senior legal analyst, elie honig has with me over her the magic well, elleithee, what do we know about these jurors? >> will jury secti, it's a fascinating exercise, and it's realore art and science are ying to read human beings inherently dynamic and unpredictabl but we've learned some rlly important, i think potentially revealing detas about these seven jurors. these jurors will be on the case so far knofor males three females, let's take a quick look at what we have for juror number one. juror number one will be the forepersonno magic powers asciated with thforeperson. th's the person who generally mmunicat on behalf of the jury with the deliberations inhe room. what jumped out at me, nothing remarkable in the bio, but this is a person who said he watches both fox news and msnbc. that's an interesting combination. if i'm trump and i got anyone who watches any fox news, i want to chance that the jury, but i have to note this in new york, i pi jurie in new york, people sometimes confuse fox news wh the lol fox five and the jury form does not separate those two. so could be that the waactually talkg talking about the local

news, whh is really not partisan. let's go to juror number two turn number two, isn't nurse in new york, you get a lot of medical professionals, lot of hospitals, they're in my experience, medical professionals tend to be technical. they're capable of separating facts from emotion and really prosecutors want th it really depends and how strongly you feel that your cases sed wh you get down to the technical elements of it. so you're always going to yorker watchesnn. that's good to see. juror number tee ay. juror number three. now this is interesting. this is a lawyer and typically the rule of thumb is lawyers don't like lawyers theiruries at the prosecutor's office, we almost automatically got rid of any war, but it's also hard to do because you do have a lot of lawyers in manhattan the concern is that a lawyer might just take overor t jury. they mightay, listen, i'm a lawy, rget about the judge. i know what's going to happen here, but it's rd to seat a jury with no lawyers on it.

interestingly, he does read the wall street jonal, wch has been quite critical of thi paicular case in its editorial pages. so jur number three, i thk would please me from trump's point of view. le's goo jur number four. juror number four is an older man. he's a businessman, he's a family man. he says he finds trump fascinating and mysterious. that would worry me if i was with the da's office. i don't want someone who's enamored with trump or finds any sort of fascination or mystery in him. but again, he doesn't seem to have very strong political views for or against donald trump. let's go ahead, the number five? number five is young african american. this is a teacher, a highly educated woman. she said she does not, did not know that trump is facing charges in other criminal cases. she knows now teachers are another interesting one, teacher sort of cut both ways because on the one hand, teachers know how to say no, right? they know how to tell their students, know you can't do that. on the other hand, teachers are interested in rehabilitation, giving people a second chance. so as a prosecutor, we were always sort of mixed about teachers. so again, this one i think strikes

me as a fair juror. i don't think either side's going to be delighted or overly upset, which are a number five. let's go to juror number six here. turn number six as a software engineer, a young person are recent college grad software engineer's similar to the oncology nurse. i think this is a person who's profession requires her to be analytical to separate out emotion. and again, usually prosecutors like that, by the way, gets news from new york times. i know there's this notion, the new york times as liberal in new york everyone gets there everyone gets their news from the new york times. so i don't read too much into that. and now we have juror number seven, not sure if we have a graphic this just happened juror number seven, wolf is another lawyer. a secular now we have two lawyers a litigator, a civil litigator. so someone who knows his way around the courtroom. so we have a really interesting think jury here. some of what happened here breaks the normal rules, the normal mold for what you wanna do when you're picking a jury my assessment so far is there are certain indicators about these juries that i would like from trump's sayyed, there's other

indicators i would like from the da's sayyed, but i have to say i have to hand it to the judge and the parties here. it seems that these seven jurors, based on what we know, are fair and capable doing exactly what their oath or require them to do, which is to judge this case based on the facts and not based on emotion or politics or elie, i want you to stay with us. i also want to bring in some of our other legal and political experts as well, a jimmy gang, gayle, let me start with you. what was your major takeaway from the seven jurors who have now emerged. >> so first of all, i don't don't think we should be surprised that judge merchan has actually seeded seven jurors. i know there was talk that this would take weeks and weeks, but he has the reputation of being smart experienced, even-handed, and i was told last week he was going to keep it moving and as ellie knows, each sayyed runs out of strikes a certain point, they need to emwer people because they don't know what's coming. i thought it was interesting that when donald trump left today, he used the

word rushed in his statement that the trial was being rushed. >> what do >> we know about donald trump? he has wanted to delay delay, delay. >> i >> think the fact that seven or down so quickly, maybe bothering him on the jurors as elie said, i'm interested that there are two lawyers on the on the jury thus far yes there are, a. lot of lawyers in new work but as you would say you get t concerned, they might influence unduly influence a panel. >> well, if i'm just sprised that you found seven people so quickly in new york without strong opinions about donald trump, he's been a fixture in new york city, in manhattan, in particular for decades, whether it was in business or politically. and to a person. one of the jurors said, well, he's fascinating and mysterious, and other ones said

he speaks his mind. i kinda like that but no oh, no real strong opinions about in one way or another which in new york, it's kind of surprising or they didn't share share. >> let me just say that that's seven out of 90 something. so it took a lot to narrow it down, right? >> you need 12 in the end, six plus signs, i guess there's still more work that needs to be done on chris febary is witus as we, a former federal prosecor, juror number four, it's interesting, told the court, and i'm quoting now, trump makes things interesting given that and other things we've heard to trump be fairly happy with these selections, at least so far. >> i don't know if i would say happy because i agree. i mean, i think this is a solid group of people just based based on what they've described in their occupations and what night, but i agree with ellie. i mean, there are elements of what some of these people disclose, including that comment that if you're trump are going to catch her ear and he only needs one of them, right? he's not going to get acquitted but he if he gets one of them, that's a hung jury in a miss trial.

>> that would be good for him are any of these statements le that we've heard from these prospective jurors, seven of them now, confirm something that prosecutors should worry about. >> yeah, i would worry about very much about the person who finds donald trump fascinating. i mean, look, donald trump, whatever anyone may say, donald trump is enormously charismatic, i guess charismatic can be positive or negative and that would worry me on kush's exactly right. but this is not going to wind up in a not guilty verdict. you need to all 12 to say not guilty. what trump is playing for here as a hung jury and people have to understand 11 one is a hung jury, so i want a wild-card if i'm trump's team, i want someone on that jury who's a narrow and with trump who finds him fascinating, who finds him charismatic and that comment would definitely worry me from the prosecutor's perspective, there were other jurors who said one of the teacher we talked about said that her friends have negative views of donald trump politically and i would like or prosecution would allow that juror two to be seated if as you say, there's potentially a problem there, i would have struck that juror

and the prosecutor i'm not sure it could be. they got to observe the person. we don't that's the big difference that so maybe there was something in the demeanor, maybe there was something maybe there was something in the way the person said it, right? we're just seeing this sort dry transcript fascinating. i mean, what if it was said with an eye roll, i find him always fascinated. all right. i mean so i'm not sure and we can always second guess after the fact, but that one would have jumped off the page to me as a strike. >> well, what trump's lawyers are looking for somebody who's strong and independent and if everybody's going one way, this other person could be the holdout for what you're talking about, which is the hung jury. and it's got to be somebody with a backbone. yeah. and maybe the person who's friends all had strong opinions about donald trump, but she wasn't she wasn't swayed by them one way or another, maybe that would be the person who maybe that's what they were thinking. but you've got to have somebody strong two

withstand any pressure inside the jury room on because what do you think these jurors what's going through the minds of these jurors right now because we're learning a lot, a lot more and more about okay >> yeah. okay. i have some thoughts about what the mission here. first of all, i imagine it's somewhat surreal, right? to be selected i am wondering if some of them are a little unhappy with the amount of information that is being made public about them. now this is not the fault of the media when be very clear about this responsibility to guard all of the spirit, very specific information that we're learning resides with the da's office and with the judge. i'm a little surprised that we are learning all of this because i do not think this jury is going to remain anonymous necessarily. if you keep if they keep this up, you're worried about their safety? yeah, i'm worried about their safety. i mean, it's up to them if they want to write a book after all, this is said and done, but that's your option. they shouldn't be out of this way. they're not supposed to be out of this way because we don't know her name was but we do know a lot of details about the virginia right. if you know where >> someone works, if you have some idea of their neighborhood

it doesn't take a lot in this day and age to pick up the phone, to go through social media and see if you can put together a profile of someone. so i think it is important that as much as possible they need to stay anonymous, as anchorage said, if at the end of the day they want to become public that's their choice. but at the end of the e jean carroll case, we all remember for the judge said to the jurors, if i were you i would stay nobody knew their names, right? nobody knew they were >> good point is very important points we want these jurors to be safe. they're doing important work and they have to be protected no doubt about that. all right. guys stay with us. we have a lot more to discuss coming up. we'll have more on day two. of this truly historic criminal trial of a former president of the united states stay with us. you're in the situation >> you in the fight against climate change. this is harvard

the second day of donald trump's hush money trial is just ended with seven jurors now seated. let's bring back our legal and political experts in elie honig. once again, new york prosecutors and trump's legal team were told now they have each have just four strikes left tell us what that means. >> so those arprecious, the are what we call your peremptory strikes, meaning, even if a person gs through the whole filtering process, ev if a person does not have a hardship, even if a person does not self-identify and say i have too much bias, i need to go that's two ways we get rid of people, even if the judge has said this person is okay in my book, still have that gas peremptory challenge as a prosecutor or defense they each start with ten, meaning they each removedix and you want to hold onto those. there's sometrategy involved in th. there's some gamesmanship involved in this. but what you really looking to do is eliminate the rst-case scenios, especially from the prosecuto's side, beuse as we were just discussing, you just want to guard againsthat one or two rogue? manhattan

knights, who might be sympathetic to donald trump. it's interestg on costco, you've been invoed i secut, selectg jurs over over these years. swhen wn when do you notice strikes someone who may be giving decent answers, but you still want to strike that person from becoming a juror. >> well, i mean, these are your wildcards, right? lot of, it comes down to intuition. i think so of the sorts of things that elliott was talking about, a stray thought strike comment, depending on how it's sort of described, right? are they leaning too far in a certain direction and it's too strong feelings on certain issues >> it's >> it's an art, not a science can you just have to have a gut instinct? and if you're not to think disperse, it looks like he's going to be good or bad you get rid of them. well, yeah, it also >> trump has jury consultants. yeah. right. with him. so they have background information on some of these people. they can do research on them, look at their social media posts, things like that. some of that's coming up during the prosecution is jury consultants. do they have the same? >> you have donald trump who thinks he's smarter than any

of the lawyers or the jury consultants. and we heard him today grumbling in court. he's got to be careful about that, but i bet he's got a lot of input about who's going to be on this jury. >> i'm really curious to what extent donald trump is making these decisions. >> yeah, exactly. legal team is making these because todd blanche was a former colleague of mine at the southern district, tried a bunch of cases as was alvin bragg's same thing if i'm todd blanche, i'm telling donald trump, mr. president with all due respect, i've done a lot of these and i have a good sense how this works that you listened to your client, but who's calling the shot? what if they disagree? what if they're down to their last strike? >> and >> trump wants to use is it or and blanche doesn't. that's an interesting dynamic. >> you know, it's interesting, jamie, because one of the jurors was dismissed after it was revealed, he wrote lock him up in a social media post about donald trump. but this juror, who claimed he could be fair and unbiased, was still dismissed, >> right. so that's pretty obvious. if that's the kind of thing you're saying. and i also think all these social

media posts, it says a lot. they are looking in a normal case, you're not going through usually jurors, so there's a different level of insight that both sides have the judge also did manish donald trump and his lawyers today, and i thought that that was interesting that this happened early on judge martian is he did this today. i think because he was setting the tone and an elegant you're not unclear if can talk about it more, but i know that he runs a very tight courtroom. but to do it today just he was letting him know. there's not gonna be any nonce and that's the struggle. i think that'll be so interesting to watch because donald trump trump has used to being in control of everything. and here he is sitting in this courtroom and he is not in control of this

courtroom. the judge is in control of this courtroom, and i could see that causing some trouble for donald trump. i mean, he's just not used to being in this position. >> i agree. i think the judge is making a point of what today it's a discipline issue, and i think i've been complimentary, the judge, i think he's done a good job. he's running efficient fair process. i do have to criticize one thing that he said today though with regard to trump's team digging into social media, you're allowed to do that as long as it's publicly available, social media. that's really important as that juror that we just discussed shows this is a person who said he could be fair and impartial. but was talking about locking up donald trump and the judge said at one point, we're not going to be doing this for every juror folks. we got to move on. >> that to me is a mistake. that's improper by the judge because they have a right to dig into this. that's the whole ballgame for donald trump's team. and if you need to take a few extra minutes to look into that, that's extraordinarily revealing an important, important point. indeed, our >> guys thank you very, very much. justin had another house republican backs of effort to oust house speaker mike johnson. what this speaker is

notion that someone we're bringing a vacate motion when we are >> simply here trying to do our jobs well, check in with our chief congressional correspondent, manu raju, is joining us from capitol hill right now. give us the latest bundle. yeah. >> speaker johnson isn't a precarious position given that he is a razor thin majority and can only afford to lose one republican vote on any party-line measure. and if two republicans vote to oust him, that would mean that humid or rely on democrats to survive in this position. those two republicans, thomas massie and marjorie taylor greene are coming after h after a series of deals that he caught it clean to keep the government open. but lately, now, his new plant and tried to advance billns dollars in aid ukrain that is something that has cause anched on the right, particularly among the two members. but in talking to republicans up and down the line, it is clear that there is ample anger at those two republicans. and this party, this conference was, has been badly divided since it fall's ouster of kevin mccarthy has yet to repair those frayed

relations hi mike johnson is a man, is in probably in the toughest position of anybody in this country right now and he's doing the best he can. i >> think these folks need to grow up to be honest with you? this is not good leadership. the republican brand suffers because the actions of a handful of people election year, having a speaker who can't do the job is really bad. so the alternative is worse. >> and if johnson doesndeed have to rely on democrats to save his position, a l of republicans that we ve been speaking to belie you'll be in a weakened position, perhaps able to serve out the rest of this year, but uncertain if you will be able to do so in the next congress and wolf, there's some speculation about whether there'll bm several people who could replacehem, who are tentiallangling for that position. we'll s how that plays out as johnson tries to survive this revolt, you, a lot of ambitious folks up ther but what's in these separate foreign aid bills that now seem to be emerging mano.

and what comes nt? >> yea the speaker has laid out his strategy to try to advance several of these foreign aid packages as all part of one bill in the senate. remember, to about two months ago and $95 billion plan for ukraine, israel, and taiwan where it was vance is collected dust in the house for two months. now he wants to move on. each of those measures individually, including a separate measure thawould include someolicy measures, including a n for tiktok. but here's the cah wolf. there's an expectation and ultimate it's could be roll togetheintone big package. passed the housas e bipackage, sending it over to senate. and that's whathose hardliners are upse y more aidoing to ukraine, ave but ulmate, johnson may have to do that to get mocratic suppo, to get this out the house. ye. good. weren't mano raja on capitol hill? thank you very much. let's get some more news right no we're following t united states supre court. it just heard major arguments fm an accused capitol rioter that could potentially impact the special counsel's case against donald trump himself. cnn's

paula reid has are report tonight. the supreme court's conservative majority appears likely to toss a criminal charge that hundreds of capital riders and former president donald trump had faced a decision that could deal a significant blow to the justice department today's case centers on joseph fischer, a former pennsylvania kenya police officer, who was charged with multiple federal crimes for his role in the january 6 attack according to court documents, even texting take democratic congress to the gallows and can't vote if they can breathe lol he is challenging a federal law that makes it a crime for anyone who otherwise it's obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding arguing the law passed in 2002 and the wake of the enron accounting scandal is not meant to apply to january 6. rioters. >> justice samuel alito >> pressed fissures lawyer on the meaning of otherwise in

that statute, you may be fighting off more than you can chew by suggesting if if you are indeed suggesting that the otherwise clause can only be read the way you read it, >> chief justice john roberts also took issue with prosecutors broadly interpreting a law that's geared toward prohibiting the destruction of records. >> you can't just tack it on and say look at it as if it's standing alone because it's not the three liberal justices appearing to for the government's positiith stice sonia sotomayor suggesting the court adopted a plain reading of the law. >> there is a sign on a theater. you will be kicked out of the theater if you photograph or record the actors or otherwise disrupt the performance if you start yelling i think no one would question that you can be expected to be kicked out under this policy and push back on the argument that the statute hasn't been used in response

to violent protests in the past pointing out january 6 is unprecedented. >> we've never had a situation before where there's been a situation like this with people attempting to stop a proceeding violently so i'm not sure what a lack of history proves. >> former president trump has also been charged under the same law, though for different conduct. it's unclear what impact this case could have on his prosecution. yeah. >> and while it's unclear, the impact that that case could have on trump's federal election prosecution. we know that next week the justices will be backed, hear arguments about whether trump has presidential immunity to shield him from the charges in that case. the decisions in both of these matters expected in mid to late june? >> yeah. well, big decision coming out from the us supreme court, paula reid. thank you very much. i want to bring it a credit congressman jason crow of colorado. he sits on the house foreign affairs and

intelligence committees. congressman, thanks so much for joining us as someone who like you lived through the attack on the us capitol on january 6 how will you feel if the us supreme court tosses out charges for several hundred of these writers and potentially some charges against trump himself. >> well willfully, it'd be a bad day for those of us who lived through that day, but it would be a bad day for the country and democracy, right? yeah, i i saw firsthand the violence glance that of course ended up in one police officer dead, several of whom have taken their own lives because of the trauma. after the riot and the insurrection and of course, 160 others brutally beaten many of whom still have terrible injuries as a result of that. but i'm also really concerned about the message that it sends to political extremists around the country. we are in an age of rising political extremism that's becoming more violin as months go by. the message of this would send that would be awful and really would undermine our

public safety >> and as you know, at the same time, a how speaker johnson is facing the threat of an ouster as he plans to break up foreign aid and pass separate bills for israel and ukraine if it comes to that, would you vote to save johnson? >> i don't know. we have to see whether it does come to that. i what i do know is that the national security of the united states relies on us passing this bill to support ukraine, to make sure that we're addressing the holistic array of massive threats that our country is facing right now, there's actually a very easy way to, for us to do that. we can vote them the bipartisan senate bill that passed us 70 votes in the senate. and it will go directly to the president. and we could turn that aid back on. and i'm far less concerned about the inside baseball who gets to keep their leadership position and who gets ousted. then i'm about the lives that are at stake here. i've fought in iraq and afghanistan. i know what it's like to be on the front lines and to feel like you've been forgotten and no one's having your back. i'd talked today

from my office, i zoomed in with a bunch of ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines while they were hiding in their bunker. and i can tell you they're morale is very low, so we need to have their back. we're going to get this done as you know, congressman, there's still a lot of unanswered questions about the details of these possible plans. what would you vote for a ukraine bill if it's structured as a loan, which some republicans are recommending yeah. would you accept an israel bill if it doesn't include humanitarian aid for the palestinians in gaza. >> but first of all, we just have to get the aid to ukraine and there's a way to do that, like i just said, we actually have a bipartisan way to do that. if that if that bill were put on the floor today would pass overwhelmingly if republicans are not willing to do that, then yes, we have to figure out alternatives and figure out what machination of different bills we can actually get over the finish line with risk back to humanitarian aid in gaza. i have long said that we cannot support military

operations. offensive capabilities unless we address the humanitarian crisis. in gaza right now. there's one million palestinians who are on the verge of famine. that is a morally untenable situation. we have to save those lives. we have to get a surgery which of aid to those folks, but it's also a national security threat. so if the intent of this bill is to address the national security of the united states. we certainly are undermining that if we don't meet he's very catastrophic humanitarian crises around the world of which gaza as one, sudan has another in haiti is yet another >> these are huge, huge decisions congress to jason crow, thanks so much for joining us thank you. adjust ahead. our own anderson cooper will join us live from israel, where the country's war cabinet is debating how to respond to that recent attack by iran. as we learn new details and how the us expects israel to hit back every weekday morning, cnn five things has what you need to get
