4:00 pm
slash tv to claim your $5 trial. >> i'll rafael romo, the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this is cnn you are in the cnn newsroom. hi, everyone. i'm jessica dean and washington, we begin this hour with former president and now convicted felon, donald trump, boasting a surgeon campaign donations following the verdict in his historic hush money criminal trial, that trump campaign saying it's raised nearly $53 million since he was found guilty by a manhattan jury of falsifying business records in order to influence the 20 16 election. his sentencing date. now set for july 11, and that's just days
4:01 pm
before the republican national convention where trump is expected to be picked as the party's official nominee. trump is planning to appeal yesterday, he gave a glimpse of how he intends to forge ahead with his campaign falsely calling the trial rigged and attacking the judge we had a conflicted judge highly conflicted there's never been a more conflicted, judge. >> you saw what happened to some of the witnesses that were in our sayyed, they were literally crucified by this man who looks like an angel, but he's really a devil just hours after that vinge volt press conference, president biden for the first time, commented on the verdict saying no one is above the law cnn's priscilla alvarez is joining us now in the studio with more on the response from president biden and priscilla, the president came out with strong words, but they've been very careful. >> both he specifically and the broader campaign and the white house to really keep their
4:02 pm
distance from all of this, they certainly tried to strike a delicate balance, especially in the hours after this verdict was reach. >> now, the president in his remarks was quite technical in describing what occurred and describing the american justice system, defending its integrity and saying that no one is above the law. now he also went on to say that calling the process rigueur, as you heard there from the former president, was there irresponsible hey, listen reckless dangerous it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict now the white house had been largely silent over the course of the trial, letting it play out the campaign in the moments after that verdict was reached, was really leading the charge here in saying that this is a race that's going to be decided at the ballot box, not the courtroom. >> and frankly, that is the thinking in the campaign as well. but this isn't going to change ange the election in a big way at this point. but the question is how and when they
4:03 pm
use this, what do they call the former president a criminal moving forward. >> and i also want to ask you about new reporting on a topic you've been covering extensively on immigration. you've learned that the white house is reaching out to mayors of cities along the us mexico border potentially to get them to participate in an executive order. >> the white house is certainly laying the groundwork for a sweeping executive action announcement this week. now, we have heard that it could be as early as tuesday when they make that announcement, but certainly they are spending the weekend trying to bring border mayors to the white house to announce this action now, this would essentially clamp down on unlawful border crossings. it has been talked about within the white house and within the administration for weeks now, especially kicking into gear after that failed bipartisan border bill, which failed because republicans walked away from it after, or at the asking or request of former president donald trump? >> essentially, if you look at this through the political lins, the white house is trying to claim the narrative on
4:04 pm
border security. >> they've clearly trying to be more aggressive since that bipartisan border bill failed, which they were a part of those discussions and this is also going to happen potentially before the first presidential debate. so in some ways is also preempting president biden's republican rival, who has made immigration and border security a key campaign issues. so we'll be watching to see if they do indeed make this announcement on tuesday as we're hearing. but clearly the white house is at least laying the groundwork for that to happen. and trying to really make a pivot here and turn the tables on republicans when it comes to border security, i don't see any interesting to see that all unfold. priscilla alvarez. great. see you. thanks so much. >> and in the history of america, not one president not one former president even has ever been tried or convicted in criminal court. >> let's talk to someone with a unique perspective on all of this. john dean, who was president nixon's white house counsel and is now a cnn contributor. john, it's great to see you on this saturday afternoon the only precedent we
4:05 pm
have that's close as you well know was president richard nixon who chose to resign and not only is trump, not stepping back, he's actively running for president. it's a very close race. >> what do you think it could mean for a convicted felon to be elected president of the united states well, i think it would be a horrible situation of even the fact that trump is running for office tarnishes the job. it really does if that is the standard, is that low? >> and you'd need first of all, he ran with no government experience. he got into job and show he really wasn't up to the job. but still he has a wide following i think largely because of his television presence. and is experienced with the premise, not because of anything he's done governmentally. so i think he's tarnishing the office terribly and republicans are aiding and abetting it. >> and to have a convicted
4:06 pm
felon as commander in chief, it's just it's such a kind of crazy thing to wrap your head around it doesn't work in fact, the military is really trained not to take illegal orders. and so what are they going to do if trump arrives there and suddenly they've got somebody who they know who has no boundaries in his thoughts. is very inclined to break the law. he's a recidivism and has done it many times now. so it's very problematic. and i think the american people are smarter than trump's effort and the republican pushing this very, very radical president i spoke with former trump national security adviser john bolton in the last hour about the possibility of the president going to jail. and i want to play a clip of what he had to say and then ask you something. after and what do you think about potential jail time for a former president the united states you know, it
4:07 pm
wouldn't bother me, but i know, i know what trump's reaction would be. >> it'd be one more indication of poor donald trump. everybody pick so i am, it's just so unfair. i think the objective i'm not going to vote for either trump or biden, but i certainly think one objective here should be to make sure donald trump is not president again, and i don't want the lawfare advocates in their zeal just to feel good and signal their virtue to get jail time if it helps elect him we've just straight about it john. sentencing is july 11. do you think the former president should go to jail? we'll go to jail let me share a story. i a few years ago, read the probation report for my former coconspirators in watergate former chief of staff, bob haldeman, former attorney general, john or lichtman or excuse me, john mitchell and then former domestic adviser jon or lightman. all three they were the three most powerful
4:08 pm
men in the nixon white house and nixon administration. when they went to jail after watergate, they were innocent men the probation officer visited with them about eight months into their serving their sentence. they were then guilty and very remorseful about what they had done as a result of that, the judge ended up shortening they're their sentences but somehow the reality of going to jail can make people think if they don't admit they're their wrongs and their misbehavior, they can come to understand it. i think trump's she needs some jail time. he is just totally unrepentant. he'll do it again. he'll do it again worse. he's on a road then you campaign. and so i hope this judge sends him to jail it's interesting. >> i had a julian zelizer on a little bit, just a little bit ago. and he, of course, of presidential historian and we were talking about the fact that back when nixon resigned it was so deeply unpalatable, an untenable for him to stay in
4:09 pm
office. the american people simply weren't going to accept a criminal being in office. >> but that that has seemed to change. >> we're looking at the polling and obviously we're going to see how this shakes out in the next several months but why do you think it is that that was not that long ago. you lived through it and we're talking right now, what do you think has happened in america? >> i take one of the basic things that happened. we've talked stop teaching civics. people have really no understanding of how government works trump had no understanding of how it worked when he went into the white house, he treated in a very transactional fashion like he was just moving into another business. it is not the government is a very different creature. and americans really don't understand their government anymore. it's kind of sad, kind of pathetic, kind of frightening, because democracy takes understanding and education. and i'm afraid we don't have it anymore. >> right. and you have to participate in it as well?
4:10 pm
>> so just so everyone is watching, that's watching his clear president biden can't legally pardon trump even if he wanted to. >> this is a state case brought by the state. the only person that could is the governor of new york, kathy hochul that seems unlikely. but do you think she should or that this should be considered he will always be a convicted felon at this point as soon as he sentenced. >> that's when the conviction becomes a fully implemented moniker, if you will. so he's technically not yet a convicted felon. he will be as soon as he sentenced. now, canada governor step in. she could well, she i really doubt it. this was a very fair trial while there's a lot of talk about appealing this and taking it to a higher court this judge did all the right things. the only way they could get this reversed is to go after the underlying law and
4:11 pm
the ability to structure this case the way they were able to on some due process argument that wasn't clear enough to the defendant what was happening so that's very problematic though. it's not likely to happen nor is the governor likely to pardon, nor should she it would just be a pure political act at this point no mercy. >> yeah. you said that you think some jail time would be good for the former president? there is a kind of conventional wisdom that if he goes to jail, that will rally his voters, it will rally his base. >> do you think that's true? do you think you'll have a firmer argument about how he's being unfairly persecuted. >> or does that base have sort of a ceiling? >> i mean, he has a hold on on a certain segment of the population. it seems no matter what he asked about 30%, apparently of voters and there are people who just don't even want to know the facts. i have
4:12 pm
some friends who are very deeply supportive of donald trump. and when we talk, they say, don't give us any information, they don't really want to know what's happening they just want to believe and it's mythical if you will i think that it wouldn't hurt if they saw what was really going on. and in the criminal justice system does apply to everybody. so i have little sympathy for their concern about him going to jail. and i think it would be healthy for the system if he goes to jail and so what do you think comes next for all of this? >> it wouldn't win the history books tell this story. how do you think it fits in with what happened with president nixon? >> i think we're in one of the early chapters of this piece of history because he's got three more cases is going to be confronted with if he is not elected he certainly got two federal cases that are very important. the january 6 cation and the district of columbia
4:13 pm
the documents theft problem, and the obstruction case in florida, as well as the georgia case. so he's got a lot more litigation to face. and the only cases he could get rid of you who are elected would be the two federal cases. i think there'll be a certain outrage if he did that he could make could be put on on a stay. but to just make them go away we'll have to see what the supreme court says about presidential immunity. and but i don't think they're going to immunize non official conduct was right? >> right. and what about he said he's going to appeal. he's been very firm and that he will be appealing this case. do you think he has a case to be made well, as i alluded to a moment ago, i think only if he if he specialist some appeal about the underlying laws of new york and can get that as
4:14 pm
some argument of due process that because he wasn't given a clear enough map as to what he's really been charged with, because the the escalation of the misdemeanors, two felony status really involved a range of potential criminal conduct. >> that's a little fuzzy for criminal law, and that could it's the way the statute provides for it. it's the way he was convicted. and there may be an argument there, but it's the underlying laws being attacked, not the way to judge handle this case, which were very fairly and by the letter of the law. >> all right. john dean, always nice to have you on. thanks so much. >> thanks. jessica. >> so i had the new gaza ceasefire proposal drafted by israel getting strong pushback from israel's prime minister why he says the conditions were getting out of gaza, have not changed. plus a potentially busy hurricane season starting today, i preview of what to expect. you're in the cnn newsroom sirens are going off
4:15 pm
and the tornado here. >> i'm thinking language die. and i thought how was at birth with the liev schreiber premiers tomorrow at nine on cnn have heart failure with unresolved symptoms. >> it may be time to see the bigger picture. heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat could be something more serious called attr cn. a rare under-diagnosed disease that worsens over time. sound like you call your cardiologist and ask about attr cnn this home-style chicken salad rafah from subway this tight do it savory chicken. chris veggies all wrapped up. >> his wraps are amazing people can hear my thoughts. >> that's a problem. >> stay fresh out there. all

>> they've done nothing wrong in the world finding a cure for childhood cancer remains everything helps st. jude give kids with cancer a chance i brought. >> in a juror max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. here, i'll take that in fermat protein, 30 grams protein one prim sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals, and a new fiber blend with a prebiotic anderson cooper 360 weeknight today on cnn president biden is calling on hamas to accept a new ceasefire proposal from israel saying quote, it's time for this war to end, for the day after to begin. >> i like gucken has details now from jerusalem jessica, following president biden's announcement of a us ceasefire deal, prime minister benjamin netanyahu did something he doesn't ordinarily do. he put out a statement on the jewish sabbath. now, in that statement, he said that israel's conditions for ending
4:20 pm
the war with hamas had not changed. now these conditions are to destroy hamas militarily and to remove its governing capabilities to get the hostages despite the living and the dead back into israel and finally, to ensure that the gaza strip no longer poses a threat to israel. so one can only assume that whatever netanyahu has greenlighted from its perspective for this potential ceasefire deal in his eyes, does not preclude israel from fulfilling those war objectives. now, hamas is initial reaction to this so i proposal was to view it positively. they said they have yet to give an official response, but certainly that is added to the optimism, but this is the real deal and that this time, in contrast to the previous false dawns, we've had this deal could get across the line, but just to try to keep up the pressure on the government thousands of protesters again, on the streets of tel aviv, jerusalem and across israel begging, demanding this government do a deal that would bring the hostages home back into israel. at the same time, they're calling for early elections. now the right-wing, far-right ministers in netanyahu's
4:21 pm
governing coalition have taken a somewhat different view, predict this kind of thing before when other deals have seemed close have said this deal as it seen in their eyes, would be tantamount to a surrender hamas that it would reckless, they wouldn't support it, and they would remove their parties from the governing coalition, causing it most likely to collapse. now that doesn't mean that a deal couldn't get across the line in the knesset, the parliament here, because the opposition has said that it would support but your deal, but certainly that is something else to be preying on netanyahu's mind that if he does go ahead with this deal, that could very well mean early elections. and if opinion polls and right, that would mean his ejection from office. now, the same time as well, that is going on, talks a set to take place in cairo on sunday between the united states, egypt, and israel to try to get the rough for border crossing between gaza and egypt reopens. now, earlier this month is israel took control of that border crossing as part of its operations against hamas in rafah egypt has said that it can't allow humanitarian aid
4:22 pm
to go in because it can't guarantee the safety of the humanitarian truck drivers because they could be targets for hamas if can control their case in point, the kerem shalom crossing between israel and the gaza strip has also come under fire. we need that the two main crossing points for humanitarian aid to get into the gaza strip have effectively been shut off for the most part. for most mason, either of these talks on sundays to clear between israel and egypt get the border crossing you get my terrion aid flowing or back to the gaza strip where it is sorely needed. >> jessica thank you. >> american defense chiefs met with their chinese counterparts face-to-face in singapore. it's the first such meeting since late 2022 they met on the sidelines of an annual defense conference, one that's been taking on a greater weight with the rising military tensions across the asia-pacific. >> but when the defense secretary address the conference, he took aim at china's aggression in the region, seen as natasha bird tran has more now from singapore secretary austin,
4:23 pm
address the shangri-la forum here in singapore earlier today in a major speech that focus on the idea of convergence of united's states. and its indo-pacific allies here in favor of security and the rule of law thinly veiled message to china, which of course the united states has accused of flouting international law, especially when it comes to freedom of navigation in the season in the air. now, secretary austin also emphasize the importance though of military military communications with the chinese remaining ongoing, saying that that is what responsible nations do. and there's no substitute for that kind of direct dialogue between the us and they're chinese counterparts to that end, the secretary did in fact meet face-to-face just the other day with his chinese counterpart for the first time since 2020 to and importantly, secretary austin reiterated to the chinese that there are going to be consequences not only for their actions potentially in the south china sea and in the region around taiwan. but also
4:24 pm
for their support. and their ongoing support for russia's defense sector and how that is fueling the war in ukraine, secretary three austin said that if, if china continues to provide that kind of support for the russians than the us and its allies will be forced to take further measures. now that is undoubtedly going to be on the agenda for secretary austin's meeting with a surprise guest here at the shangri-la forum, which is president zelenskyy of ukraine. he showed up earlier on saturday night. he's expected to meet on sunday with secretary austin alongside his defense minister umerov. they're expected to talk about the battlefield situation in ukraine, as well as what ukraine needs to defend itself against the russians, right now. and so expect that meeting to be very significant, of course, for austin and 40 ukrainian leader here at a moment when the chinese of course are here as well and they have continued to provide very significant support for russia's defense sector. natasha bertrand cnn, in singapore natasha, thank you. >> still ahead. an idaho jury decides the fate of convicted murderer and self-proclaimed

4:32 pm
much for that reporting new tonight out of idaho were self-proclaimed doomsday prophet chad daybell has been sentenced to death for the murder of his first wife, tammy, and two children from his second wife, lori vallow the jury has made a finding that it would be appropriate to impose the death penalty as it relates two counts, one through six in the amended indictment. and so pursuant to idaho code 19 2515 the court is directed that the defendant would be sentenced to death on those counts cnn's camila bernal, joining us now from los angeles, camilla what were some of those extenuating factors that led the jury? >> to this death sentence yeah. >> so the jury agreed here that some of the aggravating factors were the fact that the crimes that he committed were atrocious. they were cruel. the jury also saying that this was done for money that he had
4:33 pm
utter disregard for human life, and that he would be a threat to society. this is the same jury that found him guilty of killing his first wife, tammy, and the children of his second wife, lori vallow daybell, the children just 16 and tylee and 7-years-old. jj and you know, the prosecutors in this case said that it was a case that was motivated by sex, money power, and these apocalyptic religious believes where he would mark people for death, a describing them as dark or as zombies. and so the prosecution here also saying that anyone that got in the way of lori and chad daybell being together, or if there was any final angel gain to be made here in the sense of social security payments or the payments for life insurance, then they would mark them as someone that needed to die. and of course, a lot of us watched as
4:34 pm
authorities found the remains of the children in chad daybell most property jj was found with his arms duck taped, covered in plastic bags. tylee, his body was so badly burned that it was even difficult to identify. and so this was horrible for the nation and for the families of victims that have been impacted by all of this after the sentencing, some of them did speak out. take a listen to what they say you never wish harm on anybody diagnosing what they've done but at the end of the day it's good that he's he can't hurt anybody else. >> we got justice for our loved ones and that was always what this was about getting justice for them. >> we can all start to heal from this terrible lost we have suffered, we'll miss tammy every single day of our lives. that we do have some comfort knowing that we will see her again someday and the family was emotional, but chad daybell, no emotion, no reaction chose to not speak
4:35 pm
after sentencing his attorney he did speak earlier in the sentencing phase and essentially just blamed at all on laurie she was of course, found guilty as well, and was sentenced to prison without the possibility of parole. >> the death penalty for her was not on the table. jessica alright. camila bernal from los angeles for us. thanks so much for that reporting. also new tonight, nasa is the earliest liftoff for the new boeing starliner crewed with nasa astronauts will be on wednesday that's after today's lift off was scrubbed less than four minutes before launch, cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher has more from kennedy space center yeah. >> so jessica, nasa, boeing, andy united launch alliance or you la, say that they are foregoing the next possible launch opportunity, which would have been tomorrow, sunday at around noon, because they say they simply didn't have enough time to troubleshoot the issue that caused today's scrubs saturday scrub. >> and the issue had nothing to do with boeing's starliner
4:36 pm
spacecraft, nor did it have anything to do with the rocket that propels that spacecraft into orbit. >> you la's atlas five. so the hardware actually performed just fine and was ready for launch. the issue frustratingly had to do with the ground computers that sit right near the base of the launchpad they require all three computers to tell the rocket that it's essentially go for lunch. they call it triple redundancy on saturday. two of those computers gave it the green light, the third computer did not, or perhaps it was just too slow in getting there. >> that's what triggered the automatic hold. and because this was an instantaneous launch window, meaning that they had to launch the exam exact, precise moment that then meant that there was a scrub. and so nasa astronauts, butch wilmore and sunny williams are going back to quarantine. >> and nasa says the next launch attempt is going to be
4:37 pm
sometime next week, either june fifth or june 6th. >> definitely a disappointment for nasa, boeing and ula la. but important to note that scrubs happen, they're very common in spaceflight, but especially for a first crewed test flight nasa just saying they're being extremely cautious with this one, not going to launch until they're ready. >> jessica. all right. kristin fisher for us. thanks so much. >> still ahead tonight and overlooked consequence of war, thousands of animals trapped at a ukrainian zoo near the russian border. >> we're going to talk with the director and producer of a new film checkpoint zoo. here on the cnn newsroom russia we're trying to spy on us we were spying on them. >> i was id friday this is a war the secret was secrets and spies, a nuclear game. >> premiers tomorrow at ten on cnn. >> before my doctor and i chose breaths tree for my copd. i had bad days flare-ups that could

4:54 pm
for incredibly active number of storms know are actually issuing its most active preseason forecast in its history, calling for up to 25 named storms average would be closer to 14, up to 13 of them could be hurricanes. >> again, way above the average of seven. look at how confident we are that this is going to be an above-normal active season 85% confidence there's only a 5% chance that it will be below normal season. so again, almost, virtually impossible. one of the big reasons is but we have a one union circulation setting up that's a cool ocean circulation that sets up in the pacific. well, it could have a dance with the path to storminess, our jet stream. it could shift it to the north, that could clear a path of decreasing wind shear. wind shear is a change in wind speed and height upstairs in the atmosphere. hurricanes hate that without that wind shear that can open up a path for more storms to develop on top of this, we also have incredibly warm ocean temperatures, even so far this
4:55 pm
season, we've already had ocean temperatures more typical for august, then may or early june, warm ocean temperatures fueled hurricanes is the food that they need that is the climate factor. climate change is making our oceans warmer, warmer water means more fuel for hurricanes. it also can make them heavier, juicing them up. what even more fuel sea level rise makes our storm surge higher and sends that water farther inland. so all of this leads to more expensive storms. look at the cost of tropical cyclones. since 1980 across the us, how many storms we've had that of cost us more than $1 billion. also notice how far inland this gets with the heavier rain trends and the higher storm surge, more of these impacts make it farther inland. >> all of this means increasing insurance costs for you at home elise rafah. thank you. and tomorrow on seeing an 80 years after d-day, are we still protecting what we font so hard to preserve? jake tapper talking to top generals about the state of democracy christie
