12:03 am
speaking on the phone for the first time in more than a month? amid their deepening rift over the war in gaza. and a new explosion of deadly violence in the capital of haiti, where machete-wielding militias and gangs are battling for power. cnn is the first major news network on the scene since the uprising welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world, i will blitzer a urine. the situation room first tonight why donald trump's lawyers say he can't make good on a $464,000,000 bond order in the new york civil fraud ruling and it's raising new questions about trump's cash crunch from multiple legal cases and how it could impact his wealth cnn's senior justice correspondent evan perez, is joining us now with the latest evidence. what was the trump team's explanation for why they can't come up with this money
12:04 am
>> well, wolf, that the former president is up against a deadline next week to produce a bond to satisfy this judgment. and according to the filing that they've made in federal court and sorry in state court today, they said that they've been rejected by 30 different underwriters who said that they cannot satisfy that kind of, that kind of bond and so as a result of this, they're asking the court they have asking the judge to give him more time to extend the former president more time in order to come up up with this kind of money, $40,064 million is what that overall judgment is, and it is going up every day. as a result of interests will the state attorney general letitia james is asking the court to not give trump anymore time. they say they're ready. as you pointed out, wolf, to start seizing some of his assets to satisfy that judgment. now, according to the court filing today the bond underwriters have said that they cannot write a bond
12:05 am
for that size of money and 11 of the an insurance underwriter who provided an affidavit for the trump team in this court filing, calling this a practical impossibility. so the cash crunch for the former president is absolutely coming to a head in the next week. >> interesting and ever now there's also news in the georgia election subversion case after friday's major ruling, keeping the district attorney, fani willis on the case. what's the latest there? >> right. wealth while the former president's lawyer see, say dow is asking for permission from judge mcafee in that case for permission in order to file an appeal. now, the judge in making that ruling last week, opened the possibility that this decision to keep final willis on the case to not disqualify 4-5 her from the case. that open that possibility for an appeal. and so that's what the legal team for the defense's the defense teams is now asking they're
12:06 am
asking for permission from the judge in order to file that appeal immediately with the georgia court of appeals. of course. we know the fani willis is fighting that wolff and says that she should be allowed to remain on the case. >> evan perez. thank you very much. i want to bring and see you in an anchor, kaitlan collins right now, caitlin, how much does trump struggled to come up with this bond? speak to the massive, massive cash crunch. he's now facing >> i mean wolf, unless that appeals cord, this appeals court comes to save him, he could be in a real financial crisis and just the coming days alone. and i think what evan said there in his first part of his report is important that there are other options that trump has here, and that's what his team is exploring, whether that's going to a higher court or what this is going to look like. but they're also dealing with the reality here that they are having difficulty finding this that comes from course after many of his attorneys were offering public assurances that it was not going to be any kind of an issue for them and it kinda just speaks to the moment he's in right now. overall, he just had to post
12:07 am
about a $90 million bond in the e jean carroll case. of course, the where he was found liable for defaming her the money that he owes there. he's trying to sum in this money these coming up with and also he's got several trials ahead of him that he has got a huge legal team, that he is also still paying for the pack that he's been using that is on track to have a lot of difficulty with its money by this summer wolf and so there is a very real financial issue that is happening for the former president when it comes to these cases, whether it's about his business this e jean carroll or the criminal trials that he is facing that could start potentially as soon as next month in april after the new york case got delayed here, wolf and i think one thing that stands out about what his attorneys are saying today about the difficulty in coming up with a $450,000,000 bond in this business fraud case. is that this entire case is about i'll trump arguing and defending himself against these accusations about over inflating his wealth and basically saying that his properties were bigger than they actually were, that they
12:08 am
were worth more than they actually were. and of course we know the judge found him liable for that here wolf, but now his own attorneys are coming forward and saying that they do not have the money to cover this, and i just think it speaks so the irony of this entire situation should know how is the trump team now caitlin scrambling to raise more cash they need they need that money. >> they need that money. also on the political side for his campaign, they are well behind president biden's campaign, which is obviously the power of the incumbency that president biden has. he didn't have to go up against any real threats when it comes to challengers for the democratic nomination, like trump did for the republican nomination. and when you just look at the differences in how much cash they have on hand, i believe biden the democrats have about $155 million on hand. we have not gotten the latest totals from the trump campaign, but certainly there are nowhere near that because we know the republican national what committee is struggling with its finances as well. and so i think that speaks to what you're seeing happening at mar-a-lago. it's basically billionaire week where the former president and his political team are welcoming in
12:09 am
all of these wealthy donors, hoping that they will be prepared to cut checks to his campaign because they feel confident in the long run that they are going to be able to have that money. they say they've been outraised before, but overall, this big picture does speak to the fact that his campaign is having trouble raising money. he's behind president biden and trying to catch up and also obviously on the legal front, having a lot of issues there as well. >> yep. a lot of cash problems, indeed, kaitlan collins. thank you very much, caitlin. of course, we'll be back later tonight, 09:00 p.m. eastern to anchor her excellent program. the source we'll be watching. let's get some more right now with our legal and law enforcement experts who are watching all of this sun-filled andrew mccabe, let me start with you. what do you make of the trump team's filing? is it a practical impossibilities they claim for trump to come up with this massive sum of money. i thought it was a multibillionaire >> well, it may very well be a practical impossibility if it is, it's because the companies that trump has interacted with
12:10 am
in an effort to secure the bond have quite rightly and conservatively said they're not willing to post that bond on his behalf in return for using properties as security. they want actual cash or stocks, things that can be liquidated easily to post that bond. and he doesn't have enough cash on hand or stocks liquid assets on hand, to get a bond of that size, i don't think we can really question the logic of that. this is someone who is in this unenviable position because he has been found guilty of over inflating the values of his properties. so it makes sense that insurance companies would not accept those properties and his valuation of them as security on a bond of this size. so it may be possible for him to obtain the bond, but it is not impossible to proceed forward according to the law in this case, as all or allows the state attorney general to start
12:11 am
pursuing the seizure of some of those properties to secure this judgment. so lot to be determined in the future here, but there is it's a path forward, it's just not the one that trump wants or you certainly doesn't want any of this. >> karen >> friedman back default those with us as well. karen does trump have any options left or are is assets at risk of being seized beginning as early as next monday, march 25th i think he has plenty of options. i mean, he has made it very clear and testified as such that, for example, mar-a-lago is worth over $1 billion and he goes on and on about how judge and gorani said it was 18 million, even though that's not really exactly the way it played out at the trial. and so he should have no problem refinancing that or any of his other properties to quickly both liquidate some money that he can use to post this bond or to safeguard against it being seized by the attorney general.
12:12 am
he has multiple properties that he can do that width and he also looks see what the appellate courts do now that he has essentially admitted that he does not have the money that he says he does, or the assets that he says he does and it'll be interesting to see >> i'm not surprised, >> for example, that chubb did not bond this, not just because of the size of it, but also after they posted the eeg in carroll bond for him, he went out and he defamed her again. he repeated the same the same statements that he did before. he actually puts these at risk, these bonds. so i think it's going to be very interesting to see if anyone's willing to take the risk for the reasons andrew said that he's been lying about the value of his properties and that's what the judgment is about. it's about devaluing them, but also that he would go out and re continue to do it after the fact, i think that's also something that the bond companies and insurance companies are looking at.
12:13 am
>> yeah, good point. oncourse khardori is with us as well on kush letitia james previously said about a month or so ago that she was ready to seize trump's assets if needed. listen to this, listen, terror >> we are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to new yorkers and yes, i look at 40 wall street each and every day if he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, and then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms and court and we will ask the judge to seize his assets sonko's do you expect that could actually happen come monday? >> i mean, look, it's conceivable. it could happen given the timeline we're talking about. but i completely agree with karen here. i mean, there are multiple avenues that he has not just in the court system, but in the business community to try to manage this it's not a practical impossibility per samara, i know that's the that's the language that's used in the brief. it's only a practical and possibility because he refuses to sell anything.
12:14 am
>> right? that is the reason why he can't generate this cash. and it's stated explicitly in the brief, he says it would be a fire sale. he'd suffered irreparable harm. there's no legal reason i can discern from the brief by the court has to care about any of that. now, the key thing here though, that folks should remember, is this call proceeds forward. it would not actually be in letitia james as best interest to have to go through a very complicated, cumbersome enforcement process so this is one of those areas where actually the litigants who have been at loggerheads for quite some time now the may actually have it in their mutual interests to try to come up with some sort of arrangement so he can have his appeal. but the ag's office can also have it's a certainty that they'll get paid out if that appeal is resolved in their favor at the end of the day. but a messy enforcement process with seizing 40 wall street's selling it in some capacity by the attorney general's office. that would be its own type of mess. >> yeah, it certainly would be andrew. what would it look like to actually go ahead and give us some more on this to seize trump's assets. what properties would be on the line? do you think? >> well, i can tell you
12:15 am
augustus is absolutely right. the seizure of physical property brings with an entire course of headaches that law enforcement really doesn't isn't inclined are in well-positioned to deal with and nothing is more headache written than than real estate because there are there's upkeep, there's maintenance, there's all kinds of costs that go along with maintaining that real estate until you can liquidate it. trump's got numerous properties all over all over new york that would be subject to that sort of authority. and it would essentially mean seizing those properties, maintaining them, and putting them up to some sort of auction or sale for the public good. not a process that happens quickly it takes an enormous amount of money and time and effort by the law enforcement entities involved. it's probably not one that letitia james, it sounds great in a soundbite, but it's probably not one that she looks forward to actually going through i think the deal that ankush mentioned is something they should be looking forward
12:16 am
to. >> well, let's see if that happens. our guys. thank you very, very much. or there's more breaking news coming into the situation room from the united states supreme court. the justices have denied a request by former trump adviser peter navarro to avoid prison while you appeals is contempt of congress conviction navarro is scheduled to begin serving a four month prison sentence at the federal facility in miami tomorrow. he was convicted in september of two counts of contempt of congress for defying a subpoena from the january 6 house select committee and just ahead, cnn is on the scene in haiti as the caribbean nation's capital city explodes into violence, are live report from port-au-prince is coming up, plus donald trump is defending is inflammatory rhetoric. what he's now claiming he meant when he warned of a bloodbath, if he's not re-elected united states of scandal with jake tapper.

12:21 am
port-au-prince. since the uprising are david culver is joining us now, live from the scene. david, i know it's very dangerous where you are. what are you seeing first of all, other grounded hey, there wolff. >> there have been clashes between police and gangs that are playing out all day and even into this late hour as the sun is coming down here in port-au-prince and it started early in the morning if 05:00 a.m. attack on to more affluent neighborhoods gangs making way too, from home to home, going through breaking in even at one point according to one source course opening fire inside at home. and it just shows you how ruthless they have become in this constant battle between community citizens here and these gangs that are trying to tighten their grip. now, it's also a struggle and strain on the police resources and we spent some time over the weekend with one local police commander and he was showing us just what they're trying to deal with. and that is low resources. he says the gangs have more money and more ammo
12:22 am
than they do at times, they have little to no fuel, so they can't drive their squad cars. and they are also dealing with just broken morale. so imagine all of that in an incident like today with a gang attack. and it explains why it is such a struggle for police to try to keep up. and that reason that is the reason know what that you've got the community that's building barricades and creating their own self-defense brigades to try to push back some of his gang activity what sort of impact that david is the violence having on the people of haiti >> we've got to see that firsthand over the past couple of days and you have a city where you have folks who are refugees in their hometown and they have moved from camp to camp over the past several months. and the past two weeks in particular, have been increasingly challenging for them. and we went to one location that was a school that is no longer operating because of the violence they had to shut it down, but it's been occupied by refugees essentially within 1,500 people cramming into a building
12:23 am
that's got maybe a dozen classrooms and they find anywhere they can to set up their little home and bring any belongings that they've been able to gather with them. and for them, it's also a struggle because they're not only facing the clashes with gangs wolf, they're also having to deal with the local community that it feels as though they're bringing unwanted attention to that neighborhood. and they themselves want to push these folks out because they feel the gangs will just be attracted to attack even further within that territory. and so it is an incredible struggle that's worsened given this phi lines have been cut off and folks are dealing with little to no food. running water is at this point a luxury that they can't seem to track down. and so it's left them in a dire situation >> so heartbreaking to see it, i was there in port-au-prince several years ago and it was quiet, it was nice to folks were so friendly how did it get to this point, david? and what happens next
12:24 am
>> well, you mean you could go back several decades, but i think this most recent surge, folks point to the assassination of the former president jovenel melies, who died in 2021 and and was killed here. and that then left the prime minister ariel henry in charge. he was essentially appointed to that position and was supposed to hand over power essentially to what would have been another elected leader in february of this year, february 7 to particular, didn't happen because as the prime minister argued, stability wasn't in place here. so as to have those elections so what happened? well, you had folks who were part of the community wanting on rita go feeling as though their situation was getting worse under him and you had the gangs gaining popularity and traction because they too wanted henry to go. now, they both wanted the same thing, but by no means where they united force the folks in the community really wanted on route to go because they felt like the gangs, wolf, we're gaining more and more traction
12:25 am

12:30 am
convention. now it's not clear exactly what he would do. one source telling me that it could be related to fundraising, but multiple sources adamant that nothing had been decided yet. they also tried to step away from the idea that he'd be part of the official campaign, mostly just highlighting that he would be part of the reelection effort. now, again, just to note who paul metaphor does, he was one of a number of people who served as head of donald trump's a 2016 campaign, albeit briefly before being charged with financial crimes later. and then as you noted, being pardoned by the former president. and i am told that this is all being done at mostly the request of the former president who has said time and time again, he wants to bring manafort back in that he really likes man afford. is there a role? full for paul manafort source, it's telling me there's nothing concrete yet, but it is something that's in discussions and discussions with him and it's likely to take place. >> yeah, it's interesting, kristen, despite being the presumptive republican nominee right now, trump does not appear to be changing strategy.
12:31 am
what can you tell us about this? >> yeah we heard from in a rally in ohio over the weekend where he really played to his bass, playing up his comments about immigration, praising those who were charged with their behaviors on january 6. and we are told that this is likely to remain the same. the donald trump is who he is and that it's not likely that he's going to shift his narrative completely. a lot of this what he thinks that he will win on. take a listen to what he said in ohio. >> if i had prisons that were teeming with ms 13 and all sorts of people that they've got to take care of for the next 50 years, right? young people that are in jail for years. if you call them people, i don't know if you call them people in some cases than not people in my opinion, these are bad. these are animals. we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. and you're not to be able to sell those guys. if i get elected now if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole that's gonna be the least of
12:32 am
it. it's going to be a bloodbath for the country that'll be the least of it. but they're not going to sell those cars. you see the spirit from the hostages and that's what they are as hostages. they'd been treated terribly, unbelievable patriots and they were unbelieving vocal patriots& are now we were told by senior advisers that in a general election you're likely to see trump, quote, unquote, tailoring his message, meaning based on where exactly he is, he might play up specific issues, but again, not downplaying any of his rhetoric, but it is going to become more complicated for his campaign because for such a long time, donald trump was really existing in a vacuum. every speech that he was giving, he was giving just a conservative media he was on truth, social instead of twitter. a lot of his message was not amplified, but now he is the presumptive republican nominee. so tailoring those comments and having his campaign after deuce clean up after at least some of those comments is going to be a little bit more difficult. wolf kristen holmes reporting for us. thank you very much for joining us now, the former trump national security adviser turned vocal trump critic john
12:33 am
bolton. he also served as the united states ambassador to the united nations ambassador. thank you so much for joining us. and as you know, paul manafort is a convicted fraudster and tax cheat with ties it actually adds some ties to russia elegant services. so why would trump do you think want to add them to his team right now >> well, i'm john paul manafort for over 40 years. and as a politician, he probably could bring some skills that trump needs at this point, thinking about just what you were talking about a general election i shouldn't campaign. and it's also typical of trump. he, he, he reaches back to people like that and expects things from him. so it's not surprising. i think we'll probably see more of the same as time goes on >> interesting, the former vice president, mike pence, says he cannot in good conscious his words endorse donald trump but he's not saying if he will actually vote for him. listen and watch this. >> i cannot endorse the agenda
12:34 am
that donald trump is carrying into this national debate. >> is that the final word from you? can you be persuaded? >> if >> he changes tax to vote for him? would you vote for him? i won't be endorsing >> donald trump this year i want to be clear. >> what would you vote for? >> i respect the right of republican voters who have made it clear who therefore who they want to be our standard bearer this year so ambassador do you see this as pence potentially leaving the door open to vote for donald trump >> well, i think he wanted to make it clear. he was not endorsing him obviously, and i wish he had gone further and said he wouldn't vote for him because i think that would help persuade republicans that there's somehow not betraying the party if they don't. and that could yet come. >> you also heard trump's say it would be a bloodbath for the country unquote, if he isn't elected, he claims he was
