breaking news and to cnn and then there were five, two of the seven and panel jurors in the hush money trial of former president donald trump have been excused. we're going to break down why and talk about what this means for the difference fence and prosecution moving forward plus from the trial to the trail, president biden in philly today, receiving an endorsement from the family of one of his rivals we're not talking about just any family here. this is a political dynasty shunning one of their own. we're going to take you there, lie let the chips fall where they may hey, those words coming from house speaker mike johnson with his job on the lion, his conference in open conflict he now says passing a ukraine aid bill is worth the political risk following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news18 in his day three
10:02 am
of jury selection in donald trump's historic hush money trial. and it's been full of twists and turns. when we started at the de seven jurors had been in paneled, but now that number is back down to five to jurors were smissed one, because s expressed coerns over idenfyin inrmation that had been made publ. another,fter prosecutors argue that he gave deceptive answers earlier this week, so 13 more spots still need to be filled and now nine prosctive rors are in th mix. answering the judge's questionnaire. cnn chief legal analyst and anchor laura coates is outside the courthouse for us up to s with thists bring toy it has beequite the day we began the day with seven jurors sitting onlhaving to get now 11 more to get that coveted 18 where you'd have 12 regular jurors and then six alternates who would not know
10:03 am
their identity as an option to the end of the trial, evidence but now we've already lost two. >> i want to bring in keras canal here, kara. first, we had somebody who called in and said, listen, i believe that my anonymity has been compromised and she could no longer be impartial. she was excused. then a second juror was excused as afternoon. what happened the? >> so this was a juror that the prosecution had started looking into his background and had uncovered they believed it was him. they nted to clarify thisbut they believed that he had been arrested in the 1990s for tearing down campaign political science during them campaign signs. and it was a cause that they raised as concerned because one ofhe questions on the questionnaire had asked if you pad essentially ever been accud of a crime or arrested of a crime and he had said no. so they wanted to inquire further about that. it took a little while to get him here misunderstanding about when he was supposed to show up. and then he was questioned at the bench outside of the week, we could not hear it as the press, it is going to remain seal. but there was a questioning at the bench between the judge, the
10:04 am
prosecutors, and trump's attorney. now, at one point, there was some laughter in his response to one of the questions he was then removed from the courtroom. the attorneys discussed it and they decided that they would excuse him from the case. so now we're back to five and back to business to try to go through these for prospective jurors who are here today answering questions. >> it also tells me that at some point the idea of just having six alternate jurors. so whenever you do have that initial 12, that number might have to expand as more details might be uncovered through the course of the trial, there's not really a finite period of time when that's it. you can no longer look into the jurors at all. that might be an ongoing issue in this case. >> i mean, we've seen that they've been doing some pretty quick digging into these social media, for example, right? trump's team identified a couple of social media posts before any jurors receded. and in fact, the judge agreed that they should be excused for cause because of some post that they made as far back as eight years ago, the prosecution has started looking into the jurors after learning they were seated
10:05 am
once they were seated and uncovered this question, we'll answer that der excused. so the process is working. it's just as you're saying, it's a question of how quickly do we get this jury and how much time do they have before the case gets underway? if for them to uncover anything that could potentially be problematic. but they now have 18 jurors in the box, and those jurors will then be questioned. gen. by the attorneys, 30 minutes for the prosecution, 30 minutes for trump's lawyers, and then strikes could possibly happen, right? >> so what we saw the other day after that questioning, we saw that then some of the trump's attorneys have raised some questions about some of these past pose. and it was explored and then those jurors were struck by the judge and then it was the attorneys turned to strike whoever they wanted, for essentially any reason and they would be excuse. now we know that both sides only have four strikes left. so they cannot use them as liberally in these rounds, which will put more of a onus on them looking for
10:06 am
reasons for cause so if they have some concern about any of these jurors and it could mean that we could move pretty quickly. the court is getting ready to break for lunch, so all of that will happen once we've returned from the lunch break, but there is now at least 18 jurors in the box to begin the 2nd important round of getting to see if we can fill the seats we thought we only needed 11. now we need 13. >> boris, it's so important because the strikes that they've already used, you don't get them back because jurors now have not been seated. and these were jurors who had been removed that were essentially the compromise of both the prosecution and the defense. and so now back compromise is gone. somebody they thought was palatable to both. now out times to dropping it down to five, it could be a lot longer yeah. >> and we were impressed by how quickly things were moving along. it seems like we've might've hit a road bumps here. lower codes, kara scannell from outside the courthouse in manhattan. thank you so much. we'll be checking in throughout the day. jessica all right. >> let's bring in former trump white house counsel cnn, legal
10:07 am
commentator jim schult. jim, great to have you here with us. i just want to get your reaction first two now to jurors having been excused and this what what should we make of that? >> look, this is part of the process, right? there's going to be tremendous scrutiny by both sides looking at these potential jurors. and there are gonna be issues that come up and the judge and the lawyers are dealing with it in the normal course, like they do. right? you heard that there was a little bit of a chuckle at at the at the bench with the potential juror and the lawyers related to it there was an issue years ago was stealing yard signs that only that only brings in political implications and maybe where that person stands politically and what they're politically political views are. but also potential crime that or accused of a crime at that point in time. so i think these are all normal issues we're going to see. they could blow through these pretty quickly today, just like they did the other day. get to that magic number 18, but they have a little more work to do. there's a shoeless yours. >> yeah, it's just going to take it's just going to take some time. i'm also curious
10:08 am
your thoughts because one of these jurors was dismissed because they felt too much personal information about them had been released. and we look at the georgia grand jury, some of the members of that grand jury did receive threats later on after their information was revealed should we worry about the safety of this jury look at you're in any criminal criminal prosecution, there's always that kind of understanding that there's some danger associated with that from time to time, especially in high-profile cases where there are issues like this, and especially in this world of social media, where people are getting attacked on social media. >> it's really important to keep the identities of these folks anonymous, if you will. and i think the judge even said to the news media, let's not release the identities, right? let's make sure we're not doing that. right. >> and use this morning that trump's post about quote, liberal activist lying to try to get on the jury violates the gag order that's in place. that 2nd juror was dismissed
10:09 am
after prosecutors said he gave step diff answers. does that give trump's some fodder? i would imagine we're going to hear more about that anytime you have that door opened, that there's any question about the process here and whether politics are at play, and whether we're getting all the information donalds trump's going to seize that moment every day. >> and he's gonna do it all day, every day. i don't i think the gag order is there. i think donald trump's going to violate it day in and day out and probably get admonished by the court de and and day out on those issues. i mean, you already see the michael cohen tweeting away on these issues he's a witness in the case. you don't think donald trump's can respond to michael cohen on those. he's gonna do it every he's a witness in the case. you don't think donald trump's can respond to michael cohen on those. he's gonna do it every single time. >> yeah. and you mentioned the gag order. he's violated it at least seven times, seven times.
10:10 am
now, there's a hearing on it next week what are you expecting? do you think it will become that they will broaden out this gag order? what do you think might happen next in regards to that i think that judges options are there are a ton of options, one of which he can threaten the jail to the defendants case. >> the former president, that's never going to happen. he's not going to put them in jail so it's really a monetary fine admonishment. there's not a whole lot of teeth associated with that. >> and unless the former president really like violates a way, not just responding to michael cohen, but if he's going after jurors in an aggressive way, if he's going after witnesses and intimidating way, i think that's when you'll see the judge really ramp it up and so off today's 96 prospective jurors, half of them were dismissed because they said they could not be fair, could not be impartial if you're trump's defense team, what what does this mean for you? >> and obviously, they've got this in the back of their head. but how are you proceeding?
10:11 am
forward? >> knowing that is the case look, you have to i mean, you take your juror jury pool is you find them and do the best you can to find folks that made a profile that you're looking for, right? >> we talked the other day. the other night about i'm laura show on which jurors were the most interesting. i found the image the? person who came from ireland grew up in ireland, blue-collar type worker some college education in a sales job, watches msnbc and fox. that's kind of like your swing juror or in election terms, your swing voter, those are the folks that you as lawyers, you're looking at and saying how are they reacting to what we're saying? so this is very important. it is new york. obviously there's gonna be a big chunk of people who are not fans of donald trump. but at the same time, people come in and what i've found over the years juries typically regardless of what their political views are, they look at fairness and fundamental fairness, and that's the most important part of this process. >> right? tried to take in the
10:12 am
facts and the arguments. all right. jim scholz, thanks so much appreciate it thank you boris we're just moments away from a significant moment in the 2024 campaign, president biden receiving an endorsement from one of america's most storied political dynasties, the kennedys the biden campaign says more than a dozen members of the extended family are going to be appearing with the president shortly. >> and they're backing biden, even though one of their own is running for president robert kennedy jr. is polling better than all the other third party candidates. and the democratic national committee is concerned that kennedy might play the role of spoiler taking enough votes away from biden to give donald trump the when and the white house come november cnn white house correspondent arlette saenz is at the biden kennedy event in philadelphia arlette give us a preview wellbore as any minute now, we anticipate president biden will walk out on stage behind i
10:13 am
mean, with several members of the kennedy family as more than a dozen kennedy family members are expected to endorse his candidacy. >> today, it comes as president biden is really true trying to harness the legacies of one of the most storied political families in democratic politics. but it also comes, as you mentioned, as robert f. kennedy jr. one of member of the kennedy family is running as that independent candidate and potentially, there are concerns that his candidacy, a third-party candidacy could potentially act as a spoiler heading into november's election. now, the president will be introduced today by kerry kennedy. that is the sister of rfk junior, and she's expected to talk about how she believes president biden really carries on the legacy of her father, robert f. kennedy, and also former president john f. kennedy. and she's expected to talk about the threat that they believed donald trump poses in this election. it's unclear whether she'll actually mentioned her brother, rfk junior by name but our colleague wolf blitzer spoke to her a little bit about
10:14 am
that earlier today and take a listen should you be trying to convince your own brother to drop out? >> so he doesn't necessarily jeopardize your candidate president biden we have a big family and we have discussions. but the thing it's not about my brother bobby today. it's about america it's about freedom, it's about to proceed now several members of the kennedy family in recent months have tried to portray robert f. >> kennedy jr. his candidacy as dangerous. so it's not entirely a surprise that they would be out here endorsing biden today. but of course it is significance since to their own family member is in this race. now, rfk junior or tried to downplay this endorsement today, he said in a statement, quotes, i hear some of my family will be endorsing president biden today. i am
10:15 am
pleased they are politically active. it's a family police tradition. we are divided in our opinions, but united in our love for each other. now, rfk junior did get some welcome news today, if in the state of michigan as the secretary of state's there, said that he would qualify for the ballot in november. that's the first battleground state where we we've learned that kennedy will appear on the ballot in november and now after this events here in philadelphia the president biden, and members of the kennedy family will go on to another organizing event where he will be introduced by joe kennedy, the third, they're expected to make phone calls and knock on doors on behalf of president biden as they've made clear that they want to do everything they can to try to elect him come november number orland science. thank you so much for the update from philadelphia let's talk more about kennedy's impact on 2024 with larry sabato. he's the director of uva centers of the uva center for politics laurie, thanks so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. put this in dortmund into context. it does this dissuade some rfk
10:16 am
leaning voters toward biden well, it may be the start of that for us. >> it's april and i think the kennedy family is making a very significant move here, something that is uncharacteristic of the kennedys, politically over many generations, they've always been very clan ish. they have their pride disagreements, but they come out with a united front, particularly with regard to candidacies coming from within the family but it's very clear that a large majority of the prominent kennedy's who are still active in public life in some fashion feel very strongly that biden should win, but also that their brother represents a real threat and he does via the electoral college to biden's second term so what they're doing is significant. they're going to have to do it again and again and again in various ways. between now and november
10:17 am
because it's hard to reach people and remember, one of rfk juniors, big appeals seems to be too young people. and i can tell you living in the middle of a college campus, there is a lot of appeal for rfk junior in part, i think because they have absolutely no one idea where he stands on anything. it's simply a famous name. it's glitz, its power and they're unhappy with both biden and trump. they're not going to vote for trump. the vast majority of them, but they're disillusion with biden maybe because of gaza and there are other reasons besides so this is a real threat to the biden candidacy and they are taking it that way. >> i want to dig into that idea that a lot of folks support him even though they don't really know his policies all that well but i did want to ask you about the news that our legis brought us that kennedy secured his name on the ballot in michigan
10:18 am
when you look at the electoral map, i think there are a few states that could have quite the impact that michigan can have it sounds like you see him more likely spoiling things for joe biden than you do him potentially playing any role in taking voters away from donald trump in a significant number? >> absolutely. look, there are a handful of anti-vaxxers who may be disillusion with trump the trump family were first in line for the vaccine but they may be for kennedy, but the vast majority of trump voters are much less inclined to vote for for rfk junior, inclined to for for rfk junior, particularly after they learn about some of his other views, that are democrats, particularly minority democrats and young a young people in the democratic party and without a large percentage of the youth vote and a very large percentage of the minority vote. i don't think biden can win. you mentioned michigan. he could easily beyond the ballot
10:19 am
and seems to be moving in that direction in arizona and nevada and in a number of other swing states, there are only seven or eight of them really, if he's just on the swing state ballots, he may well get enough votes to deny biden the second term. this is serious business it's interesting to see that the kennedys early on have recognized this. >> yeah, o'leary, we have to leave the conversation there. we appreciate your joining us. i do want to remind our viewers about your book on the kennedy family, the kennedy half century, the presidency assassination and lasting legacy of john f. kennedy, leiria thanks for being with us thank you, boris. of course. still have this hour on cnn news central, not only that big endorsement coming from the kennedy family, but also drama on capitol for hill, house speaker mike johnson facing growing threats days leadership. as some republicans have devised a plan to save his job, what they're urging him to do and how it could put in

10:25 am
hardliners surrounded john something on the chamber floor, essentially petting him against a wall. all that playing out as johnson's foreign aid bills face a critical test today, the house rules committee is weighing whether to bring that package to the floor for a vote. johnson says he's moving forward with his plans to put a series of aid bills on the floor saturday, and that does include 1 billion for ukraine. he then plans to tie them together in one big package and send that over to the senate for final approval. but that is not sitting well with the number of far-right republicans who are threatening to boot him over their opposition to sending more aid to you crane, let's go to capitol hill now with cnn's lauren fox lauren, this continues to develop really by the minute today, what's the latest right now yeah, all eyes are on that very important house rules committee meeting. this is typically the first step, jessica, and it usually doesn't get that much attention because it it's not typically this controversial, but in this congress with this republican majority, the rules
10:26 am
and what happens to them are very important here. and that is because there are a number of republicans on that committee who have already said that they will not support the rule moving forward, that means the democrats are going to have to help in some way if this package is going going to advance. now, democrats have made clear that they do view this ukraine package. israel package, taiwan package as essential to not just the us but globally security. and that they want to take some steps, but precisely what that looks like still has yet to unfold. meanwhile, there are also questions on whether or not changes to what is known as the motion to vacate. that is the step to try to oust the speaker, whether there will be changes to how many republicans specifically able to bring that to the floor right now, it just takes a single member. >> could that change? >> that is something we're also keeping an eye on in the rules committee, and that could have an impact on john instance future that's because there are a number of hardliners who
10:27 am
when they surrounded johnson on the floor and made clear to him that that could be a difference maker when it comes as to whether or not they would vote to try to get him out of the job. here's what they said my home was that the motion to vacate would be an elixir that only required one dose, right? >> for effectiveness but sometimes there are some therapies that require more than one dose. and i hope that's not the case with the motion to vacate, but will administer the elixir as many times. as is necessary to save the country, changing the threshold for the motion to vacate. >> that's been my red line this entire congress, i told him there's nothing that will get you to a motion to vacate faster than changing the threshold and once again, if there is an effort to try to oust johnson, all eyes are going to be the on democrats. >> that is because they would likely be needed to save him. jessica, obviously that complicates johnson's future. it complicates whether or not
10:28 am
he could remain an effective republican can speaker, especially in an election year with a majority at stake, all these questions have yet to unfold. jessica. >> yeah, much more to come on. this lauren fox with the absolute latest thanks so much for us. >> let's discuss further now with democratic congressmen, raja krishnamoorthi of illinois. he serves on the house intelligence committee congressman, thanks so much for being with us following the caucus meeting, the democrats had this morning would you say that there's a more cohesive strategy for how your party is going to approach the effort to potentially vacate speaker johnson no i wouldn't say that. i would say that there's a lot of support for the underlying bills. i think those are vital. >> whether it's a ukraine legislation or the legislation for indo-pacific defenses, or even the legislation containing a bill that i coauthored, ruth regard to tiktok. >> with regard to mr. johnson he hopefully we'll do the right thing. bring these to the
10:29 am
floor, bring them for a vote successfully. and i think he'll be in good shape will congressmen doing the right? >> the thing in your eyes could cost him his job and he would need help from democrats like you to keep his job so are you willing to put it out there? he would back him if that motion to vacate moves forward if these bills were delivered favorably and the aid was favorably vote upon. >> and marjorie taylor greene went up there with emotion to remove him, for instance, i think there's gonna be a lot of democrats that move to kill that motion they don't want to see him getting punished for doing the right thing. as someone said the other day, this is a chamberlain or churchill moment. >> and if he ends up being the churchill and stands up to a great pressure around the world. >> i think he'll be rewarded. >> he has been lobbied by members of his own party to include in this package of foreign aid bills language that would change the structure of
10:30 am
the motion to vacate the threshold to make it harder to remove him he seems open to it from the sounds of it. some republicans are wanting to vacate him for that would a change to the rules at all? prevent you from voting for the aid package no, not necessarily. >> but i want to see what the rules package is. sure. i think they're literally deliberate as we speak. and again, i think the underlying bills need to be brought to the floor for a vote and consideration with regard to the the other issues, those arcane technical issues again, i'm hopeful that we can come to an understanding on that as well some of your colleagues have been critical specifically of that portion of the bill that that you helped to author regarding the force divestiture of tiktok are you concerned? >> turned it all that there might be blowback toward you or your party for moving forward
10:31 am
with that no, i think this is doing the right thing. >> hey, again, as we illustrated before, when 352 house members, including the vast majority of the democratic caucus voted for this bill. it's not a ban. it's a divestiture and it's really not about tiktok, it's about bytedance, which is ultimately controlled by the chinese communist party. and further publish reports since we actually pass that bill, have illustrated a number of things that give legislators even more pause, such as for instance, the fact that the bytedance parent company use just user data of americans against them in surveilling them. and also that the use data that was supposedly off limits to chinese plays a bytedance are routinely accessed by those employees. again another misrepresentation by the
10:32 am
company. so i think i'm feeling good about this vote as well congressman, i want to zero in on the portion that entails aid to israel. >> obviously, we haven't seen the text of the bill or the details therein and how is finalized what i'm curious about potential restrictions to aid predicated on the we're that israel handles the war in gaza. there's been a lot of criticism even from the president himself over recent developments in gaza based on the idf's handling of aden workers, for instance, and accidental strike against world central kitchen aid workers do you think that something needs to be in the bill that acts, as a kind of restriction to ensure that the idf is following international law, or at least a mechanism to have the united states observe that aspect of the war more critically well, one thing that the white house did before these bills were
10:33 am
actually issued as built texts, was they issued a memorandum called national security memorandum 20 and this memorandum set forth the existing conditions in under which arms transfers to israel and other countries will be made are and have been made and they have to certify that those conditions are met going forward. >> and so i think that this aid will be subject to those conditions being met. whether it's in accordance with humanitarian international humanitarian law, but also the, the laws of war. and so that's something that we are all going to be focused on as well congressman raja for some more thing you thank you so much for the time. >> i appreciate you being with us hey, thank you so much, boris. of course. still ahead on cnn news central, half of today's perspective, jurors have already been eliminated in the donald trump hush money case in manhattan. and two out of the seven jurors would already been seeded, have now
10:34 am
been excused the latest on his hush money case when we come back the, fight against climate change. >> this is new car business blue carbon. we just need to protect nature will do the rest. >> corbyn cnn, field sunday at nine my neck. >> i can move it both ways. >> mattress firm had so many incredible options at every price. i can look this way. now pardon that the right mattress matters. >> will find yours mattress firm start your. >> day with nature me. >> the number one foreign cells. a quick commercial break. we want to take you straight to philadelphia, where the kennedy family is just taking the stage. they are endorsing president biden and his run for reelection and shunning one of their own, even as rfk juniors running for the
10:35 am
white house the kennedy family for the majority of them are backing biden let's take a moment to listen in thank you john, for those inspiring words my name is kerry kennedy, and in this seventh child of robert e and f. >> kennedy i'm stronger than vinyl. >> so you're getting a window that will really last. >> now, this is innovation. you have a feature on your windows that allows for a better view are truces and with my you hear president joe biden president biden has said very movingly that his long career in public
10:36 am
service was prompted by his speech my father robert kennedy gave in indianapolis on april 4, 1968. the night martin luther king was murdered two days later, alone with my parents and siblings i sat in the den of our home and northern virginia and watched in horror as washington burned daddy room and he gotten his car maybe 15 minutes later we were all still glued to the tv and suddenly daddy was on the news in the midst of the medium, trying to put out the flames of loss and pain, fear and rage in the wake of dr. king's death that was an incredible lesson to me as an eight-year-old child, he showed us that when everyone else is running away from the flames the anguish and despair leaders
10:37 am
run towards them and that's who joe biden is he is sitting president in our history, who has traveled to an active border zone. now let andre us control, not once, but twice to show support for our allies. he was always running into the flames so we don't have to every imaginable way president biden has spent his presidency and his career running into the flames for working people, for moms, dads, families. he supports unions a passion of my father's. he marched with the united auto workers during their righteous strike which helped bring that strike to a swift thank you.
10:38 am
>> joe biden look for teachers nurses, truck drivers, gig workers. he has been tireless on leaving the debt incurred by middle and working class kids, trying to get ahead by getting an education. thank you. joe biden he passed the infrastructure bill. he builds bridges. he has made the working american the hero of every story. thank you. joe biden thank god inflation under control. and violent crime is down in america under joe biden's leadership he has us thriving a gun, but leaving again, behaving leg good neighbors again he stepped into the blame sub chaos and turned it into community thank you.
10:39 am
joe biden we want to make crystal clear or feeling got the best way forward for america is to reelect joe biden and kamala harris two, four more years years war here president biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father, an uncle, stood for. for that's why nearly every single grandchild of joe and rose kennedy supports joe biden
10:40 am
