is the most comfortable place in the universe experience. the difference at moon pod dot co this is cnn. the world's news network. hello everyone. it is the top of the hour and cnn newsroom i'm bianna golodryga and i'm erica hill. this just in to cnn manhattan district attorney is suing republican

congressman jim jordan's over alleged interference in his case against former president donald trump. the former president, of course, was indicted last week. cnn's kara scannell and cnn's manu raju join us with the latest so things are getting more and more acrimonious here, carol what is the latest that you're hearing? yes it certainly is getting more acrimonious piano. we've learned that the manhattan district attorney's office has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block the subpoena from jim jordans committee, the house judiciary committee that they made last week to one of the top prosecutors who worked on this investigation. jim jordan has also reached out to the district attorney's office. brag saying they wanted him to come in and testify. but this is a significant step. forward to combat this effort. bragg's law suit is alleging that this is an unconstitutional effort by congress to try to interfere in the state prosecution. they also say that congress has no power to supervise or to get involved in state investigations. so they're asking the judge here to

block the subpoena for the former prosecutor, mark pomerantz, is testimony. he had a deadline of april 20th. that's next week to report to congress to give his testimony. they're also asking the judge to stop any future subpoena. has to brag , or to any current or former prosecutors from that office who have worked on this investigation. interestingly in this lawsuit, braga's offices also alleging that jim jordans and other republican congressmen have been involved in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation and obstruction, and they cite the former president trump's own threatening statements to brag, and you would call that brags office. did receive a letter with suspicious white powder and it was deemed to be non hazardous. but greg's office saying that these threats, these statements of intimidation by trump we're not denounced by these republican congressman. and instead, they said that the house republicans were participating in these threatening efforts. bianna erica, it is really something as we're just starting to pour through this filing. so what is the reaction at this hour? manu on capitol hill? another

official yet from congressman jim jordan's office. but jordan's is still planning to press ahead with their efforts to probe alvin brags investigation into donald trump, as well as to target decisions that brag himself has made as a prosecutor in manhattan on monday, they plan to have a field hearing in manhattan to spotlight with republicans say is braggs, in their view, lacks of prosecutorial discretion manhattan. they are making clear that they wanted to argue that brags decision to go ahead and press ahead with charges for donald trump was a political one, in their view and at the expense of other, more serious action, so they are using the power of their majority to essentially discredit alvin bragg, and they have made no secret of their desire to potentially to push ahead with legislation legislation that, in their view, would prevent prosecutors. local prosecutors

from the attention charging a presidential candidate and prevent them from doing that in the future. and no real language has been drafted on that yet, but that is the idea going forward in bragg's lawsuit himself itself. it does criticized that effort, saying there is no legitimate legislative purpose to go after the investigation, suggesting that there is no constitutional authority to investigate a single prosecutors probe but don't expect republicans in the house to take this lightly expect some pushback kevin mccarthy, the speaker of the house. supported the efforts by jordan, along with two other house committee chairman to try to target alvin bragg. they are on recess right now, guys, but expect next week. there's to be a major focus for the house republican majority to defend donald trump, even if some republicans, including some senate republicans, want to shift the focus elsewhere. yeah i wouldn't be surprised if maybe somebody said something. prior to that return from recess. manu keira really appreciate it. thank you. well just about two hours from now. officials say

they will hold another news conference to show body camera footage from the police officers . this, of course, coming from the horrific massacre yesterday at louisville bank, one of those police officers still recovering in the hospital. now it comes as we learn disturbing details about that attack the shooter turning on his own coworkers with an ar 15 he bought just days before. the atrocity livestreamed on his social media , police say in the video, he shoots one employee in the back and then targets. others gathered for a staff meeting. the ambush lasting just one minute. the shooter then waited around for police to arrive. new audio today of a dispatcher sending officers to that scene. 25 year old white male, connor sturgeon 64. he's texted. a friend called a friend left a voicemail. he's going to kill everyone at the bank stealing food final. five victims are dead in the wake of that shooting. another eight people were wounded. four are still

being treated today at the hospital and at a press conference earlier, the doctor, the chief medical officer at that hospital, described how consistent gun violence is taking its toll. i'm weary. i've been in love a for 15 years, all of it at university hospital for 15 years i've cared for victims of violence and gunshot wounds. and people say i'm tired, but i'll be answered. it's more than tired. i'm weary. there's only so many times you can walk into a room. and tell someone they're not coming home tomorrow. and it just breaks your heart. when you hear someone screaming, mommy or daddy. it just becomes too hard day in and day out to be able to do that. now. my team is fantastic. their their absolute professionals, and they're wonderful. but sooner or later. it catches up to everybody. you just can't keep doing what we're doing. and it's understandable.

cnn's omar jimenez is live in louisville is our you heard the frustration, the emotion in the voice and the voice there of the doctor. we also had an update from several local officials. what more do we learn? yes so in a press conference this afternoon, we heard a lot of frustrations. we also got some indications of what's to come. we expect body camera video to be released this afternoon of what? what officers encountered when they arrive to the scene and we're told it's going to focus on the interactions between the shooter and police. we also got more specifics on the timeline of this day that it was nine minutes total for when he first fired his shots. police eventually killed this gunman has they have described the gun? one. was purchased legally last week and the louisville area as well. but then the other key part of this is we heard the frustrations from public

officials. you heard some of the hospital officials there, saying it's not just tired, he's weary , and that reflected everyone's thoughts here that it's not just a cute incidents like mass shootings that what happened in the bank behind me, but everyday gun violence that they see here in louisville and the mayor for one, he's someone who survived an attempted shooting of his own , said that he now had to announce the death of people he knew at a separate workplace shooting again, the one that happened here and it's why, he says there needs to be state action to change the laws here and quickly because lives are on the line. take a listen. this isn't about partisan politics. this is about life. and death. this is about preventing tragedies. you may think this will never happen to you. never happened to any of your friends. our loved ones. i used to think that the sad truth is that now

no one in our city no. one in our state. no one in our country has that luxury anymore. and these words come as people are still recovering in the hospital from the shooting for been discharged, three are unstable and fair condition. one is still in critical condition believed to be the officer who was shot in his during his response to the shooting after just being on the force graduated from the police academy just at the end of march. we do expect the vigil tomorrow as well to give a chance for the community, not just heal from this, but find a way. to move forward. omar jimenez with the latest for us from louisville. omar. appreciate it. thank you. also joining us this hour, cnn national security analyst juliette kayyem juliet look, we always appreciate your insight, but none of us wants to continue talking about another shooting. and yet and yet, here we are. we're waiting on this body camera video, which you know, as we just learned, should focus on

the interactions with the shooter. what else is interesting is that we know about this livestream video. john miller on the air earlier was saying this is a way for shooters to really choreographed that narrative to choreograph their story and even rewrite it . and what struck me was we also heard from charles ramsey, who said, releasing this video. is really dangerous. how concerned are you about copycats? and what is the value if any, in looking at that video on a broader public sense? yeah um, i think there is a value to releasing it, if only to not sanitize what is going on in america. we can put context around what we're about to see. but i am of the new school. i think i would argue which, if we don't see it , we tend to sanitize it. we talk about gun shootings or deaths. and one way to recognize

the harm that this particular weapon does. air 15 is to understand what we are putting our police departments in in terms of the of the threat that they are facing. i don't pretend that getting this kind of gun off the street or making it unlawful is going to solve all problems. but as we've seen time and time again, there is almost no capacity to respond to a weapon that not only kills this not only shoots as quickly and this and this and with such damage, but really leaves no room for recovery or for the ability to for police to come in , so it i am. i'm for this. i want to see another reason why it's important. ah to push back or to create a new narrative around these videos. one of the things about the air 15. we see it with politicians as well. politicians as well. it's become a performative weapons. so think about what we see online with politicians or people running for office with their with their

little kids with these guns, it's become a sort of cultural uh, phenomenon as much as it is a weapon, and i think these videos become performative for the people who are doing them, and it's a way of sort of, you know, showing off what they're doing, and we have to push back on that narrative, whether we see it online with allegedly, you know, political people who are who are putting their kids with a r 15 to or killers themselves who are using it in this kind of theory, theatrical way we've got. we've got to make it real for people. real people are dying. i mean, let's you know we don't we don't need to be. we don't need to sanitize it anymore. julia can i just get you to weigh in on that press conference that we heard because it was quite powerful? yes, we got the details, and we got specifics on how the victims are doing and more information on the shooter. and what have you but then we heard officials from the mayor to a local representative there to the medical official really get personal and say enough is enough and call for action and

call on state officials to change the gun laws. we know that they're very lax gun laws in kentucky as a whole. all but i was floored. when i heard the mayor said that it is legal for that gun that was used by the gunman to now be auctioned and sold and go right back onto the streets of that city. yeah you would think at the very least there could be a carve out that you don't put the weapon that kills five or six people back on the street. but the way that the laws have been written in support of gun ownership is that those can be recycled there in police ownership. now that is just a grotesque. i mean, let's just be with no country needs to do that. we have enough guns. you know, they don't need to be recycled the second law that we should consider, and we're is this fight between localities and states. we know guns transfer between, say, louisville and the rest of kentucky. but if they community wants to make a statement about what can be sold in its jurisdiction that's being taken away by the courts. and so what louisville is asking for is more

authority. from the state to be able to essentially raised the floor in terms of gun laws. i will say everything i heard from them is exactly right. 40 dust in louisville, louisville since the beginning of the year of gun violence outside of mass shootings, but the one piece that was sort of jaw dropping for me was the deputy police chief, humphrey says. the reality that we know now we used to tell communities and people to run and hide and then only fight if you have to. two and i think there's a growing recognition as he said that if you think you have the capacity to stop this, do it. that is the police event. essentially saying , no matter how good we are, we're not good enough against this weapon, and i think that should should cause us all pause, and that's what they were. police responding incredibly, in just three minutes time. of course, we're thinking probably who are recovering in the hospital, including that 26 year old police officer who was so new

and fresh to the job. juliette kayyem. thank you. well, that's just in the five louisiana law enforcement officers charged in the may 2019 violent arrest of black motorist ronald green pled not guilty at their arraignment today. green later died from his injuries. police claim he resisted arrest and struggled with officers. his family says they were initially told green died in a car crash. after a police chase video of the incident released two years later showed officers kicking, punching and using a taser on green before he died in their custody. the charges the officers face range from negligent homicide, obstruction of justice. and still to come for us new details on the health of alexa and the ball name. we will have a live report from moscow. next. plus a setback for dominion. why the judge has the company cannot bring up the january 6th insurrection during its trial against fox. t m mobie

update to bring you on the health of jailed russian opposition figure alexei navalny exposed. a spokesperson for navalny says that his health is deteriorating. cnn's matthew chance it's live for us now in moscow when we hear it's deteriorating. what more do we know about that condition? well it doesn't look good. in fact, the information we've got comes to us from alexei navalny's spokesperson, kiri amish, who has been posting her concerns on social media. she's saying that the jailed russian opposition figure navalny has been experiencing severe stomach pain over the course of the past couple of weeks. in fact, he's lost a lot of weight. she's saying it's eight kg. that's £17.5 in the past, 15 days, is in an isolated prison cell, and the amish says that an ambulance

on friday night was called to attend to alexei navalny, but they have not been told and he hasn't been told what the diagnosis has been by the prison authorities. this is the most worrying bit, though, because kerry amish, the spokesperson of election of alan is saying. we don't rule out that all this time in prison, he could have been poisoned with something to make his health deteriorate slowly but steadily now, of course, that that might seem fantastical, but not when you put it in the context of what alexei navalny has been through. he was believed to have been poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent back in 2020 with the german authorities identified as novice choke. he was medevacked from russia, as you may well, remember, um and taken to germany, where he was rehabilitated, where he rehabilitated and recovered. he then came back to russia in january of the following year and was immediately detained and has been in prison ever since.

it's not the first time there have been health scares about election navalny since he was in risen just in january. 500 russian doctors signed an open letter. basically calling for more medical attention to be given to alexei navalny, who they believed was being mistreated on the medical front inside his his penal colony. of course, we'll continue to keep covering this story and following it all, matthew chance. thank you. today a setback for dominion voting systems and it's defamation lawsuit against fox news. the delaware judge ruling dominion cannot bring up the january 6th attack on the capital during that trial, which begins tomorrow and also warned fox lawyers not to undermine his rulings in front of the jury. the voting technology company is suing fox news for repeatedly broadcasting false claims that dominion voting machines rigged the 2020 election. cnn senior media reporter oliver darcy joins us now with the latest oliver. so how did the judge

explained his rulings? a series of rulings today about what can be mentioned at the trial, which begins in about a week and what can can be mentioned in. the judge says that january 6th that cannot be mentioned that will not be mentioned when this case does go to trial. he says that maybe another courts at another time, but it's not for this court at this time. and so that's a legal victory for fox, which wanted to borrow references to the capital attack . when this goes to trial that said, the judge did rule in favor of some of dominions motion. tions as well. and these are pre trial motions are very common before a case goes to trial. he said that the dominion voting systems can bring up financial information related to the case. he said. economics are very important and he talked about how fox news cannot show broadcast where they did fact check some of trump's election lies. he says that just because of some broadcast did that that doesn't excuse the broadcast

that it spread those lies and like i said, this trial is supposed to start very shortly. we have jerusalem action set to begin on thursday and then if both sides cannot reach a settlement this will go to trial on monday with opening arguments in a wilmington's court. so we'll be watching that meantime, fox did you settle a defamation case when the venezuelan businessman the network linked to who? the network i should say linked to voting ste fraud in the 2020 elections? um what does this tell us about what could happen here with dominion? well it's possible that could figure out a settlement with dominion as well. i mean, they have settled cases in the past, and most legal experts are pretty surprised that this has gone this far in the court system without a settlement being struck. that said, you know, there are no indication so far that we're going to see a settlement. of course, you know, people will say that there are no indications of a settlement until a settlement is announced

. but right now it's looking like this is going to trial and jury selection again is slated to start on thursday. hover darci. appreciate it, as always. thank you. silicon charged with child neglect. the mother of six year old student who shot his first grade teacher indicted those details ahead. sunday night. we're trying s somethinga littttle different. one wholele story. one whole hour. world's best journalists dig deeper into the stories they can't ignore. the whole story with anderson cooper premieres sunday at eight on cnn, r e. e x a i am. oh yeah . free exam. america's best you get a free quality eye exam when you buy two pairs of glasses starting at just 79 95. the exam

the adviser. match quiz now at smart asset .com was this close? it's close. melanie's nana in washington and this is cnn. the

mother of a six year old virginia boy who shot his first grade teacher has been indicted. prosecutors say the woman's son shot rich nick elementary school teacher abigail's warner in her hand and chess last january. he will not be charged. cnn's brian todd is here with specifics on this indictment. so, brian what are the charges and how soon before she surrenders to authorities? we'll be on a erica deje taylor, the mother of the six year old has been charged with felony child neglect and with recklessly leaving a loaded firearm so as to endanger a child, and that is a misdemeanor charge. her lawyer says she will turn herself in later this week. last month, the commonwealth's attorney told us taylor's six year old son who shot teacher abby's warner, in that first grade classroom on january 6th. that he will not be charged in this case, james ellison and asia. taylor's attorney sent cnn a statement saying in part, quote, deja has cooperated from the first day of the incident. she has no criminal record.

she's 26 years old. she has one child. most criminal prosecutions are adversarial in nature, but we will make our best efforts so that these proceedings will be more collaborative than most. james ellison had previously told us that the boy's parents had claimed that they kept that gun at their home secured. that the gun was secured with the safety and kept on the top shelf of the mother's bedroom closet. but eric and bianna there you have the latest charges for data taylor here. and brian, is there a sense that anybody else could face charges here? there is the commonwealth's attorney says it wants to convene a special grand jury to continue the investigation. lawyers for the teacher, abby's warner's say they believe the school district violated state laws, possibly by ignoring warnings that he had a gun. on the day of the shooting a lawsuit filed last week by his warner claims that the six year old had been violent at home that he had choked a teacher during the previous school year when he was in kindergarten. also in kindergarten, he had

touched a female classmate inappropriately on the school playground and that school administrators were aware of all of this well before the shooting. so erica bianna, the lawyers for the teacher, really do believe that the administrators of the school district and specifically of that school violated virginia state law so charges could be forthcoming for them. any more details brian into the lawsuit that was filed by that teacher. well it really is kind of a litany of warnings that were ignored, specifically blaming the person who was then the assistant principal of rich neck elementary school. her name is ebony parker for ignoring several warnings by teachers and others that that child had a gun that he brought a gun that had been seen with it that he threatened others. cnn has reached out tried to reach out to ebony parker. we were never able to make contact with her to get her response to these accusations. brian todd. appreciate the updates. thank you. and still to come. president biden on his way to northern ireland to mark the

now live from belfast as we know biden won in a long line of u. s presidents who can point to some irish ancestry, which always makes for an interesting conversation with folks ahead of the president's visit. what are people telling you? yeah but jfk really started the tradition about 60 years ago when he came and visited ireland in search for his irish roots. since then, we've seen the likes of reagan and even obama come here to trace their roots. but the irish sometimes celebrate their president, u s presidents and unusual ways. have a look. i'm currently at probably the most highly regarded landmark in ireland. welcome to barack obama plaza become a viral favorite on tiktok on the side of an irish motorway arrest stop named after president barack obama, ireland . my name is barack obama of the

money goal. obama's. barack obama plaza was built here in the tiny village of moneygall, where obama's ancestors immigrated from in the 19th century. always dress up this much. obama visited the village in 2011. that makes you guys cousins? yeah your nickname you gave me the nickname henry. the eighth. henry healy is obama's distant cousin and is now a manager at the barack obama plaza. i think it definitely raises some eyebrows in the united states when they hear there's a rest stop at the side of a highway. named after an american president does be some shocking all the cardboard cutouts that we have here are phenomenally popular here with the enthusiasm that only irishman can muster ireland's love affair with us presidents began when president john f. kennedy visited his ancestral home here in new ross county, wexford in 1963. and you were

sitting in the front row. i was about to say maybe 10 15 yards out there. mark minivans. dad was mayor of new rossa at the time and was to introduce kennedy to the crowd. can you hear me now? can you hear me? some of the microphone stopped working just as jfk arrived. microphones broke down just before he started so he was even more uptight. the microphones broke down broke down when president kennedy was only over the coming along the street here in right trouble now, technical glitch was eventually resolved in the speech ended up going ahead. it took 100 and 15 years to make this trip. a trip which included a visit here, so this is the original farmyard. the president of the president's great grandfather, patrick kennedy, left from he actually left through that gate, the same geese famine when he went after boston. like many irish americans, kennedy's great grandfather immigrated to the united states during the irish potato famine think he decided

to come back to europe and show that he was proud of his peasant roots. kennedy began a tradition of presidential visits to ireland. reagan visited in 1984 so many irish men and women from every walk of life played a role in creating the dream of america. interiors of this pub in reagan's ancestral village of bali. pooran were eventually shipped to california to the reagan presidential library. now perhaps the most irish of irish american president is about to visit the country and his cousins. the blue. it's here in ballymena county. mayo are getting ready to tell us how you're related to the president. first of all, so my dad is his third cousin. so his great great grandfather, edward blew it left in the 18 sixties and he went to move to scranton girls. how does it feel to be related to the president? and it's very exciting? yeah president and have you met him before? yes twice. what did he say? chair?

he's just he was just eating our chips. and when, when the fancy meals came out, he just wanted the chips and chicken nuggets stealing your chicken nuggets. yeah biden's ancestors the blue, it's and the finnegan's immigrated from counties, mayo and loud. your dad and joe biden are third cousins, but you seem to be the favorite cousin. i don't know why it was well, maybe it's just my personality, everybody. biden has visited ireland in the past and larissa blue. it has made multiple trips to the white house. but this would be the first time they will welcome him to ireland as president. we've struck up a great friendship since the first day that we met. you know his family are steeped now traditions. he he talks about it all the time. he tells great stories of growing up and basically growing up in an irish household. even though you know, obviously they were very much american. from accepting the presidential medal of freedom. you know, i can't let it come and go by without quoting an

irish poet. to accepting the democratic party's nomination for president, the irish poet seamus heaney once wrote, always seems to have a line of irish poetry to hand but then once in a lifetime. the longed for tidal wave of justice can rise up and hope and history rhyme. he's just so proud of the irish roots like he's really problems. irish roots. um we have had the other presidents. this president is more important. i think talent than the rest of them. and president biden aboard air force one due to arrive here in belfast. any minute now, tomorrow he will be speaking about the good friday agreement on its 25th anniversary. of course, it achieved peace here in northern ireland, but an uneasy peace there is still a tensions and a lot of issues and challenges to overcome here, and then he will make his way south, the republic of ireland. whereas

you saw there. emily and lauren blewett, his two very young cousins will be hoping to hang on to their chicken nuggets. yeah you know what? keep those chicken nuggets and fries close when the president gets near tony. i loved that and beyond. and i were talking in the break about how we love how you've been out speaking to people, but i think you know one of the important questions today is yes. joe biden is connected to ireland. and yes, they're excited to see him. but is there more excitement when danny o'sullivan comes home? i think it might be us. yeah i don't. i don't think so. not even not even my own mom and dad are to having seen with these days when i go back. tony i loved that piece. the only thing missing was your mom and dad. yeah every single piece that you produce, i just love them. and um, next time you're joining us, please make sure that they're there with you. the campaign for dhoni's parents will do my best . i'll pass on my regards. i'll
