5:00 am
healthy you are eating, a new study says that adding in even a small amount of ultraprocessed foods means you're still facing increased risks of serious disease, seen as meg tirrell has more detail on this. >> meg, what are you learning? >> okay. this morning this study focuses on neurological issues associated with ultraprocessed foods. they look to add to simply what folks aid they looked at more than 14,000 people over a decade. they filled out surveys about what they were eating and what they find is that a ten 10% increase in ultraprocessed food consumption i was associated with the 16% raised risk of cognitive impairment and an 8% increased risk of stroke. and that risk was higher for black participants in this study than for white participants, 15% for black participants. and of course, we know that ultraprocessed foods are really everywhere in our food supply, right now, if you don't not identify them, it's really when you turn over for the label on your food and you can identify the ingredients included there include ingredients that you wouldn't cook within your
5:01 am
kitchens. a lot of ingredients like sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavors, things like that. they make up 57% on average of the adult food consumption in this country. and even more for kids. so things like sodas, packaged snacks chicken, nuggets, things like that. a lot of the research now is focused on trying to figure out which ultraprocessed foods are worse for folks, but we are seeing study after study pile up warning about the health risks. >> so the recommendation is if you can eat more whole foods, that's the way to go because they saw decreased risk in these neurological issues for when you ate less ultraprocessed foods guys, it's great to see you back. >> thank you so much newhour, cnn news central starts right now he, is back on the trail and headed for a democratic stronghold. donald trump is campaigning in the bronx and says he could turn new york from blue to red his campaign strategy and the surprising supporter he just gained just
5:02 am
ahead. also on the heels of settling one lawsuit against their hometown families torn apart by the eu while the tragedy are filing lawsuits against their school district and dozens of officers. and at any moment, the doj could slept the country's largest concert promoters odor with a massive antitrust lawsuit, could that end up making it easier for you to see your favorite artists on stage. i'm amara walker. would john berman and kate bolduan. and this a cnn news central this morning, how about a thank you radio silence from donald trump after nikki haley said she would vote for him in the general election nothing out loud from trump, nothing on social media as far as we can tell, nothing from his lawyers or kids admittedly, it was not much of an endorsement from haley, but there are still a lot of haley supporters casting votes for her in primaries
5:03 am
months after she dropped out. >> now, trump could address haley or more importantly, her voters when he takes the stage in the bronx later today, he holds a rally in a place where president biden won 83% of the vote. in 2020. cnn political director, and sometimes cnn news central anchor david chaldean joins me this morning. david, i know you're aware running the yankees who play in the bronx haven't won a world series since 2009. so what does donald trump think he can get out of this trip i don't think bronx county is going to become a battleground county of this election season. >> but first of all, let's set the stage here. why is he doing a rally in the bronx at all? well, that's because his team thought perhaps that the trial would still be ongoing and that he would be in new york on a thursday and not in this pause moment waiting for summation here. so making the best use of his geography, but there is also a clear strategy it plays here to do this in the bronx
5:04 am
because as you know, john and we've seen in survey after survey after survey, donald trump may be a republican nominee for president, who is poised to do better with the african american and hispanic vote, then we've seen in history here. and so this is clearly an effort to try and dig into some of joe biden's core support. and it happens to be core support where biden has been showing some weakness of late yeah, it's interesting. >> tom suozzi, a democrat from long island, just told me a few minutes ago, he goes, look, bronx voters care about the issues that donald trump is stressing like immigration and whatnot and democrats need to pay attention to that. let's talk about nikki haley supporters david, a lot of the campaigns we've covered, if an opponent had come out and said, i'm voting for you there would be all kinds of statements of gratitude and whatnot. i mean, what do we expect from donald trump? how much does he need to reach out to nikki haley supporters? >> well, she re-issued that
5:05 am
challenge when she said she was going to vote for him, she's sort of re-issued the challenge to donald trump to do exactly that. john to reach out to her voters, as you noted, she's getting in some places 20% of a primary vote in a primary that she dropped out of months ago. and isn't competitive anymore. >> but i think listen i think this whole conversation since nikki haley dropped out about haley voters has been a little inflated, right? >> i think for a large chunk of folks voting in a republican primary they end up going home to the republican nominee. now, obviously these are trump resistant republican primary voters, and they have questions around it. >> but it's not about winning over all the hadley voters for trump and biden, right trump would like as many of them to come home as possible. >> biden needs to collect some slice of them. >> if he's going to piece together back his winning coalition from 2020. and where those haley voters are in those battleground states. >> it's in the sun burbs that's where she is performed best. that is where donald
5:06 am
trump is weakest and where joe biden is trying to exploit this. so yes donald trump, in any normal realm, you would say as a candidate should give a nod to this safe. thank you. like you said, do some outreach to these voters, but of course, donald trump also feels like, hey, nikki haley just gotten lines so so i expect your voters to do the same i admittedly spend too much time on social media and have over the last 24 hours. >> and i detected in some corners for your help, i know a hint of like dismay. how can nikki haley do this? how surprising is it really that someone who ran into republican primary is ultimately endorsing the winter of that republican primary. and why do you think nikki haley is doing it in this way? >> so i don't think this is a terribly surprising development. if you do the political calculation for nikki haley, where else was she going to land in this race? it just doesn't make sense now, she has to combat all the videotape of her strong criticism of
5:07 am
donald trump. but she told are dana bash just in january new hampshire that trump and biden are equally bad. well, let yesterday, when she when she said she was gonna vote for him, she said biden's of catastrophe, trump is less than perfect in some of these issues. she cares about. so i guess she no longer sees them as equally bad. what changed between january now, that's a question for nikki haley to answer, but i agree with you. it is not a surprise that somebody who wants a few sure in the republican party that we know is donald trump's republican party right now. at the end of the de comes to the conclusion, she's going to cast her ballot for donald trump david chaldean. >> great to see you videotape. it can be a hell of a thing. >> thanks so much for being with let's talk more about this and let's also show folks maybe the advice that nikki haley had for donald trump with regard to her voters this morning, listen trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted
5:08 am
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 has donald trump done anything to win those voters over? >> they have clearly, they have clearly been a target to be one. by the biden campaign, as well as biden made any headway. let's talk about all of this scene granted is here with me. he's been looking into these questions. >> we've talked quite a bit about the large vote share that nikki haley has been bringing in, even in the republican primaries since she's dropped out. >> i mean, when we're talking big vote shares in more than a dozen states since she dropped. but when you look at the historical context, how is trump doing with regard to voters? occurs after their opponents drop? >> yeah, i think this rhetoric over this protest vote to be honest with you, kate is a little bit overblown, so i want to take a look back through history, performance after opponents drop that. these are non incumbents and presidential primaries. >> i want you to look through the years, right? >> mitt romney was getting
5:09 am
about 71% of the vote after his opponent dropped out, donald trump back in 2016, 74%. joe biden last time around 77%, the one who's actually getting the highest share after his opponents dropped out is actually donald trump this time around with 81%. this is actually a very strong performance for a non incumbent after his opponents dropped out the protests load is actually at a historic hello. so yeah, nikki haley, sometimes getting north of 20% of the vote in these primers. but that's not unusual. what is unusual is she's not doing it all over the place. donald trump's actually running historically strong fernand incumbent and a presidential primary after his opponents dropout. >> i think that answers my next question, but then who is most likely to win over? think he haley's making the case that donald trump needs to appeal to her voters between biden and trump, some of them were talking about like voted for biden in 20 and then they voted for nikki haley in this primary where who's most likely canada? >> nikki haley supporters are kind of actually a little bit split here. >> so this is the biden versus trump margin among haley's
5:10 am
primary sports. if you go back to 2020 hey, look joe biden actually won these voters by 16 points. this is actually a fairly favorable republican primary vote for joe biden, but jump ahead to 2024, who they say they'll support. donald trump leads amongst them by about four points, which is actually an improvement for donald trump from where he was in 2020. so keep in mind that this four-point margin, joe biden still getting a substantial portion of this. haley's support, but this is imposed in which donald trump leads. this is impulse that donald trump leads. so it's not surprising that these folks are still voting for nikki haley because there much more likely to vote for joe biden and donald trump than the regular primary voter. but even so, donald trump's still doing better then he was four years ago, which mattress the poles overall, which is what david challenge that phrase of like coming home in the end is kind of what it, some of this suggests what about joe biden? >> how is he doing in terms of an incumbent in a primer? >> yeah. everyone's saying that down trump's doing week, week, week. it's actually joe biden in my mind in the primaries, that's doing week,
5:11 am
week, week at least relative let's have to history because right now he's getting at 87% of that primary vote for it and come up. but that's actually the lowest that is actually the lowest for any candidate since george hw bush back in 1,992 when pat buchanan challenge him, of course, we all remember at least i remember that george hw bush lost reelection in the fall to bill clinton. >> i think a lot of people remember that i like to think a lot of people, maybe not in your generation maybe. and i think people, people may remember that hearing people my age don't remember that i don't remember that panic in the crowd. nine people killed after a stage collapses in mexico at a camp payne rally. and a candidate for president had to be taken to the hospital. also super bowl champ patrick mahomes weighing in on his kicker, harrison butker controversial company mess meant address what the quarterback is saying this morning and a new look at housing prices shows the american dream of ownership is getting further out of reach

soon as today, the justice department and several states are expected to file an antitrust lawsuit against live nation. >> now, that is a company that owns ticket master the suit is expected to alleged antitrust violations, in part due to ticketmaster's market dominance for more, i'm joined now by cnn senior crime and justice reporter katelyn polantz hello, kaitlan. so i guess the big question about this as will this benefit? consumers? could it and hopefully lowered ticket prices for us yeah, well, that's what the justice department is hoping to do by filing this lawsuit. >> and if they are successful, they hope that they could reduce the prices of tickets concerts, sporting events that live nation cells through its subsidiary ticket master, and that they also would reduce the service fees that this ticket provider has. now, taken. master is dominant. live nation is dominant with venues, with ticket sales across the country, but they have said
5:18 am
previously their leadership has said that pricing that for their events including things like bianna tour of last year, taylor swift's erez tour where a lot of this caused public blowback and political blowback because of some issues they have, they've said that the pricing is set by artists and their teams and that they've been able to cut out scalpers with their process. now, the justice department is essentially going to be accusing this company of having an unfair monopoly that really hurts consumers. >> but while this is going to be a major lawsuit by the justice department, it's very likely to be fought extensively in court by live nation as that goes on. >> we are waiting to see when that suit is filed, potentially as early as today, not just from just department, also potentially by states as well. amara. >> all right. we will see how this plays out. caitlin polantz. thank you very much john all right. one of harvey weinstein's accusers speaking

5:25 am
week photo shows an inverted us flag also a symbol used by writers in, on january 6, they showed that flag flying outside of justify alito's virginia hope joining us right now is democratic senator dick durbin of illinois, second highest ranking democrat in the senate, and the chair of the judiciary committee, which means we have a lot to get to as always this morning, let's start with what john was just talking about. >> those senator on monday after that first flag was reported. you said justice alito should recuse himself from any cases involving trump and his administration. now, after this second flag situation, if he does not recuse voluntarily, what do you do? what can you do? >> three courses under the constitution are very limited, but let's look at what we have before us. the first flag flying the american flag upside down as it so the distress signal that is home, he dismissed as a momentary emotional laps of his wife,
5:26 am
making that decision now we have the second flag, which has some symbolism on the radical right, being flowing. it is vacation residence. and you start to wonder, is this just a chance in discretion or is it a conscious declaration of his mega loyalty? i mean that is. not expected when it comes to the supreme court, we expect the men and women on that court to be above this sort of activity. >> you, when you say when you start to wonder which do you think it is, senator? >> listen, i don't think it's a coincidence in the second instance, i think he's speaking pretty clearly as to his political loyalties. and it's a shame it, gets right down to it. our courts and justices don't have an army to enforce their opinions. they don't have the money to establish a an account for medium yeah control. what they have is the respect for integrity of the american people and this really raises a serious question when we have someone in the highest court in the land who's
5:27 am
sporting these political flags, flags at his residence and a vacation home it is something you've been pushing for more transparency and ethics reform. >> the supreme court, but it's been something you've been long vocal about, and there's a long road ahead. if any of that does come to fruition, i want to ask you something about something else that's happening in the senate today. you all are making a new push to bring the bipartisan border deal to the floor for a second vote. >> but senator, you're now losing some senate democrats. >> chord booker voted for the deal months ago but he announced that he's not going to this time noting that last time it was attached to the foreign aid money that he said needed to get through. if you're losing democrats and you're not gaining republicans why bring it to the floor even with all the democrats were not going to pass it, we need 60 votes. >> what we're calling to the floor is jim link for serverless republican senator from oklahoma's work to create a bipartisan bill with senators murphy in cinema. this bill was accepted and in fact touted as
5:28 am
the answer to our problems by many and then along came donald trump's declaration that his loyal republican should step away from it. and that he would accept the blame for that decision. well, he should be blamed for it. this was a bipartisan effort. this should move forward. >> we never expected to get all of the democrats. >> there are some differences in opinion, but with republican help, we should be able to pass a good bipartisan bill like this one. >> but when you talked about james langford he's even spoke out last week. he went to the senate floor. this republican senator, and he called bringing it back to the floor, if you will. he called it a political move in a floor speech, she said it was unserious and a messaging bill as he wrong he is wrong, it's a very serious undertaking and we respect to the whole work he put into it. he really poured himself into this effort to make a bipartisan bill come before the senate and let me tell you when it comes to immigration reform. clearly on the face of it, we need by partisan support for 60 votes, but any major requires
5:29 am
by partisan support in this one, in particular, which has the support of president biden, would do significant things to stop the flow of fentanyl lins in the united states? it's the control, the flow of people coming across our border. i think those are two priorities which america would like to see us move forward on a fortunately, the public and leader donald trump has told them do nothing. keep this issue alive until november. that's exactly the opposite of what the american people feel. >> i will know though, james-lange for even pushed ahead to come to work through that deal, even when donald trump was telling republicans that he didn't want them to vote for it that first time around finally, we are learning that today the justice department's expected to sue live nation. and what will be a huge antitrust lawsuit alleging that for years the parent company of ticketmaster's, we know it's abusing its industry dominance to harm concert-goers. you have held hearings on this. i remember watching them and even in january, do you think the
5:30 am
justice department is right and moving on this, do you think live nation is operating as a monopoly? >> i won't make a judgment on the outcome of any case, but i will tell you the action by the anti-trust department as long overdue. it's been dormant on a chip stood up and spoken up and it's coming forward now to time when consumers across america, and who were concerned about the cost of tickets. but also then the other things that are being controlled by a corporate interest. i think it's long overdue. >> senator. thank you so much for coming on. really appreciate it amara, families and uvalde settle a lawsuit against the city, but more legal action against officers and the state is coming also growing concern this morning over the birds flew for only the third time ever an american becomes infected. what you need to know every weekday morning, cnn's five things has what you

5:36 am
imam's reza, which is the what are the most holy place. and actually here in iran and also the place where the president who died in that helicopter crash will be laid to rest very soon. there's a big pre-session that's happening, right? now with a call for all the president making its way to that, try to the shrine of reza. and as you can see, their case on those images were seeing in front of us actually all right. now as well, there are literally, we believe hundreds of thousands of people here on the streets that are chanting, that are pledging their support for the deceased president. one of the things that we have to keep in mind because we are in my shot here and the northeast over iran is that many ways this is really the political and also the spiritual home land, right? where you see the president who was killed in that helicopter crash. in fact, his father-in-law is actually still the prayer leader at the shrine that you see right behind me. and in 2021, when he was elected the first place that ebrahim race we went to, was this very shrine that you see behind me. i was actually on hand back to give a political speech. there. so if you look at the support free bremmer,
5:37 am
hesiod, and also for us derivative policies that we've received the us of course, some of that aggressive policy towards israel as well. a lot of that springs from here and a lot of support spring. so get out in the crowd a little earlier today and we asked people how things are going to move forward in iran now and they say they hope that those policies are going to be continued. so this is really one of those places where he remembered crazy really had that very large support really throughout his presidency at now, where we can see those crowds turned out as his body, as the coffin with his body he's making its way to that. if bob reza shrine, the after that helicopter crash, of course, killed not only the president of iran, but also several others as well. before admitted saint up near abdullah yahoo of course, also was absolutely instrumental in a lot of those policies. again, number also very aggressive towards the us as well. so big woman right now for this country. and really the culmination point of those processions that we've been seeing over the past couple of days as those passwords have been going around the country
5:38 am
here in iran now the brain raisi, the president of iran, will be laid to rest in that trial that you see right behind me, the iranians have already said they're going to have presidential elections here in this country on june 28. a new president moving forward friend, so important to have you there to witness it firsthand. thank you so much for your according as always, amara there are now two reported cases of bird flu in humans here in the us after a farm worker in michigan tested positive, it's part of an ongoing outbreak of the virus and birds and cattle nationwide though health officials say the risk is still low for the general public, cnn chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta is joining us with more sanjay. so how serious is this second case? and do we know how he got infected? >> well, overall, they still say that this is of low concern for the average population, average people in the population.
5:39 am
>> but what we know is that this person basically had the same sorts of symptoms as we heard about what this most recent patients. >> so mostly just eye symptoms because i redness, swelling, conjunctive vitis, it's called people know it as pinky. we know he's a farm worker and was being monitored because of exposure to livestock there are monitoring programs that are going on to basically try and catch this case so basically had an ice swab which subsequently came back as having part of the bird flu. there are still some more additional testing going on. but this person is recovered. >> what we haven't seen yet most importantly, amara is there's any evidence of human to human transmission. >> so did that person then transmitted to somebody else? we haven't seen evidence of that yet. >> and of course, you want to put things in context, right? dr. sanjay gupta, because we're talking about just to human cases. but there is some level of concern. i mean, should we be worried, should we be looking at the food supply, looking at martens let me let
5:40 am
me give you some context. >> so if you take a snapshot of the current outbreak here in the united states, as you mentioned, to human cases it's mainly in birds, mainly in poultry, 90 million poultry and these cattle outbreaks, as you mentioned. but i've been covering this for a long time. if you go back in time and you say, okay, let's just look globally, sort of what has happened with this outbreak over time. here, here's what we see. so some 800, 887 human cases 462 of those were fatal. again, this is over about a 20 year time period and that affected 23 countries not that many cases, but look at that fatality rate that's over 50% now, over time, take a look at this graph. i broke this down as well for you over time, the numbers of cases have gone down and the overall fatality rate has also gone down. so those two things are trending in the right direction. >> but part of the reason
5:41 am
people pay such close attention to h5n1 is because a little bit of the history here, even though the numbers were small, when you start to see something that creates a fatality rate that's well over 50 percent. >> that's going to get people's attention right now. it's of low concern because you don't see any kind of sustained transmission. but that, but that's really why people are keeping a close eye on this. well, i'm glad we had this graphic because seeing the numbers go down, i mean, it is relatively coming fruiting. >> what do we know about efforts to monitor transmission in humans and in animals so for example, this farm worker that we're talking about, the second patient part of a monitoring program. >> if you are exposed to infected livestock for ten days, people are observed to see if they develop any symptoms. there have been some 300 farm workers that have been observed 37 of them developed symptoms, got tested. and as we know, two of those tests came back positive what you're seeing on the screen, there is something that is relatively
5:42 am
new, something that really came about during the covid, pandemic wastewater surveillance. so looking in wastewater and seeing basically do we see any signals of this particular flu virus? and several areas around the country, you do see some signal if they see signal that can be an early warning, they then go test that ther there to see is that in fact h5n1 or not. those are the sort of monitoring programs that are going on now, which are much more sophisticated. for example, than even a decade ago. there's also push. i would say to start monitoring pigs as well i'm right, i think it's pigs more than any other animal that really are the precursor, maybe to what we would see in humans because they share many of the same receptors as humans. so there are being monitored in some areas as well. >> always lovely to see you, dr. sanjay gupta. thank you so much. >> john so new lawsuits are on the way from the families devastated by the school shooting in uvalde, texas, families announced they are suing the school district and
5:43 am
92 law enforcement officers fresh off reaching a $2 million settlement with the city itself. 19 children and two teachers lost their lives at robb elementary in may of 2020 to cnn shimon prokupecz is in texas this morning. shimmer, what are you learning? >> yeah. tomorrow john is is the two-year mark of this horrific event. >> the horrific failures on that day. and so lawsuit kind of was a big step for this community. they didn't get everything they want. it certainly monetarily. but the big thing in all of this, the attorney talked about well, yesterday was trying to get the community to heal, trying to get them towards a place where it's not so divided. that's the big problem right now. in the community, he said this is sort of called an a ray of sunshine in this horrific event the community continues to reel from this. the families obviously continue to suffer. tomorrow marks a a momentous
5:44 am
day. obviously in this and that it's two years and so little hash changed in the community. we heard from the attorney who talked about this settlement. take a listen to what he said there will be lawsuits forthcoming. >> most most immediately against the state of. texas, which has done nothing but all. but burden this town before the shooting by not giving them the resources they need. prevented these families from getting the information they need and then blaming blaming the city and so what this lawsuit is going to do, it's going to basically sue each of the officers from the texas department of public safety. >> that's the state police essentially sue them individually to try and get some more moneys to hold accountability because really
5:45 am
no one on the state level or the city level has been held accountable. the other thing is the school police chief, who was only in the job for just about a year he suddenly resigned. there was a lot of friction in the community and the other law enforcement agencies with this individual. and so he's resigned but yet again, now, the school police is looking for a new police chief and tomorrow, really the families are going to be gathering. they're gonna be gathering at the cemetery during to honor their loved ones, where we're going to see a candlelight vigil and just a lot of more memories and sort of a really tough, tough day, uh, for this community as really the pain the suffering, and the division in the community just continues. but hopefully this lawsuit and perhaps some accountability at some point, we'll bring some healing to the community. john i know, how much this community means to you, shimon prokupecz, great to have you there. thank you very much. >> i'll see you in an exclusive a woman who accused harvey weinstein of assault is speaking out now why she's says her story was silence for

june 2 at nine on cnn home prices were sky-high and still are sky-high hitting especially hard first-time homebuyers. >> the average price of a home in the united states hit a new record for the month of april, had over $407,000 cnn's matt egan has much more on this, especially when it comes to first-time homebuyers is it just keeping them out of the market? >> is kait aid is so tough out their buyers just faced this impossible one-two punch of high rates and even higher prices. let's look at these pricing numbers just over $407,000 as the medium price up 6% from a year ago. this is the highest prize ever recorded in april. now let's look at the trend here. this time a year ago, prices were actually falling year over year for a bit. and then clearly that trend has stopped. we now have ten consecutive months where prices are rising on an annual basis. in fact, the heating up. this is the biggest
5:51 am
year-over-year increase in over a year. and look, this is happening across the country. all four major regions, seeing price gains, although at different speeds, 4% up year over year in the south, but twice that here in the northeast and look at the west on fire again, a 9% year-over-year increase, two over $600,000. again, that's the median price. that means half the homes were actually selling for more than, than that. >> now, i think as always, this cuts both ways, right? >> if you already own your home, this is good news because it is padding your net worth. it gives you some extra financial flexibility, but we know there's a lot of people out there who are renting. they want to buy but they can't, not with rates. this high and certainly not with prices like this. >> that's why we keep going back to this. but even if it's good for you to sell, you still ended by and look at the rates you're going to be looking at when you went via again, you do you do. >> but there is a silver lining and that's on the sake of size of hopes on the supplies look at this, so we know it's tough out there, right? yeah, slim pick kings, but we actually did see a 9% increase between march
5:52 am
and april in terms of the number of unsold homes, 1.2 million. now, this is still kind of low historically. >> it's about three-and-a-half months of supply, but it is moving in the right direction. >> but i think for any real relief on the affordability front, we need to see rates come down. and before that happens, we need to see inflation cool off. so it's still going to be some time standby, standby. that's good to see. i'm john this morning, kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes is defending his teammates, harrison butker, the chiefs kicker, is in the spotlight over controversial comments he made it a college commencement calling pride month of sin, among many other things. >> cnn's caroll amino is with us this morning. so what's mahomes saying? carolyn? >> well, he's defending his teammate. i mean, harrison butker went viral very viral this month for those controversial commencement speech comments at benedictine college and the private catholic school in kansas when he was there speaking, i mean, this just led to a number of flashpoint discussions like you mentioned around things like
5:53 am
pride month, but also portion also women's role in the workplace and in the home. take a listen i want to speak directly to you briefly because i think it is you, the women who have had the most diabolical lies told to you how many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage? >> and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career. some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but i would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world now, speaking to reporters yesterday, patrick mahomes defended his teammates character while head coach andy reed underscored players freedoms to express their opinions i'm no harrison. >> i've known him for seven years and i judge them by the character that he shows every single day. and that's a good person. that's at someone who cares about the people around them, cares about his family,

5:55 am
overturned conviction in what she says were the efforts to silence her after she accused the former hollywood producer of assaulting her nearly a decade ago cnn's elizabeth wagmeister has more almost like a gut punch why is that happening? >> ambra battilana gutierrez, stunned after a new york appeals court overturned the sex crimes conviction against disgraced movie mobile harvey weinstein, the italian model, giving cnn a wide-ranging interview and new details on previous efforts to keep her silent after she worked with the nypd on a sting operation in 2015, wore a wire and caught this on tape touch my brain come on. >> i'm used to you know, but i'm not to forward with the
5:56 am
case grope gal asked for movie part and secret life of harvey shy accuser. >> i was 22 years old and i was put under accusation of not being truthful and to be a prostitute or not a perfect victim because i i'm a model battilana gutierrez believed then and now the weinstein machine was behind it. all because it wasn't just him. >> i know there is more people behind him that have positions of power that he was using as well. >> but who bought to lana gutierrez believes part of the answer can be found here at former president donald trump's hush money trial that's where former national enquirer boss, david pecker testified to paying off sources
5:57 am
to protect trump's reputation by preventing next get him stories from ever going public. while weinstein's name didn't come up on the stand, this tabloid news organization became a protection racket for the rich and powerful lachlan cartwright, a former editor for the enquirer, who now writes for the hollywood reporter, claims the enquirer protected weinstein two, cartwright claims he was instructed by an editor who worked under pecker to buy bought to lana gutierrez's story, later learning it was to keep it from being told in to protect weinstein, who had a business relationship with the enquirer's parent company, initially, ambra battilana was offered $20,000 by the national enquirer all right. >> they were trying to say like, how much you want and i kept answering nothing. i wanted to tell my story, but i wanted to trust someone cartwright says he was told to raise the stakes to $150,000
5:58 am
for a story that the tabloid could have had for free. >> battilana gutierrez's go between texted back she says no, don't ask. again. cartwright alleges he later learned that a top lawyer for the enquirer spoke to the manhattan da's office in an attempt to disparage battilana gutierrez's credibility and telling them that ambra battilana was trying to sell her story was the complete opposite of what was actually going on. because we were inducing ambra battilana. she wasn't trying to sell her story. i felt sick to my my stomach. the decision not to prosecute came from previous da cy vance, no longer in office. >> he told cnn i have no information that i recall presently that the national enquirer or anyone representing it spoke with our office about selling a story to the enquirer weinstein told cnn through a spokesperson sinn the da's office knew all the facts and passed on this case had they felt they could pursue it, they
5:59 am
would have neither pecker nor the enquirer's new parent company responded to requests for comment battilana gutierrez says she also turned down a hush money from weinstein's lawyers they went up to 300, 700 mammalian and i still turned down every time. >> and then gutierrez, as her brother back in italy, was approached by someone asking about her. >> i got so scared. i remember that i call my lawyer right away. and i just said like whatever they said, just do it, just do it. >> she finally gave in and signed a non-disclosure agreement receiving money and agreeing not to talk weinstein told cnn of the nda, ms gutierrez lawyers controlled those meetings and set the terms for it, adding his legal team later raised reasonable doubt let's about various aspects of her story during cross-examination and his los angeles sex crimes trial, he never faced charges and battilana gutierrez's case,
6:00 am
but she did tell her story to a jury in 2022 as a supporting witness in los angeles where weinstein was convicted on three of seven charges in sentence two 16 years in prison. and at the end of the trial, i spoke to one of the jurors and i remember he said to me, if ambra was tied to charges, i would have felt that harvey weinstein was guilty 100% i see you getting emotional and if you want to take a moment, so no knowing that if maybe i could have just find the right person to release those recordings i wouldn't lose everything i lost and many people would have not been in the position that they are in right now because could have just finished everything in 2015 and our. thanks to elizabeth wagmeister for that report. i knew hour of cnn news central starts now
