6:01 am
surround this historic moment as trump and the nation soon learned the charges, he will face words that russia hoped to never see. finland joins nato. this just happened moments ago. why this move reshapes europe include influence putin's invasion of ukraine plus plotted for months chilling you detailed in that mass shooting at a christian elementary school in nashville. these major stories and more all coming in right here to cnn news, central. you are looking at live pictures outside trump tower right now, as we are hours away from the arrest and arraignment of former president donald trump a first in america's history, and we have new details on exactly how today's events will unfold. cnn has just learned that the former president may speak to cameras in the hallway outside the
6:02 am
courtroom before or after his arraignment. that's according to his attorneys. the judge overseeing this case is not allowing cameras to broadcast the official proceedings, but still photographers will be allowed into the courtroom before the hearing begins. we also expect to learn for the first time why prosecutors believe donald trump is a criminal when the indictment is unsealed, the criminal charges facing trump will finally be known. something else new today , donald trump has hired a new lead, lead counsel, criminal defense attorney, todd blanche, will will take the lead for trump's team in today's proceeding. cnn has reporters and correspondents covering every angle of this moment. let's begin this hour outside the courthouse with cnn's caress canal era. we just learned from trump's team that he plans to speak potentially at some point this afternoon. what else are you learning about this? other side. yeah, that's right. i mean, the former president has been debating whether or not he should say something before after the arraignment, and we're
6:03 am
hearing that he made speak when he's passing through the court, the courthouse hallway and entering into the courtroom just before he is arraigned, and it's possible he will speak afterwards. of course, everything is very much in flux. there's a lot of security concerns. there are things that could change on the fly is also expected that the former president when he is being arraigned, is going to enter his not guilty plea himself. also that same caveat. things can change because this is all a bit of a fluctuating situation. you can really see the security presence picking up around me. the media presence has grown and they will only get tighter once we get closer to the two pm arraignment. um, we are. you know, trump is going to be showing up today with a new criminal defense lawyer, he added. todd blanche of veteran of the criminal defense bar and a former federal prosecutor to his legal team yesterday. we expect him to be in court today and to be by donald trump's side now todd blanche is someone who has represented people in trump's circle before he's represented. paul manafort,
6:04 am
trump's former campaign adviser , in a case against the manhattan district attorney's office, someone who is familiar to trump's orbit in in that sense. um, and of course, trump also is represented by susan necklace. she's a veteran criminal defense lawyer in new york, who practices a lot in this courthouse, and she represented the trump organization entities when they went on trial this past fall for the tax fraud charges. those entities were convicted. but you know, we're expecting this to really pick up around here as we get closer to the former president's arrival is expected to depart trump tower this afternoon and then come here to begin this historic moment. kate and karen as i mentioned the judges decided against any live broadcast of the court proceedings. what was his reasoning? um there as well. perhaps the judge issued this order late last night, saying that you know, one of the issues he had to do here was really balanced the public interest with the rights of the defendant trump's team had opposed using any live broadcast of the
6:05 am
proceedings because they said that it would could potentially prejudice him in front of potential jury down the road. but the judge saying here that while he recognized that this was a momentous occasion that it was something that he said was unparalleled, he did think that he needed to side there with former president in balancing those interests, kate john kerry's at the outside the courthouse and you have much more detail on how trump is going to be getting there today. it is going to be quite a process katelyn polantz. there in a couple of hours. drive to the courthouse is about four miles, which in normal new york city traffic would take 20 to 50 minutes or, like 100 hours if you know new york city traffic, but with his secret service detail he should not have to deal with that all trials and most court activity will be halted even before trump gets there because of security concerns. now when trump does arrive to the da's office, he will technically be under arrest
6:06 am
. he'll be booked, he'll be fingerprinted. it's not clear if a mug shot will be taken because authorities are concerned it will be improperly leaked. the arraignment is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. eastern time now, as we said trump's lawyer claims trump will speak before and after the arraignment. it isn't clear exactly when or even if that will actually happen, but maybe here then the arraignment during the arraignment, the indictment will be unsealed. this is the moment when the public might first learned the details of the charges. his lawyers have said trump plans to enter a not guilty plea after the hearing. maybe trump speaks . maybe not. then he's expected to head straight to the airport back to mar-a-lago where he is, we know planning to speak at 8:15 p.m. eastern time. alright. our shimon prototypes is outside the court right now and simone. i just went through the rough schedule, but you have some more details about what goes on inside. yeah i mean, look, this is surreal, right? we've never experienced anything like this
6:07 am
before. i've covered many cases here. high profile trials. nothing like this ever before the idea that the secret service is involved in all of this security, they will be the ones bringing donald trump here. they will be the ones greeting him at the door when he arrives, taking him inside. the district attorney's office. one hogan place. it's a famous place where many celebrities have come through high profile defended to have surrendered, but certainly nothing like this before. when you have, literally you have secret service agents that are standing in the middle of the street behind me, waiting for him to arrive. they will greet him. they will take him inside, where he will be met almost immediately. by the staff from the district attorney's office. the investigators, there is a investigator who is going to actually be the arresting officer with the assistant district attorney. they will go upstairs to the seventh floor where the processing will begin
6:08 am
. that is where he will be fingerprinted. that is where his attorneys will actually learn the charges. the indictment paperwork that paperwork will be handed to them so they will know what he is charged with before he even walks into court and then a short time after that the former president will be taken to the 15th floor. where the arraignment will be all of this done under very off immense, immense security and you could just see that all around us. i just wanted john briefly show you what's going on behind me here with all this security, the secret service agency nypd all up this street because this is where everything will first. begin this is where the former president will arrive. and then i also want to show you just the cameras here. all of these cameras here waiting to get that shot of the former president arriving so things obviously are going to intensify here. security will increase more people will be coming out here and right now, everyone is just
6:09 am
trying to keep everything safe and prepare for the next few hours. john like nothing we have ever seen in shimon. i think you're accurately point out the details of this indictment. we don't even know what's inside. we should know in the next few hours. great work down there, shimon. thank you very much, sarah. keep the peace and behave on this historic day. new york city mayor eric adams, issuing a direct warning to protesters. right now. security in the city , as you just heard from shimon is on high alert after trump called on his supporters to protest his arrest. cnn's jeff zeleny is live outside trump tower as security swells around lower manhattan. jeff mere, adams was very pointed and specifically called out, congresswoman. um uh, marjorie taylor green, who is also a conspiracy theorist. um she basically has said she was going to take to the script to the street and the mayor said look if you're coming here. you better behave but that the
6:10 am
security apparatus is ready for whatever happens. what are you seeing out there? well, sarah, we can say here at trump tower, it is business as usual in manhattan. people are going to work. tourists are walking by trump tower that you can see behind me here, but really the only spectacle that's been created so far is indeed a media spectacle, dozens and dozens of cameras from all across the world here, but importantly inside trump tower is what the former president is doing. i'm told he's huddling with his advisers. he met with his lawyers last evening. and of course, there is one thing above all that he wants to learn. what exactly are the criminal charges against him? what will he be facing here? for all the bravado for all the talk about how many millions of dollars the trump campaign has raised, they say it's been $8 million. since that indictment was handed up last week. there is a level of seriousness inside the president's orbit that was underscored by hiring a new criminal defense lawyer yesterday. who will be at the former president's aside today,
6:11 am
so there's a bit of a split screen in terms of spectacle. and circus, but it is being taken very seriously. so we should also point out this is simply the beginning of a legal road for the former president, of course, is facing perhaps the closing weeks of an investigation in georgia, where he is accused of potentially trying to meddle with top state officials to over turn the election returns. he is facing two federal investigations in washington as well. so this is simply one of those potential investigations and legal challenges he's facing. but sarah, one thing is clear. he is the front running republican nominee in 2024, but this will now all be completely linked to the political campaign. you cannot separate the legal from the political. so that is what is hanging over. not only mr trump but also the republican party and indeed the country. sarah. for now, he is using all this to fundraise. thank you so much. jeff zeleny. let us go ahead and go to katelyn polantz

will host a bipartisan meeting at the ronald reagan presidential library. beijing has warned against the meeting, calling it a provocation and saying it will quote resolutely fight back. kate and 52 rounds fired in an attack, police say had been plotted for months. these are some of the new details just coming out about the mass shooting at an elementary school in nashville. six people were killed, including 39 year old children. while the investigation continues, people will be gathering very soon to say their final goodbyes. to one of the adult victims 61 year old mike hill. he was a beloved custodian at the school. cnn's isabel wallaces live in nashville with much more on this is about what more are you hearing from investigators now? okay we have fairly significant updates from investigators who have found that the shooter audrey hale quote, acted totally alone. keep piece of evidence here that has helped investigators pieces. pieces together are the writings
6:18 am
that hail left behind and were recovered from the school parking lot and also from the shooter's bedroom. what they found through assessing these writings, which they're still not done with that with that review process. they have found that this was not a spur of the moment attack the swiss calculated. investigators are saying that hail planned this attack for months and even took notes from other mass mass shooters as well. i spoke with dr brianna fox, she teaches criminology at the university of south florida. she was also a former fbi special agent who has dedicated her life. to understanding how criminals think, and she says she's not surprised to hear that hail planned this that this, in fact does track with the usual behavior. a mass shooters listen. they're planning it. they're actually regaining some of the control. they feel like they've lost their gaining power over the situation, so when they're planning it, it's actually making them feel gratified. so they tend to plan it out for longer than people
6:19 am
think, sometimes weeks or months. and kate more than a week. since that shooting, investigators still have not found a motive behind this attack. okay isabel. the shooting has sparked renewed protests and calls for gun reforms at the nashville statehouse. there's now an effort to expel some democratic members who took part in those rallies. what's going on there? kate it's a it's a messy situation, essentially tennessee house republicans they're saying about their democratic representative colleagues gloria johnson, justin jones and justin pearson that they broke chamber rules on thursday by going out of turn with a bullhorn approaching the podium without being called upon. while they were protesting and demanding gun reform. so now they're facing pretty serious consequences here, including potentially being expelled from the house, and they have also been stripped from their committees. this is, according
6:20 am
to cnn affiliate wsmv, citing the speaker of the house of representatives here in tennessee, cameron saxon, so republicans, they have likened what happened on thursday with these lawmakers. to an insurrection, 16, saying their actions are and will always be unacceptable. kate isabelle. thank you so much. sarah. one time chief of staff to former maryland governor larry hogan has died after a nationwide manhunt for him. roy mcgrath was killed in a confrontation with the fbi. mcgrath was facing charges related to his scheme to steal more than $276,000 from the state of maryland and arrest warrant was issued last month after he failed to appear for his trial in baltimore. the manhunt ended when the fbi tracked him down to knoxville, tennessee, our cnn's ryan young is joining us now. ryan, how did this confrontation go down? yes, there are so many questions still about this one. when you
6:21 am
think about it, someone not showing up for court and then maybe being on the run for almost three weeks and still trying to find out details about how the fbi tracked him down to knoxville. now we're going to show you some of this video from that scene, you can see a white escalated sort of the center of this picture. and, of course, the fbi investigators and police their own scene are focusing on that truck because apparently that's where the shooting happened. the fbi did indicate the agent was involved in some sort of shooting incident. but what's new? not clear right now is who did the shooting? was this a sort of suicide by cop or did he fire toward officers and then was shot? those details are not known right now, but we do know he was indicted for trying to take $276,000 from the people of maryland, and this happened when he was in charge of the environmental protection agency there in maryland. before moving over to be a part of larry hogan staff. so this all happened very quickly. and of course, there's so many questions about this. we do know that he was worked for hogan in 2020. he was indicted
6:22 am
on fraud charges in october. 2021 then of course, there was that failure to the pier. so there's so many questions about how you went from that sort of failure to appear to three weeks on the run and then being surrounded by fbi agents before shots were being fired. there's something that will continue to dig into sarah to try to figure out exactly what happened next. still like i said again, so many questions about how we ended up in that parking lot last night with this one time aid. being shot and killed. is there any more details of the fbi is sharing about not just how this went down, but how they went after him. you said they haven't really told anyone. all the tricks of the trade, of course. absolutely we do know there was that failure to appear. and of course, when you deal with federal agencies, we're not even sure body camera was involved in this and you know they'll do an extensive review, but i'm sure maybe hey, they might have been tracking credit card receipts to find them in that location, something that will have to make further phone calls on to figure out ryan young. thank you. for all those details, john. former

6:28 am
face this tv cameras won't be allowed inside the court. but according to his attorneys, trump may speak before or after his arraignment. we will see and we also still don't know exactly what charges donald trump is facing. but the manhattan d a. has been investigating trump's alleged role in a hush money. payment scheme. adult film star stormy daniels the mystery around those charges. well, they will soon be over as the indictment will be made public, john indeed, the mystery will soon be over. and of course, we've been talking all about the security concerns here in new york city, with the police preparing for possible protests , adding all kinds of increased police presence with me now cnn chief law enforcement intelligence analyst john miller and former federal prosecutor and senior legal analyst ellie honey mr miller, you are more plugged in to new york city law enforcement that just about any human being on earth. we've been talking about guilty right guilty as charged in talking about the security concerns. so
6:29 am
what are we seeing? i mean, are there people out on the streets now? are there specific threats over the next few hours? so as far as the big protest the january 6th, you know, risk. none of that materialist, which was anticipated that it wouldn't materialize because what you didn't see was either the organization operating behind it to put it together. you saw a lot of one offs on social media or a call from donald trump to be at a certain place at a certain date at a certain time. that has not happened, even though he's called for protests, so the protest pieces in the background now there are some people down there with signs that will be managed by the nypd. the threat picture is more based on what's going on in the unseen background. you've got multiple threats against the judge against the district attorney against the courthouse . we had several bomb scares last week. so what they're looking at is assessing those threats so far, nothing credible . nothing specific. but where is that lone actor? remember before january 6th we saw, you know pipe bombs in two locations and
6:30 am
other things so they've got the package down there and they're scanning and that's what they do. we're talking about threats to judges and lawyers and whatnot. ellie, i was just handed this piece of paper that the manhattan d a meet our team page on the web page and say, look at all of our lawyers. they took that down several days ago . one would think because of potential threats against these attorneys. what do you think that's like to be working in there? right now? it's got to be genuinely terrifying, right? i mean, john and i have both been involved in prosecuting really dangerous people, powerful people, violent criminals, people accused of murder mass attack. in a way that this is different because of the size and intensity of the following that this particular individual has and john's right. the fear is really not so much with the mass gathering. i can give you my first hand testimony. i was at trump tower yesterday, maybe two or three dozen protesters mild. what? what protest should be just cheering inside this morning? i was there as of an hour and a half ago. nothing but the fear is always as john said that lone wolf remember very shortly after the fbi search
6:31 am
mar-a-lago in august, a person stormed an fbi headquarters and was shot and killed. that's what you're afraid of, counselor. we've been talking about this indictment or should be unsealed. we will actually find out a ton. more information. we think that we have known to this point. what are you looking forward? that might make the case stronger than we thought, or perhaps weaker than we thought. first of all, how much information do they going to give us in this indictment? prosecutors right indictments and you have completely way over . how much or how little you put in there. many indictments have nothing more than the language that's in the statute. books just fill in the person's name and the dates and that's that other indictments. what we call speaking indictments tell the full story. so how much detail are they going to give us and then the second thing? what are the charges? we've all been expecting charges relating to the business records relating to the stormy daniels hush money payments if that's it. i'd be a little nervous for the d a. i'd be nervous going just on that. so will we see something that catches us by surprise some other financial angle, some other unexpected charge. so
6:32 am
finally, mr miller, we've been reporting, cnn reported that trump's lawyer is claiming that trump is going to speak before and after the arraignment. is that up to him? because once he walks in that door, he's under arrest so technically, he's in custody. but he's going to walk down that hallway. he'll be with his secret service detail. he will not be handcuffed like the last two trump associates, who were brought through that hallway in cuffs by the same district attorney's office. but i think what we're talking about is maybe three things. maybe a one or two word or one sentence . other ends towards the cameras that are that pool camera that is set up in the hallway that will get him on the record number two. what happens in court? does he say? not guilty. does his lawyer say not guilty? or does he put a flourish on it? and this is things this? these are things that defendants actually practice in the mirror . um, and are careful decisions like 1000% not guilty.
6:33 am
absolutely not guilty. that's the second piece and then the third piece is just the reverse, which is on the way out. does he pass by those cameras? now he's not in custody. released on his own recognizance and say, maybe more than a sentence. we will be watching very closely. john miller. thank you. ellie, honey , thank you, as always, sarah something else. people are watching this morning 70 million people from the great lakes to texas are under threat of severe weather. the storms could bring damaging winds and giant hail. the big concern is the possibility of long track tornadoes that could hit parts of missouri and further south into texas in the danger zone again, areas already devastated by deadly tornadoes over the weekend. cnn's derek van dam is in little rock, arkansas for us, derek people are still trying to recover. we can see all the damage behind you, but they might have to face this again. yeah, there's almost a real
6:34 am
thing called severe weather fatigue where people are just getting continuous back to back severe weather events. the damage that you are seeing behind me is from exact wording that you talked about strong long track tornadoes. the tornado that caused this damage was on the ground for get this almost 32 miles. now it's the exact wording that the national weather service is using to talk about the threats that we have here. in little rock and the general surrounding areas and also to the north as well highlighting that in just a moment, but look at this extensive damage. we have had utility crews trying their best to cut back the trees pushed back some of the worst impacted buildings, but i wanted to see what 165 mile per hour winds are capable of toppling trees onto homes. of course, you can imagine just how dangerous that is. you see my graphics and we talk about the threats today, there are two distinct areas that i am concerned about the midwest. davenport's into the eastern sections of iowa that
6:35 am
has a moderate risk and then to the south. that is where we're we're currently located. that is an overnight threats. so the potential for nocturnal tornadoes exist here. that means the potential to catch you off guard as you sleep, have multiple ways to receive your weather alerts and you can already see there's so much left in the atmosphere that storms are already firing in davenport's. there is the greatest risk for our tornadoes . today it is going to be a long 24 hours and we talk about severe weather fatigue. it's real here. people are tired, and they're also scared, sarah. derek van dam. every time you give a report, i learned something new. long track tornadoes can last hours, not just minutes like we're used to when we see a tornado. thank you so much live there from little rock, arkansas, john finland is officially the 31st member of nato something russia has long feared. we have new reaction from the kremlin. we can't calculate our total taxes. do you realize how many didifferent

6:40 am
teams in each conference play for the final two playoff spots . the nba playing tournament begins april 11th on tnt. it is an historic day for nato and a major setback for vladimir putin. as of this morning, finland has officially become the 31st member of the nato alliance going to show you a live look in brussels right here in just moments. the finnish flag will be raised at nato headquarters in brussels for the first time, the most immediate and significant impact of finland's membership. comes down to one number 832 miles that is the length of finland's border with russia. to put that in perspective, we want to show you what nato's eastern flank looked like before and then what it looks like today, more than doubling nato's presence against putin's border. additionally nato will now have access to
6:41 am
finland's military assets. unlike many members of the military alignment alliance finland did not cut back on military spending. after the cold war, the country has upwards of 257,000 troops, both active and in reserve. as well as hundreds of tanks and combat aircraft. it's also important to remember the original goal of nato, formally known as the north atlantic treaty organization. the group was formed in 1949 to challenge soviet expansion in europe. after world war two. the treaty was signed 74 years ago. today and at the heart of that treaty is article five. the principle of collective defense, which is an attack on one member of nato is quote shall be considered an attack against the all this article has only been invoked once in history after september, 11th. finland's membership coincides with a meeting of nato foreign ministers that includes secretary of state tony blinken . let's go to cnn's nic robertson in london for much more on this, nick. we just
6:42 am
heard from the secretary of state, blinken. let's play this. listen here. i'm tempted to say this is maybe the one thing that we can thank mr putin fork. because he once again here is precipitated. something he claims to want to prevent by russia's aggression. causing many countries to believe that they have to do more. to look out for their own defense and to make sure that they could deter possible russian aggression going forward. now nick, part of the rationale that putin offered for initiating his evasion in invasion of ukraine. was this fear of nato expansion? this seems the exact opposite of what putin was going for. 100% he sold it to the russians that he was going to go into ukraine to force essentially forced nato back. what's really fascinating here is that it's the fins, not anyone else that decided they
6:43 am
wanted to join nato. if you go back just a year and a half ago, most friends thought they didn't really need to be in nato, but it's soon as putin went into ukraine. the position changed on that almost overnight within the space of a couple of weeks. the majority of the finnish people said, look, we want to become members of nato and the political leaders moved very quickly to make sure that that was going to happen. you talked there about that massive military capacity that finland has those 270 odd 1000 potential troops there are available there. they've been partnered with nato for years. they've been training with nato. their equipment is compatible with nato equipment. so they're already four. so when you hear nato secretary general say this makes finland safer and stronger . that's the message to putin that he just inherited a much bigger problem precisely because he went into ukraine, so he's sold the russians. a failure.
6:44 am
and sweden applied for membership at the very same time as finland, nick and of course, you remember that their application is delayed. what's happening there? yes being held up by turkey and hungary. at the moment, the thinking thinking is that the moment that if turkey gives a go ahead, then hungary will as well turkey was the last nato member, the 30th member to ratify finland's application to join nato. so what is turkey holding out over there, saying that finland rather sweden is harboring terrorists that turkish terrorists the pkk, the kurdish workers' party, so this is something that is a contentious issue with sweden because sweden says these people you're asking for ah, they are in our country. we give them due process and there is no need to extradite them as you want. but i think something that kind of fly that flew in the ointment during those tense negotiations just in the past couple of months was a far right danish

politician having a protest in sweden's capital, stockholm, burning a koran and that really ticked off the ticked off the turkish. so at the moment the talks between them at a standstill but said the secretary general of nato did say today he hopes that sweden will be at a joint by the early summer and we were just looking at live pictures from brussels of the nato secretary general, speaking at the ceremony where the finished flag is about to be raised amongst its now nato allies, it's good to see you. thank you so much. sarah a big vote in chicago today, voters are heading to the polls, according to choose the next mayor of the windy city. crime and education are huge issues on the ballot. which two of these gentlemen will win. we'll talk all about it and let the celebrations begin for the fifth time. yukon huskies are the new n c champs will replay highlights from last night's championship game belongs to the huskies. yukon has its fifth.

6:50 am
governor ron desantis ceo bob iger, calling florida's actions against the company anti business after governor desantis tried to strip some of disney's oversight of its own theme park . this fight has been simmering since disney objected last year to legislation to limit discussions of lgbtq issues in florida schools. and so our point on this is that any action that supports those efforts simply to retaliate for a position the company took sounds not just anti business, but it sounds anti florida. cnn's health is with us now. rafael the ceo also had some really strong things to say to his shareholders as well some strong words and also made some bold predictions, saying, essentially , we are investing a lot of money in florida over the next decade, saying that they plan to invest $17 billion in the state of florida. that should generate 13,000 jobs, according to bob iger, but they should also mean more visitors to the state of
6:51 am
florida, which means, of course, more money for the state of florida. now, sarah at the center of all of this is that special tax district that disney has enjoyed for quite some time , and more specifically at the center of this is the board of the special tax district because up until recently, disney had appointed that board. disney had very close ties with that board that has recently changed. but what desantis his office has recently discovered is that that previous board actually gave disney. back some of its power. and so now you have to santa saying wait a minute. you are trying to undermine us. i just want to read for your comment that his office made after we heard from bob iger, saying the florida legislature and governor desantis worked to put disney on an even playing field and disney got caught attempting to undermine florida's duly enacted legislation in the 11th hour. so what happens now? well, desantis is calling for an investigation into that previous board, and, as he has said recently, it ain't over yet. you ain't seen nothing yet happiest place on earth getting into a tussle with the governor. it's just sort of
6:52 am
an interesting dichotomy. but how critical is disney to the florida economy? i know being from florida. it's a big deal for a lot of people. when you think florida you think disney and when you think disney you think florida right is that type of relationship, and disney is the largest private employer in central florida it generates lots of jobs that generates lots of revenue, and it really powers a tourism industry and that part of florida that generates billions of dollars and tax revenue. for florida employee 75,000 people 50 million visitors annually, not including the pandemic, but on a good year and a normal year. that's what we tend to see. but i think desantis his office would say yes, sure. disney is important for florida. but florida is important for disney to solomon . she knows all the business including some of mine. thank you so much. appreciate it. john cries of joy this morning in the most remote corners of the nutmeg state. the yukon huskies or the men's basketball champions for the fifth time.
