>> the news continues right here on cnn all right. next breaking news, a jury has been selected for hunter biden's trial. >> so cool. >> are the people, the men and women, who will decide the fate of the president's son and who are the witnesses that will be called? plus breaking news, trump's appeal to have fulton county's da hey, removed from his case has a date and this date means everything for whether this case happens before the election. and ukraine claiming it used western happens to strike inside russia. >> so will retaliate investigative journalists christo grozev, his on russia's wanted list is my guest tonight. >> let's go out front good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. we begin with the breaking news. biden has a jury, the 12 jurors who will decide hunter biden's fete have all been sworn in. they have been given their instructions, and we are now just hours away

from opening statements and biden's federal gun case where he's accused of lying about being on drugs when he bought a gun. the judge wasting no time saying her courtroom operates five days a week. opening statements are scheduled for tomorrow morning, and tonight. we do have new details about the jury. it consists of six men and six women. and evan perez is gonna give you a lot more details because who they are matters hugely. >> meanwhile, in the courtroom, biden was engaged, leaning forward, looking at the jurors and the judge, first lady, jill biden, sat one row behind her step, sayyed, and was there all day? the significance of this moment actually can't be understated. >> think about last week, right days after a jury ruled that the first former president in american history is a convicted felon on 34 counts. a jury is now hearing the case of the child of a sitting presidents, and that is the first time that any president's child has been on trial. these, of course, are precedents. nobody wants to see set, but yet here we are. and this case could have major implications for the election. biden's family, personal

laundry is about to be thrust into the spotlight prosecutors are expected to go into detail into the salacious sayyed of hunter biden's past potential witnesses will include a number of hunter biden's x's. we are told among them, beau biden, his brother, his widow, hallie, whom hunter dated. hunter biden's own ex-wife and multiple ex girlfriends who will testify to his drug use it's important to emphasize that this case is being brought by president biden's department of justice, which chose not to charge trump and his stormy daniels hush money case. but as for president biden himself, he was silent today. obviously he was not there. he released a statement that reads in part as the president, i don't and won't comment on pending federal cases. but as a dad, i have boundless love from my son confidence in him, and respect for his strength. so let's begin now with evan perez because he is outfront live outside that courthouse. it's in wilmington, delaware. and evan, i mentioned that jury we know six men, six women, but you know what? a lot more about them tell us that's right,

aaron, the majority of the jury is african-american. >> there's a woman who said that she had lost a number of friends to drug addiction. there were a number of gun owners, which is unimportant. part of this case, obviously including one who said that smoking weed should not disqualify you from being able to own a gun. so this is a cross-section of the people of delaware. there were dozens citizens of delaware who were in this courthouse today and they they went through a number of questions. really trying to figure out about whether they could find people who could fairly judge this case given the fact that the bidens looms so large in this state, politically, of course, politics this came up in the jury selection as well as the issue of recovery and addiction and gun ownership. there was one person who was questioned who said that he believed there was a god given right to own guns. another person who said

that she believed all guns should be should be banned. and so at the end the jury was selected much quicker than some of the lawyers were anticipating. we expect the first arguments to begin in the morning and the first witness from the prosecution is an fbi agent, who worked on this case so evan 80 is we're seeing pictures of hunter biden and his current wife, who was there with him and i know that the first lady was there as well. >> a lot of family were there and you were there too. so what did you observe about those interactions? seven what really look, one of the things that happened today was we were quite surprised that jill biden arrived and she came in. >> she went into the courtroom she hugged her son. you could tell that that made a huge difference, at least to have her there, ashley biden's a hunter. biden sister was also there as well? well as his son-in-law big family presence, obviously, to show some support

given the fact that hundreds father could not be here issued that statement as you pointed out, saying that he was going to make sure he didn't interfere in what the justice department was doing, but really showing the support of the family in that statement that was issued by the president of the united states, as you pointed out historic de, here in wilmington, ministry are being made in both of the cases that we've been following in these recent weeks. peaks and not not history that anybody really wants to see, but yet here we are, evan. thank you very much. and our panelists here. let me start with marc america tonight. so mark the jury that evans going through, right. >> this is crucial. this jury at the face of it, we know six men, six women. the majority of them are african american as evan just laid out, you've got a woman who said she's lost many friends to draw addiction on the jury gun owners on the jury, one who believes people who smoke pot should be allowed to own firearms and obviously, a hunter biden purchasing a gun while under the influence of drugs is at the center of this case. so when you look at this

jury, mark, what do you see? >> good jury for the defense. one de mostly democratic. we know that african americans are blacks are generally democratic, but they're also delaware into bestor rhetoric, which means they are from the state that node, the bidens loved the bindings and the violence have done a lot for delaware. so in that sense, this is a good place for biden to try a case. and this is a good juror to try on in front. >> and ryan, that is true. i mean, i lived in delaware for years and it is biden country. i mean, there's no one there who doesn't have some sort of a link or a tie, it's an incredibly small state as well. so does that just mean any jury here is by nature going to be in some since pro biden, i think that's right. >> it has to tilt pro biden in a certain way, especially because he looms large in the state and over those many years that he served in congress, he's bringing back public goods to that very states. so he's popular there. he didn't exactly face challengers when

he is running. so that's what looms over this and i do think that that means it's very difficult for the prosecutors. but if in fact they do get a guilty verdict, then that's super important because it shows that even a jury of that nature has in fact decided that beyond a reasonable doubt, he's guilty. >> and i want to talk about that. the case itself, where it seems that you go, terry, first of all, though, this this issue of delaware, one woman said, i think the short and not get put on, but i'm not sure but i live in delaware. you can't swing a cat without hearing something the colloquialism of the area but just think about it. texas is 134 times bigger. manhattan, which is where trump's during was selected from, is 1.6 times bigger than the entire state of delaware how does this jury compare to the jury we just saw last week, give a verdict in the trump trial. >> well, you know, in most criminal cases, the venue is where the county is for the c, so it's wilmington if it were just that little group that was

pro biden, that's one thing. but the entire state is pro biden. so you have to imagine that most of the people on that jury, regardless of race, regardless of background, they are probably going to be people who are leaning towards biden. so i agree with ryan. if in fact there is a conviction, it means they follow the facts of the case, the evidence that was put in, and they followed the law and they all said they could do that. and that's how come they were selected at this, the evidence that we have thus far though, the way it's been presented, and it maybe there's more complexity. i'm missing, but he bought a gun while under the influence while he was addicted to drugs and the reason that this is sort of a fact is because he said so in his book, he wrote about it so it sort of seems in that sense that basic part here is already established. very much. >> so. and the other layer of evidence on top of it is the government has his text messages to his girlfriend at the time including on the de that he purchased a gun and then two days later in which he's actually talking to her about using drugs, meeting a

drug dealer and then around the same time this is october 2018, november 2018. he's even saying i'm an addict that's the charge. the charges if you are addicted to drugs are using drugs and you purchase the weapon, you need to say it's showing and you can't get to weapon. but that's not what happened years. i think that's a mountain of evidence. he's stacked up against. >> and so marc that you're also going to hear from his his ex-wife, his brothers ex-wife, who hunter biden also dated after his brother passed away. other ex girlfriends what does all of this ad i mean, what ryan's laying out here is pretty simple it really is because if the question is and i think by these own words, they're going to convict him if he gets convicted, and that is where you addicted when you bought the gun and you should the term addiction, which is what the defense is going to focus on, is okay. >> if you did not believe you're an addict at the time because you just finished an outpatient the treatment inpatient treatment program, you're living sober. you actually can say to yourself for the first time in a few

years, i'm not an addict or not addicted, and i presume that's going to be the strength of their case because even though that atf form is supposed to be very specific, and we all know what addiction is it know what it means? >> but if the form doesn't tell you what it is, doesn't define attic. >> it leaves it open to your interpretation and unfortunately that's a sliver of hope through which the defense is going to try and put their case to say he really didn't know the problem as aaron, you just mentioned, his own words are going to convict him if they do the text messages, the family members i'm going to say no, he was detected and he knew he was quite and this case here, it could move very quickly and i wasn't being snarky at the top when i said the judge says she that's gonna be five de core but there was a message in that, right? in other words, or just a wednesday's off, there's no we're giving off every friday because a juror has a flight. this is going to be beginning, middle end, possibly very quickly. it will go quickly. she does indicate at the beginning, as you said, that she's ready to work five days a week, nine to five, maybe even longer. and

depending on what the jury will do, and i think that's good. i don't think the jury needs to sit there through a ton of evidence. it's not that complicated a case he filled out the form. they are not going to actually have evidenced from when that form might have been altered, which i think should be in the case because that's the case. did he fill out the form correctly or did one of the employees altered? we know that the judge that that's not coming in and we know that the judge didn't a lot of pretrial rulings as to what's going to come in and what's not. so she probably can do it very quickly ryan, there was a lot of family around him, right on his wife his sister, ashley, was their first lady, jill biden was there so all these people who are there to support him terrion, i were just going through right before the show began, right. >> when did the de or trump came in first de terrion, i were both in the courtroom. that was the eighth day of testimony when keith davidson was there. and after days before that of jury election, right. so it took a long time for family to come in for trump and for anyone really to come in and he was a lonely place for him what's the

significance of the family presence for this jury? >> i think it sends a strong signal to the jury of sympathy for the defendant, and especially a defendant had went through drug addiction and so to have the family around him there in support, i think is a strong sign because that's in some ways what they're going for. they want the jury to look at the evidence and the light most favorable to him and that's what we'll get them. some of that distance at mark you've also got other cases though september los angeles another case for hunter biden, right? that's tax evasion, false tax returns, and that gets you even closer to the election on the potential impact if there is one of hunter biden versus brakes on his father's case. which trial do you think is a bigger threat to hunter biden though the tax evasion one false tax forms in california or this gun charge in delaware? >> i do. to tax evasion case is much more significant for numerous reasons. people do not like people who don't pay their taxes. i know he's going to use in that case is addiction or the throes of addiction as is reason or

excuse but if i remember correctly, the outstanding balance was somewhere north of 1 million in more taxes in most people pay maybe in your lifetime. so my thought is in a call. and again, the sentencing on those cases is increased by the amount of loss. so i think that's much more significant devours the defense team you can do away with one over the other, do away with california. try this case because even if he is convicted, probably not going to jail. but on the other case, he wrote definitely going to jail. and the other one if convicted rhyme i think so yeah, i think he's in a very tough situation that most people think he should have pleaded. and it's going to be fascinating to see because obviously the timing of that's gonna put it right up against the election at the impact on the election itself. and of course also on his father. >> thank you all very much. i appreciate it. and next breaking news, trump's appeal to remove fani willis from the georgia case gets a date this day is crucial because it will answer the question as to whether there's any chance that the georgia case by fani

preferred better science, better results. the cnn presidential debates, june 27th, nine live on cnn and streaming on max breaking news. a date for trump's trial in

georgia, a georgia court just now setting the date of october for that is for oral arguments and trump's appeal to kick de a fani willis off the case now, obviously, you look at that date. >> it's almost exactly one month before the presidential election. and getting the state of october 4, just tonight is coming weeks after a judge allowed willis to stay on the case, she was allowed to stay on as long as the then lead prosecutor, nathan wade, got off the case. of course, the two admitted to having a romantic relationship out front. now, ty cobb, the former trump white house lawyer on this breaking news to tie, were just finding out a georgia court is setting october 4th. this is for oral arguments in trump's effort to kick her off the case, right? it's not the case itself. it's in this whole whether she is or isn't on it. what does this new date mean for trump's georgia trial i think one thing it certainly means is again no possibility

this case going to trial before the election or likely before the end of the year and i think the stakes are very high here. >> i think it's a case where to fani willis may easily be removed from the case and that will be a further setback to the case also, keep in mind that she has cross appealed because she asia that right. but also that several of the accounts were dismissed because of the failure to adhere to certain pleading in technicalities and rather than simply fix those in the grand jury, she elected to appeal that. i'm not sure she has much likelihood of success on that, but it's further complicates the appeal. >> you're saying that it is possible that she could indeed be the trunk could be successful in getting her

kicked out off the case. now, i know ty, you and i've spoken a lot about this case. this is separate from your view of the case itself. but nonetheless, you think it is possible that trump could win this part of it. and fani willis goes away easily so then i guess let's just play it out this way because this gets to the heart of the issue itself, which is the case itself and its strength. let's just say ti for fun, fani willis steps down tomorrow voluntarily. i know this isn't going to happen, but if it happened what would that mean for the calendar? could you actually get this case done or tried before election day i don't think so. >> i think the claims on the appeal are so detailed in the relief they've sought and the reasons for for the relief. they've sought suggests that she's already damaged the case to a degree that is improper through her. misconduct and that it's saw infects the

case, that the case should be dismissed. i think that the likelihood is that the judge who's done an excellent job i think so far in this case, would let the appellate court rules before taking any action, even even if you did step down. but assuming even if you did step down at that he let it proceed, or the georgia court of appeals let it proceed because technically they have jurisdiction now, is this case is definitely not going to go to trial before the before the end of the year and quite likely will not. would i go to trial until sometime in late 20s, late 2025 or mid-2025 whether trump wins the election or not. if he does win there will be an effort to prevent the case. we're going to trial at all. and i think the likelihood is that even though there's no precedent for it that they would tend to follow the federal rule in court may impose a ruling following the federal rule that a president

cannot be distracted by criminal trial until after his term. >> i mean, it is really incredible because people have talked about this case and that the strength of this particular case. here we are, and that it may not get a day in court, certainly before election day, maybe ever you have trump wins the election tie. you've predicted that you will dismiss both special counsel, jack smith's cases on day one. so to literally be among the first things that he does so when you just laid out what you laid out with georgia, right. >> so some might say, well, but georgia's a state case that can go ahead and your talking about how they probably will follow the federal precedent and not do that how how real is the chance that trump avoids any trials from this point on for trying to overturn the 2020 election i'm sorry, it's very real if you win the election it's not real at all. if he loses because if he loses the sledgehammers out there that are the jack smith trial on

trump's failure to permit to peaceful transfer for power and the related classified documents, case for the use, abuse, and refusal to return those documents. is out there. both of those will end up going at some point if it's trump loses sight at some point nick, early next year, early to mid next year. and the georgia case would likely follow that along later and keep in mind that if he wins in this case, not only will the georgia case languish until the end of his term by any sentence that judge merchan might impose to the extended imposes a brain poses incarcerated sentence that would also linger until after trump's term at which point it will be at three plus so i think justice has been pretty elusive in these cases. and sadly in the georgia case, it's all of its all fani

willis, his own making yeah. >> oh, absolutely. >> that is the reality. thank you very much. i appreciate it. tie pleasure. >> thanks for having me, aaron. all right. you two and on that breaking news, you know, we're also getting some new reaction to trump's historic criminal conviction from republican lawmakers on capitol hill, right? some who have maybe been deciding which side to jump onto. well, they're jumping now and manu raju was outfront motto, you've been talking to people all day. you're on the steps of the capitol right now. what are they telling you yeah. >> i speaking to a lot of members from both sides of the aisle, including republicans who are in swing districts. the ones is fete in november will determine whether republicans can hang on to the majority of those republicans who are representing districts that joe biden himself carried in 2020 namely, it's places like new york and california and suburban dishes and the ligand asking them directly about donald trump's conviction on these 34 felony counts, if they will continue to stand behind, if they have any concerns.

well, they run away from the top of the ticket, but through and through a number of these members say that they will continue to get behind donald trump, no matter if there's backlash because his felony convictions doesn't hurt having a convicted felon. and a district like yours hook republicans my districts for very smart people firm grasp reality. >> they can smell so no issues, nominating a convicted felon i have no issues in supporting donald trump for president united states. i mean, you're running with it a convicted felon at the top of their ticket. i tasted process, not the same. >> and a lot of my constituents were focused on the fact of the trial not being fair, the process not being filled there and they're upset. they're angry. >> it's a concern you having a convicted felon at the top. >> i think the american people saw what happened in new york. they sought to, what we're typically misdemeanor here's being elevated of 34 felonies but there were still several other republicans in swing

districts who did not want to talk about this just moments ago. >> i'm trying to catch up with them. one of them comes from mike lawler of new york, also is one of a vulnerable republican, someone who is actually not endorsed donald trump yet he did come out, criticize this verdict when it came as a reached last week, but i got a paper statement, did not comment there. another one, tom kane junior, a new jersey republican, another swing digital republican, not saying how he views this whether he continued, we will continue to support donald trump's those questions about for some of the members. but overall, many of those most vulnerable members, aaron, continuing to say, they'll stand with the former president. >> yeah. i mean, amazing. and you asking them so directly, one after the other, there was no hesitation. they were very uncomfortable with what they were telling you so how are democrats? that's responding now that they're seeing how this is really playing out across the aisle there's actually a real debate within the democratic party right now about exactly bentley whether daub, joe biden should bang the drum. >> should really say day after day, he is running against a

convicted felon. use that as a core part of his messaging i'm democrats say absolutely he should and down trump would do essentially the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot, but others say that that is not what the electorate is in these swing states where the margins will make such a difference in hotly contested race and that biden should instead talk about economic issues, other issues, donald trump's record in office, the country burns about donald trump posted january 6 and the like and the conviction itself will play itself out. let's surrogates. do the attacking against donald trump over the fact that he is a convicted felon. that's debatable creating to play out and it's clear that the biden campaign is still trying to figure out its strategy and talking about the fact that donald trump is the first ever nominee here, convicted of a crime graduate of a felony, but some democrats say, embrace it, run on that because they believe that could and over some swing votes. >> amazing that they're unsure, just even see that, that play out in the democratic party. >> manu, thank you so much. and next, we're going to take you

>> now republicans focused much of their time hammering fauci, on the viruses origin why was it so important the virus not have started in a lab, wasn't so important that the virus not we don't know we know is important to someone in the biden administration is so much so that the top people at meta, the top people at facebook are asking, why are we getting all this pressure to downplay the lab-leak theory? >> what does that got to do with me? >> i'm asking you because you're the expert on coronavirus. i'm saying why did you cite this article at the white house? because the nih direct director asked you to suppress the lab-leak theory. >> i did not. do that in response to anybody suggestion to suppress anything. and i did not edit any paper as shown in my official testimony. so you said about four or five things congressman, that would just not true well, we have emails

just prove it. well, you don't well, the assault was relentless and at one point, the republican chairman actually had to admonish one of his own members for totally inappropriate behavior. >> marjorie taylor greene refused to address dr. fauci by his name did the american people deserve to be abused like that, mr. fauci, because you're not dr. your mr. fauci and my few minutes i've instructed her to address them as doctor july address doctor. we should be writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity front now congress, one row, ruiz, he is the ranking democrat on the qs fauci during today's hearing, also, a former er doctor. >> so dr. luisa, congressman lewis, thank you very much for being with me. so you just heard marjorie taylor greene

there, that refusal to use the word doctor for dr. fauci has of course, a doctor what's it like to sit in the room and have that happen? obviously, the republican chairman of the committee admonished her well, it was it was very difficult to experience but it was in clear display that the republicans had extreme behavior with extreme accusations that have been debunked over and over again, but it seems like it doesn't matter for them because they are still pursuing this very false narrative that somehow dr. >> fauci funded this research through ecohealth that created the covid-19 pandemic, and that he tried to cover it up and suppress the truth and bribe officials to to change their mind. all of that is absolute nonsense. and we've spent so much time and energy trying to address that narrative there. them trying to prove it and not getting to the real business of

preparing and propene, preventing the next viral pandemic, which, which is crucial and i want to asks you about, but on that lab-leak theory, i remember when senator tom cotton first came out with an article commentary about that it was very hastily well, it's do you feel comfortable at this point that you know why that happened do you feel comfortable that that really was just because they felt they had other things to focus focus on at the time and it wasn't worth talking about at that moment or do you still have questions as to why that was really shunted aside and put as sort of a at the time, you know, you're really out there talking point well, i think that the whole notion of the lab leak was bundled with the complete narrative that i had just mentioned about dr. fauci, dr. collins creating the coronavirus pandemic and that it leaked now if you dissect the possibility that this could

be a actual lab leak vert from the whole extreme accusations then one can say, and we still say this based on the evidence that we have that indeed it could be a lab leak or end. it could also be an animal transmission origin, but it was not the entire package of the narrative that they were trying to push that is manufacturers distrust and puts a lot of public health's lives in jeopardy through these violent death threats that they've been getting. >> he talked about those he did also talk about some things that he conceded on. he conceded, for example, congressman, that there's no scientific basis for the six feet distancing rules. he conceded there may have been negative repercussions since two vaccine mandates. >> do you still feel that he did the best that could have been done i think that he did

the best that he could have been done under the circumstances which he explained very early on, where we have thousands of people dying from this novel full virus. and we were figuring things out as we win. and with more data, we were able to adjust. now, let me back up for a second because the republicans tried hi to put the attack on the node data for the six feet of social distancing as an attack on the basic public health principle of social distancing. when you have an aerosolized or droplet transmittable virus from somebody's mouth. now, it doesn't take data to show you that if you jump off an airplane without a parachute, you're going to die. so we know that if you are far away from a person's ability to extract or cough or sneeze aerosolized droplets that you're going to be safer from receiving that droplet or aerosolized virus into your eyes, your nose, your mouth.

now the question that was asked is, was, was there any evidence to show whether it should have been six feet or tenth? beat or 50 yards, or three feet, and that is no. so they had a pick an arbitrary number to make it easy for people to understand the concept of social distancing all right, we'll congressman, i appreciate your time. >> thank you very much, congressman. dr. ways. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> next trump trending in china, images of the former president in an orange jumpsuit are going viral and state media is going all in and on trump's guilty verdict how come, while a special report is next on that crucial in this election season, which sayyed with china beyond and ukraine claiming it's using west mr. white weapons to strike inside russia. >> i'm going to speak to investigative journalist christo grozev, is new reporting on those strikes tonight for you first lady the american theater, because i'm afraid of the trunk like this
