noon here on cnn if you ever missed an episode of the lead, you can listen to the show from whence you get your podcasts. >> the news continues on cnn with wolf blitzer, right now in this situation hapappening now, the biden campaign launches a new attack ad warning that donald trump has quotes snapped the president's team, sharpening it's free debate strategy against trump. >> this as robert kennedy jr. is potential as a spoiler, is on display today with his due appeal to the libertarian party also this our wide defense secretary, lloyd austin, is returning to hospital tonight and temporarily transferring power to his deputy the pentagon, sharing new information after the uproar over previous medical treatment that austin kept secret? and china unleashes a show of force around taiwan for a second day, sending an ominous message that the military drills or a test

of beijing's ability to seize power welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i will flips or a urine the situation room tonight, the 2024 presidential races heading into an earlier than usual overdrive with the first biden trump debate, a little over one month away, right here on cnn. the biden campaign is launching a new attack ad. and going public with its playbook against trump cnn's mj lee, and even mckinnon are following the race for us. first to, um, j your the white house, the biden campaign unveiled two new attack ads today include what about the uvalde shooting? tell us about that that's right. >> well, if we are seeing the biden white house and the campaign marking the two year anniversary of the uvalde aldi shooting and tragedy that took so many young lives this ad from the campaign, both honors

the lives lost during that tragedy. two years ago and also alludes to the fact that it was precisely that tragedy that prompted rare legislative action on gun violence here in washington. let's take a look at that ad then we can discuss more coming out of it i'm joe biden and i approve this message a biden campaign official tells me that they believe that specifically the uvalde tragedy, but also in general, the issue of gun violence. but they are both resonating with the latino community. so it is not a coincidence today. it's that this ad is specifically targeting the latino community and latino voters. it's also not a coincidence that if you look at the ad, there's

imagery of an faranda. this is a collection of offerings that are made at an altar. two honore the dead. that is common in mexican culture. so you see what. the thinking was behind this ad. and also very deliberate are the words that we saw on that ad. it said joe biden, expanded background checks and is fighting to ban assault weapon the campaign very much believes, just like the white house does, that whenever they can point to any kind of progress record from the president during his first term that that is always going to be helpful with both voters i'm jay, i understand you also have some new reporting about how the biden campaign is preparing for the end of donald trump's new york hush money trial. >> tell us what you know. >> yeah. listen, wolf, the biden campaign, of course, has no idea exactly what is going to happen. next week is the former president going to be found guilty or not guilty? could there be a mistrial? is it actually even going to come to an end next week? but what they do know is that at some point the trial is going to

end. and so is the coverage that we have seen of the trial that has made it challenging for the biden campaign to break through at times and what they are saying is that they believe that there is going to be more space, more opportunity, more room for the biden campaign to go even more on the offensive. and we are going to see the beginning of a more just more a state of a stage of the campaign, excuse me, that is going to be just more aggressive. if and that is why we saw tt other ad that you alluded to that as narrated by an, a famous actor all, we justt lost our connection with mj lee, but i want to thank mj for her reporting. i want to get to another major political issue, right now, a wildcard in this presidential race, the independent candidate hey, robert kennedy jr. just made a new appeal for support right now and we're watching all of that unfold very closely as well, even mecole is on the scene first, we're going to get

there shortly, but i want to bring in our political experts first step eva, do both these campaigns, the biden campaign and the trump campaign, karen, do they see robert, kennedy jr. potentially is hurting them respectively, or do they see robert kennedy jr. hurting one side more than the other? >> i think they recognize both campaigns, i think are recognizing that he could take away from both of them and in campaigns or a game of inches i've taking from any given sunday, one of my favorite movies that meaning that, you know, you build your coalition block by piece-by-piece. and so even a little bit siphon and we saw how close it wasn't 2020. so 10,000 votes here, 20,000 votes there can really matter. it's part of why you're saying robert kennedy jr. kind of cozying to some of the ideas that don't trump has talked about, like maybe pardoning january 6, rioters. it's also why he's trying to go after younger voters and peel away

from the joe biden coalition what do you think, sarah? he's clearly a spoiler candidate right now. who does he hurt more, potentially, i think unfortunately he hurts trump more really. i really do. i mean, biden scott, his people locked in to some extent, but there's a lot of people on the republican side that don't know where to go. we see that there's still voting for nikki haley. he could be an option for them without having to go all the way over to biden. so it's gonna be an interesting play. and also the anti-vax that's a huge thing. and he's taking voters away from trump on that as well. so instead of issue, both of the standby, i want to go to see you. >> that is even mckinney right now. she's over that libertarian convention here in washington iv rfk junior is speaking he has as he wrapped up his speech, are still speaking right now. and if he is speaking, tell our viewers what he has said yeah, we'll have to be relatively quiet because he is still speaking right now. >> what i can tell you is that this is not his standards stump speech. she's really talking about the history of america in

for sizing up freedom and liberty. this entire thing, this entire address is really tailor-made for this libertarian audience frequently he has we have some free palestine protesters here. we of course know that kennedy is a strong supporter of israel listen kennedy also focusing in this speech on a core grievance and that is he argues he and others were silenced during the pandemic something else that really stuck out i mean, wolf is that this is probably the most pointed attack that he has made against former president donald trump let's listen president trump said that he was going to run america luck of business deal closed down 3.3 million businesses with no due process, no, just compensation in violation of the fifth amendment with a lockdowns, the mass mandates the travel restrictions president trump presided over the greatest restriction on individual liberties.

>> this country is that run-on something else that kennedy has emphasized, wolf is gun-rights. >> he told his crowd i will protect your right to bear arms. that is really in contrast with where kennedy stood on this issue historically he has historically been very critical of the nra historically, he supported an assault weapons ban and it's just one of many policy issues that he's moved to the right on on this campaign. >> you, i understand that both the biden campaign and the trump campaign made their presence known as the convention earlier today, just ahead of rfk junior's speech, tell us about that yeah. >> thank shorted. there are these mobile billboard outside that are attacking him from both the right and the left. i'm not really clear on how impactful that will be for this

audience. the libertarians, i speak to here are very excited to hear from him special eve of again, reporting for us eva. thank you very, very much. want to get back to our political experts and karen, cnn has a new reporting. the president of biden is preparing to needle and thanh trump during the upcoming debate at the end of june, a debate that's gonna be seen as we keep saying right here. all right. i'll see so he's really advertising what he's planning on doing. absolutely. i think they're not making any secret of it, right? they recognize that trump in the same way we've frankly heard during the trials, were his lawyers are hopeful every day he goes into the courtroom that he will stay quiet. basically and maintain the judge's orders. >> i think predictably, once he no longer has that gag order on him, we're going to see the unhinged donald trump that we tend to see at his rally alleys that go on for a couple of hours. >> and so it's wise for the biden campaign and say, you know what we're going to step

back and let the crazy show itself while trying to make substantive points where he can. and let's be honest, we know donald trump is very thin skin, so it will not be hard to get under his skin. and joe biden, senate quite effectively, he's gonna be doing a lot of that is as they've made clear, apparently today in the course of a lot of the public statements that campaign has put out. yeah, winning a lengthy document that they released as well the trump folks are saying there's no need for trump to do any practice sessions going into the debate. we know historically we every presidential candidate and incumbent or a challenger has always gone through some practice sessions with their aids. what do you make of that? >> i think it's a mistake. i think trump needs to prep. i think the president biden is going to come in and a little bit different candidate than he was four years ago. he's gonna be much tougher and i think trump needs to be ready for that i think biden is going to try to push trump's buttons and he has to relax and step back and talk about the policy. so it's gonna be a fascinating debate here and it shouldn't.

is this debate going to be in the terms of the bottom line? >> i usually don't think debates are significant. i think this one will. i think a lot of suburban women like myself, will be watching this debate. i think that's one of the reasons biden wanted to have it so early. so i think it's gonna be a great debate. everybody using absolutely. >> i think people are gonna be watching in part because people were waiting for the debates anyway, right? >> there'll be watching conventions that we're watching the debates i think the biden campaign's that okay. >> and then let's move it up. let's get people to refocus earlier on. on the differences between us because as our own reporting is shown, it is a challenge to break through with trump when he's got the trials. so i think the debate we're gonna be talking about it, it'll be right here on cnn, obviously, but i think i hope people will tune in from a republican perspective of sarah, how significant was the announcement from nikki haley that she will vote for trump? >> there was huge and actually a lot of us didn't see that coming. i think she actually she went down, she talked to president trump and they work some things out that have been

voting for her. and these primaries, even after she withdrew into maybe come and take a fresh look at him. so i think it's very, very important for trump, but at least color and thank here, but apparently isn't i don't think he has yet. mostly he will see if he does. >> all right. ladies. thank you very, very much. the crisis of gang violence in haiti hits home here in the united states after the killing of an american couple working in haiti as missionaries. but first, hunter biden, federal of course today, where a judge made some key rulings just out of his trial on gun charges that set to start next month the assignments are, going off and playing the tornado here. >> i'm thinking i'm going to die. and i thought finally earth with liev schreiber premieres june 2 at nine on cnn, luma phi. >> it's kind of amazing. >> wow, luma phi eye drops

haven't what happened in court today? >> well, we're getting to see a little bit of the contours of how this trial is gonna. shape up and look at this is now appears to be it's gonna be about two weeks that the president's son is going to be on trial on these gun charges. his three charges that he's facing in delaware that the special counsel, david weiss, is leading that case. and a number of things that the judge today decided could not be included, could not be included by prosecutors as part of the evidence in this case. show you just a couple of these right now. the sum of hunter biden's other legal troubles, including the tax evasion case that is going to trial in september in los angeles, as well. well as his arkansas paternity case and his discharged from the navy over a drug incident back in 2014. however prosecutors will be able to talk about his drug use. there'll be able to use some of the texts and some of his, some of the stuff that

came from his laptop there'll be able to use that to show some of the connections to his drug use at the time that he bought this firearm that he is now being tried for as well as some of his his own on statements from his memoir where he described having a drug issues being a drug addict at the time that he was purchasing this firearm, as well as you're going to hear from three different people that he had relationships with key part of this though will today was focusing on how prosecutors can try to narrow this case his drug use what exactly can they bring up as far as his drug use for the time that he owned this firearm, what the judge said was that prosecutors can say if he was using drugs in the weeks are days before he bought the firearm, that they can then use that information as part of this case. of course, if hunter biden takes the stand,

something we don't know will happen anytime soon. this these limitations that the judge has approved, all of those could change both interesting and evan perez. thank you very much. i want to bring cnn legal analyst norm eisen, and georgetown university law professor victoria nurse to both of you. thanks for joining us. what do you see is the significance of these rulings or the judge at least so far? >> the wolf there were some questions about judge maryellen noreika because you'll remember there was a plea bargain before her to resolve all of hunter biden's criminal problems. the prosecution agreed on it. the defense and hunter biden agreed on it. special counsel, david weiss agreed out at the judge, didn't agree. she threw it out and myself and some others thought, gosh, was that a fair resolution? but i thought she was very evenhanded today barring some of the most prejudicial information about tax and his paternity suit is drug discharged from the navy,

but letting in other relevant material and he's gonna get to challenge the authenticity of some of those emails from off of that laptop. very important for the defense yeah. and victoria, what do you think? because both sides clearly were handled there's some wins in this house that's going to impact the trial. >> well, i think what you're going to see is that we are going to hear from these emails and this whole saga about whether they are made up. hunter biden is doing the laptop to the left up and we're going to learn a lot from that in this trial because of these rulings, if they allow all those emails to be released in the course of the trial i want to get to the hush money trial that's wrapping up in new york, expecting closing arguments in the next few days, we're watching it all very, very closely. what are you expected? from the first of all, from the prosecutors in their summation and their final arguments. well, will fall be there as i have been every day

for those summations on the prosecution, sayyed they are going to argue that no one witness, no one document, no one piece of evidence makes this case, but that they have built a mosaic of a hundreds of pieces of evidence that all fit together. so they'll say michael cohen was honest with you, but you don't have to believe him because he's corroborated by other documents and other witnesses, and they will say the evidence proves beyond a reasonable doubt that donald trump cause was involved in and facilitated was a is liable for 34 false documents and he did it to cover up a hush money payment that was a campaign finance and election violation and also attacks violation that's what you can expose three points or what you can expect to hear from them. >> interesting, victoria, donald trump, as we all know declined to take the stand in his own defense. he had every right to do so, but he declined. so how do you think

the defense is going to sum sum up all of this? >> well, i think they're gonna go after the credibility of michael cohen and the other their witnesses. and obviously all they need is one juror to find a reasonable doubt. so they're going to harp on the fact that there is a reasonable doubt here about cohen's veracity and prosecutors going to come back and say, well, you can believe him on some things and not believe him on other things. and that's where as normal it says the documents are going to be key, putting them together will be key for the prosecution and rebutting that is key for the defense has to be unanimous in order to convict. beyond a reasonable doubt, how important will the judge's jury instructions be to the jury? >> well, victoria's smiling because the two the one-two punch for the jury is they have the facts evidenced. the witnesses that documents, and the law and i think both the documents and the law favor the prosecution. it's not a slam dunk, it's not laid down and absolutely slowly we could see one or two jurors hang this

jury. but the judge made a series of rulings in the charging conference when we were last and court on tuesday afternoon, new york law just favors the prosecution on this. well, for example, the defense said we want you to find that the jury has two unanimously agree. what was the crime that trump was covering up what these documents that makes this a felony, you need another crime the judge that i'm sorry, that's not new york law. they don't have to agree. so the law does favor the prosecution here, but not a slam dunk. >> what do you see as potentially the key piece of evidence that could make or break this case. >> well, it's actually the documents. one of the things that people don't realize about a trial is it's really so all of you've been down there. it goes very, very slow and the jury is told a story over a long time. and so we've been focusing on the personalities. but the prosecutor is going to focus on all of the corroborating evidence and they may the jury may ask to see

some of this corroborating evidence yeah. >> and they have some of the witnesses who potentially could help. we're not called as witnesses. we'll see if that has an impact as well. all right. to both of you. thank you very, very much coming up here in the situation room. what the pentagon has now saying about the medical procedure that defense secretary lloyd austin is undergoing tonight check. we hear nothing. >> a space shuttle accident excuse me. not one thing. it's a series of events is that part of the wing coming apart space shuttle columbia, the final flight, now streaming on max, you call them caramels or caramels, whatever you call them, karam metals.com makes 26 mouthwatering flavors that are the freshest and softest caramels ever produced try them for yourself or someone you love, go today to caramels and see for yourself for over 25 years, loves sack has been rewriting the rules of comfort. >> it's okay to change your style, get massive yet merced

hsiao powering progress i'm katelyn polantz at the federal court in washington, and this is cnn the pentagon just reveal, do we're information on the health of the defense secretary lloyd austin months after the controversy he faced for keeping his medical issues under wraps. seen as natasha per trend is joining us. she's joining us with details over at the pentagon. so and natasha,

what are you hearing over there? >> well, we'll for told from the pentagon press secretary tonight that the secretary is scheduled to undergo a quote, scheduled elective, a minimally invasive, and non surgical procedure at walter reed this evening. so they're really downplaying the significance of this procedure, saying that it is elective and that is not expected to be anything very serious now reason of course that they are putting out these very regular updates whenever the secretary has to go undergo any kind of procedure at walter reed or any kind of doctor's appointment even really is because of the controversy that was sparked a few months ago when secretary austin was hospitalized twice and did not tell either the public, his deputy or even the president of the united states and the secretary austin did pledge to do better after that. but this procedure that he is getting tonight, according to the pentagon, it's related to a bladder issue that he suffered when he underwent surgery in trying to treat his prostate cancer back in december, that surgery then lead to complicate

patients that led him to be hospitalized again in january and now he is doing, yet again another follow-up procedure that again, depending on a saying, is very minimally invasive and non surgery nicole. so we do expect secretary austin to be back at work as normal on monday when he goes to certain events to commemorate memorial day. and of course, he is expected to travel to asia later this week, we at later next week, we also saw him earlier today with kenya's leader here at the pentagon, and he looked to be in good spirits and good health. so this just seems to be out of an abundance of transparency that the pentagon is informing the press the public, of course, that he's undergoing this procedure, but we should note he is expected to transfer his full duties and authorities to his deputy, kathleen hicks. >> what we wish him, of course, is speedy speedy recovery. natasha, per trend at the pentagon for us. thank you very much. other news we're following an american missionary couple was shot and killed by a gang in haiti, according to their family, the couple who were married back in 2022 were ambushed by the gang

yesterday when coming out of church. cns david culver has the devastating report an outpouring of grief for two young missionaries brutally killed and haiti's capital, they went to heaven together because already state representative ben baker posted his daughter, natalie, and her husband, davy lloyd, attacked by gangs thursday night in port-au-prince the couple and their early 20s served as part of missions in haiti, a christian non-profit organization run for more than two decades by lloyds parents. the organization posting friday, they were ambushed by a gang of three trucks full of guys davy was taken to the house hide up and beat the gang, then took our trucks and loaded everything up they wanted and left three hours later, the group posted that the couple was shot and killed by the gang. >> michigan, haiti's as a third person, a haitian staffer named jude was so killed in the attack, were told he'd been with the organization for 20 years. the violent incident started as the missionaries were leaving church and lasted

for several hours. davy lloyd's father says the three died barricaded and the lloyd families living quarters on the missions compound haiti has been spiraling into gang fueled chaos which forced the resignation of prime minister ariel henry in april. the un estimates some 80% of the capital city is under gang control in recent months, cnn's made multiple trips to port-au-prince we've met victims of the gangs brutality including rape, kidnapping, and murder. hundreds of thousands. now refugees in their own cities as gangs have torched their homes and forced them to flee. we've also met with the leader of one prominent gang he and others demanding a say in haiti's future, a future that may again be shaped by foreign forces president biden hosted kenya's president william ruto for a state dinner in washington thursday. around the same time that the deadly attack on davy and natalie lloyd was taking place the top of the two liters agenda haiti.

>> we are going to take up that response i'm going to do alongside the hate and police. >> can you plan to lead a un backed multinational support mission to haiti with at least 1,000 kenyan police officers sent to deploy president biden staving thursday, the us will not send troops, but is provided equipment and intel. the white house reacting to the killings in a statement on friday, our hearts go out up to the families of those killed as they experienced unimaginable grief. missions in haiti, among many others, has been warning haiti is on the brink of collapse the group posting last month, it seems the world has turned their backs on haiti. and it's going to be left and complete gang control now three of their members, just the latest victims of that unrelenting gang violence david culver is joining us now, live from new york. david, you spent a lot of time over these past several weeks in haiti and i understand that cni just spoke to the father of davy lloyd tele or viewers what he said that's right. >> well, if our colleague kaitlyn, who just got off a

zoom interview with them and no question. i mean, he's devastated by what's played out and he and his wife and their family had been dedicating their lives to haiti and trying to make the lives better for many haitians. making this all the more challenging and difficult personally for him, he was on the phone with his son, davy in-between two of the gang attacks. and here's what he had to say about that moment. >> he was injured, so he was hurt and he was very nervous and very scared because i asked him why they tied him up and he's like what because you're the only one that's got strength that we have to worry about. and so they wanted to make sure he couldn't put up a fight back and then he was begging me to find somebody to get in there to help him. and i did all i can do it, but couldn't you locate anybody and knowing what port-au-prince is like right now, wolf with more than 80% of that capital city controlled by gangs. >> it's no wonder that he couldn't get anybody to help his side. i mean, it's just too challenging trying to coordinate between the depth essence of gangs that are controlling that capital city

false, outrageous, and morally repugnant. but wealth, this does reflect the growing isolation of israel on the international stage. and of course comes just a few days after the injury international criminal court said that they are seeking arrest warrants for the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the defense minister yoav galant. well, alex, there's also news on the hostage front. what do we know? >> some very sad news, three more bodies of hostages were recovered by the idf overnight. they were found in the jabalya refugee camp in northern they're in gaza. that's an area where there is renewed fighting after the idf said that they had cleared that area, you can see their photos there on the screen two of them were at the nova music festival when the october 7 attack happened. the third was a grandfather who was going to pick up his granddaughter when he was killed. all three of them were killed on october 7. their bodies have been held in gaza since then. of course, wolfe, this can bring closure to families who are waiting to bury their loved ones, but can also of course, bring extraordinary sadness for those families who've been holding

out hope that their loved ones in gaza may still be alive. well, we should note that these hostages and ceasefire talks that had been coming and going for the past few months have been paused at a stalemate for the past few weeks i've been told by sources that they are picking up again slightly. the cia director bill burns was meeting today in paris with his counterpart at the mossad, david barnea, as well as the qatari prime minister but it is, it does not appear that any kind of deal is imminent. woolf instead, i'm told by us official that burns his goal there in paris is to simply revive the talks, will i'll x-bar court reporting for us, alex. >> thank you very much. also tonight, president biden is welcoming a new commitment by egypt to allow aid to pass through a crossing located at the borders of gaza, egypt, and israel until the rafah border crossing actually reopens the humanitarian crisis in gaza is increasingly dire and deadly. as cnn's paula hancocks

aircraft along with warships, coast guard vessels, and basically what they were told that the pla, the people's liberation army, was practicing wolf, is a blockade of taiwan, a blockade would be a potential precursor for an invasion. they would try to use their military assets to cut off crucial shipping ports and also try to block air traffic from coming in and out and on an island like taiwan, where 24 million people living here rely on imports extensively for everything from food to energy. it wouldn't take very long before the here would essentially be brought to its knees if a blockade were in effect. so very ominous very threatening these military drills have happened before. and of course, they're taking it very seriously here in the capital taipei wolf. >> so how is taiwan will responding to this chinese aggression? >> obviously on the government level, they are condemning this. and calling on democratic allies around the world,

including the united states to do the same. at the same time to time when he's military has been deploying its own aircraft to monitor the situation they've been releasing video tailing some of the he's chinese bombers that reportedly were carrying live missiles during these war games simulations at the same time, there have been protests here in the capital taipei thousands of people gathering a lot of them young people, but not all of them young people saying that they're angry at some lawmakers here and taiwan who have, proceeded it is having views that are friendly to china who are trying, they say to take power away from the new president who has a very tough on china's stance. these people. and i was talking to him yesterday, wolf, including one man who flew all the way from california. it was burnt taiwan he's lived in the us for 40 years and he told me why he's decided to come here to taipei to participate in these protests why did you come all the way here because i support democracy i believe democracy is it's a freedom that people

should exercise hi and freedom comp with very very hard price wolf, a lot of people may not know that taiwan hasn't always been a democracy. it's only been in the last 30 years or so that they've had these free and fair presidential elections for decades. they lived under a single-party system under chiang kai-shek. and so there are people of a certain age over 40 here who remember what life was like living under martial law, under an authoritarian government. and they say they fought hard for the democracy they have today and that they're not willing to give that up well, what working to tell us about the mood of everyday people who live there where you are right now in taiwan so in some ways, the attitude here and taiwan, i've been based here for two years already. >> it reminds me of what i heard when north and south korea, where these two sides are very close to each other, they'd been living their whole lives on the brink of war been hearing for decades that war is possible and you just learn to go on with your day-to-day life
