there to where caitlin is, but we won't be able to watch bet on tv, meaning that hearing part we'll see how he gets back and forth. the judges decided that there will be no cameras, meaning like video cameras are live cameras in the courtroom during the proceedings, but still cameras will be in in the beginning. we'll explain all of this. we will also, trump is shaking up his legal team with a new edition right before this historic arrangement. katelyn polantz. can you tell us . this may be something that new addition to the legal team doesn't want to see. but i am told that trump is itching to speak about his indictment today. obviously he's not scheduled to do so right now here while he is here in manhattan, is not expected to speak until he returns tomorrow. i'll go tonight where we do know he's going to speak to a ballroom with hundreds of his supporters has surrogates, his allies who are expected to gather there tonight. but i'm hearing from people that trump really wants to talk about this today while he is here in new york, and if two weeks ago when he had initially claimed he was

going to be arrested, which, obviously we know did not happen at the time. there had been this idea of maybe having trump speak outside the courthouse after that arraignment happens in just a few hours from now. that idea was scuttled for security reasons. there were concerns about that and those considerations. but now i am told that trump is eager to speak. he hasn't done so since he arrived here in new york. we just saw him going in. behind closed doors at trump tower last night, so remains to be seen. because what we do know is that in hours trump is going to be here in this building behind me. that is where he is going to be a turning himself in here in manhattan, the first ex president in our nation's history to face criminal charges right now he is at trump tower is don was noting, preparing for this unprecedented arrangement, and we are expecting him to appear in court as a criminal defendant in the two p.m. hour today. after that, as we noted trump is going to return to florida give a primetime speech at mar-a-lago scheduled for 8:15 p.m. eastern tonight. overnight the judge ruled he will not allow tv cameras into the

courtroom during the proceedings . there was opposition from the trump legal team. but in his order, the judge did acknowledge that this arrangement has generated unparalleled public interest in media attention, saying the populist rightly hungers for the most accurate and current information available and to suggest otherwise would be disingenuous. cnn's senior crime and justice correspondent. shimon prokupecz is here at the courthouse. obviously the new york police department has been gearing up for this for days. now we've seen barricades put in place. there are lines of reporters snaking around the courthouse waiting to get in. what are you seeing from over there? your vantage point it's kind of surreal, caitlyn. i've covered many cases at this courthouse. other courthouses. i've covered some of the biggest trials here , and this is such a different atmosphere. um than what i've ever ever seen covering any cases here, you know, from harvey weinstein to the dsk dsk when he was arrested and

ultimately dismissed. there's just something very different here because you don't get this kind of a presence for a criminal defendant. that's about to end. the court. and be arraigned and when you look around, it's just surreal. let me just show our viewers, you know. yes you have all the security here, and we see more court officers now arriving. what's happening here is that a lot of this court staff, the court officers are now running security around the perimeter of this courthouse. with all the barriers here, the nypd is nypd s here as well. and then you've just got all these cameras. everyone here just waiting for donald trump to arrive. everyone just hoping to get that shot of him surrendering. we expect him to surrender here in just a few hours. and he's gonna be just up the street here. this is hogan place. this is where the district attorney's office is. he's going to walk through the doors. it's going to be brief, and he's going to go upstairs. and once he walks through those doors he will be under arrest.

he will be under arrest and taken into custody. and then the processing begins. but this is just such a surreal atmosphere atmosphere here right now, given the history of this event, and many of us here have covered cases here before, but nothing nothing like this before this kind of security. this kind of presence, this kind of media presence and it's early, caitlin , we're going to have several more hours before we see the former president here. and honestly, the security around here is just going to increase as the hours go by. yeah, that's such a good point. sherman it we're still several hours away from trump actually arriving and already you're seeing and being generated here, shimon. thank you. joining us now is david shown who is and it was an attorney for trump during his second impeachment trial. you often saw him there, david. good morning to you and thank you for being here. i want to ask you about trump, adding a new

defense attorney to his legal team specifically for this manhattan investigation just yesterday, one day. before his his arraignment. what do you make of him? adding ton blanche to the team. well that it's been in the works quite frankly, behind the scenes quite a while that blanche was going to come in. it comes from the firm cadwallader, and that firm quite frankly, would have a conflict. in this case. the firm nicholas gravante at that firm represented mr weisberg, who you may see as a witness in the case. but so blanche has left. the firm is now on his own. and that that, i suppose, was the development because of this being retained in this case, but there was no surprise within the team about that. tallow. what does it say to you about the significance of how they're viewing this arrangement of what's going forward from today ? well i'm sure they take it quite seriously. in fact, i know that they do is, you know it's very important for the team to be able to work together. now yesterday, i saw a concerning article in the new york law

journal, which there well, it was concerning because mr tacopina welcomed mr blanche to the team. the article said blanche would be the lead, but then take a pino. so i texted to the new york law journal that you can be sure that when the bell rings, he'll he, tacopina will be handling the major crosses and some nations and so on. it's just gonna be a process of learning to work together. if the team stays as it is, the former president has every right to change his team as he's going along. this is very early in the proceeding. this indictment came, you know, at a time when apparently it wasn't expected. and so it's going to have to evolve. i think. yeah, it was viewed internally by some as a sidelining of tacopina, who we've seen on television talking about this. but david, you think when it comes to this legal team that there are three motions they should file immediately. what are those? i think there are at least three motions. but i think after the arraignment, they should file a motion to dismiss based on the statute of limitations. it's a very

interesting issue too detailed, probably to go into here and then i think they should file a motion to dismiss and or disqualify, mr bragg. president id and should be unprecedented from an ethical standpoint to have run for office and campaign specifically targeting the conviction of a particular american citizen, donald trump one of the things that mr briggs said in his campaign was whoever has this job. are they going to convict donald trump convict him ? there was an investigation going at the time. no allegations against him. that's just dead wrong. it shows the conflict of interest, and i think that should be emotion. and finally, i think they should file a motion to recuse the judge. find out how this judge was assigned to the case. i don't believe in coincidences. this judge was on the trump organization case, the bannon case, and now this case, and there is an historic practice in this district attorney's office unique among all in the state for judge shopping through a process of picking a judge to supervise the grand jury. and then having that judge preside over the case handpicked judge they swore about eight years

ago. they had stopped the practice, but i think it needs to be investigated through motion for recusal. i didn't travel outside. are you trying to argue david that this judge can't be impartial here? i don't know that whether it can be impartial or not. i think it's the appearance of judge shopping that has to be explored. the american public has a great interest in every issue in this case, and everyone wants to make sure that there's a fair trial here. so that's what i think. i think the appearance of partiality or impartiality are important factors in the case. okay? i do think it's fair to say that trump's legal team has they've done. judge shopping is the phrase that you used, especially when it came to the documents investigation. we saw what happened there in florida. you can't say that. that's something that, um, that trump's own legal team has not weighed where they're going, and which judge they'd be appearing before, right. it might be there. in any case, that party picks a forum but in this case with all of the judges in this court, it's remarkable. the

judge merchant sits on this case and those other cases they're not related cases and therefore i think it has to be explored, they federal judge said about eight years ago that if this is practices continuing, it may give rise to a federal violation . this practice was challenged in state court, and the lawyers lost to challenged it. but when it went to federal court, a federal judge suggested this may be a constitutional problem. it just has to be investigated. i'll just note trump's own attorney. temporal literally told me on friday that they do believe this judge is starting, but they do believe he will be fair here. david shown. thank you so much. i do want to note that the district attorney that david was just talking about there. alvin bragg is arriving here at the courthouse in new york, of course, one of the most notable days of his time as the district attorney here in manhattan. and as shimon has been reporting here on cnn, there has been an increased security presence around the district attorney himself. obviously, he has been the target. attacks from trump. and his allies and his advisers who

have been saying that they believe this is a political prosecution that is underway. bragg has pushed back on that. and of course, he has made this decision, though, and there are major questions about it. certainly don a notable day for alvin bragg, it he is arriving here at the courthouse in lower manhattan, especially donald trump, saying overnight that brexit indict himself. caitlin is he was saying as shown was mentioning. you know, he said, recuse the judge to recuse. i wrote that down question mark. perfect perfect. follow up to him. um they're pointing out saying that wait, what are you saying? he's saying that shouldn't be impartial. that was well, yeah, surprising point about judge shopping or forum shopping is that that's been done a number of times by the trump administration and the trump team was a great interview. caitlin caitlin, we're gonna check back as well to talk about another case involving former president donald trump new signs that this morning that the justice department may be nearing the end of its investigation of trump's handling of classified

documents at mar-a-lago special counsel prosecutors securing more evidence for the grand jury, it could show trump's intent. to keep classified records after he left the white house and that he knew he still had records after the doj demanded the return that he returned them last may want to check in now. cnn's katelyn polantz joins us. good morning. good morning, caitlin what is included in the evidence. yeah well, there's a lot that has been subpoenaed recently by the justice department, the special counsel operating out of washington. their work does not stop and it is not stopping just because of this new york case against donald trump. they are now gathering and nailing down things like notes, texts, emails , photographs, documents from donald trump's assistant, molly michael, about what he was doing who he was meeting with across a really crucial amount of time in mar-a-lago when he was is there as they're looking into the possible mishandling of classified documents and also the potential that donald trump

was trying to obstruct the justice department from getting all of those documents back and the other thing. the reason why this story you know, we keep hearing about subpoenas in this mar-a-lago investigation over and over again for the course of this investigation, but the reason why this is different now is that it's quite clear that the prosecutors are nailing down details that they may already know and how have, including. not only are they asking for documents being to be turned over their subpoenaing people into the grand jury that they spoke with before that the fbi interviewed a year ago. now they're locking in that testimony into the grand jury. in what signals what could be something leading up to a potential set of charges or maybe a decision at the justice department whether to bring charges in this case, one of the things that was striking to me about your reporting is that you guys noted that this often can hand signal. the conclusion of an investigation, but the crux here, right that they would need

this evidence to point to is intent right to succeed on an obstruction charge, they would need it all 2.2 intent to hinder or block an investigation. right absolutely. and one of the things too. and don, that is so interesting about this is that we're learning from our sources about these subpoenas where they're nailing down evidence from witnesses. but we also know what the justice department has been doing to secure evidence from donald trump's defense attorney, evan corker and himself and that from what we understand, maybe separate from this pursuit where they're securing the evidence from these other witnesses, evan corker, and we know that the justice department believes was being you. used by donald trump. to potentially commit a crime and they got him to turn over records. they got him back in before the grand jury to testify and one of the things i am also hearing from sources is that the grand jury activity doesn't stop with having corcoran and with these recent subpoenas, there's

going to be a study clip of people either coming in or turning things over in the coming weeks. and the thing that puts this all together is that this is all about donald trump. this is about what he did what he saw what he knew and what he decides. guided to do with those documents wants to justice department said. you need to turn them back over nine. poppy, not just about lawyers moving boxes are going through boxes. what did the former president do after a subpoena? exactly? thanks caitlin. caitlin thank you so much. nasa astronauts set to head to the moon. we are humans we are built to explore when you go out and do something that pushes the boundaries. you always learn things that you didn't expect to learn. and we will have breakthroughs left and right. it's gonna be phenomenal to the moon. that's a reference to the honeymooners and do this before that right astronaut reid wiseman lance on cnn this morning. there he is. on the other side of the break of that.

that hour and he said, yeah, sure. go ahead and video chat in so i got on microsoft teams. and called in and i knew as soon as the video came up, and i saw not only my boss but my boss's boss and then sitting next to them was was kristina cooke, victor glover, and i was like, oh, my gosh, i think i just missed my assignment for the optimist, two crew and it was not. it was not the best showing from the crew. but what? okay they were saying, oh, this guy's not interested. he's not a team player. but you're like, hey, i had to go to the doctor. listen this is historic because you're going to be traveling with the first canadian. the first woman the first person of color ever to travel. around the moon. that is quite an accomplishment, and it speaks to, you know the ingenuity of what you guys do in america. i have to say. i couldn't agree more. i just need to highlight right now we have an awesome, diverse crew of astronauts. we have an international crew of astronauts here at the johnson space center in houston. you could grab any four of us right now and go do this mission and when you look

at people like christina, victor and jeremy, all i ask is that people just go look at their accomplishments and their lives because they far surpassed anything i've ever dreamed of doing. these are professional operators. they're extremely experienced, and we are. we're all great friends and we are ready to go accomplish this mission once one tiny piece in the entire artemis architecture, it's going to be really fun. just i mean, a personal note. what does this mean to you and your family and the families? um, of your crewmates. i think the word that first came into my mind when you ask that question was just pride were all hard workers. we really want to go out there and do something great for humanity in a time of a lot of division in our country and our world, human spaceflight is one unifying piece. we would love to just motivate our youth right now, not by words, but by action and go out around the moon set the stage for humans walking on the moon again. and then looking onward to mars. i

think when you go out and set your sights big, you motivate a lot of people that you didn't expect to you get a lot of new inventions. you get a lot of growth in industry. we're seeing it all around houston right now. with private space. it's the business is booming. so that's really what i feel. i feel pride k and you should, uh, the goal is to go to mars within 20 years. you're a young man. do you want to go? i would definitely go. but i really do think that that is going to go to that generation of kids that are in middle school junior high school right now. i think they're going to be at the front lines. i think what my generation with our generation this generation is going to be focused on is getting off of planet earth, learning how to live and work sustainably on the lunar surface in deep space and then onward tomorrow as we go congratulations, commander. this is really amazing. you should be proud. thank you. thank you for appearing. we certainly appreciate it. thank you. it's great to talk to you. thank you. you as well? you know, papi, i am from we are from you know the

shuttle generation? yeah, right where we were just talking. it's hard to believe that it has been, you know, 50 years since we have gone to the moon. it just kind of assumed, like, oh, we've been there, but i was doing the last show that i did the night show and my producer said, you know, we haven't been to the moon since the seventies. and i said what? really? right right. first of all, i love that interview, and i love the doctor's appointment. but i also love the fact that he said, you know, we're sort of paving the way. he's listening by the way, smiling. good loved him. his kids are kids generation right to be the next one to carry it on to take this mission to take this mission all the way to mars , so we're really proud of what they're going to do for our kids. generation ahead. we gotta run. but look at that big smile. reid weisman. wiseman everyone. thank you read. congratulations you guys be safe. have a great time. thank you. great talking to you, too. thanks freed, alright. also the other big news here on planet earth today, donald trump becomes the first u. s president to be arraigned on criminal charges. we have new

lose fat get lean, absolutely free, rugged 321321. i'm ben wedeman in eastern ukraine. cnn. just a few hours from now for president trump is going to become the first us president to ever be arraigned on criminal charges that will happen here in new york as we are getting new reporting about trump's mindset and whether or not we are going to hear from trump while he is here. cnn's kara scannell joins me back here in this morning as we were outside 100 center street, where trump will actually be booked and arraigned and a few hours from now. i had heard that trump wanted to speak. he came and itching to make his case publicly about this indictment. we always opposed to speak tonight, but now you're hearing that he is actually going to be speaking or is expected to do so inside that courthouse today. yeah, i mean, i talked to one of his attorneys, chris kaeser said he met with the former president as part of his legal team last night. they're planning to meet again this morning. but he said

the former president is expected. to talk to the cameras when he's heading through that hallway in that brief walk into the courtroom before his arraignment, and he's also expected to see something after he said he doesn't know what he's going to say. but i think we've heard a lot of the president saying that this is a political prosecution. he's called it a witch hunt, so it might be something along that vein. he also said that he expects donald trump to enter his own plea of not guilty. he doesn't think it will go through an attorney, um you know, of course, everything can change in the moment. but that is the thinking heading into this today . there is another meeting with the legal team this morning, but that's kind of where their heads at that's really notable. trump himself is going to be the one when the judge asks, how do you plead? he'll say not guilty. i mean, that's at least the plan. as of now, that's what he says trump wants to do. i mean, we'll see how things play out. their lawyers could. i mean, that's a fairly basic thing for a defendant to do that, as far as what he says outside. we'll see what you know. there's a lot of time between now and then of

what his lawyers may advise him. but he's intending to, or at least he wants to and just for those at home keeping track of the trump attorney organization chart. chris guys is one of trump's attorneys. but he talked to you about this new attorney, todd blanche, that was just added to the legal team for this probe specifically yesterday. what does it mean for joe tacopina, the other attorney that we've seen publicly talking about this case? there was a lot of questions from your interview with tim harlot or the other attorney about whether tacopina has a conflict. it's of interest here and i asked has tacopina been sidelined, he said. he said. joe is a great lawyer. he's got a trial coming up in two weeks, and it needs to focus on that. and he is representing former president trump in this battery and defamation trial, brought by the former magazine columnist eugene carroll has been winding through the courts for years and is now actually coming to a head. that will be a civil trial just down the street in about two weeks time. so he says that that is really the focus of tacopina. he was brought in to represent trump in that case. just in the past

several months. so that is now also coming to a head. you kind of have both of these major cases colliding and i think it speaks also to the level of conflict and infighting inside the legal team in and of itself. chris canal fascinating reporting really good reporting. thank you for that, poppy, obviously notable to know that trump himself is expected to be the one to utter those words not guilty as he is in court today. based on what care is hearing from resources that will be remarkable. we won't see it right because there won't be video cameras inside the courthouse. but what get some still photos, perhaps of that moment, really notable, so let's bring in someone who has talked a lot to trump. tony schwartz, co author of trump's art of the deal with the ghostwriter on this book. we all know where you stand on the former president since then regret working with him and for him on this. can you just respond to that reporting from our keras canal that not only will the former president speak today in that hallway heading into the court? but it is expected that he may be the one to actually plead not guilty to the judge, not his lawyers.

well, my fantasy is that he has a freudian slip and goes guilty as hell. we won't. but what? what do you make of that? as someone who spent so much time with him? well i make of it that he has a desperate, relentless need for attention, and he wants to control a situation in which is feeling somewhat out of control. and so it's no surprise that he wants to stand up and i think he'll be a predictably unhinged in his remarks. there'll be way over the top. one of the things that are striking to me when we booked you for the program. i thought he hasn't really been on recently. i mean, i remember having you on a lot when the president was running for the first time for office. why? why do you want to talk now? look this is a historic day. uh and not only for all the reasons that have been said, but because i think that, um, this is not

indian of itself the end of this story, no matter what happens, there are a series of additional potential indictments, of which three we know three more yet possibly to come. and i'm sure no, of course i'm not sure, but my more indictments will come, but but my sister additional probes potential indictments. i said, yeah, there are. i think that one of them or more is very likely to happen. and i so i think this is a real shift in the momentum. trump has spent his life running from this. he's a career criminal. he's he's almost surely. committed countless crimes. so this is a this is a big day. you call him a career criminal. he himself hasn't been found personally guilty or trump world. that's another thing. but let's move on because you look again as somebody spent so much time writing this book, the art of the deal with the former president. he's going to address the country the world tonight

from mar-a-lago. what would you expect him to say? i think almost certainly he will say this is you know about political . this is all political that he didn't even have an affair with stormy daniels. he won't say that. but that has been his. that has been his argument all along. i think he will just look for every possible way to smear whoever he can. who he thinks is coming at him. that's what he does ask you quick. are you surprised at all that he is not only attacking the judge that he will be before today? okay but also overnight he posted on his social network. that d a brag should indict himself. i mean, he is, as i said, unhinged and he has gone to such extremes that no poppy, i am not the slightest bit surprised by anything he's willing to say apiece, somehow thinks it makes him more likely to be. not not so much to be left to be found innocent but to prevail in the

public sphere or at least this fear of his followers if he feels he can push his own case, he'll say anything. uh he is. deeply sociopathic. he doesn't have a conscience. i mean, literally. there is no conscience, so there is no right and wrong. so when he comes onto the playing field in a football game, he is playing without rules, while the other team is required to play with rules, rules apply in the court of law, where he'll be today, again, making making history as the first president to face criminal charges. appreciate your perspective. thank you very much, tony dunne. all right. thank you, poppy. let's get started with the five things you need to know. on this. tuesday in 2023, we are just hours away from a huge moment in american history. donald trump is set to appear in court and become the first u. s president past or present to face criminal charges. more than 70 million

starting at $20 consumer cellular. all right. welcome back. history is about to unfold at the building. you're looking at their manhattan criminal court, that is the building where trump will set is set to turn himself into and become the first ex president in the united states to ever face criminal charges. we are learning new details about what today is going to look like and while initially he was not going to speak until he returned to florida tonight, we are now told by a trump attorney that trump is expected to speak in the hallway outside of the courtroom before or and after his arraignment, he is also expected to enter his own plea of not guilty. that is, according to chris skies, but he told our cnn's kara scannell for now, i want to bring in cnn senior political correspondent and the anchor of inside politics sunday . abby phillip abby. obviously you covered trump right alongside me at the white house. you know him very well in the

fact that he wants to be the one to enter. that not guilty plea isn't totally surprising. but what do you think is legal team is making in the fact that he wants to also speak before he even goes into that room, and it appears before that judge. well i think honestly, caitlyn, his legal team, probably they understand their client. they have given up on that. at this point. i think they know that trump wants to speak. they know that they probably can't do anything about it. even if they told him not to. he might still do it. this is actually really reminiscent to me of, you know, it's a completely different situation. but when trump was in the hospital for covid, and he made an entire entire spectacle of that situation, basically turning into a campaign ad had the 2020 election and i think that this is how he sees this moment. it's an opportunity for him to be defiant and his attorneys they know their client as well as we do. they know there's probably nothing that they can do to stop him from doing that today and trying to really rally his supporters

around this indictment, which he sees as evidence of him being politically targeted. abby can we talk about this? it's just the oddity of it the contradiction of it because he wants to speak right before and after in the hallway, but yet his team doesn't want cameras in the courtroom, and they don't want a mug shot. so then, from the reality show person who loves the camera, so what gives here yeah, and they argued in court yesterday that it would cameras in the courtroom would create a circus like atmosphere . i mean, i think that there's always this dichotomy. there is what is good for trump from a legal perspective, and then there's what's good for trump. from a political perspective. i think that the attorneys are trying to control what they can control inside of the courtroom . what happens outside of the courtroom is less under their purview, and that's going to be how this is going to play out. you're going to have attorneys saying on the one hand that they they that they have confidence in the legal process. they have confidence in the judge and then

trump going on his social media platform and attacking that very same judge. that dichotomy is going to play out. the question is will what trump does outside of the courtroom start to affect what happens inside, and i do think that there is a concern here that the judge might be deliberating on which is, is trump going to try to taint his own case, and that's what i think you'll see the judge potentially stepping in here. that's fascinating and size. evans who preceded alvin bragg in that position as district attorney warned over the weekend. um, about what trump says. and these things that are said outside of court and how that could affect actually brags. case abby potentially negatively for the former president. yeah i mean, look, i think that this is already going to be an uphill climb. you're in new york city. this is the year 2023. people are there is no one on this planet unfamiliar with donald trump. it's going to be really challenging to find an impartial jury in this jurisdiction. but that's going

to be the task here and they're going to have to find a way to prevent the defendant in this case from making that job even more difficult. ah, you know, talking to lawyers over the weekend, they were talking about whether there would be a gag in this case. i think that's definitely something that could very well be on the table. and caitlin. we look at we're looking at pictures of the courthouse center 100 center street where you are also trump tower. we saw what happened yesterday. the spectacle with the airplane would have you the attention. this president loves the attention, and as you have been reporting now, he wants to speak in the hallway before and after. so we're going to see what kind of spectacle it will be. i know all eyes will be on it and you guys will be down there covering or you will be down there covering it. yeah i am actually planning to go inside. there is going to that camera in the hallway where trump's expected to speak. we had actually planned to go in just to be able to at least watch him going into the room. i will be in there. but also what's important to note is that new attorney that they just added yesterday to the defense

team, todd blanche is also going to be appearing in the courtroom today. that's notable because the other thing that cara's gonna learned earlier from chris guys is that they do expect joe tech opinion to instead start shifting his focus to another case. he had initially believed he was going to be the lead defense attorney in that room today. it doesn't appear that is going to be the case. we'll see how it plays out, though, donna papi, fascinating going inside. well do some good reporting, as you always do. and we'll see you later tonight. i'm sure today on the air and then tomorrow morning coverage of the trump arraignment continues with cnn news central right after this great day. think about the best night's sleep you've ever had a temper pedic were dedicated t to helping you sleep like t that every night. so you get the deep , comfortable, undisturbed breast you deserve for a limited time. save $300 on select tper pedic mattresses. they said. you can't create an app without coding. we said whyot? today created apps using abby pies, no
