1:00 am
to have to be thinking about that. it's not flew important advice there >> from dr. sanjay gupta. thank you. and to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. the news continues next on cnn >> tonight on 360, trump lawyers pressed one judge to delay the documents this case and another to disqualify the georgia da details tonight from a key de on a crowded legal calendar that could push one or both cases past election day. also time president biden says us forces will start air dropping food into gaza. the fears of widespread famine growing and desperation plane to c plus the latest on the winter storm that good dumped six to 12 feet of snow. that's feet, not inches on parts of california. >> good evening. thanks for joining us when the trump indictments began coming down and then piling up quickly became clear that one day soon we'd have days like this, 12 sets of attorneys in two different courtrooms arguing two of his cases, one in
1:01 am
atlanta, making final arguments for why judge gotten mcafee should disqualify fulton county da fani willis, who's overseeing his election, racketeering trial the other in fort pierce, florida, pressing a federal judge, aileen cannon, to delay his classified documents trial until after the election. a busy day for trump lawyers and for prosecutors. seen as paula reid starts us off in florida former president donald trump at federal court in florida. today for a high-stakes hearing to decide >> when he will be tried for allegedly mishandling classified documents an indictment was unsealed. >> charging donald j. trump with felony violations of our national security laws, as well as participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice >> trump faces 40 felony criminal charges related to the alleged mishandling of classified information. some seen here in properly stored at mar-a-lago. >> they raided my house. they did it for publicity reasons.
1:02 am
they did it for election interference reasons. they want to interfere with the election the case is currently scheduled for may 20, but judge aileen cannon, a trump appointee, who is overseeing the case, has signaled she >> may push the trial back in court today, cannon pressed prosecutors and defense attorneys about their suggested schedules. special counsel jack smith proposed a july 8 start date, but during the proceedings, cannon suggested that aspects of smith's proposal we're unrealistic. trump's lawyers insist the trial should be pushed back a trial that takes place before the election is a mistake and should not happen trump attorney todd blanche status it saying it would be unfair to the former president and the american people for trump to be in the courtroom and not on the campaign trail. that's something that former president has claimed as well. >> all of this persecution is only happening because i am running for president and leading very substantially in
1:03 am
the polls. >> trump's attorneys did concede if the trial has to go forward before the election, they would be okay with starting august 12. but prosecutors pushed back saying, if team trump believes the trial before the election is unfair those are fake dates. why did they even propose those dates? can and noted that trump's upcoming criminal case in new york must be considered as she schedules this one on march 25th, trump's hush money trial begins in new york and is expected to last four to six weeks. and already busy court schedule. former president trump prosecutors today did clarify a key issue how close to the election would they be willing to try trump? attorney general merrick garland has set a speedy trial, is in the public interest the cases were brought last year. prosecutor has urged speedy trials with which i agree. and this now on hand the traditional system,
1:04 am
not in our hands today in court though, prosecutors said that a justice department policy discouraging public investigative actions. 60 days before an election. does not apply to cases where charges had already been filed. prosecutor jay bratt told the court that when it comes to that policy, quote, we are for in full compliance. >> and paula reid joins us now from the courthouse is it clear if and when judge cannon will set a new trial date >> so it's not clear. when we're going to get her decision, anderson, but she's signaled today, but she does intend to move this case back, but you described in july date is being quote, unreasonable. so i would expect that she will move this on the calendar to august the earliest but i would also expect if she does that, the trump lawyers will likely come back between now and then and try to push it back even further. that is the game they have been playing, tried to push this back back until after the election even if you have to do it in little pieces. >> all reid stay with us, want
1:05 am
to bring in retired federal judge, nancy gertner, currently a senior law lecturer at harvard, also federal prosecutor and bestselling supreme court biographer jeffrey toobin i mean, it's judge cannon. >> is >> fully in the trump camp. >> i mean, you know, she's been criticized even by the conservative 11th circuit court for bending over backwards too much for trump. but she's dealing now with a profound question and i don't think it is a simple question, which is is donald trump, a defendant like any other defendant who has a schedule based on the convenience of the court. and, you know, all full speed ahead or is the court's supposed to take into consideration this man is running for president. she is indicated she would not take into consideration his campaign schedule. he wouldn't take him his campaign schedule, but that doesn't really answer the question of when you get into the fall, is it appropriate to have one of the two major candidates for president sitting in a courtroom in september, in
1:06 am
october, anyone who pretends that's an easy question, i think is blowing smoke. i think it's actually a difficult question. >> jim carter, the former president's attorneys, arguing that the case shouldn't move forward because before the election, they've also floated in august 12th, start date why do you think they floated that august 12th start date? >> they want to make sure that the florida case jumps ahead of the line of the january 6 case. if the january 6 cases ever restarted because they are there for much more comfortable in florida where the jury pool is much more favorable to the former president. then in dc so i mean, i agree with jeff about the what'll it feel like in september, but i mean, one of the things that is the case here as that this was the play in other words, trump's lawyers have delayed everything, everything that should have been a routine motion turned into a big brouhaha. and unfortunately,
1:07 am
the judge has enabled it to be a brouhaha. so we're in the situation now. really because of choices that trump's lawyers made and choices that she really they ratified. so that's the problem. and the one judge who has been pushing this case is judge chutkan and washington, but she's now shut down because the supreme court has put everything on hold. and judge cannon has been proceeding at a leisurely pace at best and yes, they were talking about august, but you can be sure, as paula said earlier, that the trump people will continue pushing that date back as much as polar right now. >> i mean, the only one >> of the former president's criminal cases with a trial date is the new york hush money case, which did da on that case is now trying to make it a election interference case. what are the odds that the rest all end up delayed until after the election? i mean, that seems increasingly likely it does seem increasingly likely. let's go through the three other outstanding criminal cases. first, let's deal with
1:08 am
georgia, these efforts to disqualify fani willis in that case have likely pushed this back until after november. she had initially said she wanted to start that trial in august expected to last over four months so at this point, it's safe to say that case is unlikely to be resolved before the presidential election. as i said before, the classified documents case, i do expect the judge will push it back and we'll certainly be asked to push it back again, whether she does that. there are some legitimate questions. there are some legitimate issues here in terms of the breadth and depth of discovery. the issues does it play that would give her the opportunity to also push this back until after november. so the big question is, what happens with that january 6 case that is now of course, in the hands of the support cream court, not only for what they decide on the merits, live even sources and the trump camp say they don't expect to win on the merits, but also for how long it takes them to decide. we widely expect we won't get it decision there until late june and then use their space on the calendar judge, tanya chutkan has been bullish about bringing that case to trial. the justice department today open the possibility of that they would
1:09 am
be willing to try him even in september or october when judge chutkan be open to that or this let's go back to the supreme court. >> judge gertner, i mean, there are legitimate questions about the classified material at the heart of this case. that is a complicating factor in the florida case. >> it is a complicating factor, but one of the things that is clear usually a new judge facing a classified documents case usually seeds to the prosecution. i don't think that that's necessarily a good thing, but, uh, but that's what happens, will usually defer to the prosecution's view of what should be classified after all what judges schooled and national security issues. the irony of this case is that this is a judge who's doing just the opposite, whose tilting to the defense rather than tilting to the prosecution. they were complicated issues. but this is in one sense the easiest of all the cases. so these are case, these these are issues that could have been resolved, but she's really inviting briefing
1:10 am
and hearings on things that frankly, i don't think any other judge would have done. >> there's a law called the classified information procedures act, sipa, which dictates how classified information can be used in criminal trials. there have to be pretrial proceedings if judge cannon wanted to move this case along, she could have gotten going on the secret proceedings already. she hasn't. and there are lots of motion stacking up that will give the defense, but delay one of the prosecutors and the special counsel's office to argue that this doj policy, which is discourages of investigation 60 before an election doesn't apply by here. well, technically it doesn't apply because it applies to investigative steps indictments, search warrants. it doesn't speak of trials because judges decide on the scheduling of trials. but the spirit of that policy is on is at issue, and the judges are going to have to struggle with that if proven. >> thank you. paula reid, nancy gertner, as well we have an the georgia case and closing arguments, not in the trial itself, but remarkable court

1:16 am
system and then didn't tell anybody about it. >> willis testified last month insisting the relationship began after wade was appointed to lead the trump case and argued she paid him back for any expenses in cash when i started dating mr. wade, april 2020 2022, around i don't know, growing up, my daddy had three safes are now though my father's bought me a lockbox and i always keep cash in the house. when you've on a date, should have cash in your pocket judge scott mcafee did have some tough questions for the attorneys pushing to remove willis and her team. >> if someone buys their boss a stick of gum, is that per say, disqualify? >> it may not meet had materiality requirement, but it's a personal benefits to the judge. >> also asked if disqualification would really be the right remedy or if any wrongdoing would just require hi a reprimand from the legal bar. >> the proposition you're putting forward now is that if a representative, the state lead prosecutor, the district attorney, themselves so
1:17 am
something that's untruthful on the record, that is something that immediately as to be proactively policed by the trial court. basically, what i'm getting at is wearing the law that we find the remedy to an untruthful statement generally we send you down the street to, the bar. >> lawyers for the district attorney's office insists there is absolutely no conflict of interest. >> it's absurd. we have absolutely no evidence that ms willis received any financial gain or benefit. the testimony was that ms willis paid all of the money back in cash. >> you can judge mcafee says he will make a decision about disqualification within two weeks jessica schneider, cnn, washington perspective now from cnn legal analyst joey jackson and atlanta former georgia state senator jen jordan so joe, i mean, in these closing arguments, just kind of a shift from trying to prove a conflict of interest to a perceived conflict >> yeah, it wasn't only that, but i was surprised at the way the bar really was extended by the defense. it was about well, is it an actual column? affleck
1:18 am
to your point? is it a perceived conflict? is it about her church speech as they mentioned, and the extra judicial statements and what impact that had. is it about the fact that she hired her boyfriend? is it that she benefited? that is her boyfriend benefit did cheap asking a wide net. it was a very wide net and i think they would doing that right to point to perception, point to fraud, point to an undermining and distrust of the system. i think edison going back to really what the inquiries of the judge war, who i think has conducted himself tremendously throughout this process, is what really is the remedy. so let's just say, for example, that you do establish that the prosecutor misrepresented the nature of the relationship, the timeframe some other relationship and mr. wade the two special prosecutor and prosecutor, let's just say, for example, there was some financial i mean, i don't know. it seems to me when someone earns money, it's their money they could do what they want, but be that as it may just say, for example, they that all of that to me, the integrity of the process is about the underlying indictment. was it presented to a grand jury properly when presented? was the what are the
1:19 am
facts that were presented to the grand jury? can they be legally sustained? does it make out a case and a claim against the now 14 defendants plus the president, former president of the united states. and so in essence, what you're left with is, is this appropriate? i mean, it's been very entertaining in terms of reality tv, but does it really? fleck the core issues that were grappling with and whether an indictment should be dismissed, predicated upon some conduct that they were engaged, some dalliance that was engaged in jen, i want to play something else from trump's lawyer today. let's listen you asked her, you know, what's personal interests. i think frankly as i was trying to figure this out, i think you know what, when you see it, i think you know what when you see it. i think there's enough facts in front of you that, you know what, when you see it so i think that the governing principle helps enlighten some of the facts here >> jim, do you think that was a convincing argument that the note when you see that kind of line of reasoning no i think
1:20 am
that shows you that they knew that they don't have enough that they haven't actually been able to >> present the case that but they said that they were going to be able to put up for the judge when they made their initial proffer and to go back what joe was saying, they were talking about is it this is it that really trying to do this broad brush, trying to make it look like that, that everything that the district attorney's office touch somehow was tainted in some way. but the reality is by doing that and kind of just, you know, just throwing it all together. it really shows that they can't point to specific evidence but that's with respect to the disqualification. and they really can't meet the legal bar and at the end of the day, that's what the judge is worried about, right? that's what the judge's concerned about. and they just have not been able to bring the evidence that was promised initially by ashleigh merchant enjoy you hear the judge saying that
1:21 am
suggesting that the georgia bar might be the more appropriate >> venue for any questions about fani willis is behavior >> i mean, i don't think that's an unreasonable suggestion by the judge. the reality is is that we have a case here involving these 14, 15 defendants. again, including the president, three lorries already being pled guilty and someone else. >> did they do what was >> alleged? did does that indictment stan to the scrutiny remember this a process? the process before you actually can be indicted, there are people who hear this. is there probable cause to believe a crime was committed in that you committed it? that's an essential core of our system. then you have a trial where there's 12 people that sit in judgment to determine did you do it beyond a reasonable doubt? is that impaired in any way by all of this salacious activity? and if it's not, then perhaps if you made mis-rep misrepresentations, if you had an undo our relationship that you shouldn't if you reported less than $100 or whatever that you're supposed to in a
1:22 am
financial form, maybe that's the bar association and creon not an inquiry for him. >> and the judge suggested earlier that he could decide the case as soon as today after today's hearing. is that a rule within two weeks. do you read anything into that? >> no, i think he's just being incredibly careful. look, he was trying to make sure even when you would listen to him today in terms of his questions one of the attorneys would make a statement about some piece of evidence and he would back up and said, well, wait a second, i don't think that was actually admitted and so i think for his purpose this is he wants to be very, very careful that in terms of what order that he issues, that he is only talking about evidence that was admitted, that he's not just listening to argument or whatever people are kinda pushing over the line in terms of innuendo in innuendo or gossip >> he's being incredibly careful and he's doing exactly what he needs to do to make sure that whichever way he goes on this is that his order
1:23 am
actually will be defensible because of the end of the day. he is there to make a decision with respect to the integrity of the judicial system in the court. and i think he's he's going to make i think he's going to make the right decision and right now, looking at the evidence that's come in, i don't think that there is any evidence that actually would justify the disqualification at the da's office now, injured and thanks very much, joe jackson as well, coming up. really remarkable sight, thousands lining streets in moscow to pay their last respects to alexey navalny, the russian dissident. one mourner compared to nelson mandela or martin luther king junior. our matthew chance was there. he joins us next from from russia and russian pro-democracy leader garry kasparov joins us in his first television interview since navalny's death >> an important message for americans age 50 to 85 my gosh you're still using mom's old coffee pot. it's my inheritance. >> well, it is a family

1:28 am
>> definitely. no doubt. no doubt kremlin denies it. they say that they said eve of the arrows, see they agree with what they have done bad >> i would >> be the first lord >> all right. well, this is the hearse, the van, which is taking the body of alexey navalny into this church on the outskirts so moscow, where russia will finally bid farewell to one of his most prominent opposition figures. you can see thousands of people from all over the region of turned 82 page hey, their respects, cracking as his body enters for that funeral service are you surprised that you'll forces of a loud disputes to go ahead? >> i don't know what say about in regards i think it would be a huge mistake to not allowed to do it because there's so many we'll be able and they
1:29 am
came here to pay pay the last respect to aleksey and lxc for us and for me personally, was like i don't know russian nelson mandela or the russian martin luther king. >> so why people need may have silence, navalny but his name is now on everyone's lips inside the church, the funeral service was shot was no political speeches, just blessings over his open casket later at the cemetery navalny's distraught parents kiss their 47 year-old son. goodbye his wife and children concerned for their own safety stayed away but so many came in their place outside crowds of
1:30 am
mourners waited patiently for our last glimpse. the cemetary gait still open for russian police on close guard here to finally wave them through, right? well, this is the site inside the cemetery and the memorial to alexey navalny. people are coming here to lay their flowers and as you can see, and also to file past the hour actual gravesite, which is their people are picking up soil and throwing it into the ground onto the casket. as a final farewell to that opposition figure a figure who in death, as in life, is drawer it. magazines of russians critical of the kremlin onto the streets matthew chance joins us from moscow. it's so moving. matthew alexey navalny's daughter, dasha, posted this picture on instagram of her dad, where she called them her role model, her hero and said, i promise you that i will live my life the way you taught me to make you proud. what else did his family
1:31 am
have to say today? and the people you talked to was they're concerned about speaking to you concerned that they could be detained for being there for this for his funeral >> well, i'm alexey navalny's wife, yulia navalnaya made a very poignant statement which he posted on social media as the as the funeral took place, basically thanking navalny for 26 years is of absolute happiness. i don't know how to live without you. she said, but i'll try to do so so that you up there can be happy and proud of me. and of course, yulia navalnaya has essentially taken on the mantle of her husband and has vowed to continue his opposition work has already made some very important speeches to do. that's one of the reasons why she hasn't going back to russia because there are fears for her safety in terms of the safety of people at the funeral? yeah. i mean, there were real concerns in russia, hundreds of people have been arrested over the past couple of weeks just for laying flowers at makeshift
1:32 am
memorials. but this was a moment where people felt that despite their fears, they had to come out at least on this occasion. and be brave and say goodbye to somebody who for many russians was it was a key figure, an important figure, a figure of hope and the janice, thank you so much joining me now as russian pro-democracy leader garry kasparov, author of winter is coming hello, vladimir putin in the enemies of the free world must be stopped seeing those images today. what went through your mind >> i don't know what was stored it's probably i can say that these people in the streets, moscow in few hours, they showed more courage than western politicians on both sides, atlantic for two years. alexey good, could be probably a lot if if here in washington and brussels in berlin, other capitals, there was a political will to stop putin as soon as there was a chance, ukrainians already a year ago. but the delay was military aid with was
1:33 am
financial package protracted the war and you could see putin this happen. and the fact is that less is dead. it's >> a message from putin because he failed to kill him in secret. and swiftly, we know this is the poison attempt that failed, but alex barely made it. so he was saved by miracle and then taken to germany when they just recovered. and now puts him kill him slowly and in front of the whole world and one thing went over. sure. we don't know all the details of this murder. and of course it was a murder. >> but we know >> that putin wanted the world to know about it because they could have kept this news for themselves, for few days for week they immediately inform the world and it happened on the first day of munich security conference. so that's that cannot be interpreted any any other way. but i did it i want you to know that because nothing will happen to me and of course, unfortunately, those
1:34 am
right again, president biden, three years ago promised devastating consequence for russia. if navalny would die in prison >> what's happened? >> they announced new sanctions. who cares? >> do you think the sanctions have had any impact on russia >> they have some impact clearly, you cannot say that sanctions are not working at at all, but fundamentally, they just, you know, they they are not damaging the war machine oil. it's a gas, it's, it's these two main items of russian budget. they are not sanctions due to damage putin, financial flow this oil through being traded, and you look at, look at the provinces that russia is making more money from selling oil and gas than, than that and before, later in the program where we have a piece from nick paton walsh on the frontlines in ukraine where in a position where ukraine artillery in the counter offensive were firing. i think it was at shells a day. now, there can only fire about ten because they just don't have the ammo because
1:35 am
republicans in congress passed me here. oh, all time. and again oh, the gdp of the nato countries versus russia, iran, north korea, this, this, this coalition or from axis of evil is 25 to one who cares if russia again can, can fire 67 times more shells. notice that ukrainian, north korea provided more shells to russia, that the entire europe you tell telling me, that's the polish zeros, ukrainians, a bleeding defending their country, freedom, nader. and also they trying to stop this, this, this money and the free world is still contemplating how we can deal with that and putin look at him a couple of days ago, he delivered his speech and he was happy and always talks about, oh, let's wait for russian people to rise navalny tried. he tried to show that something could be done in russia. it was i'm not sure was politically smart move, but you cannot
1:36 am

1:41 am
mj lee at the white house. so what more do you know about this us plan for aid drops? >> well, anderson, the president, offered a very dire assessment of the humanitarian crisis in gaza, saying that the amount of aid that is going in is simply not enough. it's just a drop in the bucket in terms of what the people there need and the president said that israel is not doing enough that it needs to do a lot more to open up these humanitarian corridors and provide a lot what more aid into the strip. and he said in the meantime, the us is going to begin air dropping food and aid and other basic necessities into the strip. and that the us is also considering opening up a maritime corridor as well. now, these airdrops we were told could begin in a matter of days and the white house has made clear the just sticks right now figuring out exactly how that would be executed is incredibly challenging. now, of course, the white house's view as well right now, is that a temporary ceasefire would be incredibly helpful in terms of surging the amount of humanitarian aid that can get into gaza. but as you
1:42 am
know, anderson for weeks and weeks, us officials have been intimately involved in trying to mediate the ongoing negotiations between israel and hamas to get to this temporary ceasefire that has been incredibly challenging and very touching. go. and in fact, president biden told me a little bit about where these talks currently stand before he left the white house. a few minutes ago, this is what he said do you think there will be a ceasefire deal by ramadan >> i'm hoping so we're still working real hard at are not there yet. >> what is, what is the biggest holdup right now? >> i'm not going to start with that because that again involved when my go >> now, the reason we are talking about ramadan as a potential deadline is because that is when anderson, israel has said that it would expand its military operations into rafah in southern gaza. this is a scenario that of course us officials are very much wanting to avoid boyd. and what would happen with the deal is the beginning of a six-week pause in the fighting for starters, but us officials have made very
1:43 am
clear that that is something that they would like to build on. they would first begin with a six-week pause in the fighting and then just build that out and potentially add more weeks to the pause in the fighting and the eye towards sort of ending the war. ultimately, that of course, is the end goal for us officials here. >> mj lee. thank you. coming up next ukraine and were seen as nick paton walsh saw on the front lines where ammunition is low one soldier has a message for one >> know, even tree cover means safety the following to defend the tiny gains of ukraine's counter offensive. but now they are outgunned by russian troops trying to surge forward you can hear how many shells they fire back no usaid means ukrainians risk losing right here. right now now what i'm saying, this

1:48 am
running out of shells to fire. that's on the situation that is sort of indefinitely sustainable. they are fighting an affine, less and less ammunition at hand to hold the russians back the russians on their half appear to have quite the opposite problem where they see, as you saw there, to have relentless resources to throw it, assaults that village of robatina. well, after we were there watching the artillery unit that night, another intense assault for russia even claimed as ministry of defense, it has taken key buildings in that village, were assured that simply one of the multiple nights they try and get in and they get pushed back. but across the front line and we're seeing russia willing to throw huge amounts of troops and ammunition comparatively small targets. but the cumulative effect of that is a feeling in multiple locations that ukraine isn't really able to stabilize the front line in a way that necessarily we would like. they may get a chance at that in the weeks ahead. but moscow to may also keep some sense of
