5:00 am
has really undermined that image that he's tried carefully to cultivate for himself >> matthew chance. thank you so much for your reporting. the next hour of cnn news central starts right now we have special coverage on a >> that could see donald trump's bank accounts frozen and his properties sees does he have the half $1 he needs to post bond in the civil fraud trial he lost. we've got new reporting just in waiting on hamas. israel agrees to a proposed exchange of hostages for prisoners. so what happens next? israeli officials head to the white house and united facing major delays as the faa digs into a string of incidents this month. i'm john berman sara sidner, kate is out today. this is cnn news central
5:01 am
>> right now. >> we're watching to see donald trump leave at any moment for the courthouse in new york as he faces a double legal threats? today, two different cases in one criminal prosecution that could lead to possible jail time in another. a merely half-billion-dollar bond payment that is due today. first up, a hearing in the hush money case involving his former fixer, michael cohen and adult film star stormy daniels that will begin in the next hour. today is also the deadline for trump to come up with 464 million bond or possibly see his accounts frozen and his properties seized by the ag properties like trump park avenue, mar-a-lago, his seven springs of state and 40 wall street. let's get straight to cnn's chief legal affairs correspondent, paula reid, who joined us from outside of the court. what do you expect to see today? and i know we're
5:02 am
getting very close to donald trump showing up yeah sorry this is a big de even by trump standards, today was supposed to be the first day of the first >> criminal trial against former president trump. but instead, his lawyers will spent the morning in the courthouse right behind me with their client and they're gonna be arguing why this case should either be postponed further or dismissed outright after 100,000 new documents, pieces of evidence were handed over by federal prosecutor first. now, this is a state level case. this new evidence came from federal officials related to their investigation and prosecution of michael cohen michael cohen? is it really key in this case, the allegations here are that trunk paid hush money to former adult film star stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 election to stay quiet about their alleged affair. now, sara there's nothing wrong with paying someone to be quiet about a personal relationship with allegation here is that this money was paid help his
5:03 am
chances in the 2016 election, and then he is charged with falsifying business records and tried to cover up why he was paying michael cohen back. now, in terms of this new evidence, trump's lawyers argue that it helps their client and they need at least it's 90 days to review it. but the district attorney insists that there's only a small portion of it that's actually relevant to this case. and if it helps anyone, it helps them. so sarah, today, we don't expect this case will be dismissed, but we do expect the judge will give us some clarity on when this trial will go so forward. >> there is also the deadline today for the bond payment of $464 million. donald trump has gone on social media and talked all about the fact that he says he has the money his attorneys say otherwise, what can you tell us about that case today >> yeah, definitely mixed messages coming out of the trunk camp, but this has been an embarrassing episode for the former president who prides himself on his identity as a very successful billionaire. because so far he has not been able to to post is 400 and million bond that he needs to
5:04 am
put forward. this is related to the civil trial that he faced several months ago, where he was found liable for fraud, but he is two older sons and the trump organization the judge found lied about their net worth to get better terms on loans and insurance rates and in order to go forward with his appeal, he needs to post this bond while that appeal is processed. now, at this point, he has not been able to post this bond. dozens of insurance companies have declined to underwrite him so unless he can come up with this money some other way, it is possible, sarah, that the attorney general could start seizing his assets. now that's not something that will definitely start today. there is a process there that we know she has filed paperwork in westchester county outside manhattan. so that could be a place where she is prepared to seize assets as she needs to water. this also an optics of political question right? about seizing property if that's something that could potentially help trump. so it's a huge de, here in new
5:05 am
york for former president trump yeah, he's certainly been fundraising off of all of these cases. we will have to wait and see what happens in court today on both fronts. thank you so much, paula reid outside court for us, john. >> all right. well, this now is former assistant attorney general for the state of new york, tristan snell. he led the investigation and prosecution of trump university council or thanks so much for being with us paula and zero, we'll just talk about the political implications of maybe having property seized. but let's look at that another way. what would happen if donald trump were not a politician, if he were just normal defendant x, who lost a civil fraud trial, what would happen? but to his properties and bank accounts today, if he did not post bond the normal processes first you go after the bank accounts because they're the easiest things to get that liquid cash. he has bank accounts in new york. >> those are gonna be the >> first thing is that the authorities will go after the properties would be next,
5:06 am
there'd be no question that this process would play out during normally, if he were a normal person, he's getting special treatment and that is the thing that really needs to stop here if he were if he were not really is if we're not claiming to be this special person that is somehow above the law, then this process actually would have played out years ago. and it would have resulted in his assets and property being seized he is getting special treatment >> yes is absolutely been getting special treatment is beginning special treatment this entire way. he was able to evade accountability in this matter all these years. might we're talking about events that happened back in the back in 2010, things in terms of the fraud terms of the falsification of business records case involving michael cohen. those were events that occurred back in 2016. all of this is stuff that would have come home to roost for any other defendant not named donald trump long before now you say he's the financial
5:07 am
equivalent of a flight risk? what do you mean by that >> is? >> i mean that he's already shown in this case and the ag case, he already violated a court order that said that he couldn't move assets around during dependency of the case. he took $40 cash out of the trump organization its main holding company, and used it to pay all their expenses of his including a very large tax bill video, the federal government, for $29 and including money that he needed to pay to e. jean carroll for assaulting and defaming her we've already seen visibility to take some of these assets that now belong to the state of new york to pay this judgment unless he manages to win on appeal he needs to actually keep these assets in place according to that court order here already violated that so my feeling is in the ideal, the ag's office should
5:08 am
be pursuing this. they should be looking to expedite things, collection processes because he is he's already proven that he will find ways to make these assets disappear and to evade the judgment that's been handed down against it. >> expedite >> how if you are the attorney general of new york this morning what assets or bank accounts would you try to impact and how would you do it? >> there are a number of trump bank accounts that are held here in new york, at least as far as anybody knows, that certainly was true as of a decade ago. as far as anybody knows, that there are probably still some of those accounts that are still in new york, any new york account or a bank that does business in new york. and that's virtually all banks. they're going to listen if they get a court order, they're not going to not pay attention to that court order. they're going to up there when you abide by that court order. >> so those liquid assets that
5:09 am
cash that is something that can already be be seized if he does not post the bond today the properties take a bit longer to do. there is a legal process that must be that must play out. that's a process though that takes months, not years. so this is something that could happen fairly quickly >> yeah, i think there's been a lot of focus on the properties, maybe because they're higher profile, but it seems to be what you're saying is that the bank accounts could be what she goes after first and maybe even today it might not be today, but could it be this week? i absolutely think that it could be i think they've been ready for this. trump has been telegraphing for a couple of weeks now that he is not going to be able to come up with that money, at least his lawyers are right. his lawyers are saying we can't come up with the money. trump's still sitting there boast staying like he's going to be able to somehow come up with this money that is just as it lying around. he clearly doesn't because he did this
5:10 am
problem would have gone away by now and the fact that we're sitting here today shows that he simply does not have the cash trust and snell. thank you so much for being with us and explaining what we may see as soon as today. >> is there a thing conversation with a looming threat of donald sums property being cs will look at how that could impact the rest of new york city's real estate market. and the biden administration sends a warning to israel ahead of a potential invasion in rafah. later today, we'll hear from baseball superstar shohei ohtani about his interpreter, who has been fired over ties to gambling i'm elizabeth wagmeister in los angeles in >> this is cnn. >> oh, good. anyone possibly know that every single one of these pistachios is guaranteed to be wonderful by reading right here. >> wonderful pistachios are the

5:15 am
>> cnn breaking news >> we have major breaking news just in, in the world of business and aviation, the ceo of boeing dave calhoun, just announced that he is going to step down. he will leave boeing by the end of the year. of course course this follows the string of troubles that boeing has been having that door plug blowing out of the alaska airlines flight. questions about stuff sanders at their productions among suppliers as well. this appears to be part of a major shakeup in the entire company, not only is the ceo stepping down we've also learned the company's chairman and the head of the commercial airplane unit will also be leaving. again, we're just getting this information or aviation chord just want a pete muntean is digging into the details. he will have a full report. just moments from now. so standby for that
5:16 am
>> also >> this morning, key meetings in washington between israeli officials and the biden administration. they come as a relationship has become increasingly we tense. and as the world is waiting for hamas to respond to a proposal to release israeli hostages in exchange for palestinian prisoners, seen as the signs is at the white house or less, what are you expecting today? >> well, john, this is shaping up to be a consequential week when it comes to the war between israel and hamas. and these meetings here in washington, dc really could serve as a key test of how much sway the us has over israel's operations as they seek to route it out, hamas. now, this will start with israeli defense minister golan to a visiting washington this week starting today with a meeting here at the white house with national security advisor jake sullivan, that focus of that meeting is expected to be on trying to get those remaining hostages out of gaza, as well as surging more humanitarian aid into gaza. golan is also slated to meet with defense secretary lloyd austin and secretary of state
5:17 am
antony blinken while he's here in washington, in part to talk about is the israeli's military needs as they are continuing this campaign against hamas. but then there is also a separate meeting that is set to take place, really drilling in on the tensile operation into rafah. this is something that the white house has been warning about for weeks telling israel that they should not proceed with an operation in this town unless they have plans in place to ensure the evacuation and protection of the 1.4 million palestinians civilians who are there. israeli prime minister netanyahu has vowed that he will move ahead with an operation there with or without the support of the us. now, officials here at the white house are gathering top israeli officials, including ron dermer, the former israeli ambassador to the us to talk about alternative plans for rafah as they are hoping to avoid a catastrophic humanitarian crisis there. and so these meetings are really will serve as a key test of how much influence the us has in his thrills operations at a
5:18 am
time when we have seen the relations between the two countries really frame >> well that science at the white house, you know, you'll be watching these meetings very closely. thank you so much for being with us. sarah >> all right the toxin washington coming as israel weights on hamas to agree to a us proposed prisoner-hostage exchange under the proposed deal, israel release around 700 palestinian prisoners 100 of whom are serving life sentences for killing israeli nationals in exchange hamas would release 40 israeli hostages, joining me now is barack were v to cnn political and global affairs analyst and politics and foreign policy reporter at axios. you helped broke, broke that, break the news on this movement. you've been following the negotiations for a very long time, very closely, closely now, israel had initially call the idea of handing over 700 to 1,000 palestinians for 40 israeli hostages. absurd. how did we get here? how did that change?
5:19 am
>> well, and also three weeks ago, only three weeks ago, the same more or less the same proposal was given to israel by qatar, the mediator in the talks, and israel rejected it at the time out of hand. >> three >> weeks later, israel now, accepts more or less the same proposal with the release of 700 palestinian prisoners among them 100 prisoners were serving life sentences in israeli prisons for the release of 40 israeli hostages and three weeks for those hostages. in captivity. that's not a small and i think if this deal goes through in the next few days and weeks, i think this will be one of the main questions. why did venture minute and you decide to wait three weeks to accept more or less the same deal that'll be a question that certainly israelis will be asking and i, i'm curious, there are a couple of issues that are outstanding here to
5:20 am
have this still through the entry of aid and israeli military repositioning according to our sources, what what can you tell us about these two sticking points >> the number i think the number one issue even even more than the release of prisoners is the return of palestinian civilians are now mostly in the rafah area to gaza city and northern gaza. israel right now controls a corridor that basically splits the gaza strip in half. and prevents people from going to the north. one of hamas's demands is two is that the idf would draw from this point or so that there'll be free movement to the north, the israelis at the beginning did not agree to any compromise on this issue now, after a us bridging proposal, the israelis are willing to discuss a gradual return to the north of something between 2,000.3 thousand palestinians a day,
5:21 am
mostly women and children. i'm not sure this is enough for hamas, but again, this is another step from these side towards a d i want to give some sense of what's happening inside israel vis-a-vis what we're hearing from president biden here in the us. and to some degree, schumer calling for netanyahu to step away how is that being? you'd inside israel with president biden in particular, warning him about what he does in rafah >> i think this is one of netanyhau's biggest problems right now because chuck schumer wasn't only a staunch supporter of israel, which he still is he was a personal friend, netanyahu for years and years and years always said especially during the obama presidency, said you know, i did not lose the democrats. look at my relationship with chuck schumer and now everyone are looking at this
5:22 am
relationship with chuck schumer. and it doesn't look good at all. >> but if you want >> another sign of where things are going, and this is also connected to the us's relationship, but also to the hostage deal and ceasefire two hours from nauta security council is going to convene and vote on a draft resolution put forward. but by several of its members, that is calling for ceasefire during ramadan, but also for the release of the hostages. the us, as far as i know from my sources, at the moment, is not expected to veto this resolution. and if this will happen, it will be the first time that security council resolution calling for a ceasefire will pass without the us veto since the beginning of the war. this will be a clear sign from the biden administration for israel, time is running out >> brockovich. that's bag that because the us has vetoed some of the others. and then you had russia and there's vetoing the us proposal for a ceasefire,
5:23 am
but that would be a very big development if this went through barack ravi. thank you for your reporting. i appreciate it. john we're getting new details this morning out of russia about the men charged in the terror attack that left well over 100 dead there. >> and then the breaking >> news, the ceo of boeing, stepping down amid a series of safety incidents a major shakeup, but the aviation giant the one thing republicans and democrats have been common, they're both waiting for their nominees to die this such white trash in congress you have young american same than lod is getting it, right. why don't you take a gap year in abbotta bach? show were right and left talk to jump santa they need to save space. >> cnn presents an encore presentation of hbo's real time with bill maher, saturday at eight on cnn >> what you're just buying a car on carbonic or you got pre-qualified in two minutes

will boeing. dave calhoun announced he is stepping down. he will leave by the end of the year. this is part of a major shakeup at the company that has seen all kinds of questions about safety in its production line. seen as pete muntean is with us now, pete, i promised moments ago when we reported this you were digging to find out an explanation and to tell us exactly what's going on here. what have you learned? the clear explanation here is that this is all stemming from the alaska airlines door plug blowout back on january 5th and the ntsb found that plane left the boeing factory last october without the four critical bolts that held the door plug on a serious quality control lamps here and initially, the fall man was the head of the boeing max program, somebody that a lot of people had not heard of now, the top executives at the company are going. dave calhoun, the ceo who came in after the max eight incidents of 2018 in an 2019 that killed
5:29 am
346 people in two crashes abroad he is now stepping down at the end of the year according to this latest release from boeing, that is really significant. many wondering whether it's too little too late after calhoun made his plea that boeing airplanes are safe, not only on capital well, hill, the top lawmakers in the senate committee that oversee aviation, but also to airlines ceos like alaska airlines ceo ben minicucci, who wanted 150 million in damages from boeing after the door plug blowout also, criticism from united airlines ceo scott kirby and american can airlines ceo. all of these companies, the backbone of their fleets are boeing airplanes and many of these companies have orders for more boeing airplanes were also learning that larry kellner, the board chair, will retire and stan deal, who is the head of boeing commercial airplanes, is also stepping down promoting a relative newcomer, stephanie
5:30 am
pope, to that position. these have all been people heavily involved in the defense of boeing after the door plug blowout earlier this year, this is a really, really significant shakeup. many had been wondering if there were going to be changes at the top of the company and now we are seeing that that is happening right? now. it is unfolding. so this is a really huge change, john. and the fact that boeing is doing this, there was a lot of irony here. dennis muilenburg was the ceo that bowing at the time of the next eight incidents in 2,018.20, 19. dave calhoun came into power. now he is leaving as the result of another incident on the maxilla in this feels like a complete decapitation of the top layer of management at boeing p, i guess one question is, dave calhoun says he intends to step down by the end of the year it's still march that leaves a lot of months here between the end of the year. can he even last that long >> that's a great question.
5:31 am
and you know, i think workers at the boeing plant in renton, washington to the cell under the microscope, not only by the top brass of billing, but also by the faa and the ntsb will have that question to they have had the pressure put on them with a day-long safety stand downs there at boeing. a lot of criticism about the type of work that they do on the line. and there's been a lot of question about whether or not there was proper documentation for this door-plug work that took place at the boeing factory, some work needed to be done near the door-plug. they removed the door plug and then it was clearly not properly put back in. and so many workers at the bottom at boeing had been feeling a lot of scrutiny and they've wanted to know whether or not there would be change at the top, but it's a great question. will calhoun stay until the end of the year that remains to be seen? and you're right. there was a lot of months left. we know that in the first quarter of this year, a boeing reported a tremendous financial loss as a result of the bad press around the door-plug blowout. >> pete muntean, huge news in the world of aviation. hughes

5:37 am
money case against him. and at the same time, he's facing a major deadline to pay 464 million bond in the new york civil fraud case. if he can't scrounge up that money, the new york attorney general couldn't begin seizing some of his assets, including potentially freezing some of his bank accounts, joining us. now cnn's harry enten. harry, how hard is it to try and value these? because he says one thing and then you look at other other estimates >> how do you know >> yeah, it is the big question. how do you know? all right. so perhaps there is no more famous property that trump has than his triplex on fifth avenue. and the values aren't always easy to figure out because trump claimed back in 2015 that this was worth $350 million. now that's a large chunk of change. new york attorney general tish james called that quote, unquote, an obvious falsehood. and you know what experts agree with that because forbes said just last
5:38 am
year that it was only worth $52 million. and this falls in line with something that a lot of critics of donald trump has said have said that he inflates the prices or the values of his properties and certainly in this case when it comes to the trip, the triplex forbes certainly agrees with that. >> that's around a $300 million. >> it's just a just a little >> bit different, just a little bit. all right. take us through park avenue. what does that one look? yeah. all right. so let's stay on the island of manhattan or write even within trump's own valuation sometimes these values can differ a little bit. all right, so this is the park avenue vout the trump org sensation 2020 put out a statement that said that this was worth nearly 136 million. again, a lot of money, but the trump organization received an appraisal back in 2020 that same year that it was only worth $84.5 million so this again goes to the idea that donald trump's organization or he himself puts out values to the public of how

much these properties are worth that simply put, aren't in line with what's most experts are finding. and in this particular case, what the trump organization actually received an appraisal of in that very same year. usually the appraisal is what people who are going to buy a property are going to look at, not what you say it is. all right. so we'll have to see what happens there. seven springs that is out in the burbs. a very huge property? >> yes. so trunks trump's westchester, seven springs, it's a golf course and a state. the value here, this is from forbes, so there's no there's no differences with what trump is saying here. they say it's worth 25 million. now, why is this property so important? because we know that tish james, the new york attorney general's office, has filed judgments against trump in westchester. so there are a lot of people believed that if she and her office is going to move on a particular hello. property first, they believed that this one is more in line perhaps than any other. this is worth only $25 billion. far
5:40 am
less than the amount that trump will actually, oh, in this civil case. >> and then there is perhaps one of the most famous ones outside of new york, mar-a-lago. >> yeah, mar-a-lago. if there's one property during trump's presidency see that became associated with the former president united states. it's mar-a-lago, the new york attorney general estimates that back in 2022, that is where $75 million, so significantly more than seven springs. but here's what i would point out is the new york attorney general's office doesn't have office down in florida, right? they haven't filed any judgments down in florida. so while i know a lot of trump critics would love if tish james office moved on this particular property. it's probably not the first one that they're going to go after, even though it's where $75 million, there are some other reasons why she wouldn't necessarily go after that, including the fact that trump has a lot more legal leeway, given the fact that he currently lives there, but it's where $75 million maybe they'll eventually go after it. but at this particular point, it doesn't look like the first one that they'll go after. it looks pretty >> clear that is probably going to be seven spring. yes. there's also the base i can count that much easier. yes,
5:41 am
absolutely. >> put a hold on >> harry enten. >> always a pleasure. >> was all mine. john. >> so moments ago, donald trump posted on social media, he said he is being forced to sell his babies which might come as news to ivanka and don, maybe not erik, we will see with this now, leo jacobs, a commercial litigation and bankruptcy attorney and attorney lenny morris, incumbents who has mediated fraud claims before the new york attorney general's office, leo, i just want to walk through the mechanics next of what could happen starting today. if the attorney general decides, i'm done waiting >> how does it work? how does she get a hold of a bank account or a property? >> very simply, you put out a notice the ag's office puts out a notice which is function as an execution after the execution gets sent out to a sheriff, the sheriff has to deliver. yes, the levee acids. there's two types of assets in the world. personal property, real property. so say for example, she wants to sell 40 wall street there's an
5:42 am
execution that's sent out to the sheriff. the sheriff puts out a notice, donald trump has eight weeks to do something about it with real property. i'm personal property. she sends out an execution through the sheriff to a bank count, say chase bank count. he has about two to three weeks to do something about it. something about it that he has to do is really get a protective order. it's a fancy way of saying, you know what, you've got to pause or halt this enforcement proceedings because i'm going to limit condition and modify the judgment that's the process. >> so sheriff share asked for money, donald trump tries to block it, but the sheriff goes in there and ultimately he get her or his hands on it? correct. >> all right. let me talk to me about the properties themselves here, because here he was putting up on the board, there are a lot of different values, but it isn't exactly forgetting how much they're actually worth, which is a whole separate issue here. >> but >> who owns which parts of them in a lot of these trump property? but he seems to be an issue also exactly. and real property is a lot more complicated. unfortunately, then going after cash in a bank account, these buildings in
5:43 am
particular all these problems properties, trump owns them, most likely in a labyrinth of llcs. and with joint venture partners. so in fact, determining what his ownership stake is in each of them is going to be difficult not to mention the fact that there's probably mortgages and other creditors in line so it's going to take a little bit of time. so what does that mean? there are other people in line here where we'll new york state beat in line if it wants to get some value out of said property. yeah. the general rule is karsten first in right so we're coming where we are now. so new york state is going to take its place in line. so for each of these properties, there's gonna be a pretty difficult analysis to determine which one funds to attack first. and that's probably why they're looking at westchester first if you had a >> choice between a bank account and a property, which would you choose? >> it would depend on how much money's in the bank accounts, right? so there's a lot of money in the bank, counsel, you could discover that through notice it's very simple prosity put out notice, and they'll
5:44 am
tell them right away how much money is in there. or you go after the real property, real property is going to depend on what type of liens there are and how many leaves there are. so the analysis i think is taking place at the ag's office as we speak what's a fire sale and how could that impact the ability to get any of this money? >> yeah. if lots of property comes on the market right at the same time or in a rush fashion or auction, it's possible that the prices will be down into the ground and it will potentially devalue his assets. >> do you feel like that's a real option here? i mean, it's thrown around. do you think it will really happen >> you know why it's really hard to tell what's going to happen and it's going to depend a lot on what equity is remaining painting in these, in these buildings and these properties >> another thing i want to clear up, you're just so for the mortals out there, when we talk about putting a lien on something, what exactly does that mean? can the attorney general do it? and what would the impact be? >> so let's let's the french between, i guess what a lien would be in whatever
5:45 am
restraining notice would be when you are sending out an restraining notice, it's a fancy way of saying, hey, donald can't move your assets. you can't sell your assets as opposed to lean. it says, hey, donald, i have a lien now that if you sell or your attempt to sell those assets, even if i told you didn't i'm going to have to be paid in the regular, ordinary course of business relative to the creditors. so that's really the difference. how much will we know by the end of >> today do you think >> gosh, it's anyone's guess? >> well, i would say that we're going to know a lot because the deadline i think is today, it is to put put to put the bond to put the bond up. and if there's a failure of putting up that bond donald trump is going to have to move quite swiftly in getting protective order. >> leo jacobs, great to see you anymore. some comments. thank you so much for your help here. thank you, sarah >> all right ahead. you might call it second winter for some states, they're being slammed with a snowstorm and in other states dangerous weather whipping wins and potential threats of tornadoes. tornadoes. we have the latest

out and buy tickets for two lotteries. you likely will not win happening now, blizzard warnings from colorado to minnesota and parts of the southeast i'm putting texas and the midwest 25 million people are in the path of severe storms. and there are fears of tornadoes as well >> happening today. the dodgers superstar shohei ohtani is expected to address the sports betting allegations against his former interpreter. that interpreter is accused of stealing millions of dollars placing bets with a former bookie under federal investigation. but he has said that ohtani was not involved in the bedding still ohtani has spoken about this yet there are a lot of questions surrounding this whole incident. sara >> all right. this morning for man accused of killing at least 137 people at a concert hall outside moscow are facing terrorism charges. it was russia's worst terrorist attack in decades the suspect appears in court, they visibly beaten up. and injured 1 seemingly missing an eye,
5:52 am
joining me now, a cnn contributor, former cnn moscow bureau chief, jill dougherty. jill, it's so nice to see you one of the things that struck me here is that russia and the united states, sworn enemies at this point. and yet the us says, it warned russia that a potential terrorist attack would take place. what is this relationship like when it comes to intelligence? how does that work? >> well, the united states says it had a duty to inform and so regardless, what the country is, it will inform if it understands that some type of terrorist attack is going to take place. and the us says that's exactly what they did with russia now. and they say they did it directly so this presents a real problem for vladimir putin and the kremlin, because right now they're trying to explain how this happened and then avoid blame for vladimir putin. and that is not easy and that's why i think you're seeing a lot of kind of messaging and unclear
5:53 am
obfuscation, et cetera. essentially, what they're saying is we don't have any communication with the kremlin, don't have any communication with the west or the westerners. however, maybe our security services do, but the whole thing is did vladimir putin ignore this warning. we know that he on the records said he called the black nail& an attempt to undermine russia. so it's a real problem for the kremlin i was going to ask you what you think it might do to his narrative with the people of russia that he was unable to safeguard the country and there was a warning in place yeah. >> i think that that is really the question because this is not the first time that there have been attacks that have really been brutal over the years, 24 years with putin. and it really have been a lot of attacks. and each time there was, i would say an undercurrent of people feeling
5:54 am
they were unprotected, that the government simply couldn't take care of them. now, here you have vladimir putin just days ago, a week ago being re-elected to a fifth term. and this happens so that undermines i think the idea among russians that he really is their protector, that said the kremlin is going to try to very quickly veered off in another direction thanks to state media and propaganda and say, well, it's just part of international terrorism. and we should cooperate. but they're not cooperating with us because of the war in ukraine. >> a >> a lot of this obviously is in the context of the war against ukraine. >> i wanted to ask you about that russia is still trying to link this attack to ukraine, while also saying that these four men are from tajikistan and at the same time they're hammering ukraine with strikes. i mean, could this propaganda work to its people? because certainly it is not going to
5:55 am
work with the international community. i think vice president kamala harris was asked whether or not the united states thinks ukraine had any role in it. she flatly said, no, this is isis k yeah, i think that it could sarah, because after all, for average russians they are >> watching tv and on tv there is no opposition media whatsoever. it's all. >> then the state messaging and propaganda and so if they feel and they're already set up for this by russian propaganda, that the west is against them. and ukraine is just a pawn of the united states and nato, et cetera. they could believe that i think when in a situation like this, which is truly traumatizing, this is just a horrendous attack that people want to understand it. and the fear that's being generated right now, and the propaganda might come together to convince people. well it's, we have to
5:56 am
stand by our president, be kept because after all, we're under attack all right. >> i do want to ask you about the four accused terrorists who were so says are from tajikistan they were severely beaten at some point one person looked like they're missing an eye. one came out with a plastic bag over his head. there's video of this how does this play in the russian public that these men may have been beaten and tortured by russia's law enforcement when apparatus i think they'll probably look at it with two different viewpoints. one is those guys were terrorists, they deserve everything they got. and then the other side of it is the brutality. i'm not saying this. we have to see the proof, but the brutality of security forces, not only for terrorists but for actually opposition people who have come on the streets against the war in ukraine we've seen the
5:57 am
video, people being deaton and dragged off. so it's hard. i think for russians to really except all of this is very frightening to think that you are alone. but i can tell you i've seen on social media comments exactly like that. we have no one to protect us. it's a terrible situation for some russians >> yeah, and there have been thousands of people going out and laying flowers lot of sorrow and russia, after 137 people killed in that terror attack, jill dougherty, it's always a pleasure for to see you. thank you so much for coming on john. >> all right. this morning, the call is coming from inside the building. a lot of people inside nbc, not at all happy that former rnc chair ronna mcdaniel has been hired by the network and the criticisms very public and on tv. listen >> we believe nbc news should seek out conservative republican voices to provide
5:58 am
balance in their election coverage. but it should be conservative republicans, not a person who used her position of power to be an anti democracy election denier. and we hope nbc will reconsider its decision it goes without saying that she will not be a guest on morning to in her capacity as a paid contributor cnn's oliver darcy is with us now. oliver, any sign nbc is reconsidering here >> well, they're dealing with a fire alarm fire john, i mean, comments like this from inside the building on the air. >> all >> remarkable to see that today was morning joe. yesterday was chuck todd. meet the press >> absolutely. >> ripping the network for this higher. and as you heard, mika brzezinski say they're, it's not because she's a republican, it's because she was an active participant in trying to subvert democracy back in 2020. that's the issue here. she was an election denier, but she was active participant in trying to
5:59 am
basically overthrow the election over in michigan. and so that's the red, bright red line to nbc. journalists are really upset was crossed by their, by their brass here and also, she has a long history. john russia mentioned demonizing the press. this is not someone who is just slightly critical well, this is someone who launched really ugly attacks, vial attacks on msnbc anchors over the years she launched ugly attacks on nbc news journalists over the years i've been questioning why some of them have jobs. and so for nbc news, then too bring her on as part of the team, as they said, really struck people the wrong way. now, what they do, i'm not sure they're dealing with a a huge public relations disaster to say the least. and i sent it's only growing when you have a anchors like this speaking on the air, it gives you a sense of how in raged the journalists are behind the scenes. and so over nbc, cesar conde, who is the
6:00 am
chair of nbc universal newsgroup he has a decision to make. what what is he going to do? and i think it's going to speak volumes about not only him, but what nbc news represents as an organization moving forward a lot of people watching the what's next very closely, oliver darcy. thank you so much for your reporting >> cnn breaking news all right. at any moment, donald trump is expected to arrive at a new york city courthouse. he faces quite a day. >> he >> does one case as they could land him behind bars, the other that puts his fortune, his properties, and honestly maybe his pride at risk. trump will appear in front of a judge for for a hearing in his criminal hush money case. this involves adult film star stormy daniels and his former fixer, michael cohen, the judge today could set a trial date. we do backed trump to speak before he goes into core. now, this is a location he has been known to
