♪ donald trump back in court this morning. he has yet to take the stand and speak under oath. but that is not stopping him
6:02 am
from lashing out. that's for sure. attacking the judge in this case and the a.g. multiple times. for the first time, the child of a sitting president appears in court to fight criminal charges. this morning, hunter biden to plead not guilty to gun charges. a ransom note, cell phone pings and fingerprints, the clues that led to a missing 9-year-old girl in new york. we're following these, i'm sara sidner with kate bolduan and john berman, this is "cnn news central." all right. happening now, historic events taking place behind closed doors on capitol hill. make no mistake, this could be mcckevin mccarthy final day as speaker of the house. in the next hour or so, we could learn whether or not he has enough votes to save his job. and in an unprecedented twist,
6:03 am
it's democrats who control his fate. they are holding a meeting at this very moment. the secrecy so tight, they were asked to turn in their cell phones on the way in. this all began yesterday when florida republican matt gaetz offered what is called a motion to vacate the chair. basically he called a vote to oust mccarthy. this morning, cnn has learned at least five republicans are backing the plan to boot him. he can only afford to lose four of them, so if a vote were taken right now, he'd be out. that is, unless democrats step in to save him. that's what they're deciding at this very moment. we're watching the doors at these meetings, trying to find any signs of what's going on inside. as mccarthy's fate hangs in the balance. we will update you as we get any information on this, stay tuned. we're also watching and waiting for something else today that you really never see.
6:04 am
a split screen like no other. one courtroom with a former president facing a judge in a fraud case that could bring down his business empire. and at the same time in another courtroom, the sitting president's son is about to be arraigned on federal gun charges. >> right now, we're standing by to see donald trump leave trump tower as we did yesterday, day one of his $250 million civil fraud trial. a lot of drama, because mostly of donald trump. he went on camera, and online, unleashing a new round of nasty, albeit predictable attacks. in court, trump appeared agitated and angry at times as he listened to testimony from his former accountant. so what will day two bring as that accountant soon retakes the stand? >> cnn's brynn gingras outside the court with more. >> reporter: we're waiting for the president to leave trump
6:05 am
tower. come here to the courthouse, expected to be at the start of 10:00 a.m. he left yesterday with a little pep in his step. that's because of the judge's testimony saying that testimony at the end of the day could have been a complete waste of time. he was referring to the state's attorney questioning his former client that are outside the statue of limitations for the case. that, of course, made the president pretty happy. he said to the cameras, he thought that was outstanding. that's what we've seen from the former president, right? he goes to the cameras when things are going his way inside the courtroom and goes on attack when things aren't going his way. we expect his former accountant back on the stand. the state attorney going through financial statements, valuations on properties and things like that. we expect the defense to continue with the argument there was no intent here, there was no fraud. and especially, there were no victims. yesterday, we saw the former president be pretty engaged with his attorneys.
6:06 am
talking with them, conferring with them, listening to the testimony intensely. how many times is he going to to come back to court? remember, there are a number of people expected to take the witness stand that includes himself, his adult sons. it will be interesting to see when he'll show up when his former fixer, former attorney, michael cohen shows up. this is the reason this all got started in this case after his testimony to congress. these are things that we're certainly looking to as day two gets under way. as you guys pointed out there's a lot at stake for him. his brand on the line. and we know the president is very much interested in protecting that brand, guys. >> brynn gingras, thank you for the details. >> the former president claims the new york case against him is political as he does with just about every single case. he says it's all about trying to
6:07 am
damage him ahead of the election. even though the judge did find him and his adult soons liable for fraud just by looking at cold, hard facts forensic accounting. cnn's kristen holmes is outside of trump tower. trump is posting, he's up and at it this morning. what's he saying? >> reporter: well, sara, the same thing we talked about yesterday, the valuation of mar-a-lago. now, i'm told by sources close to him what he said on camera, about being a good day in court, that is actually why he's going that way. one source saying he has fun. of course, donald trump only has fun when there are a lot of cameras around him to go out and say what he wants to say. as he reported yesterday much of this was really set up like a campaign event. and geared towards getting all of that media coverage. but when i talk to legal sources as well as advisers to trump, they do say that he is invested in the case. he was intensely listen as bryn said, he was talking to the
6:08 am
legal team, deciding what to do. and trying to follow along on what exactly is happening on the legal side of this as well. one more thing to point out here, bryn touched on this on the brand. everything is tied around the trump brand as him building himself up as a rich businessman. you can see by his fixation on the value of mar-a-lago, his home in florida, this is something so important to him. it's not just his personal brand but also his political brand. he sells the idea because he's a rich businessman he can do to others what he has done for himself. now, again, no one on his team expects that he's going to be there every single day in court. we know he's going to be back on the campaign trail. he's going to be visiting early voting states. he has several speeches scheduled. he's enjoying it and he's active this morning. >> kristen holmes, thank you as
6:09 am
always. we'll get back to you also. in delaware now this morning, president biden's son, hunter biden, he is headed to court. he's said to be arraigned on three felony gun charges after his plea agreement fell apart in that spectacular fashion back in july. he's expected to lead not guilty. there's a whole lot more going on with this, cnn's paula reid is there. paula, what we're looking at here is the first ever indictment of a sitting president's child. what is going to happen today? >> reporter: kate, any moment, hunter biden is expected to arrive in federal court in wilmington, delaware. he'll head inside for his arraignment on the federal charges. he's expected to plead not guilty. likely to be processed and the judge will set out the terms, conditions for his release. this should be a pretty quick hearing, even though it's quick, it's procedural, and still a historic moment. this is the first time that a child of a sitting president will be arraigned on criminal
6:10 am
charges. now, these gun charges, along with several other charges related to alleged tax crimes were all expected to be resolved were a plea deal several weeks ago but that plea deal fell apart. the prosecutor overseeing the investigation in the case has since been named as special counsel and filed these gun charges, but, kate, at this point, it's unclear what's going to happen with the tax charges. those will also be filed now that the plea deal has fallen apart. hunter biden's lawyers are insisting that the prosecutor bent to political pressure and this is not the kind of case to be brought against anyone else. they pointed to the fact that no one here in the district of delaware, with a similar set of facts, has ever been charged. and many legal experts have also agreed with that assessment. that this is a highly unusual case. but again, this is now a special counsel investigation. it's unclear if additional charges will be brought. but today, a historic moment, the first arraignment of the
6:11 am
child of a sitting president. kate. >> paula, thanks for being there. we'll keep close eyes on this. with us now jeremy saland, former district attorney for the manhattan office and jean rossi. i'm going to start with you, jeremy, we heard the defense there, this is not common. how common is it for someone to be charged with this kind of a gun charge in this case? >> well, when you look at the statistics, there's plenty of thousands of people that are charged for these gun-related crimes. but the particular offense for which he is charged is general not charged certainly on an island meaning by itself as its ruling defense. as you look at the circumstances as well, no one is accusing him of shooting somebody else or being a kingpin in unrelated drug transaction. this is a five-year-old offense, or so, where he had the firearm for roughly 11 days and simply filled out paperwork.
6:12 am
so it is atypical as an island by itself. and even not that general with other crimes. >> you're saying if there wasn't other crimes committed were eye that firearm, it's not likely they'd put this particular charge out there. >> statistics are bearing that out. >> gene, if i can ask you, this marrying is before a magistrate judge for hunter biden but the judge presiding is the same judge that the plea deal fell through. is there any chance that the judge can say, you two sides get back there and work something out, because this particular gun charge, as jeremy was saying there, is not normally you see by itself? >> no a magistrate -- >> not the magistrate judge, when it goes to the next phase. today is procedural. today issen in and out, they're done, moving on. >> oh, i'm sorry. yeah. >> when the presiding judge starts to weigh in on this again soon. >> yeah, i misheard you, john, i
6:13 am
apologize. the district court judge would not do that because you're putting your fingers in the pot. they have to stay removed and let the parties negotiate if possible before trial. i do have a comment, i have a client in newport, 25 years old, high school dropout she's been charged with a g3 charge. i would say this, if it were hunter biden, he would not be charged with this g3. i talked to one of the defendants who had a provocative nickname. in a case of violence, you would charge the user charge. but a stand-alone, never done in my 30 years as a prosecutor. >> jeremy, the special counsel is still investigating, obviously, there's the
6:14 am
possibility no matter how shaky the ground these afternoon chas are, or an on an island, whatever it, we are where we are today. the tax crimes that they're still investigating how likely is that to file on him? >> i certainly think that's a possibility. they're investigating it now still. even again, i don't want to make something smaller than it, at the same time, we don't went to make it larger than it. this is not the most grave tax crime in terms of dollars. >> what does that mean about the penalty, the consequences? >> i think you can see, even what fell through, this is not an incarceration issue. certainly, things can change, one never knows and the judge can make the decision, but on its history and based on the case, i don't think that's the issue here. controlled substance is marijuana with the federal government. even though some states legalize marijuana. theoretically, if you're smoking marijuana or denying you're smoking marijuana and getting a
6:15 am
firearm, abiding by the laws of the state, in missouri, getting a firearm, that's the law, it may seem silly, that's not a level term, but it seems silly that we're here. >> it should be a legal term. >> well, if you use it in quotes. >> i want to move to the other case that we are watching right now which is donald trump's fraud case here in new york. trump has said a couple of things, and i wanted to get your take on this. he think it's unfair he doesn't have a jury. he said the fraud case is election interference because he has to be in court and cannot be out on the campaign trail. doesn't he have control of those two things. >> nonsense and nonsense. if he wanted a jury, he could have asked for a jury. there's nothing that precludes him as a matter of law, his attorneys either failed to do so because they made an error, or that was a calculated decision, although it seems to be an odd one. in terms of every day, this is not a criminal case where you
6:16 am
are there and show up in new york. and that's not what's happening here. that's not him. >> gene, of course, donald trump has lost a big part of this case already. maybe the biggest part of this case, the judge made a summary judgment saying that donald trump and his sons did commit fraud here. as they continue on through this case, to determine the other several count which is get to the issue of intent, what will be allowed and not allowed? yesterday, they had the whole thing whether there's a statute of limitations on some of the accounting that took place before. how much is that going to matter going forward? >> well, i think donald trump got a little ahead of his skis. i've done a ton of civil and criminal tax cases for doj. even though financial terms, financial statements are outside the statute of limitations, you can use those documents as a prolog to show on sense of the
6:17 am
state intent plan. mr. trump was unhappy by some innocuous comment by a judge but if you have returns seven or eight years old but they're consistent with returns or statements you're presenting in the charge counts, that comes in as relevant conduct. relevant conduct. >> jeremy, gene, thank you. >> you say yjeremy, i'll say gene. >> okay, jeremy. >> gene, thank you so much. coming up for us, kevin mccarthy fighting for his speakership and may need democrats to do that. dems behind closed doors to figure out their game plan. republicans are huddling behind closed doors this hour. something has got to give. something is going to give, we'll soon find out what it is. a 9-year-old girl is back home today. the man suspected of kidnapping her is in custody. police are saying how they were able to track down the suspect from a ransom note. and a congressman car
6:18 am
jacketed at gunpoint in washington, d.c. more details on the investigation now. find out what happened. that's ahead.
6:19 am
6:20 am
6:21 am
6:22 am
welcome back. you're looking at live pictures of donald trump on the move. heading to the courthouse in lower manhattan, headed back to court to face a second day of his civil fraud trial. we're going to bring you updates as the former president will be heading back in that courthouse. let's see what happens today. all right. right now, house republicans and democrats are meeting separately and secretly behind closed doors on capitol hill, as speaker kevin mccarthy's job is on the line. after weeks of threats, gop congressman matt gaetz has filed that motion to oust mccarthy as speak. and a vote to determine mccarthy's future could come as early as today, gaetz says he has enough republicans backing him that mccarthy will need to turn to democrats to save him. cnn's lauren fox is live for us
6:23 am
from capitol hill. you're outside the democratic caucus meeting. i see a line of people, reporters, waiting to hear. what else are you hearing? because we have heard from some of these legislators earlier this morning, before they went into those meetings. >> reporter: yeah, let's break this down, sara, outside of the democratic caucus meeting, this is a highly anticipated conversation that the caucus is going to have today. that is because, for the last several weeks, their leadership has been making clear they did not want members freelancing any side deal with republican colleagues. that they wanted their members to keep their powder dry and wait for the moment that this resolution was filed on the floor. that, of course, happened last night with matt gaetz. now, the question becomes what are democrats going to do. leader jeffries had a conversation with house speaker kevin mccarthy here's what jeffries said he told the speaker. >> i will say, to you, is what i said to him which is that we have a caucus meeting this morning. we'll have a family conversation
6:24 am
about this issue. relatively a first impression that hasn't been before the congress in 110 years or so. and then figure out where to go from there. >> reporter: and a number of democrats that i spoke to this morning say that they are waiting for the message from leadership. many members believe it is crucial for democrats to be united on this. for democrats not to be going off and voting just on the floor with their republican colleagues. and one thing that became very clear is that there is a trust issue with the speaker of the house. i talked to representative dan kildee, he said even if we could strike some kind of deal with mccarthy to save him, there's a lot of fear in our caucus about whether or not the speaker would be true to his word. now speaker mccarthy did appear on cnbc this morning. he said that there is no special deal with democrats. but, obviously, as the hours tick on, as we get closer to
6:25 am
this crucial vote, the question will become does that calculus for the speaker change as he stares down his fate. sara. >> and the reason for that distrust is because mccarthy had a handshake deal with the president on may 5th that he reneged on. thank you so much, lauren. i know you're out there waiting for details. as soon as you get them, we will come back to you. john. with us now, senior political analyst and senior editor at the atlantic ron brownstein. behind lauren fox right now the fate of kevin mccarthy is being determined. in the room, i'm not sure we can stress this enough, there is a meeting going on among democrats to decide whether the house house speaker gets to keep this job. we could learn that in 30 minutes. >> we've never seen that with the house. the house has become a more parliamentary institution. and it's unique.
6:26 am
here we are in a situation, if democrats are voting with their hearts, kevin mccarthy would be out in a heartbeat. voting with their heads, it may head in that direction anyway, but there is a closer call because there are considerations on each side of the ledger, once you look at it beyond their instinctive distrust for him and the distaste for how these been subservant to donald trump and launching the impeachment inquiry into biden. >> i talked to congressman smith from washington state yesterday, he articulated what is a concern among democrats that they could end up with something in their minds worse than kevin mccarthy if they vote to oust him. but in order to support him, they want in return. what on earth can mccarthy give democrats? >> i mean, there's a lot he could give them. the problem is anything he gives them will probably widen the circle of republicans who want
6:27 am
to get rid of him. it's a zero sum game. it really isn't tenable to be a long-term speaker. what adam said is exactly right. on one hand, the cold political calculation is that democrats probably would be better served by joining the effort to oppose mccarthy. it would pin the image of chaos that is enveloping the republican and with the democrats in 2024. it would also widen, exacerbate the conflict between republicans who work competitive districts and those in safe districts and the far right. all of that would benefit republicans. the flip side is it probably would lead to more chaos, in fact. and would lead to a speaker that probably is more confrontational. would increase the odds of a government shutdown in 45 days. probably increase the odds that the impeachment inquiry goes on. it's not an easy choice when you kind of look at it that way for democrats. but i suspect there will be a
6:28 am
lot of momentum in that caucus to question why they should bail out kevin mccarthy given the way he's behaved as speaker. >> i want to go to that image of reporters camped out. remarkable picture. the reason they're all stand there behind the closed doors democrats are quite literally deciding the fate of kevin mccarthy. all members of congress had to turn in their cell phones on the way in because they're having what's called this family meeting to hash out what they wanted to do. i want to read a quote from punchbowl news, our friends jake sherman and john bresnahan wrote would democrats want a true government with equal representation? what happens to the impeachment inquiry into president biden? democrats aren't going to want that to continue but mccarthy ends the probe, the speaker would face a huge backlash. and how does mccarthy keep
6:29 am
fundraising for 2024 if he's overseeing a mixed house. it's a heck of a thing here. >> yeah, i can't imagine anything like that is going to happen. we're talking about kevin mccarthy within days of january 6 went to mar-a-lago to bend a knee and extend his loyalty to trump which he has kept throughout. you know, throughout the speakership. and the general strategy of the speakership has been to continue to nullify his critics on the right and expect the republicans in more competitive districts to fall in line behind him. i don't think democrats would have those kinds of expectations. it really is more the devil you know. knowing joe biden and institutionalist that he is, i can imagine his instinct might be that the devil you know is better than anything down the road. but i do think there are largely political arguments on both sides of this for democrats. i don't know what the house
6:30 am
looked mrieg when joe cannon was facing this in 1910, there's no one alive to tell us what unfolded then. it's extraordinarily unusual. one last thing, john there's an if, in the way you framed the question, if democrats can unify, they can decide it as a body. there's a chance that moderates may want to bolster their bipartisan cred by vote for mccarthy. generally that hasn't happened so much with democrats, more so with republicans, they've held together with remarkable consistency but there's at least a possibility they can't enforce that position. >> some of those, those are the those who kevin mccarthy worked hardest to beat. he may have a grudge. we don't know what happens behind closed doors. ron brownstein, thank you so much for being with us. still ahead for us, a fingerprint on a ransom note leading police to the suspect in
6:31 am
a kidnapping of a 9-year-old girl. and details about how she was found and how she is doing now. plus, god help us if he's elected. that is a stark warning from a former general who served under president donald trump. now, two generals speaking out about their time working for donald trump and the dangers of a second trump presidency.
6:32 am
6:33 am
6:34 am
6:35 am
. happening now, there's so much going on, live pictures from capitol hill, inside a meeting to determine whether house speaker kevin mccarthy will keep his job. and it's a meeting among democrats. they are caucusing to decide if
6:36 am
they want to blend their votes to help him survive. we're waiting for word inside that meeting. also, we're just minutes away. donald trump arrived at court just moments ago in his civil fraud trial. we're monitoring that case to see what twists and turns happen there. and in delaware, hunter biden heads to court. he will plead not guilty to gun charges there, today, kate. also this morning, a 9-year-old girl is safely back after she was abducted during a camping trip in a new york state park. charlotte sena's disappearance saturday sparked an around-the-clock search sunday involving hundreds of law enforcement agencies, the fbi and so many people. ultimately, a ransom note is what led officials to charlotte where they were able to also then arrest 46-year-old craig ross jr. in connection with her disappearance. ross was arraigned overnight on a felony charge of kidnapping in the first degree.
6:37 am
cnn's jean casarez joins us with more on this, jean, this is a remarkable situation and how this has unfolded. what more are you learning now? >> reporter: absolutely, kate, i want to show you, this is the local newspaper this morning, missing saratoga county girl found safe. this is what people are reading in this community this morning. either digitally or as a hard copy. and the defendant is right behind me in the saratoga county correctional facility charged with first degree kidnapping. now, the case broke, believe it or not, beginning at 4:20 a.m. yesterday. according to the governor, while the family remained at the campsite as the searching continued, police were guarding the family's home. and they suddenly see a man come and deposit a letter in the mailbox. that letter turned out according to law enforcement to be a ransom note. they knew they needed a
6:38 am
fingerprint. they worked all day. at 2:15 yesterday afternoon, they got a hit of a fingerprint that led them to a name, that led them to the residence of craig ross jr. living behind his mother's home in a trailer. the s.w.a.t. team stormed into that trailer home at 6:30 last night. they apprehended him. and they found charlotte in a cabinet. now, here is what local law enforcement had to say about how this all began on saturday. it was a very simple and nice family camping trip. >> charlotte was no more than probably two tenths of a mile from where she was camping in a small area, gone, for her to ride her bike around that loop would be four or five minutes. you think they're safe doing that at 9 years old. you've got to be cognizant, pay
6:39 am
attention to surroundings around you all the time. these things happen and fortunately, this ended the right way. >> reporter: and he was arraigned in that initial court appearing in the early morning hours, charged at this point with that felony count of first degree kidnapping. authorities are saying they do believe there could be additional charges. we just don't know when. kate. >> yeah, that poor sweet girl. focusing on getting her the help that she needs, especially big hugs from her parents right now. jean, thank you so much. sara. >> for more on the story, i'm joined by casey jordan she's a criminologist and behavorial analyst. it's hard to imagine, it's a scenario here where you have a ransom note. what does this tell you about the suspect in this case that he managed to find the home, that he put this note into, according to police, into the mailbox at
6:40 am
the home, with the child in his van. >> and make no mistake, sara, without that ransom note, i don't know that we would have charlotte right now. so, this is highly unusual, because the house where she was being -- the camper where she was being held, where mr. ross lives is just three minutes from charlotte's family home. and that is a good 20 minutes from the campground where she was abducted. so it is not what we initially thought that it might have been somebody at the campground. a ransom camper who sees a random child and impulsively snatches her up. the fact that he lives near the family home does say that he had eyes on charlotte and probably followed them to the campground with the idea of abducting charlotte because he knows where the family lives. make no mistake, the ransom note
6:41 am
say red herring it's to throw police off to make them think it's a monetary motive. the core of this is probably sexually motivated. hopefully she was recovered before she was abused but they say more charges are coming. >> you say this is not motivated necessarily by money. when we hear ransom note, we think this is definitely highly unusual, because it is motivated by money when you hear ransom. what makes you think otherwise? >> well, i grew up in this area. and i lived nearby in ft. edward for many, many years. the people who live in this area are hard working people. charlotte's father david is a pipe fitter. but we don't get the feeling this is a jean benramsey case we people are dripping in money. the ransom note being dropped in the mailbox was really just to throw the police off.
6:42 am
to make them think that there's something else going on here. i mean, he really underestimated the idea that they would have eyes on him and that fingerprint from a dui arrest 24 years ago would come back to haunt him. but, again, his mistake, his slip-up, that ransom note which was to throw attention what i think was a sexually motivated attack on the child, abduction of the child, that is what got him caught. has mistake is why charlotte is safe today. >> i do want to ask you, charlotte is just a little girl, she's i just 9 years old. she's found in a cabinet in this camper. how does she get through this? >> yeah, i don't like the headline that said she was found safe. when she was found, she was not safe. she's safe now. but the really good news, she has a loving family.
6:43 am
i got to give kudos to the family calling police within 45 minutes after she disappeared. they knew their daughter, they knew something bad happened. what she looks forward to is a lot of love from her family. and support from her family and i think we need to leave her in peace to do that on her own. >> casey jordan, thank you so much. appreciate you. john. a congressman carjacked at gunpoint in washington, d.c. what they stole, the hunt for the suspects this morning. and this could be kevin mccarthy's last day as house speaker. we have some breaking news. we're just getting word that a vote that will very much determine his fate has now been scheduled for today. we're talking just hours away. so stay tuned.
6:44 am
6:45 am
6:46 am
6:47 am
6:48 am
all right. we're tracking multiple live events this hour. this, just moments ago, we got a glimpse of -- through the trees and in the moment, you will see, hunter biden, joe biden's son, arriving in court in wilmington, delaware. arriving with his representation and his attorneys. he is going to be heading into that courtroom. you see him right there. he's set to be arraigned on three felony gun charges after that plea agreement fell apart over the summer back in july. he's expected to plead not guilty. this could be a quick in and out. but this is far from over to the end of the legal troubles facing hunter biden right now. we'll continue to bring you those updates when they come. there's also this that we're watching, quote, i'll take a back seat to no one on loyalty to this country. the newly retired chairman of joint chiefs of staff not mincing words and no longer really holding back about the
6:49 am
attacks from and dangers posed by donald trump. general mark milley is who here talking about. he has his admirers, he has his critics. but there is no disputing that this relationship with the former president that he advised was contentious at best, toxic and combative near the close. now in interviews, milley is having his say on trump. calling it treasonous for reaching out to chinese counterparts and the aftermath of january 6. milley responded this way to nbc news. >> everyone is tientitled to th opinion. i served my country for decades. my family has made enormous sacrifices for this country. my mother and father before me, grandparents to them. i'll take a back seat on loyalty to no one in this country. my loyalty is to this document. never to an individual.
6:50 am
that's the loyalty to every single one of us in uniform. >> it's not just general milley speaking out now. in an exclusive statement to cnn, retired military commander, john kelly, donald trump's longest serving chief of staff, he confirmed a lot of the sad, distasteful and disparaging remarks that have reportedly been said by trump over the course of his time as president including attacks u.s. troops, wounded warriors. when asked if he wanted to weigh in as people like general milley are coming forward, john kelly said this to cnn, in part, what can i add that has not already been said? also says a person who thinks those who defend their country in uniform or shot down or seriously wounded in combat or spend years being tortured as suck sers because there is nothing in it for them, and person who is not in the prens
6:51 am
of amputee, because it is nothing in there for him. and the person who is in the protection of unborn life, minorities and evangelical christians and jews and person who has no idea what america stands for and who has no idea what america is all about, and he continues, a person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators and person who has contempt for the rule of law, there is nothing more that can be said. god help us. that is from retire general john kelly, former chief of staff, john kelly, about his former boss donald trump. sara. >> it is stunning to see that play out this way and hear those words from him. all right. minutes from now, the court is going to be in session from donald trump's civil fraud trial and hunter biden's arraignment on the gun charges.
6:52 am
we will take you live from new york and wilmington, delaware. we have watched hunter biden walk into court and we will see the same from donald trump. more ahead.
6:53 am
c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit.
6:54 am
