>> he knew the significant information and he intended to use it for his own benefit. if half of what we've seen is true it's almost indefensible. >> these are serious allegations. >> we can't just deny what president trump was wrong. it's clear as day wrong. >> this is trump in true form. he says one thing to supporters and another thing privately. >> national security issues shouldn't be partisan. >> we have to take this seriously. >> had he not lied through his lawyers he wouldn't be in this situation. >> i do not feel comfortable with a convicted felon in the white house. good morning, everyone. we are so glad you are with us on quite a morning after a day that made history, the first time a former president has ever been arraigned on federal charges.
4:01 am
now it is the morning after and we see what is ahead. >> there's the political, the legal, and the fact and the lie. we'll go through all of that in the course of the next couple of hours. the former president wasted no time raising money after he became the first former president in u.s. history to be arrested on federal charges. just hours after he pleaded not guilty to 37 felony counts in miami he held a fund-raiser in new jersey and delivered a speech full of misleading and false claims including his dubious argument a president can take which ever documents he wants whenever he leaves office. >> threatening me with 400 years in prison for possessing my own presidential papers which just about every other president has done is one of the most outrageous legal theories put
4:02 am
forward in an american court of law. whatever documents the president decides to take with him, he has the right to do so. it's an absolute right this is the law. >> federal prosecutors say trump hoarded classified documents containing some of america's most closely guarded secrets and allegedly stored them in places like his bedroom and a bathroom and showed them to people without security clearance. president biden has refused to comment on his indictment or arrest and again refused yesterday. >> would you comment on the arrest of the former president, sir? >> no. >> we have team coverage at the courthouse in miami. sara murray, laura coates and
4:03 am
shelby talcott are here. you were there with the rooster yesterday morning. i'm sure they're greeting you again this morning. talk about what happened and what you saw in the courtroom because no cameras so we can't see his demeanor. >> reporter: that's right. about 50 minutes inside the courtroom. i had a clear view of donald trump and he sat beneath a light that lit him up, his hair was quite bright, wearing a brighter navy suit but he was slumped over. when the judge took the bench he was lagging to stand whenever you're supposed to rise when the judge says all rise and most of the proceeding he sat with his arms crossed, sat back with a feeling of indignation or some sort of frustration with the proceeding occasionally whispering to his attorney.
4:04 am
he did not speak once in this proceeding. unusual for a federal court arraignment like this. the judge asked him no direct questions, referred to him as the former president throughout the proceeding and his lawyer spoke on his behalf and said to the court that he enters a plea of not guilty at this time. jack smith was also in the room. this alcoholism ps of smith and really the first time these two men have ever been in the same room like this. really all of these things coming together mark how significant this is, that donald trump is being placed under arrest for federal charges and is being told these are your charges and you now must abide by the court's rules as you fight these, as you say you will as it goes to trial. >> some of those rules and
4:05 am
restrictions but the fact the president's alleged co-conspirator was not arraigned yesterday. what actually happens next here? how does this move forward? >> reporter: the next thing on the calendar now is the walt nauta, trump's co-defendant, the man accused of moving boxes on his behalf around mar-a-lago to avoid the justice department finding them. nauta has to come back in about two weeks or enter an appearance in some way saying that he will be pleading not guilty at this time. the reasonable he didn't right now is because he didn't have a lawyer in florida yet to represent him. he does have a lawyer who has represented him but moving forward in this particular system. the two men, one of the restrictions they walk out of court with and one of the things that is -- one of the first issues that trump's side took issue with is a decision by the judge to put over this case the
4:06 am
order that both donald trump and walt nauta cannot be speaking to any other witnesses or one another about the facts of the case. that will be difficult because he has people in his employment including nauta himself. >> fascinating dynamic. katelyn, thank you. >> he's using this for politics to try to boost support, boost campaign donations. what was it like last night? >> reporter: there were a few things i took away from his speech. the well-worn playbook we've seen him use time and time again in these situations. he called the charges political and they amounted to election interference and claimed he was entitled to taking these
4:07 am
documents with him and others were not prosecuted for doing the same thing. of course the prosecutors in the case argue that's not true, that he kept some of the nation's most sensitive documents and his unwillingness to hand them over amounts to obstruction. the second thing was his tone. he was surrounded by his most sympathetic supporters and fiercest allies. the type of environment to give off the public image that he's pushing back. he did sound angry and something his advisers picked up on. he did not linger after his remarks. he pretty immediately left the outdoor area and went back inside. the substance. my colleague and i spoke with some donald trump allies prior to his speech and they told us
4:08 am
they were hoping to be more forward look ing but he did ver little of that. he spent the majority of his roughly 30 minutes railing against his opponent and he also went after special counsel jack smith. that's something i know his advisers urged him against doing. he did that anyway. >> alayna treene, we will check back. >> some of the potential defenses and tactics the legal team could use in his case. among them is his, and i stress his, interpretation of the presidential records act which he invoked last night. >> under the presidential records act which is civil not criminal, i had every right to have these documents. the crucial legal precedent is laid out in the most important case ever on this subject known
4:09 am
as the clinton socks case. >> the actual name of the case -- >> no, i don't think that was it. it's good short hand, though. for those who don't know and i don't blame you if you don't, the reference is a case involving former president bill clinton. a historian recorded audio with clinton during his time in the white house and sold gq they stashed the audio cassettes in his sock drawer. a nonprofit sued for access to those tapes arguing they included classified information but lost the case because the judge ruled the presidential records act does not confer any mandatory or discretional authority on the archivist. this responsibility is left solely to the president. trump and his allies are trying to use that ruling to his advantage. joining us now to discuss are cnn legal analyst laura coates
4:10 am
and bradley moss. bradley, my understanding this is not a great defense and what's cited isn't very relevant, but can you walk through the comparison to the clinton case and whether it works or doesn't as a defense? >> it has no comparison to the present situation, so what happened in the, quote, unquote, sock case, they made these audio tapes and fell within the definition of personal records under the presidential records act. they were never ever designated as anything other than personal records and he took them with him after he left the white house. judicial watch, the nonprofit, sued to try to get a judge to order the national archives, the archivist at the archives, to challenge that designation and the judge said the law doesn't give me the authority to make the archivist do this.
4:11 am
the archivist could have brought a challenge, civil action, but i can't make them do so. it has nothing, nothing, no way, shape or form, nothing, to do with what we are talking about. the records at issue in the indictment were originally agency records and became presidential records when they were sent to donald trump in the white house. they were always presidential records. they were always classified and always qualified as national defense information. when he left the white house under the presidential records act he was supposed to let the archivist take control of that. he was not supposed to walk off with them and he couldn't keep them in mar-a-lago in any of the various unsecured locations that were listed in the indictment. his team will try to raise this case in pretrial motions. it will fail. >> they certainly will. we heard it, i believe byron donald brought it up in the interview with phil. ellie, to you. i think the reason many defendants of the president are
4:12 am
clinging to the words of judge jackson when she said this is left solely to the president. ultimately the tapes were viewed as an audio form of a personal diary but can you explain why her words in this decision do not hold water as bradley was just saying in this case? >> let me try to simplify presidential records. generally all presidential records will fall in one or two categories. sensitive documents and the other, to use your phrase earlier today, chatzkys. >> the latin term. >> personal belongings, souvenirs. >> but judicial watch said clinton talked about things that were security related and classified on the tapes. >> the way it works the archives gets it presumptively. and then if the president or former president can establish that they are personal, that they're not related to anything government related then the
4:13 am
president gets to keep those records. so there's a process. the president has to go through it. archives and the presidents agree on what gets to come and go. this is the opposite of that. donald trump took them all for himself and said i get to decide. the archives gets to decide as a result of that long process. >> every court case has to do with what is the question before the court? it's not let's have a general esoteric debate. what is the question you're asking? what is the prayer for relief as they call it. it was the idea of i'd like you to make an entity do something. i would like you to make them enforce their own laws in some way or own statute and that's the courts dealing with that issue. the analogy regarding the clintons, bill or hillary clinton, will keep coming up for this very reason. it's about the substance of the information where you find the analogy, classified or sensitive material, but this case before
4:14 am
trump is about the tangible documents, one. remember, the hillary clinton email discussions is about classified information contained within without the headings or actual documents and perhaps, most importantly, the core of this indictment has to do with obstruction and willful retention of documents and c cons conspiracy. that's where this meets a fork in the road that goes towards the prosecution where the analogy is no longer apropos. >> that ties into what i wanted to ask bradley about. the president is fixated on the idea, and his defenders, of the espionage act. i don't want to say the president is spying on anybody. that is not the definition of the espionage act. can you explain not the full history of the espionage act but what is utilized here and why it's important to understand that detail? >> so it's a horribly named statute in this context, and it predates the modern classification regime and what
4:15 am
we think of. the espionage act came out of world war i. it encompasses a number of things. one is what you typically think of with spying, selling documents, spying for a foreign government, things along those lines. but it encompasses a number of other potential felony provisions one of which is at issue here which is the willful retention of national defense information, meaning you knew you had it and you knew it qualified as national defense information and the failure to return it to the proper u.s. government authorities. that is what alleged, no allegation in the charges that he has sold or disseminated the national defense information that he has sold or given to somebody else. there's factual issues about how he knew it was still classified because he was talking about it with other people on the audio tapes, but they have not charged him with dissemination, just willful retention. >> it's an important context. bradley, thanks so much. trump's 2024 rivals divided on how to respond to his federal

charges. now mike pence says he cannot defend his former boss. >> president biden appears to want little to do or nothing to do with it and are keeping quiet about this historic indictment. new science shows it gets in between teeth to destroy 5x more plaque above the gumlinine than floss. for a cleaner, healthier mouth. listerine.e. feel the whoa! we definitely have ants in here. not for long.

4:20 am
welcome back. first lady jill biden ramping up criticism of republicans at two democratic fund-raisers in the bay area warning of what would happen if, quote, maga republicans win calling 2024 the most important election of our lives. significant that she went this far? >> reporter: well, poppy, there's this tale of two biden approaches that is playing out at this moment surrounding the indictment of former president donald trump. the white house has really maintained a deliberate stay silent strategy. you don't see the campaign or the democratic national committee fund-raising off of this event and aides say that is all by design. behind the scenes they don't want to provide any further fodder to former president trump
4:21 am
and his accusations of these investigations politically motivated why you have repeatedly heard president biden saying he is is not commenting on this matter including last night in an exchange with our colleague jeremy diamond. >> would you comment on the arrest of the former president, sir? >> no. >> reporter: one biden is speaking out and that is the first lady. you've heard her repeatedly in these democratic fund-raisers talk about the former president, specifically in new york city she expressed shock that many in the republican party are still supporting trump despite the indictments and yesterday in the bay area tried to present this election as a choice between what she described as the chaos and corruption of the trump administration. we cannot go back to those dark days.
4:22 am
you know what's in store if these maga republicans win. we know it because we lived it. remember how hard it was last time? this time it will be even harder. these comments came in a fund-raiser where cameras were off. the venues give politicians a chance to speak more freely. the role the first lady could play heading into a campaign as she has shown a willingness to take on the former president at a time the white house is staying silent. >> we always find out what they say. >> the president in fund-raisers where there are no cameras you learn more about what he's thinking and doing and arlette has covered him for as long as she has. hi, buddy. thanks, arlette. >> reporter: hey. >> thanks, arlette. >> that's my day job, guys. the president attacking the
4:23 am
special counsel. take a listen. >> this is called election interference and an attempt to rig and steal an election, a political persecution like something straight out of a fascist or communist nation. >> not only are you extremely involved in the reporting on the case, you covered his campaign every single day and survived. what's your take away after hearing that response? >> it's a loser of a message to say i took these documents with me and that's that. it's you versus me mentality. we've seen that over and over again in his speeches. it is remarkable they settled on this as an election
4:24 am
interference. jack smith focuses on the peaceful transfer of power. i think from a political messaging standpoint it opens up the question of these other things that are going on. >> the argument about you can't do this, this is election interference. it could bump up to the key points in the election and he has to be in the courtroom. >> there is no evidence to support the claim this prosecution is political in any way. there's nothing to connect this to the white house. byron donald came on and said twice this had to be approved by the white house counsel.
4:25 am
that's fabricated. if it did happen, let's see the proof. there's nothing that links this to anything political. i have to criticize all three prosecutors. by taking as long as they've taken they've contributed to this situation. he can say they're lobbing charges only after i've announced my candidacy and the trial will land in 2024. >> we'll see what happens. >> she's the slowest of all. >> this could count against him for that very reason jack smith and team could go in and say we are anticipating this could be removal for 21 days and stand ready to try the case. it's going to be unrealistic but
4:26 am
this will be the onus on trump to say why he can't be ready. >> isn't deference given to defendant counsel to have time to get ready so delay, delay, delay could be successful. >> when jack smith said we're ready at trial, we are trained. that's the only thing up ever say. you never say, judge, we need more time as a prosecutor. the speedy trial is for the defendant. and the person who sets the trial date is the judge. of course donald trump's team will try to delay. all those issues that we just talked about challenging the search warrant, evan corcoran's statements, those all have to be litigated. people say will this get in before the 2024 election, we don't know.
4:27 am
>> i've been thinking about this, as i often do. look at the reaction with e. jean carroll. he bank rolled off of it. there is something to be said, the jury pool in west palm beach versus one in washington, d.c. if you believe that an acquittal or a hung jury is in your future and have another instance to campaign off of or demonstrate this is a political witch-hunt. as an attorney i would counsel to elongate this calendar. but if there is some delusion that there is a guarantee, which is never the case, of an acquittal or guilty verdict, i bet that's factoring in to figure out when the calendar and the speed of trial would be. >> i've been thinking about you thinking about this because i try to draft off whatever you
4:28 am
say and co-opt it and use it as mine. how the political element fits into this is very important. i want to play what nikki haley, one of the republican primary candidates, said about this yesterday. take a listen. >> when you look at a pardon, the issue is less about guilt and more about what's good for the country and i think it would be terrible to have a former president in prison for years because of a documents case. nationss. i would be in favor of a pardon. >> how the legal and political mesh together. what was your thought process when you heard what the ambassador said? >> i thought it was interesting she was going so far as to say she would pardon trump.

>> it's all about permission. whether people have the permission to use their voice or likeness if you're working collaboratively. now obviously it's hard when someone is deceased to go back and get their permission. it's band members and close colleagues and friends. beatles fans will be excited. this will be their last album. to paul mccartney's point there could be a down side if somebody who wasn't doing this with consent was trying to put out another beatles album. >> laura, who owns the voice then? who owns the john lennon ai voice? >> that's the next frontier of all of this, right? ai would be hard pressed, i'm
4:36 am
the walrus, good luck, ai on that. you have no idea what my play list is. you don't even know. i can do a thing all day. >> this is going to work against twhu it takes over the world. >> you're right. i'm just kidding. the idea of intellectual property you're so right about this. one thing if it's a tongue-in-cheek or at the permission of somebody but what about the estate of somebody not giving the permission, whose voice is being used for a track, for a collaborative effort they do not want to have there. you can say it's not your voice. it's your likeness. there are laws to protect that sort of thing. they have not caught up with ai by any stretch. congress hard pressed to be able to be at the forefront of advancement for technology, to be able to figure out do you regulate it or do you regulate the behavior itself, or do you regulate the ability to use it in the first instance? elon musk, steve wozniak came
4:37 am
out with a letter to talk about the challenges of ai but in the form of creative expression it's incredible to think about being able to re-create something like this in this fashion. there have to be guardrails. >> i think the risks, the same day this story is coming out there's a hearing, holding a hearing on artificial intelligence and human rights on tuesday. lawmakers heard from a woman who was the victim of a deep fake kidnapping extortion scam. the plot was exposed by the police. told her nothing they could do because no real crime was committed. listen to what she told the committee. >> i will never be able to shake that voice and the desperate cries for help out of my mind. everyone parent's worst nightmare to hear your child pleading with fear and pain and are being harmed and you're helpless. the longer this remains unpunishable, the more egregious it will become. there is no limit to the depth
4:38 am
of evil ai can enable. >> laura makes a great point. lawmakers are not on the forefront. they're behind just about everybody else. what can be done? >> in the social media era, lawmakers were so slow, phil, to get on top of this. at least now we are not even a year into the generative ai and lawmakers are doing educational hearings, so that gives me a little bit of optimism. they can do transparency efforts, people need to be creative about how they're programming it. disclosure hearings where people need to disclose the tools they're using to train their programs. there are things they can pass. congress is gridlocked but this is an issue there is bipartisan support. i think a lot of these issues will get litigated in courts. you'll have people who will go and sue different companies because their name, image and
4:39 am
likeness are being used in ways they didn't give permission or are being scammed and the court will have to interpret where our current laws stand to adhere to ai. >> we're out of time. >> she's optimistic about congress, i want the record to reflect. >> he looked at me because i had another question but ill ask you next time. >> guys, thank you so much. republican senator j.d. vance says he will hold the judicial nominees up indefinitely because of the trump indictment. the impact and reaction ahead. ...you deseserve a little me time. with 24 trusted brands by wyndham to choosese from, your wyndham is waiting. get the lowest price at wyndhamhotels.com hey all, so i just downloadaded the experian app because i wanted to check my fico® score, but it does so much more. this thing shows you your fico® score, you can get your credit car, and it shows you wa to save money. do so much more an get your fico® score. download the experian app now.

j.d. vance is vowing to block all of president biden's justice department nominees in protest of former president trump's indictment. >> and donald trump will be put in prison for the rest of his life. that's what they're trying to do for declassifying documents as he has the constitutional authority to do. it's crazy and we cannot continue to give the department of justice free rein to set themselves loose. >> funding. >> unlimited resources and unlimited personnel. we can effectively grind the appointments process to a halt. why don't we do it? the american people expect it of us. >> live on capitol hill this morning, i want to deconstruct that entire statement based on the difference between nominations and appropriations and actual funding and funding levels. >> but we don't have all day.
4:44 am
>> people will be mad at me. what kind of impact tangibly will this have, this threat? >> reporter: well, he's arguing he could grind this nomination process to a halt, but the reality, phil, as you know, is that he can really only slow it down. he does not have the power as one senator to block nominees forever. instead, what he can do is force senate leaders to burn valuable time on the senate floor. usually you can fast track a nomination if you have agreement from all 100 senators. all jd vance is saying they no longer are going to have his agreement. it's important to note there are only currently two nominees in the pipeline so that gives you a sense that even if you have to burn all of your time for those nominees that's probably two weeks on the senate floor, phil, so not a considerable amount of time. juxtapose that to the hold tommy tuberville has on all pentagon
4:45 am
nominees and those promotions, that's 250 people waiting in the pipeline. if you were to put those on the floor you would burn through considerable amounts of time and typically are not controversial. that's the difference between what we're seeing from tommy tuberville when it comes to pentagon promotions and what you're seeing here in jd vance's statement. this is part of a much broader effort to push back on the indictment against former president trump and democrats are arguing it is a political move. here is dick durbin in the senate. >> if you're in favor of law enforcement and the administration of justice not filling vacancies of judges doesn't help at all. it's very transparent that this is a political reaction to the arraignment of the former president. >> reporter: and over in the house of representatives there's even more actions being taken. a lot of republicans calling to defund the special counsel's
4:46 am
office, other calls to defund a new fbi building. so that process on the appropriations side will take place in the house. we should note the house can do what they want in their chamber once it goes to the senate which democrats control, that has no chance of passing. >> this is why i always text lauren. she makes me smarter and contextualizes things, what matters. >> this is true. and then i ask her how her luka is and tell her how mine is. >> reporter: anytime. i'll talk about my luka anytime. >> thank you. thank you, lauren. let's open this up. guys, what do you make of this? sara, making a statement the jd vance and tuberville is more consequential. >> the reason jd vance is where he is today is because of donald trump's endorsement. >> that's right. >> i don't think it's such a surprise to see he would be one of the people who is not only out there vocally supporting donald trump but willing to make some sort of show about how he's doing it.
4:47 am
i think what's been more striking to me is to hear some of the reservations that have begun to emerge from some members of donald trump's own party over the last day or so as people start to get more in the weeds of what they're learning in this indictment. >> i think to add to that trump's team is keeping an eye on who is saying what, who is supporting him. they told us last night as much that he keeps track of it but so do they. that's notable because some of these lawmakers have -- trump has such a hold on them and it's understandable in some way that they feel kind of obligated almost to defend him in this way. it's representative of congress as a whole on the republican side this faction of the party so tied to donald trump because they feel they owe him their success in a way.

focused on the mental health side of things and said that schools need to do better and communities need to do better in building resilient students who don't reach a crisis point, they are able to kind of handle the challenges they face before they have an outburst of any sort. they are going to keep doing this. it will be interesting to see -- >> yeah, set the baseline. >> does the quality of teaching up prove according to the students. >> do the schools get to know how they were graded by their students? >> this is a massive survey, nationwide. it was 12 to 25-year-olds. but they focused on 12 to 18 for the schools. more than 2,000 responses. they didn't break it down for us on an individual basis. an overall picture, b minute minus, blasé is another word she used. >> first of all, next year they have to feed them sweets before they take the survey. that's the key. but i remember my son is only 10

(wheezing) asthma isn't pretty. it's the moment when you realize that a good day... is about to become a bad one. but then, i remembered that the world is so much bigger than that, with trelegy. because one dose a day helps keep my asthma symptoms under control. and with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler, trelegy helps improve lung function so i can breathe easier for a full 24 hours. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. trelegy contains a medicine that increases risk of hospitalizations and death from asthma problems when used alone. when this medicine is used with an inhaled corticosteroid, like in trelegy, there is not a significant increased risk of these events. do not take trelegy more than prescribed.
