texas governor greg abbott, about to sign a controversial bill that makes it a state crime to enter the state illegally. this, while the white house and senate negotiators are urgently trying to reach an agreement on border policy before the year is over and we are live at the border. republican presidential front-runner donald trump, unleashing a familiar play from his old campaign book, targeting migrants in his campaign speeches, but his rhetoric, darker than ever. u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin, in israel right now presently display the protections of civilians in gaza , as global calls for a cease- fire mount. we're following these major developing stories and more coming in right here on "cnn news central." ♪

right now, chaos at the southern border, really the focus in washington, texas, and the campaign trail. here in the nation's capital, senators worked through the weekend to still negotiate trying to get republican backed border security measures in exchange for military aid to ukraine as those talks dragged on, the surge in micro crossing in texas has spurred drastic action. u.s. border officials, causing two international railway crossings voting today. a real industry is recalling on the administration to reopen them. >> texas governor greg abbott, a couple hours away from signing a controversial new bill that would take entering texas illegally a state crime. let's take you to the border with a reporter. what are folks saying about the situation? >> reporter: you know, this is really where the broken immigration system on the federal level and state

governor taking actions into his own hands really collide here let me show you around let me set the scene for you. i am in brownsville, texas. this is the border while being built by the state of texas, by governor greg abbott. on the other side is mexico. we are waiting for governor abbott to arrive here actually. as a press conference he will be holding right where you see those vehicles in the backdrop. he will abduct we're expecting him to sign senate bill 4, the controversial bill you just referenced, but back to your question about what's actually going on, on the border right now, there are thousands of migrants crossing into the united states illegally every single day, and this is overwhelming the u.s. border patrol. now, the biden administration has decided to close ports of entry and recently, also rail raise, and in areas being impacted are eagle pass, texas, el paso, texas, and san

ysidro, california. is a lot of community from community leaders in these communities because a lot of the border communities, they rely on the revenue from these crossings. i'll give you an example. in the city of eagle pass, the city there says 50% of their budget comes from those crossings, and they have been dealing with closures for three weeks already. in the state of arizona, arizona governor katie hobbs, a democrat, has expressed frustration with the biden administration because of these decisions. she says this hurts trade, travel, and safety and security of her state because this creates gaps of border security. now, let me explain what she means by that. whenever thousands of migrants enter the u.s. illegally, u.s. border patrol -- and this is the federal law enforcement agency of the united states -- they have to stop what they do normally, which is patrol the u.s. southern border, and they have to be reassigned to

process migrants, to apprehend migrants, these thousands of migrants entering every day. that creates gaps in border security. boris and breanna, i talked to the u.s. border patrol chief, jason owens, just about a week ago about this, and that's what keeps him up at night. it is these border security gaps because his agents are busy processing migrants. we're also, let's talk and as we mentioned this bill in texas, rosa, but what is that going to mean if crossing the border illegally becomes a state crime there? >> reporter: this is a historic bill, brianna, and there's a lot of concern about the bill . a lot of democrats are saying this is going to lead to the racial profiling of latinos in the state of texas. let me take you through this. what this bill does is creates a new state crime for anyone who enters the country illegally. it gives police, including local police, the power to arrest, and it gives judges the

power to deport individuals back to mexico. now, immigration judges have come out saying that this is unconstitutional to the republican author of the previous version of this bill has said this is unconstitutional, and there is all sorts of calls from immigration organizations, advocacy organizations, rights organizations, calling on the governor not to move forward with this or for the federal government to take action to stop sb 4, because as you know, the supreme court has upheld that immigration is a federal function, and this is the state of texas taking it into its own hands. >> rosa flores, live from brownsville, texas. let's take you to capitol hill with cnn's mommy roger because senators worked through the weekend on this proposed deal that prepares a to ukraine and israel with changes to immigration policy. are they any closer to a deal? >> reporter: they are making progress in these negotiations, or is, but the chance of a deal coming together that can pass

the united date senate this week are incredibly grim. there is growing expectation this will be punted until january, and there is still a lot of uncertainty about whether or not congress can actually pass legislation to deal with an issue that has dogged congress for decades. immigration policy, dividing the two parties, and much different opinions between the house and senate about what actually needs to be done. behind closed doors, the president has offered a number of concessions to move closer to the republican position, dealing with tighter assignment restrictions, expanded detentions for migrants, as well as greater expulsion of authority. these have generated significant pushback already from the left, but he's also facing criticism from the right. there are republicans, particularly in the house, who do not want to give in to the hard-line position they took in passing a much tougher bill, with a much stricter immigration to pass earlier this year. where did this go? there still a lot of questions whether or not a deal can be

reached. if it is reached, can i get the 60 votes in the united states senate, a majority of the narrowly divided house? all huge questions, but even if a deal would reach today between a handful of negotiators were working on this issue through the weekend, getting ants and actually drafting it on the floor is still a major lesson. senate majority leader chuck schumer said he wants about this week, but moments ago, guys, he would not commit to having a vote. negotiations are ongoing. >> a difficult proposition to pass. manu raju, thank you so much . from the probability of it passing to than the actual implications of what it might look like in the blowback for the white house. new details on how president biden's concessions on border policy to get ukraine aid past may put him at odds with key allies who will be charged with mobilizing voters.

>> the fallout, underscoring the political headwinds the biden campaign is facing in the upcoming election. we have cnn white house reporter priscilla alvarez joining us with her new reporting . what can you tell us about this and growing tension over his border concessions? >> reporter: these measures are testing his key allies who are going to be hitting the trail to sell his agenda, but what happens if that agenda starts to look like some of the trump era policies in tightening asylum or expelling migrants who are encountered at the u.s. southern border without the chance to seek asylum? but we knew going into 2024, and the campaign knows this, that the border security is a political liability for them. the polls show there is a dissatisfaction among voters over the president's handling of the u.s./mexico border, and the reality for the president over the last three years is is unprecedented migration in the western hemisphere but has landed at the u.s. southern border and strained federal resources and created challenges for his officials, but this leaning toward stricter measures is not sitting well with his progressive base, and you just have to look at some of what

they are saying to get a key into what that is representative ramirez, who delivered the progressive response to the president's state of the union said the following. quote, i cannot campaign persona in which i can explain tangibly that they are looking for relief , that they are strengthening the asylum status, improving legal pathways. now, talking to the white house, the response to that is the president is opening up legal pathways. some democrats want the hard- line approach, but what this moment captures above all else is that the politics of immigration have moved further to the right, even within the democratic party. where it lands to be seen. >> it is a tough one. priscilla, thank you for that report. we are following breaking his we have a product in the case of hollywood star jonathan majors to the jury has found him guilty of some charges in this your criminal case, which stems, of course, from a domestic incident with his former girlfriend. >> majors is best known for his roles in marvel films and tv

shows, along with creed 3. elizabeth wagner meister joint is now along with cnn legal analyst joey jackson elizabeth, first to you. what can you tell us about what he has been found guilty of? >> jonathan majors was found guilty on some charges stemming from this domestic dispute. now, this all stems from an incident that occurred in march of this year between jonathan majors and his ex-girlfriend, grace jabbari. they were in a car , and evidence that was released during the trial showed them outside of the car. now what grace jabbari alleged is that jonathan majors struck her in the head, also on her arm. there was a doctor who testified during the trial that said she had a fracture on her finger, so he has been found on one count of assault and another with harassment and was acquitted on two other charges. >> and joey, you are following this what is your reaction to this verdict? >> reporter: the reaction is the jury had a lot to evaluate , and by finding him guilty on some charges and not the

others, it means in evaluating the test to me, brianna and boris, there were some things the jury credited and others they did not get it appeared with a guilty finding on what is called reckless assault, what is that? there's a distinctive between intentional assault, which means it was your intent, your goal, your aim, your objective to assault, versus reckless . reckless is the conscious disregard. enemies the jury did not make a finding that was intentional, but it was sufficiently reckless, right? such that the jury made a finding after that. the jury also made a finding as to harassment, which is not a crime it is simply a violation, a violation of law meaning that it does not rise to the level of criminal offense. just in terms of clarifying, a misdemeanor event in new york state is an offense punishable by up to a year in jail, a violation punishable by up to 15 days, so that is what the judge will have two sentence

and evaluate, whether there is any time at all that's going to be opposed, but that would be certainly the parameters of any sentencing not there yet, but when we get there, he will be facing. >> elizabeth, it's not just the sentencing he is facing, but also a huge fall in grace and his reputation as a hollywood star. take a through his story, because he was rapidly becoming a household name. >> absolutely, and the fact that he was found guilty on some charges, no matter what, he is sentenced to are not as joey said, you are correct. there is going to be some sort of fall from grace. now, not everybody at home may know who jonathan majors is, but he was on his way to becoming an a-list star. had he not been on trial right now, he would likely be campaigning for an oscar.

earlier this year at the sundance film festival, he had a field debut called magazine dreams. it got rave reviews. he could have been on the oscar campaign for that. perhaps even more important, he was cast as basically the future star of marvel's next phase. he was cast as a character called kang, who is a villain . he had already made his debut in this character that had not yet debuted in his own film. marvel was anchoring two films around him and we know that these movies can each make up words of $1 billion, even $2 billion for one of the most recent avengers films. now, disney has a big decision to make. do they keep him? do they not? with two guilty charges, that's going to be very difficult, and i have to tell you prior to getting this verdict, i spoke to my sources, and people in the industry are saying no matter what the verdict was, this is hard for a company, particularly like disney which is family-friendly, to keep someone who has been accused and now found guilty of these charges. they're very good point, and i

think we have much more to hear ahead on this. elizabeth, joey, thank you to both of you on that. still do, defense secretary lloyd austin taking his concerns about this rising palestinian death toll in gaza directly to israeli officials in a return visit there. we are live from the region. shipping and oil companies are suspending travel to the red sea after increased attacks on commercial vessels here just this morning, the u.s. military, responding to another vessel coming under fire. the latest on the region, in just moments.

pressure is growing on agai fill-in death toll in gaza continues to climb. today, secretary of defense lloyd austin visited tel aviv,

where he met with minister benjamin netanyahu and top other israeli leaders. during a press conference, often reiterated support for israel and discussed way for israel to move toward a more targeted approach in gaza the white house, echoing a similar message today, saying israel may need to adjust its rules of engagement after its military shot and killed three israeli hostages after misidentifying them as threats. we have cnn's natosha bertram live at the pentagram with the latest of elements, but let's go to cnn' is will ripley live in tel aviv at the latest details on these hostages that were killed. will, what are you learning about the circumstances that led up to that instance? >> reporter: we know that these three men, these israeli men, were holed up in a home and that embattled neighborhood of gaza city. what is not clear is if they were being held at the time that they were shot by israeli forces or if they had already escaped, but what we're being told by the israel defense force is that essentially come as soldiers were approaching this area and is neighborhood, the three men walked out they

were apparently short list, waving a why cloth that turned out to be a bedsheet that had a very simple plea for help written in what is described as leftover food. it said in hebrew, three hostages, help. from a distance, the israeli soldiers apparently viewed these three shirtless men waiting a why cloth as such a threat that they opened fire. two of them were killed instantly. the third was wounded, ran back inside the house, then reemerged once again waving that why cloth asking for help, and he was shot and killed. of course, this raises questions about the combat operations on the ground. people who are shirtless waving a why cloth are killed and they turn out to be israeli hostages, have there been others? we know the death toll in gaza is now inching closer and closer to the horrific and staggering 20,000 mark, yet israel says they are trying to target hamas it's a very

complex situation. they have been uncovering this labyrinth of tunnels, hundreds of tunnels under the ground get one of them revealed to be 2 1/2 miles long, wide enough for a large vehicle like a truck or even a makeshift railroad, tunnels that israel says are being hidden underneath civilian homes, and even had a video they released, claiming to be a child's bedroom with one of the tunnel entrances actually underneath a bed that a child was sleeping on. of course, cnn cannot independently verify these videos from israel, but they are trying to make the case that they are fighting a war against a terrorist organization that would target the united states as well if they could. they are not fighting against gaza civilians. they say gaza pavilions are being used by hamas as human shields. >> will, please stand by. let's go to natasha in the pentagon, because part of secretary austen's visit had to do with an assessment of israel's campaign against hamas

to this point people was the secretary hoping to learn from this trip? >> reporter: a senior defense official told reporters previewing his trip to israel but essentially, the secretary wants to get a sense for how the operations are going in terms of whether their objectives are being achieved in gaza and whether this phase of their operations in gaza against hamas can soon come to an end, this very high intensity tempo faith which we have seen involves very high density of airstrikes, a lot of raids, a lot of ground forces, and can it be shifted to a lower intensity phase, perhaps by january, that would be more targeted and more precise and perhaps more intelligence driven going after more senior hamas leaders? that is something the secretary austin really wanted to get a sense from israeli minister as well as the israel board cabinet, and it is something he alluded to during the press conference more than once, suggesting the u.s. has good

ideas it she had with israel about how they can make that transition from the current phase to a more narrow, limited one. here's what he said. >> today, we had great discussions about the status of the campaign, about goals and objectives, and about how to reduce harm to civilians in the battle space, and to -- and the need to ensure a sustained flow of humanitarian assistance into gaza. we also have some great thoughts about how to transition from high intensity operations to lower intensity and more surgical operations. >> the u.s. has made clear to the israelis that the international community 's condemnation of the way they are carrying out their cooperation in gaza is really becoming unsustainable, given the sheer number of casualties and civilian deaths we have seen coming out of gaza since the military activities there began, so the u.s. has been

trying to drive home this idea that shifting to a more narrow operation could better achieve their goals and could also preserve their kind of moral high ground in this conflict, but it's unclear if the israelis are on the same page in the defense minister during the press conference said they will continue to conduct this operation at various phases of intensity, only moving to the next phase when they believe this one is complete . boris? >> natasha and will, thank not for those reports. now, to alarming development seen in the red sea. today, energy prices are spiking . maybe that is no surprise, because you oil giant bp that has joined this list of major company suspending shipments through the suez canal and they are concerned about escalating attacks on commercial ships by iranian backed rebels in yemen. >> this morning, the uss carney responded to another merchant vessel that came under fire in

the southern red sea. over the weekend, the pentagon said the destroyer shot down 14 drones, targeting commercial ships it what is a vitally important waterway for commerce. jim, what can you tell us about these latest rounds of attacks? >> reporter: we should look at this is another front in the war of gaza. these attacks picked up following israeli ground operations inside gaza. the rebels based in yemen, but backed by iran, basically an armed and dusty iranian sort of force projection in the region. it is a way for them to apply pressure. they support hamas, of course, hezbollah to the north of israel, and they support the houthi rebels, and the houthi rebels are exploiting their power in the fact that they are targeting shifting, and has enormous effects. it's basically closed on israel's southern port, which is just on the red sea, but it also threatens other shifting going through the red sea and on through the suez canal, which affect loads of containers, a lot of commerce going through europe and elsewhere , but also a lot of

oil. that is the one that really seems to be having an impact right now. you got u.s. ship they're shooting down most of the stuff but can't shoot down all of it, so the shifting companies made private decisions at the risk is too high for us , and that has enormous economic implications, so it's kind of a force multiplier for the houthi rebels as they carry out these attacks. >> it raises questions , how long does this go on so it keeps the u.s. very engaged in the region? there is a possibility of some kind of mis- navigation of the situation. >> yeah. >> it's really a big question. >> it stops when one side says the costs are too high, right? the costs are too high. at this point, they have not reached that point get the usa shooting down a lot of these, but often and the president appeared to want to have a more global or at least international response to what they are trying to build an allied response, but among those allies in the region, there is disagreement did you got uae who want a more aggressive military response, the saudis who want a more diplomatic response, but the u.s. does not want it to be

just the u.s. versus the houthis, which could be seen at the u.s. versus iran. from the beginning of this, the u.s. did not want to expand is complicated they certainly don't want to direct involvement in this conflict any more than he already has. trouble is the economic cost arising, so the urgency of the u.s. effort to internationalize this seems to be much greater. >> there are something like 20 u.s. warships in the region. it is not a huge deterrent at this point for the houthis. i'm wondering in your conversations with u.s. officials, have they described to you a redline of what perhaps when they decide to intervene? >> the big picture read is that iran does not want to direct conflict with the u.s. either. it is happy to keep up the pressure as it is, and the fact is we have not seen the war in israel, for instance, expenses of northern front it hezbollah

has not jumped in. there is no northern front in that war, and iran itself is not taking shots at u.s. ships, but loads of iranian proxies are firing at american forces in iraq and syria, and you also have an iranian proxy in houthi's firing at some get it is something the u.s. is interested in which is clear, through the red sea. so, neither side seems to have crossed their redline for a broader conflict, but the costs are so high right now, it's clear there is much greater urgency for this administration. >> something close to 100 attacks on u.s. and coalition forces. jim shooter, always good to see you. when we come back, one day after marking his 87th birthday, we are learning pope francis has signed up on a vatican n ruling statating that prieiests can ofoffer blesessin same-sexex couples. . this is s a major shift from recent vatatican doctrtrine. wewe'll have d details, ahahead

huge news for the catholic church. pope francis is now formally allowing priests to bless same- sex couples. this marks a radical change in vatican policy, shifting away from a 2021 ruling which barred any such blessings. >> a really from the vatican says people seeking god's love and mercy should not be subjected to, quote, an exhaustive moral analysis for the reaffirming francis' suggesting these blessings can be offered as long as they are done so informally and not confuse with the sacrament of marriage. let's discuss this now with cnn about the vatican correspondent christopher lamb.

this is huge, christopher. what does this policy change me? >> this is a very significant development because for the first time, the pope and the vatican have formally said that priests can offer blessings, informally, to same-sex couples could now, these can't take place in formal church services, and they must be done in a way that doesn't confuse the church's teaching on the sacrament of marriage being between a man and woman, but it is a shift from their previous documents that we have seen from the vatican, which said that the church cannot bless sin, and therefore, could not offer any kind of blessing, where is this document is offering a very different approach. i'll just read out quickly the key quotes. it says when people ask for a blessing, an exhaustive moral analysis should not be placed as a precondition for confirming it. the grace of god works in the lives of those who do not claim

to be righteous, but who acknowledged themselves humbly ask sinners like everyone else, so it is a big shift. brianna? >> so would you say that this is a change to the church's position on gay marriage? >> no, it is not a change on that . pope francis is being clear that he is not shifting church teaching there. i think what he is trying to do is, on the one hand, maintain what the church has always taught about marriage, but at the same time offer a welcome and to be more inclusive to same-sex couples, to lgbt catholics, many of whom who have felt excluded and marginalized by the church, and pope francis fan threes, throughout his pontificate, has tried to offer a more inclusive approach on this matter, and this, i think is in keeping with the long-running approach that the pope has had for the last 10 years of his pontificate .

>> very, very interesting, as we keep an eye on this and what comes next to christopher lamb, thank you for that report. still ahead, former president donald trump, ramping up his anti-immigration rhetoric just four weeks before the iowa caucuses. why his comments are drawing fresh comparisons to nazi germany.

former president donald trump has been stoking fears about immigration for years. it was one of the very first things he discussed when he announced he was running for president back in 2015 here

now, he is seizing on the recent surge in border crossings to score political buddies this points yet again, and this time he is blatantly invoking nazi propaganda. >> let's walk through the comments here because they are pretty stunning. we're at a recent rally, trump used the phrase, poisoning the blood in reference to immigrants crossing the border and said they are immigrants who are coming to mental institutions, causing crimes, really, i think he meant -- it is hard to meet what he meant, poisoning the blood of american people and culture. here is the thing. that is a phrase hitler used i n

mein kampf to say that non- aryans were being poisoned or the blood of non-aryans being poisoned by other races, and this is not -- this is not the first time trump has involved phrases used by the nazis before to drum up his base, to sort of argue against anything less than the most hard-core immigration policies. so, yet we haven't seen any movement, any real condemnation from his supporters or the republican party at large but you would expect from any other republican in the field today, which really shows the level of impunity president trump knows he enjoys within the party over anything he says. >> it is stunning stuff, really is, what we're hearing. >> definitely did we have cnn's elena with us as well, and west palm beach, florida. only four weeks after the iowa caucuses, what is behind this immigration push from trump? >> reporter: it's really interesting that donald trump, i mean, he really ramped up that anti-immigration rhetoric in a pair of rallies this weekend, first in new hampshire saturday and yesterday in reno. i was at that reno, nevada rally where he talked a lot about his potential second term immigration plants as well. he really laid out -- no him he

talked about violent crimes that undocumented immigrants here in the u.s. had committed, but he also vowed to vote unprecedented resources to the southern border, and when talking about this, he did preview what he would do if you were to win the election in 2024 when it comes to immigration . i can just tell you, boris and brianna, for my reporting here at cnn as well as our colleagues' and media outlets, we covered extensively with the potential immigration plants would be, and essentially, they include rounding up undocumented immigrants across the country and placing them in detention camps while they await to be deported, and an endeavor like that would require a massive amount of resources to be shifted to the southern border, to federal law enforcement. donald trump yesterday in nevada talked about pulling on resources from the dea and other federal agencies in order to stop the flow of migration at the southern border, so some really, you know, expansive

moves that donald trump wants to make in relation to his hard- line immigration policies. i also want to point out the timing of these remarks. obviously, nevada is a state, the third early voting states also donald trump is focused on that, but it is also state that has a large migrant population, so donald trump was really targeting some of that rhetoric to these voters. he also recognizes that right now, there's a lot of conversation about immigration, and it's not a topic that the biden administration has a great record on. they know it is a weakness for the democratic party, and that's why you are hearing him really play up what he would do, but of course, very, very stunning and remarkable language to come from a former president and also something that biden campaign was very quick to point out was parroting the language of eight up hitler, as daniel pointed out earlier. >> the thing that strikes me about that, daniel, that

speaking to republican allies a president trump, they say his words don't matter much. he is just upset about illegal immigration, but the fact is your legal status, a green card does not change the health of your blood . it is a dog whistle. >> and look, this also reminds me a little while ago, i wrote a story about the republican jewish coalition, their conference this year, i remember asking a lot of attendees about trump and his past comments in that vein that usually are considered extremely offensive to the jewish community, and they sort of shrugged it off and said, well, i like what he's done for israel. i like that he moved the u.s. embassy to jerusalem, and so they sort of shrugged it off. it is pretty amazing, and trump knows that, of his supporters, the ones that really enjoy rhetoric like that, they like to hear it again and again. >> it's unleashed so much anti- semitic rhetoric, which of course, you see the actions followed that. >> and in such a heated time in the world for anti-semitism. >> certainly. daniel strauss, alayna treene,

thank you so much. >> it is something that the majority of pregnant women suffer from, but not -- but now, pardon me. you know what this is about, pregnant ladies? now, scientists are saying they may have found the cause of yes, morning sickness.

scientists may have found the cause of morning sickness, a study by the journal nature suggests it may be linked to a hormone already in our bodies. >> gdf 15 is caused by stress in people who are not pregnant but high levels of the hormone

can trigger nausea. most people develop some form, some women have such severe morning sickness, they need to be hospitalized like amy schumer, princess kate, two famous examples. let's bring in maggie jarrell to talk about this. tell us about the study. >> it is really fascinating, the researchers say a lot more attention needs to be paid because it can be a serious medical condition. notch is something everyone deals with the ring pregnant see, what they honed in on is the home of -- hormone gdf 15. during times of non-pregnancy, it's in the body. they did find that higher levels during pregnancy is associated with higher levels of nausea and vomiting. another interesting finding is that people who have been exposed before pregnancy seem to develop sort of a tolerance to it so when they had higher levels, they did not actually feel quite as sick. there is

hope these understandings about this hormone may lead to better ways to trade or prevent -- treat morning sickness. >> so interesting, what does that mean for there being a treatment? can they expose people to work beforehand? to make things better for them, should they get pregnant? >> all of this needs to be studied to make sure it is safe, there are medicines that exist, one is called metformin. that medicine is already out there, the question is if somebody already had this kind of extreme morning sickness in a previous pregnancy, would they know that and try to prevent this by building up a tolerance going through pregnancy? that is one potential approach, that is a treatment during pregnancy where you block the effect. it would be a little bit of sometime before there could be

one of these ways forward. it is very exciting to find out some more of the scientific underpinnings. >> it is no longer a mystery other than it is terrible, which we knew. thank you for that, we will be right back.

you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business.

but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers? did we peak your interest? you can get two unlimited lines for just $30 each a month. there are no term contracts or line activation fees. and you can bring your own device. oh, and all on the most reliable 5g mobile network nationwide. wireless that works for you. it's not just possible, it's happening. breaking news, a federal appeals court has rejected mark meadows in his attempt to move his federal here and is to federal court. >> this is significant. >> it is, it was a big test, mark meadows said he was chief of staff under donald trump

that he wanted to move the case against him at least in fulton county, georgia to federal court. he lost at the trial level at appeals court led by the chief judge says no, what you did, you were not a federal officer. this case was the tip of the spear too. it was not just about meadows, it could have been picked up by trump and others. it is a losing battle so that case as of now staying in fulton county, georgia not going to federal court. >> interesting, there is also rudy giuliani news. >> we are four days after $150 million verdict to ruby freeman -- two georgia election workers say he must pay them. they are suing him again. they went to court just today, just four days later after he had a huge win to say to the judge we would like in order prohibiting him from continuing to lie about us.

because of things he was saying during the trial, then immediately after the verdict both outside the courthouse, to cameras there saying stay tuned, i have evidence i could have presented that he also went on steve bannon's podcast and continue to double down, they are back in court going to the judge, they want an order saying rudy giuliani cannot continue to spread lies about them. they said that it must stop. >> caitlin, quickley, he's broke right? all of these legal matters have led him to financial ruin. >> he says he's broke, but he does have access -- assets. there will be a hot pursuit in court to try to collect what they can as soon as they can. >> thank you so much for the reporting period >> the lead with jake tapper starts r right now. .
