berm and kate lduan. this months olittle in fighting turn political paralysis will be over. >> president biden is set to sign the $95 billion package of foreign aid for ukraine israel, and taiwan. this is after the senate gave david the green light late last night and a 79 to 18 vote. the big winner here, us allies and congressional bipartisan sonship. because after what was it eight months of stalling by far-right house republicans. other republicans and democrats came together to get past this. there's a little something extra in this package as well included is the forced sale of tiktok, the concern is us national security. and when the bill is signed, that is going to trigger the clock on tiktoks, china-based parent company. >> they then have nine months to sell or have the app banned

from american app stores seen as arlette saenz has new reporting from the white house about everything that went on behind the scenes to get up to this moment are lead what first and foremost ones the president can assign this today? >> okay, psident bidens vowing to act quickly saying that he is ready to gn this legislation the coming hours with the ultimate goal of getting this new weapons and equipment to ukrainian soldiers hands. this week, the package really marks a major milestone for president biden, who spent the past six months pushing publicly and privately to try to get this across the finish line in all this package includes nearly 61 billion for ukraine as well as another 26 billion for israel, the president in a statement last night saying, quote, this critical legislation will make our nation and world more secure as we support our friends who are sending themselves against terrorists like hamas and tyrants like putin. now biden spoke by phone with ukrainian president volodomyr zelenskyy on monday to talk through what the next

round of aid will look like. sources say the biden administration has been working towards a releasing a new package which would be around 1 billion. and sources say that could include for the first time a long range atacms also air defense in artillery ammunition as well as bradley fighter vehicles. but this new surge of assistance for ukraine really comes after months of intense behind the scenes work by president biden and his team to cajole members of congress specifically with the goal of bringing house speaker mike johnson on board. johnson was a relative unknown to officials here at the white house back in october when he took the speakership. but one thing that the white house knew they were also grappling with in that moment was discontent within the right flank who did not want johnson to bring up a vote for ukraine aid separately it out. other conditions, a tie to that. now, this all really lead to biden and his team really drilling down in these talks

over the past few months. one directive that president biden, i'm told, had for his team was really trying to lay out the national security implications, but also paint a full intelligence picture of what ukraine was experiencing on the battlefield as this debate progressed, how they were impacted by a lack of munitions and what could happen going forward if they were not provided this additional assistance. biden also told his team to try to lay off directly attacking and johnson as much as possible as they were really hoping to give room to these goes to try to have them be productive. now those conversations really have picked up over the course of the past four weeks with a counselor to the president, steve or shati, a. serving as the main conduit between the white house and johnson speaking regularly, you also have the director of legislative affairs working all sides on the staff-level. there were trying to get this across the finish fish line, which happened last night with that senate vote. >> i'm sure did. and then signing it today, it's good to see are like right. reporting. thank you. john. >> all right. breaking

overnight, columbia university extended negotiations with protesters for the next 48 hours to dismantle a pro-palestinian encampment on campus. this after initially issuing a midnight deadline, which would have been overnight for the tends to be removed. protests have spread campuses across the country. today, house speaker mike johnson announced he will visit columbia to meet with jewish students and speak on what he calls a quote troubling rise of virulent antisemitism on us college campuses see it as omar jimenez is live this morning outside the columbia campus. what's the status there yeah. >> so right now the last of protest so we saw dissipated within the last few hours at this point, but that difference has been those protesters were outside the campus where we are versus the encampment led protests so it is happening on campus grounds as well? this is now the eighth day we have seen that in camp and as you mentioned, the columbia university president minouche shafik set a midnight deadline

for an agreement to be reached on clearing using cabinets. that midnight deadline came and went. and then hours later, we got an update from universities looks person that actually conversations are now progressing and based on those constructive talks, they are extending talks for another 48 hours now, some of those tentpoles of negotiation that they say hey, they've made progress on dismantling and removing a significant number of tents ensuring that those not affiliated with columbia university leave the encampment and taking steps to make sure the encampment is welcome to all and prohibiting discriminatory or harassing land in which obviously you a lot of detention that has been there at the core of this protests, who they say they are four, solely pushing columbia university to debit to divest from corporations. they say support is israeli apartheid, and genocide. but of course it is created an atmosphere of tension for some campus. it prompted the school to move to hybrid learning because as they said, it was out an abundance

of caution and for safety being a priority. and some jewish students, we have spoken to say they felt intimidated by the displays on campus, while not all jewish students have felt th way at thisoint, and it highlights sort ofhe back-and-fth that we have seen or how the university wants to handlthis. because last week was when they sent in the new york police department to clear out this encampment and it only seemed to inflame some of these protesters and they revived these encampments even more so. now here we are a week later. and as you mentioned as speaker johnson is accepted this campus later today, who will see where these negotiations lead omar jimenez outside, look university campus. thank you. sarah all right. >> just a few hours. the supreme court will hear arguments that could set a nationwide precedent on whether pregnant women can get lifesaving aboion services at the er. detailon the idaho casehat is now before th justices, plus he can't help himself of gani did to buy up donald trump violated his gag

will hear arguments live from the supreme court in one of the most crucial abortion cases since roe versus wade was overturned, one that could end with life or death medical care there are stripped away from millions of american women at issue. >> specifically, this morning is whether or not er doctors in idaho, it's a state that has a near total abortion ban will be permanently forced to refuse to provide emergency abortions to pregnant women even when they know the woman's condition will become life-threatening. we should note federal law would normally require doctors to provide that care. the decision is now poised to reverberate across the entire nation during an unprecedented moment in american politics. and health care access, cnn's joan biskupic is joining us now. joan, we're going to hear these comments, the audio of these comments live can you take us through the arguments the justices are about to consider here share, sarah, good morning. back to june022 when the s

supreme court reversed nearly a half-century of constitutional abortion rights in that dobbs ruling. you mentioned shortly after that decision attorney general merrick garland issued a statement reminding everyone of the federal law here, the emergency medical treatment act that does require patients brought to emergency rooms to be stabilized, to be able to have good care. is 1986 law that responded to so-called patient dumping, especially poor patients who might not have been able to pay. but what attorney general garland stresses that that law would allow stabilizing care for a pregnant woman who is suffering complications and who to prevent serious impairment of her health would require a termination of a pregnancy. idaho challenges that saying no this federal law should not preempt it's state ban on nearly all abortions except when a mother's actual life is

in danger when she might die. and that's where the gap is, sarah, in that place between actual imminent death and serious wife conditions, for example, where the pregnant woman's membranes have ruptured. she could have all sorts of tragic complications to a pregnancy that would lead to a risk of her organs and and infection. so that's that's the kind of medical emergencies that are issue here are hearing for the state of idaho will be joshua turner, who is a top constitutional litigator in the state, arguing for the government will be solicitor general elizabeth prelogar mr. turner is going to assert that idaho's ban, just like all the other bands in about 15 other states nationwide, should control in these situations that the federal government, federal law here should not displace state rules for emergency rooms and the federal government will encounter no in

these very difficult situations emergency room medical personnel should care for a woman who might need for life at, for health threatening reasons to have a pregnancy terminated. sarah just could be far-reaching decision that affects so many women. thank you. you so much. joan biskupic. i appreciate it, john. >> all right. any moment in new york, judge, could rule of donald trump has violated the gag order in his criminal take case. it would mean he is in contempt. he made brand new comments overnight in an update on the congressional comeback d from former congressman george santos the. >> sinking of the titanic. >> how would really happen, especially to our premiere sunday at knots? >> right on cn? how could

credibility with the court in arguments over whether the gag order should be lifted. former national enquirer publisher david becker is back on the stand tomorrow after telling the jury how trump asked him to help his campaign in 2015 dean in an agreement to catch and kill stories that might be damaging to trump? well, let's now cnn's brynn jen grass for a sense of where we are and where we're going bread yeah. >> i mean, listen, this gag order is gonna be a major issue, especially since donald trump had an interview prior to going to court yesterday, he gave an interview to our cnn affiliate wpvi in philadelphia on a number of topics, but, uh, use that time to real, again against one of the witnesses in this case, michael cohen, which she has been doing several times. but now it's probably something else that the court is going to consider. take a listen to this michael cohen is a convicted liar and he's got no credibility whatsoever. >> he was a lawyer and you rely

on your lawyers now, listen, this is something the prosecutors brought up yesterday during that gag order hearing. is that trump just will not stop and they even so they're going to file another motion about what he had said per after court the other day regarding michael cohen's. so i imagine another motion is going to be filed regarding this interval so we'll see how that all plays out. we yet don't, we do not know yet when this judge is going to decide about this gag order. but in the meantime, as you said, a main witness, david pecker, is back on the stand tomorrow and a lot was covered yesterday. he sort of set the scene like you said, about this catch and kill scheme, which is at the heart of the prosecution's case and all started with that trump's tower meeting between him, michael cohen, and donald trump. essentially, david pecker saying he was going to be the eyes and the ears of trump's 2016 campaign saying that if he heard any bad stories about donald trump, then he would quote, notify michael cohen, and then he would be able to have them killed in another magazine or

have them not be published published, or somebody would have to purchase them. prosecutors asked him purchase a negative stories about mr. trump so that they would not get published. you mean and he had he responded that they would not get published? >> yes. so it really gives us foundation of how this whole scheme work, which is important, john, of course, because yes, there are the charges for falsifying documents, but prosecutors are trying to make that link to the felony, which is essentially that they did that to conceal another crime. and so this testimony is very important for the jurors to hear. now, pecker was on the stand when court adjourned yesterday. it continues tomorrow with him back on the stand and he was just getting into some spicy testimony which involved the story we have karen mcdougal, which is another playboy playmate, who alleged affair with michael cohen in 2016 and really he was just getting started about how he helped allegedly donald trump a concealed that story from the public eye. yeah. the karen mcdougal self came up just at the very amperage and grass.

says, he does not want to split the vote with his fellow republican nick lalota and cause a democrat to get elected in new york's first congressional district. get those spaces nearly two dozen federal charges, including fraud after being expelled from the house last december, which you remember? >> yes. can we forget? >> so as the us supreme court is taking up a major abortion case today about a ban in idaho were also washing arizona, where arizona state house lawmakers are expected to clear a major hurdle in the effort to repeal an eight that 1800s era abortion ban. we've talked so much about that's really thrown that state into chaos. >> the move today is something that the state house tried and failed to pull up twice. >> last week, seen as to touch a chen is in phoenix. she's joining us now natasha, what has changed this week? what's expected to happen? >> republican source tells me that since last week's two failed attempts there is now believed to be enough votes to

first bypass of procedural hurdle and then repeal this law. the democrats need to, republicans to vote with them for this to happen because of such razor thin majorities for republicans actually in both chambers now, if this happens, that doesn't meant's mediately repealed because then it has to gover to e senate they have to have a couple of readings on this. and the senate is expected did two pass the repeal though, at which point then it goes to the governor. so if this all goes to plan, this wouldn't be officially repealed until early may. now, just to remind viewers what the law is this 18, 64 law that dates back to 18 64 bands, nearly all abortions except in the case of saving the pregnant person's life. there is no exceptions for rape or incest and this wouldn't go into effect until june 8th at the earliest, even if assuming that there's no

repeal here in the state legislature in the meantime, until june 8th, the current law in effect is this 15 week abortion ban that the state passed in 2022. so you can imagine the confusion when you have these two laws side-by-side. that's why the state supreme court had to issue this ruling evoking reaction from people like kari lake running for senate here when the ruling came out, she said this was out of step with arizonans, but this is what she said to the idaho dispatch earlier this week the arizona supreme court said this is the law of arizona, but unfortunately, the people running our state have said we're not going to enforce so it's really political theater. >> we don't have that law as much as many of us wish we did the rest of that interview, she emphasized the importance of focusing on a ballot initiative that abortion rights advocates are trying to put on the november ballot to enshrine

abortion rights in the state's constitution that republicans have said here in the house, that they are going to meet to discuss a counter ballot initiative to oppose that one. >> okay the toss chen in phoenix for us. >> thank you so much, sir. >> all right. joining me now to discuss all of this is cnn political commentator and republican strategist alice stewart and former democratic congressman from new york max rose. thank you both for being here. i'm going to start with the kari lake reaction because i think it pretends a bigger issue here. she is a trump-backed candidate running for senate. she's handled the nir abortion ban in arizona. she's flipped flopped on it two or three times. here's what she said in 2022, about the 160 year-old abortion ban known as ars 13, and i say that because she mentions it in in her speech. and then listen to what she's how she's gone back and forth over the last i don't

know, few months i'm incredibly thrilled that we are going to have a great law that's already on the books. >> i believe it's ars 13, is total ban on abortion that the arizona supreme court just ruled on is out of line with where the people of this state are. the arizona supreme court said this is the law of arizona, but unfortunately, the people running our state have said we're not going to enforce it. so it's really political nickel theater. >> all right. >> so alice to you, is this the best example of how republicans are struggling with this issue abortion as ste-bstate starts to crchown and tried to restrict abortion even more. i would not put kari lake out there as the example of how to do lot of things it's out i n say this look the pro-life community and social conservatives have thought really hard to overturn roe v. wade. and those in the pro-life community will continue to do so. the political reality is,

we understand the reality of this issue. now, in the post-roe era and the post-roe world, every time abortion is a single issue on the ballot states, the pro-abortion crowd has one. so what i recommend and i think republicans need to do politically speaking, moving forward is embraced the current situation. and you can be pro-life, you can be anti-abortion, but you can also do everything you can to protect the sanctity of life and understand what kind of legislation, what kind of laws need to be in place that can be embraced by everyone. and that means protecting the sanctity of life. that means exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother. and let's get away from talking about bands. and let's talk about abortion limits. where can people agree that as a reasonable limit on abortions and have that conversation? and i think nikki haley also hit it on the head and she said, let's make sure and stop demonizing this issue, stop demonizing people on both sides. and let's have rational

conversations on what limits can be in place and that's where republicans need to go moving forward. >> good luck with the rational conversations i all going all over the place. max, i'm curious because the supreme court is now looking at this issue. it's a federal law versus what's happened in idaho, which has basically restricted abortion to the point where it's only to save the life of the mother. no other restrictions. what do you think about this being in the news? how does that help the democrats? do you think? well, this is an awful situation politically for the republican party because they're caught between a political rock and a hard place she, they have this extraordinary large extremist base that is after the overturning of roe seeking to have ultimate bands with no exception they are not satisfied with just the supreme court ruling and of itself, then you have an equally sizable group of independent, very swimmable voters, particularly in these presidential swing states, where this is amongst to be

most motivating issues imaginable for them. >> hence, why you see kari lake and this is candidate agnostic. she may be a bad candidate, but this is every republican candidate. they are trying to appease that extremist base that they need, while also then flip-flopping constantly to go after those independence what we know certifiably right now is that if donald trump had lost the election in 2016 and the democrats were in power, we would not be in this horrific situation and it is imperative and he will do this. the biden campaign will consistently remind voters of that fact. well, let's go to that because president joe biden biden was in tampa, florida. >> he went to florida because the biden campaign believes that that state might be up for grabs, even though it went very heavily for donald trump back in 2016. here's what joe biden said to the crowd. >> now in america today in 2024, women have fewer rights than their mothers and our grandmothers had, because of

donald trump hello. i don't think we're going to let them get away with it. do you okay. >> so that's what he says to the crowd. do you think this is a good bet that using this issue in a place like florida can actually propel them to the white house again they're not going to turn florida up blue. there's no question about that there's some very conservative state and look to your point. yes, donald trump did appoint three conservative justices to the supreme court, which led to overturning roe v wade. and it basically took the decision of abortion out of the hands up nine unelected justices. and put it in the hands of the states that's where it is now, and that's where we need to be having these conversations. but look, i don't blame joe biden for going out and sending him out and vice president harris out talking about abortion because they're underwater on key issues that voters are concerned with for talking about a inflation, the economy, the border, national security, they would much rather be talking about abortion, then issues that are top of mind for voters. and look, this will be a galvanizing issue, politically speaking, i don't

blame them. go out there and rally the base. he clearly needs to rally his base and younger voters because he's losing their support. so it's politically speaking, it's a smart move for him, but you can see right through this, this is he doesn't want to talk about top issues that people have more confidence in donald trump on these issues. especially the economy than they do biden and biden doesn't want to talk about. >> yeah, it's always interesting when republic can leaders talk about states rights issues, right? reminiscent of course, of when they made the same argument about civil rights. of course, you know, when i deployed to afghanistan more than a decade ago, i didn't wear the state of new york flag get on my shoulder if she united states of america and we care about people's rights throughout the country. and of course, any woman any family irrespective of the state that they live in, is one local election away from their rights being significantly restricted and one federal election away from a national ban there is no reason to ever believe donald

trump when he says he would not sign and support a national ban, a federal ban. the second that it hits his desk, there's a reason because you're never gonna get the 60 votes to get that pass. so talking about the ban is just a democratic talking good point that it's not going to happen. so it's an empty argument because they wouldn't get the votes to make that happen. >> and there are the arguments right now we do, we should mention that we are going to hear these arguments to the supreme court on this latest case law i've in the next couple of hours. and i know you will be paying attention to that as we are. thank you so much. both of you for being here. thanks, sarah nelson at this this morning, the federal government is taking on non-compete these agreements. >> millions of americans sign-on to for their jobs to get their jobs. agreements that keep everyone from minimum wage workers too big business ceos from changing their jobs within their industries. this is coming from the federal trade commission and taking on what the ftc's chair said was robbing people of their economic liberty, cnn's matt egan is looking into this. he's joining us now. matt, this is a nationwide ban. what

does this really mean? >> well, this new rule would a noncompetes, as we know that noncompetes, they've been around for ever. they vance people from jumping to rival companies for other certain period of time or a certain geography. sometimes the even prevent workers from starting their own companies. this is not some obscure thing. look at his 30 million us workers are bound by a noncompete agreements that's one in five workers and its everyone from the obvious, like bank executives, tech engineers, to factory managers, security guards, sometimes even dog walkers. it's amazing now here's what this new crackdown would mean if you're in the market right now for a job or you think you will be soon, you should know that when this new rule goes into effect, if it does, it would prevent for profit companies from making employees sign noncompete agreements. they no longer be able to say sign this or lose the job. now, i know a lot people are thinking, well, i already ve not exactbut what does itean for me? we, it would make those existing

agreements uneorceable with the exception of senior executives, those above $151,000 a year and who make policy. nohere's the key though. it has not taken effect yet, it takes effect 120 days after it gets published in the federal register ftc says this would have a massive impact on the economy boosting earnings, innovation by promoting new patents and new business creation. he would even drive down health care costs. the ftc argues by promoting competition in health care. but here's the problem. >> the us chamber of commee is opposed. >> they are reading this is or businesses are not happy. businesses. they argue that noncompetes are needed to protect trade secrets. >> now this rule only got through the ftc narrowly three two, thtwo republican ssenters, they say that i's unlawful and would not survive legal challenges. >> as i mentioned, the chamber, they're already preparing a lawsuit over what they call as an administrative power grab.

>> so listen, kate, i think at the end of the day, pronents, they say ts would be a gam changer for employees, giving them more bargaing per with their bosses. >> the qstion though i whher or not this gets delayed or even killed in e courtroom because it's funny because u say,h non-compet contract law, snow. >> but when u see how many people are impacted, it's huge. >> it's really big this is very interesting all right, let's see where it goes thanks for bringing us jump. >> yeah, exactly zero television correspondents are saying all right, knew this morning, the next time you get jerked around by an arrow for a line, they may be forced to give you an apology in cash. >> and this morning a new report warning that millions of americans are breathing in on unhealthy air pollution which areas are in the danger zone money this morning. brought to you by e trade from morgan stanley, drain commission free

quick show where the other parents we are foreigners so brand. >> new this morning, new rules that could put money in your pocket fast if you get jerked around by an airline, you get a cash refund and delays of three hours or more and also much more transparency in all the field does your charge for almost everything when you fly with us now, secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg, mr. secretary, thanks so much for being with us. so my life gets delayed three hours. what happens and why well, bottom line is you get your money back and you get your money back without having to ask, look, a lot of times, what's happened is there's a scenario where you get delayed a long time as so many hours that maybe you

wind up booking a different tickets same-day, more expensive on a different airline because otherwise, there'd be no point in travel because you're going to miss the meeting or the wedding or whatever you were heading out to do. >> but then you go back to your original airline and they say, well, look, we didn't cancel the flight, so you're not getting your money back now, you're out the original airfare and the extra money it cost to get this new ticket. that's just one example of the kind of scenarios that we hear from passengers time and time again. we're putting a stop up to it now. from now on, when your flight is canceled for any reason, you are entitled to an automatic cash refund and it has to be prompt if you get delayed significantly, that means three hours domestically, six hours internationally, or if there's another significant change to your itinerary, like maybe you were gonna go into one airport. they actually change the airport on you or something like that. you're going to get your money back and importantly, you're gonna get it without having to ask another situation. we see a lot is that you get a cancellation or disruption. the airline says, are so sorry. here's 2000

miles and maybe that sounds good, but that's worth 20 bucks when actually you are owed hundreds. so this is all about making i can get simpler for passengers and also with this rule, new provisions about the information that you should get upfront so that you know before you buy a ticket, now what some of the fees are that are connected to that we're seeing a lot of these hidden fees, junk fees, and it's not a free market if you don't know what you're getting, or how much you're paying before you make that commitment to purchase the ticket in there are now fees for so many different things on an airline. what about the fees you were charged and refunds for things on the plane themselves, the wi-fi doesn't work. do you get that similar refund there if you're in-flight entertainment doesn't work, things like that. >> that's all right. another thing we haven't had up until now is a rule making it abundantly clear that when you pay for one of these ancillary services and you don't get it, then you get your money back for that to wi-fi is a good example. we've all had the experience of the wi-fi not working. if you paid for that

and it doesn't work, you get your mind let me back. same thing with baggage. you pay extra to check a bag. bag doesn't get there then you ought to get your money back for that i know that there are a lot of different things we've been adding in since we set out on this mission to expand passenger rights. so i want to make sure passengers know you can go to flight rights.gov. it's a website with a lot of clear information about what you can expect fact, what we enforce, and a way to let us know if you have a problem with an airline, because we will follow up so far just since this administration got here, just since i got this job, we've seen about $3 billion go back into passengers pockets through refunds and enforcement actions that we've driven and we're going to have more where that came from. this is about also make making sure it's less likely to happen to you in the first place when an airline knows that anybody on a flight that's going to get canceled is going to get their money back. it gives them more of a reason to make the investments and the realistic schedules, the prevent that from happening to you in the first place, mr. kerry, very quickly. >> i know you grew up with parents who are university professors, obviously there are

protests on college campuses across the country pro-palestinian protests. where's the line between free speech, legitimate protest against israeli policy, and perhaps being threatening to some students at the colleges oh, no one should ever feel threatened harassed, intimidated, as they are going about their studies universities by design or replace for free speech, place for the vigorous contest of ideas, especially when there is the kind of anguish that so many are experiencing over the suffering that is taking place in gaza and the suffering of the hostages, israeli hostages as well. that should never, ever lead to an environment of harassment, of intimidation, or violence secretary pete buttigieg, thanks so much for being with us morning. appreciate it thank you all right. >> this morning, an alarming new report about america's air quality, nearly 40% of people across the united states are living in places that ha

unhealthy levels of polluted air. that isccording to new datarom e americ lung association. the report also shows that number is actually on the rise. let's get right to cnn's jacqueline howard for the details on this is there any sense of exactly what is causing this increase? and it's on the rise, it's already bad for 40% of the people that's right, sarah, and we know that wildfires, drought, extreme heat. those are all factors driving this increase, and those are also factors associated with climate change. now, i will say, since the clean air act in 1970, as a nation, we've seen about 78% drop an emissions from air pollutants. but even with that improvement, there are still more than 100 million people in this country breathing unhealthy air. and that's really what this new report sheds light on, sarah. so according to this report, about 39% of people well, in the us

live in places with unhealthy levels of air pollution. and that's an increase from last year when it was estimated about a quarter of us live in places with unhealthy levels of air pollution and ozone. it's a big component of smog that's also a major contributor to this air pollution. the top five cities with the most ozone pollution are all concentrated in the west. the majority are in california. there's one in arizona. then when you look at the top five cities with the cleanest air and the us, most of them are along the east coast. there's one in maine, there's one in north carolina, so we do see these regional differences when we think about the areas with the most air pollution. and we also know sarah, there are many vulnerable groups out there. older adults, infants, pregnant women. so this is a public health concern that really needs a lot of attention it's interesting to see the disparities between the west and the east coast. the west getting all of those fires,

making a big, big, big difference jacqueline howard, thank you so much. appreciate it exactly. so this morning, donald trump is standing by to find out if the judge overseeing his hush money trial is going to hold them in contempt and punish him for violating the gag rule order that has been in place and if he has crossed the line, if that's what the judge decides, what is the penalty going to be, and also the plot thickens. maybe there's perhaps another example of donald trump violating the gag order and new interview with cnn affiliate wpvi was conducted before yesterday's gag order hearing aired after it all wrapped up, donald trump once again, going after michael cohen, listen michael cohen is a convicted liar and he's got no credibility whatsoever. >> he was a lawyer and you rely on your lawyers, but michael cohen was a convicted lie. he was alert for many people, not just me then he got in trouble because of things outside of what he did for me joining me

right now is former attorney for president trump, tim parlatore. >> tim, thank you for getting up early after a late night to help me out. trump, as i said, trump did this interview with the cnn affiliate before the contempt hearing. it didn't air until last night. how big of a problem is this one going to be for trump and also his legal team now i mean, i think that this this interview to me does seem to be a direct violation of the order as it is written and so i think it's problematic for them, especially this airs while the judges currently sitting and trying to decide the issue so the fact that it happened before the hearing, i think helps at least a little bit. i mean, if he had done that interview live yet last night after the hearing then i think the judge would have no choice. >> yeah. yeah. i am not an attorney. i'm don't pretend to be, but the reaction from the judge to trump's attorney during this gag order hearing seems to be something that you

do want to avoid when you are in court. i mean, todd blanche telling the judge president trump is being very careful to comply with your order in terms of the gag or you see it on your screen there. and the judge responding at one point, you're losing all credibility with the court what do you think could happen now? i mean, how does it add it all together? how does todd blanche now explain explain this pbi interview to the judge if and when asked and what do you think happens now? >> the judge also made a comment a little bit later where he said, i would like to hear that from your client. >> and i think what the judge is trying to do figure out and trying to draw blanche into is is this how the lawyer explained it to trump? >> and obviously that's problematic to get into privileged conversations, but todd is kind of telling the line of saying this is what he's done is not a violation of the order and the judge is

trying to figure out what did his lawyer tell him that because if he's complying with his lawyers interpretation, then maybe the wrong person is my target. and so is todd blanche trying to it take fire away from his client? i don't know. but it is definitely a situation that i wouldn't want to be in. >> i mean, i look at this and i think the only real legitimate defense, as i see it too, this is to something that won't work with this judges to attack the breadth of the order itself. and i think that there is an argument to be made there, but it's not going to work until you get up on an appeal. >> yeah. real quick. four, let you go. david pecker was on stand for two-and-a-half hours yesterday. we'll be back on the sanne. he's expected to be on thursday after everything you saw from david pecker in from the line of questioning from prosecutors, what do you think what do you think he
