hill. this is cnn. mhm. donald trump inside trump tower right now getting ready to leave. for history. we're talking about his arraignment. we still don't know exactly what charges he is facing, but we soon will. we are following all the developments and we have new reporting coming in. the effort to expel three lawmakers in tennessee is now underway. republicans there are trying to remove some democrats for protesting for gun reforms as police now reveal new details about the nashville school shooter. we have just learned he's a billionaire. but could tiger woods soon be wearing green jacket number six. he's won the masters five times already has odds this week as the 87th tournament prepares to tee off those major stories and more all coming in right here. to cnn news, central.
8:02 am
a former president gets arrested today. boy those words are something we are closing in on a historic moment. in a first in u. s history, you're looking at live pictures outside trump tower. donald trump is inside and we have new details on exactly how today's events will unfold. a lawyer for trump claims that the former president may speak to cameras before and or after his arraignment. we'll see. 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 criminal charges facing donald trump, they will finally be known. we also just learned this morning
8:03 am
that donald trump has hired a new lead counsel. criminal defense attorney todd blanche, will take the lead for trump in today's proceeding. cnn's kara scannell is outside the court in manhattan, where she's been for days and days. now the moment really, kara is about to take place. what have trump and his team been doing. i understand you have some new reporting. yeah john, so one of trump's attorneys told me that they were huddling last night, and they were huddling again this morning before trump takes this historic trip down to the criminal courthouse just over my shoulder where he will be arraigned this afternoon. now the attorney tells me that trump's mood is upbeat that he's resilient and that he's vowing to fight these criminal charges and also learning that trump is expected to speak to the cameras and remember this is going to be a very unique situation where the former president will enter the hallway and enter the courtroom . there will be a camera there to capture this moment and we're told that he is expected to say
8:04 am
something either before or after the arraignment. and then once he is inside the courtroom, and the judge asked for him to enter a plea told by one of trump's attorneys that trump himself will enter that plea of not guilty. in some instances, the lawyers do it, but i'm told that trump is going to do it. today we'll see how that plays out real time. meanwhile he has brought on an experienced criminal defense attorney todd land. he's a former federal prosecutor. he's someone that the trump circle knows he once represented paul manafort in state charges brought by this very same district attorney's office. someone who is familiar with the new york state law. he is working with susan necklace, another veteran criminal defense lawyer who represented the trump organization in their tax fraud trial last fall that ended in a conviction. john kerry, you did say that the former president intends to enter his plea himself. he is going to speak those words himself. we will not see that live because video is not going to be allowed to be broadcast live from the courtroom. what was the judge's reasoning behind that? john so
8:05 am
this order came down late last night, and the judge saying that he appreciated the public interest in this case, but he said he had to weigh it against the interests of the defendant. and trump's team, of course, oppose that broadcasting of this thing, it would only add to the circus like atmosphere and saying that it could harm his presumption of innocence. but the judge did not to the moment the historical moments that we're experiencing right now and he wrote. never in the history of the united states has a sitting or past president been indicted on criminal charges. mr trump's arraignment has generated unparalleled public interest and media attention, and he said that the public's interest is understandable. but he said that he was not going to allow cameras to broadcast this live, john. paris canal for us outside the courthouse watching these developments unfold. thank you very much. and sarah. it's clear the judges. carol was just saying they're fully does understand the gravity of this moment. absolutely and how could he not? this is a historic moment. and at this moment,
8:06 am
donald trump is in trump tower, but not for long. we have new details about the course of events on this historic day, he will depart trump tower in just a couple of hours. the drive to the courthouse. is four miles, which in normal new york city traffic could take anywhere from 20 to forever. but with his secret service detail, he should not have to deal with any of that all trials and most court activity will be halted even before donald trump gets there. this is because of security concerns now. when donald trump arrives to the da's office, he will technically be under arrest . he will be booked, he will be fingerprinted. but at this moment, 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 about three hours from now at 2 15 eastern. now as we said trump's lawyers claim that trump will speak before and after the arraignment, we are not clear exactly when or if that is actually going to happen. then
8:07 am
the arraignment during the arraignment, the indictment will be unsealed. finally this is the moment when the public might get its first glance of the details of the charges. his lawyers have said he plans to enter a not guilty plea after the hearing. maybe he speaks right after maybe not, but he is expected to head straight to the airport, go back to mar-a-lago in florida, where he is planning to speak at 8:15 p.m. eastern. you will definitely hear from him some time today. cnn's shimon appropriate has is outside of the court right now, can you give us some more details about what is going on at this hour? we haven't seen huge protests, have we yet? no there are some of the supporters, you know, maybe a couple of 100 who have gathered in the park behind me here, i can actually show you, sarah. why don't we show sarah? there's some of the supporters there behind us. those are where the trump supporters have been
8:08 am
gathering. it's a park that's directly across the street from the courthouse literally across the street from the courthouse. and so you know, potentially trump can hear them when he's inside the courthouse when he's inside the district attorney's office. he's likely able to hear them. marjorie taylor green was here. she spoke for about 10 minutes, and then she left right now, really, we're seeing a lot of activity outside the courthouse here outside the manhattan da's office, just up the street for me here. is where we expect the motorcade to arrive. donald trump will be arriving here than going into the manhattan da's office, and he will be placed under arrest at that moment, taking upstairs to the seventh floor where he's going to be processed the fingerprinting that you were talking about, and then the process begin and we wait for him to go to court. but i can tell you just in the last hour we've seen more secret service agents. we've seen uniform members of the secret service outside here, so certainly they're gearing up and preparing
8:09 am
for his arrival and just the influx of people just continues more and more as the hours get by, and as we get closer to that to 15 to 30 arraignment time, but it's been peaceful out here. certainly the police have been allowing the traffic to flow. they've been letting people walk through the streets, so really right now, i think everyone is just waiting for donald trump to get here. and i will tell you this much once he gets here, things are going to be very, very different. sarah. i want to ask you about what we might see what the public might be able to see. everyone wants to see what these charges are, including his own defense team. when do you think that might happen when it comes to the defense team and the public? but you know, i was watching for the public. it may just may take some time. it may have to happen at 2 31 season court and the d a. maybe will release it. but for the attorneys for donald trump, and for his attorneys, they will know almost immediately when they walk through the doors here
8:10 am
at the manhattan district attorney's office. they will be told what he's charged with they would will be given a copy of the indictment, which will list all of the charges, and they will be given some other information so they will know immediately. the former president will know immediately as he's being placed under arrest, walking through the doors going upstairs to the district attorney's office, so they will know immediately for the public. it may just take a little more time as the process works its way through and then hopefully we will get that information and it will be released sarah outside the court on this his story day, kate ramona's talking about gearing up. well, here's another message . keep the peace and behave. that's the direct warning from new york city mayor eric adams to protesters just this morning as security in the city right now remains really on high alert . cnn's brynn gingras is joining us now with more on this, brent law enforcement has been bracing ever since donald trump called for supporters to protest his arrest. but the mayor says that new york is ready. what are you
8:11 am
seeing? yeah, listen, and the nypd has been saying all along. listen, we deal with major security events all the time. just think of the u. n general assembly in september when they have numbers of heads of state coming into town, so they are used to. this certainly is different a little bit with the secret service involved in other agencies. but certainly they are prepared k. i actually want to kind of let you know where i am right now. we're on the backside of where you just saw shimon on the other side of 100 center that is that building there behind me, where the arraignment is going to take place on a nice day. like we're seeing today. the area just below me is a park . it's usually bustling with people ready to have their lunch . the streets are all shut down, and this is actually likely the route the former president will be taking to get into the arrangement on the side of 100 center. of course, we don't know his direct right route that is by design for security purposes , but it will be interesting to see as the morning into the
8:12 am
afternoon goes on as we start seeing the security posturing that there were dry run throughs by law enforcement of several different agencies. last week, for example, i'm hearing it's possible attempts, maybe put up just outside the door of where the former president will enter one. 100 center for security purposes or just not so no one can actually see him going in, so it'll be interesting again to see what other measures will be taken to protect the former president. we also are hearing very soon, kate. they're going to be shutting down this courthouse. if you can imagine that. this is a very popular court where a lot is happening on everyday basis and to have it completely shut down to make sure there's no foot track traffic into again increase the security. it's quite unprecedented, katelyn polantz. all right. we want to go back outside trump tower. cnn's jeff zeleny is stationed there and jeff we've been talking about the legal implications for donald trump today, and they are
8:13 am
they are immense. but that's not the only implication for him today because, of course there is politics. john without a doubt and now and forever as long as he is a republican presidential candidate, or perhaps the party's nominee. we're going forward. these two paths are completely linked the legal path and the political path we know that the former president has essentially frozen this republican presidential race into place. i've been talking with advisers from some of his rival candidates. yes they're lamenting the fact that there's no oxygen left for them to make their own cases. but they've also had to sort of rally behind him. and against this criminal indictment. we will see how long that lasts, of course, but the politics of this are very immense. it's part of the unprecedented nature of all this, but we should point out. this is one of the very reasons that the former president wanted to announce his candidacy so early. last fall, he knew these potential charges were looming, and this is just one venue. but there's still a georgia case
8:14 am
looming and the potential of a couple of cases in washington this is why he wanted to be an active presidential candidate, john. one thing is so clear standing outside trump tower here where he is still inside him told talking with his advisers and family throughout the morning. that there is no campaign trail that does not include the courtroom. so that is a central part now not only his campaign but also the entire republican presidential race is so interesting. none of us have seen the indictment so none of us knows exactly what donald trump donald trump will be charged with. i do wonder if these other campaigns or potential campaigns like ron desantis. have plans to go through line by line count by count to familiarize themselves with this to make their own decisions going forward. you can be sure that they will be looking through this. you know, they all have lawyers as well and they have a lot at stake here. but they know the perils of speaking out against the former president at this moment because of that republican base. this is still donald trump's republican party. we don't know
8:15 am
if that will be the case in the future going forward as we've been traveling across the country talking to voters for months, there's an exhaustion. there is no doubt there's an exhaustion for all of this drama , so perhaps that will be too much for some republican voters going forward. but for now, at least, you were on the wrong side of your republican politics. if you speak out against donald trump, we will see if that continues, but that's where we are right now, but i am told that the former president will be leaving shortly after lunch time. but as of now he's still in his beloved trump tower, of course, decided so much history, including where he jumped into this race eight years ago. john no one wants to be on the wrong side of politics. jeff zeleny on the right side of fifth avenue outside trump tower. great to see you. thank you. so much for your reporting. sarah. a new era begins. finland officially joins nato will tell you why the expansion matters so much and how it impacts russia's war in ukraine plus tennessee house republicans are trying to remove three democrats from office after they participated in a gun

8:21 am
a dozen others were injured, plus russian authorities have formally charged 26 year old daria trip over with terrorism offenses. this is over the killing of a well known pro war. russian military blogger in that explosion sunday. in st petersburg and also this for tracking today in the midwest. some communities that have just been hammered by whether now need to brace for another round of severe storms. more than 70 million americans are under some level of threat today with the possible possibility of more dangerous long track tornadoes developing overnight. so it is an historic day for nato and a major setback for vladimir putin . as of this morning, finland officially became the 35th member 31st, member of the nato alliance. this was the flag raising just a short time ago. maybe the most significant impact of this is mileage 832 miles that is the length of finland's border with russia. this is what nato's eastern
8:22 am
flank looked like before roughly 755 miles, and this is what it looks like. today you can see finland basically doubles nato's presence against. russia on the border there. additionally nato will now have access to finland's military assets. the country has upwards of 257,000 troops, both active and in reserve, as well as hundreds of 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 the treaty is article five. the principle of collective defense, which is an attack on one member of nato quote, shall be considered an attack against them. all this article has only been used once in nato's history after september 11th so nato leaders from across europe and north america welcomed finland's membership into the group cnn
8:23 am
scott mclean is following this for us in london this morning. so scott, what does this mean for finland. what does it mean for nato? hey john. look the finnish president called this a great day for finland. for finland. it means obviously more responsibility for its armed forces. it also means that it now has the protection of nato article five, which is, as you said an attack on one is an attack on all for nato. it means that their border with russia just got more than 800, miles longer. the secretary general jens stoltenberg, said that look part of russia's justification for going to war in the first place was to get less nato. but now as a result of its invasion, it's actually gotten more nato right on its doorstep. the us secretary of state antony blinken, called this day historic it comes 74 years to the day of nato's formation. he also said this. i'm tempted to say this is maybe the one thing we can thank mr putin for because he once again here is precipitated. something he
8:24 am
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. russia has made it very clear, john that this will have a negative impact on its relations with finland. it's also it's also pledging to match any military build up along its border with finland. the kremlin is also denying that this is in any way a blow to vladimir putin, saying that it didn't have the same kind of issues with finland that it clearly had with ukraine. what russia's got hundreds year long issues with finland. so that statement from putin just not true. is nato done here? what about sweden? yes so, of course, any nato member can veto the membership bid of any potential member and right now there are two main obstacles to sweden's accession . one is hungry. the other one is turkey. so for turkey well, they're upset with sweden so far , failure to repatriate some 120
8:25 am
people that turkey considers to be terrorists that are living in sweden. right now. it's also upset with the recent koran burning outside of its embassy. in sweden and for hungary what their issues are much more broad . they say that sweden has this habit of questioning the state of democracy in hungary, which many in europe are now concerned about. it says that look, it's right for sweden to join the bloc. but it also says that clearly some things need to be cleared in the air before that can happen. how long that will take those? still anyone's guess. john alright scott mclean for us in london. of course, the uk very much part of nato. thank you very much, sarah. we are watching as it any moment former president donald trump could leave from tower and head to that manhattan courtroom where he will be arrested and his indictment unsealed. also in tennessee, an effort to kick out three lawmakers for their stance on gun reforms as we learn new details about the nashville school shooter. double check

8:30 am
dimension in touch of modern .com. good morning, everyone we do begin with breaking news this morning. alright we are keeping a close eye on lower manhattan courthouse there. crowds have started to gather mostly photographers, frankly, trying to get that picture of former president donald trump. arriving
8:31 am
at that courthouse, he will depart trump tower soon. today for the first time, we are going to learn why prosecutors believe that donald trump is a criminal . the grand jury indictment will be unsealed and we could learn crucial new details about this case now donald trump's lawyers claim he may speak in the hallway of the court before and or after today's proceedings, kate we're gonna have to see on that stand by to stand by and we're going to wait for that. but before as we wait for that we do know that the president does plan to speak tonight after he returns home to mar-a-lago. cnn's christian homes in west palm beach where they're preparing for the speech. kristin you also have some new reporting this hour about how the president's team is preparing for the speech tonight. what are you learning? that's right. so i have learned that there is a draft of this speech that was worked on by advisers. they are continuing to tweak that speech, but i'm told by sources that it's not going to be finalized until donald trump delivers it. he's not even
8:32 am
going to review it or revise it until that plane ride home, and they have to take a look at the legalities of it as well. i'm told that there will be legal eyes on this speech before he delivers it course what the big question is whether or not he's going to address those charges or just actually considered. continue doing what we have seen , which is calling this a political witch hunt a hoax and the other thing we're keeping track of is who is going to be in the crowd tonight. we know that the former president has invited gop lawmakers, allies, surrogates, we are still unclear who among them is actually showing up and the reason that matters as we have seen so many of these republicans go full throttle in defense of former president trump and the question is whether or not they are going to continue to be as defensive to continue. you to paint this as a political witch hunt once they actually know what those charges arcade that's a great question. we will see very soon , kristin. thank you, john sarah. okay that's me. joining
8:33 am
me now to talk about all of this is cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller and former federal prosecutor and senior legal analyst hoenig . are you guys sick of talking about this already? i mean, this is unprecedented. it is. i want to talk about this because we need to slow our roll when it comes to the timing. of this case, people see that there's arraignment. there's going to be charged. we're gonna hear about that, and they expect things to go fast. that's not going to be what happens here. is it? yes we are not going to have a trial this spring. we are not going to have a trial this summer. we probably are not going to have a trial this fall. two very important things have to happen before we can even think about a trial. first is what we call discovery in any criminal case. prosecutors have an affirmative obligation to turn over all their evidence. we don't do trial by surprise in this country, including evidence that's good for the defendant. it's actually the only legal job where you have an obligation to turn over evidence that's bad for your side. based on that the lawyers will bring motions motions to dismiss. we've
8:34 am
already heard joe tacopina, another lawyers out there previewing what some of those are going to be. those have to be briefed argued decided, and then you'll get a trial date. i mean, a typical trial of this nature, i would say is a year out, give or take a couple of months. and now if we think about the calendar is crazy going to be a year from now in the middle of primaries, right, so it's extra complicated, all right? speaking of complications, the security threat there have been some direct threats to some of the folks taking part in all of this. this isn't just about the former president, which a lot of people are paying attention to. we're talking about the judge. the d a. can you give us a sense of if you're hearing that law enforcement has heard anything about direct or indirect threats at this point? well they have been following the threats that have either been put forward but more commonly that are being posted online in assorted chat rooms, some of which are open, some of which are closed. so i mean, you have over 100 threats around this case that they've been tracking, but if you close
8:35 am
that down to about 60 of them, that's what you have threats against the d a threats against particular. senior members of his team threats against the judge. and if you turn that sideways what you see is these are people that in public statements. donald trump has accused of things. the judge hates me. the d a. is on a witch hunt. so you're seeing a very brittle environment to have a huge impact when we saw the impact of his words and others when it came to january, 6th, but there was a whole apparatus. there were people from the splc the dl, saying, there is going to be a problem. we're seeing all these groups mobilized. not saying that this time are we not seeing that this time and what you and i've i live in these places where these threats happen. i go online and i kind of call through them to see what is the pitch in tone to any of these seem credible or specific . just the way the nypd does. but what you haven't seen as you
8:36 am
haven't seen, donald j. trump say. i want all my people on this date in particular to gather at this place and, you know, give them hell. um he hasn't done that. the choreography here is much more. i want to get back to home base turf. mar-a-lago i want a room full of supporters. i'm going to make a statement. and you know, then maybe move on to one of his rallies with supporters. i think when you look at after the search warrant mar-a-lago. he raised a million dollars after being indicted. he raised $7 million. i don't know if he raised much money out of january 6th. well, we do know that there's a videographer along with him right now. who is tracking every move in and we can imagine that will come out at some point in a fundraising pitch. i do want to talk about this. we just got this in. donald trump is now asking for this. to be moved the trial to be moved to another borough. he has said this on social media, which is where he has said all his messages so far, although we may hear from him today, but this question is this something his attorneys will also ask for
8:37 am
a change of venue. i think they will. eventually i think it's not that out of the ordinary to ask for a change in venue. he doesn't have much of a chance of succeeding now, if you look at the demographic here in manhattan, new york county the count in the 2020 election was 85% for joe biden 12% for donald trump. so if he manages to get this to almost any other county he will be donald trump will be in a much better situation. however the question for a judge . the legal question is not. is this person popular or unpopular ? it's just is it utterly impossible to give this person a fair trial here, and we have mechanisms for that. we have jury selection, which is an arduous process. it's not perfect. but it enables both the judge and the parties to get rid of people who are unduly biased. so it wouldn't surprise me if they bring that motion. and if they do, i expect them to lose. you know, it's really interesting to think about this. i think he has just put out on social media. he wants it to be in staten island. you don't get to choose, right. i mean, this is not something that the person
8:38 am
who is the defendant gets to choose. sure everyone would would like to pick their county of choice. usually if you do ask to move it. you do ask for an adjacent county. there are a lot of adjacent counties to manhattan, staten island, i think went majority for trump so no wonder he's trying to get over there again. compromise on brooklyn or just have it on the river on a boat. this is assuming that they can't find a fair jury here, and this is supposed to be on the merits of the facts of the case. that is what juries are charged with and what they do, so thank you both so much great conversation that was hoenig and john miller. as you know, and a renewed john alright this morning. three democratic state representatives in tennessee face expulsion after participating in gun safety rallies in the wake of the deadly school shooting in nashville. we're getting new reaction, the state capital, anti business and anti florida disney ceo, not mincing any words over recent actions taken by florida governor ron desantis. my name is brian

to gotham set .com. this is cnn. the world's news network. first lady joe biden is facing criticism for suggesting that the winners and the runners up of sunday's national championship game be invited to the white house. the first lady was at the game in houston when l s u for the very first time in its history, beat iowa to claim the title. cnn's mj lee is at the white house. what exactly did she say? that is seeing quite a bit of backlash? yes sarah, the first lady, sparking a little bit of controversy. if you can call it that, as you said she attended the nc double
8:52 am
a championship game on sunday. and then after l s u one, she said, this take a listen. i know we'll have the champions come to, um to the white house. we always do. so you know, we'll have else you come. but you know what? i'm going to tell joe. i think iowa should come to because they played such a good game. so right, so winners and losers that sportsmanship that's good sportsmanship. it is, of course tradition for the champions to be invited to the white house. but it is not typical for the losing team to get that invitation as well. so that suggestion from the first lady not sitting well with some people, including l s u star player, angel reese, who said on twitter that this suggestion was a joke. now a spokesperson for the first lady has since offered a clarification of sorts, saying that jill biden's comments were intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes. she
8:53 am
looks forward to celebrating the l s u tigers on their championship win. at the white house. now as you know, angel reese had already been in the headlines for making a certain hand gesture during the game at an iowa player, and that has caused some debate about whether she has been subjected to a double standard based on her race. so this game, really making a bunch of headlines for reasons not really related to the game itself, sarah it certainly is. thank you so much. mj lee there at the white house . john the hunt for a green jacket gets underway this week at the augusta national golf club. even our title of our show is warning. the green jacket news central talking about the masters here. scottie scheffler, roy mcilroy, jon rahm, all among the favorites to win not favored to win tiger woods. but that cannot stop the circus. always the center of attention. cnn sports correspondent don riddell joins us now from augusta in don tiger is chasing his what would be record tying sixth green jacket. yeah that's right
8:54 am
standing room only at his press conference a short time ago, john. it's been that way for as long as i can remember. nothing has changed in that regard. everybody wants to hear what tiger woods has to say. here's the headline. he says that his game is better than it was a year ago, which is when he made his comeback from that devastating car crash just over two years ago, he says he's endurance is better. but he says he takes more. i guess that's because he's pushing himself more. he talked about his stubbornness and his hard work, and that's how he's been a successful as he's been but it is what he didn't say. he didn't say he could think he could win it, which is what he did say last year, he said otherwise, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't bother. he was asked that question, and he dodged it. so really the question now or the mood here is how can he find success in the game? and what does it mean to him at this stage of his career? i also asked him how does he find joy? this was his answer. the joy is different. now i'm able to spend
