of scandal with jake tapper are gonna get a therapist if they're having an interview with jake new episodes sunday at nine on cnn

1:33 pm
direct today at 800 or visit coventrydirect.com i'm arlette saenz at the white house. >> and this is cnn >> and we're back with our national lead. there's really no way to sugar coat this. boeing is a company that has some very serious problems after a series of frightening mid-flight incidents, the
1:34 pm
company's stock is now down 20 he 7% for the year the national transportation safety board is planning a rare public hearing on that door plug that blew off the boeing plane earlier this year. and of course, a recent federal audit found issues with really important unquote aspects of boeing's production line none of that is good news. i want to bring in cnn aviation correspondent pete muntean. everyone now has seen a lot of scary headlines about planes. are these things just now happening or are we just now hearing about them? >> there's a little bit of connective tissue here, jake, and that all really kicked off with the 7:37 max nine door plug blow out back on january 5 after that, there has been incident after incident, there's the latam airlines 787 incident of earlier this week, there were smoking tires on a 777 coming out of sydney, just the other day there was the triple-7 that lost a tire and san francisco all of these things involve boeing airplanes, but that is really where the connection ends. the door plug blowout incident,
1:35 pm
really highlighted some quality control issues at boeing. it's the most dramatic, it's the most dangerous everything after that is mostly a one-off so there are definitely quality control problems at boeing and those are really being investigated now by the ntsb and the faa. and now boeing has a perception problem whether or not it is warranted that is really up to the flying public. and it seems like they focus on the fact that every incident in these most recent ones involve a boeing airplane >> what are your sources telling you about what's going on behind the scenes at boeing right now. >> behind the scenes at boeing, there's a lot of questions. there are so many edx right now coming down from on high at boeing to the workers saying they must keep in on quality control, that they must assemble everything per the directions that the spotlight is really on. even the workers. but the big question is this. now, will there be changed at
1:36 pm
the top, like we saw after the max eight incidents of 2,018.20, 19 346 people killed in two crashes abroad that caused a whole host of changes at the executive level, including new ceo. we've not really seen much in the way of any indication of that. the only thing that has changed as the head of the 7:37 max program and he was largely a person who is unknown to people off the street. so one has to ask if that was really a scapegoat change. and will there be significant change at boeing >> and we now know the ntsb is going to hold this rare public hearing on the incident with the door-plug. but today, investigators said boeing is unable to provide some key information that they need. >> this has been something that's been highlighted by the national transportation safety board chair jennifer on monday before, and she really put boeing on blast once again today after a hearing on capitol hill last week, she has written the top senators, who in the committee who oversee aviation, saying that boeing, by not providing some documents
1:37 pm
that show what the latest was on the work that was done on the max-9 that was delayed every two alaska airlines late last year, that they're really hampering the investigation. remember, the ntsb found that the bolts that hold the door plug on the plane were removed at the factory because of corrective work on another part of the plane. and then the bolts were not re-installed. boeing simply not been able to produced that paperwork. and so ntsb chair homendy says the absence of those records will complicate the ntsb's investigation going forward, and it is not a good look for boeing all right. >> pete muntean, thanks so much. let's go live now to where president biden is speaking. so we can hear him. he's in milwaukee. he's at an event tower putting the administration's work on infrastructure. let's listen
1:38 pm

1:40 pm
really deserve. look the story of a bronzeville here in milwaukee is one that we see all across the country our interstate highway system laid out in the '50s was a groundbreaking connection. our nation's coast to coast, that was the purpose of it, were to transform the way people live, work and travel well, instead of connecting communities, it divided them. these highways actually tore them apart. i come from a city, wilmington, delaware, where if you ever the same thing happened. we're in a situation where i95 is four lanes going through community that was all african-american and it just split it and it's now about 50, 60, maybe 70 yards wide and i'm president, i can't get that done yet why did you guys get it first? i don't know no, but all kidding aside the same thing happened here and many cities across the country, for also cities all across america. highways used to be a long red lining along
1:41 pm
with red line they disconnected the entire communities from opportunities sometimes in an effort to reinforce segregation. that's what happened here in milwaukee. more than 100 years ago. bronzeville was the home of a thriving hub of black culture and commerce homes and apartment is owned by black families. black small business from hotels, the jazz clubs, to rely restaurants like raised grandfathers the middle of the 20th century, tens of thousands of black americans migrated from the south to milwaukee and other cities to get good paying manufacturing jobs. but by the '60s, so-called urban renewal swept this country the construction of i94 and i 43 tore down roughly 17,000 homes and 1,000 businesses ripping through neighborhoods in nearby roads. here on sixth street, the road was widened, displacing residents of business. also, the people
1:42 pm
outside the neighbourhood, you get downtown today's sixth street is a wide road without a prop for him, without a protected bike path by claims or bus lands with limited access to the green space. speeding and reckless driving, resilient, and crashes five times that the city's average all of this looking people locking people out of opportunities and leaving them more isolated from the social and economic life for the rest of the city congresswoman more told me when she was a child, she lived a short walk from a public library safe place to read and learn where libraries out who were given cake, the library and give cake to children when i showed up to read that's true when it but then the new plans disrupted the walk and made the library and accessible sadly, too many communities across america face the loss of wealth, prosperity, and the possibilities that's still reverberate today.
1:43 pm
imagine all those homes, a mom and pop stores that could have been posted. and passed down from family and family financial security generational wealth would have resulted imagine what they can do where they contributed then, and what they could have contributed all these years. and what that would have meant for all the milwaukee and over communities across the country? for generations, black, brown, and native american asian americans, native hawaiians communities weren't fully occluded in our democracy or our economy but yet by pure courage, heart, and grit, they never gave up. they pursued the full promise of america. today, recognizing that history to make new history i'm here to announce the first of its kind of investment, 3.3 billion 3.8 billion, $3.8 billion and projects and 42 states going to help write historic wrongs the

1:46 pm
absolutely do. and here's why donald trump carried wisconsin in 2016. joe biden won it. four years later, he is back here trying to campaign to win that he's talking behind me here as you can see about infrastructure fracture of course, one of the biggest achievements of his first term in office he believes is the bipartisan infrastructure law. so he's specifically announcing to the street what projects that will pay for his slogan here is rebuilding communities. he's also trying to rebuild the coalition for his campaign. this is about the sixth battleground state he's hit since the state of union address. the question is, are people listening and talking to democrats here, talking to voters? many have said they in fact, have been inspired and energized by that speech, lowering my voice here as he is still speaking. so the question is, this, wisconsin will be at the center not all battlegrounds. that is the center of that big blue wall. wisconsin, of course, michigan, pennsylvania. so that's why the president is here. and jake, as you said, donald trump will be here to accept his party's
