recalcitrant witnesses. you'll have trump's people over here who are saying well that we're pushing the executive privilege and it should go on up and, um and i think you'll see that the courts held in fairly short order compared to a typical appeal in a regular case again. this this is just a case, but at the same time, it's historic. on his face, and for those people who are worried about what might happen, they should read the nixon case that supreme court made pretty short order of this back during the watergate days and said, you just can't hide. this kind of conduct behind executive privilege is it's not your shield. yeah and now we will see a lot of questions around how this changes the former president's exposure. michael moore, thank you so much for your expertise in this. we appreciate it and that does it for me. don't go anywhere, though. we have much more on our breaking news right now.

hello and welcome to the cnn newsroom. boris sanchez, everyone boris great to be with you. i'm jessica dean and we begin with breaking details another major legal blow to former president donald trump. on the day his attorney had to testify before a federal grand jury. in one case. we're learning. in a separate case, his former top administration aides have now been ordered to testify, and that includes his past white house chief of staff mark meadows. this specific investigation is the federal criminal. probe into donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election loss. cnn senior crime and justice reporter caitlin poland's is with us live standing outside of the department of justice on a rainy day. caitlin tell us so much about this development, the claim of executive privilege by the former president thrown out by this judge. right so this is another attempt where donald trump was coming into court secretly behind closed doors and

trying to say that people around him should not be answering questions about his direct communications with him in this situation, it would be a claim of presidential confidentiality or executive privilege, and we do know that there are several different people who were top aides around him, even a cabinet member at the time around january 6th where he was trying to block them answering questions and the federal judge barrel howell, who was the chief judge of this court until last week, one of her last rulings was striking this down, just deciding that no, he wasn't going to be able to make these sorts of claims and block people from answering additional questions about those direct type of conversations, people like mark meadows, his chief of staff in the white house. john ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, the national security advisor at the time. robert o'brien, ken cuccinelli, a cabinet member. homeland security officials, the secretary and then to top aides,

stephen miller and dan scavino. we have been able to confirm all of those people are affected by this now. trump did give a response, saying that the prosecutors are continuously stepping far outside the standard norms in attempting to destroy longstanding, long held constitutionally based standards here. including around executive privilege, but really in criminal investigations, it is. it is very often that prosecutors are able to use the grand jury to get answers even when people try to make claims around the presidency like this , so this isn't the first time it's happened in this investigation. related to january 6th. but this would be a pretty big decision from judge howell going forward for special counsel jack smith. yeah, sure thing. caitlin and i also want to talk about a separate case against former president donald trump, in which his attorney, evan corcoran, was in court today being forced to testify their walk us through that. right another proceeding behind closed doors. this was the grand

jury investigating the handling of classified documents at mara lago after trump left the presidency and possible obstruction of justice evan corker and his defense attorney was forced as well by judge howell to come back into court and answer additional questions that he did not want to answer. about what happened after he and his team received a subpoena from the justice department last year, saying hand back all of the classified documents that might be in mar a lago. and then the fbi. of course, did went in tomorrow. lago found many, many documents and so there wasn't full compliance with that subpoena right away. and so that is what we know. prosecutors wanted to ask evan about kevin corcoran about today. we don't know exactly what happened within that grand jury. but now we're going to be watching. what the what the investigation. does from here. do they calling more witnesses, or did they get enough from him where they believe they may want to look to charge a case? alright caitlin's stay with us. we know you'll be

getting more details and reporting as the hours go by caitlin poland's thanks so much and joining us now is cnn legal analyst elliot williams, who helped lead the justice department as deputy assistant attorney general elliot it's great to see you. there are so many cases right now, and it's hard for all of us to keep straight. i can't imagine if you're watching. it's hard for you to keep straight. but elliot, let's start first with the first one. we were talking about this breaking news that we just got that in this january 6th investigation that all of these top aides, including former president trump's chief of staff, mark meadows will be compelled to testify. what do you make of that development? also significant development jessica so the way executive privilege operates and works is that the senior aides to the president and the president ought to be entitled to protection around conversations they have with the president when they're doing their jobs now, the problem and i think what what a federal judge is recognized here, at least identified here is that some of the some communications around

january 6th were beyond the scope of just the work of the white house. you're talking about the former president as a candidate, but also perhaps the target or subject of criminal investigations here, and that's why the court was able to find it seems again. we haven't seen the opinion it's under seal, but but that's what happens in an executive privilege matter. well, elliot this claim from the former president's attorneys of executive privilege over communications in an administration that is no longer in office. it's old for like what, like 30 attempts by trump's lawyers to make this thing stick, is it that we're not going to see these executive privilege claims anymore? you think no, i very well still, may. now there's a very strong argument being that there is made and put forward that executive privilege rests with the presidency, not an individual president and that the proper party to exert executive privilege would be president biden or the buyer, or, you know, or the subsequent

president, whoever that might be, whether it's president biden, another president in the future, but but beyond that point, also, the nature of the communications matter, and so, for instance, if a president is a candidate for office and speaking with some of the people around him or her about the candidacy or campaign issues or or whatever that may be. those really aren't the work of the white house, and there was would fall into an area that just simply would not be protected under executive privilege. and then again, you get to the point if people were talking about the possible commission of crimes. those simply aren't going to be protected communications and i think the courts are beginning to recognize that okay. now let's move on to the second case. it's also a federal case. this is the one which evan corcoran forms. trump's attorney , has been compelled to testify , which is a very rare thing for an attorney to have to testify potentially against their own client. and elliot. you said that that the line that the trump team has been using is really key, and i want to read it for everybody. prosecutors only attack lawyers when they

have no case whatsoever. why do you think that's so key? and how would you? how would you read into that? so we're talking now about attorney client privilege . i feel like march 24th is privileged day across america totally separate, privileged day , everyone which very privileged , but the point is when we speak about the law protects conversations that attorneys have with their clients. with the exception that those conversations can be used to commit or shield a crime, and it's very, very rare to get behind the attorney client privilege is almost never happens anywhere across the united states now, the statement the foreign prince, attorneys of that the president's attorneys that they only attack attorneys in the problem is simply not the case. what you have here was a remarkable scenario in which a federal court and the federal appeals court both found that there was at least some evidence that statements between the

former president and his attorney were either themselves evidence of a crime or used to shield the possible commissioner doesn't have to be a crime committed by the president himself. merely that there was some crime committed in the statements related to it, so it's really a big deal, and i think it's a little bit dismissive of the legal process and a truly remarkable scenario to say that well, you know, all they're doing is attacking attorneys because they have nothing else. it may also be premature, given that we don't know the extent of corcoran's testimony, yet we'll see where it heads. elliot williams, thanks so much for the expertise. we want to give it to a boris. yeah very privileged day. like you said, we want to pivot to major international news now specifically zeroing in on the middle east and syria because the u. s military is striking back after a deadly drone attack killed an american contractor and wounded five service. members of the pentagon says that in iranian made drone struck a base in northeast syria

an official telling cnn that it was a one way drone that intentionally crashed into its target. president biden responded with airstrikes against groups affiliated with iran's revolutionary guard in syria. what you're looking at is social media video that appears to show the flaming aftermath of the u. s strikes. i think we're going to go to the pentagon right now where we're expecting to get a briefing on this. let's see if we can listen in on that and northeast northeast syria at approximately 1 38. p. m local time. secretary austin at the direction of president biden authorized u. s. central command forces to conduct precision strikes into eastern syria. against facilities used by groups affiliated with iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. the airstrikes were conducted in response to yesterday's attack. as well as a series of recent attacks against coalition forces in syria. by groups affiliated with the irgc. in terms of air strike details to us air force f 15 e fighter

aircraft assigned to us air forces central and based in the centcom area of responsibility. struck to irgc affiliated facilities at approximately 7 40 pm eastern time. or 2:40 a.m. local. the facilities were located near dour zur. in eastern syria, and we're continuing to assess the outcome of the strikes. initial indications are that the facilities were destroyed in regards to any militant casualties were still assessing. precision strikes were intended to protect and defend us personnel and the us took proportionate and deliberate action intended to limit the risk of escalation and minimize casualties. as secretary austin said in his statement. no group will strike our troops with impunity. again secretary austin along with the department of defense, offer our thoughts and prayers to the family and colleagues of the american contractor who was killed and with those who are wounded in the attack. our forces deployed

in syria continue to conduct their important mission in support of the international coalition to ensure the enduring defeat of isis. separately secretary austin and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general milley testified yesterday before the house appropriations subcommittee on defense. to discuss the president's fiscal year 2024 budget next week. both leaders are scheduled to testify before the senate armed services committee in the house armed services committee on diodes, budget posture and our future years defense program. again. the secretary and the chairman look forward to working with congress to provide our service members serving around the world with the resources that they need to accomplish diodes mission. and strengthen america's national security for the 21st century and beyond. finally on wednesday, secretary austin unveiled a comprehensive plan aimed at improving the lives of our dedicated military force and their families. the new plan consists of six additional actions that address essential needs and education, childcare, parental leave and

career advancement. the department of defense is committed to working with congress and other stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of these measures . the plan directs the implementation of the following universal prekindergarten diode education activity schools. dependent care, flexible spending accounts for service members. promoting awareness of new military parental leave benefits. improvements to the exceptional family member program. expanded spouse eligibility for career advancement, account financial assistance and continuing efforts for portability for professional licenses for military families. secretary austin and the department of defense or dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our service members and their families. through these new measures, the d o d will collaborate with congress and state partners to ensure the successful implementation and ongoing support of these initiatives. the memorandum and additional information can be found on the website. and with that, i will take your

questions. we'll start with a p leader baldur. thanks pat. a couple of things. just one quick clarification in the counter strikes that the u. s. hit three or two was it three strikes or two strikes 22 different facilities. so two strikes strikes. okay. and then secondly , can you talk a little bit about the protection at the uh, based where the iranian drone hit. my understanding is that there was some, um either lacking protections there. can you say whether or not any of the radars or aerostats or anything that are there? either failed or not operating. is there adequate protection there now? how did the drone pierce the security of that base, and then i have one follow up. so first of all, broadly speaking for operation security reasons,

i'm not going to get into the specifics in terms of the types of force protection capabilities we have in our facilities other than to say we take force protection. very, very seriously . um, i will say, you know, as it pertains to radar. my understanding is that there was a complete sight picture in terms of radar. all that said, as is the case in any type of attack, us central command will conduct a review to assess what happened and take a look at what if any, other type of mitigating actions need to be taken. but it would obviously be premature to talk about that. and then you're following just a quick follow up on the actual, uh uh huh. situation now, obviously, the u. s um, was struck again. green village was hit again in response to those with the u. s retaliatory strikes. are things escalating there. can we expect more? is this, um, turning into a far more escalatory situation in syria for the troops? sure

and as you highlight this morning at approximately 805 am local time, which would have been one oh 58 am eastern time we had 10 rockets that targeted coalition forces at green village in northeast syria. the attack resulted in no injuries to us or coalition personnel and no damage to equipment or facilities. in terms of escalation. look again. our focus in syria is on the defeat isis mission and that will remain our focus. we do not seek conflict with iran. we don't seek escalation with iran, but the strikes that we took last night. or intended to send a very clear message that we will take the protection of our personnel seriously and that when we respond quickly and decisively if they're threatened, you gotta farty. yeah. thank you, general. i have two questions. so, according to the d o d. the intelligence assessment is this to be of iranian origin, the groups that

were targeted by the u. s or affiliated with the iranian revolutionary guard. one american citizen was killed. six more were injured. do you and the department and secretary of defense hold iran responsible for the death of an american citizen? look, we know that these groups are sponsored by iran, so iran certainly plays a role in terms of ensuring that this type of activity doesn't happen. so is he runs responsible for the death of an american citizen or not? look iran certainly again backs these groups and by default, therefore has a responsibility to ensure that they are not contributing to insecurity, instability but clearly they continue to do that. thank you, jennifer. let me let me go questions. make it quick. so yesterday, general carrillo was on the hill delivering his testimony. according to the d o d statement. the attack happened at 1 38 local type, so that was before prior to his testimony

when he delivered his testimony on the hill. did he know about the attack? and if so, why didn't he inform the congress about it to refer you to general carrillo? thank you, jennifer. general writer. what kind of drone was this iranian drone. and how fast was it flying when it came towards the base and did it in the end, actually crash into the base or did it a fire? it's missiles at the brace. thanks jennifer. so we're still assessing some of those pieces. i don't have that information to provide. other than we are very confident that based on the forensics based on the intelligence analysis that we've done that it was of iranian origin crash into the facility or fire a weapon at the facility did not fire a weapon to my knowledge. um if you say the radar was working, and if you were tracking it, and drones don't fly that quickly. um how is it that it was able to crash

into the base and you say that you're protecting those basics again? this is a dangerous part of the world. the work that we do is inherently dangerous. that's why you have the military in these types of places conducting these types of operations. we've seen rocket attacks mortar attacks in the past from these kinds of groups again. centcom will do an assessment in terms of the attack. but the fact is that these irgc back groups conducted this attack and unfortunately we had in the rickon kill. wasn't there a contingency to shoot down the drone if it was coming into the base? again look, we take a variety of measures to safeguard our people. but again , it's an inherently dangerous place and again, we'll look into the details of the actual type. thank you. we go to janey. thank you, general. i have to occasions. nurse could you announced that it had conducted their nuclear underwater explosion test and the kim jong

un said that he would respond the aggressively truth us and south korea. how will do us react? today's yes. so i'm aware that north korea issued a press release about this, um. supposing capability. i've seen the press reports and you're watching now. this update from the pentagon on this drone strike by american by america back with us, now cnn's natasha bertrand from the pentagon, natasha what's the latest that you're learning? so a couple of new details that we got from the pentagon press secretary there specifically that the fighter jets carried out this airstrike on these iran and iran backed facilities in syria, where two u. s. air force f 15 e fighter aircraft and they actually stuck to facilities and we were told earlier today that those facilities were aware of iranian proxy groups were housing some

munitions and also using as a base to gather intelligence. now we're also told by by rider there that the pentagon is still assessing the number of militant casualties that actually resulted from that air strike is unclear. how many people actually died there, however, uk uk based human rights monitoring group says that there were at least eight killed as a result of that u s airstrike. but look, there were a lot of questions here about why that couldn't have been that that, um that iranian drone strike could not have been prevented right? because the point was made that these drones don't move very quickly. and that perhaps the base could have taken some measures to try to take it down before it crashed into that facility that was housing, us personnel and the question and the answer that we got from the pentagon press secretary there was that they're essentially assessing what happened here is his understanding that the radar was all operating pretty correctly. and so the question now is. what can they do better to mitigate that potential risk in the future? and he did say that u s central command is

carrying out an assessment right now about how they can better protect us. troops and personnel stationed there. only the latest in a round of attacks from these iranian backed groups. some 80 drona rocket attacks on us troops in that region since the beginning of 2021 on natasha bertrand from the pentagon. thank you so much. let's get some perspective now from retired brigadier general peters wack. he's a wilson center. global fellow at the canon institute, sir. thank you so much for being with us. and as we noted that statistics 78 drone or rocket attacks on us troops in that area since 2021 obviously there, brigadier general pat rider asked about the security of these facilities . look the focus of the united states from a security perspective obviously is on eastern europe. it's on the pacific but is enough being done to protect and fortify our assets. in syria in this fight, continuing fight against isis. i believe that the forces on the ground force protection and

these type of environments um, i have seen it is paramount, paramount and, um and but the nature of war, the unpredictability of conflict. it's not perfect. it's not a perfect science and sometimes um um missiles or drones will get through. um i think that what we would know is that this is in in in when you look at the whole picture fairly rare, but but it did happen. 78 attacks, apparently over the last few years between syria and iraq. uh and yes, but i gotta believe those those ground commanders whose responsibility it is very number one is forced protection before offensive operations. and general, we know that iran often uses these proxy groups to carry

out these attacks, which is what apparently reportedly happened here. help us understand and why they do that. does that allow them to keep their hands clean as it were? we heard that reporter trying to press the general there about if iran was responsible for this american death, and he didn't quite. he just stopped short of saying that they were. what do you make of all of that? proxy forces. when we hear of that we think of first of all, there is the irgc revolution guard and they kind of are the if you will, uh, managing and quarterbacking, however, you've got shia militias in there. you've got the locals. um um and you have also, in fact, darrow's or where we saw the, um uh, attack yesterday was where sight of a very, very, very tough us and

ally engagement with russian proxies there and over estimated 200, including wagner group in 2018, so there is a swirl of different activities now the key point with the iranian proxies is where they really have a swath that goes through syria's of sort of wild west south. um um is also risks and it makes the russians crazy of getting the israelis more involved, and the israelis have done a number of these type of strikes that we are doing now in against the syrians and iranians as well. it's a complete mix of groups proxies. countries up in the northeast have got the united states you've got russians. you've got turks. you have the syrians and you have the kurds and all of that is working. and in there you have these sort of

, you know difficult to identify liege, ince's of groups that shift from time to time. right yeah, a lot at play there. retired brigadier general peters wack. thank you so much for your analysis there. we appreciate it. massachusetts. so we are just moments away from president biden, addressing the canadian parliament as part of his 24 hour world wind tour of the country. we're going to bring that to you live as soon as he takes the podium, stay with cnn newsroom we're back in moments. cnn newsroom is brought to you by far. sega visit us at .com for more. i wouldn't have chronic kidney sease. there are places you'd like to be. like here and here and here. not so much here. if you've been

sudeikis joins jake tapper cnn primetime tonight at nine. and you are looking live at canadian prime minister justin trudeau, who is addressing canadian parliament we are waiting to hear from you see him there. president joe biden who is there in canada? of course, we will bring that to you live as soon as it happens, but again, momentarily we're expecting the president will address the parliament and then will take reporter's questions a little bit later in the day will be bringing both of those events to you live or keeping our eye on that. but first we're going to turn to california, where more than a half million students in the los angeles unified school district. are back in the classroom following three days of strikes. the union representing school support workers ended their standoff thursday, but the contract disputes still hasn't been resolved despite negotiations going on for nearly a year. now cnn's camilo bernal is in los angeles forest camilla. the strike is over. but again, there's no resolution. so what

happens next? hey boris jessica . well what happens next is that there will be conversations behind closed doors, and now we know that l a county or the l. a city mayor karen bass is also involved in these conversations . last we heard the union is still asking for 30% of an increase in salaries plus $2 an hour and the last offer we heard from the district is an increase of 23% plus a 3% bonus in cash. now, the question is, are they getting any close to an agreement. we do not know again. these conversations are taking place, but they're not doing it publicly. and as we mentioned this strike in particular, the one that took place this week was about workers, saying that they felt that they were being mistreated after they started asking for more money. so this strike that just happened was not necessarily about the salary . so when i talked to the union , what they told me was look as

these negotiations continue. if we do not come to an agreement, you could see a no other strike . of course, that's not something they necessarily want . and of course, a lot of the parents here do not want another strike. they were already suffering this week and are very thankful to have these children back in school. here are some of those moms. i'm really excited. they're back. struggled i struggled bad, but, um, you know, we got through. we pulled through so over being gone now we're back. now both sides say that this is going to be historic if and when they come to an agreement, the superintendent saying that this is going to be an example for many across the country when it comes to these contract negotiations and the union saying that this should be a wake up call for many others to invest in education because they say that once you invest in these workers, you are going to have better schools and better education. jessica boris right more to come. camilo bernal in los angeles for us, thanks so much for that update. and we're

paltrow is countersuing, claiming sanderson skied into her. let's bring in cnn's chloe loss. and chloe, this seems like a consequential day in this trial. well it is because this has been seven years in the making, and we are supposed to hear from gwyneth paltrow herself finally because we know that she denies skiing into terry sanderson, who claims that he had four broken ribs and brain injuries. his children, two of his daughters, one today , crying on the stand saying, you know how that her father was impacted cognitively and that he was never the same. gwyneth denies that this happened. he says that he skied into her and that she was downhill. no cameras of what happened that day. this is only based on eyewitness testimony, and we're going to hear from gwyneth, potentially from terry sanderson . they're on a lunch break right now and there. you see gwyneth from the other day, the camera is not on gwyneth paltrow anymore. she's asked for the camera to not be focused on her. so really, we only see the

lawyers. whoever is on the stand, so when we see gwyneth it's going to be a big moment. and this has become quite the trial that social media is paying attention to especially tiktok. and it's become one that is been full of memes as well. so a whole younger generation is closely following this civil trial. we will keep our eyes on it. please, chloe, keep us up to breast on what happens next? chloe melas. thank you so much. let's actually go to ottawa right now, where president biden is set to address the canadian parliament. good afternoon. moisture. canada good afternoon, canada. i must tell you.

i took four years of french in school. first time i attempted to make a speech in french i was laughed at so i was good as i can get right now. and seriously, thank you very, very much. speaker of the house of commons, speaker of the senate member of the parliament. thank you for the very kind welcome my wife and i prime minister trudeau. you were my first meeting with a foreign leader just one month after my presidency during the hardest days of covid 19. we had to make a visit virtual, but since then we've been all over the world talking to start taking on some of the toughest issues our nations have faced in a very long time. want to thank you for your partnership and for your personal friendship? i thank you very much. you and i are

grateful for the hospitality. you and sophie have shown us. ladies and gentlemen, i'm honored to have the opportunity to uphold the tradition carried out by so many of my predecessors addressing the hollowed halls of the canadian democracy, although this is a different hole. you've done a hell of a job. this is really beautiful, really, very beautiful. this is accustomed to speech to the closest of our relationship. americans and canadians are two people to countries in my view, sharing one heart. it's for personal connection. no two nations on earth are bound by such close ties, friendship, family, commerce and culture. our labor unions across borders, so do our sports leagues. baseball. basketball hockey hockey. i have

to say, except the leafs. tell you what. they beat the flyers back in january. that's why and if i didn't see that i married a philly girl. if i didn't say that i'd be sleeping alone, fellas. i like you, but not that much. yeah it can be easy to take a partnership between canada, the united states as a given. and but when you stop and think about it it's really a wonder 5552 mile long border. more than 8800 kilometers defined by peaceful commerce trading relationships that measure more than $2.5

billion a day. every day, hundreds of thousands of people across the borders and going in north and south. to work or just to visit knowing they'll find a warm welcome on the other side of the border. americans love canadians, and that's not hyperbole. it's a data driven fact. earlier this week, the gallup poll did a new poll showing american opinions on different countries in the world. this is a fact. canada ranked at the very top 88% favorable rating among americans. up from 87 the year before. i take credit for that one point. i suspect every politician in this this room would would do a hell of a lot to get those kind of numbers. but there's a reason for him the

same fundamental aspiration of reverberated across both our nations from the atlantic to the pacific. to live in freedom. not just freedom to live in freedom with dignity with dignity. to relentlessly pursue the possibilities of tomorrow. to leave. leave our children and our grandchildren future that's better because of our efforts, the people in this room and similar room and united states president kennedy said. and when he spoke here in 1961 and i quote, he said. ours is the unity of equal and independent nations. oh, tenants on the same continent. heirs of the same legacy. and fully sovereign associates in the same historic endeavor to preserve freedom for ourselves and for all who wish it for all who wishes more than a century. of that historic endeavor, canada, the united states have had each other's

backs in war and in peace. we have been the stronghold of liberty. safeguard. for the fundamental freedoms that give us our lives. literally. you give our lives meaning? we have gladly stepped into the responsibilities of global leadership because we understand all that is at risk for canadians and americans alike when freedom is under attack anywhere in the world. today our destinies are intertwined. and they're inseparable. not because of inevitability of geography. but because it's a choice, a choice we've made again and again. united states chooses to link our future with canada because we know that we'll find no better partner. that means to the bottom of my heart. no more reliable ally. no more steady friend. and today i say to you and to all the people of canada that you will always always be

able to count on the united states of america. together. together we have built a partnership that is a an incredible advantage to both our nations. that doesn't mean we never disagree. as any two countries will do from time to time. but when we disagree, we solve our differences in friendship and goodwill. because we both understand our interests are fundamentally aligned. as we stand at this inflection point in history. professor who once explained in question point as you're going down the highway at 60 miles an hour.
