tv   Erin Burnett Out Front  CNN  May 21, 2024 1:00am-2:00am PDT

1:00 am
she's lovely lady joey was my assistant my right hand for more than a dozen years at cnn and he was great at it but working with me, that was just his side hustle as his friend monica lynch said recently, joey had a lot of hustle and his bustle. >> joey was all about music. that's him in 1982 in the mail room at tommy boy records. he started their packing lps and ended up producing them he played a huge role in the latin freestyle movement and it helped a lot of musicians make hits a few years ago, he started his own label fly groove, and was making new music right up until the end joey got knocked down more than once in his life, but he always got up and always moved forward in her poem, summer de mary oliver, ask, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? well joey pin taro did a lot with his and he touched a lot of people
1:01 am
along the way he loved his family, his partner, eddie, he loved his friends and we loved him in return. we will miss you, joey. we will not forget you the news continues right here on cnn outfront. >> next we begin with breaking news, the face off and drama and the trump trial as the judge scolds the defense witness clears the courtroom. this is michael cohen makes a major admission. >> did he recover and he's one of the only american doctors left in gaza here. >> why the doctor who is credited with saving senator tammy duckworth's life in iraq, says this conflict is worse than anything he has ever seen plus breaking news, bannon just responding to the doj's request he starts his prison sentence. is trump's onetime right-hand man, about to go to jail. it's cloudfront good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. are you staring me
1:02 am
down right now? >> an explosive clash between the judge in trump's hush money trial and one of the only defense witnesses the judge, even at one moment yelling clear the courtroom, tensions had been building as robert costello, a lawyer who once advised michael cohen, started making remarks like gs and ridiculous when an objection was raised, one point, expressing his disdain and exasperated by making a blowing raspberries sound after a series of sustained objection because and it got so out of hand that the judge reprimanded costello. >> judge more sean's saying, quote, mr. costello, i'd like to discuss proper decorum and my courtroom as a witness on the stand, if you don't like my ruling, you don't say, jeez. and then you don't say strike it because i'm the only one who can strike testimony and the court, if you don't like my ruling you don't give me sayyed or roll your eyes well, casella said he understood at that point, people in the room say costello was staring at merchan causing the judge to erupt. are you staring me down it out of
1:03 am
the courtroom and the room quickly cleared so that merchan could dress down costello trump, after leaving later, spoke about it after the court you so what happened to a highly respected lawyers bob costello i've never, seen anything like that i understand it was a stunning moment in an historic trial that is quickly winding down the prosecution has rested. the defense is expected to wrap up tomorrow, but not before scoring. what might have been a major win today michael cohen admitting while on the stand that he stole at least $30,000 from the trump org park money that was supposed to go to a tech company called red finch. so let me just share the exchange with you because trump's attorney todd blanche asks cohen, you were shorted $100,000 on your bonus that year. cohen responds that's correct. and then blanche says, so the $50,000 that you got to pay read finch, you only paid the red finch owner $20,000? right cohen? >> yes, sir. blanche so you
1:04 am
stole from the trump organization cohen? >> yes, sir and as the trial nears its end, trump making the most of that moment. >> and today making the most of every moment, he still has left in that courtroom, he was surrounded by a group of people who have been charged or convicted of crimes, including chuck z2, a former leader the house angels motorcycle gang, who did time for drug charges. trump legal advisor boris step who has been indicted in arizona for trying to overturn the election and ben omnipresent in that courtroom. >> and former nypd commissioner commissioner bernard qarrah, who spent time in prison for tax-related charges. paula reid is outfront, live outside the new york courthouse to begin our coverage. >> for tonight. and paula, i know you reached out to costello for response to his testimony today because it was so heated inside that room. what did you get well, he declined to comment to cnn, erin. >> now of course, the judge asked him specifically not to talk about the case so even after that, rakus testimony, he is at least following up and following through on that directive from the judge.
1:05 am
>> but as we've reported, look, there has been some disagree he met within trump's legal team about whether it was a good idea to put costello on the stand and after what we saw today it's not clear if he did much to help the defendant's case the prosecution rests on day 19 of the trump hush money trial, ending four days of dramatic testimony from star witness, michael cohen, trump attorney todd blanche, last week painted cohen as a liar out for revenge. >> under further cross-examination monday, he got trump's former fixer to admit to stealing from the trump organization. blanche focused on a payment cohen organized to tech company red finch to help create an algorithm that would boost trump in a cnbc poll handwritten notes show cohen was reimbursed $50,000 for that work, but cohen testified he only paid the company $20,000 in a brown paper bag. you only paid the red finch owner
1:06 am
$20,000, right? blanche asked yes, sir. cohen replied. so you stole from the trump organization. blanche asked. yes, sir. cohen confirmed prosecutors then got a chance to clean up their case with cohen on redirect i know it may feel like you're on trial here after cross-examination, but are you actually on trial, prosecutor susan hoffinger asked no, ma'am. cohen replied. cohen was the only witness called by the prosecution who directly implicated trump for allegedly falsifying business records over 17 hours of testimony, cohen provided some helpful evidence for prosecutors, including testifying last week that he spoke with trump twice to get his sign off before making the payment to stormy daniel's on may 13th, he testified everything required mr. trump's sign-off on top of that, i wanted the money back on may 16. trump attorneys later called into question a key phone call, cohen had said
1:07 am
he had with trump bodyguard keith schiller, who then pass the phone to trump, were cohen had testified that he told trump how he planned to pay daniels on may 16, blanche press cohen saying that was a lie. you did not talk to president trump. you talked to keith schiller. you can admit it. no, sir. i don't know that it's accurate. cohen responded, i believe i also spoke to mr. trump and told him everything regarding the stormy daniels matter we are not asking for your belief. the jury does not want to hear what you think happened. blanche shot back that exchange, one of the most successful moments for the trump defense today on redirect, prosecutors tried to sure. up cohen's account, entering into evidence a screenshot of this video captured minutes before the 2016 phone call showing schiller and trump together, prosecutors concluded their redirect of michael cohen by
1:08 am
asking, would you have paid stormy daniels the $130,000 had mr. trump not signed off? no, ma'am. cohen replied costello? >> we'll be back on the stand tomorrow morning and then both sides have said they will be done with their case, which suggests the former president does not intend to take the stand, then the jury will be dismissed for a whole week before coming back to here closings and then begin this historic deliberations. erin all paula, thank you very much. and our experts were all here with me now. >> all right. so i want to talk about a couple of crucial moments in the court. but first, just the drama terry, the defense, they only have one very quick witness and then costello and we're what was it like how did he act in all my years of practice, over 30 plus, i've never seen a moment like this the witness said, jeez, and ridiculous and response to some of the objections that were being sustained. and the first thing
1:09 am
that judge said and this was in front of the jury was excuse me. excuse me. >> and everybody fell quiet because i've never heard the judge say anything like that that's when he excused the jury. that's when he said to costello i want to talk to about decorum in my courtroom. you don't say jeez, you don't give me the sayyed. and we were sitting there and that's when the judge said, are you staring me down and he cleared the courtroom. >> there was so much confusion, aaron, we didn't know what to do. and the security guards were saying get up, get out, and some of a sad fair. >> the courtroom meant everybody, all the journalists as well correct? i mean, is this an unprecedented sort of thing lawyer to see? >> it's in prison thing for a lawyer to see and it's an unprecedented thing for a lawyer to behave. i mean, this man's lawyer, where's former prosecutor? yeah. yeah. so for him to do that in such a high stakes trial in which he's basically it for the defense witnesses. we don't know of any others coming it's
1:10 am
absolutely remarkable and it's also remarkable because he needs credibility and if anything, i think he actually paints a pretty positive picture from michael cohen because michael cohen's testimony is, i didn't trust this person i didn't like this person and i certainly wasn't going to tell this person, mr. costello the secrets that i had about trump, and that seems pretty consistent with who we now see at least in this moment. because silhouettes, so arlo, i mean, you know, todd, blanche, and obviously he's obviously trump's intimately involved, but todd blanche is the one making the decision. >> who's on the gonna be on the stand? yeah. the options of who we could put to mount a defense was costello the right choice i mean, so far i'd have to say putting on defense case at all seems like a mistake because this is the end and a lot of times defense lawyers don't do that, right? >> and they don't do it because they then get to go to summation and they say it's not our job to put on a case they have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and they haven't. and the judge backs them up. the judge says, ladies and gentlemen, that's right. but if you do put on a defense
1:11 am
case, you get the same instruction from the judge but there's just something the jury's now heard. the defense case. there are sizing the defense up and then they go, wait. >> this one was this big and this one was this big, right? >> right. and so you have to have something and this one didn't seem to have enough and maybe even hurt them. >> so how how did costello goh over with the jury you know, that's the open question, erin? >> it is, but i would not believe he went over well, right. it's a trials are about human interactions thereabout narratives about telling your story. and you have to pick the vehicles to tell that story. and having a person like this who apparently had an ax to grind, whose glaring who's engaged in completely inappropriate decorum, rolling and making noises of disgust absolutely stick to the merits of the case. >> if your issue is listen, cohen said to me the trump absolutely didn't make any type of was aware of any type of payments, certainly didn't make a know anything about it. i had nothing on trump's stick to that. do it in a way that's courteous. do it in a way that's professional, do it in a way that's relatable to the
1:12 am
extent you don't do that can really cost your client. >> i mean, he was trying hi to say basically that he had kind of cohen and asked, do you have anything on trump du have anything on trump? and cohen said left, right, and center. i have nothing. and that was a point costello was trying to make when you watch the totality of it today though, you watched when you're looking at the jury did they i mean, i know they send their they pay such careful attention. they don't generally show emotion did they show their hand on this? when i watched it, i think they were more alert and into because castello is a character just like cohen is a character, and just like stormy was a character, they were definitely on the end of their seat now, i think that the point was cohen told me castello said that trump had nothing to do with this, that he wasn't involved in the payment. i believe the jury understands that that was what cohen said then because he was still defending trump. that doesn't mean that's what he feels now and he has basically said he has a change of two. all right. so a couple of other
1:13 am
things. one thing this is being treated as the big admission as i laid out that michael cohen admitted to stealing money from the trump organization that he was supposed to repay this tech company $50,000. you only repaid 20 and he admits to sealing the 30,000. todd blanche blanche gets him to do that very clearly today, but it's interesting, ryan oh, yvonne, i'm pulling it up because may 13. so we could go he admits to doing this in a different way. it was under direct, so it's sort of did you why did you do it? because that's what was owed and i didn't feel mr. trump deserve the benefit of the difference. right. so it's sort of a motive, but it was it was presented differently today. >> was it a bombshell as some are saying? >> it or not? >> i don't think there's big of a bunch part because the prosecutors did draw it out initially, so it's not like oh, the prosecutors were hiding this from you and now you're hearing something new to the jurors, right? rather, the prosecutors were ready, head michael cohen at mit that he stole this money, that exact amount from the exact company and the exact relationships. so that's one part of it. yeah. second is also so kinda
1:14 am
consistent with who we know michael cohen to be at this point, what hope hicks said, he's not the kind of guy that would spend 130,000 of his own dollars and not tell the boss he would only do that if can you it's going to be reimbursed. so that's the same kind of character that's stealing $10,000 in this exchange at the same time, i do think the defense can make something other and they surely will. and their closing summation, they will say, look at this person, he is not a loyal person who's only getting authority from trump. he's stealing from trump. >> he's doing things behind his back. he's rogue, and trump doesn't even know about it at the time. that's their theory of the case. >> and there's now week. and when they're going to be in tomorrow, right now if they wanted, right. they could have done their closing arguments and deliberated a couple of days as we can maybe been done, but that's not how it's going to go because they have wednesdays off and so it's gonna be a full week where they hear all this and they peace out for a week and then they come back and get closing who. benefits from that? >> i mean, i generally think the party that benefits is the one that has the stronger story to tell, because all of this
1:15 am
trees and chaos of the last few days they become a forest as the jury gets a little moment in time and ultimately, i think the prosecution will spend its time trying to put together the best pieces of evidence and testimony to match their story. >> and they have i think a story that's pretty plausible that whether the jury accepts are true. >> i don't know, but that trump was worried about the election michael cohen was the kind of guy who would fix these things. and i'm not sure the defense has they have reasonable doubt arguments, but i'm not sure they've really offered how much pressure is on then tomorrow four, you've got to finish gsa. you've got redirect, you've got you've got things to happen, but then you have this week off. so how important is it? yeah, it's very important, aaron, just to sort of crystallized the arguments to get them organized for closing and to deliver what is your narrative? >> and i think the prosecution will spend a lot of time on the defense wants to talk about this one phone all they want to talk about that. let me focus. you want all the things which would suggest that the president knew exactly what this was all about. and here
1:16 am
they all, but boom and so i think the prosecutors will lay out in pretty organized fashion all of the reason and the basis that donald trump was aware of the reimbursement orchestrator, the reimbursement was in on everything involved one thing that you don't only have the credit cohen for that disregard him. but look at all the other things which would suggest last point, aaron and that is the jury will be instructed that they can make reasonable inferences. write that is using your common sense and good judgment may be cohen is the one that directly ties trump. let's talk about ladies and gentlemen, all the things that indirectly tie him, right? so i think they'll focus on that big week ahead in terms of organization preparation and planning. and we'll see how they laid out come tuesday, see if there's a beyond a reasonable doubt. all right. thank you. all. next, iran pointing the finger at the united states after that helicopter crash kills the iranian president and foreign minister. but i spoke with in an exclusive interview just a month ago has a special report from inside gaza. >> speak to one of the few american doctors who is refusing to leave. he is working in a hospital bordering

1:22 am
site to determine what caused the helicopter to go down, killing all nine people on board, including iran's foreign minister, whom i spoke to in an exclusive interview, almost exactly a month ago today. >> the night that israel had attacked iran in response to the iranian massive attack on israeli soil. >> fred pleitgen, who is reported extensively from iran, is outfront tonight hey, to cope, didn't parts a little bit ron's presidential helicopter completely destroyed after crashing into a mountain in the remote north of the country dense fog, frigid conditions, making the recovery efforts even harder. president ebrahim raisi, along with foreign minister hossein amir abdollahian and seven others were killed in the crash rescuers, having to carry the bodies away through the rugged terrain but can you let it go? >> a cnn turk journalists showing how challenging the conditions are? how do you call
1:23 am
this place is a very difficult terrain with dense trees, deep valleys, and steep mountains. >> they didn't. >> we can say that this is the most challenging terrain of iran raisi inaugurated a dam with the president of azerbaijan and was traveling to nearby hi to the chopper, a decades old american made belle 212, a model developed for the canadian military in the 1960s. >> the chopper crashed in poor visibility. iran, under heavy sanctions, has been unable to acquire more modern helicopters president ebrahim region you see, was rumored to be a possible successor to iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, who's at four years old as the chopper went missing, the supreme leader taking the reins, chairing a meeting of iran security council, and vowing the country's government will continue to work. >> what's grand version? >> be assured that there will be no disruption in the country's affairs black flags
1:24 am
have been hoisted across iran as the country's leadership has ordered five days of mourning, canceling most public events also deeply mourning the country's foreign minister hossein amir abdollahian, who was instrumental in the past months as iran and israel came to the brink of full-on war and traded missile strikes abdollahian also challenging the us in a recent interview on cnn's outfront with erin burnett, brynn has that amount recover yet? i do think that america must pay closer attention and focus on the adventure seeking regime in israel. so there's such a crisis will not happen in gaza because netanyahu showed he will not respect any off the red lines around has launched an investigation into the crash that killed two key figures of the islamic republic's leadership. while vowing that the nation will carry on i was our fred pleitgen reporting out
1:25 am
front now, karim sadjadpour, a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace and cream. >> when i spoke to the foreign minister, almost exactly a month ago in that exclusive interview, he called the iranian attack inside israel, a quote, clear message to the zionist regime. and then he went on to say this in tastes israeli regime a embarks on adventurism again and takes action against the interests of iran. >> full, the next response from us will be immediate and at a maximum level it will be decisive hardline view, but does his death and the death of the president of iran. >> what does it mean cream do, do the hard liners become even more emboldened now? >> you know, erin, i don't think the foreign ministers death is that consequential
1:26 am
president raisi's death is not consequential in the immediate term. and that he wasn't iran's most powerful man. he didn't really have much say over iran's regional conduct, its nuclear ambitions. but rice's death is very consequential for iran's future because he was thought to be one of only two serious contenders to replace the supreme leader, ayatollah harmony and ayatollah khomeini is 85 years old the other person thought to be it's serious contenders, harmony sun, much stable harmony. so this really calls into question how easily the regime is going to be able to transition politically transition and a post harmony, iran. >> well, when you talk about the supreme leader, that there there, as you see it, perhaps that too serious contenders, one of whom died on that helicopter crash, the other is the son of the current supreme leader. it does raise questions and iranian officials, they've said it was a hard landing. they called it a a crash
1:27 am
landing. hard landing at first, bad weather, foggy conditions, but i know you say few in iran are likely to believe it was an accident aaron philosophy, there's the concept of occam's razor, which is that usually the simplest explanation is the most plausible one in this case, you had an old helicopter flying through very difficult terrain and very difficult weather. >> but i think few iranians will probably be believe that official story when you're living under a dictatorship, you, you come to question everything that, that dictatorship tells you so there's a lot of, i'm sure theories out there whether it was the supreme leader and the revolutionary guards who may have engineer this or whether israel had a role in it but i doubt that many iranians will are going to believe that official explanation. all right. karim, thank you very much. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. came sacha as i said, next to a special report
1:28 am
from inside gaza, i talked to one of the few remaining american doctors still there, a doctor who actually save the life, us senator for tammy duckworth when she was in iraq. >> tonight, he says gaza is worse and breaking news, we now know why sean diddy combs did not mention his former girlfriends name when he apologize publicly for assaulting her in that horrific video comes former assistant is outfront tonight riyadh says new album is breaking records partisans of country music scene. his is, are nodding country. >> this is not like, oh black people are getting into now, not like we've been in country music gets what country is what the south is about. calling me country bianna, say a nashville's renaissance monday, that aid on cnn home

1:34 am
>> he's also a former us army combat trauma surgeon who worked in iraq and dr. hamawy i so much appreciate your taking the time. i know the power situation is obviously very volatile where you are, you're in khan, younis working at a hospital. they're bordering rafah. i know you've been in gaza now for nearly three weeks what are you seeing i'm seeing the patients at this point are getting a little bit less because they're moving farther and farther away from us. >> we're still getting trauma from the people that are getting a hurt, where we're at. >> so like the location close to the hospital, which there's still bombings, there's one that just happened right when we started talking and besides that, like the people in rafat themselves of a primarily moved to the shore. they're trying to get away. and it's difficult for them to get to us because of the roads and the danger
1:35 am
zones and had to travel through. so we're taking your trauma, but people are shifting away and the trauma patients that you see what can you tell us about them? >> i mean are you seeing children who is coming in? >> so it is primarily children. it's still the majority, i would say more than half. we are seeing really people people that are coming in that are regular folks that our either a sleeping in her home, there's or we're playing outside is a bunch of kids or we're just going about their day and they get hit with an airstrike that comes out of nowhere. they usually say they didn't know it was coming. they usually say, if you hear it coming, that it's not for you. i mean, that's something that's been said multiple times. times since i've been here is because you could, you know, i've been close enough now here and i've heard in the past when you can, can you hear the whistling sound as it comes down nearby? but when it comes
1:36 am

1:46 am
and he came out, he was responded in an apology video. so you know, and well, when you watch that video do you believe him? >> no. >> i didn't believe him when he denied the allegations and i don't believe that there's real contrition there. >> obviously, i'm not in the man's head, but knowing him and knowing her and having worked for him my feeling was that it was just all about him. it was his worst de it was his unlike you should, the lowest point, the lowest point. you know what? i think she reached a much lower point being beat by him. right so it just was about him and i think that's probably emblematic of a larger problem so let me play a little bit more from the apology. >> i'm one part one thing that he said, so here it is, susie committed to be a better manager and every day not asking for forgiveness? >> sorry so here's what i'm i
1:47 am
i'm trying to understand when you hear that and wonder what you hear elizabeth reporting write that he had he had the tapes, they were appears they were in his house and likely were seized when agents came in to see. >> so in other words, he he bought the tape from the hotel, right? for $50,000. >> so he knew that this existed, but he didn't apologize until somehow it came out. >> yes. shocking. right. it's like you didn't apologize. you actually did the opposite apologize, which is that he disparaged her. be submerged her name and called her a liar and said she was out for a payday they're right. so what i think happening having worked in the inner circle and worked for other powerful people, i think that he is surrounded by a lot of people who say yes, a lot of yes, men. and i think it shows in the bad decisions that he's made from disparaging. or lying on her, right? i think it's a pretty bad look there are people who are in in
1:48 am
acquiring the tapes. other people around him who would have known his behavior, right? >> i mean, you're saying you did not know obviously at the time, but there it would seem there were people who did. i mean, it would seem because that men did not travel loan, right? >> i did logistics for him. i booked his stylists and i booked everybody for him and he ran with a really large squad. so certainly there was people around this didn't happen alone, and that goes back to what i was saying of like you're surrounded by a bunch of people and i don't think he appreciated people stating their opinions. and i think this is right you end up in an echo chamber, so you spent a lot of time both with him, but also as you mentioned, you knew cassie ventura parties riding and limos, right? i mean, you saw them together. now, obviously, you didn't witness the abuse yourself, but then when the video came out, i know you've said you weren't surprised, so that's sort of thing started to fit together in your head, right? do you expect? now when you look back on things that they saw with the knowledge of this video, do expect more to come out too
1:49 am
good question. >> i don't know what else we would need to come out to finally, have currently, we know what happened in this case, but i guess what i'm asking is, do you think that more women suffered at his course? i do. i do. i don't have any direct knowledge of that, of course, but there's been lawsuits and by the way, it's not just women from what we're hearing and reading as well. it seems that maybe there were other victims as well so i do expect probably more to come out all right. >> well, suzy, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. and it's going to be incredibly sobering when you work for someone and you know them and then you realize we have what you didn't know so thanks very much. >> thank you. >> and we want to know our viewers. we want you all to know that if anyone you know, is struggling with domestic violence, the national domestic violence hotline is one safe and outfront. next, breaking news. steve bannon just responding to the justice department's request that he report to prison immediately. so is he about to imminently find himself behind bars and
