records and began to revitalize his career. it was then he discovered a new audience, the mtv generation. >> look, it's tony bennett. >> hey, good to see you. >> i had the sense -- we had did a commercial for mtv and they liked it so much they gave me an unplugged special and it won album of the year. ♪ sflie me to the moon ♪ >> reporter: bennett went to collaborate with singers like amy winehouse and lady gaga for "the lady and tramp." ♪ i never bother with people that i hate ♪ >> reporter: at 85 he became the oldest living artist who hit number one on the billboard 200 chart with his "due wets 2" album. several years later he toured with lady gaga to promote their album "cheek to cheek" yet bennett's talent went beyond singing. he was an accomplished painter with artwork at the smith stonian. >> i have always known what i wanted to do.

me ♪ >> it was such a show and such a life. tony bennett. stephanie elam for us. joining us for more on this is cnn's chloe melas. chloe, you had the opportunity to interview and speak with tony bennett on his 90th birthday. stephanie did an amazing job right there laying out the extraordinary career and the life of that man and the number of generations that he has hit, the legacy who he is behind. >> i mean, he's right up there with frank sinatra and the greatest singers of all time and performers and, yes, i was at his birthday covering for cnn that unbelievable night at the rainbow room and an iconic venue

for an iconic human being, and i asked him how does it feel to turn 90? this was several years before his alzheimer's diagnosis. and i want to read you some of what tony told me that night. he said, life goes fast. it goes fast. i'm 90, but i still feel like i'm about 35 years old. the audience has always made me feel accepted. i've been sold out throughout my whole life, performing throughout the world. it's a great gift and i'm very honored to have had a great life entertaining people. and lady gaga was there that night, john travolta, katie couric, regis philbin, i mean, the list goes on and on. i just remember how kind he was and obviously being able to see him perform and all of the younger generation that got to know his music because of the albums and the tour that he did with lady gaga. i've reached out to her for a

comment and we are waiting to hear back. obviously a devastating blow. she gave an interview about a year or so ago after his alzheimer's diagnosis was made public and she just said it was devastating to watch him go through this. you heard anderson cooper just a little bit ago talking about spending time with tony and interviewing him for "60 minutes" and how hard it was to see him go through that, but then on the other hand he could remember the music and he could perform and it was just spectacular what his mind was still capable of being able to do. then obviously this is a massive blow to the music community and to all the people all over the world who have loved tony and have had the pleasure of enjoying his music over the last several decades. >> and, chloe, talk to us a bit more about that, the generations that you talk about that have grown to love tony. we heard in that piece him say that his shows have remained sold out throughout his dreer career. it's the type of career and success that i think most

artists would kill more. talk to us a little bit about what you think really resonated with the audience. >> i mean, first of all, is the fact that his music has spanned 70 years, right? so all of the generations that have grown up or have enjoyed tony bennett at one place or another, whether it's a wedding or a birthday party, where you have listened to tony bennett's music, he's just one of those artists, like frank sinatra, that when you hear it you know that's tony bennett. just to point out, he had his first number one single in 1951 with "because of you" and he made music industry history by being the oldest performer twice to have a number one album on the billboard 200 list at the age of 85 and 86. if that doesn't motivate you to just keep going, he received 20 grammy awards including the grammy lifetime achievement award, two emmy awards, was named a kennedy center honoree.

the list goes on and on. like anderson cooper was saying a bit ago, he served as a foot soldier in world war ii and he became a life-long pacifist and a humanitarian. he marched with dr. martin luther king in selma, alabama, in 1965. a very big supporter of human rights for everyone and so, you know, his publicist confirming this morning to cnn that he passed away at the age of 96 at his home, surrounded by his family. he is survived by his two sons and his daughters. he has nine grandchildren. he's lived a full life. you know, not many people can say that they've lived such a life like tony bennett. >> i think it says a lot that when you spoke to him at his 90th birthday as you said he said i feel 35. i think that was clearly reflected in the life he lived. >> may we always remain 35. >> touché. >> one thing this is also just an important opportunity to

highlight how tony bennett -- and in celebrating his long life and career and legacy, just what he and his family kind of did and represented for all of the families who suffer from the devastating disease of alzheimer's. when he and his wife came out publicly to reveal and talk about the alzheimer's diagnosis, i think it was back in 2016 and just seeing how he carried on. even as anderson had highlighted in his "60 minutes" piece and was just talking b even with the struggles of it and seeing the damage that it does and how it robs you of some of your life's memories, how he continued and how important it was for his family to do that. it's a -- it's beautiful what he did and important what he and his family and his doctors kind of represent for all of those families fighting against alzheimer's. >> yes, and the fact that they came out publicly, his wife susan speaking to aarp, kate,

and talking about this not that long ago. they have been very public in a very short amount of time since his diagnosis and like lady gaga and anderson cooper and others have said, just, you know, this disease that at times can be mystifying, he might not know your name in some foemts, but he can go up on stage and perform songs that are decades old alongside lady gaga to a packed house. so i think perseverance, the will to live, his pure talent and i think, yes, his openness from his family and himself to share this, to let people know that they are not alone and that, you know, they have been advocates for this and, yes, he was diagnosed in 2016 with alzheimer's and i think that them being public with his struggle helped a lot of people, kate. >> yeah. i mean, an extraordinary life. a beautiful man. a legend in the music industry. >> in so many ways. >> in so many situation.

investigation widely expected to bring donald trump's third indictment is pressing forward with more witness interviews now scheduled. sources say a key trump ally and a former trump lawyer will soon speak with federal investigators. overnight trump's deadline to respond to the special counsel's target letter expired. while trump the target apparently isn't interested in talking right now, trump the candidate still is. >> all of a sudden i hear they want to indict me in this one, and why didn't they do it two years ago? why didn't they do it like when it would -- would have been, you know, timely? >> cnn's alayna treene joins us just down the road from trump's golf club in bedminster. while trump questions the timing of all of this what are you learning about how his team is preparing for a possible third indictment? >> reporter: good morning, rahel. yes, donald trump's team very much expects an indictment in

this case to be delivered imminently. they have spent the last several days now calling aides and allies as well as lawyers and trying to get a better picture of the potential criminal case that will be brought against him. they have a few key questions, one, they want to know if anyone else has received a target letter in this investigation. they also want to gain a better understanding of the scope of the evidence that the special counsel's team has against him. third, they are trying to figure out who in trump's inter circle may be cooperating with the special counsel's team. donald trump has also been keeping it business as usual. he held a screening at his golf club just near where i am now on wednesday night where some of his closest aides as well as his fiercest allies including people like steve bannon who is also caught up in a january 6 investigation. now, trump has also been giving interviews, we heard him speak last night with news max where he continued to rail against these charges as being political. let's listen to that exchange, rahel.

>> very unfair situation. they did it because it's election interference. they did it right in the middle of my campaign. >> reporter: now, rahel, as you can see donald trump is still being very defiant in public, but i know from speaking with many people close to him over the past several days that these charges are weighing on him. this target letter is also weighing on him, especially as this potential third indictment is looming. >> right. it could come any day down. alaina, what more are we learning about who the special counsel still has to interview? >> reporter: well, rahel, we do know that investigators are moving very quickly on a number of different fronts, but their work has not yet been completed. my colleagues paula reid and katelyn polantz as well as others on our team have learned that for weeks now, even before they sent that target letter to donald trump on sunday, they have been reaching out to witnesses and scheduling interviews with people that they have not even spoken to yet in this case. this is similar to how they treated the classified documents

case in which the former president and his aide walt nauta were indicted on last month. even though they brought that indictment they still have their work to be completed. we're hearing some of these interviews are scheduled to continue throughout the summer. some of those interviews include with people like a former donald trump lawyer as well as the former new york police commissioner bernie kerik, he is someone who worked closely with rudy giuliani in and around the election. so even if there is an indictment in this case their work is still going to continue, rahel. >> alayna treene in bridgewater, thank you. joining us right now for more is former federal prosecutor danya perry. good to see you. let's start with the calendar. i know that you've said you think an indictment is going to be coming next week, this third criminal indictment, but when you look then if you move forward from that, how do you think the calendar then lines up and the complications that come with it? you've got multiple indictments,

the possibility of more charges coming in fulton county, georgia, and adding in the very real thing of the political calendar at the very same time. how do you handle that as a prosecutor? >> yeah, this is a complicated one. courts and prosecutors and defense lawyers are used to conflicting schedules, of course, and defendants can be very busy, they can be very wealthy, they, you know, can have other -- other trials, but this one obviously there is an intersection between our criminal justice systems and our political system, that is, of course, unique. so the prosecutors have been pushing for quick trials. we've seen that in the mar-a-lago case where they're requesting a trial later this year. but of course there are already some cases that are already on the docket. we've got a trial in new york, the civil trial brought by the attorney general in new york.

that is slated for later this year. and then we've got the criminal case out of the district attorney's office in new york in early next year, in march. and then there are a couple civil trials in between. so there is going to be some pairying and some discussions i imagine between judges' chambers about exactly how to sequence these and how to prioritize these. it's certainly a unique -- as we s say, a generous situation. >> some of the reporting that cnn is reporting is there are at least two more people that the special counsel wants to speak to and interview, those interviews scheduled into august. what does that indicate to you in terms of where they are? >> i don't read too much into that. it does appear given the witnesses who have already come in and given most importantly the target letter that was just issued earlier this week that

charges are coming shortly. there is almost zero chance, i think at this point, that an indictment will not follow. and follow quickly. so the grand jury, however, can continue with its work. it has additional evidence it can receive, it will take the testimony of additional witnesses and that could be because they could be exploring additional charges and perhaps at a later super seeding indictment or they could be looking at charges against additional defendants. that would kind of make sense because i'm imagining that special counsel jack smith will want to get the indictment against mr. trump issued as quickly as possible for the reasons we said, to try to slot in on the very complicated trial schedule docket, and he might later bring cases against additional other defendants because he has plenty of time under the statute of limitations. >> danya, the target letter, while trump received it sunday, the target letter was revealed

publicly tuesday by donald trump. how would you describe everything that has happened and how much has changed for donald trump's legal troubles in this -- in this, you know, one week as we look back on friday? >> i guess i would say they've tripled. he already has two pending criminal cases against him. this one, you know, many people would argue is the most significant. the one that speaks to the most profound injury to this country and to its citizens. it certainly has changed the landscape for him tremendously. of course, we also keep hearing reports of another indictment that perhaps will be coming shortly from the fulton county district attorney's office, along the same lines. also exploring various schemes

with respect to january 6th and the events leading up to it. so he's got a lot on his plate, several civil cases. i actually have a case against him, i'm representing michael cohen in the $500 million fraud case that mr. trump brought against mr. cohen. just yesterday we had his deposition scheduled within the next 45 days. i think mindful of all of these calendaring issues. we're trying to get him sooner rather than later. he's going to have a busy summer, fall, winter and on. >> danya perry, thank you so much. rahel? all right. kate, coming up for us, for a fourth straight day russia launches air strikes against the city of odesa. now the cia is warning of a false flag operation. we are live on the ground in ukraine coming up. ♪ when bucket lists need checking... points need redeeming... work tririps need crushing... or anniversaries need... celebrating?

welcome back. for the fourth night in a row russia has bombarded odesa with an onslaught of missiles, attacks destroying tons of food crucial to people in developing nations. what you hear there, air raid eye reince, they've been blaring all through the night. russia launched seven missiles this morning hitting what ukrainians are calling an important infrastructure facility. these attacks are something that ukraine officials say are undoubtedly related to russia withdrawing from the grain deal. on monday russia pulled out of the critical agreement which kept ukrainian grain exports in the black sea safe. since then russia has relentlessly attacked odesa

destroying tons of crop. alex marquardt joins us from ukraine. i've been talking to you since the weekend you've been in ukraine. tell us what is the latest now. >> reporter: rahel, in this latest set of strikes more than 120 food products -- 120 tons, i should say, of different kinds of food destroyed in this series of strikes taking place earlier today. ukrainian authorities saying an infrastructure facility was hit, that's essentially a storage facility, this is not in odesa city proper but in the odesa region southwest of the city. we were up all night in odesa waiting to see whether there would be a fourth night of strikes after three incredibly intense nights. we didn't hear anything ourselves, we did hear some air raid sirens but none of those impacts the russians appearing to be shifting tactics not attacking the city itself but firing several different types

of cruise missiles at this infrastructure facility as they called t ukrainian officials continuing to say that russia is trying to weaponize hunger here after pulling out of this grain deal. russia has said that they are retaliating in their own words they are responding to the ukrainian attack on the kerch bridge earlier in the week, but if you take a step back and look at what russia might be trying to do here, rahel, this is certainly a major piece of leverage that they have over ukraine and the world. if they can start to get ukraine to hurt by hitting their food supplies, by damaging ukrainian economy, if they can start to drive up food prices in the world and reduce food supply for so much of the global south, they do have a significant amount of leverage with which to ask western countries to give them some sanctions relief, to give them some concessions. so this may be what russia is trying to do when ukraine and the west accuse them of

weaponizing hunger. rahel. >> alex, it's a great point. ukraine is the bread basket of the world. in taking this action as you pointed out, i mean, it could create an impact in food prices around the world but also developing countries around the world. alex marquardt live in kyiv. thank you. there's also a new warning about all of this from the cia director. bill burns saying that russia may be preparing a false flag attack on vessels in the black sea. and the spokesman for the national security council is warning that russia could be looking to target civilian ships and also blame it on ukraine. russia's ambassador to the u.s. not surprisingly calling it pure fabrication. cnn's natasha bertrand is at the pentagon and has more on this. tell us what you are learning. i mean, hearing bill burns say this publicly is always noteworthy when it's coming from the cia director. what more are you learning about this? >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. this is part of a coordinated kind of messaging campaign that we have heard from u.s. officials in recent days, really

warning that the russians might step up their attacks on civilian ships in the black sea ever since of course russia pulled out of its black sea grain deal which of course allowed for the safe passage of ships in the black sea so that these ships could actually get grain out of the ukrainian ports. now we're hearing from the cia director that they have intelligence that russia may be preparing to attack these ships in the black sea and trying to frame the ukrainians for t in other words, it would be a false flag operation, something that the united states and western allies have actually repeatedly accused of russia of planning in various ways to try to frame the ukrainians for various attacks throughout the country to try to make it seem as though they are the aggressors. here is what bill burns said at the aspen security forum last night. >> we see some very concerning signs of the russians considering the kind of false flag operations that, you know, we highlighted in the rent up to the war as well. in other words, looking at ways

in which, you know, they might make attacks against shipping and the black sea and blaming it or trying to blame it on the ukrainians. >> reporter: now, as you mentioned, kate, russia's ambassador to the u.s. has called this a, quote, pure fabrication, but the russians have warned the ukrainians that any ship passing through the black sea will be assumed to be carrying military cargo and the ukrainians have said as well that they could target russian ships. so obviously things really heating up here in the black sea ever since that deal fell apart, kate. >> absolutely. natasha, thanks so much for the reporting. rahel? coming up for us, what house speaker kevin mccarthy hold a vote to ex bung donald trump's impeachments? how he's responding coming up next. ay's now slicing their meats fresh. that's why soccer pros like me profer the grand slam ham. and this rookie pro... profers fresh sliced turkey. and if we profer it, we know you'll prefer it too. glad you made e the cut. you u mean slice? seriously? i remember when i first started flying,

and we have some breaking news coming in. the trial date for donald trump's classified documents case has been set. let's get straight over to cnn's katelyn polantz for the details on this. kate when is it going to happen? >> reporter: kate, the judge just put her order in. judge aileen cannon said this trial should take place at the end of may next year, right in the heart of the political calendar. of course, that is not what she's considering here. she's considering what has to happen in court for donald trump to go to trial and his co-defendant, too, walt nauta, for them to go to trial on this case, the retention of classified records that they are accused of, 31 documents donald trump is charged with holding illegally after the presidency. he has pleaded not guilty to that. then there's also an obstruction

of justice part of this case that false statement claims, claims that walt nauta was directed by trump to move boxes to hide them from the federal government so that they couldn't get classified records back in their possession. so a lot of different legal issues here that they're going to have to work through. the judge is acknowledging that. she's not doing what the justice department wanted, which was a december trial date, but she also says there's no way i'm going to do what donald trump wanted to do here, which was not even put a date on the calendar. he wanted to essentially postpone even having a trial date set until after the election. >> it seems that she is kind of trying to at least in her view split the -- split what the desires are here. december as she's laying out is just -- is too aggressive to imagine, but then -- but indefinite -- an indefinite delay she thinks is completely

unreasonable. >> reporter: yeah. >> tell me about the why about this and could this date move still and yet again? >> reporter: yeah, so, kate, trial dates they do move. the question now for us to watch is how firm this trial date will be. both sides can try to push it further from that, but this starting point right now it is a judge's order that we do have a trial date for late may. she gives a little bit of an indication of why may, right, that's going to be a big question. it's about a year from the moment that trump was indicted alongside nauta, which was june 8th. so the end of may really is a year timeline. that's pretty reasonable in a lot of court cases. this case, she says, is complex. that was something the justice department didn't want her to find for legal reasons, but she is saying it is indeed complex. and she also is saying that, you know, she doesn't want to do what trump said. she wants to put a date on the calendar because she deems it necessary to manage this proceeding through the important stages.

discovery, so that's turning over evidence, making sure there's the handling of classified records that's appropriate, motions which is the arguments on both sides. she wants to make sure that lead up takes place in a reasonable amount of time for both sides. and then on the other side of things, she says that the -- what the justice department wanted to do, have this trial start in december, was atypically accelerated and she did not think that that would allow for fair trial or even give the justice department time to make sure they knew that they had met everything they needed to do. so there's a lot of things that will take place between now and may, she lays out the whole calendar, but that's where it is now. >> mid-may. may 24th as a trial date to begin for donald trump's -- the case against donald trump, regarding his handling of classified documents. that investigation by the special counsel as we await potentially a third indictment right now regarding the other special counsel investigation into january 6th and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

katelyn, thank you for bringing that to us, i really appreciate it. so we also are talking about another aspect of donald trump's current and -- current history, i guess i'm going to put it, expunging impeachment. something apparently house republicans are considering. some even pushing for it. and there's new information today about a private phone call between donald trump and house speaker kevin mccarthy about this. mccarthy telling donald trump that he supports essentially erasing from the congressional record the two impeachments that trump suffered as president, but why? and why now? and can they even do it? joining us now for more on all of this is former republican congressman, a key member of the house select committee that investigated january 6th, adam kinzinger. good to see you, congressman. let's get to expunging in a second. first, your reaction to now there is a trial date set in the case against trump and his handling of classified documents. what do you think of may 2024?

what does it mean to you? >> well, i mean, i think the country is just ready for this to happen. so we all wish it was tomorrow, but i'm not overly surprised it's may. i mean, the thing i'm actually concerned about, kate, is that it's going to get pushed even further again. the close tr gets to the election and then beyond the election. because i think it's donald trump's calculus that he's going to in his mind win the election and then turn around and pardon himself and that's never been challenged constitutionally so that has to go to the supreme court. that has to go through doj. doj -- his own doj can drop the charges. i think his focus is entirely on delay. it will be interesting to see if they can pull that off. it's a very complex issue with i think it's called cepa, the classified information procedures act. it will be interested to see if they can pull off may. i think december was a bit aggressive probably for this case. >> let's talk politically and the impact on the political calendar. obviously the first contest will have happened, many contests

will have happened, super tuesday would have happened, getting into march and april and i was just looking at my home state, indiana, which was a decisive primary in 2016 when he first ran, when everyone started kind of giving up. in 2024 i think the primary date is may 7th is what i think i saw. so a lot of this is going to be wrapped in the lead up to this trial. >> yeah, it is, and so, look, i think, you know, probably we already know where any indictments that come down any more, any further acts legally probably is going to help donald trump in the primary. that doesn't mean it's going to help him in the national election, but in the primary because right now he's getting so bad honestly and looks so bad that now people have kind of buckled down and said if i admit that donald trump is bad, then i have to kind of take inventory with the fact that i supported him for eight years, particularly in political folks. so, yeah, i think this may not

change his view in the party, but certainly, look, every one of these donald trump is -- the rest of america besides kind of most hard core republicans don't want a president that's potentially going to be convicted of a federal crime and already has been indicted of a crime. >> let me ask you about this effort or talk of or push for expunging or trying to expunge donald trump's impeachments. first off, do you think they can do it and, second, what do you see in this effort and what it says about really the relationship between mccarthy and donald trump? >> well, i mean, maybe they can technically expunge it from the congressional record, but the history books can't be expunged, right? i mean, at least as long as we have the first amendment and free speech. people will remember that. this goes to show, look, kate, if all of a sudden it became conservative to get a slingshot and fire a duck to the moon or something like that, kevin mccarthy would be leading the charge to do that.

because his only thing -- he has compromised so much in his personal values to become the speaker, that he has to keep donald trump on his side and he has to keep his people on his side. so somebody came up with this idea of expunging the impeachment, so now kevin mccarthy has to lead that effort or he will not be sufficiently pro-trump. i think we've learned after a number of years there really is no middle ground on donald trump, you either need to be all in or you need to be all out. you can't be lukewarm and, you know, kevin mccarthy knows that to his credit because he knows how to play politics, it's just i could never do that and a i think most americans probably could never do that. >> it may have an affect if they do move forward with this putting more moderate republicans, republicans who helped kevin mccarthy win the majority and become speaker, put them in a very tough position if they are set up to need to vote on this as well.

adam since i kinzinger, thank y a married father leading a secret life as a serial killer. while his wife and kids were out of town he likely lured his victims to his home. we will have the latest on the gilgo murders when we come back. but not really home. images and videos. social media, fine-tuned to susuck them in. and steal them away. alone you can't stop it. together we will. join us.

disturbing new details this morning in the gilgo beach killings. new york police are looking into the possibility that the suspected serial killer lured victims to his home and killed them there. rex heuermann is in jail on suspicion of killing women just miles from his house. tell us now, what are investigators learning and thinking that killings may have worked at his house? >> well, this is a working theory and the women went missing in 2009 and 2010, and the remains were found shortly thereafter, and the forensic technology has grown immensely

and exponentially since that time. and they have found the travel record for his wife, and each and every victtim that went missing the family was out. and 2009, iceland, and maryland and new jersey and ample ability to do it in the home. furthermore, they found that he had burner phones, and this is recent technology that they were able to ping those burner phones next to his office in new york city, and he was calling the victims' cell phones from those burner phone, but here is the thing, the triangulation of the cell phone data showed that his burner phones, the victims' cell phones went to massapequa and after that, the victims' phones and the burner phones were never

seen again. >> and now, all of this is coming out after his wife has file for divorce. >> the wife has filed for divorce, and while the investigation into that home continues, we want to read a statement from her ay, because he says that as you can imagine our client and her family are going through a devastating time in their lives. the sensitive nature of her husband's arrest is taking an emotional toll on the extensive an immediate family and especially the elder family members, because kate, the whole family, the parents, the grandparents, they are in long island and this is the family home that he was raised in. so, it is just obviously extremely emotional and one thing that is curious, that there were four hairs of his wife found through forensic testing found on the victims or the duct tape, and the question is why. well, her hairs are going to be throughout that home, because people shed hairs constantly.
