trump endorsed and quite trumpy in lawmaker, who has done such try to sow original. i colonies with a k. the k is original so he's, he's done things like tried to overturn during the 2020 election, promoted covid, misinformation. and so people said, hey, this is probably ncw a basketball teams landing and troy, he said, your economy, thanks, kami and then he expanded on that today after fat checks had come out saying the fake news won't investigate illegals arriving in our cities. citizens have to investigate. but i have to say if this soucie, a citizen investigation, i don't think he's gonna be hired for too many private investigator jobs anytime soon, and he's an actual legislator like an actual prison. he's an actual, he's a state representative in the state of michigan and elected official indeed. >> wow daniel, dale, god bless you, how long that take you, daniel >> there's very little i mean, it took an hour or so to write, but actually figure out what happened a few minutes >> all right? yeah. a good few minutes. wow. to do, dana del.

amazing. thank you. appreciate it the news continuous. you're on cnn >> friday, march 29, right now on cnn this morning, fundraising frenzy biden pulling way ahead of donald trump in the cash column, you've got an assist from to former presidents special equipment headed to baltimore to begin the task of removing tons of twisted steel from the frigid patapsco river. and house republicans moving forward with the impeachment of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas >> all right. 05:00 a.m. here in washington. good. i'm maybe you live look at new york city where there were three presidents fundraising last night. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. begin with the fundraising battle in the race for the white house, the biden campaign holding a star studded gala at new york's radio city music hall last night, it featured a panel discussion with former

president obama and clinton. it was moderated by late show host steven cole bear. some of the biggest stars and entertainment like lizzo you see, are there came to perform for that pack house, but this large crowds showed up outside radio city to protest. biden's support for israel during its war in gaza. president interrupted repeatedly inside the hall as well the event boosted biden's war chest by at least $25 million and added to his growing fundraising advantage over former president donald trump. the former president's campaign hopes to top biden's hall when it holds an april 6 fundraiser in florida? their goal for that mar-a-lago event 33 million. >> try me >> now to discuss as national political reporter for the hill, julia manchester. julia, good morning to you. yeah, good morning. casey. thanks for having me this fundraising advantage >> between the former president and the current president is widening quickly. what implications does that have? big picture? >> picture i think it's obviously benefits biden and

allows him to really focus on getting that message out in those swing states to really amino spend that money and it's in huge contrast with former president trump, because as biden's campaigning, he's visiting swing states. he's holding these big dollar fundraisers trump is dealing with these legal issues but when we're talking about yesterday with trump, we were talking about that effort to get his case thrown out in georgia. now, trump was also in new york yesterday, obviously at the wake of that fallen off new york city police officer. but still, that fundraising advantage really big for biden probably come for trump. >> yeah. i mean, i think you alluded to this but the costs that the both of these men have are quite different because of trump's legal issues. >> he >> has all these legal fees. obviously, he's been using superpacs to raise money for to pay those legal fees. there's obviously the issue of the bond in new york and his civil fraud trial that he had said he was unable to pay its now lower than it was before. >> joe >> biden only has to spend

money on campaigning, right >> right. >> and that's a huge, huge advantage. and he can also just focus on campaign and he can literally go yeah, exactly. and i don't necessarily know if i buy this argument in a general election that trump can show up to a courthouse, then talk to national media yet and reporters at when he's outside of the courthouse or on a break and count that as campaigning. it absolutely. worked in this primary because it's able to galvanize the base. but does the average swing voter, independent voter looking in on that say that donald trump's legal issues impacts them day-to-day versus joe biden or another candidate? that talking about the economy or health care, i don't know. >> so julia, the trump campaign is really focusing in on what really wasn't new york split-screen yesterday, right. this fundraiser on the one hand at radio city star-studded, the photographer annie leibovitz, was there to take pictures with the most generous donors you can pay half-a-million dollars, get your pick i'm sure taken potentially with three former three presidents plus yourself

and then you had donald trump on the other hand, attending this week on long island outside of not far from new york city, but really a mile away. let me show you a little bit of how fox was characterizing this last night. take a look. >> i don't think you've ever seen a more perfect example of the sparkling, obscene lee aloof elites >> in your life? >> so this is really making a cultural argument. here >> what do you make of, of that is good felt, right and should there be any concern on the part of the biden administration? >> well, look, i think it certainly is an effort. if they're going to do that split screen that does appeal, but some right-leaning voters and trump's base, again galvanizing, galvanized them. it also could appeal to independent voters saying, look donald trump, even though we know donald trump is a millionaire and htee is not like the average voter. he is acting like the average voter

and going to the wake of a fallen new york police officer vs biden, who is in radio city, who is doing an event that most average americans won't be able to attend. but at the same time though, it also allows trump and his support and his supporters to amplify this issue of crime, which is something that his campaign has been working to do we've seen republicans really tried to message on that this cycle. and also last cycle. >> yeah, i'm wished and we should know in our hearts go out to the families of the fallen officer there. what is it? i mean, we've talked about this ad nauseum since trump was on the stage why is it >> i remember walking into his office in trump tower. everything is gilded. yeah. right. i mean, it's very wealth forward glitz forward. and while they're able to say right now that yes, biden went and did this fancy fundraiser with very wealthy people. they're also trying to say, well, don't worry, we have our own, we have our own version of that coming up in a couple of weeks. it's going to be at mar-a-lago, which we should notice, private club there's gonna be a lot of people, a lot of money. but at the same time

there are a lot of voters that seemed to give donald trump more credit for being an every man, brian, then his actual style of living suggests, i mean, donald trump lives better than the vast majority of americans. why is it that voters are willing to give him that? >> i think we can go back to 2016 and see how he paid attention to voters who said they felt like they'd been forgotten over the course of the obama administration, the bush administration, going back particularly in the rust belt for example, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, all of the states that really flipped from blue to red in 2016, these voters liked the way that donald trump was talking about blue collar issues or issues impacting blue color rotors and also on issues like trade for example, he's really flipped the script for republicans on that, talking about america first. and i think those issues, the way he speaks out them really resonate with them. as voters, i think these voters feel particularly donald trump's base field that he, even though he lives a completely different life then

they do he understands them, unlike most establishment politicians, he understands, i guess, being outside of a lot of his life was trying to break into this, elise. yeah, manhattan >> and being outcasts raman. all right. julie manchester. thank you very much for getting started on this friday. i appreciate it. >> coming up next, sean diddy combs. now the target of a federal sex trafficking probe will dig into the latest and what we know, plus israel called out by the international court of justice this and don congressman don viral, virginia joins us to discuss how his state in the country, this region, impacted by the baltimore bridge collapse see central today and seven eastern >> why choose asleep numbers smart bad? >> can it keeps me warm when i'm cold? >> wait, no, i'm always hot. >> sleep number. does that can i met my son? i'd softer. >> i make my side firmer. >> speak number. does that can

more food into gaza. the united states, jordan, egypt, britain, the uk, france, and others have been aired dropping food into gaza, sometimes with deadly effect earlier this week, 12, people drowned off the coast of gaza, trying to retrieve some of that airdropped of food. but what we're seeing is that this situation in gaza is simply going from bad to worse. so far according to doctors in gaza, 30 people have died there as a result of dehydration and malnutrition 24 of them children won a six-year-old boy died yesterday as a result of dehydration and malnutrition, the united states, for instance, is going pointing to sort of, we can almost described in his ludicrous lengths to try to relieve the situation in gaza. they are in the process of sending 1,000

impeached. >> i will i will say this christiane i don't let it distract me from the work would i have preferred that correctness had prevailed of course so the fact that it did not does not slow me down in doing the work that i'm tasked to do by the president of the united states >> the house will deliver the articles of impeachment to the senate on april 10. that's when congress returns from recess, joining me now, associated press congressional reporter for new shamir and axios national politics reporters. sophia cai i can morning to both of you. thank you so much for being here >> furnish. let me start with you. um, there was some question about how they were going to handle this. why did they decide to send it over now and what's next? >> yeah. so i mean, johnson had to deal with funding the government, which is the they say, oh, you can't really go through with an impeachment trial without the government being funny. i mean, you can, but lotto goodbye. yeah >> so he had to fund the government first, as we saw that he did last week before they left. and now he's facing

pressure obviously, he has a motion to vacate hanging over his head as you notice, marjorie taylor greene is one of the impeachment managers that signed on that letter to chuck schumer saying that you should take this up as soon as sending it gets back on april 10. so the timing is it makes sense the two big things are going to be dealing with right now is ukraine aid and repeat, the senate does what with it. >> i >> mean, schumer has already said that he plans to assign the jurors, which are the members of the senate on both sides. but i think we're going to see a fast way for them to do away with this. they're not going to hold a lanky, a lengthy trial. and the way that johnson wants them to interesting. okay. >> so this obviously plays into the major political issue that republicans want to focus on, which is the border and immigration issues. how does that play into the debate we're going to see on the hill and effect the presidential campaign it's something that both president's now are talking about, especially from preston trump. you saw him

yesterday while biden was hosting a fundraiser, he went and attended at the funeral of a nypd officer who was killed by someone who came here legally that is something that he's trying to make time. and again on. >> is it i'm not sure. there have there definitely have been issues with people that were here illegally in terms of the cops, forgive me if i'm if i'm off base here, i do know this person had been repeatedly arrested and was out, but to your point, this of course, the issue of crime type closely with the issue of immigration, both things republicans want to focus on. >> yeah, absolutely >> so far now, let's go back to what republicans are continuing to try to do on capitol hill. the oversight chairman james comer act just invited joe biden, president biden to a public hearing as they tried to look into his business dealings further speaker johnson wrote on the platform formerly known as

twitter quote there are signifificant outstanding questions that have emerged from our inquiry that the president can answer. i encourage him to take the opportunity >> this inquiry has >> not gone. four republicans the way people who were trying to find something here had hoped it would go in that there hasn't been anything that has come up yet. >> why do this? >> well, i mean, the reason that mayorkas is now getting this revival and buy them sending it over to the senate is the fact is the very fact that the biden impeachment has stalled they've interviewed dozens of witnesses. they have not been able to find a single person that can point to evidence that showed that joe biden, whether he was vice president or president of the united states, did anything that benefited the him and his name and his family in an official setting. and they've they've tried for months to do this and it's interesting the invite a to biden, right? i mean, i think we can all say it's very unlikely that the president united states will appear before the oversight committee hearing. very, very,

very, very, very unlikely. >> but i mean it goes to show i mean, it's it's a last-ditch effort by for them to deliver something they're facing so much republican pressure. they know the mayorkas trial is not going to go anywhere in the senate and now they're trying to pull out all the stops to see what they can get with biden all right, let's let's talk a little bit about some of your reporting from this week. sophia, we reported here at cnn that the rnc, the republican national committee, which is kind of re staffing itself after ousting ronna mcdaniel and bringing in trump loyalists to head it. they've been asking potential job candidates whether they thought the 2020 election was stolen you got this answer. you reported a trump campaign official says, quote, if we don't have someone who has thought deeply about these issues as it pertains the republican party, then that would suggest they're not a particularly curious young person. this was a press call. i think cnn was on this call as well >> what is the behind the scenes? >> in reality around the story

that they got out? there are republicans and the trump campaign concerned about it? do they think this is legitimate >> so the trump campaign has been it's coming in the context of hirings that have been happening. not yet, but they're removing fitter process very quickly after two weeks of the rnc state operations being really paralyzed and held in a holding patterns with at least 20 state political staff getting an email saying that they're going to go and could reapply. that is the backbone of the republican party's state operations. and so the trump campaign, realizing that they're playing catch-up to the biden campaign when it comes to having ground operation in the battleground states, they're really coming in and trying to move very quickly this week before march 31, when they're saying that they're going to terminate everyone, that they've notified furnished what do you make of

this? it seems like there is some concern among the trump campaign about this kind of this question that apparently these job candidates were being reportedly asked. >> yeah. >> i mean, it goes back to like, this is going january 6. and what happened the 2020 election? is not in the past. and many people, including democrats, have tried to make light of that. if donald trump were to become president again, he has allies in congress that will make this the number one issue. we see this with the reinvestigation of january 6. that's happening in the house with bringing in new witnesses, with bringing in no new videotape that could potentially debunk some of the claims that the select committee investigated for months and so it really interesting that they're requiring anyone who works for the republican national committee to show their loyalty. you wet, what side were you on? during the election? what did you see happen? and we all know the election was fair. there was no evidence of any sort of trump

had the opportunity to challenge results six >> yeah. >> yeah. yes. yeah. for sure. all right. for new shams area. so if you're kai thank you both here in this friday. i appreciate it. >> all right. sean diddy combs. now, the subject of a federal sex trafficking investigation, you probably saw that on monday, his los angeles and miami homes were swarmed by law enforcement. and we've learned since then that the department of homeland security carried out the searches. did he was about to leave miami for a spring break trip with his twin daughters earlier this week when he was stopped opt by law enforcement and then released, did his alleged drug mule was also arrested monday on drug related charges to tie into all of this is cnn legal analyst, criminal defense attorney joey jackson, joel. good morning. it's wonderful to have you with us what is the latest year on this? investigation? and i think we should note that it comes in the wake of some civil lawsuits from members of his

inner circle, one of which he settled for a significant sum of money. but now you have obviously the fed's looking into him. where does this stand and what makes it unique >> yeah. casey, good morning to you so i believe and let's start with the lawsuit you mentioned because i think that's very significant where it stands, is that the investigatory stage and what that means, right? is it the federal government who's invested? let's look at me case. you mentioned this homeland security investigations agency. they have jurisdiction over sex trafficking now, we believe it's really is at the investigatory state because if the fed's had enough to arrest, you had to be sure that they would. and so with respect to the lawsuit you mentioned, i think that they provide a significant roadmap in terms of that investigation, right? anybody to be clear can file any lawsuit about anything lawsuits are simply allegations. they're not criminal, they are civil,

meaning looking for monetary damages. however that said, i think when you look to the cassie ventura lawsuit, his old girlfriend last year, last november, i think it was a critical mistake. has for him to kasie for him to allow. that is pie dethie that lawsuit of casie to get out in the public domain. why? because now prosecutors have a roadmap of the alleged elicit and shocking behavior that was ascribed to mr. combs. why else? because now now not only do fed's have that to investigate, but other lawsuits followed which allowed the federal government, i believe, to dig into this, to investigate, to get search warrants that were predicated upon reason to believe that there was criminal activity and boom, there you go. in terms of the actual searching of the home miami, the searching of the home in california. and what to be sure is the serious analysis review right. and scrutiny of anything they found

to determine whether it leads to any criminality. so still preliminary to your question. but what very serious and very concerning if you're kim, based upon things the fed's may find and where it may go from there in terms of a criminal varieties still early, but we'll see what is the next shoe to drop, if any >> so joey the combs camp pushed back against call these raids military style. some the tabloid outlets have pictures of what the homes look like after the raids that seemed to make it clear that they were looking for electronics, they tore stuff apart in an attempt to find that is that typically how these raids go and what is it about the electronics specifically that is so interesting to them? >> yes. so in terms of the raids, kasie, the issue was whether or not there was that overkill. i think that's a legitimate inquiry to make. was that necessary? now the fed's have pushed back on that

indicating that lucky has a private security detail. number one, we don't know what, if anything, would occam from that. and number two certainly when you come with a lot of people, if you're the government and law enforcement, it serves as a deterrent. you want everybody there to be safe to be secure. that was issues with respect to alleged ms of his family, et cetera and so i think those issues are debatable and whether it was necessary is certainly something that people can question in terms of what they were looking for, they're looking for specifically, you mentioned those electronic devices. many of these lawsuits allege behavior with respect to diddy and what he was allegedly doing and this elicit behavior and these gang activity, gang sexual assault activity allegations illicit use of various this things and tape recording of things that he would do allegedly for his own pleasure. and so if their allegations and again, they are allegations, i think the fed

said, okay, let's see if there's anything they're and again, we believe that there's not at this point anything that is criminal in nature because he would have been arrested, right. that connects him. but the investigatory portion is designed to determine are there these devices, what's on them? what was he doing? is it illegal? and if so, yes. what the next step is? grand jury. grand jury is simply a body of people that vote not guilt or innocence. but whether there's reason to believe that a crime was committed edit and he committed them. we don't know if they're there yet. we don't know if they're going to take this. they being the fed's to a grand jury, but that's would be critical evidence before a grand jury if they go there, the federal government and certainly before a trial jury, if it gets there, and that's the significance of any electronic devices and what may be found on them all right. >> cnn legal analyst joey jackson. joey, thanks very much for being here with us this morning. i really appreciate it >> course. thanks. >> all right. up next here, heavy equipment heading to

really a down payment. but this is not going to be a small project by any stretch. and we know that it's going to be costly, but we also know that that cost is worth to get baltimore back on its feet >> maryland's governor says authorities are moving at full speed on reopening the shipping channel to try and restart port traffic. we are still waiting for search and rescue efforts to resume. divers had to pause the search on wednesday because the debris made it unsafe. baltimore's mayor says that he's hopeful the bodies of the four other workers who are presumed dead can be recovered. joining me now, democratic virginia congressman don buyer, who is with us this morning, congressman, thank so much for being with us so let's start with the bridge collapse and its impact on our region here in the washington, dc area, you represent a region inside the washington beltway. mostly this, of course, the baltimore beltway, but the ramifications, the economic conditions, obviously very significant. how is it impacting the region and what do you expect from

congress to try to help? >> well, let's take effecting the region much in terms of economic activity, yet certainly it's made us all very sad. i think it's really important to point out that those eight menn on the ridge, six of whom apparently died. for all legal immigrants from around the world who are out there in the middle of the night in the cold in the wind maintaining our infrastructure, hardworking people, reshaped them the biggest thing i think is what's going to happen to supply chains because we don't, i think we don't appreciate how incredibly important and economic club baltimore is. for example, my family has been in the car business for years. most of this car is coming through baltimore. >> and so that's going to >> getting the channels opens. we really important >> then the bridge >> we're lucky that we have two other major >> interstate of tunnels that go through baltimore to get people up and down the east coast. but rebuilding the bridge, it's going to take a couple of years. i think. >> what do you think the impact is going to be on the car industry because it sounding

like it might take weeks, if not months to actually reopen the channel. >> well we're just went through this with the pandemic when we had a different supply chain problem. >> but >> what it did sadly, or if you're a car dealer we're happily, it drove prices up. >> because anytime >> you have limited supply, there's limit the demand is greater which has acted for our consumers >> so this could ultimately drive up the price of autos. autos also a white house that's grappling with inflation. so let's talk about the politics in congress of disaster relief, because this didn't use to for your question, i mean, we have seen right after if you go back and look at what happened when some years ago, the 35 bridge, i35 bridge collapsed in minnesota, president george w bush was out there saying, hey, we're gonna get eight out here. congress acted almost immediately on that we're living in much different political times. are you confident that congress can get the money out the door to repair this bridge? >> yes, i am. and i certainly hope so. we have some ugly times with sandy hook to wear people who didn't live near the east coast. we're voting against that. but in the

meantime, we've put a lot of money into texas, into iowa, into california. we stepped up again and again for the people who represent other parts of the country to make sure that their citizens needs are met >> congressman, let's also talk about one of the major issues facing you and democrats in the house of representatives. and that is potentially ukraine aid. marjorie taylor greene right-wing congresswoman, is threatening to try to oust the house speaker mike johnson. if he puts this aid on the floor, he may need democratic help to keep his job. would you be willing to help bail out mike johnson if he moves forward with a ukraine aid package? >> yes >> absolutely. i will >> we're going to look first-order leadership to hakeem jeffries, katherine katherine clark. but what they've said, i've very much agree with which is that if mike johnson or current speakers willing first let us keep the government open, which he did last week. and then to put ukraine money out there, let allow there to be a vote then we don't want to just

throw him under the bus. if he's willing to do the right thing. we'd rather stick with him than somebody who is wild is marjorie taylor greene >> congressman. the other sort of news we're grappling with this morning, this major fundraiser that president biden held in new york city with two former presidents, he was repeatedly interrupted by protesters who are upset about his conduct the war in gaza president obama actually encouraged him to encourage the crowd to listen to what they had to say in that context. do you think president biden is striking the right balance between supporting israel and speaking up for the humanitarian concerns and gaza, i do think so. >> it's been a journey we're very different from where we were in october and early november, but as the civilian casualties continued to mountain gaza's, the hunger has gotten worse. and as we continue to be ever more dismayed about the way netanyahu is waging this war. i think he's trying to get it right. we see this just in the abstention from the un

resolution on a ceasefire. we'd vetoed two or three times before. so i think we're moving in the direction of trying to put more pressure on netanyahu two ways this war in the west, for sensible way. i have to ask you, i have you because this is an issue that it's both intensely important to the city where we are but it's also potentially at national in terms of glenn youngkin, the republican governor of virginia, we just learned that the capital's in the wizards are going to stay here in dc because in richmond, they couldn't get a deal to bring those stadiums two virginia what is your response to that? do you think that that was the right decision or should for those teams to be moving to virginia? >> well, i have very mixed because virtually every citizen i talked to in alexandria was against it. so there was not much local support. on the other hand, our city council was really excited about the economic impact that was going to come but as a washingtonian all my life and my parents do,

i am glad that we will keep the city strong if we empty out or center city, it's not good for our suburbs, right? >> because it's obviously everything happens here as big impact in your district and elsewhere and finally, i know you have, you are passionate about artificial intelligence to the point that you have tried to educate yourself. can you explain that and can you also help help me understand kind of what your thinking is in terms of how this is going to impact our elections this year. >> well, that's really understand the reason i get so excited about it was because i think that of all the technology is out there. this is the one that will change all of our lives and unknown ways for generations to come so there's rostral upside, especially on the healthcare side. but potential downsides, we have the special 24% taskforce that mike johnson, hakeem jeffries appointed. and we're really trying to get down to regulating it in ways that we never did for social media. so it's very exciting in terms of this election, probably the number one thing we're concerned about, our deepfake next not coming from our people, but from russia to china. other places. more

people will vote in elections this year, that any time in human history, which is very exciting. we want to make sure that they're voting on real facts, not deepfakes, right? >> chris. and it's very hard to tell, quite frankly, on your phone what's coming through the thrill and not congressman buyer. thank you very much jake or childless, i appreciate get it all right. time now for sports, the alabama crimson tide rolls into the elite aid after knocking off number one seed north carolina, andy scholes has this morning's bleacher report good morning. >> yeah. good morning, guys. you don't one of the most blood parts of march madness every year as you just never know which teams are going to make deep rods and the tournament for seed alabama, the first team to knock out a one see this year, they can thank senior grant nelson down one under 40 seconds to go, nelson get going to get they'll walk in here plus when nelson busy with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and five blogs and bamba upsets
