breakk at this hour, a trial date now set for donald trump's classified documents case as a potential third indictment looms over him. a federal judge says when the jury selection will begin. russia is attacking world's food supply and striking ukraine's food grain warehouses overnight, as it is confirmed that ukraine is using the cluster bombs, and possible warnings by russia in the black sea. ♪ i come home to you ♪ ♪ san francisco ♪ ♪ your golden sun will shine for
7:01 am
me ♪ a master musician with an unparalleled career spanning more than 70 years and music fans everywhere mourning the loss of tony bennett this morning. we look back at his music and legacy. that and more stories coming in right now into cnn "news central." cnn legal affairs correspondent paula reid joining with us the latest on the trial date of donald trump. this is not the trial date that the special counsel was hoping for, and what more can you tell us? >> well, at least it is a trial date, because the defense attorneys argued it is too soon to put a date on the calendar.
7:02 am
the central tension in the case, the central conflict of the defense attorneys and the prosecutors is over the timing. prosecutors including jack smith have said they want a quote speedy trial, which is why they wanted to take the trial before a jury in december, but the defense attorneys argued in court before this same judge it would be quote unfair to put the former president on trial at any time before the 2024 election. so here, the judge split the difference. she put a trial date on the calendar for the middle of may 2024. she also offered a very detailed schedule for when things need to happen. there is a lot going on in this case, and it is complex, and deals with a lot of discovery and a lot of discovery overall. and the trump lawyers noted that they have several other cases to work on, and she set out a detailed schedule of when she wants everything to happen, but it is possible and highly likely even that this date could slide,
7:03 am
because when we were in court tuesday, the judge was pressing the defense attorneys to give her more guidance and help her to understand how long it would take them to go through some of the discovery. they have hours and hours and hours of surveillance footage. and they have tens of hundreds of thousand of documents to go through, and they said they could not give her the guidance until november. we would not be surprised to see the defense attorneys push it back, and this is the strategy for them, right? a little delay here, and another delay there, and to push it so far into 2024 that they might be able to successfully make an argument that the former president cannot be put on trial so close to an election, but rahel, in court tuesday, the judge was not interested in arguments about trump's status as a candidate. the prosecutors said, it does not matter if he is a candidate and no longer a president, and he should be treated like any
7:04 am
other busy american, and the judge said, i don't want to hear it, i am focused on how long it is going to take you to do the work to get to trial. we will be watching to see if it sticks, but in november, when the lawyers have a better sense of how long it is going to take them to prepare for trial, we could see them push for one more delay. >> it is going to be fascinating to watch, because any delay gets us closer and closer to november, the election. paula reid, great to have you. kate, she made the point that she should have split the difference of the special counsel and what trump's team needed, and maybe she split the calendar, but it is smack dab in the political calendar. a lot to watch for here. >> and more scheduling issues if a third indictment is coming. let's talk more about the indictment watch, the target letter that donald trump received regarding january 6th and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. joining us right now is federal
7:05 am
prosecutor tim hafee and it is great to talk to you again, tim. one thing that we noticed while everyone is waiting an anticipating the third indictment is coming for donald trump. no one has yet at least publicly said that they have received that we know of, and no one else has received a target letter, but you do need someone else to be involved when you have a conspiracy charge that he could be facing if that is the charge coming to donald trump. who do you think from your work and all of the hours of investigative time that you spent on this, who do you think would be the co-conspirators here with all of the time that you have spent on this? >> well, there was a criminal referral of rudy giuliani, of ken eastman and ken chesboro and
7:06 am
ken meadows, and any number of people in the included conspiracy charges, and the challenge for jack smith is the number of people to charge in that conspiracy. >> you mentioned mark meadows, and did somebody have to turn on trump in order for the coukcoun to get to this point, and mark med dose take for one example, do you in your experience think that he is inclined to be cooperate with the justice department? >> well, it is hard to say. we had a little dance with mr. meadows where we invited him to come and provide information to the select committee and he gave us important information from the text messages up to and post
7:07 am
january 6th, and then he would not come n and we referred him to the department of justice for prosecution, and the special counsel has leverage, and the ability to bring criminal charges and use the looming prospect of charges as leverage to get people to cooperate, and this is what the prosecutors do in all kinds of cases. i am not sure, kate, if this has happen in this matter, and mr. med dose has assessed the culpability that he has provided to the special counsel and he has not provided to the select committee, and if so that is huge, because he was in the prongs of the multi-pronged plan to disrupt the transfer of power. >> and we know that the grand jury heard testimony yesterday from a trump aide will russell. did you all speak with will russell as part of your investigation? >> we did not speak to russell. we heard a lot about him, but we did not actually speak to will russell.
7:08 am
he was a body man. he was the guy who carried tic-tacs and the diet coke and comb around for the president, and one of the aides around and so he would have been in position to hear conversation, and have been in the room when things happen, and he has been before the grand jury for times and certain things about privilege assertions, so i am not sure where he stand, but it is not surprising to me that it is someone that the special counsel would want to hear from. >> tim heaphy, thank you for coming on, and it would be great to have you on when the potential indictment comes down because nobody knows more about the january 6th as the lead investigator. thank you. >> thank you. and now, one of the greatest crooners of all time tony bennett has died at 86. the iconic voice transcended

7:10 am
perform, it is a bucket list moment. i spoke to him when he turned 90 years old and i interviewed him for cnn at the rainbow room, an iconic venue for iconic legend and i said at the time, i said, how does it feel to turn 90, and he said, i feel 35 years old. he said life goes fast. but he said that the audience has always made me feel accepted, and i have been sold out throughout my whole life performing throughout the world, and it is a great gift and i am very honored to have had a life entertaining people. he also told me how much he loved his wife susan, and he only had eyes for her. she was by his bedside when he passed, rahel, and he is survived by several children, and survived by nine grandchildren, and you mentioned lady gaga, and they had a beautiful chemistry together.
7:11 am
they put out two albums together and toured together. and she put out that she has sung with him for a decade, and she said it was heartbreaking watching him go through alzheimer's, and she said i love his wife susan with all of my heart and i can't tell you what vi i have learned from him and to sing with a legend for so many years. the tributes are pouring in and we will tell you about them later today, and we have lost a legend, but he had a remarkable life, rahel. >> i am sure that the tributes are going to continue to pour in today and the days and weeks to come. i wanted to play a snippet that our colleague anderson cooper spoke to him, and then we will talk about it on the other side. take a listen. >> he wanted to get back to work, and go up on stage with his doctor's blessing and with his family's help they booked

early this morning, russia launched zen missile ed seven m
7:19 am
port of odessa and the fourth straight night of the relentless russian bombardment and this onslaught has devastated grain storage warehouses. this is important not just for ukraine, but for the world's food supply. the ukrainian military says that the strikes are undoubtedly related to the grain deal that russia withdrew from monday, and now the caa is warning that russia is preparing a false flag operation in black sea targeting civilian ships and then blaming it on ukraine. russia is no doubt calling this pure fabrication. we have alex marquardt on the ground in ukraine, and first of all, you and your team were in odesa, and what does this bombardment and the devastation left behind mean? >> well, it means that food
7:20 am
prices could go up, and they have gone up, and we have seen it already that the food supply could go down, and impacting not just ukraine and the economy and the ability to export, but it really does impact so much of the world, so much of the world that is hungry and depending on ukraine for grain and other type of food that it does export. this is why it is called the world's bread basket. kate, we were up all night in odesa to wait and see if there is a fourth night of the intense strikes and they came after dawn and in the course of the morning and seven different types of cruise missiles, and seven missiles of different types used against the food storage facilities, and russia is claiming that it is hitting the military facilities and fuel facilities and hitting odesa and the surrounding region, because they say that is where the sea drones were launched against the
7:21 am
kirsch bridge, but it is clear it is so much more around those ports of around odesa, and the grain facilities and 60,000 tons destroyed and that grain was destined ukraine says for the russian ally china who is backing them in this war, so it has to do, ukraine believes with russia pulling out of the grain deal just a few days ago. it appears that russia is trying to gain some leverage, and get some concessions from ukraine and the west. >> now, let me bring in natasha bertrand, and what are you hearing of the warnings of the coming and false flag operation in the black sea, where the grain would most efficiently be transported. >> yeah, kate. we are hearing a number of warnings coming from the u.s. government and the u.n. security council and the cia director and
7:22 am
bill burns saying that russian ships will be attacking ukrainian ships because of pulling out of that grain deal, and poised to attack ships in the black sea and blaming ukraine about it, and a false flag operation to blame ukraine as the aggressor and not russia. and bill byrnes said at the summit last night that it is something that they said last night ever since that grain deal fell apart. this is what he said. >> we have seen them posting a video detecting and detonating what they are claiming is a ukrainian mine. this is classic russia propaganda, and classic opportunity by them to plant like a false flag to justify which is of course there would not be any justification, but to justify attacking civilian
7:23 am
shipping. >> that is the nastional securiy spokesman john kirby who we heard this week that they are concerned that russia is going to try to frame the ukrainians for attacks on the civilian ships in black sea. of course, they are watching to see if russia lays mines as well at the ukrainian ports to prevent that grain from exiting ukraine. kate. >> important point that you have made though is the similar message from bill byrnes to john kirby at the white house about the coordinated messaging to go public to talk about it. that is extremely interesting. thank you, natasha bertrand. >> and now, joining us to talk about this is general mark kimmett, and i wanted to talk about the cluster munitions that the u.s. has provided, and could this be a game-changer in counter offensive, and what do
7:24 am
you see? >> no, i don't think it is a game-changer. it is important. it adds to the capability of ukrainians to get through that obstacle belt from hell. it is great for going against the troops in bunkers and possibly some of the armored vehicles in the rear, but it is not going to be a game-changer, but lit help. >> important but not a game-changer, and this is important context for us to understand. general kimmett, can i ask you about the warning from our colleague natasha bertrand that russia could present a false flag operation in the black sea for example. what would that look like? >> well, it was said earlier they could be floating ukrainian mine near a civilian ship. they could be conducting an attack against a turkish port for instance, but the best thing that could happen is what bill byrnes did which is to ul kate out and reveal it, and if you
7:25 am
know that a false flag is coming and announced to the world that it has no effect. >> i wanted to talk about the black sea grain deal which is getting a lot of attention understandably so, and what can be done at this point? are there alternate means of transportation for the grain, perhaps roads or rails, and what do you see here? you could argue that the grain is desperately needed in some parts of the world. >> oh, it is desperately needed particularly in those crisis countries such as yemen, such as somalia which have no other source and have to be fed by the world food program. the problem with the railroads is that the russians are always going to be using a different gauge than the europeans, so you can't make a great impact with the railroad system. by using trucks, i think that we need to understand how large a cargo ship is, and how much wheat needs to get out there. the trucks just don't have, and
7:26 am
it would be a convoy of trucks hundreds of miles to deal with one single cargo ship could do, and russians understand that this is a weakness. understand that it is affecting not simply ukraine, but the world. it is a great psychological boost for their own people to see russia doing something against this evil aggressor ukraine. >> it is reminding me what our colleague maalex marquardt said about the need of grain all over the world. >> yes. and now, the cyber attack linked to beijing, and also ouo colleague was also attackeked b these hackers.

welcome back. "oppenheimer" is a fim film tha premiers today. it focus on the creator of the atomic bomb. the star of the movie matt damon joins chris wallace and explains why he took on the historic role. >> reporter: your latest movie is just out, "oppenheimer" about the scientist who led the effort to create the atomic bomb, and you play general leslie groves who is the leader of the manhattan project, and why did you want to play this project? >> the director is one of the best to err ver live, and it is plays like a thriller, and you are on the edge of your seat the whole time. >> and anybody who is interested
7:52 am
in this, it deals with the central question was the u.s. right or wrong in dropping the bomb on hiroshima? >> it is an impossible question. i remember talking to ben affleck's father who is a marine, and he said, when we heard about the bomb dropped we cheered, and you know, this is 50 years later he is telling me this, and he said, i live with the fact that i cheered, but this is what they were telling us that they were going to fight to the last man, and that we were going to, you know -- and i covered it in the book, 250,000 and 1 million americans in your book. >> yes, it is called "countdown 1945" and it is available on amazon. >> and not the shamelessly plug your book, but -- >> what would you have done? >> i probably -- i probably would have had a head of gray hair, but you know, the presidents just goes white, and like, you know.

it is funny, because when you are looking at it, you think that there is one choice to make, and you are looking at the people who make the choice, but i don't believe that groves lost one night of sleep, because he fulfilled the mission, but oppenheimer, and once they started to go through the test, they said, oh, my god, and it is like a shock wave going through them. joining us now the discuss is chris wallace, and the host of "who is talking to chris palace" on cnn and did matt damon ever answer the question what he would do? >> not quite. it is a fascinating question, and i did write a book about it shamelessly plugged, and the

people said how could we have dropped a bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki and killed hundreds of thousands opeople with radiation poisoning, and the flipside that a lot of people don't realize that if we had not done that to end the war, the u.s. was going to invade japan, and they had fought fiercely in all of the islands in the pacific, and the estimates were that quarter of a million and million people would die both japanese and u.s. soldiers which is why for instance, ben affleck's grandfather was sitting there cheering, because this would save their lives. so, as a no-brainer, and political issue, it is a no-brainer, but as a moral issue, and here we are 75-plus years later, and people are still fascinated by it, which is part of the fascination of the movie "oppenheimer" which comes out today. >> and tell us more about the conversation, because when you are thinking of the hollywood

actors, and the s.a.g. strike, and did your conversation go there? >> well, no, because at that point, we didn't know if there was going to be a strike, and they were concerned about it. so we interviewed matt damon, and i should point this out, because he is not allowed to do publicity for the movie now about the strike. and we interviewed him three weeks ago because they were so concerned about the stars othis movie and a lot of the other movies out there would not be able to publicize them, and so we did it well before the strike is concerned, but we did talk about the industry, and in fact, he and ben affleck have started their own studio called actors equity, because, you know, the whole business, like a lot of businesses including ours, rahel, are changing with the streaming with artificial intelligence, and the whole economic model built with the old rules of the game are changing, and you have to adjust
