how alice was. she was smart and savvy, but also kind to everybody she met a rarity here in washington. alice was also a person of principle, deeply conservative. alice was upfront about our criticism of donald trump, and she did not back down when she thought she was right. she became a fixture on my weekend show, paired with the wonderful maria cardona and they debuted on my first week de show back in february allison maria could disagree, yes. but without being disagreeable back in 2019, alice invited me up to harvard where she had a fellowship to talk to the students there there was one pro trump student who is giving me a hard time at this event after the event, alice told me i was being too nice to the guy and that she would have let him have it it was just her way of letting me know i did just fine. alice was always caring, always looking out for others. when she walked out on set, alice would have a big, bright smile on her face, eager to start mixing it up on whatever the political news of
8:01 am
the day might be i imagine alice looking down on all of us, right? now from that big roundtable in the sky, making your case with a smile and a kind word. yes, alice has views might not have aligned with yours, but we need more alice's in the world, not fewer, no need to figure out how to settle debates without tearing each other apart, we need that alice knew that and that's why we are grateful for her, grateful for her legacy. and that will stay with us in the days and weeks and years to come. alice, we love you we miss you theory is various
8:02 am
countries that announced plans to formally recognize a paleinian state and the trump classified documents case is clearly heating up right now, happening right now. >> indeed, the judges holding the first hearing, since delaying the trial, and it comes as new photos show trump's personal aide moving boxes around mar-a-lago and happy to be alive. that's what a passenger on that term. million singapore airlines flight told reporters before leaving the hospital, we have new details on what happened and why. hello. i'm wolf blitzer in washington and year in the cnn newsroom right now federal judges considering whether to dismiss some of the criminal charges against former president donald trump along with his co-defendants, the former president stands accused of retaining highly classified documents after leaving office. last night and unsealed opinion from another federal judge
8:03 am
reveal that trump's attorneys found additional documents in his bedroom four months after the fbi's mar-a-lago raid and take a look at this here in new footage there's new footage from the department of justice. a trump a to seen moving boxes just days before trump's lawyers searched his florida residents cnn senior justice correspondent evan perez is outside the courthouse wolf, right now at the federal court here behind me, judge aileen cannon is here, is having one of two hearings motions by former president trump and his co-defendants seeking to dismiss the charges walt nauta, the former president's aid at still employed by hi the former president and one of the co-defendants is asking for charges against him obstruction mostly to be tossed because he says this is a vindictive prosecution by the government in the case of the former president and the other co-defendants, they're asking
8:04 am
for evidence to be suppressed, to be tossed from this case. >> donald trump says that evidence from the fbi search should be removed because of mistakes that they say occurred on the part of the government as well as suppressing testimony from evan corcoran, former lawyer for the former president, and he's the one that received the subpoenas from the government seeking to turn over these documents. he classified documents. there were being stored at mar-a-lago. now ahead of the hearing, we saw hundreds of pages of documents released as part of this case, and it really explains a lot of the behind the scenes machinations, a lot of the fighting that was going on and why a judge in washington rule that evan corcoran, the former lawyer for the president, for the form for president, why he needed to provide testimony and documents. very unusual for a lawyer to be forced to essentially testify against his own client one of the things that we saw in these documents for the first so we saw these images of walt nauta moving
8:05 am
boxes after that subpoena had been received. again, according to the government, trying to conceal documents, we also saw evidence according to the government that the former president had documents, classified documents in his bedroom, and in an officer at mar-a-lago months after that extraordinary fbi's search. here's what judge beryl howell said to explain why she required evan corcoran to provide evidence against his own his own client. she said that the government has proffered sufficient evidence that the former president used personally 18. that's evan corcoran as a front man to obstruct the investigation. again, that hearing is still underway today, and one of the things we're waiting for wolf at this point is whether we might get a new trial date from judge aileen cannon we'll wait and see what happens. evan, thanks for that report. i want to turn now to the very bold move by three european
8:06 am
countries in the midst of the israel-hamas war. norway, ireland, and spain have made a landmark announcement that they will formally recognize palestinian statehood in the next few days. listen next tuesday on the 28th, spain will approve his council of ministers, the recognition of the state of palestine. >> this is an investment in the only solution that can bring lasting peace in the middle east it is a strong call to other countries for to need to do the same as we are doing today in the lead up to today's announcement i've spoken with a number of other leaders and counterparts and i'm confident that further countries will join us. and taking this important step in the coming weeks meanwhile, prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel, as strongly denying allegations that he's starving palestinians in gaza as a method of war. >> he blasted the charges brought by the international criminal court in an interview
8:07 am
with my colleague, jake tapper there are regis there are beyond outrageous and the first fall symmetry is he equates the democratically elected leaders of israel with the terrorists, tyrants of hamas. >> that's like saying that, well, i'm issuing arrest warrants for fdr churchill, but also for hitler or i'm issuing yeah, arrest warrants for george bush. george w bush, but also for been lauded whatever again, democratic congressman jared moskowitz, a florida serves on the house foreign affairs committee. >> a congressman. thanks so much for joining us says no, the white house responded to this announcement from those three european countries that they will sue recognize palestinian statehood, saying, and i'm quoting the president's, the white house now, the president is so strong supporter of a two-state solution and has been throughout his career, he believes a palestinian state should be realized through direct negotiations between the parties, not through unilateral
8:08 am
recognition. congressman, do you agree with the biden administration's position, right now well, thanks. >> well, thanks for having me. yes. no, i agree with president biden and that's always been the position. first of all, these latest announcements or nothing new, there is already 140 countries that have gone out and unilaterally are recognized a palestinian state. i mean, there is no palestinian state. i am for two-state solution. i think there should be a palestinian state, but it's only going to come with direct negotiations. let's not forget a little bit of history here, which is we tried to create a palestinian you've stayed in the 90s. remember, president clinton worked on that, offered east jerusalem right of return, 95% of the west bank and the palestinian said no, and that led to the intifada so this is only going to happen through a direct negotiation between the israelis the palestinians, when they get new leadership with the united states at the table to make it happen. and i hope one day it does happen. but this move actually is going to hurt the palestinians. norway was involved in making sure the dollars that are collected
8:09 am
through taxes from the palestinians go through norway to get back to the palestinian authority now that norway has made this move, israel as pulled back there and vascular now, norway hello longer be a partner. so this move actually doesn't get as closer to peace. it gets us further away us secretary of state antony blinken to congress yesterday, that he'll work with lawmakers to penalize the international criminal court after it issued arrest warrants for israeli leaders, including the prime minister and the defense minister. >> listen to this we want to work with you on a bipartisan basis to find inappropriate response. i'm committed to doing that as you say, the devil's in the details. so let's see what you got and we can take from there. but given the events of yesterday i think we have to look at the appropriate steps to take to deal with, again, what is a profoundly wrongheaded decision gone is what actually do you think should be taken against
8:10 am
the international criminal court? >> now i agree with the secretary. there there's bipartisan port here on on capitol hill to have a response. i'm working with my colleagues across the aisle to, have a have a very strong responses, it's outrageous with the icc did first of all, israel is not a party to that. nowhere does united states, but let's talk about credibility for a second right? assad in syria gas his own people, he used chemical weapons, he killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, hundreds of thousands civilians no arrest that's the warrant was ever issued for assad, yet now, they want to issue an arrest warrant for the leader of israel. it's a double, triple quadruple standard hey, everyone sees right through it. and so now obviously the icc is going to be further isolated by the united states on a bipartisan basis, taking action against them some, members of the house and senate, as you know, congressman, they've actually supported the icc's decision including independent senator bernie sanders, who said this
8:11 am
and i'm quoting him now, the icc prosecutor is right to take these actions, these arrest warrants may or may not be carried out, but it is imperative that the global community uphold international law congressmen, how do you respond to senator bernie sanders maybe maybe i missed it, but hopefully bernie sanders is calling for the icc de issue arrest warrants on a sob leader of syria look, there are people still here will saying that israel is committing genocide even though the president of the united states has said there's no genesis aside, even know jake sullivan has said the natural security advisors, no genocide, even though the secretary of defense lloyd austin said there is no genocide, there are still people here for political purposes, saying it's a genocide, of course, no one's saying that about what's happening in dark four where there's actually ethnic cleansing, there's no protests in the streets. there's no campus protests, right? there's nobody walking around camp and hill fighting for the people in our four, it's always israel. and so look again, there's a double, triple quadruple standard, but
8:12 am
there's gonna be a bipartisan vote on a bill sometime in the house, sometime probably either the end of this week or next week, condemning what the icc did. >> guardsmen jared moskowitz, a florida thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> and still ahead this hour of the biden administration releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from a never before used emergency reserve. >> but we'll have actually make a dent at the pump plus the jury in donald trump's hush money trial. is that a week-long break? right now? why are legal experts say the time? wait could be absolutely critical in their decision to convict or quit the former president. stay with us. you're live in the cnn newsroom assignments are going off and playing the tornado here. >> i'm thinking die. and i thought that was it filing earth with liev schreiber premieres june 2 at nine on cnn

8:18 am
they'll have six days to digest what they've heard, just to add up next tuesday scheduled close because the arguments joining us now, a cnn senior legal analyst, the former assistant us attorney, elie honig gelly. how unusual is it for a week long break now, before these closing arguments and the jury deliberations begin, it's unheard of wealth because typically what happens is that the evidence closes as it did yesterday, and then you go right essentially into closing arguments. sometimes you'll have an overnight, maybe a two day weekend, and then you go right from closings, right to the jury instruction, and then the juries deliberating here we have a week between the end of evidence and the closing arguments. now it's nobody's fault. it's just an accident of the calendar. i think the judge did the right thing by moving all the closings to after the memorial day weekend because otherwise the risk would be you split up the deliberation around the weekend, which is not a good idea for anybody, but i think what this does well, is it really heightens the importance of closings and have closings are always crucial. but here, the parties are going to have to really bring the jury back
8:19 am
to the evidence, some of which is over a month ago that the jury heard it. so closings or always crucial, but especially here when you have this kind of 12 jurors and six alternate jurors, they can go home, right? yeah. so over the next week, they can watch television, they can read the newspapers, they can do what they want. but are they being instructed? don't follow the news media at all, don't read anything about this case exactly from the first moment they were chosen as jurors we're told you are not to take in any media about this case. now it used to be easy in the old days, judges would say, if you see it on the tv, change the channel. if you see it in the newspaper foot the page. now, with the way social media is, with the way everything's on the phones there's an extra risk now that has not happened so far. there has been no hiccups with the jury, no juror has come forward and said i saw something i shouldn't have seen, but i would be mildly concerned about coming back from the memorial day break and someone says that, but if it happens, you just slot it in an altered we have six over their family, their friends are going to be talking to them as well. yeah, you don't know what they're going to be saying they should shut it down if that happens, yeah. it's obviously very sensitive moment
8:20 am
you walk us through what you're expecting during next week's closing arguments from both sides. so the defense is going to go first. that's the way it works in new york state court. i think the defense, first of all, they're going to stress the burden of proof as every defendant does and is entitled to do. they're going to say this isn't about what you think is more likely or who has a better story. this is about did the prosecution prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt? the other thing i think that the defense is going to do is they are going to really focus on michael cohen. they're going to say, you cannot convict unless you believe michael cohen, they're going to say he has no credibility. he has a history reapplying. he has a financial motive. he has a strong personal bias against donald trump. and i think they're going to attack the testimony he gave in this trial. they're going to say he got caught in that one conversation where he said it was about the stormy daniels payments, but it looks like it was actually or maybe also about these harassing texts he was getting. they're under stress. the fact that michael cohen stole money from donald trump during this transaction. so they're going to say, can't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt unless you believe michael cohen, you shouldn't believe michael
8:21 am
color. >> they did introduce documents that tend to backup, right? michael cohen was saying, so that's what the prosecution is going they say they're gonna say you don't have to believe michael cohen in a vacuum. you don't have to take his word for anything because there's crucial documents that back them up. for example, there are the checks signed by donald trump. there, the ledger entries, the invoices that say retainer, there are handwritten notes showing the way that michael cohen work with allen weisselberg and jeffrey mcconney to the financial people in the trump order to come up with these numbers. and so i think the prosecution's pitch is going to be look at all the evidence as it all ties together. you don't have to rely on michael cohen. michael cohen is backed up by the other evidence is the first time in american history that a former president has been criminally charged and gone to trial. >> good. >> give me give me a sense of guests from your perspective. it's basically guess. how long do you think the jury will deliberate? so you never know what a jury is going to do. i've seen juries deliberate for less than an hour on more simple cases, and i've seen juries deliberate for two weeks i don't think the jury is going to come back with a
8:22 am
verdict in the first day. i think they're going to be cognizant of the historic stakes that you mentioned. well, i think they're going to take their time. there's a lot of evidence i wouldn't expect a verdict until at least the second or third de of deliberations were guessing here. but i think they're going to understand that the worlds watching and that their verdict needs to be careful. a well-supported yeah. i think you're absolutely right. we'll see what happens. we'll be all on jury ready as this exactly. elie honig. thank you very much. still ahead extreme turbulence at 37,000 feet, one passenger board that singapore airlines flight right? says, all hell broke loose. stay with us, urine. the cnn news russia were trying to spy on us we were spying on them. i was hadi friday this is a war but secret war, secrets and spies, a nuclear game we're sunday, june 2, that ten on cnn. you've founded your kayak company because he loved the ocean, not

captivity by hamas on october 7, two of the seven women who were taken captive on october 7 by hamas have one of them is no, mr.. siano, she was killed in captivity according to to the israeli military, and her body has since been retrieved by israeli forces another one of the women, she or omega de, was actually rescued in an israeli military operation in gaza, but five of these other women are still being held captive and their families are the ones we understand who decided to release this very graphic video today because they want to bring back attention on the plight of their daughters and try and pressure the israeli government further to secure a hostage deal that could secure their release. the israeli government for now is also sharing this video actually on its accounts, on social media. and so a question it's about how much this will actually help pressure this government. but certainly wealth it is bringing
8:30 am
back attention on the plight of these five women, all 18 and 19 years old at the time that they were taken captive. we know of course that those hostage negotiations are stalled at the moment. they have been for the last couple of weeks and for now there is no clear possibility of getting over the gaps that remain between the two sides. >> so disturbing those images indeed are jeremy diamond. thank you very much for that report right now, i want to bring in david sanger for some analysis. he's a cnn political and national security analysts. he's also a correspondent, of course, for the new york times. he's the author of a very important brand new book entitled new cold war's china's rise, russia's invasion at america's struggled to defend the west. it's getting excellent, excellent reviews right now. congratulations on the new book, david. thanks very so much for joining us. let me get your reaction first to these very disturbing images of these young israeli female soldiers who were being tortured by hamas in gaza.

erin burnett that the drop was so sudden that no one at time to prepare including the flight crew i didn't see any member of cabin crew that wasn't injured. they all every single cabin crew person i saw had had an injury of some salt. >> the heart goes out to that actually because they were doing their job and they're quite vulnerable as well because they're on their pain they weren't seated, obviously didn't have the seat belts tom because they were doing going about their duties. >> so that they were extremely vulnerable and as i say, not one of them was uninjured that i could see cnn's ivan watson is in bangkok with more details injuries and death after several minutes of terror, more than 30,000 feet in the sky. a singapore airlines flight hit with severe turbulence, throwing passengers and crew throughout cabin. ten hours into the flight the incident
8:39 am
was so rough lighting and air ventilation, to fill out of the ceiling. >> food trays from breakfast littered across the floor emergency workers raced to bangkok's. so when suvarnabhumi international airport on tuesday afternoon after the flight turned deadly traffic control on the tarmac. >> quick to redirect ambulances and set up a makeshift medical tents for injured passengers flight sq321 departed from london and was on route to singapore, but severe turbulence force pilots to make an emergency landing in thailand a 73 year-old british man, geoff kitchen died on board the flight at least seven others were in critical condition with dozens more injured if the plane landed at the airport and the medical team were sent to the scene. >> investigator many injuries occurred. so the airport had to
8:40 am
issue an emergency plan. all our teams went to help out to the airline has launched an investigation into the incident with the british embassy also deploying officials to support those in hospital that passengers left with the question of how this all went so wrong? >> what to bring in c that safety analyst, david susie right now, he was an faa investigator, wrote a very important book on the crash of malaysia airlines flight three, 70 david, thanks for joining us. how rare is the severe turbulence like this that we just saw and heard about? what are you hearing about these paths? messengers, and how the crew experienced all of this a board that singapore jet well, first of all, wolf, it is not very rare at all. >> not very common at all to see this happen. it's extremely rare, particularly to have a death in flight. the last one i'm aware of was back in 1994, so it's been many, many years
8:41 am
since we've had a fatality caused directly from turbulence like this severity, this, you can see the passengers are injured. that can come from a lot of different things, mostly, like he mentioned before that the flight crew was not fastened in. they would not expecting it. i don't think this was clear air turbulence. i believe it was related to some activity in the area from weather. so it is somewhat predictable, but even at that, to be able to know there hadn't been any flights reported before that with any kind of turbulence. so a lot of these injuries are not just from the flight attendants, but because of the flight attendants being thrown around the cabin can cause injuries as they land on the other passengers and that's sort of thing. so it's a very dangerous situation and i it could have been even worse than it was. i believe the flight attendants are always the most vulnerable because they're walking around, they're not in their seats with seat belts attached. >> so they're very, very vulnerable as you correctly pointed out, early reports are now suggesting whether was a lightly factor. so what options
8:42 am
do pilots have in these cases well, the first option if it's if it's immediate, is to just slow the airplane down quite a bit. >> because then even though you still get the same movements at a slower speed they're less dramatic. so that's the first mitigating thing that they can do. the second thing they can do it was trying to avoid it. so they read it ahead of time. they hear what the other pilots are saying, who'd flown through that area. but in this case there were no reports of that going on. so they were trying to do that, but to avoid it. now, the most concerning part of this is if their work in the case of the clear-air turbulence and we're working on the faa is working on, nasa is working on some things to try to detect clear-air turbulence. but currently there's not a real effective way to be conclusive about whether you're flying into this clearer turbulence or not? the national transportation safety board, david is involved as we all know now in this investigation of what happened on that boeing jet, what will they be looking for do you
8:43 am
suspect? well, what they'll do is they'll be part of the team. they won't be directing the investigation, but they are part of the team because there were americans onboard the aircraft and it wasn't american manufactured airplane. so they will be involved and they will produce a report that the first thing that there'll be looking at is was it preventable? and if it wasn't preventable, then they're going going to be making recommendations and supporting actions that would make it preventable. so that takes us into what nasa is working on with this infra sonic testing from the ground are reporting from the ground, which would tell us more about what's going on with the movement of the air this was a boeing triple seven jumbo jet, right and they have very strong good records as far as i know yeah. >> it's very, very reliable. aircraft has been out there for many, many years and it still continues to produce wonderful results. it's reliable. i don't see that there's anything that happened here in fact if you think about it, to
8:44 am
be able to go through those clearer turbulences and this dramatic weather turbulence without damage to the aircraft is really testament to the strength and stability of that airplane. >> bottom line is when you're on a plane and you're in your seat, have that seatbelt fastened even if it's very smooth, it's a good idea, right? >> that's right. i was on a flight recently. i had to remind the person next to me to put his seat belt on and he kind of ignored me and said, yeah, you're just acting like a dad here telling me to put my seat belt on, but then eventually put it back on when i expressed to him that it's not only for your safety, these seat belts protect the people around you because if you don't have yours on and you get into that turbulence, you become a projectile and you can cause injury to others. so it's very important to have your seat belt on not only for you, but for everyone in that kevin? >> yeah. very important to have those seat belts. i was on an amtrak a cell the other day. no seat belts. and i felt very uncomfortable. they should have seat belts on trains two, that's just my opinion. i don't know anyone else agree
8:45 am

>> i hope it has an impact. and i hope that i hope that it motivates other delegation to continue to get involved. i hope that it motivates our state department to take a stronger action possibly even our president to pick up the phone and make a phone call five americans have been charged for violating the strict gun laws within the british territory overseas. this prompted a visit from a bipartisan group of lawmakers attempting to help the detainees. but so far the state department has been silent over the next couple of weeks. the biden administration meanwhile says it will sell off 1 million barrels of gas from a never before used emergency stockpile. they're hoping the move will keep gas prices in check, heading into 4 july weekend cnn reporter matt egan is joining us right now. matt first, where is this gas coming from? and will this really do anything to lower the gas
8:52 am
prices well, if this is not likely to be a game changer, but maybe we don't need a game changer because as prices, they've actually been pretty calm lately. >> now, this gasoline is coming from emergency stockpile here in the northeast. it's called the northeast gasoline supply reserve. >> it was formed in 2014 after superstorm sandy cause all kinds of disruptions to the energy market. unlike the much larger strategic petroleum reserve, this is a relatively small reserve. it's never been used before and it's actually quite expensive to maintain. that's why congress passed legislation earlier this year we're acquiring the biden administration to shut this reserve down. >> so this move announced yesterday by the energy department, it's not really an emergency response from us officials. >> it's really just doing what they were required to do now experts tell me that this is not likely to move the needle on gas prices because although 1 million gallons, i'm sorry, million barrels of gasoline
8:53 am
sounds like a lot. it's really not it's not even enough to account for three hours of national supply. so this is really just a blip in the grand scheme of things. >> so where do gas prices stan ahead of this weekend's memorial day holiday weekend well, the national average is at three 3601 a gallon. >> that's actually down about seven from the recent peak, although it is a little bit higher than a year ago. >> but i think that really we're gas prices are it's a lot better than feared. just a few months ago, there are all these concerns about $4 gas because you've got opec holding back supply. ukraine has been hitting oil refineries in russia. of course, the situation in the middle east has been extremely volatile. so the fact that gas prices have been pretty calm and down from the high has been good news. if we can put into historical perspective 3601 heading into the memorial day weekend. this
8:54 am
is higher, of course, than where gas prices were in the years before and right after covid. >> but this is also significantly lower than where prices were two years ago. >> you see in 2022, the national average heading into this holiday weekend, was at 4:59. of course that was a year of historically high gas prices faithfully, there's been a lot of improvement since then. in any case, wolf, a lot of americans are expected to hit the roads this holiday weekend, triple a forecasting 30 eight 8.4 million people will be on the road that is up 4% from a year ago, and that would mark the most and triple aaa started tracking this back in 2000 all right, thanks very much about egan helping us better appreciate what's going on as he always does and to our viewers. thanks very much for joining me here in the cnn newsroom. i, wolf blitzer in washington. i'll be back later. tonight's 6:00 p.m. eastern in the situation room back here tomorrow, 11:00 a.m. mr. and in the cnn newsroom.
