10:00 am
party tweeted a photo of wedding rings taken from holocaust victims and wrote quote before they collected all these wedding rings. they collected all the guns. the chairwoman, christina karamo, dismissing the criticism , saying, people get way too offended. madam chairwoman. you need a history lesson. adam sandler and his funny friends are coming to cnn. the kennedy center presents the mark twain prize for american humor celebrating adam sandler that sunday night eight p.m. right here on cnn. appreciate your time to inside politics. we'll see you tomorrow. briana keeler picks up our coverage right now. hi there. i'm brianna keeler in washington, and we're following major developments in multiple criminal investigations surrounding former president trump first in manhattan. we've learned that the grand jury investigating the hush money scheme will not be voting on a
10:01 am
potential indictment today. they are meeting today they are not planning to discuss trump the manhattan d a s office now hitting back at house republicans, accusing them of launching an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution. and any separate case. this is some video here of trump defense attorney evan corcoran arriving at federal court this morning. he's there for a sealed hearing on whether mike pence will have to testify before a grand jury investigating trump's role on january 6th. but tomorrow, corcoran will face another grand jury as a witness. this comes after an appeals court quickly ruled corcoran can no longer invoked attorney client privilege in trump's classified documents case. we have reporters on the scene in new york and in washington, first to cnn's kara scannell, who is outside the courthouse in manhattan. carol, what's going on with the grand jury there? and as you said the grand jury is meeting today, but they are not hearing any testimony
10:02 am
related to the investigation into hush money opinions and former president donald trump's alleged role in those payments. now the grand jury can hear multiple cases at one time, so it's not unusual that they would be meeting and not hearing this case. but as we've been reporting, this investigation is very much ongoing and the grand jury will again hear testimony related to the trump related investigation on monday. and sources tell us that the district attorney's office is weighing whether they should bring in at least one other witness. other sources say that they're debating whether that one of those witnesses would be michael cohen, of course, is at the center of the hush money payments. these are all indications that the grand jury work isn't done yet. and we're waiting for manhattan, d a alvin bragg to make a decision. unprecedented decision of whether to seek an indictment of a former president, brianna his response to house republicans. keira it is just blistering. yeah they they fought back in a letter that they need today
10:03 am
public to the house republicans who wanted brag to come in for testimony, saying that the congress is a federal body, and they have no role in no place in a state or local d a s investigations. so in this letter brags office, writes the letter, referring to the house letter is an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution. the letter only came after donald trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day, and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiries, so they're putting this squarely on the congressman saying that they're doing it at the behest of donald trump and calling out trump's false claims that he would have been arrested on tuesday. purina. caitlyn poland's tell us about this appeals court ruling that a trump defense attorney has to testify in the classified documents case. this is set for tomorrow. what more can you tell us? right well, brianna, this is the end of the road. it appears for donald trump trying to hold
10:04 am
back his defense attorney evan corcoran, talking about conversations that the two had during their response to the federal criminal investigation into the keeping of classified records at mara lago. so a really big situation that the special counsel's office has been pushing for answers to. they want to know what happened with evan corker and what he heard what he said to trump what trump said to him. and we did get word from the appeals court yesterday. we don't have the full set of filings and what's going on here? it's all under seal, but we were able to see that the appeals court in d. c in this courthouse ruled that evan corcoran would have to turn over documents to the special counsel investigation as well as appear before the grand jury again. we expect him to come tomorrow, and he has been pretty busy this week, not just with that, but he was just here at this courthouse, taking part in another hearing, sealed hearing before or the chief judge in the separate criminal investigation into january, 6th. he was arguing alongside other lawyers
10:05 am
for donald trump about mike pence's testimony, whether he can be having certain things blocked when he may go before the grand jury as well under a subpoena, so a lot of stuff happening in this courthouse, brianna so busy right now, karen and caitlin, thank you to you both. let's talk now with shan wu, defense attorney and former federal prosecutor and also laura barone lopez, who was a white house correspondent for pbs news hour. can you have? alvin bragg, the manhattan d a responding in a blistering way as we were talking about to these house gop chairman saying that what they want his office to do is illegal. or house republicans asking for something illegal here. yes they're completely overstepping their authority here. it's very hypocritical that the party of states' rights is trying to ride roughshod over in new york state's sovereignty here first of all, even if this were a federal criminal investigation, congress really would have no business sticking their nose in
10:06 am
it because it's active. it hasn't even been charged. at this point, then when you add in the fact that this is a state criminal investigation, they really just have no basis for that. but the letter is blistering, and it's kind of funny to it will tone of humor there because they're saying well, to extend your asking about federal funds being used here. we'll write you a separate letter to let you know how the federal funds are being used because that's the early slightest hope they have jurisdiction over this. yeah the tiny tiny hook. so laura, you have joe manchin, right? he's kind of an outlier here. democratic senator with very particular politics in west virginia, warning that the court system shouldn't be seen as getting involved in politics, but largely democrats have been pretty quiet on the trump legal issues. what is their thinking here? that's right. brianna democrats with large as well as president biden in the white house and the white house were at large. they don't want to be seen as trying to interfere at all in these investigations that
10:07 am
whether it's the investigation in new york or the doj s investigations regarding classified documents or january 6th and the and trump's efforts to overturn the election results . they don't want to touch it at all, because they want to show that these are independent investigations, which they are. republicans on the other hand, particularly a growing number within the house gop have decided to really send a signal with these investigations, which right now are just based solely off of trump's comments earlier this week, which is that if you investigators try to hold the former president accountable for potential wrongdoings and criminal acts, then the house gop is going to investigate those investigators. a safe bet . probably so, shan, when you look at this grand jury, and i know part of this is donald trump set up this expectation of when he would be indicted right that that has sort of come and gone already. but what's going on with the timing? here is the d, a stalling. it's really hard
10:08 am
to say, because typically, the grand juries do here. more than one, um, case at the time. the time right now could be used to be drafting an indictment because they would need to give some careful thought to the drafting before they presented for a vote, but from the reporting that they may put in other witnesses that could be that they need to decide who to put in and to prepare the witnesses. now personally, i hope that they don't put into more that too many more witnesses because the grand jury is not the final place to resolve the case. you're really just either using it for probable cause to charge. or the d a. is using it kind of proactively to lock in testimony that they want to know about ahead of time, either defensively if it's a defense witness or affirmatively to make sure their own witnesses are solid, certainly i don't feel they need any more testimony from michael cohen. he's already testified so much and it could look like a sign of weakness to
10:09 am
put him in to rebut something, costello said, because it gives the grand jurors the idea, perhaps that the d a thinks there's an issue a real issue that costello raised. it's very interesting and politically here, laura. i know that some republicans don't really want to be talking about this right? they want to move on. they want to move on into the future, and it seems like this is what's actually going to occupy so much of this congress, though. that is, i mean, there are there is a segment of republican leaders more i would say in the senate than in the house that don't want to be talking about this that also want to be seen as impartial and not touching this house republicans and the leaders there, though, have taken a very different crack you saw immediately after trump tweeted about the fact that he thought he was going to be arrested that house speaker kevin mccarthy came to his defense, as did, uh the chairman jim jordans, who's saying he's going to investigate? hey alvin bragg and tried to discredit. uh
10:10 am
this potential this investigation and the potential charges so they are. i'm so sorry to interrupt you. i actually do want to go right now to the white house because president by president biden is there this is on the 13th anniversary of the affordable care act and hear comments that he's making today. we gathered in this room is president obama signed into law. the affordable healthcare act. hard to believe. 13 days 13 years ago. it seems like 13 days ago. most i think it was the most constant think most people agree most consequential piece of health care legislation since the creation of medicare and medicaid 1965. i talked to the president yesterday got a chance to speak with him. we did a little thing together. and it's an extraordinary achievement by president obama. and while the affordable care act has been called a lot of things, obamacare is the most fitting description. many of you joined
10:11 am
us that day after fighting for decades to make it happen. and i remember three words. i used the time i thought it was it was a big deal. and i stand by the fact it was a big deal. it's also also called it at that time historic day because history is not merely what's painted and printed on walls and textbooks. you know it doesn't begin or end with the stroke of a pen. history is made when women decide that there's a greater risk and accepting the situation they cannot bear, then stealing our spine and embracing the promise of change. you know, no one has more in response fine, and then the greatest speaker and history of this country. nancy pelosi.
10:12 am
dance is no exaggeration to say this would not be law without you. it would not be lost without you. the speakers, relentless push to get this law passed and then defended every every single turn. that we wouldn't be here today. and kamala. i want to thank you for everything you've done to defend this law as vice president. as united states senator. as attorney general, along with my son, beau biden. you brought it for both prod cases. to defend it, and i also want to thank camera for her leadership and fight to protect reproductive rights for women. she's leaving.
10:13 am
so many of you here worked so hard to make history that 13 years ago today. and i just want to start by saying thank you. and i mean it from bob hart. thank you. there's millions and millions of people who owe you because you're stuck with it and you keep defending it. 13 years later, it's easy to forget what life was like for hardworking families before the affordable care act. you know, but all of you remember, remember when a parent with the heart disease or diabetes or a child with asthma couldn't get coverage because of pre existing condition? remember when women had to pay more for insurance because they had a pre existing condition. they were a woman. and the jokers. it's say today to people they look at you like you're kidding me. but that was the case. remember when you couldn't leave a dead end job because you couldn't risk losing your health insurance. remember when a 22 year old kid could you kick off his parents plan
10:14 am
because he graduated from college. remember the donut hold when seniors on medicare reached the point every year when they had to pay the full cost of the drugs out of pocket. remember when millions of low and middle income families especially were particularly those families were locked out, locked out health insurance because there was no way they could afford it. none. i said earlier. my friends heard me say this before i can remember. we lived in a three bedroom split level home and my bedroom was up against the wall where my parents bedroom was in the dad's headboard was there and i remember when i was 14 years old. i remember my dad. i could see he was good here is just restless. and i asked my mom the next morning i went to work with mentorship. well his company just told they're not going to pay for health insurance anymore. how many people lie in bed awake, wondering remember when insurance companies can cut you off halfway through chemo. when because you reached the limit.
10:15 am
what they're willing to pay. remember i talked to you about this, chris. when my son beau was dying, came out dying in hospital because he has stage four glioblastoma. and i got a call from someone asking me for help because they thought they were going to have their insurance cut off because it ran. they ran out of time. i thought to myself. what in god's name would i do? have they come along, and said sorry. you've run out of your coverage. folks. the most vulnerable point in a person's life the moment when you really need it. you could hear the word sorry. your insurance has run out. folks are migrant republican friends and by that i want to be clear. there's some good, decent republicans out there. i'm not suggesting this is all about bad republicans. but this new crowd is it's not your scent your father's republican party. they may have forgotten. all i just said, but i haven't you haven't
10:16 am
all americans deserve a peace of mind that if an illness strikes or an accident occurs, you can get the care you need. but the truth is too many folks lying better not and said looks down to the ceiling one and my god, what happens if she gets breast cancer? i end up with a serious cancer or what happens to the kids? what then? what then? do we have enough insurance, afford the bills? what's going to happen? is against just gets bad enough. maybe we have to sell the house. we don't have any more equity. you know? i think it's a matter of what you value. i think all of us in the room value peace of mind for everybody. everybody deserves a little peace of mind for things they can't control. that's why my administration's focus intensely on building on the progress of the affordable care and getting more people affordable insurance law and prescription drug prices, giving families more breathing room. we have passed historic laws to get that done, and now we're moving
10:17 am
quickly and implement them so people can feel the effects in their everyday lives. the affordable healthcare act, expanded medicaid to cover additional 20 million people before it was passed. 20 fewer 20 million people have fewer people had insurance. so it expanded to cover 20 million more people on medicaid. abby is more cancers detected early. more mental health treatment available. less medical debt, fewer evictions. and i signed the american rescue plan, which went further and allowed states to extend medicaid coverage to new moms for up to one year after they gave birth instead of only for 60 days, remember what that did, but you guys did. 36 states and counting. and now we're extending to a full year coverage. all right. president biden celebrating on the 13th anniversary of obama care, the affordable care act, drawing a contrast there with republican budget proposals, making the
10:18 am
case that the is under attack by republicans. wall street cheering the news that rate hikes may be coming to an end the dow up here as you can see over 200 points, the fed raised interest rates for the ninth straight time yesterday. you can see there. we can barely fit them all on one chart right, but fed chair jerome powell signaled it could be the last rate hike of this aggressive cycle. that means the borrowing costs will stop rising and the fed thinks it's harsh medicine on inflation may finally be kicking in, but banking fears and also the knowledge that rate hikes tend to bring on recessions. still have economists and executives jittery. cnn's matt eagan is here to explain. okay matt, so maybe we don't have to worry about fitting more columns on the chart. nonetheless will powell's comments help smooth out this recent turbulence? well brianna. hopefully i think for now, though, the roller coaster
10:19 am
ride, at least on wall street continues. if we look at the big board, you know the dow is up 200 points. you know, 2000.6% that is nice to see. but this comes after a whole lot of volatility. i mean, there was a late day selloff yesterday with the dow felt more than 500 points. we've seen a whole series of ups and downs in the market, and a lot of this is really being driven by concerns and uncertainty about the federal reserve. now powell is really trying to thread the needle here, right? on the one hand, the fed is going forward with this warrant inflation by raising interest rates, but they're also signaling of real willingness to pause there right rate hike campaign, but you know there's just a lot of uncertainty right now. powell smartly left himself a lot of wiggle room. i think the biggest question is how much damage this banking crisis is going to do to the economy because in a lot of ways, the stress that we've seen in banks is actually doing the
10:20 am
fed's job for it right. it's cooling the economy off by making it harder for us to get loans and more expensive to have credit card debt and mortgages. um powell even said we can think of this as basically the equivalent of one interest rate hike or, he said, maybe more and i think that's actually the whole problem here is no one. not even the fed knows just how much damage this is going to do to the economy. and ironically, briana, you know if this proves to be a brief episode, which we hope it does in the banking situation stabilizes, the fed may actually have to do more work to cool off inflation. alright matt. thank you so much . matt eagan. we appreciate it both sides of the aisle coming together today for a brutal grilling of tiktok ceo how the executive responded to tough questions about its chinese owners, american data collection and the abuse of children on its platform, plus the faa laying out new steps for airline safety after a series of terrifying

10:26 am
more control, more surveillance and more manipulation. your platform should be banned. cnn's alex marquardt is in washington. i don't know of a hearing that may have captured more attention of a broader spectrum of americans that alex tell us what happened here. you're absolutely right, brianna. it is a rare moment of true bipartisanship on capitol hill among democrats and republicans, both in the house and in the senate over this deep concern over the potential for chinese access to more than 150 million americans data as well as the potential for china to in the future, carry out some kind of information or influence campaign. we should note that at the time being for now, you know these are just potentials. this is not something that china has been seen to do. but there is serious concern and that is why the tiktok ceo shu shu was up on capitol hill today trying to assuage these lawmakers of their concerns. he does not appear to
10:27 am
have been terribly successful. blistering responses from these lawmakers as you said one republican from florida, accusing tiktok of literally leading to the death of children , the chairwoman, cathy mcmorris , rodgers, saying that tiktok is a weapon of the chinese communist party for brianna. so much of this concern does focus. on how this data is accessed how it is managed. tiktok has has tried to argue that they are able to fire wallet and block it off from access by china through something called project, texas . let's take a listen to a quick exchange about that. yes or no. do any bite dance employees in china, including engineers currently have access to user us user data. today all us user data is stored by default in the oracle cloud infrastructure and access to that is controlled any american dancer employees in china, including engineers currently have access to us data. congressman would
10:28 am
appreciate this. this is a complex topic today. all data by not that complex. yes or no? do they have access to user data we have after project texas. is the ant done? the answer is no. so the ceo, they're saying that china would not have access. but lawmakers and many experts do not believe that they still believe that china would would exert influence and control over this chinese company bite dance that is something that's been echoed by the u. s department of justice, exciting china's national security law. so the u . s has said that tiktok could face a ban unless bite dance were to divest from tiktok bite , dance and tiktok have said that that would not solve the u. s. concerns so if the u. s were to proceed, brianna, this would likely end up in the courts with a lengthy legal battle and, of course, if it were to be banned, could have major ramifications
10:29 am
for these more than 150 million americans, particularly young americans who actively use the platform, brianna yeah. use it and use it for hours a day, alex . thank you for that. we appreciate it tune in to cnn. primetime tonight when abby phillip takes a look at tiktok future she's going to host is time up for tiktok tonight at nine. eastern, the faa is laying out some new steps to help prevent close calls between airplanes. this is coming after an alarming number of these near collisions that we've been seeing this year at airports all around the country. we have cnn aviation correspondent pete montini joining us live. tell us what we learned about these new guidelines. pete transportation secretary pete buddha judge brianna just spoke about this on capitol hill. and he says that category a and category b runway incursions with their officially called the most severe type of these on or near runway collisions were happening at a rate of about one every month. now, he says, the rate has
10:30 am
doubled, which is really caused the faa to try and act here. they've really laid out two different prongs of this issuing a bulletin two pilots underscoring to them that they should be extra vigilant as they fly, but also this five point plan to air traffic controllers laying out steps that will be taken in air traffic control towers and facilities across the country. more supervisors more training for unusual circumstances, which also is really interesting here is that the faa wants to improve training and reduce the training backlog because the staffing shortage of air traffic controllers is something that keeps coming up again and again . in fact, the faa just owned up to it a bit. saying that there is a shortage at the new york tracon terminal radar approach control facility. that's a key facility in new york controls the airspace around the three busy airports in the metro area . the shortage there really severe, only 54% staffing there right now 90% staffing nationwide, so the faa really
10:31 am
needs to hire some more people, according to air traffic control unions, transportation secretary people to judge though, attributes these problems to a kind of rust that has been seen among pilots and airports, and he says the system is really pressed to the limit right now and it can't compromise on safety. listen to what buddha judge said. we think that the uptick is partly related to the exceptionally fast surge in demand and the swift return to the skies faster than even the most optimistic scenarios that we heard a couple of years ago. we need to make sure sure, of course, that as that system comes back to that high level of demand, there is no negative safety impact to that. the national transportation safety board is investigating six of these runway incursions that have happened since the start of this year. in fact, we're learning of even more coming to light one that happened in january. we just found out about it between an ambulance that was crossing one of the runways that be wi in maryland and a
10:32 am
southwest airlines flight that was taking off both of those vehicles narrowly missing one another brianna we've seen so many of them right? it's like this blinking sign. we know that there have been so many close calls. they have to address this so that we don't see anything worse also, pete, i know that you have news on this dramatic story today about a passenger who stepped in to help when the plane's captain actually had a medical emergency mid flight. what happened here? it sounds like something out of a movie. brianna you know, on the southwest flight, 60 13 from las vegas to columbus, ohio, got only about 27 minutes into the flight southwest says one of the pilots on board had an apparent medical emergency. that is when a pilot in the passenger cabin flying for a completely different airline was pressed into service and stepped into the flight deck. southwest airlines says that pilot who was off duty helped out with the radio communications to try and bring this plane back under the ground safely. reverted back to las vegas airport. no real issues there. the big mystery
10:33 am
now is who is this person? no airline, really claiming who this off duty pilot was pretty incredible work, though. i mean, do we even know how that happened? did someone say is there a pilot on board or did it just become apparent? they needed help? you know, normally someone yells. oh is there a doctor on board? did they say that? i mean, pilot southwest is being a little bit coy. you know what's really interesting here is that pilots you know myself included were all kind of thinking always in the back of our minds when we get into a commercial airliner, what will we do if the question comes up? is there a pilot on board and so it seems like this pilot flew for a different airline, and we just pressed into service. helping out with the radios is a pretty good job. although remember that a southwest 7 37 7 37 in general can be flown with one pilot. this is one of the reasons why there are two pilots on board, but you can still fly it with one so really right place right time here, brianna. yeah and look easier to do if you have someone manning the radio. i suppose i know you could do that, pete. i have no doubt you can do it. montini's thank you still ahead of danger

. james craig is being held without bond and court documents list a heap of evidence that includes suspicious web searches like how to make poison and how many grams of arsenic will kill a human. cnn's jean casarez is following this i mean, it sounds clearly like a planned sinister plot here that he left a lot of evidence. of in this alleged crime. what do you learning and brianna? he has now been formally charged with first degree murder and under colorado law that is deliberation with the intent to kill or malice, extreme indifference to human life. let's look at the timeline here because the probable cause affidavit for arrest had so much information and that timeline begins on march 6th because that is when he received an order of arsenic. now his wife, angela, was not in town. she was visiting her sister. she gets back on the fifth, but then on the sixth, she starts to feel bad and she's admitted to the
10:40 am
hospital. now her husband. he orders oleandrin. now the delivery. he doesn't get it. but he ordered that chemical on the day she went into the hospital. then she's released from the hospital. she goes back again. the third time march 9th to 14th . she goes back into the hospital, and he orders potassium cyanide. now on that sixth win, it all began. there is a text that is included in this affidavit where she's not feeling well, let's show that to everybody, she says. i feel drugged, he responds. given our history. i know that must be troubling. just for the record. i didn't drug you. i am super worried, though. you really look pale before i left like in your lips even now, let me tell you the backstory to that her sister . she just visit her sister told law enforcement in an interview. my sister told me when she was visiting me that 5 to 6 years ago. her husband dig drug her.
10:41 am
and that he's explained the reason he drugged her was that he was going to go in the bathroom and commits suicide, and he didn't want her to be able to stop him. and that's why he did it now, one more thing that is fascinating from this probable cause affidavit the potassium cyanide that he ordered he actually had to explain a reason of why he was ordering it, and he said that he was a surgeon. performing a cranial facial reconstruction and the chemical will help with the layering of alternative medals that arrived to his office. he had told office staff . i'm getting a personal package . don't you open it, but an office manager opened it saw it was potassium cyanide had no business being in that dental office. that is what it essentially broke this case because they reported it. as a mandatory reporter to law and force mint, and that's when everything unraveled. we do want to say that according to all of
10:42 am
these texts and all of this information from because affidavit, he said in numerous texted his wife had wanted to commit suicide in the past, and he believed that she was trying to do that again. so whether or not that is the defense, we don't know he has not yet. entered a plea, brianna all right. we'll be looking for that. jean thank you for taking us through all of that. i want to bring in criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor bernarda v alona. so bernarda, let's say that this guy comes to you and wants you to take on his case. what is the defense that you put forward? so as you can see, this is going to be a very complex case because as you can see from the 50 page affidavit probable cause affidavit, there is a lot of evidence that is showing the guilt of mr crack. so in terms of if he were to come to me and asked for me to defend them, of course, after i get paid, we will have to evaluate all the evidence that exists, but it looks like the most probing type of defense
10:43 am
would be to say that she committed suicide as opposed to that he is the one who actually poisoned her because baby based on what he has laid out in different text messages and talking to other people. it has to coincide with what he's already said to other people and has said to law enforcement in the sense that when he tried to divorce her that she started going on opiates, and that may have may try to overdose in the past, but again, this is all coming from his mouth. how would you get past the fact that he ordered apparently three deadly substances? well, we're gonna have to do a lot of research having to deal with what dentists do. and what type of, uh i don't say need in order to perform their jobs. but the last time i think i was at the dentist, i don't think using cyanide was an option to get a cavity filled. so that's gonna be very difficult. and as you can see his own employees from that office from the dental
10:44 am
office has evidence and testimony to provide against that, and it doesn't help those searches on the computer where he she's googling. what is the best option? where can arsenic be detected in an autopsy? what are the top five points in that can't be detected, so those are very difficult hurdles that defense is going to have to try to overcome if they want to save this man from being in jail for the rest of his life. yeah what i'm hearing you say is this is a tough case. very tough case to defend from what we're hearing so far, bernarda. thank you so much for your insight. the cdc says that two more people to have died after using artificial tears, eye drops that were contaminated with a rare strain of deadly bacteria. some eyeballs have even had to be surgically removed because of this, and you have the cdc and the fda now investigating the company, global pharma healthcare, has recalled its artificial tears. lubricant eyedrops distributed by ezra

10:46 am
