"cnn this morning" starts right now. good morning, everyone. poppy is off, erica hill is here with us this morning. let's get started with five

things to know for this friday, may 5th, 2023. federal prosecutors in the mar-a-lago investigation are now getting cooperation from an insider who worked for donald trump at his resort. that's according to new reporting from "the new york times." >> police have arrested a former uc davis student in connection with three recent stabbings near campus. he's being held on two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. new overnight, a second mass shooting in serbia in as many days. eight people are dead, at least 13 others wounded. police say they've arrested the gunman after an all night manhunt. also happening today, the april jobs report is going to be released. the number could help or hurt jittery markets that are on edge about the security of regional banks. and the uk preparing to officially crown its new king this weekend. the coronation dinner for king charles is set for tonight at buckingham palace. "cnn this morning" starts right now. ♪

so you have to be the most excited for the coronation. you did this whole amazing report on it on sunday, it was so good. >> thank you for watching. it will be really interesting to see. i think so many people are watching too to see how different it is. >> yeah. >> and how sort of modern they can make it. >> and what it looks like with him taking over, of course. his mom's so popular. >> people got really used to the queen after 70 years. it's a big change. >> we have a full team on the ground in london for all of that. breaking this morning, the leader of russia's wagner group said he is pulling his troops out of bakhmut, that key ukrainian city we've been talking about. they've been trying to capture it for months. the leader of this group is publicly blasting russian military leaders accusing them of not supplying his men with ammunition. he posted an angry video on social media standing next to a pile of what he says were dead mercenaries. we have a warning now we have blurred this video, but it is still very graphic.

>> translator: these men here who died today are wagner pmc. their blood is still fresh. you think you are the masters of this life? you think you can dispose of their lives? you think because you have warehouses full of ammunition that you have that right? >> the men you see there is a powerful oligarch known as putin's chef because he operates a catering business and is very loyal to the kremlin. he has been openly recruiting mercenaries from prisons including convicted murderers, throws them into the bloody fight with little to no military training. cnn's senior international security correspondent nick paton walsh is live in zaporizhzhia in eastern ukraine. i wonder how significant you see this video and this announcement given you've been covering this for so long?

>> reporter: yeah, it is remarkable to hear this kind of open statement, and it's staggering to imagine that by the middle of next week a group which has so publicly talked about the vital nature of the fight for bakhmut, tlhousands o lives of convicts often with very little training or tactical awareness into the meat grinder is publicly telling the russian minister of defense and essentially vladimir putin that they're out. by the middle of next week just after the very important date in the russian calendar, victory day on may the 9th. they're sticking around to be sure that isn't, quote, spoiled. that is an extraordinary challenge to the kremlin on the surface and certainly suggests that the rifts inside the russian military's different branches that seem to have potentially been healed in recent weeks, they're way out in the open. that video, that is a man essentially who's brought people to the front line and thrown them towards ukrainian guns very callously suddenly claiming to have great emotion for the

bodies behind him. but it is an absolutely stark suggestion as to the poor condition of russian forces and the bickering internally. i have to hold out the possibility that this might be some bit to get the ukrainians to rush towards bakhmut seeing an opportunity, but i have to say this is now three days of very embarrassing things for vladimir putin. we have the drones over the kremlin, whatever happened there in reality, it's certainly not a good look to have to admit to two drones flying over the heart of your government and damaging the roof there with an explosion, and now we have a man who's probably one of the most public figures after the russian military saying that they're going to give up this deeply symbolic city that they've thrown thousands, a recent u.s. assessment suggested 10,000 people may have died for russia fighting for this city since december alone. and now here they are saying all of that will come to nothing unless they get military shells that they believe russia is somehow holding onto in its

warehouses. it may also be they're running out of them. >> it's such a good point you're making about how per goshen is acting like he cares about their lives, their well being. dmitry peskov not commenting, not confirming this so far. thank you for that report in ukraine. this morning a significant development in the trump classified documents investigation. "the new york times" reporting federal prosecutors have secured the confidential cooperation of an insider witness who has worked at mar-a-lago. this unnamed witness has reportedly provided investigators with a picture of the storage room where the material had been held. we don't know much else at this point about where prosecutors may have learned from this insider. all of this of course part of the broader justice department investigation looking into whether trump ordered boxes of sensitive materials out of a storage room. that coupled with reporting you saw first here on cnn about prosecutors showing interest in mar-a-lago surveillance tapes raising questions about where the investigation stands this

morning. let's bring in cnn senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid. so paula, what should we take from all of this, particularly this new insider witness "the new york times" is reporting about? >> i'd be cautious about "the new york times" story, it's a big splashily headline, but they don't provide any information about who this person is or what they have provided to investigators beyond a picture of a storage space, even the story itself says this could be significant, but little is known about what this person has provided. as cnn has reported, pretty much everyone who works at mar-a-lago right now has been subpoenaed, everyone from waiters to people in operations, to the director of security, and it's unclear if this person's cooperation is providing some sort of significant evidence or if they're just providing something like pictures of the premise that they may have been asked for by investigators. but as cnn first reported on wednesday, investigators right now, they are really focused on

whether they have all of the security footage from mar-a-lago that they need to determine what exactly happened to classified materials once they went down to florida. we also broke the news that they had subpoenaed two top security officials, matthew calamari and his son, to ask them what happened to this footage after it was subpoenaed. now, on that footage, the footage they have received, they see something significant in this investigation, something they really narrowed in on, that is a junior trump aide, walt nn nada and another employee moving boxes out of a storage facility. some of those boxes did contain classified materials, and investigators understandably have had a lot of questions about why walt was moving those boxes out of that storage space, who directed him to do that, where did they go. it's our understanding that walt has talked to investigators multiple times but has at times given inconsistent statements. people familiar with this

investigation on the trump side say, look, walt nada is not cooperating and without his cooperation it will be very difficult for the justice department to bring any case against the former president. but all of this reporting both from "the new york times," from cnn, it's clear this is still a very active and ongoing investigation. even yesterday we saw new witnesses going before the grand jury. >> yeah, it is notable to see. they're still bringing people in on this, paula reid. as we know more about this, keep us updated. thank you for that. a former uc davis student arrested in connection with three stabbings near campus, two of those victims died. authorities released this photo of the suspect, 21-year-old carlos dominguez who they believe is responsible for all three stabbings over the last week. >> these crimes were horrific. they're hard to imagine. they struck fear in the community, and we know that. we've also experienced loss. we hope that the announcement today provides some level of

relief. >> police say they received about 15 calls on wednesday from people saying they had seen someone who matched the suspect's description in a park. when he was brought in for an interview they found a large hunting knife in his backpack. he's facing two counts of homicide and one count of attempted murder. according to uc davis, dominguez was a student there until last week when he was, quote, separated for academic reasons. >> a lot of questions about that story. also this one, the manhattan district attorney's office is looking into that disturbing video that shows a subway rider putting a homeless man in a chokehold. jordan neely we now know died after that incident on monday. his death has been ruled a homicide, though there are still a lot of questions about what happened here. the marine veteran who put neely in that chokehold for several minutes has not been arrested or charged with a crime, but protesters and even the governor here in new york, kathy hochul are both demanding justice. cnn's jason carroll is live outside the subway station where it happened here in new york. a lot of questions here. we do know that they questioned this former marine about what

happened here. they're talking to witnesses. what more do you know this morning? >> reporter: right, this investigation well underway, and in terms of witnesses, the d.a.'s office says they're going to try to interview as many people as possible to try to put together a fuller picture of what happened here. the d.a.'s office says he has his most experienced prosecutors on the case. meanwhile, the governor has weighed in on this calling this an extreme response in terms of what happened here and says there has to be consequences for what happened to neely. >> justice for! >> jordan neely! >> reporter: calls for justice ringing throughout new york city for jordan neely, a man who was killed on a new york city subway by another passenger who placed him in a chokehold. >> the person posed no threat. he was screaming for food and drink. he had no weapon. he didn't assault anyone. how did he end up dead? >> reporter: the manhattan

district attorney is investigating the incident. the former marine who placed neely in the chokehold was interviewed by police after the incident and released according to a law enforcement source. >> i do want to acknowledge how horrific it was to view a video of jordan neely being killed for being a passenger on our subway trains. his family deserves justice. >> reporter: the passenger who recorded this disturbing video says neely had been acting erratically before the incident, shouting i don't care if i die. i don't care if i go to jail. i don't have any food. but he says neely did not try to attack anyone on the train. >> we arrive at the station, the door's open. all the people run that way, and the guys stay in this position about eight or seven, eight minutes. >> reporter: cnn has not been able to independently confirm what happened leading up to the incident, nor how long neely was

restrained or whether he was armed. neely was a dancer and a michael jackson impersonator in times square and on new york subways. he had struggled with mental illness and had a history of prior arrests. family and friends say neely was deeply impacted by his mother's murder in 2007 according to the jersey journal. in 2012 a man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for murdering neely's mother in their home and, quote, dumping her body in a suitcase in the bronx. >> i know that him losing his mother, he never got over that. i know that he -- from what he said, he didn't have a strong father figure in his life. i know that the only joy that he really found was in interacting with other members of the community and performing. >> reporter: this is an issue that has touched on a whole number of pressing issues here in the city including crime and mental illness. new york's mayor has said wait

for the outcome of the investigation. meanwhile, a protest is planned for later today in front of the manhattan d.a.'s office in support of neely. >> the whole thing is incredibly complicated and just sad all around. >> it really is. >> jason carroll, thank you so much. the white house is now floating a short-term fix on the debt limit as the nation faces a potential economic disaster just weeks from now. also, the justice department just secured a major victory as the former leader of the proud boys and three other members have all been found guilty of seditious conspiracy. we're going to break douwn all f this with a legal expert next. now has 24-hour renewing micro moisture for cocontinuous care. new dove body wash. change i is beautiful. ♪ here's to the very first influencer in your life... mom! this is how mom shines. find the perfect mother's day gift... ...at zale

there is a possibility worst-case scenario that it will be june the 1st, it will be very close. best case scenario will be august 8th. >> safe to say neither of those scenarios are very good, certainly not in washington. that was the chief economist for moody's mark zandi who predicted the u.s. will default on its debt roughly a month from now, could default on its debt. he urged them to set aside their political debates or risk a recession. congressional leaders and president biden are set to meet at the white house on tuesday. the white house appears open to maybe a short-term fix of raising the debt limit for a shorter period of time. >> at least that part of the

conversation about length, i would love to be in that part of the conversation because we're at least in the positive. default's off the table. so i'm happy when we get to that part of the conversation. we're not there yet. and the idea is to put brinksmanship to bed and get to talking on making sure we avoid default, and once we're talking about time frame, that means we're at least on the right side of this debate. >> phil mattingly joins us now here on set this morning. chelan da young's is saying we'll take what we can get as long as we can get to some kind of agreement. >> to be fair, that's always been the case to some degree. this stuff is actually not complicated. i think the value of shalanda who is the person you should watch in this debate going forward, she's a long-time hill veteran who's been at the center of all the agreements that have happened and the budgets in the course of the last couple of years, this issue is not that complicated. what gets complicated is negotiating positions, politics,

messaging all of those types of issues. the white house needs the debt limit raised, period, end of story, so does everyone else in the entire country, the economy is at stake here and not a lot of o'time to do it. the issue is the white house thought they had a negotiating position. they thought the adults in the room would say why are you negotiating over the idea of default. this should not even be on the table. this shouldn't be a point of leverage. we should move away from this. the problem is kevin mccarthy pass added a bill. kevin mccarthy has leverage because he has a bill that has passed. mitch mcconnell has not joined with the white house and stayed with kevin mccarthy, and so we're at this stalemate right now where no one's really sure how to get out of it, and the two negotiating positions, the two positions of the two sides are completely diametrically opposed with no real middle ground or pragmatic area to find a resolution. other than that, though, everything's wonderful. >> so we're going to be fine, we have nothing to worry about, no politics getting in the way here. the brinksmanship will be fine.

>> here's the actual concern, we've been in these moments before, 2011 was probably the most acute with the economy. and there's always a way out, at the last minute they figure out, people like shalanda young when she was on the hill or in the administration, find some way to thread the needle, some legislative solution here. the difference right now is when you talk to people who really know what's going on, they don't know what that solution is, and that's scary to be frank. >> the other complicating factor here for the white house is that biden is running for re-election, so he's considering that in how he's responding to all of this, not just simply going for the end goal. one thing that's been talked about with his re-election effort is his age. of course this is something he has said is a legitimate question. jeff zeleny was in michigan talking to voters what they think about this. this is what they told him. >> i think we need a new generation of leaders. i think we need people with fresh ideas. >> i personally only voted for him as a way to debunk trump. i really thought our democracy

was in jeopardy and wanted someone else. >> we hear people say age is just a number until god takes him home, he has the strength right now to do what he needs to be doing for the country. >> he looks much better than i expected him to. but what can i say i'm 80 years old myself. he's one of my people. >> the white house is like, okay, how did they respond to that? >> this shows that the polls are right, right? this is obviously a significant concern. it is one the white house officials, they've been keenly aware of this for a long time. that second sound that you heard from jeff's great interviews is the critical one. donald trump is running again. donald trump is winning in the polls by a significant margin and seems to be on the path to be the republican nominee. that voter who voted just to get donald trump out of the white house who voted because they're concerned about democracy or voted because they were concerned about the prior four years, they're going to have that same concern this time around and that should drive people together. i think you will see the party unify, and the feeling inside the white house is democrats will come home, the base will be

there and others will joined when they're concerned about the broader issues here. contrast is key with them. they know age is an issue. they feel like on a contrast level that's where they win. >> yep, we'll see. >> appreciate it, thank you.

jean carroll's case against trump are set to start on monday. the former president has not appeared in court. his attorney says he still doesn't plan to testify. the judge, however, is giving the former president until sunday at 5:00 p.m. to change his mind. carroll is suing trump for battery and defamation. she says he raped her in a bergdorf goodman dressing room in the '90s and lied about it destroying her reputation. cnn's kara scannell joining us now. we have this little window until sunday at 5:00, so pnow we just wait. >> carroll's attorneys rested their case after calling 11 witnesses. carroll herself testified, trump's attorneys said they were not putting on a defense. they thought about calling an expert witness, then didn't. and trump's attorney said that the former president was not coming. then of course these comments overnight were hanging in the air all day yesterday until the end of the day, the judge asked trump's attorney are you resting your case.

this was outside the presence of the jury. he said, yes, i am. he said does trump waive his right to testify, he said yes, and then the judge said i'm going to give you until 5:00 anyway, kind of acknowledging that trump's attorney can't control his client. he's saying just to protect the integrity of this trial, i'm going to give you until 5:00 to say for sure whether you want to do this, and the judge said it doesn't mean i'm going to grant it, but i'm going to allow this space. but they then went straight into conversations about the schedule, how closing arguments will take place monday, and the jury will get it as soon as tuesday. >> i think one thing is trump's lawyers don't always speak for him. obviously we saw that many times in the white house. he wasn't there in person, but they did hear from him, in a deposition that i think was done in october, what is he saying in this deposition? >> yes, they heard about 30 minutes yesterday, and they heard about 25 minutes the day before. you know, in this deposition, trump is kind of sitting hunched over, pretty still, you know, answering the questions. but it's the first and only time the jury will hear from trump as of now, you know, address these

specific allegations in the case. you know, so it was your regular q & a, but then they were confronting him with some of his own comments including the access hollywood tape where trur trump is there and he's talking about how he's a celebrity, he just kisses women, he can't help himself. so a little bit of the deposition here is on videotape. we've asked for it from the court and the parties, and we're working through this process to get it. hopefully we can bring it to everyone, but here's what he says, he says, well, his torit historically that's true with stars. >> carroll says true with stars they can grab women by the -- trump said if you look over the last million years, i guess that's been largely true, not always but largely true. unfortunately or unfortunately. and then he's also, though, addresses the defamation claim in this case. this is all based on a truth social post he made, and he's, you know, asked did you write this yourself? and he says, oh, yeah, i wrote it myself. i don't know who this woman is. it's a hoax, she's not my type. and then he says to carroll's

attorney this, you wouldn't be a choice of mine either to be honest. i wouldn't under any circumstances have any interest in you. so certainly not taking a more demure posture in his deposition from the trump that we see often in these campaign speeches. >> yeah, certainly not. >> no. i'm going to leave that one alone. kara, appreciate it, thank you. >> thanks, kara. new overnight, "the washington post" has just put out a report drawing more scrutiny to supreme court justice clarence thomas. apparently a high profile conservative judicial activist arranged for the wife of justice thomas, her name is ginni thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars but that there should be, quote, no mention of her. this is how it all worked according to "the washington post." the conservative judicial activist known as leonard leo who plays a high profile role in many republican circles. he advises a network of conservative nonprofits including one known as the judicial education project. in 2012 the same year that that

nonprofit filed a brief to the supreme court in a landmark voting rights case, leonard leo told kellyanne conway, of course who later became a trump adviser that he wanted to give ginni thomas, quote, another $25,000 with, quote, no mention of ginni, of course. that day her company billed the judicial education project for $25,000 and that money was for ginni thomas. documents reviewed by "the post" show that conway's company paid thomas's firm $80,000 between june 2011 and june 2012. it's still not fully clear what exactly ginni thomas did for conway's polling company or for the judicial education project. the nonprofit did file a brief in shelby versus holder where the court invalidated key parts of the voting rights act of 1965. justice thomas wrote an opinion in that case that was consistent with judicial education project's position. here's how leonard leo is responding to this reporting. quote, the work ginni did here did not involve anything connected with either the court's business or with other

legal issues, knowing how disrespectful, malicious, and go gossipy people can be i've always tried to protect the privacy of justice thomas and ginni. the post did not receive responses from justice thomas, from ginni thomas his wife or k kellyanne conway. in one of the highest profile january 6th cases yet, a jury in washington has convicted four far right proud boys members of seditious conspiracy including its former leader, enrique tarrio. prosecutors accused five men of mounting a sophisticated operation to block the transfer of power from former president trump to president joe biden. the jury convicted four of sedition and three other conspiracy charges, obstructing the electoral college vote and tampering with evidence. the fifth man was found guilty on a handful of other felonies. the verdict is a major win for the justice department marking the third time prosecutors have secured guilty sedition verdicts linked to the january 6th insurrection. attorney general merrick garland said it is clear the doj will do

everything in its power to defend democracy. >> the evidence presented at trial detailed the extent of the violence at the capitol on january 6th and the central role these defendants played in setting into motion the unlawful events of that day. >> tarrio's lawyers argued prosecutors were using his client as a scapegoat and has promised to appeal the decision. let's bring in alan jenkins, the co-author of one sixth the graphic novel out today. good to have you with us this morning. first i'm curious your take on what we saw in terms of these guilty verdicts. what is that message? >> stepping back, democracy is the most important value we have as americans. these guys tried to steal it. they tried to overthrow a full and fair election, and four of them were convicted of

conspiracy, seditious conspiracy. i think that's appropriate. i think we also see that the jury was careful. they convicted some defendants of some things and others of other things, so i think it gives us some confidence that they were really paying close attention. the implications are significant. there are multiple investigations into tampering with this election, at least two of them involving president trump, so we'll have to wait and see, but it's an important big step. >> so they did pay close attention to the charges here. one thing i was interested by as this was breaking yesterday and this verdict was being read aloud in court, is pezzola wasn't charged and convicted of seditious conspiracy like the others because he wasn't a leader in the proud boys. but he among the five of them was the most violent that day. >> he was, and he was convicted of other charges. we'll remember the images of him taking a shield from an officer and using it to break into the capitol building. so he was certainly an actor here, but seditious conspiracy

requires some other elements, and the jury found that that hadn't been proved in his case. >> when we look at what else is to come here and we look at other pending cases and what we heard from merrick garland, do you think this is sending the message that the justice department wants it to send? is it being heard by the right people? >> well, it depends who we think are the right people. i think that the threats to our democracy still remain. i don't think you see these actors going away, particularly the proud boys. and so, you know, whether they're hearing the message that this was the wrong thing to do, i don't know. whether the american public is seeing that there is some measure of accountability for an attempt to overthrow our democracy, i think, yes. perhaps not enough, but i think we see some important steps there. >> and one thing here in your book out today and why this is so relevant to this entire discussion is what could have happened that day. and you kind of envisioned a scenario, what is the worst-case scenario of what could have happened that day? >> well, you know, regarding the

book, i love comic books and i love democracy, and our democracy remains at risk, and so a comic book seemed like a good way to reach a large audience with that message. in terms of what could have happened, you know, not much would have needed to have changed. you remember that the professor, pardon me, officer goodman led the mob away from the senate chamber. if they had turned right instead of left as they do in our graphic novel, we could have had a completely different scenario. if president trump had had the opportunity to declare martial law, to deputize the proud boys and the oath keepers as they were asking him to do, we could have found ourselves almost immediately in an authoritarian state. it's very scary, and a lot of those dangers still exist. >> you said copies, 150 members of congress? >> we sent copies to 150 election deniers of congress so they can grapple with the

we were here for the royal wedding in 2011, and we camped

out across the street, and so we're just back to do it again for -- i don't know when we'd ever get to do another coronation. >> so there you have it, this morning just one of many excited royal fans from around the world camped out ready for king charles iii's coronation tomorrow. police have deployed 29,000 officers to are prepare for one of their greatest ever security challenges, known as operation golden orb. they have firearms officers, dog handlers, mounted police, helicopters all in place to keep people safe including our own max foster. we want max to stay safe. he's live in london outside buckingham palace. a lot of excitement brewing. what's happening there on the ground? >> reporter: it's also to keep the crown jewels safe. they're never allowed out of the tower of london normally. they've got all these priceless, you know, ornaments really, which are part of a ceremony. and really an expression of the fact that this is not -- these aren't just historic items.

these are part of a working monarchy, so i think, you know, you might be pro-monarchy, you might be anti-monarchy, but one thing you are guaranteed of if you tune in tomorrow, it will be a spectacular show. we haven't seen anything like this for 70 years. for more than a thousand years, the coronation ceremony for english monarchs has remained largely unchanged. king charles will walk into westminster abbey in the foot steps of his ancestors. ancient symbols seized from scotland by king edward in the 13th century ask used coronations ever since brought to london for saturday's event. the palace says he also wants to reflect modern britain and look to the future. the challenge will be how to do both during a cost of living crisis. charles will be crowned with the st. edwards crown, the very same one placed upon previous

mon monarchs. crown jewels will feature including scepters, a golden orb, and various swords each with their own symbolism. he'll wear robes that are being passed down through the generations. the anointing, the most sacred spiritual part of the service will be hidden from view by a special screen, one of the only newly made pieces for the coronation because charles, who's always been known for his environmental campaigning has been keen to emphasize reuse. ♪ he'll be welcomed to the abbey first by a young chorus to whom he'll say i come not to be served but to serve. inclusivity is at the top of his agenda. the ceremony will be conducted by the archbishop of canterbury, the most senior member of the church of england after the king. >> it looks around at our society and seeks to reflect us as we are with joy and

celebration. >> reporter: for the first time, people of multiple faiths will have a role, even the pope is sent a gift. fragments believed to be of jesus's cross, which have been incorporated into this new one which will lead the coronation procession. symbols the new monarch hopes will be enough to reflect his continued relevance in a modern world while honoring sacred transformation. >> there will be a reception tonight at buckingham palace behind me. we think it will be the largest fae gathering of heads of state ever, certainly in the uk. >> wow, appreciate it. thank you and of course cnn's coverage of the coronation of king charles iii begins tomorrow morning at 5:00 eastern on cnn. >> set your alarms. also we are seeing newly released footage, you're going to want to see this. you haven't had an update on this case for a while. there are new court documents related to the murders of those four idaho college students. what we've learned ahead.

the date is critically important. it's october 14th. it is almost one month to the day when those murders happened, and so to see him and to hear him and the audio was really good. if we have any more of that, you know, i would love the audience to hear. >> i think you know why i stopped you. you ran the red light. >> what actually happened was i was stuck in the middle of the intersection. >> yeah, i was behind you the whole time. >> yeah. >> so technically you're not supposed to enter the intersection at all for that reason because if the light turns red then you're stuck in the intersection, then you run the red light. that's the reason i stopped you. >> i'm actually just from a very rural area, so we just don't have cross walks. unless i visit an area where there are cross walks, and then it's not very frequent. i do apologize if i was asking you too many questions. >> so you see him interacting very polite, very contrary to anything that happened one month later in that home.

documents were release. we want to show everybody they did testing on the scene for blood in that apartment, we knew they had found some reddish stains that had come out before, but if you look at the document that is to the left of the one that is bright and white, you will see that there is one line and one check mark that says positive, presumptively positive for blood. they found two stains that they believe could be blood. they did testing at the scene. one was a pillow that didn't have a pillow case. the oh ther was a mattress cove. when you do a presumptive test at the scene that denotes positivity for blood, then you have to go into the lab to do a conclusive test. affable they took those swabbings there. they went to the apartment. it's very obvious idaho was communicating with pennsylvania when they were making the arrest. idaho was flying in. they executed the search at the apartment, and they found a lot of things were just cleared out. they did collect things. the defense a few weeks later

went back with law enforcement. the defense collected even more things to put in their possession. >> wow. >> didn't know any of this before. >> it's also disturbing, especially as we're just learning more about this as this trial is obviously going to progress. keep us updated if anything else comes out. it is remarkable, like you said, to hear from him. >> yes, it is. so strange. >> and he has still pled not guilty. >> mm-hmm. jean, thank you. up next, cnn reporting on how russia is spoiling game changing u.s. made weapons in ukraine. also, take a look at this.
