>> absolutely, wolf. department, even as a student in high school playing in the park with other, you know, friends of mine, multiracial group. myself and another friend of mine were the only two black kids who were at the park that day playing, and out of nowhere we had police officers come and pick the two of us up out of the group of our friends and put us in the back of a squad, take us. we were shown to someone in a window to be identified as perhaps potentially criminals or something like that. but that was quite a traumatic experience in minneapolis. i've randomly been stopped because officers said i, you know, took the cart out of the store and took it back in the store and got back in my car and he was somehow concerned that maybe that meant i was dealing drugs. i've had officers almost throw me off my bike just coming back from biking down the parkway, you know, saying that someone called and said they saw their neighbor's back door open and saw me riding down the sidewalk, down the street and t

wolf? >> have we heard, sara, anything from the 12 jurors who delivered those unanimous guilty verdicts. >> reporter: we have not yet heard from the jurors. it will be up to the judge when we get the names of the jurors. the judge said when this was all starting that he would pretty quickly after the verdict put this out, but because of the nature of this case and because people around this world have watched this case he may take more time before he puts the names out. maybe we'll hear from one of the jurors, all of the jurors, all a wait and see at this point. i want to get more on the minneapolis justice department policing practice. president biden will discuss police reform when he addresses a joint session of congress next week. what is this? >> it's important for the president and how he doesn't want to slip from the forefront so he'll be mentioning that during the first address to congress. that's expected to happen next week and that will happen as the justice department is making

. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. the prosecution here in the case of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin continues to present law enforcement witnesses in order to convince the jury that chauvin violated department policy when he placed his knee on george floyd's neck. now, we know that for over a week we've heard damning testimony about chauvin's actions, but tooday the defense in this case eliciting some note worthy concessions by witnesses. one by one veteran members of the minneapolis police department took the stand. each part of the department's training force. today's testimony added to the chorus of police department witnesses, including the chief, who have said derek chauvin's use of a knee on george floyd's neck was not part of their training. >> would it be appropriate and within training to hold a subject in that prone restrained position with the knee on the neck and a knee on the back for an extended period of time after the subject has stopped offering any resistance? >> no, sir. >> the or

wolf? adrienne broaddus, thank you very much. >>> let's go to clu right now where police have released more body cam video of the shooting of 16-year-old ma'khia bryant. we're hearing directly from ma'khia' family. what's the latest? >> hi, wolf. that's right. when it comes to that video, police have released several more videos but none more important than the first set of videos they released tuesday afternoon or tuesday evening, a few hours after the shooting of ma'khia bryant. in slow motion you could see the teenage girl with what aappeared to be a knife had her hand, right hand raised lunging at another young girl wedged against the car. that's really the video that tells the story. there have been questions about the use of force in this incident, whether or not the police officer who arrived on the scene who is now on paid administrative leave while independent investigation is fired out, whether he needed to fire his weapon. he shot ma'khia bryant several times. an officer is allow

>> good evening, wolf.e because the honest services fraud statute which has been the books for a while criminalizes anything that looks like a pay to play. it's a very broad statute. if you deprive your constituents of your honest services. the problem is in 2010 the u.s. supreme court limited that statute just quid pro quo bribery and kickbacks so investigators would have to show a direct quid pro quo especially since gaetz has been a longtime proponent of expanding medical marijuana laws. if he were not and suddenly shifted his position after the bahamas trip then they would have something, but from what i've seen so far, i don't think the reports that i've seen move the needle. >> how does this angle though of the investigation, dave, actually fit into congressman gaetz's other legal woes? >> you know, the trip is salacious, and the bahamas trip is also being used perhaps as part of the investigation into a violation of the mann act which is when you transport people across state lines for purposes of pr

wolf?were briefly detained at the pro-navalny protest earlier this morning along with some protests and other journalists. can you tell us what happened? >> yeah. i mean, look, the authorities, they allowed this protest to go on right outside the penal colony for several hours and then they just lost patience. they moved through the crowd of journalists and protesters and navalny supporters who had gathered there and just started putting people into the police bus and taking them away. one of them was anastasia dasilva, navalny's doctor who was spearheading this protest this evening. i was picked up along with my camera man jeff keel and put into the bus with a couple other journalists and taken to the police station and had documents checked, and three hours later we were set free and allowed to continue with our work, but, you know, it certainly was a sign of just how impatient the authorities can become when it comes to protesting the treatment of alexei navalny. >> very important. matth

>> yes, wolf.o they are one of the few criminal investigations investigated by the counter intelligence division. that's because they are foreign intelligence operations. it's not unusual for people in positions of power to be targeted. intelligence services are trying to use them to further their own interests. so when the fbi gives a warning, they're trying to do two things. first they're trying to neutralize any covert operations that the foreign government might be trying to do or by bringing it to light by making the relationship transparent. the second goal is to watch what the person does after, because if they continue that relationship, then they are doing that knowingly. that's really important for the violation. you can't investigate somebody or prosecute them if they were unwitting. you have to show they were willfully acting at the direction and control of a foreign principal. so his continuation of his activities would indicate that and they would not be at a point where they're doing

. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. it's going to be a little under two months before we learn what that sentence is going to be, and it's going to be a fight to see how many years he actually gets, which will come down to factors like his previous criminal history and the severity of this particular crime. and then that is going to be the next sort of level of accountability people will be watching very closely here. but it's not just about that. people look at this conviction as the beginning of a long process. they want this to be a long process and they say it is a process that is long overdue. >> find the defendant guilty. >> reporter: with the guilty verdict on all three charges, derek chauvin went from former minneapolis police officer to convicted murderer, whose new reality is new a prison cell, similar to this one. separate from the general population at a state prison about 25 miles outside of minneapolis. while in the city -- celebrations. >> we can finally breathe. >> reporter: from a community that didn't

last point, wolf.have an argument between the prosecutor who's apparently trying to justify the force and the family attorney, who says it didn't happen that way. we all should be able to evaluate the tape and draw conclusions for ourself. people don't trust the police, they don't trust the government. release the tape and make our own observation as to whether the force was proper and appropriate. >> anthony, give us your thought. >> it is the lack of transparency in this incident that's unacceptable. i am glad that the doj is also on top of that. once again, we're looking at a warrant resulting in the death of another minority in the united states of america. we need to rethink the value of these stat-driven drug arrests, rethink the tactics and training of all officers, because we're pouring billions of dollars into policing and, frankly, this isn't working. >> thank you very much. we'll obviously stay on top of this story. >>> coming up, a crematorium in india burning around the clock right now as

i am wolf blitzer in "the situation room." tonight, the mayor of brooklyn center, minnesota, is extending curfew, urging protesters to remain peaceful after the police killing of daunte wright. he says he plans to meet with wright's family tonight. this as now former police officer kim potter is now under arrest and charged with second degree manslaughter, three days after firing the shot that killed wright during a traffic stop. we're also following the murder trial of derek chauvin. a new defense witness blamed his death on a sudden cardiac event that contradicted multiple experts that cited lack of oxygen while chauvin's knee was on his neck for nine and a half minutes. the defense floating a theory that floyd may have gotten carbon monoxide poisoning while restrained near the squad car's exhaust. start our coverage in brooklyn center, minnesota. cnn national correspondent miguel marquez is on the scene for us. more than 3,000 national guard troops have been activated in the minneapolis area in part because of the serious t

i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." we're following a state of emergency after another black man was fatally confronted by police. authorities preparing to enforce a curfew that begins soon in the minneapolis area. the community already on edge as derek chauvin stands trial for the death of george floyd. the shooting death of 20-year-old dante wright is adding to the tension and to the outrage. police say it appears wright was accidentally shot during a traffic stop yesterday. they say an officer mistakenly drew a gun instead of a taser, this as the prosecution is winding down its murder case against derek chauvin. among the final witnesses, george floyd's brother, who broke down in tears, driving home their family's loss and their heartbreak. brian todd is covering the new and fatal police shooting of a black man in minnesota. that curfew begins in a couple of hours. what's the latest? >> reporter: an investigation is underway tonight. the streets are tense in the wake of the shooting. we have new information on how it

wolf?rian, thank you very much. >>> the trial in the death of george floyd has moved to its final phase. closing arguments are scheduled to begin monday. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. on this final day of testimony, we were actually a few words away from a mistrial. and that's basically because prosecutors wanted to add new data from blood gas tests done on george floyd basically as a rebuttal to suggestions that a factor in his death could have been carbon monoxide. the defense didn't get that data until too late, basically until their expert left the state. the judge even noted prosecutors were aware that this was going to come up. so, he denied the entry of that new data and said if it comes up in any way in front of the jury, he will be forced to declare a mistrial. so the questioning of this final, familiar witness had to be as precise as ever. >> your honor, the state of minnesota rests. >> mr. nelson, anything further? >> no, your honor. >> reporter: the stage is now set for long-

>> you know, wolf, i hope so. vaccinated but your life isn't going to change at all that's not a great incentive. we're learning more and more that these are highly effective vaccines. we know that being outdoors is so much safer than being indoors. giving people to freedom to go outdoors without their mask if they're vaccinated, i think that would encourage more people to step up. >> the cdc says that about 8% of the american public have actually missed their second dose of the pfizer and the moderna vaccines. they're supposed to get that second dose three or four weeks after their first. how troubling is that? >> i do find that worrisome. that number's been going up. earlier vaccine recipients had a much higher completion rate for their decade dose. the reason that's concerning is that we know with the first dose you get a pretty good level of those protective factors, the antibodies. but with that second dose, the level goes up. the belief is that with the second dose, you're going to get a much longer lasting

i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. dramatic new developments in the derek chauvin murder trial today. the medical examiner who conducted george floyd's autopsy says he stands by his ruling that it was a homicide. he did acknowledge a key theory put forward by the defense that floyd's drug use and heart problems played a role, but said they were not the direct cause. just before the medical examiner took the stand, the prosecution called on yet another forensic expert to testify that neither drugs nor health problems caused floyd's death. and we're also standing by for public remarks from the embattled congressman matt good faith s faith gaetz. let's get to senior national correspondent, sara sidner. she's covering the chauvin trial for us in minneapolis today. we heard important testimony from the medical examiner who conducted george floyd's autopsy. >> reporter: this is one of the most important witnesses. he's going to testify he was the one who did the autopsy on george floyd. and he was unequivocal in what he said

wolf? >> let me bring in elliott williams who is watching this, our legal analyst, former federal prosecutor. we've got to stay on the streets, she said. we've got to get more active. we've got to get more confrontational. we've got to make sure that they know we mean business. what did you make of how that came up at the very end after the jury already began deliberations? >> look, wolf, come on. this story has been front page news for the greater part of a year. movie stars, members of congress, presidents of the united states have commented on this trial. the idea that one member of congress's statement a few days before the jury starts deliberating is somehow going to prejudice the jury is nonsense. the law presumes that jurors can take in and internalize the instructions from the court and the court is instructed the jurors i guess twice at the beginning and at the end number one not to watch the news and number two anything they see to set aside and they were picked on account of thei

>> thank you, wolf.here's a wide gap between law enforcement and the comm community, many times in the communities that they serve. because i have this personal experience of having been affected by law enforcement in very traumatic ways, in ways that are unforgettable that no citizens of the united states should have to experience, because i bring that experience with me, it guides me in wanting to make sure that those voices that have been impacted by law enforcement are at the table when we're making decisions about leadership, decisions around how we address protesters and how protesters are treated. it has from my own personal experience informed me in some of the key steps that we took in my city. our city council obviously, you remember, passed a resolution that protects the right for people to protest, to gather and protest peacefully, protecting them from tear gas and rubber bullets and other less lethal forms of enforcement or tactics that law enforcement use. so i bring that personal experienc

>> no doubt whatsoever, wolf.only the first of many guilty pleas, but it is likely the first of many guilty pleas with cooperation. i would assume the vast majority of folks arrested at this riot are not hardened criminals with prior time in federal prison. these are people who are going to want to limit their possible prison exposure as much as they can. the best way to do that in the federal system is by providing information to the prosecutors the prosecutors can use to investigate and prosecute people at higher levels of culpability. >> does it surprise you that this suspect not only is cooperating, is not only pleading guilty but also cooperating with authorities? >> yeah. it doesn't surprise me at all. the fact that the guilty plea went through today tells me that this individual has already been meeting with prosecutors and agents and providing information over the last several weeks, maybe a month or more, and that investigators have taken that information and vetted it to confirm that he is telling them t

i'm going to hand it over to cnn's wolf blitzer right now. >> jake, thanks investment i'm wolf blitzer in the "the situation room." we're picking up our special coverage of the chauvin trial verdict. the joining us is anderson cooper and don lemon. i want to go to sara sidner first on the scene for us in minneapolis. we expect this verdict fairly soon, right, sara? looks like we have to reconnect with sara sidner. we'll try to reconnect with her momentarily. we're also -- we're also watching all of this unfold with don lemon and anderson cooper. let me bring in don lemon right now. don, you've got some thoughts on what we can anticipate. >> i do have some thoughts, wolf, and just so you know i've been in communicate with ben crump, the family attorney, and i asked him. i said is there -- what can i say right now? are you optimistic? are you cautious? who is with you? what's the mood? where are you? and he said philonise and i are in the courthouse. he said the family has faith that derek chauvin will be found criminally liable for killing george floyd, and, again, that's from ben crump

wolf. this has to do with deterrence protect influence operations the tac's on critical, cyber espionage. all of these i think the things he like to prevent if possible. so what could be done, this applies to brushes and focus today. this could apply to china, iran, north korea. what could be done to deter some of the cyber adversaries? and should we be looking at options outside of cyber including all of the above? and then mr. wolf if you want to comment on anything just said feel free to do so as well. >> sure it's a great question. i think you look at deterrence. there is a lot of what i mentioned as far as how do we prevent these types of attacks? sharing that information of the more collaborative relationship with the sectors going be part of that pre-think once look outside of cyber cannot prevent every attack. some of these nationstate actors are not persistent but sophisticated with this idea going to stop everyone. to look outside of cyber we really need to strengthen and look at

is. >> wolf, i think it's very powerful testimony.nd unfortunately, it's very unusual testimony to hear from the police chief and chain of command, testifying against a police officer and a department. but i'm hopeful that this is the tipping point for so many things. i'm hoping that it will be a precedence of police officers stepping beyond the blue wall of silence and telling the truth to make sure that people can have respect, that they, too, will tell the truth when people do things inappropriately. in our neighborhoods, they always want people to tell the truth. even when people who are close to you do something wrong, to tell the truth. so it's good that police officers are showing us in the community how to tell the truth when people do wrong. and so hopefully this precedence will not be something that is unusual. it will become the norm. >> finally, before i let you go, i know you have an important meeting coming up with federal authorities, with family members, community leaders. tell us about that. >> it's just simple. every

. >> that's right, wolf. we've heard from now more than 20 witnesses as part of this trial and as week two of testimony is underway. when you look at what we've heard over the totality of this, prosecutors are now shifting from what happened on may 25th, to the training that derek chauvin had prior to us even getting to that date. what's note worthy is we have heard from multiple senior level officers that have testified from the minneapolis police department, many of them saying they do not believe that chauvin's actions should have happened the way they did. now that includes the current minneapolis police chief. >> reporter: the start of week two of testimony and the current minneapolis police chief takes the stand in the trial of derek chauvin, his former officer. >> do you have a belief as to when this restraint, a restraint on the ground that you viewed, should have stopped? >> once mr. floyd had stopped resisting and certainly once he was in distress and trying to verbalize that. to continue to apply t

i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." we're standing by to hear from the mayor of brooklyn, minnesota where the police officer who shot and killed a young african-american man daunte wright has been charged with second-degree manslaughter. brooklyn center is bracing potentially for a fourth night of unrest as protests against the shooting have turned violent. and meanwhile jurors in the trial of derek chauvin heard medical testimony for the defense who suggested that george floyd died from a sudden cardiac event and possible carbon monoxide poisoning from a nearby idling police car but not as a result of chauvin kneel on his neck for more than nine minutes and president biden says it's time to end america's longest war. he's announced that the last u.s. troops will leave afghanistan by september 11th, 20 years after the u.s. and its allies launched the war in response to the 9/11 terror attacks. a lot coming up on that, but, first, let's go straight to brooklyn center and minnesota. cnn's adrienne broaddus is joining us r

>> i think it's a devastating blow, wolf. as devastating as this is for the defense, because this witness was credible, he explained it. he was very professorial. but he also spoke in simple terms. it was dreadful testimony for the family. this is what we've been waiting for, right? this is what 92 pounds of pressure on someone's neck does when you're faceplanting into the ground where you can't catch a breath. i heard testimony about air hunger. look at how descriptive that word is, those two words by themselves are, hungry for air. when you're hungry for food, you can wait for days. you can't wait. you only have minutes before you lose consciousness if you don't get air. this was devastating testimony today. >> this doctor, this expert witness, also described the moment the life went out of george floyd's body. he opponented t epointed to the flickering of his eyes. how is the floyd family doing after that kind of really powerful, awful testimony? >> well, i spoke to the family after today's testimony. you know, besides tha

wolf was saying. but in and get much to talk about and that we do need more the norms we need our allies to help us to support those. just like we were talking about a crane on last thursday, we need that sort of local sports from our allies to reports norms. and once the russians had exposed the 2018, it is as far as embedding malware. we need to call that out. name and shame and identify it and stick with our allies and not accepting the sort of behavior as something that we will allow russia to continue to stretch that boundaries they have in many of their activities and domains. as weas see here today. thank you. >> i think the election security question first i think that we will probably continue to see attempts to interfere in the u.s. elections. and obviously, somewhat successful in 2016 can agree and agree with the doctor that no very successful is targeting into structure in 2020. i did not happen by happenstance, that's a result of a lot of hard work not only by the systems and the relation

wolf. >> stand by at the white house. chief national security correspondent. jim, you and i had a chance to speak to retired general russell honore in the last hour. let me play this clip. >> capitol police responded, they stopped him, the system worked. the transition we have to make in our minds that the capitol is a target, many members challenge the recommendations, some of the recommendations we made in terms of barriers and hardening of the capitol while keeping the capitol open to the public. the challenge was they would tell me, hey, we've gone to the skiff, john. we're not seeing any threats to the capitol. we've got to accept the fact that 24/7 the capitol is a threat to domestic, foreign and criminals who might want to attack the center of our leadership of the united states. they have to be ready 24/7. the capitol police have to be ready at 1:00 in the day, as they were today, or 1:00 tomorrow morning. they've got to be prepared to protect that capitol. right now we are blessed to have the national guard there

and they're somehow is that type of thinking, but really if we understand lone wolf -- if we work to break down thing my of the lone wolf we'll also understand how systems are in play and also how organizational tack takes and social media comes into play, too because very often the lone wolf myth will only cause it to devalue and essentially minimize the actual scope and threat of the problem, which i know that sounds perhaps counterintuitive given what we now of lone wolf this the lone wolf myth criminalizes muslim americans again if we lochte undercurrent of islamophobia within the security agencies in this country from the federal level to the local level. and how islamophobia has been leveraged to construct and support these security agencies, that's what we seal. we see every muslim is going to have this kernel of violence that only needed to be cat liesed by a certain unphone factor, and then every muslim is violent and the lone wolf is in the applicable to white nationalists. they've may change post january 6th but i highly doubt it. either way i discuss in the book the paral

i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." we're tracking key developments in the derek chauvin murder trial. new testimony echoing the growing chorus of witnesses who say chauvin used excessive force. the prosecution once again leaned heavily on police officers to testify against chauvin, including one expert witness who said chauvin used deadly force in a situation where no force was needed at all. he also told the court that floyd did not pose a threat to police or to the bystanders. let's go to sara sidner. she's covering the trial for us in minneapolis. the prosecution one against turned to law enforcement officers to bolster their argument that chauvin used excessive force against george floyd. >> reporter: that's right. there have been nine minneapolis police officers, both current and former, including the police chief, who have testified for the prosecution in this trial, who was accused murdering george floyd. on day 8 of testimony, we saw more police officers taking the stand against former police officer derek chau

>> you know, we reflect a lot on that, wolf. i think there are a lot of people who are rightfully proud of the fact that we were vocal, that we fought so hard, that we came together in unification. we made it clear to the world that what happened to george floyd was wrong and that this can't continue to happen. so we thought we made a lot of progress, but as i've said before, those of us patting ourselves on the back for any progress can put our hands away. before we could even get through the historic murder trial of derek chauvin, another black man was wrongly killed by a white police officer in minnesota. so there is so much work left to be done, wolf. >> in the immediate future, the next few days, it's going to be rather tense both in minneapolis and brooklyn center. i guess you're gearing up for that as well. >> you know, wolf, there is a moment when i was worried that i was going to get to my office on time to see you tonight, because i got stuck behind a caravan of humvees. our city does not look like anything that i can

there's no such thing as a loan wolf. recent work so hard to dismantle the myths in the course of the book until we understand as a system as a worldview that engages with other like-minded people and share propaganda and also recruit will not be able to understand and come to terms with white nationalism. post 911, i'm not sure the question is post 911 this line of discourse and fear mongering are still somehow is that type of thinking. if we work to break down also understand how systems are at play. tactics in social media comes into play two. the loan wolf myth scope or threat of the problem. the loan wolf has served to do is criminalize most of america again. security agencies in the federal level to the local level is been leveraged to construct and support the security agencies. that is what we see. every muslim kernel of violence that needs to be by unknown factors in every muslim is inherently violent. the idea of the loan wolf is not applicable that may change post january 6 but i highly doubt it. either way i d

i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." the second week of the derek chauvin murder trial is now under way. we just heard from perhaps the highest profile witness yet, the minneapolis police chief arredondo who fired the officer chauvin soon after george floyd's death. during several hours of testimony the chief told the court that chauvin absolutely violated his department's neck restraint policy during the arrest and said chauvin's use of force was not part of the training. we also heard a very important analysis from the emergency room physician who treated floyd at the hospital. the doctor refuted claims from the defense team that floyd died of a drug overdose instead of agreeing with the prosecution that he was most likely killed by a lack of oxygen. we're going back to the trial now and on the stand is dr. katie blackwell of the minneapolis police department. she's being questioned by the prosecution. let's listen in. >> and minneapolis police departmental policy, correct? >> correct. >> for in service whereas the aca
