named blue very much alive. but how did blue end up as the face of political scandal oral are donie o'sullivan looked into it and found the picture came from a reddit user. it was posted more than a year ago but then it was picked up on twitter when the kristi noem story went viral and the dog then was identified as cricket. it's spread like wildfire, even published by one of the uk's biggest newspapers even though it's been debunked, it still popped up today as cricket thanks for joining us. >> the news continues right here on cnn happening now, breaking news, nikki haley declares she will vote for donald trump endorsing the former rival. she fiercely attacked during her gop presidential bid. we're breaking down her announcement and the timing as she's still siphoning support from trump in the primaries. also tonight, the judge in the trump classified documents case holds the first hearings since delaying the trial hello. and a shouting match erupts. this a

bit new photos and revelations about the mar-a-lago search and the fbi investigation and sean diddy combs his face basic another allegation of sexual assault this time in a lawsuit filed by a former model. it's happening just days after cnn exclusively obtained a 2016 video showing the rapper kicking and dragging his then girlfriend welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world i will blitzer a urine the situation room the skis, cnn breaking news first up tonight, the breaking news more than two months after dropping out of the republican presidential race, nikki haley now says she will be voting for donald trump in november even as she urges him to do more to reach out to her supporters. >> let's bring in cnn's kylie out what who follow the haley campaign during the gop

primaries? kylie, how is haley explaining this? >> well, she put it pretty clearly today. she said that former president trump is simply the better option over president joe biden. she made it very clear that she personally will be voting for him and she also said that this is a situation where he's going to have to continue neutral earn the support of her voters. now, we should note wolf, that when she dropped out of the race, she was running against the former president in the primary. she did not explicitly doors former president trump and it got pretty heated between the two of them on the campaign tries to recall at one point, she said trump was not qualified to be president because of the way that he had taught talked about military family. she said military families couldn't trust him to keep their loved ones out of harm's way. so there were some significant jobs that were traded between the two of them. they still have not spoken since you dropped out of the race? more than two months ago now, but today, making it clear that she personally is going to be voting for him in november

listen to what she said. >> it's good to be as a voter i put my priorities on a president who's going to have the backs of our allies. and hold her enemies to account who would secure the border no more excuses. a president who would support capitalism and freedom a president who understands we need less debt. now, more debt trump has not been perfect on these policies. i've made that clear many, many times but biden has been a catastrophe so 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 continue to support me and not assume that they're just going to be with him. and i genuinely hope he does that now, both even after dropping out of the race, there were states in the primary where there were voters who voted if for nikki haley in some states, she was able to garner close to 20% of the vote. >> so it is clear that even though the republican party has clearly coalesce behind former president trump and she is doing that even further today. there are still voters out there who wanted haley, who are making a protest vote and she is saying that the former president is going to have to reach out to that. now, the question remains, will former president trump make a phone call to nikki haley? they still haven't talked and will she do any campaigning on his behalf if she he's asked to well, like kylie, that would report it for us, kylie. >> thank you very much. i want to get some quick reaction to nikki, haley's dramatic announcement from the trump world for that, i want to bring

in cnn's kristen holmes, who has been working her sources over there. kristen, how will this play? >> well, that's really interesting, and that's the big question here. i mean, despite the fact that nikki haley and trump had this somewhat bitter and personal rivalry, i'll remind you that he called her names. that's certain point. he made fun of her husband and his military service. now you see her really falling in line behind my pattern that we've seen from republicans since 2016 with these fuse between donald trump and other republicans and then them eventually saying that they would come out and vote for donald trump. now, the interesting part here is as kylie mentioned, whether or not this actually moves the needle with these protests, voters, with these haley supporters i will remind you, we showed a list there of some of the states in which haley really outperform. but she should have given the fact that she had dropped out of the race pennsylvania really being the key one. this was open for a month after she dropped out. pennsylvania is a state that is considered completely purple. it is a battleground state and

one that the trump team wants. she got over six teen percent of pennsylvania republican voters. that is a huge number. now there are still republicans who believed that these nikki haley supporters are critical for donald trump. there are even republicans that are in donald trump's immediate circle who have suggested that he reached out to her, who have suggested that he even consider her for vice president. now that is something that he himself has almost completely ruled out. he said that on social media that he would not be considering her for vice president. we have yet to hear any reaction from trump or his team on nikki haley's saying she would vote for him. i will remind you he is currently in texas attending a series of fundraisers with these oil and energy executives will. >> kristen holmes reported and kristin, thank you very much. let's get some analysis from our political experts said, let me start with david chilean or political director, are how significant is this nikki haley endorsement of trump? well, it's a significant development because she did something she hasn't done before, which is publicly say, i'm with him and i'm gonna vote for donald trump i don't think this is a

terribly surprising development. i don't think there was anywhere else for nikki haley to land in this race if she wanted to preserve any kind of future in the republican party, it's donald trump's republican party and he's remade it in his image. so i think the political calculation was always sort of inevitable that we'd get here. but i do think it is interesting because she she said that biden would be a catastrophe and yes, trump hasn't been perfect on these things. that is very different from when she talked to dana bash in new hampshire and she said, these guys are equally bad she clearly has moved in her calculation on that as she made this decision about who she was concerned, certainly has and gloria, i want to remind our viewers of some of the things that nikki haley used to say, you to say about but donald trump, listen to this, the tape. >> the other day, donald trump accused me of not providing security at the capital on january now i've long called for mental competency test for

politicians over the age of 75, chaos follows him and we can't have a country in disarray in a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos. we won't survive it. i feel no need to kiss the ring i have no fear of trump's retribution. that's the chaos that comes with donald. that's the offensiveness. it's going to happen in every day between now and the general election, which is why continued to say, donald trump cannot win a general election. >> he won't gloria, what's your reaction here you go. never mind, right? i mean, look, today, her endorsement was not exactly what i would call full throated. >> she did not tell her voters you've got to vote for donald trump. >> number one. number two, it wasn't in her speech. it came in reaction at the end of her

speech when somebody asked her question, who you're going to endorse. and then she went into her spiel about it so this is a candidate who called donald trump on hinged and everything else that you just let's showed. so i don't think they're ever going to be great buddies, but i think she wants to have a future in the republican party. and if she wants to have a future and the republican party, this was the only choice for her as david was saying good point de to scott jennings. haley said trump would be smart to reach out to the people who voted for her, even though she had dropped out of the republican primaries, haley did win votes from a significant amount of republican voters, including an key battleground states like arizona pennsylvania, and wisconsin, how much is this endorsement endorsement realistically help bring haley voters? over to trump? >> i think the endorsement itself doesn't bring that many voters, but i think her doing it today ought to be a flashing

red light to the biden campaign about how much their outreach to these voters is failing. and i'm just over the last few weeks, i have heard from a ton of people who never liked donald trump supported nikki haley, who are saying things like, i'm radicalized, all of it, all of a sudden because of how mortified i am about joe biden. i feel like today's haley endorsement fits this pattern of republicans who've just never really been trump people who were saying i would rather do this than by that ought to send shivers down the spines of people who thought biden was going to be able to attract these folks. >> do you think suddenly they're going to accept donald trump? >> they are currently accepting him because of biden on you name it. student loans. israel you go down the line. they are currently accepting it into their hearts because of how much they do not like this president, maria did the biden campaign in prison and biden for that matter, make a mistake and not more assertively aggressively going after the nikki haley voters. oh, they've been pretty assertive wolf and

this is one of the things i wanted to point out, an underscore in this conversation of the two candidates between joe biden and donald trump? >> only joe biden has actually welcomed nikki haley's voters to his campaign. they have run ads in battleground states to these voters about all of the issues that those voters care about. two women to independence, to moderates they are having back-channel conversations with nikki haley's donors i actually disagree a little bit with my friends scott here because i have heard from a lot of those voters as well. and you're amazing cnn's amazing reporters have been on the ground talking to a lot of the folks who wanted to vote for nikki haley? >> yes. some of them say, yeah, i guess i'm going to think about voting for donald trump but many more have said, there is no way in hell i will vote for donald trump if nikki haley does not the candidate. and the fact that there is so much support for her, even as she left the race, i think should be chilling. and is a huge

challenge. nikki haley uncovered a huge deficit for donald trump that he has been absolutely nothing to try to fix. >> so you think it's bad that next the haley endorse donald trump, you think that's bad for trump i think i don't think it was actually a full-throated endorsement. >> if that wasn't endorsement then yeah, i actually don't think it's good for him and endorsement means look, voters, people who voted for me go out and vote for this person. i'm going to go campaign for this person. i'm gonna go raise money for this reaction gave him that may still come. this is step but she still wants to have a future in the party when she got out of the race and we had all this conversation about the haley voters. we always i think, like any right. analysis of this would say the vast preponderance of those voters voting in the republican party, are likely to return home to the republican nominee, kinda like nikki haley just did. now, beyond just her statewide totals, what's so interesting is if you go inside the states where she even did more

business, got more votes than she did statewide. or in the suburban areas, it's not just that which didn't arizona. it's what she did. america county. it's which you did in the philia suburbs. i think that is still on the to-do list of donald trump of making sure those voters are part of his coalition he does need those voters in the i agree with scott. i'm not sure this automatically brings those voters, but clearly, this is one of the best pieces of political news that the trump team has had in quite some time, the last holdout from his rivals saying is getting the national, it's the national security voters she was a national security candidate, a traditional reagan national security candidate. and i think a lot of the people who were voting for her for those reasons have recently become it's a very, very happy with she was she was also somebody who gave the republican party hope that republican party can make a dent on the issue of choice because according to latter republicans, i didn't agree. my dear friend alice, are different. alice always talked about this, that nikki haley actually talked to

republicans in a much more centered nuanced way about the issue of choice. she is now not i mean, she's still might do that. but donald trump certainly won't. he's already talked about some ways that are going to continue to tell those voters. this is not a party for you. i don't want to give women the right to make decisions big question for donald trump is, and we might know the answer to this is, can he be magnanimous? >> well, we know the answer now that she has made the first overture, and i don't think it was full-throated, but it she said she is endorsing him. >> that's plenty will he now say thank you, nikki haley doesn't have to say she's going to be his vice president, but will he come out and put his arm around her and say, thank you very much. and i hope you're voters we'll see you tomorrow. he would but he hasn't thus far and joe biden well, it's point out, i will

point out that earlier this month and david, you remember this trump posted this. nikki haley is not under considered duration for the vp slop, but i wish her well well, that was yeah. >> the i wish her well, maybe was the entree that like harvey listen, joe biden doesn't need all of nikki haley voters there's he needs some slice of them and there are probably some of them that are still within reach but today, she showed that she's in trump's can scott this has been a bumpy week as we all know, a couple of weeks for trump, given his trial in new york hello, that so why do you think she's making this endorsement now yeah. >> i'm with glory. it didn't seem like it was planned for today. it felt like it was in response to something but look, the campaign is short. i mean, we're already here in may. we were convictions are coming up and eventually, if you want to be seen in your party as being part of the winning team and go in for the big touchdown. you gotta get on the field at some point now is as good a time as any. and the campaign is all we've got debates on the schedule. it's time for people to lose out there alone.

>> also everyone else had done endorsed him. it was time for her to do something that you did that today buddy. >> thank you very, very much. just just ahead. new reporting about but another provocative flag flown at a second home of the supreme court justice samuel alito. and what the judge in the trump classified documents case appears to be signaling right now about her views on new bids get the charges tossed a new group. >> this assignment in my bag like a bunch of groceries. are these cheese and greens just contemplate freedom you can take your eyes off the new 20 24 jeep wrangler in gladiator sheep, there's only one top off this memorial day with 2000 bonus cash allowance. i'm 2024 jeep wrangler gas-powered models and gop-led here stopped by your local dealer for a test drive and experience open-air freedom today, my husband and i

virginia home. this time it's the so-called appeal to heaven flag. you're seeing it there flown outside his home on long beach island in new jersey now it has a history dating back to the revolutionary war, but it has recently become a symbol for supporters of former president donald trump. now as for this most recent revelation and justice alito has not responded to these pictures published by the new york times. we did hear from justice alito on friday. he released statement saying that the inverted flag outside is virginia home that was placed there leading up to joe biden's inauguration in 2021. he said it was placed there by his wife response to a spat with neighbors as for this time with the revelations of the flag outside his new jersey beach home, our team has reached out to the court we have not not heard back. it's interesting and maybe important to note are producer on capitol hill actually saw this same appeal to heaven flag flying outside house speaker mike

jones johnson's office just tonight. >> she talked to the speaker and he said, it's george washington's flag. it goes back to the founders era. i've always flown that flight it has nothing to do with that. when asked about associations with stop the steal or donald trump. now of course, will speaker johnson is a politician. justice alito it's really supposed to be an impartial justice here. one of nine sitting on the country's highest court and already from last week, we heard democrats calling for justice league to recuse himself from any cases associated with january 6. and there are two that we are awaiting rulings on one actually involves whether certain capital fighters charged with obstruction can still be charged under a particular federal statute. the other case, of course, is the big one, whether donald trump's should be immune from criminal prosecution as it relates to his january 6 case. we have not heard any comment from justice alito about those calls to recuse. and we also haven't heard a statement from

justice alito about this most recent revelation from the new york times. but no doubt, wolfe calls, could keep growing now that this latest revelation has come out. the new york times, we will be watching the reaction, jessica. thank you very much joining us now, donald trump's former national security adviser, john bolton, these also the former us ambassador to the un ambassador. thanks for joining us so as you just heard a second flag related to the january 6 events was flown outside. another one of justice, samuel alito foams. does this in your mind raised concerns about whether he can impartially serve on the us supreme court absolutely not. >> i think it is outrageous outrageous and unacceptable for people to take a flag from the american revolution and say that because some january 6 protesters fluid that it's now unacceptable to fly that flag.

and i'd like to hear a democratic party politician say that expressly you know, the january 6 people flew a lot of flags. the gadsden flag don't tread on me. they don't have the right or the ability to expropriate a patriotic symbol of the united states and then have everybody else say it belongs to them and condemn sam alito or anybody else for flying that flag. i think what's unacceptable? is this rush to find some reason to criticize alito you know, i first heard about the upside down american flag as being a january 6 symbol. when i read about it in the new york times, about a week ago so i have no idea what was on justice alito's wipes mind when she flew it but if somebody hadn't told me that they thought it was a symbol of the january 6 people. i wouldn't have guessed it. i would've thought maybe she was giving the finger to one of her neighbors and

that may not be appropriate either. but i'm telling you it's gotten to a point where people tried to take symbols of american patriotism and turn them against supreme court justices is over the line, but surely us supreme court justice the using these flags that are clearly right now, at least have some political implications, as well as some historic some history there. but currently they have political implications should a us supreme court justices do not seven that is just wrong well, they do have political implications of these flags well they date on there. i don't have political implications. you may 6 turning my january 6 used by those who supported the insurrection is, you know, and this other flag is also no, i didn't know that. i can well, i didn't know that until i read it and that's why hi, it's controversial here's the bottom line. >> are controversial for

liberals. >> no listened wolf. it's controversial for liberals who have it in for sam alito, it's not controversial for me and i'm as against donald trump as anybody i know in this country sorry, bottom line, as far as you're concerned, he should not recuse himself for the sake of the country well, if that's an unfair question, he should certainly not recuse himself. there's no indication that it was intended to express any support for january the sixth. and i tell you, those who are using this tactic against alito now it will we'll come back to haunt them. well, i will tell you that those who supported the insurrection are using his flags displays as a basis of support for them well look it's an american patriotic flag. i support the right of anybody to fly it, period. >> are let's talk about nikki haley's announcement today. you know, her well from serving during the trump administration together, you say trump is dangerous and unfit for office much like she did when she was a republican candidate for the

presidential, for the republican nomination. so what's your reaction to her announcement today well i'm disappointed. >> i think she's obviously made a political calculation that it's in her interests to support donald trump i am disappointed, but but a lot of republican because are making the same calculation because the performance of the biden administration has been so appalling. and i believe if donald trump wins the election on election night, his victory speech should start off by thanking joe biden and the democratic party for nominating biden against him you want to share with us who you are going to vote for and it was yeah, i've said before on your network, in fact, as in 2020, i'm going to write in the name of dick cheney. i don't think biden or trump for fit to be president. and i'm not going to ruin my vote by voting for

somebody who's not competent to hold the job. >> you've also warned ambassador that trump would cause irreparable we will damage to us national security in a second term that he could withdraw from nato. you've suggested that he could embolden america's enemies. what are the stakes of a second trump term? and as nikki haley helping to enable that well, i noticed that in her remarks, at least is reported in the press. she said that she wanted to support a president who would back america's allies and hold its enemies accountable. and that's not donald trump, that's not as record in office and i'm very much afraid that would not be his his performance if he did get a second term i don't know what nicky's calculations are i hope she's not thinking of being as vice president because i think for trump, the two the two questions that are most important in interviewing prospective vice presidents are, number one, do you think

the 2020 election was stolen? and number two, if i asked you to do something akin to what i asked mike pence to do on january the six. >> would you do it? >> and anybody who answers yes to either one of those questions, i think is disqualified to be vice president, but i think if she's interested in in that nomination, she's going to have to answer a firm primitively somewhere another to those two questions are always good to get your blunt views ambassador john bolton. >> thank you very much. we'll continue this conversation, hopefully down the road coming up. what the judge in the trump classified documents case appears to be signaling right now. about her views. i knew bids to get the charges tossed and as the trump hush money trial nears its historic conclusion in the coming days i'll ask michael cohen's lawyer about the impact of her clients testimony and the importance of jury instructions being finalized right now by the judge with armor all a

little bit of this protects you from a lot of that armor all west work more clean by $20, get five back through may 31st. >> do you want to close out should i normally, i'd hold but taking the gains as smart here feel more competent. what's doc ratings from jpmorgan analysts in the chase app, when you've got a decision to make, the answer is jp morgan wallen? with management, fashion moves fast so we partner with verizon to take our operations to the next level with a custom private 5g networks, we get more control of production efficiencies and greater agility. >> that's enterprise intelligence. it's your vision, it's your verizon with blown aids allergies don't have to be scary. >> spraying flow net's daily gives you long-lasting, non drowsy relief. >> flonase, all good also try are allergy headache, and nighttime pills i've always

been an active person biking, running, but yoga, it's really special to me. >> it's definitely a big part and who i am and i love the way it makes me feel. but there was a time not long ago when i felt i had to accept the idea of hanging up this old yoga mat. you see, i have symptomatic obstructive hcm, which left me so short of breath. i just couldn't get out here, making me feel like a xander in my own life. so i talked to my cardiologist and he told me about camps, iowa. he said kim's ios works by targeting what's causing my obstructive hcm so he prescribed and i'm so thankful he did. >> kim's ios is used to treat adults with symptomatic obstructive hcm. kim silas may improve your symptoms and your ability to be active. kim's ios may cause serious side effects, including heart failure that can lead to death this that's increased if you develop a serious infection or irregular heartbeat or when taking certain other medicines. so do not stop, start or change medicines or the dose without telling your health care provider, you must have echocardiogram before during treatment, seek help if you experience new or worsening

>> doctors preferred better science, better results. >> i, hanako montgomery and tokyo and this is cnn tonight

it's not clear when the judge in the trump classified documents case will rule on new efforts to get the criminal charges thrown out. seeing that senior justice corresponded evan perez is in fort pierce, florida right now. that's where back-to-back hearings were held earlier today, evan you are in the courtroom. what can you tell us what we spent about five hours in court today? >> there were two hearings that the judge was presiding over all of them having to do with motions by the former president and his co-defendants to try to dismiss the charges the judge seemed scatter sceptical of those efforts. she said that a lot of the arguments appeared to be things that could be handled before a jury. however, she did say she did. she did seem sympathetic to the idea that she believed that jurors may have a hard time understanding some of the complexities of what she said this case presents. i'll read

you just a part of what she said from the bench. he says it's going to be hard for someone to detect what's different with these counts. now, that's part of the argument that the defendants have been making they're saying that there's technical issues that were with the indictment of why they believe some of these charges should be tossed there was also a heated part of the hearing where where the defense there was an attorney, stan woodward, who represents walt nauta one of the co-defendants. he accused prosecutors of essentially mentioning the fact that he was up for a potential judgeship as a way to try to get him and his client to try to cooperate with the investigation that prompted a response from david harb icu is one of the prosecutors and he said this was simple fantasy. now well at the end of this hearing these two hearings, a judge did not make a ruling and one of the things we keep waiting for wolf is for

a potential new trial date. the judge had canceled the trial, which was supposed to get started sometime this week. she has not yet to set a trial date, but of course, as you know, will have several more months before the election and the judge has already scheduled multiple additional hearings for here in st. fort pierce. >> well, and some were sharing our viewers pictures of those boxes of highly classified documents lying all around mar-a-lago, very, very open open area. indeed, aren't evan? thank you very much. i want to move on to donald trump's hush money trial right now tonight, the judge in that trial is working to finalize jury instructions, aiming to present them to both sides. lawyers tomorrow jurors are on track to get the case next week after closing arguments on tuesday, their deliberations could potentially hinge on the testimony of the prosecution's

star witness, michael cohen joining us now, michael cohen's lawyer, danya perry. danielle. thanks very much for joining us as your client, michael cohen, confident that the prosecutors successfully tied trump to the alleged illegal activity in this case and met their burden beyond a reasonable doubt look, the trial is still pending, so i'll leave his feelings aside. >> and what matters here? the judge will instruct the jury not feelings, but facts, cold, hard facts. and michael cohen did lay out in what must have been excruciating detail for the defense many, many facts that if believed, will establish the prosecution's case beyond a reasonable doubt. facts which were corroborated by some 20 witnesses and a mountain of evidence. phone records. and in fact, contemporaneous notes that whatever the defense wants to say about mr. cohen, he could not have made up. they were outside of his control,

including the famous exhibit 35, which was allen weisselberg's contemporaneous notes about exactly how the illegal campaign contribution what's going to be paid back as legal expenses to mr. cohen so look, i'll tell you how i felt. i felt that his testimony came at great both on direct and across and redirect and re-cross so but we'll see the jury will have it in its hands on tuesday and all that matters is the way that they received the testimony, as you know, danya, judge merchan, he potentially could decide on jury instructions as soon as tomorrow, how significant do you expect the instructions will be to the ultimate verdict in this case? the instructions are always critical. >> it's the last thing a jury hears before they go into the jury room to deliberate. and this i was in the courtroom for a week and i observed the jury closely they are a they appear to be very attentive group.

they appear to be in line with each other, which is always interesting. to look for and always something that prosecution will be happy to observe. and they nodded along with a judge when he would give them just their ordinary day-to-day instructions about not to look at the press and not to talk about the case or form an opinion. and so i've ever reason to believe they will take his instructions very, very seriously. and there are some serious matters that are under consideration. so while it's not the most scandalous or scintillating part of the trial for the press corps in fact, it is of utmost critical for the jury. >> they've heard five weeks now of testimony and now they have to lay those facts onto this legal scaffolding and apply the facts to the law as instructed by the judge. >> always important and certainly important in this case, it's very important indeed, danya perry. thank you very much for joining us and just ahead we're following new developments on the newest lawsuit against sean diddy combs, where another one woman
