welcome back. it's 6:31. thanks for joining us. i'm max darrow. new decisions by judges are affecting two cases against former president donald trump. in the georgia case, a special prosecutor resigned. in new york, a case involving payments to adult film star stormy daniels will be delayed. bradley blackburn joins us live with the latest. good morning. there are a lot of different time lines to follow here. >> reporter: there are. in the new york case it was supposed to begin in just over a week. former president trump's attorney asked for a longer
6:33 am
delay. the judge gave him 30 days. they are seen at partial victories for the trump legal team as he continues to face serious charges. hours after a judge's ruling in former president trump's georgia election interference case, nathan wade tendered his resignation. the judge's ruling ordered fani willis to step aside or order wade to quit the case because they were involved romantically and it created an appearance of impropriety. >> he had to. no way it would be the elected district attorney of fulton county fani willis that steps down. >> reporter: on social media, former president trump celebrated the decision calling wade a disgrace. in a letter to willis, wade wrote he was resigning in the interest of democracy and move this case forward as quickly as possible. an attorney that represented kenneth chesebro said the legal
6:34 am
wrangling set back the start of a potential trial. >> the case goes from almost impossible going to trial before november to actually impossible to going to trial before november. >> reporter: in new york city, another judge handed down a partial victory for former president donald trump legal team ordering a 30-day delay in another criminal trial. he faces felony charges for falsification of business records related to payments to adult film star stormy daniels. trump's attorneys asked for a 90-day delay claiming that recently began receiving 100,000 pages of documents in pretrial discovery. >> the new york trial could begin april 15th but could face further delays. the judge will have a hearing on the dispute on march 25th and a formal trial date would be set sometime after that, max. >> bradley. what is former president trump's legal team saying about these various
6:35 am
cases and what the rulings mean? >> reporter: his attorneys say they will use all legal options in former president trump's defense. they didn't get exactly what they were asking for in either of the cases. but as we said, these are seen as partial victories. what we are seeing is proof of how different legal maneuvers can slow the process down in the courts. the big question is whether prosecutors can push the cases to trial before the election. altogether, former president trump faces four separate criminal cases. in the georgia case alone he is facing 10 different charges including racketeering. >> bradley blackburn live for us this morning. thank you for your reporting. vice president kamala harris is taking a firm stance on cannabis reform. she said it is absurd that cannabis is considered more dangerous than
6:36 am
fentanyl. cannabis legalization -- at the meeting harris said the dea was working on cannabis reform. she noted the importance of drawing a line between can in a bass and orbs on the drug scheduling system. >> this issue is stark when one considers the fact that on the schedule currently, marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin. marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin and more dangerous than fentanyl which is absurd not to mention patently unfair. >> reporter: before the midterms in 2022, president biden pardoned all prior federal offenses for simple marijuana possession and encouraged all governors to pardon state offenses. he sought a review of the drug classification under federal law. pleasant weather in store through st. patrick's day

6:39 am
means for all of us as a global community allowing this to happen. >> reporter: he will never forget the sounds of drones and planes buzzing overhead, the screams and the smell of charred flesh. he worked in a field hospital tending to injured civilians, set up to treat about 30 patients daily. this past week they saw almost a thousand patients each day. mass casualties left the doctors color coding people if they had a chance at survival to receive care. >> we went through resources to save lives and limbs. i saw more dead babies in the past month than i have seen in my 12 year career in medicine. >> reporter: he is a refugee himself who grew up in the west bank and immigrated to los angeles. he was taught to use his individual gifts to benefit the world. so, it was a no
6:40 am
brainer to go to gaza despite the risks to his life. >> don't go around life functioning out of fear. it paralyzes us to do the things we need to do. >> reporter: while he is fortunate and relieved to see his family and friends again, there is another feeling as well. >> you feel deep guilt that i left the people there that i have grown to have a deep connection with and a love for. >> reporter: he says what he saw in gaza will shape him for the rest of his life. >> i learned from this experience the importance of human nicing everyone around you. because we have come to a state in our global society where it's easy to dehumanize the other person. that gives you a green light in many ways to commit atrocities that you never imagine you would commit. >> reporter: when asked if he would go back, he said
6:41 am
absolutely, without hesitation, willing to risk it again to help others. a charity ship unloaded 200 tons of humanitarian supplies including food and water for palestinians. it arrived from cyprus. the israeli military said it's the first ship to use a new sea route to bring aid into gaza. a second aid ship is expected to set sail on the same route soon. they hope it eases the hunger crisis, but aid agencies say it won't be enough to make up for the lack of deliveries on land. across the world and here in the united states, many muslims began participating in the holy month of ramadan this week. this video is out of new jersey showing people kneeling in prayer during a special noon service yesterday. for muslims, ramadan is marked by daily facing and increased worship, charity and good deeds. normally a celebration. this year the israel-hamas war cast a shadow over ramadan as many
