10:00 pm
shooting response now this comes just a day after the new uvalde school district police chief submitted his resignation. the man who held that position during the massacre who was fired months after the shooting. as you may know, 19 children and two teachers were killed and uvalde's robb elementary school after the shooter barricaded himself in a classroom it took 77 minutes for officers to breach that classroom door and kill the gunman the news continues right here on cnn outfront next trump, tonight's spreading a lie that the fbi tried to kill him, even though it's been widely to debunk this as a hearing on trump's classified documents, case devolves into a shouting match tonight, plus breaking news justice samuel alito, under fire for a second, flag outside his home. >> this one carried by rioters on january 6, will use the mrs. alito did it excuse again. >> and on the ground round in tehran tonight is mourners flocked to the president's funeral and a top official
10:01 pm
reveals what happened on that president's helicopter that someone had survived for hours let's go out front i'm good evening. i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. the breaking news trump claims deadly force authorized quotes. the former president and his allies absurdly accusing president biden of trying to assassinate trump. and moments ago, trump's team sent out this newsletter, just got came into my email. they call it the palm beach playbook, but it comes from donald j. trump.com the very first line under top news falsely claims that deadly force was authorized against trump during an fbi rate at mar-a-lago that the intent of that being possible assassination, the newsletter coming just an hour after trump gave this radio interview newly released court filings showed that the fbi was authorized to use deadly force if needed during the rate of your private home in august 2022, it's stunning. >> you're a former president
10:02 pm
of the united states what was your reaction that it was authorized by biden's doj well, these are vicious table as 0s fascist communist let me go to the wording here very carefully in just a moment. >> first, i want you to know how much this claim of an assassination has been steamrolling in the maga world. trump claiming on social media that there are quote, reports, the crooked joe biden's doj and they're illegal and unconstitutional rate of mar-a-lago all caps authorized the fbi to use deadly lethal force and trump's allies are running with that narrative the authorized deadly force. >> they had a medic they had a plan to triage the wondered they had a trauma center 18 miles away in a map. this was an attempted assassination attempt on donald john trump. >> are people associated with him? >> biden unleashed armed agents into trump's house authorizing them to use deadly force all
10:03 pm
right. i'm again, i'm going to get to this authorizing bad deadly force in a moment, but more maga marjorie taylor greene can on social media quote the biden doj fbi were playing to assassinate president trump and gave the green light congressman paul gosar biden ordered the hit on trump at mar-a-lago. a hit, and assassination. these are sitting congresspeople, of course that i just quoted. they're accusing the sitting president and the fbi of trying to assassinate if former president now they're basing this on newly unsealed documents related to the 2022 search of mar-a-lago. now, among those documents with something called a law enforcement operations order which explains what agents are allowed to do and what they're allowed to bring with them. in this case where they searched mar-a-lago. what's in the deir is boilerplate language from the justice department manual about the use of force. is boilerplate. it's everywhere when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer there are to another person the language is standard
10:04 pm
and it is directly from the departments manual. by the way, they also knew that trump was 1,000 miles away when they went in. so they knew he wasn't even there. but the former fbi deputy operations xiv, robbed amigo, tells out front that the language included here is quote, standard language for every single operation. >> bar, none. boilerplate, every single situation what trump is saying is just a disinformation campaign highlighting it for people who don't know. >> now, a disinformation campaign about a case that trump is trying to stop from ever coming to trial today at the first hearing, judge aileen cannon has actually held since she indefinitely postponed poem the documents case, the proceedings quickly devolved into a shouting match between the defense and the prosecution. the judge scolded the prosecutor, telling him to quote, calm down. evan perez is out front and evan, i want to start with those hearings here because this was the first first time we had heard from judge aileen cannon on this matter since basically the case was sent to purgatory, any
10:05 pm
understanding here of where this case is visibly a trial? >> well today really gives you an example of why this case is moving so slowly. so plotting only because over the of course of five hours it was these were, these are two separate hearings. there were accusations. there was shouting as you pointed out, in the end, the judge didn't rule on any of the motion since the emotions that were made by the defendants to dismiss some of these charges, the shouting happened because stan woodward one of the attorneys, is an attorney representing walt nauta he claimed that this is there is that there's evidence of a selective and vindictive prosecution of his client. and he said that during a meeting with prosecutors they mentioned the fact that he was recommended for a judgeship and he implicate. he said insinuation. was that he should try to get nauta to co-op operate with this investigation. this is something of course that got a
10:06 pm
very sharp reply from prosecutors. they said that this was pure fantasy now the judge did not seem like she was going to grant these motions to dismiss, but she didn't seem a lot more sympathetic to the idea that this is a complicated case. and the jurors may have a hard time understanding it now ahead of the hearing, erin, we saw those hundreds of pages of new documents of documents. we you have now seen before, including those images of walt nauta moving boxes at mar-a-lago, according to prosecutors, this is in june of 2022, after after the trump team had received a subpoena for those documents to be turned to be turned over to the to the government and so what we heard today it was a lot of argument about what this obstruction case and whether the government had enough proof for this case. to even go to trial at the end, aaron, we did did not hear a new trial date from judge aileen cannon.
10:07 pm
>> there, of course, the bottom line. evan, thank you very much outside of that courthouse in florida former trump white house layer ty cobb is out front with me now and tie. i just wanted to start. here are a couple of things here, judge cannon unsealed a large backup batch of documents at trump's request. and among them, of course boilerplate search warrant that trump now claims was an assassination attempt. you heard steve bannon, everybody's saying was assassination attempt. it was a hit for biden to kill trump that's false. it's robbed. emiko said and will say in a moment, it's in every single one of these orders but what was your reaction tie when you hear trump coming out and pushing this assassination claim things get crazy or every day or and always nice to be with you trump. as a consistent record of lying about the judicial process and and and his his perception of that process is really odd for
10:08 pm
example, you're correct that these these pleadings were on earth that his insistence and not they're no longer sealed are available public there's there's one sentence and maybe two sentences in the 87 page opinion by judge, how who was i believe chief judge at the time in dc when she ruled. >> on the issue of the attorney-client privilege and crime-fraud exception that is favorable to trump, where she cautions the government with regard to a question that they asked one to trump's lawyers. yeah. >> but the rest of that 87 page opinion is a eviscerate. trump. and frankly, if judge cannon's having a hard time understanding this case, which she clearly is, she should read that opinion because it takes it from soup to nuts and makes
10:09 pm
it very clear how guilty the president is. in this case, which has been laid out so clearly, were you surprised devin was just saying what judge cannon said today that she thought, that it would be hard for a jury to understand this case do you think there's anything to that? i think most jurors will have a triple digit iq and that's probably not familiar territory for a judge cannon, but i don't i don't think they'll have the difficulty that she perceives and frankly anybody who struggles to understand this should reach judge house 87 page opinion with regard to the crime-fraud exception, where she makes it very clear that the evidence is really overwhelming as the commission of the crimes and trump's attempt to use his own lawyer as an instrumentality of the crimes by hiding documents from him and moving documents out of the storage so so that when he searched it, he would not find the classified documents. >> so sutaj that this was the
10:10 pm
first time we heard from judge cannon's and she indefinitely postponed the trial. first hearing devolved into a shouting match as we were just saying do you think there's any possibility that this case moves at all? there's no trial date. now, she's made that formal no, i don't think this case will move at all, and i think the fact that she's scheduling hearings multiple hearings. >> yeah, sort of one or two motions at a time is is compelling evidence that they're most luck was federal judges would have long ago ruled on all the pending motions. and frankly, this is a case that should've started trial yesterday when are two days ago when the yeah original trial date was set this case could have easily gotten to trial only her and competence and perceived bias and has prevented that hi. ty, thank you very much. i appreciate it my pleasure. >> nice to be with you. >> all right. you too. and now on this echo chamber that is getting louder and louder about this assassination attempt as a trump and his allies are
10:11 pm
describing it, robbed amigo is a form we're fbi's supervisory special agent, so rob, you explain to us and others have also saying and ties explaining that it is standard procedure in every fbi operation to author fries the use of force and the conditions that were laid out. >> so what do you say to trump and those who are calling this an assassination attempt even just an hour ago i actually, if, if people weren't taking a serious, i'd find it humerus because it's so outrageous. >> it's so, so over the the top that the fbi would assassinate anyone. it's one of those things that every aap has this in it, every aap has a triage plan. every aap has a map to the trauma center. >> if you look at every single operation, fbi is done, you're going to find the exact same thing in each one of them. >> it goes back to there was some during ruby ridge, there was a conversation about changing the rules of force and
10:12 pm
fbi got prosecuted for trying to cover that up because it wasn't legal. but you go back to this one it's one of those cases that if trump was there and they knew he's going to be 1,000 miles away. they knew he's going to be in new york anyhow but even if he was there, he probably be the safest person in the planet. if the fbi came in and did a search warrant there because they're not gonna allow anything to happen to him. in their presence. it's one of those like i arrested a somali pirate and africa and literally when we're on a blackout tarmac with a disclosed jet and he looked at me when i told him he was under arrest and he looked at me and said you're going to kill me. and i said you're actually the safest person on the planet because you're under fbi custody now it goes back to the same thing to khuza'a, and you can talk about politics of doj and fbi in a prosecution. but to go to the fact that they're going to assassinate a former president is just so outlandish that it just hurts that anyone in this country we believe that bianna do that. >> well, and that i think is
10:13 pm
what's scary is that people can believe things like this. people will believe things like this. and just to make the point and you shouldn't even have to make the point because you're as you're laying out, it's in every case that you're all of it's in every single situation. and the point is that you would be he completely safe. but then there is on top of this again, shouldn't have to make this point, but that the fbi knew trump was 1,000 miles away when they did the rate, they knew he was not there he was given other accommodations, right. because the former president there coordinated with the secret service, so they knew where is location was going to be. and then they did go into some things that were not on normal search warrants, were are they talked about not wearing a ray jacket? that it'd be a polo that you wanted to keep your weapon hidden from plain sight and things. so the sensitivities of what they were doing was actually put into the search warrant telling the agents like, hey, this isn't a normal one it's we want to be a little bit lower key. we want to be a little bit more discreet, uncertain things. so
10:14 pm
the sensitivities of who we were who he is were taken into account. >> all right. rob, thank you very much. i appreciate your explaining it and i i hope it will also have an echo chamber, so thank you. >> thank you. >> next breaking news another january 6 flags bought it over a different home belonging to justice samuel alito, according to the new york times hi will alito recuse himself from the trump cases and new details about the helicopter crash that killed or iran's president and foreign minister. play by play, eyewitness account of what happened in those moments. plus they claim to be russians embracing china. but their ai generated fakes, blessed by the communist government which in the sam monument drawing goren, you may zhongguo should change, should doj untrained the go down huge things happen

10:19 pm
this photo taken just days after january 6 of the american flag flown upside down outside alito's primary residence and virginia, it is a known symbol of solidarity among trump's supporters who think the election was stolen. that time, alito blamed his wife. he said, quote, it was briefly placed by mrs. alito in response it's to a neighbor's use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs. but it comes in the context of the supreme court at this moment deciding to crucial cases involving trump's efforts to overturn the election in front. now joan biskupic, she has cnn's senior supreme court analyst joan obviously, no one knows more about what, you're allowed to do or not or what what would cause a situation on the supreme court, then you tonight, mounting pressure on justice alito to recuse himself from trump's cases. the second instance will flag now uncovered by the new york times. do you expect that he will stay defined in the face of these calls for him to recuse well, it's good to see you, aaron, and i think we're going to just see those calls
10:20 pm
from democrats and activists really ramp up. but we have seen no signs from justice alito that he will heed any calls to take himself out of the case. >> now, just last november remember that the justice has put in place a more formal code of conduct that was after reports of wealthy conservative interests paying for lavish trips four clarence thomas and samuel alito himself. >> and what the code set out. were some rules to try to inspire confidence in the judiciary and the code specifically says that a justice should disqualify himself or herself in a case when the justice's impartiality might reasonably be questioned, that is, where an unbiased and reasonable person who is aware of all the relevant circumstances this would doubt that the justice could be could fairly discharge his or her duties. but here's the key thing here and all nine of them signs that. but all nine of them are the ones who
10:21 pm
would be the arbiters of whether there's any conflict, the justices are judges, so to speak, of their own cases. and there is no way to bring a complaint in any the formal way that it would be aired. and these are all lifetime appointees. the only way to really have a punishment is through impeachment. >> a new, a new way to use judge and jury. so this report itself, though, finding a second flag at this time the timing is very interesting. do you read anything into it well, i have to say beginning tomorrow morning, aaron, the justices will begin handing down the most closely watched cases of their session and it will begin tomorrow and run through the end of june. >> and as you mentioned earlier, two of the most important cases involve donald, former president donald trump's efforts that culminated on january 6 at the capitol. all part of the stop the steal campaign one of those cases goes to whether former
10:22 pm
president trump should be put to a criminal trial for four counts of election subversion that special counsel jack smith, on behalf of the justice department. the american people, has brought that's one really important in case involving potential immunity and the other is more directed january 6 and it involves defendants who do not want to be subject to obstruction charges of official proceeding. or in big cases to be decided to based around big cases. and this on the eve of that potentially happening, joan. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> and we do have more breaking news and this quote from nikki haley, she said, quote, i will be voting for trump those are the words of the former republican presidential candidate. she broke her silence. today's speaking out nearly 80 days after dropping out of the presidential race. jeff zeleny is outfront i will be voting for trump with those words today, nikki haley became the biggest republican rival to fall into line behind donald
10:23 pm
trump. >> trump has not been perfect on these policies. i've made that clear many, many times but biden has been a catastrophe who live were turned to the public stage for the first time since suspending her president central campaign to deliver a foreign policy address a dangerous worldview has risen on both sides of the aisle. >> once again, it threatens our prosperity and security we need to take this one seriously, but her remarks about the threats facing the us, were overshadowed by a remarkable political one at over one pivoting away if i'm being trump's nemesis, how much more losing do we have to do before we realized maybe donald trump is the problem to becoming his supporter. >> i will be voting for trump having said that, i stand by what i said in my suspension speech, trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continued to support me and not
10:24 pm
assume that they're just going to be with him. and i genuinely hope he does that since leaving the race in march, the former south carolina governor has stayed out of the public eye, reconnect think with her family aide said, including her husband, michael, who returned from a year long overseas deployment, but even in her absence, she's been winning votes in one republican primary for another. >> this is a wake-up call exposing a potential challenge facing trump in unifying the party particularly in suburban areas of swing states, like outside philadelphia, where haley received nearly 25% of the vote in both chester and montgomery county's. >> while trump has not extended an olive branch to haley or her supporters, the biden campaign has targeted them through digital ads like this. >> pinky haley has made an unholy alliance with rhinos, never trumpeters hoping to remind her supporters of those insults and trying to win over voters eager to keep trump from returning to the white house biden campaign is closely studied. republican in primary
10:25 pm
results cnn has learned even in deep-red states like indiana, where haley received more than 21% of the vote earlier this month, it's an open question. how many of those voters are lodging a temporary protest against trump? or actually open to supporting biden haley did not say whether she would campaign for trump or if she's still believed the argument she made against him for more than a year he got acknowledged the fact he can't win a general election, but she made clear she was back in the republican fold for whatever the future may hold, we have to face the hard truths and do harder work but i have faith that will rise to meet the challenge before us. >> if any country can still make it happen, it's hours. >> peleus comments were hardly a full-throated endorsement of donald trump. she did not mention his name once during the speech she gave. but the point is, she said she would choose trump over biden the question is, what will her supporters do the biden campaign's still believes
10:26 pm
there are many voters out there who simply do not want trump to return to the white house for haley's part. will she campaigned for donald trump or focus on her own future aaron jeff. thank you very much. and outfront now, from our trump white house insider and communications director, alyssa farah griffin, also of course, on the view. so alyssa i mean, there's could be any de right. any de that had happened, but it happened today. haley comes out major speech saying she'll vote for trump. did you see it coming? >> so it was disappointing, but not surprising. i mean, she joins a long list of people who are deeply critical of trump who have said he was unfit for office, who have launched every tack against them that they could. she of course, was also the first prominent republican after january 6 to speak to the republican party and say, you know, we need to move on. but then ultimately come back into the fold because at the end of the day career ism, ambition and being able to have a longstanding in the gop is more according to most politicians, what's interesting to me is this. she continues to put points on the board. this pennsylvania primary that jeff
10:27 pm
mentioned. >> i am not convinced that her voters necessarily go with her and what i say, i why i say that is i think she was an avatar for never trump for someone other than trump, she was the person going the hardest after him, the best alternative, but i'm not convinced that even happen of those end up going with her simply because she's backing trump. well, and that's significant because obviously some of these states that could make all the difference, right and as jeff points out, it wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement, but nonetheless, she did it. she went and did it. so it didn't have to be ringing, but she has been vicious in her attacks against trump. i mean, just here's a few of the examples we, can't have someone who sits there and mocks our men and women who were trying to protect america. there is no way that the american people are going to vote for convicted criminal. >> they're not. >> trump got out there and just through a temper tantrum, bring it donald, show me what you got and she remember there was a
10:28 pm
time, you know, chris christie maybe maybe chris christie is gonna be the one to harken back and say i was right. right. remember when he went i mean, but isn't this why people disliked politics so completely complete? >> donald trump went after her family, her husband it's been who was serving in the military brought in africa at the time, and she's still comes around to kiss the ring. i mean, it is it's shameful. it's embarrassing, it's pathetic. and i by the way, supported nikki haley but this just go goes to show people that there's not going to be somebody who emerges from the old school of politics to save the republican party from where it's going. it's going to have to be somebody outside who is not beholden to wanting to have the longstanding future in the party who's trying to know angle for their next cabinet position. and i think that must be what nikki haley is doing. but what i would say is this note, the one most prominent republican who is not supporting donald trump this election vice president mike pence, his own vice president, who was much closer to trump, was just steps from the oval office much closer than the un ambassador was. because he cannot in good conscience that he's backing someone who tried to overturn are election in just fundamentally a threat to
10:29 pm
democracy. these other people know that, but mike pence knows the stakes are too high. >> that's and that's a fascinating point but the bottom line here is you act, don't think her voters necessarily go with her i don't think so because i would consistently see what some of these nikki haley voters that they would go further then her in focus groups when they were interviewed in their criticisms of trump, they were actually often encouraging her to kinda lean the directions you did at the end. >> so i think that many of them are going to be on the fence watching to see where biden goes. but where it gets interesting for biden, the dynamics of the israel-hamas it's war. if he starts to seem like he's caving too much to the left. that's where these swing moderate republicans could ultimately hold their nose. i think, and be with donald trump. i mean, both sides are going to have to work for them, but it's not a given that their witness thank you. all right. >> but let's that is great to see you. thank you. burning at both ends of the candle as they say. >> all right. outfront nacs cnn on the ground and tehran. why did the pilot of the helicopter care? freeing the president of iran tell the other two helicopters in a convoy to dodge a cloud ahead. >> and then he didn't and the

like a pro pain-free absorbing pro the nba playoffs. i always get emotional. you more concerned about what's going on inside the nba and what's going on inside a, you no doc. right. >> and that's all the time we have. >> thanks for watching. are you cut into a commercial western conference finals presented by at&t began tonight on tnt tonight, about 20 passengers are still in intensive care after the singapore airlines flight hit severe turbulence on the way from london to singapore, leaving one person dead and many more critically injured fighting for their lives. >> one lucky passenger is now speaking out after just leaving the hospital there were lots of people and was positioned to maybe laying out on the floor and i can i realize i'm lucky oh, people have got some spinal issues from hitting their head and then connect back down so
10:42 pm
that have quietly scott a lot people can barely move alright, well, this is growing evidence is pointing to rapidly developing thunderstorms causing the severe turbulence outfront. now, one of the world's top and most famous science experts, bill nye, the science guy. i of course, known to all watching. and bill, so thank you. >> all right. it look, this isn't a terrifying thing. and anybody can imagine being on a plane and you've been flying along and everything's fine and then all the sudden this horrific thing happens. what do you think is behind the growing number of cases of severe turbulence we're hearing about well, severe turbulence in this case almost certainly is from a show called severe thunderstorm. and this is it's not arbitrary, it just means where the wind speed along the ground is over 50 knots 60 miles an hour, hundred kilometers now are almost and so what happens, everybody is this business of wind shear. and you may have heard this
10:43 pm
word, but i brought a pair of shears just so we all understand we're talking about one thing going up and the other thing coming down. and so in the thunderstorm, we spared no expense here. are in an a thunderstorm, you have rocked rising air and the air is rising because cold air is squeezing warm, warm air up. and the reason the air is warm is because sunlight sitting your surface being re-radiated as heat and the atmosphere nowadays is holding in more heat than it used to. and i'm just want to give people an idea of the scale of the thing you have a tiny airplane next to a huge column of rising air. and if the airplane passes through the area where the air is going up and coming down at the same time, the plane can suffer in this case, catastrophic changes in altitude. >> and everybody, it sounds like it was a lot of gs a lot of g-force, but it sounds like the people who got injured
10:44 pm
we're not wearing their seat belts. >> these flight attendants were up there working for a living and people who might have been out of their seats. and so they hit their heads that's a really unexpected thing. and so everybody, you know, you may have heard this wear your seat belt, but it's a real thing. >> well, i know certainly an andrew davies. he was on the plane. he was actually sitting in front of the gentleman who we know tragically died. and the man's wife literally widowed on that plane and he was talking about what happened beforehand and it was a normal flight, ten hours, 37,000 feet. nothing he said, in fact, no turbulence and then that's all hell broke loose the plane just felt like it dropped it probably only lasted a few seconds, but i remember vividly seeing shoes and ipads iphones and cushions and blankets and cutlery and plates and cups
10:45 pm
flying through the air and crashing to the ceiling. >> the gentleman next to me had a cup of coffee which went straight all over me and up to the ceiling and then of course he stuck with the gash, is that he saw the blood. i mean, just just horrific. you talk about g-forces aero aerospace engineer until the wall street journal a little bit ago, that the force of the turbulence could have been what an astronaut experiences during a rocket launch, even more than that which is it really impossible but is this when you yeah, go ahead. sure well, just astronauts might feel three, three-and-a-half. >> jeez. it sounds like these people are into nine or ten gs for a few moments. fighter pilots go through 7.5 and so on. the problem is, when you're not ready for it, when you're up walking around and then this change in altitude happens so fast. compare what happens to people in our crashes who are wearing seat belts with those people who might not be wearing seat belts, it's when you hit
10:46 pm
stuff and i got into trouble. but i just wanna ask you one thing because you had mentioned that the air is warmer. >> that's part of the reason you're seeing the clear-air turbulence. we've heard is now partially because of climate change. but even this, a thunder storm drift an incident, it sounds like you're also connecting possibly to what's happening in the climate oh, yes
