LIVE: Ragged President Donald Trump attends day 3 of hush money trial in NYC

THE LETTERS. OTHER TOLD FRANKLY, TO SHUT UP. BOEING EMPLOYEES, PAST AND PRESENT, SOUND THE ALARM. AND IF YOU'RE WAGERING ON HOW MANY PLAYERS WILL BE BLAMED FOR GAMBLING, MAYBE TAKE THE OVER EVERY LEAGUE HAS A PARTNERSHIP. AND ADS ARE NOW EVERYWHERE.

THE NBA CALLS FOUL BUT RAISES QUESTIONS FOR THE ENTIRE SPORTS LANDSCAPE. >> AND FROM ABC NEWS, THIS IS STORE HERE. I'M BRAD MIELKE. IT WAS BARELY A WEEK AGO THE ARIZONA STATE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT SHORT OF A STANDARD.

LIKE ROE V. WADE, THERE WAS ONLY ONE STATE LAW ON THE BOOKS THAT COULD CURRENTLY GOVERN ABORTIONS. THAT LAW, THEY SAY, IS FROM 1864. >> OUTRAGE FROM ARIZONA'S DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR. >> KATIE HOBBS DO THE RIGHT.

THING RIGHT NOW. AND REPEAL THIS 1864 BAN. FOR THE LAST WEEK, MOST OF THE ARIZONA STATE LAWMAKERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE HAVE SHARED BASICALLY THE SAME MESSAGE ON THAT, THAT IT'S DUMB. IT'S DUMB.

THEY SAY THAT OUR GUIDING STATUTE ON ABORTION SHOULD BE A LAW FROM BEFORE WE WERE A STATE FOR WOMEN HAD THE RIGHT TO VOTE. DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING THIS. REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING THIS. VOTERS ARE SAYING THIS. AND YET FOR THE LAST WEEK,.

REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO GET TOGETHER WITH DEMOCRATS AT THE STATE CAPITOL AND REPEAL THAT 1864 LAW. THEY EFFECTIVELY FLED TOWN FOR A LONG WEEKEND WHILE WOMEN'S GROUPS BEGGED FOR ANSWERS. WELL, YESTERDAY, LAWMAKERS.

ARRIVED BACK IN PHOENIX TO VOTE ON A POTENTIAL REPEAL AND NOT BUT TWICE IT FAILED. ABC'S ELIZABETH SCHULZE JOINS US FROM PHOENIX THIS MORNING. >> ELIZABETH, I KNOW THAT THIS 18 64 LAW LIKE THERE'S STILL A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE IT GO INTO EFFECT BUT I MEAN THIS.

IS STILL THE RULING THAT LIKE ALMOST NO ABORTIONS WOULD BE ALLOWED HERE THIS 1864 LAW. BRAD THAT WAS A CIVIL WAR ERA LAW THAT PREVENTS WOMEN FROM GETTING ABORTION. AND EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE EXCEPT IN THE CASE TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A MOTHER IS STILL.

BASICALLY UPHELD. LAWMAKERS COULDN'T GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER TO REPEAL THE LAW DESPITE VERY CONCENTRATED EFFORTS BY DEMOCRATS AND ARIZONA STATE LEGISLATURE. >> THIS ISSUE IS VERY SIMPLE. >> WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY WAS DEMOCRATS TEEING UP WHAT THEY.

THOUGHT WOULD BE A VOTE TO BASICALLY REVERSE THE DECISION FROM THE STATE SUPREME COURT. >> UNDER THE ARIZONA STATE CONSTITUTION, 31 MEMBERS OF THIS BODY ARE REQUIRED TO ADOPT A TEMPORARY RULE, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING.

>> THEY WERE HOPEFUL THAT THEY'D BE ABLE TO GET TWO REPUBLICANS FROM THE HOUSE TO COME TO THEIR SIDE, REPEAL THE LAW, AND THEN TO REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE TO DO THE SAME THING. >> WE ARE THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE.

WANT THIS REPEALED. >> IT IS TIME TO HAVE A VOTE. WELL, WHAT HAPPENED? >> NOT THAT CLERK RECORD THE VOTE. 38, 30 DAYS. >> THE RULING OF THE CHAIR IS UPHELD. >> THEY COULDN'T EVEN GET A.

VOTE TOGETHER. WE SAW A BUNCH OF PROCEDURAL MOTIONS AND ESSENTIALLY THE HOUSE SPEAKER, WHO IS A REPUBLICAN, CAME OUT AND SAID THE LAST THING WE SHOULD BE DOING TODAY IS RUSHING A BILL TO THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

HE EXPLICITLY SAID THAT ANY LEGISLATION DEALING WITH THE 1864 BAN NEEDED TO GO THROUGH A MORE EXTENSIVE PROCESS. THE COURTS HAVE NOT EVEN HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE IF THE PRE PRE-ROLL LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL, AND THAT PAVED THE PATH FOR REPUBLICANS.

IN THE HOUSE TO FALL IN LINE. ONLY ONE GOP LAWMAKER WAS WILLING TO GO WITH DEMOCRATS IN SAYING THAT THIS BAN SHOULD BE REPEALED DESPITE THE INITIAL BIPARTISAN OUTRAGE OVER IT. DESPITE THE FACT THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, BRAD HAS SAID THAT THIS LAW GOES TOO.

FAR. HERE WE ARE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE LEGISLATURE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. AND RIGHT NOW THAT 1864 BAN IS STILL UPHELD. >> WHY? BECAUSE YOU JUST MENTIONED IT.

YOURSELF, RIGHT? FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS THIS RULING HAS GONE TOO FAR. YOU'VE GOT OTHER TOP REPUBLICANS FROM AROUND ARIZONA BEING LIKE THIS LAW SEEMS SILLY. >> SO, I MEAN, WHERE ARE THE NO VOTES COMING FROM?.

>> WHAT IS THE RATIONALE? WELL, AND THIS IS WHY IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO COME TO STATE CAPITALS AND ACTUALLY TALK TO THESE LAWMAKERS AND SAY ,WHAT ARE YOU THINKING HERE? SO WE PRESSED SEVERAL REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS AND SAID, IS THIS REALLY WHERE.

YOUR VOTERS ARE? IS THIS REALLY WHAT THE LEADERSHIP IN YOUR PARTY WANTS TO DO WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUE OF ABORTION? >> AND FRANKLY, BRAD, EACH OF THE PEOPLE WE TALKED TO SAID, YES, ARIZONA IS A PRO-LIFE STATE.

THAT LAW WAS PUT INTO PLACE BY PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN THE SANCTITY OF LIFE. >> WE TALKED TO A STATE REPUBLICAN SENATOR, DAVE FARNSWORTH. HE'S AN OUTSPOKEN ANTI-ABORTION ACTIVIST. WE HAVE THE BEST LAW POSSIBLE.

ON THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW. THE 1864 LAWS, IF THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE. >> YES. THE FACT IS THAT THEY, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW, ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT BACKLASH WHEN IT COMES TO NOVEMBER. THEY DIDN'T SEEM WORRIED WHEN.

I ASKED IF THIS IS AGAINST THE WILL OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> LEADERS IN YOUR OWN PARTY, INCLUDING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, SAY THIS BAN GOES TOO. >> I BELIEVE I HEARD PRESIDENT TRUMP SAY ARIZONA.

NEEDS TO FIX THIS. HOWEVER HE SAID IT. HE RIGHTFULLY SAYS THAT THIS IS A STATES' RIGHTS ISSUE. EACH STATE HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THEIR OWN LAWS AND FOR NOW, THEY'RE WILLING TO KIND OF SLOW ROLL THIS PROCESS.

>> WHAT REPUBLICANS DID SAY IS THAT VOTERS ARE GOING TO DECIDE THIS ISSUE IN NOVEMBER, AND THAT GETS TO THIS QUESTION OF ABORTION BEING ON THE BALLOT HERE IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA IN THE FALL. >> YET WHAT IS NEXT NOW IF THIS IS FAILING NOW THIS WEEK?.

I MEAN, IS THERE ARE THEIR NEXT STEPS HERE AT ALL? >> RIGHT. SO THE STATE SENATE, WHERE THERE ARE REPUBLICANS WHO SEEM MORE OPEN TO GOING ALONG WITH DEMOCRATS, DID INTRODUCE ITS OWN LEGISLATION THAT WOULD BASICALLY REPEAL THE BAN.

AND THEY'RE TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. THAT'S GOING TO TAKE COUPLE OF DAYS TO WORK THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. THE QUESTION WOULD STILL BE, COULD THAT PASS THE HOUSE? ARIZONA, OF COURSE, HAS A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR.

SHE'S OUTSPOKEN AGAINST THE BAN. SHE WANTS THIS TO GET DONE QUICKLY. >> THEY SHOULD LISTEN TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. NINE OUT OF TEN ARIZONA IS WHO SUPPORT ACCESS TO ABORTION AND DO THE RIGHT THING SO.

THAT WE ARE NOT LIVING UNDER THAT CONFUSION. >> IN THE MEANTIME, FOR NOW, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THE STATE HERE HAS SAID SHE WON'T ENFORCE THE BAN. SO SHE HAS SAID THE SOONEST IT COULD TAKE EFFECT IS JUNE, BUT THAT'S NOT THAT FAR AWAY.

FOR SOME ABORTION PROVIDERS. THESE CASES HAVE BEEN IN THE COURTS AND WE'VE BEEN AWAITING DECISIONS, NOT KNOWING WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO COME. WE ACTUALLY WENT TO A CLINIC IN PHOENIX YESTERDAY. WE TALKED TO DR. DESHAWN TAYLOR OYLER.

SHE TOLD US THAT SHE IS TELLING PATIENTS THAT THEY SHOULD BE PREPARING THAT SOON. THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET AN AT HER CLINIC IF THEY NEED ONE. REALLY HELPING PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WE NEED YOU TO SHOW UP TO THIS.

APPOINTMENT BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WILL MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND NOT SHOW UP. AND SO THAT'S VERY CONCERNING WHEN IT'S LIKE, OKAY, SOMEBODY ELSE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT ABORTION THAT YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR.

SHE ALSO SAID THAT THAT COULD ULTIMATELY FORCE HER CLINIC TO SHUT DOWN BECAUSE THAT'S THE MAIN TYPE OF REPRODUCTIVE CARE THAT THEY OFFER. >> I MESSAGE TO LAWMAKER IS THAT ANYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST REPEAL IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THIS, AND I HOPE.

THAT THE VOTERS WILL MAKE THEIR DISPLEASURE KNOWN AT THE BALLOT BOX IN NOVEMBER. >> SO NOW YOU HAVE ACTIVISTS PUTTING FORWARD BASICALLY DUELING BALLOT MEASURES TO PUT THIS DIRECTLY TO VOTERS IN THE FALL. ONE WOULD CALL FOR.

A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO AN ABORTION. THE OTHER WOULD TRY TO PUT MORE LIMITATIONS ON IT. AND WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT HERE, BRAD, IS ARIZONA ISN'T THE ONLY STATE WHERE THIS IS GOING TO BE UP TO VOTERS. WE KNOW UP TO 14 STATES WILL.

INCLUDE ABORTION MEASURES ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER. >> WE HAVE SEEN ALREADY THAT WHEN ABORTION IS ON THE BALLOT, IT DRIVES TURNOUT. AND IN EVERY INSTANCE THAT IT'S BEEN ON THE BALLOT SINCE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE,.

THE ABORTION RIGHTS POSITION HAS WON. SO THIS IS REALLY CRITICAL WHEN IT COMES TO TURNOUT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT LAWMAKERS ARE AWARE OF. BUT FOR NOW, BRAD, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS HERE SAY THEY'RE NOT WORRIED, WHICH.

IS WHY IT'S BEEN SO WILD TO WATCH THIS RESPONSE FROM HIGH RANKING REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE, BECAUSE ORIGINALLY SOME OF THEM HAD SAID THIS SHOULD BE THE LAW. THEN AS THIS RULING CAME IN, THEY WERE LIKE, WELL, THIS IS BAD.

>> NOW THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY SAYING, LET'S WAIT AND SEE, PLEASE. >> ELIZABETH SCHULZE THERE IN PHOENIX. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BRAD. YOU REMEMBER EARLIER THIS MONTH WHEN A BOEING ENGINEER CAME.

FORWARD AS A WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMING THAT THE COMPANY HAD BEEN PRODUCING PLANES THAT COULD CONCEIVABLY FALL APART AFTER YEARS OF USE? WELL, YESTERDAY, CONGRESS HEARD TESTIMONY NOT ONLY FROM HIM, BUT FROM ANOTHER FORMER BOEING ENGINEER.

AS PART OF HEARINGS RELATED TO THE AIRPLANE MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY RECORD, LET'S GO TO ABC SAM SWEENEY, WHO COVERS TRANSPORTATION FOR US. THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT HEARINGS HERE, RIGHT? >> I MEAN, WHAT WERE THEY ABOUT?.

WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM THEM? WELL, THE FIRST HEARING WAS ABOUT A REPORT THAT HAD BEEN DONE AND RELEASED IN FEBRUARY ABOUT THE SAFETY CULTURE AT BOEING AND THINGS THAT THEY CAN IMPROVE ON. AND THERE WAS THREE WITNESSES THAT EXPLAINED TO SENATORS.

WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED. AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IS THAT BOEING HAS WORK TO DO. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS NOT EXACTLY A PROMOTION OF OF PEOPLE SORT OF STOPPING THE LINE OR RAISING THESE ISSUES. I MEAN, IS THERE EVIDENCE THERE.

WAS ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE, THAT THERE WAS RETRIBUTION, THAT PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY PENALIZED FOR RAISING SOME SAFETY CONCERNS? >> YES, THAT'S CORRECT. WE HEARD REPORTS WE HAD SEVERAL REPORTS OF PEOPLE THAT THAT FELT THAT THEY WERE TRANSFERRED.

OR DIDN'T GET THE RAISE THAT THEY WERE EXPECTING. >> NOW, SOME OF THE FRONT LINE EMPLOYEES WEREN'T COMFORTABLE COMING FORWARD WITH SOME OF THEIR ISSUES OR SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY SAW AND THAT BOEING HAS TO ADDRESS IT.

BUT THE SECOND HEARING IS WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT, AND THAT IS THIS WHISTLEBLOWER WHO JUST CAME FORWARD CLAIMING THAT THE SEVEN, EIGHT, SEVEN, ONE OF BOEING'S BEST SELLING JETS COULD FALL APART AFTER YEARS OF SERVICE, EXTENDED USE BECAUSE.

OF THE WAY THAT THE FUSELAGE IS CONNECTED IN A RUSH TO ADDRESS THE BOTTLENECKS IN PRODUCTION. BOEING HAD PROBLEMS PUSHING PIECES TOGETHER WITH THE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO MAKE THEM APPEAR THAT THE GAPS DON'T EXIST, EVEN THOUGH THEY EXIST.

>> THE CLAIMS ARE THAT THE WAY THAT THAT FUSELAGE WORKS IS IT'S MADE UP OF MULTIPLE PARTS. AND DURING MANUFACTURING, BOEING PUTS THOSE PIECES OF THE FUSELAGE AND CONNECTS THEM TOGETHER. AND WHAT HE IS SAYING IS THAT.

THERE ARE SPACES OR GAPS IN BETWEEN WHERE THEY CONNECT IT. AND WE THINK THAT YOU MAY THINK A LARGE A LARGE AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SIZE OF TWO HUMAN HAIRS. I FOUND GAPS IN THE SPECIFICATION THAT WERE NOT.

PROPERLY 98.7% OF THE TIME. >> AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS COME UP. >> BACK IN 2020, BOEING WAS ALERTED TO POTENTIAL ISSUES WITHIN THE SEVEN, EIGHT, SEVEN FLEET AND THEY ACTUALLY HALTED DELIVERIES FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS BECAUSE.

OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. AND THEY COMBED THROUGH PIECE BY PIECE. THEY DEVELOPED NEW TECHNOLOGY AND THEY CAME UP WITH A FIX IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FAA, WHO APPROVED THE NEW PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE PLANES ARE SAFE, SO MUCH SO THAT THEY.

TESTED THE FUSELAGE SIZE OF THE PLANE AND SIMULATED 165,000 TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS TO SEE IF THE FUSELAGE WOULD HOLD UP. THAT'S THREE TIMES MORE THAN THE AVERAGE SEVEN, EIGHT, SEVEN WILL DO IN ITS ENTIRE LIFETIME. AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANY.

PROBLEMS. >> THAT'S ACTUALLY THE LONGEST OF EIGHT TESTS OF ANY COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE THAT'S EVER BEEN. >> AND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS THAT THIS PLANE IS MADE OF CARBON FIBER. >> IT'S NOT METAL LIKE PREVIOUS.

GENERATIONS OF AIRPLANES THAT CAN EXPERIENCE METAL FATIGUE AND BREAK APART LIKE WE'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS ON SOME PLANES. THIS IS CARBON FIBER AND IT REALLY JUST DOESN'T BREAK LIKE METAL ONCE METAL ON OR OLDER STYLE PLANE BREAKS.

IT CAN, YOU KNOW, UNRAVEL LIKE A ZIPPER, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THIS CARBON FIBER JET. >> SO ESSENTIALLY, THE WHISTLE BLOWER IN THE SECOND HEARING IS BRINGING FORWARD A CLAIM THAT YOU'RE SAYING IT'S KIND OF ALREADY BEEN NOTED BY BOEING.

AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. DID HE BRING ANY EVIDENCE ALONG WITH HIM? YEAH, MORE OR LESS THAT THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. >> AND WHAT IS SO STRIKING IS THAT DURING THIS HEARING, NEITHER SENATORS NOR WITNESSES BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT BOEING.

STOPPED DELIVERIES AND SLOWED PRODUCTION FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, COSTING BOEING $6 BILLION. NOBODY BROUGHT THAT UP. AND HE DID NOT BRING ANY EVIDENCE OR SHOW ANY EVIDENCE DURING THIS HEARING. AND LAST WEEK, WHEN HE FIRST.

CAME FORWARD IN A ZOOM PRESS CONFERENCE WITH HIS ATTORNEYS, HE SAID AND THE LAWYER SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE GIVING US EVIDENCE NEXT WEEK AS OUR CLIENT ALLEGES, AND HAS PROOF YOU IN USING BOEING'S OWN DATA. THESE PLANES ARE BEING BUILT IMPROPERLY AND WILL LIKELY.

EXPERIENCE FATIGUE OR FAILURE. EARLIER IN THEIR LIFE. >> AND WE DID NOT GET THAT. BUT HIS LAWYERS DO TELL ABC NEWS THAT THE EVIDENCE IS THERE, IT IS DOCUMENTED AND IT HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO THE COMMITTEE. WE'VE REACHED OUT TO THE.

COMMITTEE TO SEE IF THEY WILL BE RELEASING THAT AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE A DECISION. >> NOW, SAM, I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN ANOTHER BOEING WHISTLEBLOWER DIED IN BETWEEN DEPOSITION APPEARANCES. >> RIGHT.

NOBODY WAS CLAIMING THERE WAS ANY FOUL PLAY, AND YET THERE WERE LOTS OF RAISED EYEBROWS BECAUSE OF THE TIMING OF IT ALL. >> AND YESTERDAY, IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE THE SENATORS WERE WHAT, LIKE KIND OF ASKING AT THIS WHISTLEBLOWER WAS SAFE.

ARE THERE CONCERNS HERE? WELL, HE SAYS THAT, YOU KNOW, HE'S FACED RETALIATION AFTER HE BROUGHT UP THESE CLAIMS. I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT I HAVE RAISED THESE ISSUES OVER THREE YEARS. I WAS IGNORED. I WAS TOLD NOT TO CREATE.

NOT TO CREATE DELAYS OF A PHONE. FRANKLY, TO SHUT UP. >> IN FACT, HE SAYS HE WAS MOVED FROM THE SEVEN, EIGHT, SEVEN PRODUCTION LINE TO THE 777 PRODUCTION LINE MENTIONED. ALSO A THREAT TO YOUR PHYSICAL SAFETY.

SOMEONE SAYING, YES, SOMEONE SOMEONE TOLD ME THEY'RE GOING TO KILL. >> THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE LIKE ME IF YOU SAID SOMETHING. BUT YOU SAID HE ALSO SAYS THAT HE FOUND A NAIL IN HIS TIRE AND THAT HE TOOK IT TO THE.

SHOP. AND HE BELIEVES THAT SOMEONE AT BOEING PUT THAT NAIL IN HIS TIRE. BUT HE SAYS HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY PROOF OF THAT. HE ALSO SAYS THAT HIS BOSS CALLED HIM ON HIS PERSONAL CELL PHONE AND BERATED HIM FOR.

40 MINUTES. THEY CALL YOU ON YOUR PERSONAL WALL TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE, THEY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AND THEY CAN HURT YOU. THESE ARE THE TYPES OF RETALIATION THAT HE SAYS HE IS FACING.

WHAT IS BOEING SAYING ABOUT ALL THIS? >> WELL, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, BOEING HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN UNDER FIRE AND THEY HAVE BEEN TRANSPARENT THAT THEY HAVE ISSUES THEY NEED TO WORK.

THROUGH THEM. >> THEY'VE BEEN HAVING FACTORY STAND DOWNS. BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, THEY ARE FIERCELY DEFENDING THEIR PRODUCT LINE SEVEN, EIGHT, SEVEN AND THE 777. >> SO MUCH SO THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ALASKA.

INCIDENT, THEY BROUGHT A NUMBER OF REPORTERS TO THEIR SOUTH CAROLINA TO MEET WITH THEIR MOST SENIOR ENGINEERS. TAKE US ON THE SEVEN, EIGHT, SEVEN AND SHOW US EXACTLY WHY THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE. YOU KNOW, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD INSPECTED HUNDREDS.

AND HUNDREDS OF PLANES, THE OLDEST PLANE BEING, YOU KNOW, IN THE AIR SINCE 2012 OF MORE THAN 16,000 FLIGHTS, HAS SHOWN NO SIGNS OF ANY OF THESE ISSUES. YOU ALSO HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT BOEING IS BEGGING ITS EMPLOYEES TO COME FORWARD.

WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY, YOU KNOW, SIGNAL THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THEIR AIRPLANES OR A PART OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. AND THEY ARE GETTING A SURGE OF REPORTS. NORMALLY, IN AN AVERAGE YEAR, THEY GET ABOUT 400 A YEAR.

THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THEY ARE GETTING MORE THAN 400 A MONTH AND THEY ARE GOING THROUGH THEM EACH WEEK AND THEY ARE METICULOUSLY COMBING THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ADDRESSED AND THAT THERE'S NOT A LARGER PROBLEM THAT, YOU KNOW, WOULD HAVE TO INVOLVE.

THE FAA. >> YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE LIKE THE PLUGS ARE ONE THING. DOOR PLUGS FLYING OUT OF PLANES AND DEPRESSURIZED CABINS ARE ONE THING. THIS, ACCORDING TO BOEING, IS VERY MUCH ANOTHER THAT THEY CAN COUNTER VERY EASILY.

AND YET THERE'S THIS WHOLE QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER EMPLOYEES FEEL FREE TO COME FORWARD. THAT, I GUESS, WILL BE THE QUESTION HERE. SAM SWEENEY COVERING TRANSPORTATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. >> IT WAS A BIG DEAL WHEN BASEBALL SUPERSTAR SHOHEI OHTANI CAME FORWARD RECENTLY TO SAY THAT HIS INTERPRETER HAD BEEN CAUGHT STEALING MONEY FOR PAYING GAMBLING DEBTS TO AN ILLEGAL CALIFORNIA.

IT HAS BEEN STEALING MONEY FROM MY ACCOUNT AND HAS TOLD LIES. FOR ONE, IT WAS BIG BECAUSE OHTANI IS ARGUABLY THE FACE OF HIS SPORT. BUT THE BIGGER ISSUE HERE MIGHT BE THAN PRO SPORTS NOT AFFORD A GAMBLING CRISIS RIGHT NOW. NOW THAT SPORTS BETTING.

IS LEGAL IN SO MANY STATES WITH SO MUCH MONEY FLOWING THROUGH, IT, THE IDEA THAT A PLAYER WOULD BE BETTING ON HIS LEAGUE PRESENTS A LOT OF UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS. WELL, IN RECENT DAYS THAT INTERPRETER HAS SAID EMPHATICALLY OHTANI.

HIMSELF KNEW NOTHING OF HIS GAMBLING HABIT. FEDERAL AUTHORITIES HAVE MADE NO ACCUSATION OF OHTANI HIMSELF. BUT THEN YESTERDAY, JUST AS THE PRO-BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS ARE GETTING UNDERWAY, THE NBA ANNOUNCED THAT IT'S ISSUING.

A LIFETIME BAN ON ONE OF ITS PLAYERS. THE REASON? BETTING ON BASKETBALL. >> LET'S BRING IN SWAN TAI, SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER FOR OUR PARTNERS AT ESPN. SO, I MEAN, I FOLLOW SPORTS A LITTLE AND I'VE NEVER HEARD.

OF THIS GUY. WHO IS JONTAY PORTER AND WHAT IS HE ACCUSED OF DOING? RIGHT. SO JONTAY PORTER IS A CENTER, OR I SHOULD SAY WAS A CENTER FOR THE TORONTO RAPTORS. >> AND HE IS ACCUSED OF BETTING ON NBA GAMES.

>> THAT IS A BIG NO NO. AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, HE'S ACCUSED OF PROVIDING BETTORS WITH INFORMATION ABOUT HIS OWN HEALTH, HOW HE WAS FEELING AND WHETHER OR NOT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. AND SO IT'S ACCUSED THAT HE IF.

OTHER BETTORS HAD THIS INFORMATION, THIS INSIDE INFORMATION AND PLACED AS MUCH AS 80,000 DOLLARS ON SOME BETS THAT WOULD FEATURE PORTER STATISTICS LIKE, OH, I THINK HE'LL MAKE THIS MANYOINTS AND THE BETTORS LIKE I THINK HE'LL MAKE ZERO POINTS TODAY.

>> EXACTLY EXACTLY. AND IN BOTH OF THOSE OCCASIONS, PORTER IS IS SAID TO HAVE PULLED HIMSELF OUT OF THE GAME DUE TO INJURY OR ILLNESS. SO THAT'S WHY THE NBA LAUNCHED ITS INVESTIGATION. THERE WERE SOME THEY WERE FLAGGED, THESE UNUSUAL BETS.

THAT WERE PLACED ON DRAFTKINGS . AND THEN THEY INVESTIGATED IT AND THEY FOUND THAT PORTER, A PLACE AT LEAST 13 BETS ON NBA GAMES USING ASSOCIATE ACCOUNTS. >> AND SO THERE IS A BIG TABOO . >> BETTING ON NBA GAMES.

HOW SIGNIFICANT WAS THIS TO THE NBA LIKE? WE DON'T SEE LIFETIME BANS FOR ALMOST ANYTHING EXCEPT THIS EXACT SCENARIO. >> I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S THE THING. ALL THESE PEOPLE I'VE SPOKEN TO IN THE PAST HAVE REALLY.

WORRIED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME AND UNDERMINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME. >> THAT IS WHAT BOTH PRO AND I WOULDN'T CALL THEM ANTI, BUT THOSE WHO ADVOCATE FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF IT FOR MORE REGULATION WOULD SAY THAT THEY REALLY WORRY.

ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THIS SPORT. SO FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN IS A BIG DEAL THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY UNDERMINE A FAN'S VIEW OF HOW LEGITIMATE THIS GAME IS IS A BIG CONCERN FOR ANYONE ANYWHERE. >> AND MORE BROADLY,.

I'M THINKING SPORTS BETTING BECOMES A BIGGER PART OF THE CULTURE. LIKE IT'S LEGAL IN SO MANY PLACES. >> I KNOW SO MANY, PARTICULARLY YOUNG MEN WHO LIKE, JUST WHIP THEIR PHONE OUT OF THEIR POCKET AND LASER QUICK FIVE OR TEN OR.

$15 BETS. >> DOES THAT I MEAN, IT MAKES SENSE THAT I GET US WHY YOUNG GUYS WHO COME IN TO SPORTS WOULD LIKE BE BETTING THEMSELVES. HOW MUCH IS THE CULTURE OF BETTING IMPACTING WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW?.

>> IT'S LEGAL IN 38 STATES, PLUS THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND IT EACH STATE AND DISTRICT HAS ITS OWN REGULATORY SCHEME, WHICH MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT WHO WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WHICH STATE. >> IN TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION,.

I ACTUALLY SPOKE TO A PSYCHOLOGIST, PSYCHIATRIST IN IN AT UCLA WHO STUDIES THIS, DR. TIMOTHY FONG, AND HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE TREATS PATIENTS NOW WHO ARE ATHLETES WHO FEEL THE STRESS OF THIS, WHO SAY THAT THIS SPORTS BETTING HAS TAKEN THE JOY OUT OF PLAYING.

THE GAME FOR THE ATHLETES OR FOR THE ATHLETES? FOR THE ATHLETES. AND I THINK PART OF THAT, YOU SEE THE NCAA TRYING TO BAN PROP BETS IN THAT AS WELL. YOU KNOW, LIKE THESE ARE REAL IMPACTFUL. YOU KNOW, THEY GOT MY TELEPHONE.

NUMBER AND WERE SENDING ME, YOU KNOW CRAZY MESSAGES ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE I LIVE AND MY KIDS AND ALL THAT STUFF. >> SO IT IS A DANGEROUS GAME. YOU ARE DEALING WITH SOCIAL MEDIA FANS YELLING AT THEM THIS THE SHOTS AND PROP BETS BEING LIKE THESE MORE ELABORATE.

THINGS OF LIKE, I KNOW HOW MANY FREE THROWS THIS PERSON IS GOING TO MAKE. >> SO ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS RANDOM FREE THROW IS A HUGE DEAL IN THE ARENA. HUGE DEAL. HUGE DEAL. AND YOU'RE CHEERING FOR THEM.

TO MISS. NOT BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR TEAM TO WIN, BUT YOU'RE CHEERING THEM TO MISS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO WIN THE BET TO HALF THE WORLD. I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, HELPING THEM MAKE MONEY ON DRAFTKINGS OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW WHAT I.

MEAN? >> LIKE, I'M A THE PROP AND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT ON THE PLAYER WHEN THEY GET, YOU KNOW, HARASSED ONLINE FOR NOT MAKING THAT OVER AND UNDER OR NOT, YOU KNOW WHATEVER THE CASE IS LIKE THAT CAUSED A FAN OR VIEW OR.

A BETTER TO LOSE IS BEING STUDIED AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE. >> WELL, AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, LIKE ESPN AND ABC, BOTH OWNED BY THE SAME PARENT COMPANY, DISNEY AND ESPN, LIKE MANY SPORTS MEDIA COMPANIES NOW HAS.

LIKE ESPN, THAT'S THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPANIES THAT ARE SPONSORED BY DRAFTKINGS, BY THESE BETTING SITES. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THE LEAGUES THEMSELVES THAT ARE VERY MUCH LEANING INTO ALL THIS. >> I MEAN, IS THE FACT.

THAT SPORTS BETTING IS SO MUCH JUST EVERYWHERE AROUND THE SPORT, DOES THAT MAKE IT MORE LIKELY THAT WE'LL SEE THIS MORE AND MORE SO IT'S NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE NBA, IT IS ALSO THE NFL, THE NCAA. HEY, I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN IT EVERYWHERE JUST EARLIER THIS.

YEAR, WE HAD THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS HAVE AN EMPLOYEE WHO EMBEZZLED $22 MILLION AND THEN PLACED BETS, $20 MILLION WORTH OF BETS WITH DIFFERENT TYPE OF BOOKS. WE'VE HAD NCAA WITH A FEW SCANDALS HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY, IOWA AND IOWA STATE.

. BOTH THE IOWA AND IOWA STATE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS ARE FACING ALLEGATIONS OF SPORTS BETTING INVOLVING SOME OF ITS STUDENT ATHLETES. >> THE NFL SUSPENDED THREE MEMBERS OF THE LIONS FOR BETTING ON NFL GAMES.

SO THIS IS NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE NBA. YOU CAN SEE IT IN JUST ABOUT SPORT. AND EVERY LEAGUE HAS A PARTNERSHIP AND ADS ARE EVERYWHERE. >> I'VE SPOKEN SOME LAWYERS WHO SAY THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR.

THESE FOR THESE SPORTSBOOKS IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT AREA OF CONCERN. SIMILAR TO CIGARETTES WERE IN THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. THEY KNEW THAT SPORTS BETTING ADVERTISEMENT WILL GET THE SAME KIND OF SCRUTINY IF YOU ASK.

THE SPORTSBOOKS, THEY'LL DISAGREE WITH THAT, RIGHT? I THINK THEY'LL SAY ABSOLUTELY NOT. WE ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING. IT'S APPLES TO ORANGES. SO I THINK TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IT IS IT IS IN.

A LOT OF PLACES. AND YOU CAN'T REALLY WATCH A GAME NOW, ANY GAME NOW WITHOUT SOME SORT OF TIE IN OR ADVERTISEMENT TO IT. IT STRUCK ME, TOO. I'M SILVER THE CURRENT NBA COMMISSIONER IS A LONGTIME PROPONENT OF LEGALIZED.

SPORTS BETTING, SAYS, OF COURSE, ABOUT THIS. IT'S A CARDINAL SIN FOR ANY NBA ATHLETE TO BE BETTING ON THE LEAGUE. NO COMMENT FROM JONTAY PORTER ON ANY OF THIS. XUAN THAI FROM OUR PARTNERS AT ESPN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK. >> AND ONE LAST THING IN AN AVERAGE YEAR, THE MIDDLE EASTERN CITY OF DUBAI, IT'S LESS THAN FOUR INCHES OF RAIN. THE DESERT, THE DESERT NATION OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.

IS FAMOUSLY DRY. >> WELL, THIS WEEK, IN A SINGLE DUBAI GOT SIX INCHES OF RAIN. THIS STORM WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING OR FOREIGNERS FOR THAT MATTER, HAD EVER SEEN. CARS STOPPED IN WAIST HIGH WATERS.

>> SOME RESIDENTS USING BOATS TO TRAVEL AROUND THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. DUBAI'S AIRPORT, THE BUSIEST INTERNATIONAL AIRFIELD ON EARTH, WAS RENDERED UNUSABLE . AND IN SOME ENVIRONMENTAL CIRCLES, THIS RAISED.

A QUESTION. DID DUBAI WREAK THIS HAVOC ON ITSELF? IN RECENT YEARS, THE EMIRATI GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH CLOUD SEEDING. A PRACTICE WHERE YOU GET CLOUDS TO RENDER MORE RAIN, OUR OWN.

GINGER ZEE WROTE, ALONG WITH AN AMERICAN CLOUD SEEDING COMPANY LAST YEAR AS THE DESPERATION IN THE MEGA DROUGHT MADE THE INTEREST IN CLOUD SEEDING SKYROCKET. >> OH, DEFINITELY THE IDEA IS THAT THERE'S ALL THIS MOISTURE ALREADY IN A CLOUD,.

BUT THAT CLOUD OFTEN JUST KEEPS DRIFTING ALONG. IT'S NOT UNTIL DROPLETS HAVE SOMETHING TO CLING ONTO THAT THEY CAN BECOME RAINDROPS. CLOUD FLIGHTS BASICALLY FLY STRAIGHT INTO THE CLOUD. THEY INJECT ALL THESE TINY PARTICLES INSIDE WHICH ACT LIKE.

MAGNETS FOR RAIN. DUBAI IS A CITY THAT'S GROWING EXPONENTIALLY IN A PLACE WHERE FRESHWATER IS SHRINKING. SOME METEOROLOGY SITES REPORTED THAT JUST AHEAD OF THIS RAINFALL, THESE CLOUD SEEDING FLIGHTS HAD BEEN UP IN THE AIR OVER DUBAI.

THE GOVERNMENT DENIED THESE FLIGHTS ARE TAKING OFF TUESDAY, BUT THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE DAY THESE STORMS STARTED. REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY FLIGHTS THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN, THOUGH, EXPERTS SAY THERE'S NO WAY THESE STORMS WERE CREATED.

BY CLOUD SEEDING. THAT'S JUST NOT THE WAY IT WORKS. YOU MIGHT GET 10% MORE RAIN FROM A CLOUD, BUT YOU'RE NOT CREATING A STORM ON THIN AIR. LIKELY THAT THIS STORM WAS KIND OF SUPERCHARGED BY CLIMATE CHANGE BECAUSE THERE'S JUST.

MORE AND MORE MOISTURE AVAILABLE IN THE AIR FOR ANY STORM SYSTEM TO THEN PRECIPITATE OUT. THE STORM WAS SO BIG, IT WENT FAR BEYOND DUBAI. >> IT KILLED PEOPLE IN PAKISTAN. BUT IT'S ALSO A REMINDER.

THAT AS GOVERNMENTS CONTINUE CLOUD SEEDING, WEATHER FIXES AREN'T AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS THEY MIGHT SEEM. IT'S NOT CLEAR HOW RELIABLE THIS PROCESS EVEN IS. AND EVEN IF IT DOES WORK, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE CREATING WATER UP THERE.

YOU'RE SIMPLY PUSHING IT TOO FAR OR IN THE SPOT. YOU WANT THE. TOWN OR COUNTRY DOWNWIND MIGHT SAY YOU'RE STEALING IT FROM THEM BECAUSE EVEN IN A WORLD FILLED BY FLASH FLOODS, NO ONE WANTS TO BE LEFT HIGH AND DRY.

IT'S GOING TO SAY, IF YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF WATER, MAYBE DON'T HAVE THE WORLD'S MOST ELABORATE FOUNTAIN SHOW. THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE GOT IN DUBAI, OF COURSE. THEN I THE BELLAGIO IN VEGAS ALSO HAS A PRETTY ELABORATE WHAT IS IT ALL THESE DESERT.

FOUNTAIN SHOWS? ANYWAY, IT'S THE LAST DAY OF FOR THE LEVEES IS TODAY START HERE IS IN SECOND PLACE IN THE SCIENCE AND EDUCATION CATEGORY FOR THIS PEOPLE'S AWARD WILL BE PUT FORWARD THIS EPISODE OF MICROPLASTICS. WE'RE IN SECOND PLACE RIGHT NOW.

TRIAL, INCLUDING JURY. THERE ARE FIVE MORE JURORS THAT NEED TO BE SEATED. PLUS ALTERNATES. AND EACH SIDE HAS ALREADY USED SIX OF ITS PEREMPTORY STRIKES WHICH ALLOW PROSPECTIVE JURORS TO BE ELIMINATED FROM THE JURY POOL FOR ALMOST ANY REASON.

THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL SUCH CHALLENGES PERMITTED WHEN IT COMES TIME TO SEAT THE ALTERNATES. TODAY, A WHOLE NEW BATCH OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS WILL COME INTO COURT, BUT 96 OF THEM AND THEY'LL START ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM THE SEVEN PAGE.

QUESTIONNAIRE THAT'S MEANT TO TRY AND WEED OUT SOME THE BIAS. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A TRUMP RALLY? HAVE YOU BEEN TO AN ANTI-TRUMP RALLY? DO YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR FEELINGS ABOUT TRUMP THAT WOULD.

INTERFERE WITH YOUR ABILITY TO BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AND THAT WILL WINNOW THE POOL SIGNIFICANTLY AND THEN THE INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS BY THE LAWYERS? >> WELL, IN IN JOHN, BIG HERE, THIS TRIAL MARKS THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY A FORMER U.S.

PRESIDENT HAS BEEN TRIED ON CRIMINAL CHARGES AND SO I'M CURIOUS, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR IN THIS JURY POOL SELECTION PROCESS AS IT RESUMES TODAY? >> WELL, THERE ARE REALLY TWO THINGS. ONE IS THIS INCREDIBLE CIVICS.

LESSON THAT WE'RE SEEING PLAY PLAY OUT BEFORE THE WORLD OF THE SELECTION OF A JURY OF CITIZENS NEW YORKERS ARE BEING SELECTED TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE JUDGMENT IN THE MOST HIGH PROFILE CRIMINAL CASE IN IN MEMORY AND ONE UNLIKE ANY WE HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE.

IT'S JUST FASCINATING TO SEE THAT JURY POOL COME TOGETHER. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, AND LOOKING TRUMP'S BEHAVIOR, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, NOW MOVING INTO DAY THREE OF THIS TRIAL, WHAT HOW DOES HE TAKE THIS DAY AFTER DAY OF SITTING IN THAT COURTROOM WHERE HE IS NOT.

IN CHARGE, WHERE HE HAS TO LISTEN TO CRITICAL THINGS BEING SAID ABOUT HIM BY EVERYDAY NEW YORKERS? THEY GO THROUGH AND MAKE ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHY THIS JUROR THAT YOU'RE A POTENTIAL JUROR SHOULD BE STRUCK. I JUST YOU KNOW, HOW DOES.

TRUMP HANDLE HAVING BEING COMPELLED TO BE THERE AND NOT BEING IN CHARGE? AND FRANKLY, AT LEAST IN THIS JURY SELECTION PROCESS, NOT BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION AS HE ALMOST ALWAYS IS? >> HMM. WELL, AND EMILY, THE OTHER.

PIECE, THIS IS THE JUDGE WHO TRIED A CASE BEFORE THIS JUDGE BACK IN 2016. I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR FROM FROM FROM FROM THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE? I MEAN, HOW THINGS PLAY OUT THERE? >> THAT'S RIGHT.

I DID TRY THIS DIFFERENT JUDGE MERCHAN. IN 2016, ACTUALLY, TRUMP WAS ELECTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT CASE. IN MY EXPERIENCE, I THINK JUDGE MACHAN RUNS A VERY TIGHT SHIP LIKE WE'VE SEEN THAT.

SO FAR. HE'S QUICK AND EFFICIENT WITH JURY SELECTION, WHICH SEVEN JURORS AT THIS POINT. I THINK IS IS A LOT. I KNOW HE DOESN'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME AND HE'S ALSO NOT TOLERANT OF OUTBURSTS FROM AT ALL.

>> YOU KNOW, HE WANTS THE JURY TO FOCUS TO BE ON THE EVIDENCE AND NOT ON THE DEFENDANT REACTION TO THAT EVIDENCE. SO THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR HER TIME. BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO HIM.

SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW HE HANDLES IT. >> WELL, AND AARON, I'M CURIOUS, I MEAN, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THESE JURORS SO FAR? I MEAN, I'M SEEING A LIST HERE. WE'VE GOT A TEACHER OF AN ONCOLOGIST, A GENTLEMAN WHO THOUGHT THAT TRUMP.

IS MYSTERIOUS IN IT AND A FASCINATING INDIVIDUAL DURING DURING QUESTIONING. BUT WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW HERE? YES. SO THAT THAT GUY WHO FOUND TRUMP FASCINATING AND MYSTERIOUS AS A GRANDFATHER AND SAYS HE SPENDS A LOT.

OF TIME WITH HIS FAMILY, DOESN'T PUT TRUMP AT THE CENTER OF HIS LIFE AND FINDS HIM FASCINATING, HE SAID, BECAUSE ANYTIME TRUMP WALKS IN THE ROOM, HE MAKES PEOPLE REACT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THE THE NURSE TO WALK HER DOG IN THE PARK WHEN SHE'S NOT.

DOING HER JOB, TAKING CARE OF CANCER PATIENTS. THE SCHOOLTEACHER SAID SHE ADMIRES HOW TRUMP SPEAKS HIS MIND. SHE SAID SHE'D RATHER THAT THAN A POLITICIAN WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE THINKING. ALL OF THEM, THOUGH, DID MAKE.

A PLEDGE TO BE FAIR, IMPARTIAL, TO GIVE TRUMP WHAT HIS LAWYER CALLED A FAIR SHAKE ONCE THE TESTIMONY GETS UNDERWAY. AND THERE'S REALLY SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT TRUMP BEING JUDGED BY BY NEW YORKERS . THIS IS WHERE HE USED TO CALL.

HOME. THIS IS WHERE HE ROSE TO FAME AND WHERE HE ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AND LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. BUT WHERE HE HAD BEEN A FAMILIAR FIGURE, UNLIKE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY FOR.

A LONG TIME, IN AND OUT OF THE TABLOIDS, ALWAYS BOMBASTIC AND TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT HE DID LAST NIGHT, WHO HE WAS WITH, THE FAMOUS PEOPLE HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF. AND THIS IS WHERE NOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SIT IN JUDGMENT HIM IN A WHOLE.

DIFFERENT WAY. >> THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT. THERE ARE FEWER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN IN NEW YORK FAMOUS AS LONG AS THEY'VE BEEN IN NEW YORK AS AS AS A FORMER PRESIDENT. >> AND, EMILY, I'M CURIOUS FOR YOU, I MEAN, WHAT HAS SURPRISED.

YOU ABOUT THIS JURY SELECTION PROCESS FAR? >> I MEAN, I'VE BEEN SURPRISED ,FRANKLY, HOW QUICKLY THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO SELECT SEVEN JURORS. IT'S FOR ALL THE REASONS YOU DISCUSSED. IT'S HARD TO FIND PEOPLE WHO.

HAVEN'T FORMED AN OPINION ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND WHO DON'T ALREADY KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE FACTS. >> YOU KNOW, ON THE OTHER HAND, JUDGE MERCHAN DOES YOU KNOW, IN MY EXPERIENCE, PICKED A TRIAL. >> WE PICKED A JURY VERY.

QUICKLY WHEN I DID WHEN I HAD A TRIAL IN FRONT OF HIM. AND SO I KNOW HE'S EFFICIENT AT SCREENING PEOPLE AND AND MOVING THINGS ALONG. BUT IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WHERE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SATURATED WITH FACTS ABOUT THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF YOU CAN.

PUT YOUR BIAS ASIDE, TARGET, FIND PEOPLE WHO WHO DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH AND TO BE A JUROR, YOU YOU NEED TO NOT YOU NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON THE EVIDENCE AND NOT ON SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S IN YOUR HEAD THAT YOU GOT MAYBE FROM THE MEDIA. >> OH, WELL, JON KARL, WE KNOW.

THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS HAS POLITICIZED THIS TRIAL. HE'S TALKED ABOUT IT'S IT HAMPERING HIS ABILITY TO CAMPAIGN WAY. HE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO BE PRESIDENT OF POLAND LAST NIGHT TO DISCUSSING NATO'S AID TO THE COUNTRY'S DEFENSE SPENDING.

HOW IS HE BALANCING THIS CAMPAIGNING NOW WITH WITH HIS LEGAL BATTLES? >> WELL, HE'S BLURRED THE LINES BETWEEN THOSE TWO FOR SOME TIME. AND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT HE HASN'T REALLY BEEN HAVING A VERY VIGOROUS.

SCHEDULE. >> HE HAS THE OCCASIONAL RALLY, BUT WE GET CLOSER TO THE CONVENTIONS THIS SUMMER AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE FALL CAMPAIGN. >> YOU KNOW, THERE'S A NEED TO BE OUT AND CAMPAIGNING. AND AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 6 TO.

8 WEEKS, HE'S GOING TO BE EXTREMELY FIRMLY LIMITED IN WHAT HE CAN DO. >> SO I AM LOOKING TO HOW HE WILL USE THE APPEARANCES HE HAS OUTSIDE THAT COURTROOM TO FURTHER THAT CAMPAIGN. AND I EXPECT HE'LL BE DOING THAT WITH SOME VIGOR AND SOME.

AGGRESSIVENESS. >> OKAY. WELL, WE WILL BE WATCHING, ERIN AND JONATHAN, EMILY, THANK ALL VERY MUCH. MEANWHILE, OFFICIALS ARE LOOKING WHAT CAUSED A WIDESPREAD 911 OUTAGE THAT LEFT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

UNABLE TO CALL THE EMERGENCY NUMBER FOR HOURS. SERVICE IN NEBRASKA, TEXAS, DAKOTA AND NEVADA HAS BEEN RESTORED, BUT OFFICIALS SAY IT'S NOT CLEAR HAPPENED. CHIEF JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS IS FOLLOWING THAT FOR HERE.

>> THAT WAS GOOD MORNING. WHEN YOU DIAL 911, YOU EXPECT IMMEDIATE HELP BECAUSE EVERY SECOND COUNTS IN AN EMERGENCY. BUT FOR POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS, THAT WAS NOT THE CASE LAST NIGHT. MULTIPLE POLICE ACROSS FOUR STATES REPORTING.

THAT THEY'RE NOT ALONE. WHEN PHONE LINES WENT DOWN, INCLUDING THE ENTIRE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA, A COUNTY IN NEBRASKA POLICE FORCE IN DEL RIO, TEXAS, AND TWO DEPARTMENTS IN NEVADA, INCLUDING VEGAS. SERVICE HAS BEEN RESTORED TO DEPARTMENTS IN NEVADA, SOUTH.

DAKOTA, NEBRASKA. BUT TODAY, THERE WILL BE AN URGENT EFFORT TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED, WHETHER THESE OUTAGES ARE SOMEHOW CONNECTED. IT'S UNCLEAR HOW WIDESPREAD THE SITUATION WAS. AND THIS COMES AS THE NEW HOMELAND ANALYSIS WARNS.

THAT FIBER OPTIC LINES 911 CALL CENTERS ARE BECOMING TARGETS. BUT A SIMILAR OUTAGE IN FEBRUARY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A TECHNICAL GLITCH. PRESSING HOMELAND SECURITY OFFICIALS AND LOCAL OFFICIALS FOR MORE INFORMATION BECAUSE THIS BE SUCH A SERIOUS.

THE FACT I RAISED CONCERNS INTERNALLY. I WAS SIDELINED. I WAS TOLD TO SHUT UP. I RECEIVED PHYSICAL THREATS. >> SOLAPUR DID NOT PRESENT ANY EVIDENCE OF HIS CLAIMS, BUT BOEING TELLING ABC NEWS. >> RETALIATION IS STRICTLY.

PROHIBITED AT BOEING AND THAT WE HAVE PAINSTAKINGLY INSPECTED AND REWORKED AIRPLANES AND IMPROVED PRODUCTION QUALITY. WE ARE FULLY CONFIDENT IN THE SAFETY AND DURABILITY OF THE 787 DREAMLINER ON THE 777. >> BOEING CALLS IT THE MOST.

FROM A TIME WHEN WOMEN DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. >> THE LAW PROHIBITS ABORTION IN EVERY INSTANCE EXCEPT ONE TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A MOTHER. >> IF NO REPEAL IS PASSED, THE BAN COULD TAKE EFFECT AS SOON AS JUNE, EFFECTIVELY OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE ABORTION.

CARE GOES AWAY. >> SO IF THIS LAW STANDS, YOU CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE ABORTIONS HERE? THAT IS CORRECT. HEADER CLINIC IN PHOENIX. >> DR. DESHAWN TAYLOR IS TELLING PATIENTS THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE CARE.

CENTRAL ON ABC. WELCOME BACK. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN COURT TODAY AS THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS RESUMES IN HIS HUSH MONEY TRIAL. THE JUDGE IS AIMING FOR AN OPENING STATEMENT, OPENING STATEMENTS BEGIN AS SOON.

AS MONDAY, AS LONG AS 12 JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES HAVE BEEN SEATED BY THEN. NOW, TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. I WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS.

SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS. SHE JOINS ME ALONG WITH ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI AND ATTORNEY AND FORMER PROSECUTOR EMILY BRADFORD. JOHN, YOU'RE HERE. >> ME.

I WANT TO START WITH YOU. SO HE'S BACK IN COURT. WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING TODAY? >> WELL, HOPEFULLY A JURY, BUT SO FAR, IT'S GOING A LITTLE SLOW, BUT IT'S BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLE EXPECTED. SO AT THE MOMENT WE HAVE SEVEN JURORS THAT ARE ON THIS PANEL,.

WE NEED AN ADDITIONAL FIVE TO GET TO 12, PLUS AN ADDITIONAL SIX TO GET THOSE ALTERNATES. I KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF MATH STILL EARLY, BUT SO IT GOES. BUT THE REALITY IS, IS THAT THIS IS MOVING MUCH FASTER. ANYBODY HAVE EXPECTED. YOU'LL RECALL MONDAY, IT ALMOST.

SEEMED LIKE THIS WAS GOING TO BE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE WE BEGAN WITH 96 JURORS HAVE DISQUALIFIED THEMSELVES. OTHERS TOOK THEMSELVES OUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BE FAIR, IMPARTIAL. THEY HAD OTHER EVENTS GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES BECAUSE THIS.

IS GOING TO BE AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALEX, A TRIAL GOING TO GO ON FOR SOME TIME. PROSECUTORS HAVE INDICATED ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 8 WEEKS. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE A PRESENTATION BY THE DEFENSE ANY REBUTTAL THAT COULD HAPPEN. IT'S A COMMITMENT.

IT'S A LONG COMMITMENT AND REALLY IT'S BECOMES ALMOST A FULL TIME JOB FOR JURORS. AND THAT ALONE WEIGHS THEM. TAKE OUT THE POLITICS OR THE FACTS OF THE CASE. JUST THE TIME COMMITMENT. SO IN THEORY TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

PROCESS. AS YOU INDICATED, WE CAME ON THE AIR. JUDGE MERCHAN HAS SAID HE'D LIKE TO FIND A WAY TO GET STARTED BY MONDAY. WE'LL SEE HOW TODAY GOES. OKAY. WELL, AND KATHERINE WANT YOU TO.

HOP IN HERE SO WE KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THESE JURORS RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'VE GOT THAT. WE'VE GOT A TEACHER, WE'VE GOT A NURSE ONCOLOGIST, SOMEONE A GENTLEMAN WHO THOUGHT THAT TRUMP WAS FASCINATING, MYSTERIOUS.

BUT WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THESE JURORS THAT HAVE BEEN SEATED THIS FAR. ALEX, YOU LAID IT OUT PRETTY WELL THERE. WE HAVE A RANGE OF PEOPLE, ALL DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. WE HAVE THREE WOMEN AND FOUR MEN.

THE QUESTION MOVING FORWARD, OF COURSE, IS HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE? BUT ALSO USUALLY IN CASES LIKE THIS, THE PEOPLE ON THE JURY DON'T KNOW THE DEFENDANT. THEY DON'T KNOW THE CRIMINAL DEFENDANT IN THIS CASE. IT'S MUCH DIFFERENT BECAUSE.

I REALLY CAN'T THINK OF MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO DON'T KNOW DONALD TRUMP. SO THAT'S ALSO A SORT OF CHALLENGE THEY WILL HAVE TO OVERCOME HERE IN TERMS OF WHETHER THERE ARE BIASES. BUT I WILL SAY THAT WE'RE GETTING NOTES FROM.

OUR REPORTING TEAM INSIDE THE COURT. AND OLIVIA RUBIN JUST JUST REPORTED THAT COURT IS OFF TO A ROCKY START. THERE'S ALREADY AN ISSUE WITH A PREVIOUSLY SEATED JUROR. REMEMBER THERE SEVEN. THIS IS JUROR NUMBER TWO.

APPARENTLY, THE JUDGE JUST SAID THEY RECEIVED A CALL FROM JUROR NUMBER TWO WHO CONVEYED THAT AFTER SLEEPING ON IT OVERNIGHT, SHE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT SERVING ON THE CASE. THE JUDGE CALLED THAT JUROR THIS MORNING. SHE IS NOW ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

I'M READING FROM OUR REPORTING THAT HAS JUST GONE OUT. THIS JUROR SAID, QUOTE, I DON'T BELIEVE AT THIS POINT I CAN BE FAIR AND UNBIASED. GIVEN THAT STATEMENT, SHE'S LIKELY TO BE DISMISSED. I THINK WE COULD BE DOWN TO POTENTIALLY SIX JURORS HERE.

IN A FEW MINUTES. WOW. AND KATHERINE, THANKS FOR THANKS FOR THAT. THAT THAT NEWS ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE WHAT THAT WHAT THAT DOES TO THE TIMELINE FOR OPENING STATEMENTS ON MONDAY. >> BUT — BUT, EMILY, GIVEN.

THIS AND I'M CURIOUS, YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOU KNOW, PART OF SELECTING A JURY IS IS IS ALSO AS A PROSECUTION, CONSIDERING HOW THOSE JURORS WORK IN DELIBERATIONS. WHAT WOULD YOU BE LOOKING FOR? >> EXACTLY. I THINK WHEN PARTICULARLY FOR.

THE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO GET A GROUP OF JURORS WHO ARE GOING TO BE HARMONIOUS. RIGHT. THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO REACH A UNANIMOUS VERDICT. >> YOU DON'T WANT A LOT OF JURORS WITH SUPER STRONG PERSONALITIES IN THERE WHO ARE.

GOING TO HEADS. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THE TRUMP TEAM IS LOOKING AT SOME FOR AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO'S GOING TO BE A HOLDOUT. >> BUT I THINK IT'S A DIFFICULT JOB FOR A PROSECUTION BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO GET A SENSE OF PEOPLE WITH THE LIMITED TIME.

THAT YOU HAVE. BUT WHAT YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR, I MEAN, AND THAT'S PART OF WHY THEY QUESTIONS LIKE, HAVE YOU BEEN ON A JURY BEFORE? IF YOU HAVE DID THAT JURY REACH A VERDICT? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE VERDICT WAS, BUT THAT AT LEAST.

TELLS YOU THIS IS SOMEONE WHO SAT ALONE WITH 11 OTHER PEOPLE AND CAME TO A UNANIMOUS DECISION. >> KATHERINE JOHN, EMILY, THANK YOU ALL. AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY RIGHT HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

>> AND ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF SUPPORT TODAY AS. MUCH OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY IS EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN MASS TO ENDORSE PRESIDENT BIDEN. DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING THE STORY FAMILY WILL HELP CONVINCE VOTERS NOT TO SUPPORT.

ROBERT KENNEDY JUNIOR'S INDEPENDENT BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. >> OUR GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS TAKES A LOOK AT A DIVIDED FAMILY. >> HE'S THE FOURTH KENNEDY TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. I'M HERE TO DECLARE MYSELF AN.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE, BUT THE FIRST TO BREAK WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. >> ROBERT KENNEDY JR. FAMOUSLY KNOWN FOR ESPOUSING CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF VACCINES, OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED HIS PRESIDENTIAL BID LAST YEAR.

>> HE'S RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT, WHICH MEANS HIS CAMPAIGN MUST COLLECT ANYWHERE FROM HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES, DEPENDING ON THE STATE TO GET ON THE BALLOT. >> ONLY UTAH HAS CONFIRMED THAT KENNEDY HAS QUALIFIED.

BUT HIS CAMPAIGN SAYS THEY HAVE ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO GET HIM ON THE BALLOT. THERE AND IN SEVEN OTHER STATES. >> SEVERAL OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS ARE WORRIED HE SWING A CLOSE RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN.

SOME OF THE SIBLINGS ARE CALLING HIS RUN DANGEROUS. COUSIN JACK SCHLOSSBERG, PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY'S GRANDSON CALLS IT AN EMBARRASSMENT. >> I KNOW HIM. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY ANYONE THINKS HE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT.

>> I AM CONCERNED THAT VOTING FOR BOBBY IS GOING TO TAKE VOTES AWAY FROM BIDEN AND LEAD TO A TRUMP. >> BUT THE 70-YEAR-OLD SAYS HE HAS MANY RELATIVES, INCLUDING HIS DAUGHTER LAW, WHO RUNS HIS CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT HIS CANDIDACY.

>> I COME FROM A FAMILY, FROM A MILIEU WHERE WE CAME HOME AT AND MY FATHER AND HE WOULD ORCHESTRATE BETWEEN US AND WE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT HIS FATHER DID WITH HIM. AND WE COULD DISAGREE ON ISSUES AND WE COULD DISAGREE WITH PASSION AND INFORMATION.

>> BUT WE STILL LOVE EACH OTHER . OUR THANKS TO GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS FOR THAT REPORT. AND WE'LL HAVE CONTINUING CAMPAIGN COVERAGE ALL DAY LONG. PRINCE WILLIAMS IS MAKING HIS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE SINCE HIS WIFE, PRINCESS.

KATHERINE, REVEALED HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS LAST MONTH. MAGGIE RULLI IS LIVE IN LONDON WITH ALL THE DETAILS. >> HEY, MAGGIE. HEY, ALEX. YEAH. PRINCE WILLIAM HAS OFFICIALLY RETURNED TO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS.

HE'S TAKEN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OFF TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY, AND HE HAS POSTPONED SEVERAL ENGAGEMENTS. LEADING UP TO KATE'S ANNOUNCEMENT. BUT JUST THIS MORNING, WE SAW HIM OUT IN PUBLIC. HE VISITED WEST LONDON.

AND SURREY. THAT'S A COUNTY ABOUT AN HOUR OF US HERE IN LONDON. AND HE WAS VISITING CHARITIES ABOUT FOOD WASTE. AND WE KNOW THAT ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES LIKE THIS ONE ARE SO CLOSE TO THE PRINCE'S HEART. NOW, AS FOR PRINCESS.

KATE AND WHEN SHE COULD BE RETURNING OFFICIAL ROYAL DUTIES, RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO TIMELINE FROM. THE PALACE IN THAT VIDEO MESSAGE, SHE DIDN'T REITERATE THAT SHE'S FEELING WELL AND SHE'S, QUOTE, GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY.

BUT WE UNDERSTAND, SHE WILL ONLY BE RETURNING TO ROYAL DUTIES WHEN HER DOCTORS SAY IT'S FOR HER TO DO SO. NOW, WE DO EXPECT TO BE SEEING A MORE OF PRINCE WILLIAM IN THE COMING WEEKS THIS MONTH AS HE'S REALLY ONLY ONE OF A HANDFUL OF SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL.

FAMILY THAT ARE STILL MAKING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS. >> HE'S ALSO SHOULDERING A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES FOR, HIS FATHER, KING CHARLES, AS HE CONTINUES TO UNDERGO CANCER TREATMENT AS WELL. AS WE LAST SAW THE MONARCH ON EASTER HERE IN LONDON,.

AND WE DO UNDERSTAND HE'S STILL MAKING THOSE WEEKLY AUDIENCES WITH THE PRIME MINISTER, BUT THAT'S WHEN HE COULD BE BACK DOING ANY TYPE OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS. AGAIN, NO OFFICIAL TIMELINE. AND THAT ONLY COMES DOWN TO WHAT HIS DOCTORS SAY.

IT'S GOING TO. >> OKAY, ALEX. ALL RIGHT, MAGGIE, THANK YOU. AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY, BUT SHE RECENTLY BECAME THE CENTER OF A FIRESTORM THAT HAS ROCKED THE MONARCHY.

TO ITS CORE. CHECK OUT “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE” AS A DIVE INTO HOW THE ROYAL FAMILY IS WEATHERING THE STORM. THE CROWN IN CRISIS IS NOW STREAMING ON HULU. AND COMING UP, WHY AN NBA PLAYER IS NOW BANNED FOR LIFE FROM THE LEAGUE.

A PRECEDENT THIS COULD SET MOVING FORWARD FOR SPORTS BETTING. SPORTS. ALSO AHEAD, SIMONE BILES IS OPENING UP ABOUT HER MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES. WHAT SHE'S SHARING ABOUT THE MOMENT SHE DECIDED TO WITHDRAW.

FROM SOME OLYMPIC EVENTS THIS YEAR OF TRAUMA, THE TRAUMA THAT LED UP TO THE MOMENT AND HOW SHE'S HEALING TONIGHT. DONALD TRUMP'S CRIMINAL TRIAL MOVED CLOSER TO SEALING A JURY LOSS. WILL THE BATTLE OVER UKRAINE TAKE THE HOUSE SPEAKER'S JOB.

IN JEOPARDY AGAIN? MORE AMERICANS TURN TO WORLD NEWS TONIGHT. DAVID MUIR, THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ON TELEVISION. SHE'S THE STAR OF GROWING UP CHRISLEY. AND TOMORROW MORNING, IN AN EMOTIONAL NEW INTERVIEW,.

SAVANNAH CHRISLEY OPENS UP ABOUT HER PARENTS, THEIR PRISON SENTENCES TAKING CUSTODY OF HER YOUNGER SIBLINGS WHILE HER PARENTS ARE INCARCERATED. THAT'S THE TOUGH PART. GOOD MORNING AMERICA TOMORROW. THIS IS NOT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KIDS WATCH VIOLENT.

MOVIES, PLAYED VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO REFLECTED THEIR SON OR HIS CRIES FOR HELP. THEN WALKING DOWN THE FIRST PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING PURCHASED THAT GUN AND BRAGGED.

YOU GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT'S A COMMON SENSE OF THE PARENTS, THE CRUMBLING TRIALS. >> THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. >> IT'S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULU. >> THEY'RE THE MOST MYSTERIOUS CREATURES ON EARTH.

THEY'RE MASTERMINDS, SHAPESHIFTERS. THEY'RE JUST SO INCREDIBLY ALIEN. AND YET MORE LIKE THAN WE EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED. WHAT MORE DO THEY HAVE TO TELL US? >> A TRAGEDY IN A SMALL TOWN.

A CHURCH PASTOR IS DEAD, SHOT IN THE BACK WITH A 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN. PEOPLE WERE LIKE, WHAT? THE PREACHER'S WIFE. THERE HAD TO BE A GOOD REASON. SOME SPECULATE SPECULATED YOU PICK UP THAT SHOTGUN AND SHOOT.

HER HUSBAND, MARY, APPEARED TO HAVE HAD A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN, BUT THEY HAD CLOSED DOORS. IT WAS A LIVING HOUSE AND 20, 20 FRIDAY NIGHT AT NINE EAST CENTRAL ON ABC. >> WELCOME BACK. THE NBA JUST HANDED DOWN ONE OF.

ITS HARSHEST PUNISHMENTS EVER TO A PLAYER. TORONTO RAPTORS CENTER JONTAY PORTER HAS BEEN FOR LIFE AFTER AN INVESTIGATION THAT UNCOVERED HIS ALLEGED CONNECTION TO SPORTS BETTING, DISCLOSING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION TO BETTORS LIMITING.

,HIS OWN PLAYING TIME AND EVEN BETTING ON A GAME HIMSELF. ABC'S WOOD JOHNSON HAS MORE THE NBA BANNING JONTAY PORTER OF THE TORONTO RAPTORS FOR LIFE. THE 24 YEAR OLD'S PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL CAREER DERAILED FOR VIOLATING LEAGUE'S RULES.

ON SPORTS BETTING AND INVESTIGATION, CONCLUDING HE ALLEGEDLY PLACED AT LEAST 13 BETS ON NBA GAMES UNDER AN ASSOCIATED ACCOUNT RANGING FROM $15 TO 22,000, TOTALING MORE THAN $54,000. IS WILL HAVE A DEFINITE IMPACT ON THE GAMING AND WHAT.

IS OFFERED TO BE FROM SPORTSBOOKS ON THE NBA. PORTER ALSO ACCUSED OF BETTING AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM AND DISCLOSING PRIVATE ABOUT HIS HEALTH STATUS TO SOMEONE PLACING BETS ON HIS GAME STATS AND THEN EVEN LEAVING A GAME EARLY CITING.

ILLNESS. THE NBA COMMISSIONER RELEASING A STATEMENT SAYING IN PART, THERE IS NOTHING IMPORTANT THAN PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF NBA COMPETITION, WHICH IS WHY JONTAY PORTER IS BLATANT VIOLATIONS OF OUR GAME RULES ARE BEING MET WITH THE MOST.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT THAT ALL ANYTHING HIM. >> JUST LAST YEAR ALONE SPORTS BETTING IN THIS COUNTRY PASSING $100 BILLION MARK WITH EASY TO USE APPS AND CELEBRITY HELPING TO FUEL ITS POPULARITY. >> SINCE WE HAD THE VISIBILITY.

OF THOSE BETS THAT WERE PLACED ON THESE THAT QUARTER WAS INVOLVED IN IT WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE AND COME TO THIS INVESTIGATION PRETTY QUICKLY. >> THANKS TO WHIT JOHNSON FOR THAT. AND I WANT TO BRING IN ESPN.

PORTER DAVID PURDUM WHO COVERS SPORTS GAMBLING FOR OUR SISTER NETWORK AND HAS BEEN TRACKING THE STORY. DAVID, THANKS FOR JOINING US. I WANT TO START BECAUSE THE NBA SAID THAT THIS INVESTIGATION REMAINS OPEN AND SO DOES THAT INDICATION THAT THERE.

STILL MAY BE OTHERS INVOLVED? >> NOT NECESSARILY OTHERS INVOLVED, BUT I'M SURE THEY ARE SHARING INFORMATION, AS WE SAID, WITH FEDERAL PROSECUTORS. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHO THE ASSOCIATE WERE, THAT THE INFORMATION WAS SHARED WITH AND WHO PLACED SOME OF.

THOSE BETS. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER GAMES IMPACTED. SO THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR, BUT THERE ARE OF THOSE IDEAS IN THAT CONTEXT.

>> AND THE OTHER THING THAT THE RED FLAG THAT REGULATORS HERE WERE DRAWN TO WERE, THE IRREGULAR BETTING PATTERNS, THE ACTION ON PORTER. BUT THIS IS HARDLY THE FIRST TIME THEY'RE THE FIRST HIGH PROFILE INSTANCE SINCE THE SUPREME COURT PAVED THE WAY.

FOR SPORTS BETTING TO BECOME LEGAL IN 2018. I MEAN, I'M CURIOUS. ARE WE GETTING A SENSE OF JUST HOW PREVALENT SPORTS BETTING IS AMONGST ATHLETES AND COACHING STAFFS? >> WE CERTAINLY HAVE MORE INTO THE MARKET THAN WE EVER.

HAVE BEFORE. SPORT SPORTS BETTING WAS BROUGHT INTO THE LIGHT ABOUT 2018, THE SUPREME COURT DECISION. BEFORE THEN, IT WAS MUCH RESTRICTED PRIMARILY TO NEVADA OFFSHORE SPORTSBOOKS AND LOCAL BOOKMAKERS.

AND WHEN SOMETHING WAS UNTOWARD HAPPENING IN THOSE, I'VE BEEN USING THE OFFSHORE WORLD. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THAT. SO THIS NEW VISIBILITY OF THE LEGAL THE LEGALIZED MARKET IS ALLOWING TO SEE HOW PREVALENT WE HAVE IN THESE.

BETTORS ARE BETTING APPROPRIATELY. >> NOW, YOU RECENTLY WROTE THAT WITH REGARD TO SPORTS BETTING, PERHAPS THE SAFEST BET IS THAT THERE WILL BE MORE CONTROVERSIES. >> THIS IS AN INDUSTRY THAT STILL HAS ROOM TO GROW.

RIGHT. I CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS, THE TWO MOST POPULATED STATES IN THE COUNTRY AND YET TO LEGAL IS IT SO I MEAN HOW DO YOU PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF SPORTS KNOWING THAT THIS INDUSTRY IS IS ONLY TO GROW. >> YEAH IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.

TO STOP SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO BREAK THE RULES THAT ARE PUT IN PLACE. IT'S VERY EASY. ANYONE WHO SHOULD NOT BE BETTING TO HAND THEIR PHONE OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE OR TELL THEIR FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND AND PLACE THIS BET FOR ME.

BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS TRY TO PUT DETERRENTS IN PLACE AND A LIFETIME BAN LIKE WE'RE SEEING IN THE NBA NOW. CERTAINLY WE HOPE TO BE THAT DETERRENT. I ALSO THINK WE WILL RESTRICT THE OPTIONS OF BETTING. MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW.

BETTING ON PLAYERS THAT ARE ON TWO WAY CONTRACTS LIKE ORDER ONES THAT HAVE A SMALLER SALARIES OR MAYBE WE EVEN MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T ACCEPT LARGE BETS. THESE TYPES OF PLAYER APPROXIMATE BETTING LIMITS MAYBE NEED TO REDUCE, THOUGH.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT THE INTEGRITY. >> YEAH, WELL, THAT LIFETIME BAN CERTAINLY DOES SEND THE MESSAGE. ESPN SPORTS BETTING REPORTER PURDUM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

AND JUST MONTHS FROM THE PARIS OLYMPICS, SIMONE BILES IS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES THAT LED HER TO WITHDRAW FROM EVENTS IN THE TOKYO GAMES. THE FOUR TIME GOLD MEDALIST SAYS IT FELT LIKE AN ISSUE VERY FEW COULD RELATE TO AND THAT.

A PHYSICAL INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. >> ABC LARA SPENCER HAS THE LATEST. >> AMERICA HATES ME. THE WORLD IS GOING TO HATE ME AND I CAN ONLY SEE WHAT SAYING ON TWITTER RIGHT NOW.

>> GYMNASTICS COACH SIMONE BILES OPENING UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH BATTLE SHE FACED AT THE TOKYO OLYMPICS IN 2021 THAT LED HER TO WITHDRAW FROM MULTIPLE EVENTS. I WOULD LITERALLY TELL THE TEAM, MY TEAMMATES,.

I'M FIGHTING DEMONS AND FIGHTING DEMONS RIGHT NOW. SO LITERALLY FELT LIKE I WAS FIGHTING MY BODY AND MY MIND TO DO THESE TRICKS. >> THE FOUR TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SITTING DOWN WITH ALEX COOPER ON THE CALL OF DUTY PODCAST ON WEDNESDAY.

TALKING ABOUT HER DECISION TO REMOVE HERSELF FROM THE WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS ALL ROUND FINAL AFTER EXPERIENCING WHAT SHE CALLED THE TWISTIES. IT'S BASICALLY LIKE YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY IS AT A DISCONNECT.

YOUR BODY IS GOING TO TO DO SOMETHING AND YOUR MIND IS GOING TO BE LIKE, NO, YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS. THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN DOING SOMETHING FOR SO LONG AND YOU NOW NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL. TERRIFYING.

TERRIFYING. BILES RECALLING THE SHAKY VAULT ROUTINE THAT PROMPTED HER TO WITHDRAW. I GO TO TELL MY COACH AND I SAID, I'M DONE. I'M NOT DOING ANYMORE. BECAUSE IF I SURVIVE THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH ELSE I CAN.

SURVIVE. LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, I'M A CAT WITH NINE LIVES, BUT I THINK THAT WAS MY NINTH. >> I'M DONE. THAT DECISION SENDING ACROSS THE GLOBE AS SHE PULLED HERSELF FROM HER REMAINING EVENTS, BUT EVENTUALLY MANAGING.

TO COMPETE ON THE BEAM WHERE SHE WON A BRONZE MEDAL, THE WOMEN'S TEAM GOING ON TO WIN THE SILVER. IF SHE AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES, THE GRANDEST STAGE IN HER SPORT. WITH SO MANY EXPECTATIONS ON HER, IF SHE COULD SAY,.

I CAN'T GO ON, THEN THAT CERTAINLY GAVE SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE ATHLETES OR NOT THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE OPENING FOR THEM TO SAY, HEY, I NEED HELP. BILES SAYING THAT MOMENT WAS THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF TRAUMA, INCLUDING THE ABUSE.

SHE SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF CONVICTED GYMNASTICS DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR. IT WASN'T JUST A MENTAL INJURY THAT HAPPENED CALLED THE TWISTIES. IT'S LIKE COMPRESSING ALL OF THIS FOR SO MANY YEARS. IT JUST UNFOLDED LIKE LIKE.

YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T COMPRESS TRAUMA THAT MUCH LONGER. >> EXPERTS PRAISING SIMONE'S TO STOP AND WORK THROUGH IT. >> ONE THING LEGS LONG DID TEACH THE WORLD IS THIS IS NECESSARILY A LIFELONG AFFLICTION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN.

BE MANAGED, DEALT WITH WITH THE HELP OF THERAPY AND TRAINING. BILES NOW HAS HER SIGHTS SET ON A POTENTIAL COMEBACK FOR PARIS 2024. CONTINUING TO WORK ON MY BODY AND MY MIND, JUST LIKE I HAVE THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.

AND IT'S WORKED. AND SO TO JUST STAY ON TOP OF THAT, IT'S EXHAUSTING. BUT LIKE, I HAVE TO DO IT. IT'S. >> IT'S WORKING. I DIDN'T THINK THERAPY WAS GOING TO WORK AND IT'S WORKING .

>> OUR THANKS TO LARA SPENCER. NOW WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS ON THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, THE ALREADY SEATED JUROR NUMBER TWO APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN EXCUSED WITH JUDGE MARSHAWN SAYING WE JUST LOST WHAT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN A VERY JUROR.

ON THIS CASE. THE JUROR TOLD THE JUDGE AFTER ON IT OVERNIGHT SHE HAD CONCERNS AND DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT COULD BE FAIR AND UNBIASED. IF THE JUROR IS EXCUSED, THAT WOULD BRING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SEATED JURORS FROM.

SEVEN DOWN TO SIX. THE JUDGE IS HOPING FOR OPENING STATEMENTS TO BEGIN MONDAY AS LONG AS 12 JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES HAVE BEEN SEATED BY THEN. WE'LL BE FOLLOWING CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

AND COMING, THE CDC IS ISSUING A WARNING ABOUT BOTOX. >> WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE GETTING THE SHOTS. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KIDS WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES PLAY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS.

WHO NEGLECTED THEIR SON, IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP, THEN WALKING DOWN THOSE PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SHOOTING. HE PURCHASED THAT GUN. AND GREG, YOU DON'T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT'S A CLEAN SCENES OF THE.

PARENTS, THE CRUMBLING TRIALS. >> THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. IT'S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULU. >> WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I WAS THINKING, I'M WANT TO UP OUR HERE. IF YOU HEARD A HUSBAND.

BEING ASKED TO OPEN UP HIS MARRIAGE, I DON'T KNOW IF I FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT YOU'VE ALREADY MADE DECISIONS WITHOUT ME. I'LL JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT OUR HIDDEN CAMERAS CATCH. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER MAN IN OUR MARRIAGE.

THIS WHAT I WANT? HE IS ON HIS WAY TO A DINNER AND A SHOW. AND JUST WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE WALKS IN. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? SUNDAY NIGHT? ALL NEW ABC TONIGHT. DONALD TRUMP'S CRIMINAL TRIAL.

MOVES CLOSER TO SEALING A JURY . PLUS, WILL THE BATTLE OVER UKRAINE AID WITH THE HOUSE SPEAKER'S JOB IN JEOPARDY AGAIN? MORE AMERICANS TURN TO WORLD NEWS TONIGHT. DAVID MUIR, THE MOST WATCHED.

NEWSCAST ON TELEVISION. GMT MONDAY. >> K-POP SENSATION. IT PERFORMS LIKE MONDAY. IT'S IT SEEMS ON TOUR ON TNA, SPONSORED BY LIVE NATION NATION . >> WELCOME BACK. THE CDC AND FDA.

ARE INVESTIGATING CASES OF FAKE BOTOX, MISHANDLED BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTIONS AFTER AT LEAST 19 PEOPLE ACROSS NINE STATES WERE GIVEN BAD SHOTS. OFFICIALS SAY THE BOTOX WAS EITHER COUNTERFEIT OR ADMINISTERED BY WHO WAS UNLICENSED OR UNTRAINED AND IN.

SOME CASES, INJECTIONS GIVEN TO NON-HEALTH CARE IN THE NON-HEALTH CARE SETTINGS LIKE HOMES OR SPAS. DERMATOLOGIST MICHELLE HENRY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. DR. HENRY. BOTOX IS A NAME BRAND OF ONE FORM OF BOTULINUM TOXIN.

THERE ARE FIVE FDA APPROVED FORMS OF THE DRUG. SO HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING? >> SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE SOURCE WHO'S INJECTING IT. >> SO THESE COMPANIES CREATE THESE NEUROTOXINS ARE REALLY.

WELL REGULATED, I THINK TO SOME OF THE FACTORY. IT'S A LEVEL OF SCIENTIFIC RIGOR AND QUALITY CONTROL IS HIGH. AND SO THEY ONLY ALLOW LICENSED PRACTITIONERS TO PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCT. >> SO IF IT'S NOT A LICENSED.

PRACTITIONER, THEY LIKELY DO NOT HAVE BRANDED PRODUCT, WHICH IS SAFE. >> WELL, AND ALSO FOR THOSE CONSIDERING BOTOX, WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD THEY BE ASKING BEFORE TO A PROFESSIONAL? >> SO YOU WANT TO AGAIN, MAKE.

SURE THAT IT'S A LICENSED PRACTITIONER, THAT YOU'RE HAVING IT DONE IN A MEDICAL OFFICE A HEALTH CARE SPACE SO THAT YOU'RE CERTAIN THAT THE QUALITY CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE BOTTLE, IT'S OKAY TO ASK. IT SHOULD A LITTLE BOTULINUM.

TOXIN THAT IS THE GENERIC NAME . SO A LOT OF THE COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS SAID BOTOX TYPE A, WHICH IS NOT WHAT THE ADD THE PRODUCT HAS ON IT, THAT THE LANGUAGE IS IN ENGLISH. SO ALL THE PRODUCT THAT'S DISTRIBUTED IN THE.

UNITED STATES, WHICH IS ALLOWED FOR US TO USE, HAS ENGLISH WRITTEN ON THE BOTTLE. >> MAKE SURE THAT IT'S 100 UNITS. SO THAT'S WHAT WE SEE FOR BOTOX. YOU KNOW, THE COUNTERFEIT SAID 150.

SO LOOKING FOR THOSE MARKERS ARE REALLY CRITICAL. AND DON'T SHY AWAY FROM ASKING YOUR PRACTITIONER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AREN'T YOU? >> WELL, AND ALSO JUST BIG PICTURE HERE. WHAT IS BOTOX AND WHAT ARE THE RISKS SURROUNDING IT?.

>> SO BOTOX BRAND, IT'S ONLY BOTULINUM TOXIN THAT IS A HIGHLY PURIFIED FORM OF BOTULINUM TOXIN. SO BOTULINUM TOXIN IS MADE BY CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM. >> THAT'S A BACTERIA. AND IT REALLY HIGH DOSES. IT CAN CAUSE PARALYSIS,.

PARALYSIS. IT CAN ACTUALLY AFFECT OUR MUSCLES THAT WE REQUIRE TO BREATHE. SO IT CAN BE FATAL. >> AND WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE BOTULINUM TOXIN COSMETICALLY IS IT'S SO DILUTE AND SO PURIFIED THAT IT'S.

ALLOWING US TO RELAX THE MUSCLES TEMPORARILY FOR COSMETIC BENEFIT. BUT YOU CAN IMAGINE IT'S A VERY REGULATED DOSE, A VERY TINY DOSE THAT REALLY REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT TRAINING TO DO WELL . >> AND IS THERE ANY ANY.

GUIDELINES FOR FOR A A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX? >> SO A GREAT SOMEONE WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES SO THOSE NUMBER ELEVENS ON THE FOREHEAD, THE HORIZONTAL LINES ON THE FOREHEAD ARE REALLY COMMON AREAS OF WHAT WE CALL.

THE CROW'S. THOSE LINES THAT YOU GET FROM SMILING AROUND THE EYES, THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON AND THE FDA APPROVED AREAS THAT WE TREAT. SO ANYONE LOOKING RELAX THOSE MUSCLES TEMPORARILY IS A GREAT CANDIDATE, ACTUALLY,.

DERMATOLOGIST. DR. MICHELLE HENRY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FAKE LUXURY BAGS ARE GETTING A LOT OF HYPE ON SOCIAL MEDIA NOW. CONCERNS ARE GROWING THAT THE KNOCKOFFS MAY BE DISRUPTING TRADITIONAL VIEWS ON AND.

AUTHENTICITY. COUNTERFEIT HANDBAGS HAVE EVOLVED FROM MADE IMITATIONS INTO FINELY CRAFTED REPLICAS. SO-CALLED SUPER FAKES THAT ARE SO CLOSE TO THE SO TO THE ORIGINALS THAT EXPERTS HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING A DIFFERENCE.

JANAI NORMAN TALKS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT ABOUT WHAT'S BEHIND THE SHADOW WORLD. >> FAKE HANDBAGS, DISTRIBUTION DUPES AND ARE TAKING OVER. SOME OF THESE ARE CHEF'S KISS. >> THIS FEELS LIKE REAL YOUR DO AT A TIME WHEN HIGH END LUXURY BRANDS LIKE HERMÉS, CHANEL.

AND PRADA CONTINUE TO BOOST THEIR PRICES. SOME CONSUMERS ARE TURNING TO SO-CALLED SUPER FAKES. THEY'RE CONSIDERED HIGH QUALITY FAKES NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE REAL THING. BUT FOR A MUCH LOWER PRICE. >> 20 YEARS AGO, COUNTERFEITS.

WERE TERRIBLE. THOSE THINGS WERE $25 ON CANAL STREET, YOU KNOW. NOW, COUNTERFEITS ARE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, POTENTIALLY SOME KIND OF A BIRKIN'S ARE LIKE 6000 PLUS DOLLARS HANDMADE FAKE BAG. >> THAT'S WHAT MADE IT.

A STUDY FROM MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. COUNTERFEITERS ARE NORMALIZING THE STIGMA OF OWNING IN PART BY USING INFLUENCERS TO PEDDLE THEIR PRODUCTS. >> IN 20 23, HANDBAGS AND WALLETS RANKED AS THE SECOND MOST SEIZED COUNTERFEIT.

ITEM BY U.S.. WORTH OVER $600 MILLION IN ESTIMATED RETAIL VALUE. BUY YOURSELF A COUNTERFEIT HANDBAG WON'T LAND YOU IN JAIL ,BUT SELLING COUNTERFEITS IS A FEDERAL CRIME. WE DELVE INTO THE EVER EVOLVING UNDERWORLD OF SUPER FAKES.

THAT'S CHALLENGING VIEWS ON VALUE AND AUTHENTICITY. >> THESE BAGS ARE NOT WORKS OF COMPLICATED FRESCO ART, MAKING SUPER FAKES SUPER EASY BUY. IT WAS LIKE ALMOST DISAPPOINTINGLY EASY EASY TO BANK OFF OF, QUITE FRANKLY,.

COUNTERFEITING IS A VERY LUCRATIVE INDUSTRY AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. >> LOUIS VUITTON, THE PRIDE OF THE CHRISTIAN DIOR GUCCI. >> WE GET EVERYTHING. IT'S AN ENDLESS FIGHT THAT WE DO. >> VERY INTERESTING.

MEDIA POSTS THAT TRUMP HAS MADE ON SOCIAL. AND LOOK, IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT THEY WOULD SAY THIS. WE KNOW THAT TRUMP'S LAWYERS HAVE BEEN ADVISING NOT TO MAKE REMARKS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND NOT TO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE ULTIMATELY HAPPENS AND WHAT THE JUDGE SAYS HERE. BUT PROSECUTORS KICKING OFF THE DAY ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT THIS HAS TO STOP. IT'S RIDICULOUS QUOTING THEM.

SO WE'LL SEE WHERE THIS GOES FROM HERE. BUT CERTAINLY, AS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS WHOLE WEEK, THIS IS GOING TO BE CENTRAL ISSUE, THIS WHOLE TRIAL, GIVEN THAT TRUMP MAKES A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT WHETHER IT BE BRAD,.

WHETHER IT BE MICHAEL COHEN, WHOEVER IT IS. SO THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT'S GOING AWAY. WELL, IT'S ONLY 10:00 AND IT SEEMS LIKE ALREADY A LOT OF UPDATES IN THIS TRIAL. BUT, JOHN, I TO COME TO YOU ON THIS.

WHAT IS TRUMP'S TEAM SAYING ABOUT THIS PROCESS FOR THE SEATED JURY? WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND, ALISON, YOU'RE GOING TO PIVOT. WE HAVE MORE NEWS IN ADDITION TO THE JUROR THAT KATHERINE FAULDERS JUST DESCRIBED.

OUR OLIVIA RUBIN IS TELLING US THAT THERE IS NOW AN ISSUE WITH JUROR NUMBER FOUR. SO IF YOU'LL RECALL, KATHERINE'S INFORMATION WAS THAT JUROR NUMBER HAD ASKED HIM TO DISQUALIFY BECAUSE SAID SHE SLEPT ON IT, YOU KNOW, COULDN'T BE IMPARTIAL.

JUROR NUMBER FOUR, ACCORDING TO A PRESENTATION JUST MADE IN OPEN COURT BY ONE OF THE AIDES IN THE CASE. APPARENTLY, THE PERSON, THE SAME NAME IS JUROR NUMBER FOUR, WHO SAID THAT THIS IS THE PERSON THE WAY SAID THEY WERE FOUND.

TRUMP FASCINATING AND MYSTERIOUS. THAT PERSON APPARENTLY HAD A PRIOR ARREST, NOT THROUGHOUT THE VOIR DIRE PROCESS. APPARENTLY, IT WAS AN ARREST IN THE 1990S IN WESTCHESTER, NEW YORK, FOR, QUOTE, TEARING DOWN ADVERTISEMENTS.

SO OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD NOT BE SOMETHING HELPFUL IN THIS CASE BECAUSE THOUGH THIS IS NOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, POLITICS AND THE ELECTION, IT IS ABOUT A POLITICALLY RELATED ISSUE. >> SO CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN OPEN COURT.

IT SEEMS LIKE JUDGE MERCHAN CLAIMED IN COURT, ACCORDING TO OUR OLIVIA RUBIN, THAT THEY HAD INSTRUCTED JUROR NUMBER FOUR TO BE IN COURT AT 915 THIS MORNING. BUT THAT JUROR HAS STILL NOT SHOWN AND OBVIOUSLY WAS AT THE TIME.

SO, YOU KNOW, LISTEN, I DO THINK THAT IS, AS CATHERINE, I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH YOU HERE, ALEX, I MEAN, THIS IS REALITY, RIGHT? THIS IS A PROCESS. AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, PART OF WHAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THAT PART OF THE.

VOIR DIRE PROCESS WHEN WE ARE BUILDING OUT A JURY IS THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE VETTING OF INDIVIDUALS. AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE NOT HONEST IN THEIR QUESTIONNAIRE AND I'M SURE CAN NOW THEY CAN SPEAK MORE TO THAT AND FAR BETTER THAN I CAN.

BUT I DO THINK THAT THAT'S EXACTLY THIS PROCESS WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW. THIS IS IN SOME WAYS RATHER ROUTINE, IF YOU WILL, AS WE GO THROUGH A VETTING OF A JUROR BY DOING THIS IS WHERE THIS DIFFERENT NOW BECAUSE OF THE SPOTLIGHT THAT IS DONALD TRUMP.

>> WELL, AND SO I WANT TO GO TO YOU ON THIS BECAUSE AS A FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR NOW HEARING THAT WE'VE GOT ONE JUROR THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN EXCUSED, ANOTHER JUROR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY ALSO BE EXCUSED, BRINGING THAT TOTAL FROM SEVEN DOWN TO FIVE, ALL OF.

A SUDDEN, WE KNOW THAT OPENING STATEMENTS WHERE THE JUDGE WAS HOPING FOR THEM TO BEGIN ON MONDAY AND DOES THIS PUT THIS PROCESS? IT SLOWS IT DOWN. IT'S A BUMP IN THE ROAD. AND I THINK THE COURT AND THE PARTIES ARE GOING TO OVERCOME.

AS JOHN SAID, THIS IS A TYPICAL PROCESS. THIS THE VETTING OF JURORS. >> I WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT SOMETHING. THE JUDGE, TRUMP'S LAWYERS, THE PROSECUTORS THEY ALL WANT A JUROR WHO IS IMPARTIAL AND UNBIASED.

THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. THEY DON'T WANT JURORS WITH PROBLEMS. SO, THOUGH, YOU KNOW, THESE ISSUES ARE COMING UP, WE ARE WE'RE SEEING LIKE TRYING TO JUST REPORTED JUROR NUMBER FOUR HAS AN ISSUE, A PRIOR ARREST.

IT'S BETTER THAT THEY FIND THAT OUT NOW. THEY'VE GOT TO GET SEATED AND THEN IT COMES OUT LATER AND THEN LATER YOU'RE FACING MISTRIAL. >> WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE HEARD AND THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS,.

YOU KNOW, JUDGE MERCHAN IS IS IS PRETTY FAST AND EFFICIENT. BUT — BUT BUT ALSO BUT ALSO WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS PROCESS PLAYS OUT CORRECTLY. JOHN I WANT TO HEAD BACK TO YOU ON THAT. TRUMP HAS CRITICIZED THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS.

HE'S POLITICIZED IT. WE'VE ALREADY SEEN HIS LEGAL TEAM TRYING TO LAY THIS TRIAL NORMAL A NUMBER OF TIMES. WHAT IS THE STRATEGY THERE? >> WELL, THE REALITY IS, I MEAN, LISTEN, SINCE ONE, THE GOAL HAS BEEN DELAY, DELAY AND MAKE THESE THINGS GO AWAY.

SO FAR, THEY'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THREE OUT OF FOUR. BUT NEVERTHELESS, WE'RE HERE TODAY ABOUT THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE THIS TRIAL IS ROCKING AND ROLLING AS FAR AS THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS, YOU KNOW WHAT? DONALD TRUMP'S TEAM HAS BEEN.

COMPLAINING ABOUT FOR SOME TIME IS THAT THEY FELT THEY COULD NOT GET A FAIR AND UNBIASED JURY IN NEW YORK, SPECIFICALLY IN MANHATTAN, BECAUSE THEY CITED PREVIOUS VOTER ROLL OUT. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE 2020 AND 2016 ELECTIONS, DONALD.

TRUMP WON IN BOTH LESS THAN 15% OF THE VOTE IN NEW YORK COUNTY ,WHICH AGAIN, JUST FOR THE CRIMINAL CODE AND FOR HOW THE NEW YORK STATE SYSTEM IS SET UP, NEW YORK COUNTY IS REFERRING TO THE ISLAND OF MANHATTAN, WHICH FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, BUT THAT.

IS THEIR ARGUMENT FOR WHAT THEY'VE BEEN PUSHING THROUGHOUT THESE PROCEEDINGS, THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO GET FAIR AND IMPARTIAL. >> BUT LOOK, AGAIN, LET LET'S JUST BACK AWAY FROM THAT AND LET'S GO TO HERE AND NOW MINUS TWO THAT CLEARLY WE NOW.

HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH AND WE'LL SEE HOW IT SHAKES OUT. >> THEY GOT SEVEN JURORS SO FAR. I MEAN, FOR EVERYTHING THAT LOOKED LIKE MONDAY WAS GOING BE A TRAIN WRECK, THE TRAIN HAS GOTTEN BACK ON THE TRACKS AND EVEN THE JUDGE.

MAKING, THE COMMENTS, I THINK WE CAN GET THIS THING GOING BY MONDAY. YES. THAT SHOWS SOMETHING. WELL, SO THE OTHER PART OF THIS IS THAT WELL, THE PRESIDENT IS HE'S RUNNING AN ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

RIGHT. AND SO HOW IS THIS ULTIMATELY GOING TO TO IMPACT HIS IS HIS ABILITY TO GET CAMPAIGN. WE KNOW THAT HE MET WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA LAST NIGHT TO DISCUSS INCREASING NATO COUNTRIES DEFENSE SPENDING.

BUT HOW IS THIS IMPACTING HIS HIS BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER? WELL, SURELY IMPACTS HIS ABILITY TO BE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. THERE'S JUST NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. HE'S OBVIOUSLY HAD COURT.

APPEARANCES BEFORE IN VARIOUS JURISDICTIONS, BUT THIS IS A 4 TO 6 WEEK TRIAL. POTENTIALLY. HE CAN'T GO OUT ON THE ROAD DURING THE WEEK, EXCEPT POTENTIALLY WEDNESDAY. THAT'S WHEN THEY DON'T SIT. BUT AS WE SAW, HE WILL DO.

EVENTS IN NEW YORK. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THE COLLIDING POLITICAL AND LEGAL STRATEGIES HERE LEGALLY. TRUMP'S LAWYERS WANTED TO SLOW THIS DOWN. THEY WANTED TO SLOW DOWN THE LEGAL.

BUT POLITICALLY, HE WANTS TO SPEED THIS UP. HE WANTS TO BE OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. SO HE CAN'T REALLY HAVE IT BOTH WAYS HERE. AND I THINK NOW THAT IS BECOMING A REALITY AS HE WILL BE SITTING IN THAT.

COURTROOM EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 8 WEEKS, MOST EVERY DAY, I SHOULD SAY. >> ALL RIGHT, JOHN JOHN COHEN, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. AND WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. A REPUBLICANS HAVE RELEASED.

THE TEXT OF FOUR BILLS IN A PACKAGE AND INCLUDES FOREIGN AID FOR UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TAIWAN. I WANT TO BRING IN ABC'S JAY O'BRIEN JOINS ME NOW FROM CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE ON THIS. FIRST JAY CAN YOU CAN YOU BREAK THESE BILLS DOWN US.

>> WELL FIRST IT'S FOUR SEPARATE BILLS REMEMBER ALEX IT'S AID FOR ISRAEL UKRAINE AND A FOURTH BILL. THAT'S A GRAB BAG OF GOP POLICY PRIORITIES. AND THE QUESTION FACING SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON SETTING ASIDE FOR.

FOR A SECOND HIS FUTURE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AFTER INTRODUCING LEGISLATION IS CAN HE EVEN GET THIS STUFF OUT OF THE HOUSE RULES ONTO THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE AND THEN HE CAN CAN HE CLEAR THE PROCEDURAL VOTE, WHICH IS CALLED A VOTE ON A RULE.

TO TEE UP AN ACTUAL VOTE ON THIS? IT'S ALL VERY COMPLEX, BUT THE REALITY HERE IS JOHNSON DOESN'T HAVE THE SUPPORT AMONGST REPUBLICANS TO GET THIS STUFF UP FOR A VOTE THE WAY HE WOULD TYPICALLY WITH LESS CONTROVERSIAL LEGISLATION.

SO HE'S ALMOST CERTAINLY GOING HAVE TO RELY ON DEMOCRATS TO PULL ALL THIS OFF. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STANDING HERE. DEMOCRATS ARE MEETING DOWN THIS HALLWAY IN CAUCUS. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS.

WILL THEY BAILOUT JOHNSON? WILL THEY HELP HIM GIVE HIM THE NECESSARY VOTES, EVEN GET THIS THROUGH THE PROCEDURAL HURDLES IT NEEDS TO GET THROUGH? AND THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE. SO I ASKED ONE DEMOCRAT WHO HAS A LOT OF SWAY IN THIS CAUCUS,.

FORMER SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI. SHOULD DEMOCRATS GIVE THE VOTES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? >> HERE'S WHAT SHE TOLD. >> WELL, I THINK THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD VOTE FOR THE RULE BECAUSE THE SPEAKER HAS GIVEN THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY,.

YES OR NO, ON DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IN THE BILL. WHY WON'T THE REPUBLICANS TAKE YES FOR AN ANSWER FROM THEIR SPEAKER IF SPEAKER JOHNSON GETS VACATED? >> YOU THINK DEMOCRATS SHOULD SAY IF IT OR WOULD THAT BE UP TO HAKEEM JEFFRIES?.

SO NOT AN ANSWER ON WHETHER DEMOCRATS SHOULD SAVE JOHNSON IF HE DOES GET VACATED BY THOSE HARD LINERS WHO SAY THEY DO NOT LIKE THESE BILLS THAT HE HAS PUT FORWARD. BUT SPEAKER PELOSI ALSO SAYING THERE THAT SHE BELIEVES REPUBLICANS SHOULD VOTE FOR.

THIS RULE. IT SHOULD BE ON THEM. THAT'S LIKELY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN HERE, ALEX. AND SO THE QUESTION STILL HANGING OVER DEMOCRATS, IS WILL THEY HELP THE SPEAKER TEE UP THESE BILLS FOR A VOTE? >> WELL, AND IF THEY DO.

MENTIONED HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON FACING A THREAT FROM HIS OWN PARTY TO OUST HIM FROM THE ROLE BY COLLABORATING WITH DEMOCRATS, HE'S FOCUSING ON ON DOING HIS JOB AND PASSING THESE FOREIGN AID AID PACKAGES, REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES.

BUT HOW HOW THAT KIND OF HOW IS THAT KIND OF PLAYING OUT WITHIN WITHIN HIS OWN CAUCUS? >> LOOK, WE'RE SEEING HARD LINERS SAY THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH DECISION MADE BY JOHNSON. AT LEAST TWO HAVE COME OUT AND SAID THEY BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO GO.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS ONE OF THEM. SHE HAS MADE IT NO SECRET THAT SHE NO FAN OF THE SPEAKER THESE DAYS. THOMAS MASSIE IS ANOTHER AND WE'VE HEARD FROM HARDLINERS WHO SAY, LOOK, THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS.

PACKAGE, KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON JOHNSON. SOME HAVE EVEN GONE AS FAR AS TO SAY THEY'VE LOST TRUST IN THE SPEAKER. AND SO IF THESE BILLS GO TO THE FLOOR, THE QUESTION HANGING OVER THESE HARD LINE REPUBLICANS IS WILL THEY MAKE.

GOOD ON THEIR THREATS TO JOHNSON'S? AND IF THAT HAPPENS, WILL JOHNSON NEED TO TURN TO DEMOCRATIC TO OFFSET THOSE HARD LINE REPUBLICAN NO VOTES THAT MIGHT EVENTUALLY GO FOR HIS JOB? NOW, WE KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT AN.

IMMEDIATE PROBLEM FACING JOHNSON, MARJORIE TAYLOR, GREENE HAS SAID SHE'S NOT GOING TO MOVE TO OUST JOHNSON, EVEN IF SHE DOES UNTIL THESE FOREIGN AID BILLS GO TO THE FLOOR. BUT CERTAINLY THERE WAS THIS CLOUD HANGING OVER JOHNSON'S SPEAKERSHIP AND HE HAS.

SAID HE'S WILLING TO PUT IT ON THE LINE TO THIS AID, PARTICULARLY AID FOR UKRAINE, WHICH IS CONTROVERSIAL AMONG REPUBLICANS ON THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE. ALL RIGHT, JAY O'BRIEN THANKS FOR TRACKING THIS FOR US FROM CAPITOL HILL.

THE ABORTION RIGHTS BATTLE IN ARIZONA IS GROWING. FOR THE SECOND TIME, REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE BLOCKED A DEMOCRATIC EFFORT TO REPEAL THE CIVIL WAR LAW THAT ESSENTIALLY BANS ABORTION ACCESS THERE.

THIS COMES AFTER THE BAN WAS REINSTATED LAST WEEK BY ARIZONA'S SUPREME COURT. ABC'S ELIZABETH SCHULZE HAS THE LATEST FROM PHOENIX, ARIZONA. >> REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS DEFIANT ,REFUSING TO REPEAL A 160 YEAR OLD LAW BANNING NEARLY.

ALL ABORTIONS IN THE STATE. >> LEGISLATURES ARE NOT BUILT FOR KNEE REACTIONS. ALL BUT ONE REPUBLICAN IN THE STATE HOUSE DECLINING TO JOIN DEMOCRATS TO FAST TRACK LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ROLL BACK THE LAW. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME.

TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE. >> STATE SENATORS ARE NOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR OWN BILL TO REPEAL IT. >> BUT THAT PROCESS TAKE WEEKS. THIS IS A STAIN ON OUR HISTORY . THIS MAN EVEN EXISTS FROM A TIME WHEN THE AGE OF CONSENT.

WAS TEN. FROM TIME WHEN WOMEN DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. >> THE LAW PROHIBITS ABORTION IN EVERY INSTANCE EXCEPT ONE, TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A MOTHER IF NO REPEAL IS PASSED. THE BAN COULD TAKE EFFECT AS AS JUNE.

>> EFFECTIVELY, OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE ABORTION CARE GOES AWAY. SO IF THIS LAW STANDS, YOU CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE ABORTIONS HERE. >> THAT IS CORRECT. HEADER CLINIC IN PHOENIX. DR. DESHAWN TAYLOR TELLING.

PATIENTS THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE CARE THEY NEED. >> WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING WEEK BY WEEK BECAUSE THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN WE'LL HAVE TO STOP. OUR THANKS TO ELIZABETH SCHULZE THAT.

AND TENSIONS ARE GROWING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AFTER IRAN'S OPPRESSIVE IN AN ATTACK AGAINST ISRAEL. NOW, THREE ISRAELI SOURCES TELLING ABC NEWS ISRAEL PREPARED FOR AND THEN ABORTED RETALIATORY AIRSTRIKES AGAINST IRAN ON AT LEAST TWO NIGHTS.

SEVERAL ISRAELI SOLDIERS. THE IDF SAYING IT STRUCK BACK AGAINST HEZBOLLAH ASSETS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON. AND IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNTS AID GETTING INTO NORTHERN GAZA, WHERE AID AGENCIES HAVE BEEN WARNING OF A POTENTIAL FAMINE. ISRAEL SAYING THE FIRST.

SHIPMENTS OF UNDER IT HAVE BEEN PROCESSED OUT OF THE PORT OF ASHDOD, JUST NORTH OF GAZA. AND THAT'S SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE FREEING UP THE HUMANITARIAN AID, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY STUCK IN THE PORT OF ARSENAL, WAS A DEMAND FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO THE.

ISRAELI GOVERNMENT IN THE WAKE OF THAT DEADLY ISRAELI STRIKE IN GAZA, WHICH KILLED SEVEN AID WORKERS FROM AMERICAN NGO WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN. BUT AID AGENCIES ARE STILL WARNING THAT MUCH MORE AID NEEDS TO GET INTO NORTHERN GAZA AND CRUCIALLY, BE DISTRIBUTED.

TO A ROCKY START IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH TWO SEATED JURORS, ONE WHO APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DISMISSED AFTER TELLING THE JUDGE SHE WORRIED THAT SHE BE IMPARTIAL. AND THIS COMES AS PROSECUTORS.

ARE URGING THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT, ALLEGING MORE GAG ORDER THE JUDGE IS HOPING WAS HOPING FOR OPENING STATEMENTS BEGINNING MONDAY AS, LONG AS 12 JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES HAD BEEN SEATED BY THEN. TRUMP HAS NOT GUILTY.

TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS AND TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA OLIVIA RUBIN JOINS ME NOW ALONGSIDE ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI.

AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR FOR NEW YORK SOUTHERN DISTRICT. COHEN NOWADAY. OLIVIA, I WANT TO START WITH YOU HERE. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THESE JURORS WERE ALREADY SEATED. SO TWO SEPARATE ISSUES HERE.

FIRST, WE HAVE JUROR NUMBER TWO, WHO HAS NOW JUST BEEN DISMISSED FROM THE CASE. AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE JUDGE SAID THAT SHE CALLED IN LAST NIGHT AND SAID THAT SHE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT HER ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO SERVE. AND THEN THEY BROUGHT.

THAT JUROR, JUROR NUMBER TWO, SHE'S AN ONCOLOGY NURSE INTO THE COURTROOM. AND SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT HER IDENTITY BEING REVEALED. THERE WAS INFORMATION THAT SHE FELT COULD PINPOINT HER AND THAT SHE WAS ALREADY HEARING.

FROM FAMILIES AND COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS THAT THEY THOUGHT HER IDENTITY WAS A REAL. SO SHE SAID SHE DEFINITELY HAS CONCERNS AND NO LONGER FELT SHE COULD BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL BECAUSE OF IT. AND THE JUDGE DISMISSED HER ON THE SPOT SAYING WE JUST LOST.

A GOOD JUROR. >> AND THEN IT PIVOTED OVER TO JUROR NUMBER FOUR, WHO HAS NOT YET BEEN DISMISSED. AND THE ISSUE HASN'T BEEN SETTLED. BUT THE ISSUE WITH JUROR NUMBER FOUR IS THAT HE WAS NOT TRUTHFUL ON HIS QUESTIONNAIRE.

AND WHAT A.D.A. JOSH STEIN GLASS SAID WAS THAT THEY LOOKED INTO HIS ANSWERS, FOUND THAT HE HAD POTENTIALLY BEEN ARRESTED BACK IN THE 1990S. AND HERE IS THE KICKER FOR RIPPING DOWN POLITICAL POSTERS OF THE POLITICAL RIGHT. THAT IS HOW JOSH STEIN GLASS.

FRAMED IT. SO THAT'S A PROBLEM NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S A POLITICAL MOTIVATION, BUT ALSO BECAUSE IN HIS ANSWER ON QUESTIONS, THE QUESTIONNAIRE TO QUESTION 19, HE SAID THAT HE HAD NOT HAD PAST RUN INS WITH THE LAW OR BEEN.

CONVICTED OF A CRIME, AND IT DOES NOT THERE. LET ME ADD ONE MORE THING ON TOP OF IT. THAT JUROR, JOSH STEIN GLASS, SAID THEY BELIEVED HIS WIFE HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN SOME SORT OF A CORRUPTION ISSUE THAT CAUSED HER TO ENTER INTO A DEFERRED.

PROSECUTION AN AGREEMENT WITH THE VERY OFFICE THAT IS TARGETING DONALD TRUMP, THE MANHATTAN OFFICE, THOUGH, THEY SAID THEY FELT THEY HAD AN ETHICAL OBLIGATION, PUT THAT FORWARD. TRUMP'S ATTORNEYS WANTING TO QUESTION JUROR NUMBER FOUR.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AN HOUR AGO. AND AS OF 950, HE WAS STILL NOT HERE. SO WE ARE WAITING TO SEE THE OUTCOME OF WHAT HAPPENS WITH JUROR NUMBER FOUR. BUT SO FAR, DARYL, NUMBER TWO GONE.

JUROR NUMBER FOUR APPEARS TO BE ON THE ROCKS. I'M NOT SURE. WELL, JOHN, I WANT TO BRING IT TO YOU ON THIS. LOOK, WE UNDERSTAND WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE SETBACKS, BUT THIS IS ALSO.

THIS IS PART OF THE PROCESS 100%. >> AND I THINK ANYBODY THAT, YOU KNOW, SUDDENLY THOUGHT, OH, WELL, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO GO SO SMOOTHLY. YOU HADN'T BEEN WATCHING A DONALD TRUMP MOVIE FOR THE LAST EIGHT OR NINE YEARS.

THE REALITY IS, IS THAT THIS IS HOW THIS PROCESS GOES. AND IN SOME WAYS, YOU KNOW, WE TALK THIS A LOT OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR THAT, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP IN SOME WAYS HAS PROVIDED A GREAT DEAL OF INSIGHT INTO THE CIVIL PROCESS OVER THE LAST YEAR,.

GIVEN HOW MANY INDICTMENTS HE'S HAD. AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE NO CAMERAS IN COURT. OLIVIA IS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT GETS A HISTORIC FRONT ROW SEAT TO EVERYTHING HAPPEN.

I'M JEALOUS LIVE, YOU KNOW THAT. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING RIGHT NOW TO SEE THAT PLAY OUT, TO SEE THE CONVERSATION, THE DIALOGS, HOW JURORS GET SEATED. ALSO THE FACT THAT A GAG ORDER HAS BEEN VIOLATED POTENTIALLY NOW NUMEROUS TIMES.

ALL OF THAT, THIS PROCESS AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT SUDDENLY STOP. WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE MORE WORK TO DO. AND THE CURIOUS THING WILL BE HOW QUICKLY GIVEN POTENTIALLY NOW THESE TWO WERE REMOVED, HOW QUICKLY THE REST OF THE.

JURY SEATED AND WE'RE OFF TO THE RACES, CREDITING THE FORMER PRESIDENT WITH GIVING US ALL A COLLECTIVE LESSON IN CIVICS THERE. I KIND OF WANT TO GIVE IT TO YOU HERE AS FORMER PROSECUTOR HERE. >> I MEAN, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING.

AT JURY SELECTION, WHAT WHAT WHAT YOU WANT ON THAT JURY, IT'S NOT JUST IT'S NOT JUST THE BACKGROUNDS OF THESE INDIVIDUALS. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE CONSIDERING HOW HOW THEY WOULD PLAY TOGETHER IN A ROOM. CORRECT?.

>> ABSOLUTELY. WHAT YOU WANT FROM JURORS IS A JURY THAT'S GOING TO WORK TOGETHER. AND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE OPEN MINDED AND PEOPLE GENERALLY WHO HAVE COMMON SENSE. >> BUT WHAT YOU TYPICALLY DON'T.

WANT ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO STRONG MINDED, PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PERSUADABLE, AND PEOPLE WHO WON'T LISTEN TO THE FACTS AND WON'T FOLLOW THE JUDGE'S INSTRUCTIONS. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. YOU'RE LOOKING FOR FOLKS.

WHO ARE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER BECAUSE. IT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH JOB, ESPECIALLY IN A CASE LIKE THIS, WHEN JURY DELIBERATIONS BEGIN. >> WELL, AND OLIVIA, THE OTHER THING THAT'S BEEN TALKED TODAY AND PROSECUTORS BRINGING UP THESE ALLEGED GAG ORDER.

VIOLATIONS AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT, WHAT CAN YOU SHARE ON THAT? WELL, EARLIER IN THE WEEK, THEY BROUGHT UP THAT DONALD TRUMP HAD VIOLATED, IN THEIR VIEW, THE GAG ORDER THREE TIMES. AND THEY CAME BACK THIS MORNING.

TO SAY THAT THERE SEVEN MORE VIOLATIONS IN THEIR OPINION. AND THEY WERE VERY CLEAR. THEY SAID IT'S RIDICULOUS AND IT NEEDS TO STOP AND REMEMBER THAT ONE PERSON HAS SET A HEARING FOR NEXT WEEK ON THE ISSUE OF THE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS WITH THE D.A.'S.

OFFICE ASKING TO HOLD DONALD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT. AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD ADD ON THESE ALLEGED SEVEN NEW VIOLATIONS, BUT SPECIFICALLY SOMETHING THE D.A.'S OFFICE POINTED OUT IN DONALD TRUMP'S POST WITH ONE POST WHERE HE ALLEGEDLY.

WROTE ABOUT, QUOTE, LIBERAL TRYING TO MAKE THEIR WAY ON TO THE HERE. AND THE D.A.'S OFFICE SAID THAT THAT WAS PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THEY HAD JUST HEARD FROM JUROR NUMBER TWO WHO HAD CONCERNS ABOUT HER IDENTITY BEING REVEALED.

SO THEY TOOK PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH, THAT POSTER AND DONALD TRUMP POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, CAUSING ISSUE THE JURORS WHEN THEY HAD JUST LOST ONE JUROR FOR THAT EXACT. AND THEY ARE ALSO TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, ASKING FOR.

A FINANCIAL PENALTIES FOR DONALD TRUMP. THEY WANTED $1,000 FOR EACH POST THAT HE VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER WITH. BUT THEY SAID ESSENTIALLY THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING AMPING THAT UP AND THAT THEY ARE STILL REVIEWING.

WHAT EXACTLY IT IS THEY'RE GOING TO ASK FOR. NOW WITH THESE SEVEN NEW VIOLATIONS. SO FIRST, IT WAS A FINANCIAL PENALTY AND ARE WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY GO UP TO AS THEY TRY TO MAKE THESE POSTS FROM DONALD TRUMP STOP AND LOOK.

>> JOHN WE KNOW THAT THESE POSTS ARE ALL FUEL FOR TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN BY NOW. BUT, YOU KNOW, HIS IS HIS BIGGEST WEAPON WHENEVER IT COMES TO CAMPAIGNING IS ACTUALLY BEING IN PERSON, HOLDING RALLIES AND GETTING OUT.

AND WE KNOW THAT HIM HAVING TO BE IN COURT FOR FOR MUCH OF THIS TRIAL THAT IS GOING TO TO HINDER THAT SIGNIFICANTLY . SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN FOR HIS CAMPAIGN? WELL, IT MEANS IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, THE REALITY, RIGHT?.

I MEAN, OLIVIA RACHEL SCOTT AND I IN KATHERINE FAULDERS HAVE ALL BEEN HEARING THE SAME THING. THE CAMPAIGN IS HORRIBLY FRUSTRATED BY THIS BECAUSE IT'S TWO THINGS, RIGHT? THEY NEED TO BUILD UP SUPPORT BY GETTING THERE AND ACTUALLY.

SEEING VOTERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. AS YOU MENTIONED, THE OTHER YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER TO THE OTHER PART OF WHAT'S IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW IS ACTUALLY BUILDING UP THE CAMPAIGN COFFER BRAND. THE SO IF YOU CAN GO OUT AND ACTUALLY DO FUNDRAISERS,.

GET TO COME IN AND SUPPORT YOU AND DONATE A LOT OF THAT GLAD HANDING THAT HAS TO HAPPEN. THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR THE CAMPAIGN. AND WE MUST REMIND PEOPLE, TOO, THE BIGGEST EXPENSE FOR DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN THE LEGAL LAST.

YEAR ALONE, $50 MILLION. ALEX CAME OUT OF DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN COFFERS TO PAY FOR ALL THE ATTORNEYS WORKING ALL OF THESE CASES. THEY NEED THE CASH. HE'S GOT TO CAMPAIGN. CAN'T DO THAT WHILE. YOU'RE IN COURT.

WELL, JOHN, OLIVIA AND JOHN, THANK YOU ALL. WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. AND COMING UP, WHY AN NBA PLAYER IS NOW BANNED FOR LIFE FROM THE LEAGUE. THE PRECEDENT THIS MOVE COULD.

FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT'S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER GET YOUR PODCASTS. >> START HERE. WELCOME BACK. THE NBA HAD JUST HANDED DOWN OF ITS HARSHEST PUNISHMENTS EVER TO A PLAYER.

TORONTO RAPTORS CENTER JONTAY PORTER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR LIFE AFTER AN INVESTIGATION THAT UNCOVERED HIS ALLEGED CONNECTION TO SPORTS BETTING, DISCLOSING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. BETTORS LIMITING HIS OWN PLAYING TIME AND EVEN BETTING.

ON A GAME HIMSELF. ABC'S WOOD JOHNSON HAS MORE ON THE BANNING JONTAY PORTER OF THE TORONTO RAPTORS FOR LIFE. THE 24 YEAR OLD'S PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL CAREER DERAILED FOR VIOLATING THE LEAGUE'S RULES ON SPORTS BETTING, AN.

INVESTIGATION CONCLUDING HE ALLEGEDLY AT LEAST 13 BETS ON NBA GAMES UNDER AN ASSOCIATES ACCOUNT RANGING FROM $15 TO 22,000, TOTALING MORE THAN $54,000. THIS WILL HAVE A DEFINITE IMPACT ON THE GAMING MARKET AND WHAT OFFERED TO BE FROM.

SPORTSBOOKS ON THE NBA. >> PORTER ALSO ACCUSED BETTING AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM AND DISCLOSING PRIVATE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS HEALTH STATUS TO SOMEONE PLACING BETS ON HIS GAME STATS AND, THEN EVEN LEAVING A GAME EARLY CITING ILLNESS.

THE NBA COMMISSIONER RELEASING A STATEMENT SAYING IN PART, THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF NBA COMPETITION, WHICH IS WHY IS BLATANT VIOLATIONS OF OUR GAME RULES ARE BEING MET WITH THE MOST SEVERE PUNISHMENT.

>> BET ON ANYTHING AND FOR JUST LAST YEAR ALONE, SPORTS BETTING IN THIS COUNTRY PASSING THE $100 BILLION MARK WITH EASY TO USE APPS AND CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS, HELPING TO FUEL ITS POPULARITY. >> SINCE WE HAVE THE VISIBILITY OF THOSE BETS THAT WERE PLACED.

ON THESE GAMES THAT PORTER IS INVOLVED IN, IT WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEM AND COME TO THIS INVESTIGATION PRETTY QUICKLY. OUR THANKS TO WHIT JOHNSON FOR THAT. AND I WANT TO BRING IN ESPN REPORTER DAVID PURDUM,.

WHO COVERS SPORTS GAMBLING FOR OUR SISTER NETWORK AND HAS BEEN TRACKING THIS STORY. DAVID, THANKS FOR JOINING US. I WANT TO START BECAUSE THE NBA HAS SAID THAT THIS INVESTIGATION REMAINS OPEN AND IS THAT AN INDICATION THAT THERE STILL MAY BE OTHERS.

INVOLVED? >> NOT NECESSARILY OTHERS INVOLVED, BUT I'M SURE THEY ARE SHARING INFORMATION, AS THEY SAID, WITH FEDERAL PROSECUTORS. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHO THE ASSOCIATES WERE, THAT THE INFORMATION WAS SHARED WITH, WHO PLACED SOME OF THOSE.

BETS. AND THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER GAMES IMPACTED. SO THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR, BUT THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE, AND THAT IS IN THAT CONTEXT.

WELL, AND THE OTHER THING THAT THE RED FLAG THAT REGULATORS HERE WERE DRAWN TO WERE THE REGULAR BETTING PATTERNS, THE ACTION ON TWITTER. BUT THIS IS HARDLY THE FIRST TIME, THOUGH. THE FIRST HIGH PROFILE INSTANCE.

SINCE THE SUPREME COURT PAVED THE WAY FOR SPORTS BETTING TO BECOME LEGAL IN 2018. I MEAN, I'M CURIOUS, ARE WE GETTING A SENSE OF JUST HOW PREVALENT SPORTS BETTING IS AMONGST ATHLETES AND COACHING STAFFS? >> WE CERTAINLY HAVE MORE.

VISIBILITY INTO THE MARKETS THAN WE EVER HAVE BEFORE. SPORT SPORTS BETTING WAS BROUGHT INTO THE LIGHT 2018 THE SUPREME COURT DECISION. BEFORE, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH RESTRICTED PRIMARILY TO NEVADA OFFSHORE SPORTSBOOK AND LOCAL BOOKMAKERS.

AND WHEN SOMETHING WAS UNTOWARD HAPPENING IN THOSE VENUES IN THE WORLD, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THAT. SO THIS NEW VISIBILITY OF THE LEGAL AS LEGALIZED MARKET IS ALLOWING US TO SEE HOW PREVALENT WE HAVE IN THESE BETTORS ARE BETTING.

APPROPRIATELY. >> YEAH. HE RECENTLY WROTE THAT WITH REGARD TO SPORTS BETTING, PERHAPS THE SAFEST BET IS THAT THERE WILL BE MORE CONTROVERSIES. THIS IS AN INDUSTRY THAT STILL HAS ROOM TO GROW, RIGHT?.

I MEAN, CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS, THE TWO MOST POPULATED STATES IN THE COUNTRY AND YET TO LEGALIZE IT. SO, I MEAN, HOW DO YOU PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF SPORTS, KNOWING THAT THIS INDUSTRY IS IS ONLY GOING TO GROW? >> YEAH, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.

TO STOP SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO BREAK THE RULES THAT ARE PUT IN PLACE. IT'S VERY EASY FOR ANYONE WHO SHOULD NOT BE BETTING TO HAND THEIR PHONE OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE OR TELL THEIR FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND THEY PLACE THIS BET FOR ME.

BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS TRY TO PUT DETERRENTS IN PLACE AND A LIFETIME BAN LIKE WE'RE SEEING IN THE NBA NOW CERTAINLY WOULD HOPE BE THAT DETERRENCE. I ALSO THINK WE COULD RESTRICT THE OPTIONS OF BETTING. MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW BETTING ON PLAYERS THAT ARE.

ON TWO WAY CONTRACTS, LIKE OLDER ONES THAT HAVE A SMALLER SALARIES. OR MAYBE WE EVEN MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T ACCEPT. LARGE BETS ON THESE TYPES OF POPULAR PRODUCTS. MAKE BETTING LIMITS MAYBE NEED TO DO SO.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT INTEGRITY. >> WELL, THAT LIFETIME BAN CERTAINLY DOES SEND A MESSAGE. ESPN BETTING REPORTER DAVE PURDUM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. AND JUST MONTHS AWAY FROM.

THE PARIS OLYMPICS, SIMONE BILES IS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES THAT LED HER TO WITHDRAW FROM EVENTS IN THE TOKYO GAMES. THE FOUR TIME GOLD MEDALIST SAYS IT FELT LIKE AN ISSUE VERY FEW COULD RELATE TO AND THAT A PHYSICAL INJURY WOULD.

HAVE BEEN EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. ABC'S LARA SPENCER ATHLETES AMERICA HATES ME. THE WORLD IS GOING TO HATE ME AND I CAN ONLY SEE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ON TWITTER RIGHT NOW. >> GYMNASTICS COACH SIMONE BILES OPENING UP LIKE NEVER.

BEFORE ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH BATTLE SHE FACED AT THE TOKYO SUMMER OLYMPICS IN 2021 THAT LED HER TO WITHDRAW FROM MULTIPLE EVENTS. >> I WOULD LITERALLY TELL THE TEAM MY TEAMMATES, LIKE, I'M FIGHTING DEMONS. I'M FIGHTING DEMONS RIGHT NOW.

SO I LITERALLY FELT LIKE I WAS FIGHTING MY BODY, MY MIND TO DO THESE TRICKS. >> THE FOUR TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SITTING DOWN WITH ALEX COOPER ON THE CALL OF DUTY PODCAST ON WEDNESDAY TALKING ABOUT HER DECISION TO REMOVE HERSELF FROM.

THE WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS ALL ROUND FINAL AFTER EXPERIENCING WHAT SHE CALLED THE TWISTIES. IT'S BASICALLY LIKE YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY IS AT A DISCONNECT. YOUR BODY IS GOING TO TRY DO SOMETHING AND YOUR MIND.

IS GOING TO BE LIKE, NO, YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS. THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN DOING SOMETHING FOR SO LONG AND YOU NOW NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL. >> TERRIFYING BILES, RECALLING THE SHAKY ROUTINE THAT PROMPTED HER TO WITHDRAW.

I GO TO TELL MY COACH AND I SAID, I'M DONE. I'M NOT DOING ANYMORE. BECAUSE IF I SURVIVE THAT, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH ELSE I CAN SURVIVE. LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, I'M A CAT WITH NINE LIVES. BUT I THINK THAT WAS MY NINTH.

>> I'M DONE. THAT DECISION SENDING SHOCKWAVES ACROSS THE GLOBE AS SHE PULLED HERSELF FROM HER REMAINING EVENTS, BUT EVENTUALLY MANAGING COMPETE ON THE BEAM WHERE SHE WON A BRONZE MEDAL. THE WOMEN'S TEAM GOING ON TO.

WIN THE SILVER. IF SHE AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES, THE GRANDEST STAGE IN HER SPORT, WITH SO MANY EXPECTATIONS ON HER, IF SHE COULD SAY, I CAN'T GO ON, THEN THAT CERTAINLY GAVE SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, ATHLETES OR NOT THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE.

OPENING FOR THEM TO SAY, HEY, I NEED HELP. >> BILES SAYING THAT MOMENT WAS THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF TRAUMA, INCLUDING THE ABUSE SHE SUFFERED AT HANDS OF CONVICTED GYMNASTICS DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR. IT WASN'T A MENTAL INJURY.

THAT HAPPENED, CALLED TWISTIES. IT'S LIKE COMPRESSING ALL OF THAT FOR SO MANY YEARS. >> IT JUST UNFOLDS LIKE LIKE YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T COMPRESS TRAUMA THAT MUCH LONGER. >> EXPERTS PRAISING SIMONE'S ABILITY TO STOP AND THROUGH IT. ONE THING LIVED.

SIMONE DID TEACH THE IS THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A LIFE LONG . THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE MANAGED DEALT WITH WITH THE HELP OF THERAPY AND TRAINING. >> BILES NOW HAS HER SIGHTS SET ON A POTENTIAL COMEBACK FOR.

PARIS 2024, CONTINUING TO WORK ON MY BODY AND MY MIND, JUST LIKE I HAVE THE PAST YEAR AND A AND IT'S WORKED. AND SO THAT JUST STAY ON TOP OF THAT. IT'S EXHAUSTING. >> BUT LIKE, I HAVE TO DO IT. IT'S — IT'S WORKING.

LOUIS VUITTON. THE PRIDE OF THE COUNTRY. GET EVERYTHING TO MAKE A SUPER FAKE IS EASIER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE. ANYBODY CAN BE FOOLED. ANYBODY SUPER FAKES. >> NOW STREAMING ON HULU FOR FREE FROM INDIANAPOLIS,.

I'M SOMARA THEODORE. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE . >> WELCOME BACK. THE CDC AND FDA ARE INVESTIGATING CASES OF FAKE BOTOX AND MISHANDLED BOTULINUM.

TOXIN AFTER AT LEAST 19 PEOPLE ACROSS NINE STATES WERE GIVEN BAD SHOTS. OFFICIALS SAY THE BOTOX WAS EITHER COUNTERFEIT OR ADMINISTERED BY SOMEONE WHO WAS UNLICENSED, UNTRAINED AND IN SOME CASES, INJECTIONS WERE GIVEN TO NON HEALTH CARE.

IN A NON-HEALTH CARE SETTINGS LIKE HOMES OR SPAS. DERMATOLOGIST MICHELLE HENRY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. DR.. BOTOX IS A NAME BRAND OF ONE FORM OF BOTULINUM TOXIN. THERE ARE FIVE FDA APPROVED FORMS OF THE DRUG.

SO HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING. >> SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE SOURCE WHO'S INJECTING IT. SO THESE COMPANIES THAT CREATE THESE NEUROTOXINS ARE REALLY WELL REGULATED, I THINK TO SOME OF THE FACTORY IS A LEVEL.

OF SCIENTIFIC RIGOR AND QUALITY CONTROL AS HIGH AS THEY ALLOW LICENSED PRACTITIONERS TO PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCT. >> SO IF NOT A LICENSED PRACTITIONER, THEY LIKELY DO NOT HAVE THE BRANDED PRODUCT, WHICH IS SAFE. >> WELL, AND ALSO FOR THOSE.

CONSIDERING BOTOX WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD THEY BE ASKING BEFORE GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL. >> SO YOU WANT TO AGAIN MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A LICENSED PRACTITIONER THAT YOU'RE HAVING IT DONE IN A MEDICAL OFFICE, A HEALTH CARE SPACE, SO.

THAT YOU'RE CERTAIN THAT THE QUALITY CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING THE BOTTLE, IT'S OKAY TO ASK. >> IT SHOULD SAY A LITTLE BOTULINUM TOXIN THAT IS A GENERIC NAME. SO A LOT OF THE COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS, BOTOX TYPE AID, WHICH.

IS NOT WHAT THE ADD THE PRODUCT HAS ON IT, THAT THE LANGUAGE IS IN ENGLISH. SO ALL THE PRODUCT THAT'S DISTRIBUTED IN UNITED STATES, WHICH IS ALLOWED FOR US TO USE, HAS ENGLISH WRITTEN THE BOTTLE. MAKE SURE THAT'S 100 UNITS. SO THAT'S WHAT WE SEE FOR BOTOX.

,YOU KNOW, THE COUNTERFEITS AND 150. SO LOOKING FOR THOSE MARKERS ARE REALLY CRITICAL. >> AND DON'T SHY AWAY FROM ASKING YOUR PRACTITIONER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. >> ANDREW. WELL, AND ALSO JUST BIG PICTURE.

HERE. WHAT IS BOTOX AND WHAT ARE THE RISKS SURROUNDING IT? >> SO BOTOX AND BRAND IT'S ONLY BOTULINUM TOXIN THAT IS A HIGHLY PURIFIED FORM OF BOTTOM AND TOXINS AND BOTULINUM TOXIN IS MADE BY A STUDY OF BOTULINUM.

THAT'S A BACTERIA. AND IN REALLY HIGH DOSES, IT CAN CAUSE PARALYSIS, PARALYSIS. IT CAN ACTUALLY AFFECT OUR MUSCLES THAT WE REQUIRE TO BREATHE. SO CAN BE FATAL. >> AND WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE BOTULINUM TOXIN.

COSMETICALLY IS IT'S SO DILUTE AND SO PURIFIED THAT IT'S ALLOWING US TO RELAX THE MUSCLES TEMPORARILY FOR COSMETIC BENEFIT. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE IT'S A VERY REGULATED DOSE, A VERY TINY DOSE THAT REALLY REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT TO DO WELL.

>> AND IS THERE ANY ANY GUIDELINES FOR FOR A A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX? >> SO A GREAT CANDIDATE IF SOMEONE WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES DO THOSE NUMBER ELEVENS ON THE FOREHEAD, THE HORIZONTAL ON THE FOREHEAD ARE REALLY.

COMMON AREAS THAT WHAT WE CALL THE CROW'S FEET, THOSE LINES THAT YOU GET FROM SMILING AROUND THE EYES, THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON AREAS IN THE FDA APPROVED AREAS THAT WE. SO ANYONE LOOKING TO RELAX THOSE MUSCLES TEMPORARILY IS A.

CANDIDATE. >> DERMATOLOGIST DR. MICHELLE HENRY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FAKE LUXURY BAGS ARE GETTING A LOT OF HYPE. SOCIAL MEDIA AND NOW CONCERNS ARE GROWING THAT THE KNOCKOFFS MAY BE DISRUPTING TRADITIONAL VIEWS ON VALUE.

AND AUTHENTICITY. COUNTERFEIT HANDBAGS HAVE EVOLVED FROM POORLY MADE IMITATIONS INTO FINELY CRAFTED REPLICAS. SO-CALLED SUPER FAKES THAT ARE SO CLOSE TO THE SO CLOSE TO THE ORIGINALS THAT EXPERTS HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING A DIFFERENCE.

JANAI NORMAN TALKS TO LAW ABOUT WHAT'S BEHIND THE SHADOW WORLD OF FAKE HANDBAGS. >> DISTRIBUTION DUPES AND REPLICAS ARE TAKING OVER. SOME OF THESE ARE CHEF'S KISS. >> FEELS LIKE REAL DEODORANT TO AT A TIME WHEN HIGH END LUXURY BRANDS LIKE CHANEL.

AND PRADA CONTINUE TO BOOST THEIR PRICES, SOME CONSUMERS ARE TURNING TO SO-CALLED SUPER FAKES. THEY'RE CONSIDERED HIGH QUALITY FAKES NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE REAL THING. BUT FOR A MUCH LOWER PRICE. >> 20 YEARS AGO, COUNTERFEITS.

WERE TERRIBLE AND THOSE THINGS WERE $25 ON CANAL STREET, YOU KNOW? NOW, COUNTERFEITS ARE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS POTENTIALLY. SOME COUNTERFEIT GHERKINS ARE LIKE 6000 PLUS DOLLARS. HANDMADE FAKE BAG. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED.

A STUDY, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY SAYS COUNTERFEITERS ARE NORMALIZING STIGMA OF OWNING COUNTERFEITS, IN PART BY INFLUENCERS TO PEDDLE THEIR PRODUCTS AND 2023 HANDBAGS AND WALLETS RANKED AS THE SECOND MOST SEIZED COUNTERFEIT ITEM BY U.S.

CUSTOMS. WORTH OVER $600 MILLION IN ESTIMATED RETAIL VALUE. BUYING YOURSELF A COUNTERFEIT HANDBAG WON'T YOU? IN JAIL? BUT SELLING COUNTERFEITS IS A FEDERAL. WE DROVE INTO THE EVER.

UNDERWORLD OF SUPER FAKES. >> THAT'S CHALLENGING TRADITIONAL VIEWS ON VALUE AND AUTHENTICITY. THESE BAGS ARE NOT WORKS OF COMPLICATED FRESCO ARTS, MAKING SUPER FAKES, SUPER EASY TO BUY. IT WAS LIKE ALMOST.

DISAPPOINTINGLY EASY TO BANK OFF OF, QUITE FRANKLY. COUNTERFEITING IS A VERY LUCRATIVE INDUSTRY AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. LOUIS VUITTON, THE PRADA, THE CHRISTIAN DIOR, GUCCI. WE GET EVERYTHING. IT'S AN ANALYSTS FIGHT THAT WE.

YOU'RE STREAMING ABC LIVE. GOOD MORNING. I'M ALEX PRESHA TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST JURY SELECTION TODAY IS OFF TO A ROCKY START IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. BY PROSECUTORS ARE URGING.

THE JUDGE IN TRUMP'S CASE TO HOLD HIM IN CONTEMPT AND HOW AT LEAST HALF OF THE JURY POOL NOW SAYS THEY DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN BE IMPARTIAL. PUSHING FOR FOREIGN AID. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON URGES DEMOCRATS TO HELP HIM GET A BILL THROUGH.

WHERE THAT BILL STANDS AND WHY HARD LINE REPUBLICANS ARE THREATENING HIS JOB. AND HOW TIKTOK COULD BE TIED INTO THIS ALL. AND TWISTERS ON THE MOVE. MILLIONS BRACING FOR A NEW ROUND OF STORMS AFTER AT LEAST 27 REPORTED TORNADOES IN SEVEN.

STATES IN JUST THREE DAYS. WE THE TRACK AND TIMING OF THE SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS PLUS BREAKING INTO THE OLYMPICS. MEET THE AMERICAN BREAKDANCER WHO BE COMPETING FOR GOLD ON THE WORLD STAGE. NINE MORE PROSPECTIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN EXCUSED AFTER.

THEY SIGNALED THEY NOT SERVE IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. SO FAR, ONE JUROR HAS BEEN FORMALLY EXCUSED AND THERE ARE ISSUES WITH ANOTHER JUROR PAST THAT ARE RAISING CONCERNS . ANOTHER JURORS PASTS.

ARE RAISING CONCERNS. AND SO FAR, HALF THE JURY POOL HAS TOLD THE JUDGE THEY BELIEVE THEY COULD NOT BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL. THIS COMES AS PROSECUTORS ARE URGING THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT, ALLEGING MORE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS.

THE JUDGE IS HOPING THAT OPENING STATEMENTS WILL BEGIN ONE DAY AS LONGEST. ALL JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES HAVE BEEN SEATED BY THEN. TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS BEFORE.

THE 2016 ELECTION. I WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA JOINS ME NOW LIVE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR FOR NEW YORK'S SOUTHERN.

DISTRICT, CONNIE POWER DAY. NOW, OLIVIA, I WANT TO START WITH YOU ON THIS. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES THAT WE'RE HEARING ABOUT SOME OF THESE JURORS? >> WELL, THE FIRST WORD OR NUMBER TWO WAS DISMISSED.

BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY SHE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY AND HER IDENTITY BEING REVEALED AS PART OF THIS CASE. SHE CALLED IN LAST NIGHT, SAID SHE DIDN'T THINK SHE COULD DO IT ANYMORE AND CAME INTO COURT TODAY AND SAID THAT HER FAMILY AND HER FRIENDS HAD BEEN.

,YOU KNOW, RAISING QUESTIONS AND SHE NO LONGER FELT SHE COULD BE FAIR, IMPARTIAL BECAUSE OF IT. AND NOW I WILL SAY THEY ARE MOVING ON WITH THE SELECTION PROCESS RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE GOING TO NEED TO BACKFILL JUROR NUMBER TWO.

BUT THEY ARE RUNNING INTO SORT OF THE SAME SONG AND DANCE THAT THEY HAD YESTERDAY WHEN THEY STARTED WITH 96 JURORS. AND THEY SAID RIGHT OFF, THE BAT, WHO CAN'T BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL NOW THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CASE AND HALF OF THE ROOM RAISED.

THEIR HANDS AND I JUST SPOKE WITH ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS IN THAT ROOM AND THEN LEFT TAKING HIMSELF SAYING HE COULD NOT BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL BECAUSE HE DOES POLITICAL SATIRE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP ONLINE. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE FIRST JUROR, JUROR NUMBER TWO,.

WHO TOOK HERSELF OUT OF THE CASE, AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY BEEN FEARFUL HAD HE BEEN SEATED ON THIS JURY. SO IT'S POTENTIALLY SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO KEEP RUNNING INTO AS THEY GO THROUGH THIS JURY SELECTION PROCESS, TRYING.

TO FIND 12 JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES. >> WELL, AND JOHN, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS PART OF THE PROCESS. YEAH, RIGHT. BUT — BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT'S UNIQUE TO THIS CASE.

THERE WERE FEW PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY. THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT ARE AS FAMOUS AS DONALD TRUMP. AND KNOWING THAT THIS WAS HIS HOME FOR SO LONG, WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ENTER THAT COURTROOM AND THEY REALIZE.

THIS TRIAL IS ABOUT, THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT IT'S ON THE MINDS OF THESE ATTORNEYS A LOT. >> AND I THINK THE REALITY IS THE MAIN QUESTION PEOPLE ARE ASKED WHEN THEY GO OVER JURY DUTY, I'VE GONE I'M SURE YOU'VE AT ONE POINT IN YOUR LIFE,.

WHERE DO YOU KNOW THE DEFENDANT WHO'S GOING TO SAY NO? THAT REALLY IS THE BASIC QUESTION HERE. THE REALITY IS THAT EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET KNOWS WHO DONALD TRUMP IS, MEANING THAT NAME, NOT HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT HIM, BUT ARE INFORMED.

ABOUT HIM ENOUGH, AT LEAST HAVE SOME SORT OF A DISPOSITION BEFORE THEY SIT IN THAT BOX. AND LOOK, THE REALITY IS, IS THAT 42 QUESTIONS WAS WHAT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE HAD FOR POTENTIAL JURORS REALLY STUFF, RIGHT. BESIDES JUST THE OBVIOUS TALKED.

ABOUT WHERE YOU GET YOUR TRUTH SOCIAL OTHER PLATFORMS. I MEAN THAT REALLY DOES SPEAK VOLUMES, I THINK TO JUST YOU KNOW, HOW CONSEQUENTIAL THIS CASE IS AND HOW IT'S IS A CHALLENGE TO FIND FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURORS. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER.

IT'S NEW YORK, KANSAS, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA. >> IT'S STILL A CASE AND A PERSON THAT EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION AND CERTAINLY THE FACT THAT IT'S HAPPENING HERE IN MANHATTAN, THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT THE DEFENSE HAS POINTED THAT, YOU KNOW, IT.

WOULD BE HARD TO FIND. YEAH, BUT I WANT TO KICK THIS OVER TO YOU. IT WASN'T AS A FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR HERE, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR POTENTIAL JURORS. >> WHAT YOU LOOKING FOR? IT'S NOT IT'S NOT JUST THE BACKGROUND.

IT'S — IT'S ALSO HOW HOW THEY COOPERATE IN A DELIBERATION. WHAT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU BE LOOKING FOR? >> SOMETHING ELSE THAT I WOULD LOOK FOR, YOU KNOW, IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT THE PERSON THAT SAYS TO ME THAT THEY.

BE SEEN AS A LEADER IN THE JURY ROOM? >> RIGHT. AND IF SOMEBODY IS A LEADER AND YOU HAVE A SENSE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE A LEADER, THAT THE OTHER JURORS ARE GOING TO LOOK TO THEM. YOU WANT TO BE ABSOLUTELY.

CERTAIN THAT THAT'S A JUROR YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH, RIGHT? SO THAT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT I LOOK FOR. >> LIKE, WHO'S GOING TO BE THE ONE CONTROL ME AND THE OTHER JURORS ARE GOING TO LOOK TO YOU FOR GUIDANCE AS THE DELIBERATIONS PROCEED.

SO MY VIEW IS, IF SOMEBODY I GET A SENSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE A LEADER IN THAT JURY ROOM. I WANT TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THAT PERSON IS IMPARTIAL, UNBIASED AND SOMEBODY I WOULD LIKE ON THAT JURY. >> AND DOES YOUR CALCULATION.

CHANGE AT ALL IF THAT LEADER THAT YOU'VE IDENTIFIED THAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH, IS IT SELECTED AS AS A FOREPERSON, THE FOREMAN? >> NO, NO. THE FOREPERSON IS ALMOST ALWAYS KIND OF TITULAR IN SOME WAYS. >> THEY'RE THE ONE WHO.

ORGANIZES THINGS. BUT ULTIMATELY, THOSE DELIBERATIONS, EVERY JUROR HAS AN EQUAL VOTE. >> AND FOR THE PROSECUTION TO GET A CONVICTION. >> THEY NEED ALL 12 OF THEM TO BE UNANIMOUS. >> SO THERE IS GOING TO BE.

VIBRANT, AS THEY SHOULD BE, ROBUST DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION WHEN THIS CASE GOES TO THE JURY. AND IT'S REALLY GOING TO DEPEND ON, YOU KNOW, HOW THEIR OPINIONS, HOW CONSENSUS IS BUILT IN THAT ROOM. >> WELL, AND OLIVIA, ONE MORE.

THING, TOO. WE'RE FOLLOWING THE PROSECUTION ,BRINGING UP WHAT THEY CONSIDER ARE MORE ALLEGED GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS. WHAT CAN YOU SHARE WITH US ABOUT THAT? WELL, THEY STARTED EARLIER IN THE WEEK THAT THERE WERE.

THREE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS BY DONALD TRUMP NOW, OR THEY ARE ADDING ON SEVEN ADDITIONAL VIOLATIONS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN OCCURRING ON HIS TRUE SOCIAL ACCOUNT. AND THEY'RE BASICALLY ASKING JUDGE TO HOLD DONALD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT AND TO ADDRESS ALL TEN.

OF THESE VIOLATIONS AT A HEARING NEXT WEEK WHERE THE JUDGE IS GOING TO HEAR FROM BOTH SIDES. AND DONALD TRUMP'S TEAM IS PUSHING BACK ON THIS, SAYING THAT HE HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY SOME OF THE WITNESSES IN THE CASE AND HE MERELY RESPONDING.

TO THOSE ATTACKS. >> BUT I WILL SAY, JUDGE, ONE PERSON DID NOT SEEM TO APPRECIATE THAT ARGUMENT. I REMEMBER ON MONDAY, HE SAID, I DON'T REMEMBER THERE BEING A CARVE OUT IN GAG ORDER FOR WHEN DONALD TRUMP FEELS ATTACKED. AND WE WILL SEE WHAT ENDS UP.

HAPPENING WITH THIS. BUT THE QUESTION NOW BECOMES, WHAT IS THE PENALTY GOING BE? BECAUSE WHEN IT WAS JUST THREE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS, THE D.A.'S OFFICE WAS ASKING FOR $1,000 PER VIOLATION FOR A TOTAL OF $3,000. AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED.

THAT TODAY. THEY SAID WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR SANCTIONS, BUT MOVING FORWARD, WE ARE REASSESSING WHAT WE GOING TO BE ASKING FOR. SO ALL EYES ON WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING NOW AS POTENTIAL PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE SEVEN MORE POSTS IF.

THE JUDGE AGREES THEY WERE VIOLATIONS. ALL RIGHT. OLIVIA RUBIN, JOHN SANTUCCI, KAREN NOWADAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE RELEASED TEXT OF FOUR BILLS IN A PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES FOREIGN AID FOR UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TAIWAN. THE PUSH TO PASS THAT $95 BILLION PACKAGE COMES AS HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON IS FACING A THREAT WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY TO OUST HIM FROM HIS ROLE.

ABC'S JAY O'BRIEN JOINS ME NOW LIVE FROM CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE. WELL, JAKE, FIRST OFF, WHAT IS THE TEMPERATURE IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW? AND FRANKLY, I MEAN, IS THERE ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THESE BILLS .

>> TEMPERATURES HIGH, ALEX, PARTICULARLY AMONGST OUR LINE REPUBLICANS WHO SAY THEY HAVE LOST TRUST IN SPEAKER JOHNSON. ONE JUST SAID THAT HE HAS A CREDIBILITY PROBLEM IN GATHERING WITH A GAGGLE WITH MOMENTS AGO. AND DIFFERENT REPUBLICANS.

HAVE DIFFERENT ISSUES. THE SPEAKER. SOME DON'T LIKE THAT HE INCLUDED AID FOR UKRAINE IN THIS PACKAGE OF FOUR FOREIGN AID PACKAGES THAT WILL BE VOTED ON BY SATURDAY. OTHERS DON'T LIKE THAT HE PUT AID FOR UKRAINE IN THERE.

AND DIDN'T PUT IN ANY KIND OF BORDER BILL, ALTHOUGH JOHNSON DID PROPOSE A BORDER BILL THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE RULES COMMITTEE EARLIER. AND SO THE QUESTION BECOMES, HOW DOES JOHNSON GET THESE PASSED AND THEN ALSO HOW DOES HE DEFEND HIS ROLE AS SPEAKER,.

IF HE DOES GET THESE PASSED, CERTAINLY GET THIS LEGISLATION OVER THE GOAL LINE. HE'S GOING TO NEED TO RELY ON DEMOCRATS. THERE HAVE BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF REPUBLICAN DEFECTIONS WHO HAVE SAID ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR A THE PROCEDURAL.

VOTES THAT WOULD NEED TO TAKE UP THIS VOTE. AND THEN AGAIN, THESE PACKAGES, ONCE THEY'RE PUT UP FOR A VOTE. AND SO I ASKED ONE REPUBLICAN AND A A DOZEN OTHERS IN THE HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS, HARD LINE CONSERVATIVE, WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO HER IF JOHNSON HAS.

TO ON DEMOCRATS TO DO ALL OF THIS? HERE'S WHAT SHE TOLD. I'M LISTENING TO MY CONSTITUENTS ON THAT ONE. AND THERE IS MASSIVE CONCERN. I THINK I TOLD CHAD THIS THIS MORNING, BUT THERE'S MASSIVE CONCERN THAT THAT COULD.

POTENTIALLY COST US THE MAJORITY. I THINK A BIGGER ISSUE AT HAND RIGHT NOW IS, IS IT THAT WE HAVE MESSAGING COMING FROM THE SPEAKER THAT'S CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS BACK? AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A PRETTY.

STRAIGHT SHOOTER IN THAT YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT A VERY BIG AREA, OUR COUNTRY. IT'S A PROBLEM WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING WITH FOREIGN POLICY. AND SO THIRD IN LINE TO THE PRESIDENCY. >> AND I THINK HE NEEDS TO START ACTING LIKE SO.

THE THINGS SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS LISTENING TO HER CONSTITUENTS ON IS WHETHER OR NOT SHE WOULD SUPPORT A MOTION TO VACATE, WHICH WOULD BE THAT MOTION THAT MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE HAS BEEN SHOPPING AROUND TO OUST JOHNSON. AND SHE DIDN'T GO AS FAR AS.

TO SAY SHE WOULD SUPPORT THAT. THERE ARE OTHER HARD LINE CONSERVATIVES WHO HAVEN'T NECESSARILY SAID WHERE THEY ARE ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IF GREENE DOES BRING THIS MOTION, SHE HAS SAID SHE THINKS SHE HAS THE SUPPORT TO GET IT OVER THE GOAL LINE.

>> THE QUESTION DOES, DOES SHE REALLY AND DOES SHE WANT TO TAKE THAT STEP AND JUST SAYING, WELL, IN A MAJOR FOCUS OF ONE OF THESE BILLS IS A PROPOSAL TO BAN TIKTOK IF ITS PARENT, CHINESE DOESN'T SELL WITHIN A YEAR, HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT?.

>> IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT, ALEX, BECAUSE REMEMBER, THE HOUSE ALREADY PASSED A BIPARTISAN PIECE OF LEGISLATION AIMED AT TIK TOK. IT WOULD FORCE THE COMPANY, AS YOU SAID, TO DIVEST. THEY PASSED IT IN MARCH, BUT THEN IT KIND OF STALLED OUT.

IN THE SENATE. AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THEY'VE PUT IT IN THIS FOURTH BILL THAT'S PART OF THIS OF FOUR BILLS. THAT INCLUDES THE AID FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE. AND SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS SAID HE WANTS TO SEND ALL OF THOSE.

BILLS TOGETHER IN THE SENATE. SO IF CHUCK SCHUMER WANTED TO PUT THAT AID FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE UP FOR A VOTE, IN THEORY, IF IT DOES GET SENT THE WAY JOHNSON WANTS, HE'D ALSO HAVE TO PUT THAT TIKTOK LEGISLATION UP FOR A VOTE. AND IT COULD MEAN SOURCES.

AT TIK TOK TELL ME THAT A BAD OR AT LEAST POTENTIAL BAN ON THE APP COULD MOVE FASTER THAN EVEN SOME TIK SOURCES ANTICIPATED. AND SO IT IS SIGNIFICANT FOR THE FUTURE OF THE APP. IT VERY WELL COULD PASS IN THE SENATE IF THIS DOES HOLD.

TOGETHER THE WAY JOHNSON WANTS IT. IF IT DOES PASS IN THE SENATE, PRESIDENT HAS PREVIOUSLY INDICATED THAT A LOT'S CHANGED SINCE HE SAID THIS, BUT HAS PREVIOUSLY INDICATED HE WOULD SIGN LEGISLATION TO BAN TIKTOK IF IT ISN'T SOLD FROM ITS.

CHINESE PARENT COMPANY. SO CERTAINLY THIS IS SOMETHING TIKTOK IS ALREADY POSITIONING ITSELF TO FIGHT BECAUSE IT IS MOVING QUICKLY HERE. IT'S WRAPPED IN THESE FOREIGN AID BILLS. JAY O'BRIEN GETTING IN HIS STEPS AROUND CAPITOL HILL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FRIEND. >> MEANWHILE, MUCH OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY IS EXPECTED TO ENDORSE PRESIDENT BIDEN TODAY IN A PUBLIC SHOW OF SUPPORT. DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING IT WILL HELP CONVINCE VOTERS NOT TO SUPPORT ROBERT JUNIOR'S.

INDEPENDENT BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN FOR MORE. RICK, FIRST, HOW SIGNET IS THAT ENDORSEMENT COMING FROM RFK JUNIOR'S OWN FAMILY? >> YEAH, IN A NORMAL YEAR,.

I THINK A BUNCH OF KENNEDYS ENDORSING THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT WOULD NOT BE A STORY. BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR OWN. ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE AND JUST ABOUT ALL.

OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING MANY OF HIS SIBLINGS ,COUSINS AND VARIOUS VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE EXTENDED KENNEDY CLAN, SAY THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT HE'S DOING. SOME OF THEM ARE PRETTY HORRIFIED BY IT, ACTUALLY, AND THEY VIEW IT.

AS ANTITHETICAL TO THE KENNEDY . SO FOR THEM TO BE INVOKING THE KENNEDY NAME AGAINST ONE OF THEIR OWN, AGAINST SOMEONE WHO CARRIES ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS NAMES IN ALL OF POLITICS IS STRIKING. AND I THINK TELLS YOU A LITTLE.

BIT ABOUT THE THE STATE OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICS. WELL, AS THE FEAR RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR RFK JR TO PLAY SPOILER THIS FALL. >> WELL AND RICK, WHILE I HAVE YOU, I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS STORY THAT'S KIND OF BREWING OUT OF ARKANSAS.

WHERE GOVERNOR SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS IS. THE FORMER TRUMP PRESS SECRETARY IS UNDER FIRE FOR ALLEGEDLY $19,000 IN TAXPAYER FUNDS ON A LEFT TURN, STATE REPUBLICANS ULTIMATELY REPAID THE OF THAT LEFT TURN AFTER THE PURCHASE WAS MADE PUBLIC.

BUT GOVERNOR SANDERS WAS DEFIANT IN DISMISSING THESE FINDINGS, POSTING THIS VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA. NOW REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AS WELL. BUT I AM CURIOUS, BESIDES THE PRODUCE VIDEO IN AND JAY-Z.

TRACK THERE, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR AS THIS KIND OF PLAYS OUT? WELL, AN AUDIT IN THAT CASE FOUND EVIDENCE THEY BELIEVE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE WENT BACK AND DOCTORED SOME THE RECEIPTS THERE TO SUGGEST THAT THE PLAN WAS ALWAYS.

TO HAVE THIS REIMBURSED BY BY PRIVATE FUNDS ULTIMATELY WAS REIMBURSED. BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL. AND THE WHOLE THING WAS SHROUDED IN THIS AIR OF MYSTERY. IN FACT, WAS A LONG TIME BEFORE.

. YOU EVEN ALLOWED TO SEE THIS PODIUM. THE TAXPAYERS INITIALLY PAID FOR IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS REIMBURSED. A BIZARRE STORY, ALEX, AND IT COMES AS SARAH SANDERS IS POTENTIALLY BEING CONSIDERED.

AS DONALD TRUMP'S RUNNING MATE. SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. BUT WAY THAT SHE IS TREATED, THIS IS KIND OF CLASSIC TRUMP STYLE OF NOTHING NOTHING TO HIDE HERE THAT LET ME SHOW IT OFF AND GIVE YOU SOME SOME MUSIC TO WATCH.

TO ACCOMPANY THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PODIUM. >> WELL, LISTEN, WE'RE TALKING IT. BUT THANK YOU, SIR, FOR FOR BREAKING THIS DOWN FOR US. ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. >> AND TENSIONS ARE GROWING.

>> IT'S TIME NOW FOR OUR WEEKLY SEGMENT ASK ALEXIS. BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS SHARES FINANCIAL ADVICE ON TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. AND TODAY, SHE'S HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

AND ALSO SAVING MONEY ON SUMMER CAMP. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS, READY? I'M READY. OKAY. LET'S START. >> OKAY. LET'S LET'S START WITH TAMMY FROM TENNESSEE.

>> TAMMY WRITES, MY HUSBAND JUST STARTED RECEIVING HIS SOCIAL BENEFITS, BUT I'M HOLDING OFF ON GETTING MINE. HOW WILL HIS SECURITY CHECKS BE TAXED? >> THIS IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. TAMMY, APPRECIATE YOU ASKING.

SO, LOOK, MOST STATES DON'T TAX YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY, BUT AT LEAST SOME OF THE BENEFIT IS TAXED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. NOW, MUCH DEPENDS ON YOUR INCOME AND YOUR FILING STATUS, NOT YOUR AGE. >> SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME CAN BE TAXABLE NO MATTER HOW OLD.

YOU ARE. SO FIRST, YOU WANT TO FIGURE OUT YOUR COMBINED INCOME TO DO THAT, YOU WANT TO TAKE HALF THE SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY YOU COLLECT DURING THE YEAR AND ADD IT TO ANY PENSIONS, WAGES, INTEREST, DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS.

NOW, IF YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND FILE YOUR TAXES JOINTLY AS MOST AND YOUR COMBINED INCOME IS BETWEEN 32 AND $44,000 THAN 50% OF THE BENEFIT WILL BE TAXED. >> IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 44,000 AND COMBINED INCOME, THEN 85% OF YOUR HUSBAND'S SOCIAL.

SECURITY CHECK WILL BE TAXED. AND JUST A GOOD REMINDER, FOLKS, IN GENERAL, YOU CAN START RECEIVING YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT AT AGE 62, BUT AT A REDUCED AMOUNT. YOU'LL GET YOUR FULL BENEFIT ONCE YOU REACH YOUR FULL RETIREMENT AGE.

>> THAT DEPENDS ON THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN. AND IF YOU CAN HOLD OFF ON TAPPING INTO SOCIAL SECURITY UNTIL 70, YOUR BENEFIT AMOUNT WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE. ALEX ALL RIGHT. >> GOOD TIPS. OKAY.

NEXT ONE IS COMING FROM ANGELIQUE IN NEW YORK, AND SHE ADDS, WE WANT TO SEND OUR NINE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO DAY THIS SUMMER, BUT IT'S SO EXPENSIVE. DO YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOWER OUR CAMP BILL? >> YEAH, LOTS OF.

PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS GETTING STICKER SHOCK WHEN THEY PRICE OUT THEIR SUMMER CAMPS FOR THEIR KIDS AS INFLATION CONTINUES TO IMPACT JUST ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF LIVES. RIGHT. SO ONE WAY TO LOWER THE COST IS TO ASK ABOUT FINANCIAL,.

WHICH A LOT OF CAMPS OFFER TO QUALIFIED FAMILIES. ALSO SEE, THE CAMP HAS A PAYMENT PLAN SO THAT YOU CAN AT LEAST SPREAD OUT THE COST AND SEE IF YOUR CHILD OR YOUR FAMILY CAN QUALIFY FOR A MERIT OR NEED BASED SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH A CIVIC.

ORGANIZATION. MAYBE IT'S THE GIRL SCOUTS, LOCAL SERVICE CLUB OR A VETERAN'S POST. >> LOOK INTO THE CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE TAX CREDIT AS WELL. THAT COULD OFFSET UP TO $3,000 OF SUMMER CAMP COSTS PER CHILD.

. AND FOR FUTURE PLANNING, IF YOUR JOB OFFERS A FLEXIBLE SPENDING KNOWN AS AN FSA, PUT ASIDE SOME PRETAX DOLLARS THERE THAT CAN BE USED FOR THINGS LIKE DAY CAMPS AND ALSO SAVE YOUR TAX BILL IN THE PROCESS. IT'S A TWO FOR ONE THERE.

PRESIDENT TRUMP. RIGHT NOW, DOZENS OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS ARE FILLING OUT A SEVEN PAGE QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER MORE THAN HALF OF THE SECOND WAS EXCUSED. SO FAR, ONE JUROR WHO WAS ALREADY SEATED HAS BEEN FORMALLY EXCUSED AFTER SHE.

SAID SHE COULDN'T BE IMPARTIAL. EARLIER, OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN SPOKE WITH AN EXCUSE JUROR ABOUT HIS SAFETY CONCERNS. >> JUST HEARD FROM A JUROR INSIDE OF THE COURTROOM WHO WAS SEATED YESTERDAY, JUROR NUMBER TWO, AND SHE CALLED IN.

LAST NIGHT AND SAID SHE DID NOT FEEL SHE COULD SERVE ON THE JURY ANY LONGER BECAUSE SHE WAS FEARFUL HER IDENTITY BEING REVEALED. WOULD YOU HAVE HAD FEARS ABOUT YOUR IDENTITY, ABOUT YOUR SAFETY, HAD YOU SAT ON THIS JURY?.

ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. THAT I REALLY FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS SORT OF PARTICIPATING A MOB TRIAL AND THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO KNOW. YOU WOULD I MEAN, YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXTEND AN AMOUNT.

OF TRUST THAT. >> I WOULD BE WILLING TO. NOW, THAT JUROR THERE EXCUSED HIMSELF. HE RUNS A POLITICAL SATIRE WEBSITE. BUT ALL OF THIS IS COMING AS PROSECUTORS ARE ALSO URGING THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN.

CONTEMPT, ALLEGING MORE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS. THE JUDGE WAS HOPING FOR AN OPEN OR FROM OPENING STATEMENTS BEGIN AS EARLY AS MONDAY. SO LONG AS 12 JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES HAD BEEN SEATED BY THEN. TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY.

TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO CONCEAL A HUSH PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. I WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS JOINS ME NOW WITH MORE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS CHIEF WASHINGTON.

CORRESPONDENT JON KARL, ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI, AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR FOR NEW YORK SOUTHERN DISTRICT. COHEN NOWADAY KATHERINE, I KICK US OFF HERE FIRST. WHAT CAN YOU WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE JURY PROCESS.

AT THIS POINT? WELL, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE QUESTIONING OF THOSE REMAINING JURORS. THERE WERE ABOUT 39 REMAINING JURORS, AS YOU MENTIONED, ABOUT HALF OF JURY POOL FOR THE SECOND PANEL SAID THEY COULD BE FAIR, IMPARTIAL.

SO NOW THE JUDGE IS GOING THROUGH QUESTIONING WHO KNOWS HOW MANY WILL HAVE BY THE END OF THE DAY. OF COURSE, WE HAVE SEVEN JURORS NOW. WE HAVE JURORS AFTER A JUROR NUMBER TWO HAD SAID SHE SLEPT IT AND SAID SHE COULD BE FAIR.

AND IMPARTIAL. SO RIGHT NOW, JUST GOING THROUGH THAT JURY SELECTION PROCESS, SEEING WHO WILL ULTIMATELY BE ON THIS JURY IF WE GET ANY MORE JURORS TODAY. REMEMBER, BOTH SIDES STILL HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF STRIKES THEY CAN USE.

SO WE'LL LIKELY SEE THAT TODAY AS WELL. SO, AGAIN, JUST STILL DOING WHAT WE WERE DOING A COUPLE DAYS AND THIS WEEK GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS. WE'LL SEE HOW MANY WE HAVE BY THE END OF THE DAY. >> ALL RIGHT.

WELL, SO, JON KARL, GIVE US SOME BIG PICTURE CONTEXT HERE. THIS IS THE FIRST EVER CRIMINAL TRIAL FOR A FORMER PRESIDENT. PUT IN PERSPECTIVE, HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THIS JURY SELECTION PROCESS HAVING A DIFFICULTY TODAY, SEATING FOLKS?.

AND THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE TRUMP DEFENSE HAS HAS HAS BEEN YELLING FROM FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP FROM FROM THE BEGINNING. >> LOOK, ALEX, THINK THIS THAT THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A TRIAL OF A FORMER PRESIDENT, OF A CURRENT LEADING, YOU KNOW, MAJOR PARTY PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. BUT THE REAL THING FOR ME, AS WE GO THROUGH JURY SELECTION IS CAN SYSTEM OF JUSTICE DELIVER JUSTICE IN SUCH A HIGH.

PROFILE, CONSEQUENTIAL CASE THAT GOES RIGHT AT THE HEART OF OUR DEEPLY DIVIDED COUNTRY. I HOPE THOSE COMMENTS FROM THAT PROSPECTIVE JUROR THAT YOU JUST HEARD THERE WITH OLIVIA TALKING ABOUT THE CONCERNS OF SAFETY, THAT'S A REAL CONCERN.

I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN THREATS AGAINST COURT PERSONNEL, AGAINST JUDGES, AGAINST PROSECUTORS, WE'VE SEEN THREATS AGAINST WITNESSES AND MEAN AT THE END OF THIS PROCESS, THERE ARE GOING TO BE 18 CIVILIANS EVERY DAY. NEW YORKERS, ALL DIFFERENT.

WALKS OF LIFE WHO ARE GOING TO BE WITH A MASSIVELY IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY AND THIS IS NOT ONE THAT THEY CAN I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE THOSE PEOPLE'S LIVES . AND MAY WELL, I MEAN, I MEAN, WE'LL SEE HOW THE PROCESS.

UNFOLDS. BUT THE PRESSURE ON THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE MASSIVE. AND THE QUESTION IS, IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THIS AND A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN BEING THE LARGER CONTEXT, CAN A CAN THE COURT OPERATE IN A WAY THAT IT WOULD IN ANY OTHER.

TRIAL? >> THIS IS DEFINING IN MANY, MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. JOHN SANTUCCI, I WANT TO KEEP THIS OVER TO YOU. YEAH. SO LISTEN, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD IS HOW THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS BEEN.

ACTIVELY LISTENING TO THE QUESTIONS THAT THESE PROSPECTIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN RESPOND IN TO. YOU'VE HEARD INSTANCES, ANECDOTES OF HIM CRANING HIS NECK OR OR WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF HIS PRESENCE THERE?.

AND HAS HIS IS HIS ROLE ACTIVELY LISTENING, YOU KNOW, AS THESE PROCEEDINGS ARE TAKING? I MEAN, HIS PRESENCE THERE, IS IT NOT REALLY UP HIM ANYMORE? HE HAS TO BE THERE. THIS IS A CRIMINAL PROCEEDING,.

RIGHT. THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT. WHAT DONALD TRUMP WAS DOING LAST YEAR WITH THE CIVIL CASES WHERE HE BOP IN OUT WHEN HE FELT LIKE IT AS JUDGES, AS THE JUDGE SAID JUST RECENTLY, ALEX, YOU KNOW, WHEN TRUMP HAD ASKED TO GO TO THE.

SUPREME COURT NEXT WEEK OR EVEN BARRON'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, IT'S NOT UP TO DONALD TRUMP ANYMORE. HE PHYSICALLY HAS TO BE THERE. YOU KNOW, I DO THINK THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND JON KARL AND I HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION MANY.

TIMES OVER THE YEARS, JOHN, ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP IS ALWAYS CURIOUS WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT HIM IS ALWAYS, YOU KNOW INTRIGUED BY THAT ASPECT. SO, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE A SITUATION, JURORS HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT HIM.

ARE YOU AWARE HIM? YOU HAVE AN OPINION OF HIM THAT'S GOING TO SPIKE DONALD TRUMP'S CURIOSITY? I MEAN, THAT'S JUST WHO THE GUY IS AT HIS CORE. WELL, THE OTHER THING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THESE SETBACKS.

YEAH, BUT BIG PICTURE, THIS IS PART THIS IS PART OF THE PROCESS 100%. >> AND I THINK THAT ANYBODY THAT IS SUDDENLY SAYING, WOW, IS GOING THIS WAY OR THAT WAY OR IT'S HARD. I MEAN THE JURY. THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO GET.

ONE NOW. THEY ARE GOING TO GET ONE. THIS IS ALL THE WAY THIS GOES. THERE IS NOTHING HERE THAT HAS BEEN HORRIBLY SURPRISING. I WILL SAY JUST MY TAKEAWAY THIS THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, POST NOW CONVERSATION EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT VIOLATIONS.

OF THE GAG ORDER, THE FACT THEY DID ONCE TWICE, BUT ALLEGEDLY SEVEN MORE TIMES. NOW I GOT TO ADMIT THAT I'M A LITTLE BY I GET, YOU KNOW, TOUCHING FIRE ONCE OR TWICE. BUT NOW WE'RE UP TO POTENTIALLY VIOLATIONS. >> THAT GAG ORDER THAT DID.

SURPRISE ME. WELL AND I WANT TO BRING YOU IN ON THIS AT THIS POINT DOES THIS ONE DAY START DATE FOR OPENING STATEMENTS IS DOES SEEM AMBITIOUS. >> I THINK NOW IT'S GETTING A LITTLE AMBITIOUS, BUT I STILL THINK THAT ULTIMATELY.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET TWO OPENING STATEMENTS NEXT WEEK. AND THE REASON I THINK THAT IS WHY AND THEY'VE ALREADY SAT FIVE AND LOST TO TWO ALSO THE PARTIES ARE RUNNING OUT OF PREEMPTORY. EACH PARTY STARTS THE PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE,.

THEY START WITH TEN PREEMPTIVE STRIKES FOR REGULAR JURORS AND FOR ALTERNATES. >> I BELIEVE IT'S LAST BEEN REPORTED THAT, THREE EACH DOWN TO FOUR. >> ONCE YOU LOSE THOSE STRIKES THAT YOU CAN JUST MAKE FOR ANY REASON, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

PROVIDE A REASON. YOU JUST STRIKE THOSE PEOPLE, THEN IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEN YOU'RE JUST LEFT WITH FOUR CAUSE REMOVALS AND. I THINK THINGS ARE GOING TO ACCELERATE ONCE THE PROSECUTION AND THE DEFENSE.

THEIR PREEMPTORY STRIKES. >> JOHN SANTUCCI, JONATHAN KARL, KATHERINE FAULDERS AND CON FERRY NOWADAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE ON ABC LIVE.

OUR HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE RELEASED THE TEXT OF FOUR BILLS IN A PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES FOREIGN AID FOR UKRAINE AND TAIWAN. I WANT TO BRING IN ABC'S JAY O'BRIEN JOINS ME NOW CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE ON THIS. FIRST JAY CAN YOU CAN YOU BREAK.

THESE BILLS DOWN FOR US? WELL FIRST IT'S FOUR SEPARATE BILLS. REMEMBER, ALEX IT'S AID FOR ISRAEL, UKRAINE, TAIWAN AND THEN A FOURTH BILL. THAT'S A GRAB BAG OF GOP POLICY PRIORITIES. AND THE QUESTION FACING SPEAKER.

MIKE JOHNSON SETTING ASIDE FOR A SECOND HIS FUTURE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AFTER INTRODUCING THIS LEGISLATION IS CAN HE EVEN GET THIS STUFF OUT OF THE HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE ONTO THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE AND THEN HE CAN CAN HE CLEAR THE PROCEDURAL VOTE,.

WHICH IS CALLED A VOTE ON A RULE TO TEE UP AN ACTUAL VOTE ON THIS. IT'S ALL VERY COMPLEX, BUT THE REALITY IS JOHNSON DOESN'T HAVE THE SUPPORT AMONGST REPUBLICANS TO GET THIS STUFF UP FOR A VOTE THE WAY HE WOULD TYPICALLY WITH LESS.

CONTROVERSIAL LEGISLATION. HE'S ALMOST CERTAINLY GOING TO HAVE TO RELY ON DEMOCRATS TO PULL ALL THIS OFF. THAT'S WHY WE'RE STANDING HERE. DEMOCRATS ARE MEETING DOWN THIS HALLWAY AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WILL THEY BAILOUT JOHNSON?.

WILL THEY HELP HIM GIVE HIM THE NECESSARY VOTES TO EVEN GET THIS THROUGH THE PROCEDURAL IT NEEDS TO GET TO AND ON THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE? SO I ASKED ONE DEMOCRAT WHO HAS A LOT OF SWAY IN THIS CAUCUS, FORMER SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI. SHOULD DEMOCRATS GIVE JOHNSON.

THE VOTES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? >> HERE'S WHAT SHE TOLD THEM. I THINK YOU REPUBLICANS SHOULD VOTE FOR THE RULE BECAUSE THE SPEAKER HAS THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY, YES OR NO, ON DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IN THE BILL. WHY WON'T THE REPUBLICANS TAKE.

YES FOR AN ANSWER FROM THEIR SPEAKER? IF SPEAKER JOHNSON GETS VACATED? YOU THINK DEMOCRATS SHOULD SAY IF IT WERE BOTH, THAT WOULD BE UP TO JEFFRIES. SO NOT AN ANSWER ON WHETHER DEMOCRATS SHOULD SAVE.

JOHNSON IF HE DOES GET VACATED BY THOSE HARDLINERS WHO SAY THEY DO NOT LIKE THESE BILLS THAT HE HAS PUT FORWARD. BUT SPEAKER PELOSI ALSO SAYING THERE THAT SHE BELIEVES SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS RULE. IT SHOULD BE ON THEM. THAT'S LIKELY NOT GOING.

TO HAPPEN HERE, ALEX. AND SO THE QUESTION STILL HANGING OVER DEMOCRATS IS WILL THEY, THE SPEAKER, TEE UP THESE BILLS FOR A VOTE? WELL, AND JAY, IF THEY DO, YOU MENTIONED HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON IS FACING A THREAT FROM HIS OWN PARTY TO OUST HIM.

FROM THE ROLE BY COLLABORATING WITH DEMOCRATS. HE'S FOCUSING ON ON DOING HIS JOB AND PASSING THESE FOREIGN AID AID PACKAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES. BUT HOW HOW IS THAT KIND HOW IS THAT KIND OF PLAYING OUT WITHIN.

WITHIN HIS OWN CAUCUS? >> LOOK, WE'RE SEEING HARD LINERS SAY THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS DECISION MADE BY JOHNSON. AT LEAST TWO HAVE COME OUT AND SAID THEY BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO GO. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS ONE.

OF THEM. SHE HAS MADE IT NO SECRET THAT SHE IS NO FAN. THE SPEAKER THESE DAYS, THOMAS MASSIE IS ANOTHER. AND THEN WE'VE HEARD FROM HARD LINERS WHO SAY, LOOK, THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PACKAGE.

THEY'RE KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON JOHNSON. >> SOME HAVE EVEN GONE AS FAR AS TO SAY THEY'VE LOST TRUST. THE SPEAKER AND SO IF THESE BILLS DO GO TO THE FLOOR THE QUESTION HANGING OVER THESE HARD LINE REPUBLICANS IS WILL THEY MAKE GOOD ON THEIR THREATS.

TO JOHNSON'S JOB. AND IF THAT HAPPENS. WILL JOHNSON NEED TO TURN TO DEMOCRATIC VOTES TO OFFSET THOSE HARD LINE REPUBLICAN NO VOTES THAT MIGHT EVENTUALLY GO FOR HIS JOB. NOW WE THAT THAT'S NOT AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM FACING.

JOHNSON. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE HAS SAID SHE'S GOING TO MOVE TO OUST JOHNSON, EVEN IF SHE DOES, UNTIL THESE FOREIGN AID GO TO THE FLOOR. BUT CERTAINLY THERE WAS THIS CLOUD HANGING OVER JOHNSON'S SPEAKERSHIP AND HE HAS.

SAID HE'S WILLING TO PUT IT ON THE LINE TO GET AID, PARTICULARLY AID FOR UKRAINE, WHICH IS CONTROVERSIAL AMONG SOME ON THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE. >> ALL RIGHT, JAY O'BRIEN JIM, THANKS FOR TRACKING THIS FOR US FROM CAPITOL HILL. >> THE ABORTION RIGHTS.

IN ARIZONA IS GROWING. FOR THE SECOND TIME, REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE, A DEMOCRATIC EFFORT TO REPEAL THE CIVIL WAR ERA LAW, ESSENTIALLY BANS ABORTION ACCESS THERE. THIS COMES AFTER THE BAN WAS LAST WEEK BY ARIZONA'S SUPREME.

COURT. ABC'S ELIZABETH SCHULZE HAS THE LATEST FROM PHOENIX, ARIZONA. LAWMAKERS DEFIANT, REFUSING TO REPEAL A 160 YEAR OLD LAW BANNING NEARLY ALL IN THE STATE LEGISLATURES ARE NOT BUILT FOR KNEE REACTIONS.

>> ALL BUT ONE REPUBLICAN IN THE STATE HOUSE TO JOIN DEMOCRATS TO FAST TRACK LEGISLATION WOULD ROLL BACK THE LAW. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE. STATE SENATORS ARE NOW TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR OWN.

BILL TO REPEAL IT, BUT THAT PROCESS COULD TAKE WEEKS. >> THIS IS STAIN ON OUR HISTORY THAT THIS BAN EVEN EXISTS FROM A TIME WHEN THE AGE OF CONSENT WAS TEN. FROM A TIME WHEN WOMEN DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. >> THE LAW PROHIBITS ABORTION.

IN EVERY INSTANCE EXCEPT ONE TO SAVE THE LIFE OF ANOTHER. IF NO REPEAL IS, THE BAN COULD TAKE EFFECT AS SOON AS JUNE. >> EFFECTIVELY, OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE ABORTION CARE GOES AWAY. SO IF THIS LAW STANDS, YOU CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE ABORTIONS.

HERE. THAT IS CORRECT. HEAD CLINIC IN PHOENIX. >> DR. DESHAWN TAYLOR IS TELLING PATIENTS THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE CARE THEY NEED. >> WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM, LETTING THEM KNOW.

THAT WE'RE GOING WEEK BY WEEK BECAUSE THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN WE'LL HAVE TO STOP. OUR THANKS TO ELIZABETH SCHULZE FOR THAT ATTENTION. THEY ARE GROWING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AFTER IRAN'S UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK AGAINST ISRAEL. NOW, THREE ISRAELI SOURCES.

TELLING ABC NEWS ISRAEL PREPARED FOR AND THEN ABORTED RETALIATORY AIRSTRIKES AGAINST IRAN ON AT LEAST TWO NIGHTS THIS PAST WEEK. THOUGH A SENIOR U.S. SOURCE SAYS IT'S UNLIKELY ISRAEL WOULD CARRY OUT A STRIKE BEFORE THE END OF PASSOVER ON APRIL.

30TH. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE HAS THE LATEST FROM TEL AVIV. >> HEY, ALEXIA. OFFICIALS ARE NOW BRIEFING THAT WE'RE NOT EXPECTING AN ISRAELI RESPONSE TO SUNDAY'S IRANIAN ATTACK BEFORE THE END.

OF PASSOVER, WHICH WOULD BE THE END OF THIS MONTH, ALTHOUGH THOSE OFFICIALS SUGGESTING THAT COULD, OF COURSE, CHANGE. ANONYMOUS U.S. AND ISRAELI SOURCES ARE ALSO SUGGESTING THAT ISRAEL HAS CALLED OFF AIR STRIKES ON IRAN ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS THIS WEEK.

MEANWHILE, ISRAELI MILITARY OPERATIONS CONTINUE IN GAZA. THE DEATH TOLL THERE NOW MORE THAN 33,000, ACCORDING TO THE HAMAS HEALTH MINISTRY, PART OF THAT KEY MEDIATOR IN THE CEASE FIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS, SAYING THOSE TALKS ARE STUMBLING.

AND WHILE WE WAIT FOR A POTENTIAL ISRAELI RESPONSE TO THE IRANIAN ATTACK, WE'VE SEEN THE PAST 48 HOURS ANOTHER ESCALATION ON ISRAEL'S NORTHERN BORDER WITH LEBANON. A DRONE ATTACK FROM THE IRANIAN BACKED HEZBOLLAH, INJURING SEVERAL ISRAELI SOLDIERS.

THE IDF SAYING IT STRUCK BACK AGAINST ASSETS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON. AND IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNTS AID GETTING INTO NORTHERN GAZA, WHERE AID AGENCIES HAVE BEEN WARNING OF A POTENTIAL. ISRAEL SAYING THE FIRST SHIPMENTS OF YOU AND AID.

HAVE BEEN PROCESSED OUT OF THE PORT OF ASHDOD, JUST NORTH OF GAZA. AND THAT'S SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE FREEING UP THE HUMANITARIAN AID, WHICH WAS STUCK IN THE PORTS OF ASHKELON, WAS A DEMAND FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, IN THE.

WAKE OF THAT DEADLY ISRAELI STRIKE IN GAZA, WHICH KILLED SEVEN AID WORKERS FROM AMERICAN NGO WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN. BUT AID AGENCIES ARE STILL WARNING THAT MUCH MORE AID NEEDS GET INTO NORTHERN GAZA AND CRUCIALLY, BE DISTRIBUTED.

TO THOSE MOST NEED TO COUNTER THE ACUTE LEVELS OF MALNUTRITION THAT ALEX. >> FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN ISRAEL. >> COMING UP, MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR A NEW ROUND OF STORMS AFTER AT LEAST.

27 REPORTED TORNADOES IN SEVEN STATES IN JUST THREE DAYS. WE HAVE THE TRACK AND TIMING OF THE SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS. BUT FIRST, RED LOBSTER IS REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING BANKRUPTCY, A PROMOTION THAT COULD CATCH THE BLAME THAT WAS OTHER HEADLINES.

RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK. >> THIS IS NOT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES PLAYED VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO NEGLECTED THEIR SON, IGNORED CRIES FOR HELP, THEN BLOCKED HIM AGAIN.

THOSE IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING AND PURCHASED THAT GUN AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT. YOU DON'T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT'S A COMMON SENSE OF THE PARENTS CRUMBLEY TRIALS. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT.

HATE. IT'S JUST BEING IGNORED, ONLY UNHUMAN. >> DONALD CRIMINAL TRIAL MOVES CLOSER TO SEALING A JURY LOSS. WILL THE BATTLE OVER UKRAINE AID PUT THE HOUSE SPEAKER JOB IN JEOPARDY AGAIN? MORE AMERICANS TURN TO WORLD.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. STREAMING 24/7 STRAIGHT TO YOU FOR FREE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ABC NEWS LIVE AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. REPORTING FROM PARK, CALIFORNIA, I'M ROBIN ROBERTS. WHEREVER, WHEREVER THE STORY.

IS, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. YOU'RE STREAMING. ABC NEWS LIVE. >> I'M ALEX PRESHA TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE FIRST. AND JURY SELECTION IS FACING SETBACKS IN THE HISTORIC HUSH MONEY TRIAL OF FORMER.

PRESIDENT TRUMP. RIGHT NOW, DOZENS OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS ARE FILLING OUT A SEVEN PAGE QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER MORE THAN HALF OF THE SECOND POOL WAS EXCUSED. SO FAR, ONE JUROR WHO WAS ALREADY SEATED HAS BEEN.

FORMALLY EXCUSED AFTER SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T BE IMPARTIAL. AND EARLIER, OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, OLIVIA RUBIN, WITH AN EXCUSE JUROR ABOUT HIS SAFETY CONCERNS. >> WE JUST HEARD FROM A JUROR INSIDE OF THE COURTROOM WHO WAS SEATED YESTERDAY, JUROR.

NUMBER TWO, AND SHE CALLED HIM NIGHT AND SAID SHE DID NOT FEEL SHE COULD SERVE ON THE JURY ANY BECAUSE SHE WAS FEARFUL HER IDENTITY BE REVEALED. WOULD YOU HAVE HAD FEARS ABOUT YOUR IDENTITY, ABOUT YOUR SAFETY, HAVING SAT ON JURY? ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY. I REALLY FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS SORT OF PARTICIPATE IN A MOB TRIAL AND THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO KNOW YOU WOULD. I MEAN, YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXTEND THAT OF TRUST THAT I WOULD BE WILLING TO.

NOW, THIS COMES AS PROSECUTORS ARE URGING THE JUDGE TO TRUMP IN CONTEMPT, ALLEGING MORE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS. THE JUDGE HOPING FOR OPENING STATEMENTS TO BEGIN MONDAY, SO LONG AS JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES HAVE BEEN SEATED BY THEN.

TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS JOINS ME NOW, ALONG WITH ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL.

PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR FOR NEW YORK SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT NOWADAY. >> KATHERINE, I WANT TO GET YOU TO KICK THINGS OFF FOR US. SO LOOK, IT SEEMS LIKE MORE OF THE SAME TODAY WITH HIS STRUGGLE IN KIND OF SEATING.

A JURY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS PART OF THE PROCESS OF PLAYS OUT. BUT WHAT STANDS OUT TO YOU RIGHT NOW ABOUT TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS? >> IT IS MORE OF THE SAME IN TERMS OF THE NEXT PANEL HAS ALREADY BEEN SWORN IN AND.

IS BEING QUESTIONED. BUT IT DID START A BIT ROCKY. ALEX, WE KNOW THAT ONE JUROR THAT WAS ALREADY SEATED THERE, SEVEN JURORS WHO WERE SEATED ON THIS JURY, THERE WAS ONE JUROR WHO SAID IT CAME BACK TO COURT TODAY AND SAID THAT SHE SHE COULDN'T BE FAIR.

AND IMPARTIAL. SO THEN THEY WERE DOWN TO SIX. BUT THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER JUROR ISSUES HAS TO DO WITH JUROR NUMBER FOUR, THE ONE THAT CALLED TRUMP FASCINATING. FOR EXAMPLE, HE DID NOT DISCLOSE, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS, PREVIOUS.

ENCOUNTERS WITH THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, THIS STEMMED FROM ALLEGEDLY RIPPING DOWN POLITICAL POSTERS THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE POLITICAL RIGHT BACK IN THE 1990. HE DID NOT DISCLOSE ANY ENCOUNTERS WITH, THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM OVER THAT.

SO THEY WANTED TO BRING IT BACK AND QUESTION HIM. AND NOW WE'RE LEARNING FROM INSIDE THE COURT THAT HE HAS BEEN QUESTIONED. HE WASN'T QUESTIONED PUBLICLY. YOU COULD SEE THIS HAPPENING IN THE HE WAS QUESTIONED IN WHAT'S CALLED A, QUOTE.

UNQUOTE, SIDEBAR. THAT MEANS THAT PROSECUTORS, DEFENSE ATTORNEYS, THE JUDGE, THEY ARE THEY ALL TALK TO HIM OUT OF EARSHOT. SO HIS FUTURE IS STILL UNDECIDED. I'M SURE THEY ARE CONFERRING ON THAT.

SO THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF DRAMA THIS MORNING AS THIS GOES. OF COURSE, THIS PROBABLY WILL POTENTIALLY DELAY THE PROCESS A BIT. WE'LL SEE WHERE WE ARE AT THE END OF THE DAY. AND IF WE HAVE MORE JURORS.

SEATED ON THIS JURY. >> WELL, AND JOHN SANTUCCI, I WANT TO BRING YOU IN ON THIS. IT APPEARS THAT THINGS HAVE KIND OF SLOWED TODAY. >> WHAT DO WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? WELL, I THINK WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, SO MUCH.

OF THIS IS GOING TO BE A STOP AND GO PROCESS. RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT THE BEST COMPARISON WE HAVE IS THAT THURSDAY IS LOOKING A LOT LIKE MONDAY WHEN I MEAN BY THAT IS THINK ABOUT HOW LONG MONDAY WENT THROUGH SO MANY MOTIONS.

TO ACTUALLY GET TO JURY SELECTION. WE SPENT A LOT OF TODAY SO KIND OF GOING THROUGH THE WORK THAT WAS ALREADY DONE CHECKING IT OUT. RIGHT. BECAUSE YOU GET THE ONE JUROR SAID, I CAN'T DO IT.

ANOTHER THAT DIDN'T WASN'T FORTHRIGHT IN SOME PREVIOUS ARRESTS. THEY HAD IN THE 1990S. SO THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. AND I DO THAT. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF FORESHADOWING AS TO WHERE THE REST OF OUR WEEK COULD.

BE GOING. I THINK, YOU KNOW, JOHN SAID IT PERFECTLY EARLIER THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS DOES APPEAR TO MAYBE SLOW THINGS DOWN A LITTLE BIT. AND I JUST THINK THAT WORD PROCESS IS REALLY IMPORTANT HERE, RIGHT.

IT'S STOP AND GO. THERE'S GOING TO BE MOMENTS WHERE I'M SURE LATER TODAY, WE'RE HOPEFULLY GOING TO SEE A COUPLE MORE JURORS SEATED. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE FULL 12. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET THE ADDITIONAL SIX TODAY.

SO REALLY, NOW WE JUST HAVE TO SORT OF HAVE THAT PATIENCE TO SEE WHERE IT GOES. I ALSO THINK THAT SEPARATE APART FROM THAT, THE GAG ORDER PART OF THIS, THAT THAT'S STILL PART OF THE CONVERSATION. AND REALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT OF A TEST ON DONALD.

TRUMP. RIGHT. BECAUSE THERE'S A SEPARATE HEARING ON THAT NEXT WEEK, NEXT TUESDAY, WHERE THE JUDGE IS GOING TO DECIDE IF AND HOW HE WOULD IMPOSE ANY CONSEQUENCES ON TRUMP IF HE BELIEVES THAT HE DID INDEED.

VIOLATE THE GAG ORDER. >> BUT THAT IS PART OF A PROCESS THAT WOULD ALSO SLOW THINGS DOWN. >> AND CERTAINLY LOT OF TIME BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. AND HE IS RUNNING FOR REELECTION. CERTAINLY THESE CAMPAIGN POSTS.

HAVE BEEN A PART OF A BIG PART OF THAT. WHILE, YOU KNOW, HE CAN'T REALLY, YOU KNOW, AND SLIGHTLY PROBLEMATIC BASED ON THAT. >> RIGHT. I MEAN, AS YOU JUST NOTED, RIGHT. THESE WERE POSTED HE MADE POST.

THE CONVERSATION AT THE START OF THE WEEK. SO TO THINK THAT THAT WAS SEVEN DAYS IN SEVEN POST, RATHER IN THREE DAYS, GOT A COUPLE OF DAYS WEEK AND A FEW THINGS IN BETWEEN. WHO KNOWS? SURE.

WELL, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER, BUT CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, JUDGE MERCHAN, ONCE OPENING STATEMENTS, WAS OPTIMISTIC THAT OPENING STATEMENTS COULD BEGIN ON MONDAY. AT THIS, IT IT FEELS AS THOUGH THAT THAT THAT MAY BE A LITTLE.

A LITTLE TOO OPTIMISTIC OR AMBITIOUS. YES, I AGREE WITH THAT. I THINK RIGHT NOW WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT OPENING STATEMENTS LATER IN THE WEEK. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT JOHN SAID. IT'S STOP AND GO PROCESS.

IT'S A THREE STEPS FORWARD, MAYBE ONE STEP BACK PROCESS. BUT ULTIMATELY, I'M CONFIDENT. I THINK EVERYONE'S CONFIDENT THERE WILL BE A JURY IMPANELED IN THIS CASE, THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN NEW YORK, THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY HAS DEALT WITH HIGH.

PROFILE CASES BEFORE, HIGH PUBLICITY CASES, AND CLEARLY NOT AS HIGH PROFILE AND CONSEQUENTIAL AS THIS CASE. >> BUT IN ALL THOSE CASES JURORS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO SERVE IN THOSE TRIALS. >> I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING, THOUGH, IS, YOU KNOW, THERE.

HAVE BEEN CASES WHERE JURORS HAVE BEEN FEARFUL FOR THEIR SAFETY, LIKE THE EL CHAPO CASE, LIKE THE TIMOTHY MCVEIGH CASE, TERRORISM CASES. MARC CASE IS RIGHT. AND WHAT'S INTERESTING IS IN THIS CASE, GIVEN WHAT'S GOING ON CONTEXTUALLY AROUND THIS.

PRESIDENT, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THIS DEFENDANT, THAT JURORS DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF THAT PROCESS, ARE FEARFUL FOR THEIR SAFETY BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY SERVING ON THIS JURY. >> ALL RIGHT.

AND KATHERINE, THE OTHER THING THAT'S KIND OF PLAYING OUT RIGHT NOW, AND JOHN ED REFERENCED THIS, BUT PROSECUTORS ALLEGING THAT TRUMP HAS VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER AGAIN, THEY'RE BRINGING UP THAT THERE ARE MORE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS AGAINST.

>> WHAT CAN YOU SHARE ABOUT ABOUT THAT? YEAH, LOOK, I JOHN HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH REFERRING TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA. AND I THINK THAT HE MAY AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS WON'T THE LAST THAT WE HEAR ABOUT THIS.

PROSECUTORS ARE SAYING ALLEGING THAT TRUMP VIOLATED THIS GAG ORDER. AT LEAST SEVEN ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE THEY FIRST BROUGHT THIS UP EARLIER THIS WEEK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM AND HIS TOP ADVISERS HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT,.

ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO THAT CAMERA, THE HALLWAY THERE. THEY DON'T WANT HIM TO VIOLATE THIS GAG ORDER ANY FURTHER, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO JURORS OR PROSPECTIVE JURORS . THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISING HIM.

TO AVOID IT AS MUCH AS HE CAN EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THAT HE LIKES TO MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENTS. SO CERTAINLY THIS IS A NARRATIVE YOU WON'T JUST HEAR NOW IN THE FIRST WEEK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL LIKELY BE A THING AND CONTINUE.

FOR THESE 6 TO 8 WEEKS AS THIS TRIAL GOES ON. ALL RIGHT. KATHERINE FAULDERS JOHN SANTUCCI AND CON NOWADAY. THANK YOU. AND BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE RELEASED THE TEXT OF FOUR BILLS IN A PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES FOREIGN AID FOR UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND TAIWAN. THE PUSH TO PASS THAT $95 BILLION PACKAGE COMES AS HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON IS FACING THREAT FROM WITHIN HIS OWN.

PARTY TO OUST HIM FROM HIS ROLE . ABC'S JAY O'BRIEN JOINS ME NOW FROM CAPITOL HILL LIVE WITH MORE JAY. OKAY LET'S TAKE A READ ON TEMPERATURE HERE IN THE HOUSE. FIRST HOW LIKELY IS IT.

THAT THERE'S EVEN ENOUGH SUPPORT TO GET THESE BILLS THROUGH? AND IS IT ALL COMING FROM REPUBLICANS? IT'S NOT ALL GOING TO COME FROM REPUBLICANS, MIKE JOHNSON WANTS THESE FOUR BILLS TO PASS. HE'S GOING TO NEED DEMOCRATS.

AND TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS LIKE. THE TEMPERATURE IS HIGH, PARTICULARLY AMONGST HOUSE REPUBLICANS. THEY JUST FINISHED UP VOTING ON THE HOUSE FLOOR AND THEY HAD A MEETING INSIDE RIGHT OFF THERE ON THE FLOOR.

AND THEN A NUMBER OF MEMBERS, ME, CAME DOWN HERE TO TELL US EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEETING WAS LIKE AND THAT GATES AND ANNA, PAULINA LUNA AND LAUREN BOEBERT, THAT THAT MEETING WAS TENSE. ONE MEMBER DESCRIBED IT AS AN OF GRIEVANCES AND THEY.

SAID THERE WERE GRIEVANCES ABOUT THOSE FOREIGN AID BILLS THAT JOHNSON WANTED, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL MOVES THAT SOME OF THE RIGHT MEMBERS THOUGHT JOHNSON MIGHT BE MAKING TO NULLIFY WHAT'S CALLED THE MOTION TO VACATE AND MAKE IT EASIER OR HARDER, RATHER,.

TO OUST HIM FROM HIS JOB. HERE'S MATT GAETZ. WHEN HE WAS ASKED, DOES HE AGREE WHICH HE DOESN'T. WITH JOHNSON'S POSITION ON AID FOR UKRAINE BEING NECESSARY RIGHT NOW. HE SAID PUTTING THE BILL ON THE FLOOR FOR AID TO UKRAINE.

IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I THINK THE RIGHT THING DO WOULD BE INSIST ON SECURING AMERICA'S BORDER. THAT WAS ON RACHEL SCOTT ASKING THAT QUESTION AGAIN. GATES PART OF THAT MEETING WHICH HE DESCRIBES AS TENSE.

ALEX AND THE QUESTION FACING MIKE JOHNSON IS, IS HE WILLING TO GAMBLE WITH FUTURE AS SPEAKER TO GET THIS AID OVER THE GOAL LINE? HE WAS ASKED THAT QUESTION AND HE SAID THE ANSWER IS YES. >> WELL, AND JOE, I WANT YOU TO WEIGH IN HERE.

ONE OF THE MAJOR FOCUSES, ONE OF THESE BILLS IS A PROPOSAL BAN TIKTOK AND ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY DOESN'T SELL IT A YEAR. DID IT SURPRISE YOU? HOW DID THAT WORK ITS WAY IN? >> SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT JOHNSON HAD SAID HE WANTED.

TO PUT IN FOR A WHILE. THERE WAS A FOURTH BILL. SO THERE ARE THREE BILLS. ONE IS AID FOR ISRAEL, ONE IS AID FOR UKRAINE, ONE IS AID FOR TAIWAN. AND THE FOURTH IS ABOUT A GRAB BAG OF GOP POLICY PRIORITIES. IT'S MEANT TO MAKE ALL OF THOSE.

OTHER BILLS BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE PACKAGED TOGETHER MORE APPEALING TO REPUBLICANS. AND SO THAT'S WHY THE TICK TOCK GOT PUT IN IT, ALMOST VERY SIMILAR TO LEGISLATION CONGRESS ALREADY PASSED WITH THE HOUSE ALREADY PASSED IN MARCH.

THAT WILL TRY TO FORCE TIKTOK'S PARENT COMPANY IN CHINA TO SELL THE APP. OR IT COULD BE. THAT LEGISLATION PASSED THE HOUSE WITH A STRONG BIPARTISAN MAJORITY. THEN IT STALLED OUT IN THE SENATE.

AND NOW THAT IT'S PART OF THIS PACKAGE OF FOREIGN BILLS, IF IT GETS SENT OVER AS ALL ONE PACKAGE OVER TO THE SENATE, WHICH IS WHAT MIKE JOHNSON HAS SAID HE WANTS TO DO, IT WOULD PUSH SCHUMER TO TAKE UP THAT TIKTOK BILL IF HE WANTED TO TAKE UP THAT AID FOR.

ISRAEL AND UKRAINE. SO IT GIVES IT VERY REAL CHANCE OF PASSING IN THE SENATE, ALEX, AND HEADING OVER TO THE PRESIDENT'S DESK. >> ALL RIGHT, JAY O'BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL, THANK YOU, SIR. AND PROTESTERS ARE GATHERING.

MULTIPLE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW OVER THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. AND ONE OF THE BIGGER DEMONSTRATIONS IS AT UNIVERSITY, WHERE AT LEAST FOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED PRO PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS.

SWARMED THE IVY LEAGUE CAMPUS EARLIER. THE DEMONSTRATORS ARE DEMANDING THE UNIVERSITY'S BOARD CUT ALL FUNDING TIES WITH WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS THAT HAVE BEEN SUPPLYING ISRAEL. THIS COMES AFTER DOZENS OF PRO-ISRAELI STUDENTS.

AND FACULTY GATHERED TO SUPPORT ISRAEL IN YESTERDAY'S TESTIMONY FROM THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SHAFIQ, BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE OVER SCHOOL'S EDUCATOR. >> THE SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTISEMITISM. >> TRYING TO RECONCILE THE FREE.

SPEECH RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO WANTED TO PROTEST AND THE RIGHTS OF JEWISH TO BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT FREE OF DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT HAS BEEN A CENTRAL CHALLENGE ON OUR CAMPUS AND NUMEROUS OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

REGRETTABLY, THE EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH BROUGHT TO THE FORE AN UNDERCURRENT OF ANTI-SEMITISM IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. NOW FOR MORE I WANT TO BRING IN ABC'S MORGAN NORWOOD WHO IS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WITH THE LATEST.

MORGAN YOU'RE ON CAMPUS. OBVIOUSLY, IT'S BEEN ACTIVE OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, ESPECIALLY TODAY. BUT WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU SEE ? >> WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, JUST RIGHT OVER MY SHOULDER HERE, WE'VE GOT A DOZEN PROTESTERS.

GATHERED RIGHT OUTSIDE OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HERE. ALEX, I CAN TELL YOU THAT MANY OF THEM HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN HERE SINCE THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND THEN EVEN INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WE'VE GOT DEMONSTRATORS HERE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE.

RIGHT. SOME WHO SAY THE UNIVERSITY ISN'T DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT STUDENTS FROM ANTI-SEMITISM. BUT THEN ALSO, AS STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING PALESTINIANS AND WITH THAT ONGOING CRISIS THERE IN GAZA THAT CONTINUES.

TO UNFOLD. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M WATCHING FOR RIGHT NOW, ALEX, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, HERE AT COLUMBIA, STUDENTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN A NOTICE TO DISPERSE THAT NOTICE. AND I OBTAINED A COPY OF THAT LETTER.

THEY WERE GIVEN UNTIL 9:00 YESTERDAY TO DISPERSE. IT IS NOW GOING ON 1215 AT 1230, AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T DONE SO. AND SO ACCORDING TO THAT LETTER. AND IF STUDENTS DON'T DISPERSE SOON, THEY FACE SOME SORT.

OF PENALTY BY THE UNIVERSITY, BUT ALSO YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GOT YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT NYPD ON HAND AS WELL. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF ARRESTS, ABOUT FIVE. THAT DOES INCLUDE ONE MINOR. AND WE ARE WORKING TO DETERMINE THE CHARGES ARE FOR THAT.

BUT CERTAINLY WE ARE KEEPING OUR EYES ON HOW THINGS UNFOLD HERE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES, ESPECIALLY IN THAT LETTER THAT STUDENTS NEED TO DISPERSE. >> MORGAN THE OTHER THING IS KIND OF REFERENCES EARLIER, BUT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

ACROSS COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES AROUND THE COUNTRY. BASICALLY, SINCE THE START OF OF OF THIS WAR. >> SO HOW HOW ARE INSTITUTIONS BALANCING ALL OF THIS? YEAH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN, AGAIN, STUDENTS GATHERING ON BOTH OF THE ISSUE JUST FROM.

COAST TO COAST. YOU KNOW, I CAN SAY THE SITUATION, YOU KNOW, ON COLUMBIA, WE PLAYED PART OF THAT SOUNDBITE FROM THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT, A GRILLED BY LAWMAKERS THERE, SPENDING HOURS DEFENDING HERSELF AGAINST CLAIMS THAT,.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S ALLOWED, QUOTE, THE UNIVERSITY TO BECOME A HOTBED FOR ANTISEMITISM. YOU KNOW, SOME WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, THE PROTESTS AND THE DEMONSTRATIONS THAT YOU SEE HERE TODAY AND EVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE A MATTER OF GREAT SPEECH.

BUT THEN OTHERS, YOU KNOW SAY THAT EXACT OPPOSITE. BUT CERTAINLY WHAT IS CLEAR TODAY, WHAT YOU SEE RIGHT BEHIND ME IS A REPRESENTATION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE FIRED UP.

ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FIRED UP ABOUT THE WAR AND HAVE THOUGHTS AND THEY HAVE OPINIONS. AND, YOU KNOW, LAWMAKERS AGAIN ,THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW BAD THIS SITUATION IS. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE INTEREST RIGHT NOW AND SOME PARTS THEIR INTEREST HAS BEEN.

WHAT THEY SAY IS PROTECTING, YOU KNOW, STUDENTS FROM ANTI-SEMITISM AND HARASSMENT. SO, AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW ALL OF THIS PLAYS OUT HERE AS THESE PROTESTS CONTINUE HERE ON COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S CAMPUS ALEX. >> OKAY.

MORGAN NORWOOD AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, UPTOWN. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MEANWHILE, OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY IS EXPECTED TO ENDORSE PRESIDENT BIDEN TODAY IN PUBLIC SHOW OF SUPPORT. DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING IT WILL HELP CONVINCE VOTERS NOT.

TO SUPPORT ROBERT KENNEDY JUNIOR'S INDEPENDENT BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN FOR MORE. RICK, HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT ENDORSEMENT COMING FROM RFK JR'S OWN FAMILY?.

>> YEAH, IN A NORMAL YEAR I THINK A BUNCH OF KENNEDYS ENDORSING THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT WOULD NOT BE A STORY. BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR OWN, ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR IS FOR PRESIDENT AS AN INDEPENDENT.

CANDIDATE AND JUST ABOUT ALL OF HIS MEMBERS, INCLUDING MANY OF HIS SIBLINGS, COUSINS AND VARIOUS VARIOUS OTHER MEMBERS OF THE EXTENDED KENNEDY CLAN, SAY THEY LIKE WHAT HE'S DOING. SOME OF THEM ARE PRETTY HORRIFIED BY IT, ACTUALLY. AND VIEW IT AS ANTITHETICAL.

TO THE KENNEDY LEGACY. SO FOR THEM TO BE INVOKING THE KENNEDY NAME AGAINST ONE OF THEIR OWN, AGAINST SOMEONE WHO CARRIES ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS NAMES IN ALL OF POLITICS IS STRIKING. AND I THINK IT TELLS YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE THE STATE.

OF DEMOCRATIC AS WELL AND THE FEAR RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR RFK JR TO PLAY SPOILER THIS FALL. >> WELL, AND RICK, WHILE I HAVE YOU, I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS STORY THAT'S KIND OF BREWING OUT OF ARKANSAS WHERE GOVERNOR SARAH HUCKABEE.

SANDERS, THE FORMER TRUMP PRESS SECRETARY, IS UNDER FIRE FOR ALLEGEDLY SPENDING $19,000 IN TAXPAYER FUNDS ON A LEFT TURN SAYING REPUBLICANS ULTIMATELY REPAID THE COST OF THAT LEFT TURN AFTER THAT, THE PURCHASE WAS MADE PUBLIC. BUT SANDERS WAS DEFIANT.

IN DISMISSING THESE FINDINGS, POSTING THIS VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA. NOW, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AS WELL. BUT I AM CURIOUS. BESIDES THE PRODUCE VIDEO IN AND THE JAY-Z TRACK THERE,.

WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR AS THIS KIND OF PLAYS OUT? >> WELL, AN AUDIT IN THAT CASE FOUND EVIDENCE THEY BELIEVE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE WENT BACK AND DOCTORED SOME OF THE TO SUGGEST THAT THE PLAN WAS ALWAYS TO HAVE THIS REIMBURSED BY BY PRIVATE FUNDS.

ULTIMATELY WAS REIMBURSED. BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PLAN. AND THE WHOLE THING WAS SHROUDED IN THIS AIR OF MYSTERY. IN FACT, IT WAS A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU EVEN ALLOWED TO SEE THIS PODIUM.

THE TAXPAYER WAS INITIALLY PAID FOR IT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S REIMBURSED. IT'S A STORY, ALEX, AND IT COMES AS SARAH SANDERS IS POTENTIALLY BEING CONSIDERED AS DONALD TRUMP'S RUNNING MATE. SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT.

BUT THE WAY THAT IS TREATED, THIS IS KIND OF CLASSIC TRUMP STYLE OF NOTHING, NOTHING TO HIDE HERE. IN FACT, LET ME SHOW IT OFF AND GIVE YOU SOME SOME MUSIC TO WATCH TO ACCOMPANY THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PODIUM. >> OH, LISTEN, WE'RE TALKING.

ABOUT IT, BUT THANK YOU, SERVER, FOR BREAKING THIS DOWN FOR US. ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP.

THE ALREADY SEATED JUROR NUMBER FOUR HAS NOW BEEN EXCUSED AFTER A LENGTHY DISCUSSION AT. THE BENCH. THIS BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SEATED JURORS FROM SEVEN DOWN TO FIVE. THE JUDGE IS NOW HOPING FOR OPENING STATEMENTS TO BEGIN.

MONDAY ONLY AS LONG AS 12 JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATIVE. AND SEATED BY THEN. WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. AND COMING UP, SAVING ON COSTS FOR KIDS. YOU ASKED FOR TIPS.

AND OUR BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT OR BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS HAS THE ANSWERS RIGHT AFTER THE BREAK. WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL ATTACK BY HAMAS ON THE GROUND.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. WE'RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE HERE, STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE, STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE. >> AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. THEY'RE THE MOST MYSTERIOUS CREATURES ON EARTH.

THEY'RE MASTERMINDS AND SHAPESHIFTERS. THEY'RE JUST SO INCREDIBLY ALIEN AND YET MORE LIKE US THAN WE EVER HAVE IMAGINED. WHAT MORE DO THEY HAVE TO TELL US? >> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE.

>> IT'S TIME NOW FOR OUR WEEKLY SEGMENT ASK, ALEXIS, WHERE BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS SHARES FINANCIAL ADVICE ON TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. AND TODAY SHE'S HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ON SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND ALSO.

SAVING MONEY ON SUMMER CAMP. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS, YOU READY? I'M READY. >> OKAY, LET'S START. HEY, LET'S LET'S START WITH TAMMY FROM TENNESSEE HERE. TAMMY WRITES, MY HUSBAND JUST STARTED RECEIVING HIS SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS, BUT I'M.

HOLDING OFF ON GETTING MINE. >> HOW WILL HIS SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS BE TAXED. >> THIS IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION. TAMMY, WE APPRECIATE YOU ASKING. SO, LOOK, MOST STATES DON'T TAX YOUR SOCIAL, BUT AT LEAST.

SOME OF THE BENEFIT IS TAXED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. NOW HOW MUCH DEPENDS ON YOUR INCOME AND YOUR FILING STATUS, NOT YOUR AGE. SECURITY INCOME CAN BE TAXABLE NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE. SO FIRST, YOU WANT TO FIGURE OUT YOUR COMBINED INCOME TO DO.

THAT. YOU WANT TO TAKE HALF THE SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY YOU COLLECT DURING THE YEAR AND ADD IT TO ANY PENSIONS, WAGES, INTEREST, DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS. NOW, IF YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND FILE YOUR TAXES JOINTLY AS MOST.

DO, AND YOUR COMBINED INCOME IS BETWEEN 32 AND $44,000, THEN 50% OF THE BENEFIT WILL BE TAXED. IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 44,000 AND COMBINED INCOME, THEN 85% OF YOUR HUSBAND'S SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK WILL BE TAXED. AND JUST A REMINDER FOR FOLKS.

IN GENERAL, YOU CAN START RECEIVING YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT AT AGE 62, BUT AT A REDUCED AMOUNT, YOU'LL GET YOUR FULL BENEFIT ONCE YOU REACH YOUR FULL RETIREMENT AGE. THAT DEPENDS ON THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN.

AND IF YOU COULD HOLD OFF ON TAPPING INTO SOCIAL SECURITY UNTIL YOU'RE 70, YOUR BENEFIT AMOUNT WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE. >> ALEX ALL RIGHT. >> GOOD TIPS. OKAY. NEXT ONE IS COMING FROM ANGELIQUE IN NEW YORK, AND SHE.

ADDS, WE WANT TO SEND OUR NINE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO DAY CAMP THIS SUMMER, BUT IT'S SO EXPENSIVE. DO YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOWER OUR CAMP. >> YEAH. LOTS OF PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS.

GETTING STICKER SHOCK WHEN PRICE OUT THEIR SUMMER CAMPS FOR THEIR KIDS AS INFLATION CONTINUES TO IMPACT JUST ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES. RIGHT. SO ONE WAY TO LOWER THE COST IS TO ASK ABOUT FINANCIAL AID.

WHICH A LOT OF CAMPS OFFER TO QUALIFIED FAMILIES. ALSO SEE IF THE CAMP HAS A PAYMENT PLAN SO THAT YOU CAN AT LEAST SPREAD OUT THE COST AND SEE IF YOUR CHILD OR YOUR FAMILY CAN QUALIFY FOR A MERIT OR NEED BASED SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH A CIVIC.

ORGANIZATION. >> IT'S THE GIRL SCOUTS, A LOCAL SERVICE CLUB, OR A VETERANS POST. LOOK INTO THE CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE TAX CREDIT AS WELL. THAT COULD OFFSET UP TO $3,000 OF SUMMER CAMP COSTS PER CHILD.

AND FOR FUTURE PLANNING. IF YOUR JOB OFFERS A FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT KNOWN AS AN FSA, PUT ASIDE SOME PRETAX DOLLARS. THERE THAT CAN BE USED FOR THINGS LIKE DAY CAMPS AND ALSO SAVE ON TAX BILL IN THE PROCESS.

>> IT'S A CHEAPER ONE THERE, ALEX. TWO FOR ONE. WE LOVE THOSE. ALEXIS, THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS. ALL COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK, BREAKING INTO THE OLYMPICS. MEET THE AMERICAN BREAKDANCER WHO WILL BE COMPETING FOR.

THE GOLD ON THE WORLD STAGE. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES, PLAYED VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO CONFLICT WITH THEIR SON OR HIS CRIES FOR HELP. THEY'RE WALKING DOWN FIRST.

PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL. THEY PURCHASED THAT GUN AND BRAGGED, YOU DON'T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THAT'S A CLEAN SENSE OF THE PARENTS. >> THE TROMBLEY TRIALS. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT.

HATE. >> IT'S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULU. >> TONIGHT, DONALD TRUMP'S CRIMINAL TRIAL MOVED CLOSER TO SEALING A JURY. PLUS, WILL THE BATTLE OVER UKRAINE AID PUT HOUSE SPEAKER'S JOB IN JEOPARDY AGAIN?.

. JUROR NUMBER FOUR IS NOW BEEN EXCUSED. THE JUDGE SAID THE EXPRESSED ANNOYANCE AT HOW MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT HIM HAD BEEN PUBLICIZED. THIS MEANS THERE ARE NOW FIVE SEATED JURORS AFTER JUROR.

NUMBER TWO WAS EXCUSED EARLIER TODAY. THIS COMES AS PROSECUTORS ARE URGING THE JUDGE TO HOLD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT, ALLEGING MORE GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS. THE JUDGE IS HOPING FOR OPENING STATEMENTS TO BEGIN MONDAY, SO LONG AS 12 JURORS AND SIX.

ALTERNATES HAVE BEEN SEATED BY THEN. TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO CONCEAL A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT JOINS ME NOW LIVE.

OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR IN NEW YORK SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT NOWADAY. ERIN, I WANT TO START WITH YOU ON THIS. WHAT'S THE LATEST AS THIS JURY.

SELECTION FACES MORE SETBACKS? JUROR NUMBER FOUR WAS JUST EXCUSED BY THE JUDGE AFTER LENGTHY CONFERENCE AT THE BENCH. THE JUROR, A MAN FROM, PUERTO RICO, ORIGINALLY A GRANDFATHER, WHO SAID HE FOUND TRUMP TO BE FASCINATING AND MYSTERIOUS,.

FAILED TO DISCLOSE A COUPLE OF PRIOR ENCOUNTERS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. HE HAD ARRESTED, APPARENTLY FOR PLUCKING POLITICAL SIGNS DOWN, POLITICAL SIGNS, SOME OF WHICH LEAN TO THE POLITICAL, ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS. AND IT TURNS OUT THAT HIS WIFE.

HAD ENTERED INTO SOME KIND OF A DEFERRED PROSECUTION AGREEMENT WITH THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, THE VERY PROSECUTING THAT IS NOW PUTTING TRUMP ON TRIAL. AND SO THE JUDGE DECIDED TO EXCUSE HIM FROM, THE FROM THE JURY.

HE HAD ALREADY BEEN SEATED ALONG WITH A NURSE AND ONCOLOGY NURSE, JUROR NUMBER TWO, WHO SAID THAT SHE NO LONGER FELT COMFORTABLE SERVING. >> SHE SAID SHE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT HER ABILITY TO BE FAIR, IMPARTIAL AFTER FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAD REACHED OUT.

TO HER. AND SHE ALSO WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE AMOUNT OF PERSONALLY INFORMATION THAT HAD BEEN MADE PUBLIC. SO THOSE TWO JURORS ARE NOW OFF THE PANEL. THERE ARE NOW FIVE SEATED JURORS, MEANING THEY NEED.

TO GET SEVEN MORE. >> WELL, AND CATHERINE, LOOK A LOT AT STAKE HERE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL PLAYING OUT AS THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO CAMPAIGN FOR ANOTHER BID, THE WHITE HOUSE. >> IT IS. BUT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE.

YOU SEE THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL STRATEGIES COLLIDING HERE, NOT ONLY IN THIS CASE, BUT IN ALL OF THE OTHER CASES. TRUMP'S LEGAL STRATEGY HAS DELAY, DELAY, DELAY, SLOW THIS DOWN AT EVERY TURN, NO MATTER WHAT. BUT POLITICALLY, HE IS SAYING.

HE WANTS GET BACK OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. HE WANTS TO SPEED THIS UP. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO SIT A COURTROOM FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 8 WEEKS EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT THIS COURT IS SITTING? SO YOU'RE SEEING THE STRATEGY IS COLLIDE HERE AND THEY'RE.

REALLY CONCERNED VICTORY TO EACH OTHER IN MANY WAYS. NOW, OF COURSE, HE WILL GO OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL OVER THE WEEKEND DURING THIS TRIAL. WE SEE. WE SAW ON WEDNESDAY WHEN THIS COURT ISN'T IN SESSION THAT HE DOES EVENTS AROUND NEW YORK.

SO WE'LL SEE A LOT OF THAT. BUT REALLY, WE ARE SEEING STRATEGY AND FRANKLY, COLLIDING STRATEGY, LACK OF STRATEGY, WHERE THEY REALLY HAVE TO BALANCE THE POLITICAL AND THE LEGAL. AND IT'S TO BE HARD, GIVEN THAT HE HAS TO BE THERE EVERY.

DAY. THIS COURT IS IN. >> WELL, IN COURT, WE HEARD FROM JUROR NUMBER FOUR, WHO WAS JUST EXCUSED THE JUDGE SAID THE MAN EXPRESS ANNOYANCE AT HOW MUCH OF HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION HAD PUBLICIZED. LOOK, THIS IS A BIG TRIAL.

AND SO OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF MEDIA ATTENTION. BUT I'M CURIOUS IN IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, IS ARE THE TIDBITS THAT WE'RE GETTING ABOUT JURORS I MEAN, IS THIS ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY? >> I DON'T THINK SO. AND I THINK THIS IS THE TYPE.

OF VETTING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE FRANKLY, WHAT WE LEARNED TODAY ABOUT JURY NUMBER FOUR AND HIS BACKGROUND AND THE REASON HIS REMOVAL FROM THE JURY, I HAVE TO THINK THAT THERE WAS A COLLECTIVE SIGH OF RELIEF IN THAT COURTROOM FROM.

THE PROSECUTORS FROM THE DEFENSE, FROM THE JUDGE THAT THEY FOUND THIS OUT. NOW, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO FIND THESE THINGS OUT NOW RATHER THAN LATER, AFTER SOMEONE'S ALREADY BEING IMPANELED AND THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED THE TRIAL BECAUSE FRANKLY, THIS.

COME OUT LATER ON, IT COULD HAVE BEEN GROUNDS FOR A MISTRIAL OR PROBLEMS WITH THE CASE. SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING THAT'S TYPICAL TO TRY TO VET THE JURORS AND MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IS AN IMPARTIAL JURY.

>> ALL AARON KATERSKY, KATHERINE FAULDERS AND CON NOWADAYS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO BE FOLLOWING THIS CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. AND NOW WE HAVE SOME SAD BREAKING NEWS.

ALLMAN BROTHERS LEAD GUITARIST, SINGER AND SONGWRITER DICKEY BETTS HAS DIED. BETTS FAMILY ISSUED A STATEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAYING HE PASSED AWAY EARLIER TODAY AT HIS HOME IN OSPREY, FLORIDA, SURROUNDED HIS FAMILY. THEY SAY DICKEY WAS LARGER THAN.

LIFE AND THAT HIS LOSS WILL BE FELT WORLDWIDE. BETTS IS KNOWN FOR WRITING THE ALLMAN BROTHERS HIT SONG RAMBLIN MAN AND WAS INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE BAND IN 1995. DICKEY BETTS WAS 80 YEARS OLD.

AND ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, A PUBLIC DISPLAY OF SUPPORT. TODAY, AS MUCH OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY IS EXPECTED TO APPEAR IN MASS TO ENDORSE PRESIDENT BIDEN. DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING THE STORIED FAMILY WILL HELP CONVINCE VOTERS NOT TO SUPPORT.

ROBERT KENNEDY, INDEPENDENT BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. ALL RIGHT. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS TAKES A LOOK AT A DIVIDED FAMILY. >> HE'S THE FOURTH KENNEDY TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. I'M HERE TO DECLARE MYSELF INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.

>> BUT THE FIRST TO BREAK WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. FAMOUSLY KNOWN FOR ESPOUSING CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF VACCINES, OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED HIS PRESIDENTIAL BID LAST YEAR. HE'S RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT.

,WHICH MEANS HIS CAMPAIGN MUST COLLECT ANYWHERE FROM HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES, DEPENDING ON THE STATE TO GET ON THE BALLOT. ONLY UTAH CONFIRMED THAT KENNEDY IS QUALIFIED. >> BUT HIS CAMPAIGN SAYS.

THEY HAVE ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO GET HIM ON THE BALLOT THERE AND IN SEVEN OTHER STATES. SEVERAL OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS ARE WORRIED HE COULD SWING A CLOSE RACE BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN. >> SOME OF HIS SIBLINGS ARE CALLING HIS RUN DANGEROUS.

COUSIN JACK. PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY'S GRANDSON CALLS IT AN EMBARRASSMENT. I KNOW HIM. I HAVE NO IDEA. LIKE THINKS HE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT. >> I AM CONCERNED THAT VOTING.

FOR BOBBY IS GOING TO TAKE VOTES AWAY FROM BIDEN AND LEAD TO A TRUMP ELECTION. >> BUT THE 70-YEAR-OLD SAYS HE HAS MANY RELATIVES. >> HIS DAUGHTER IN LAW WHO RUNS HIS CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT HIS CANDIDACY. COME FROM A FAMILY, FROM.

A MILIEU WHERE WE CAME HOME AT NIGHT AND WITH MY FATHER. AND HE WOULD ORCHESTRATE DEBATES BETWEEN US. AND WE WERE IN THE SAME WAY THAT HIS FATHER WITH HIM. >> AND WE COULD DISAGREE ON ISSUES AND. WE COULD DISAGREE WITH PASSION.

AND INFORMATION, BUT WE STILL LOVE EACH. >> OUR THANKS TO GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS FOR THAT. AND WE'LL HAVE CONTINUING CAMPAIGN COVERAGE ALL DAY LONG . PRINCE WILLIAMS IS MAKING HIS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE.

AND HIS WIFE, PRINCESS KATHERINE, REVEALED HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS LAST MONTH. MAGGIE RULLI IS IN LONDON WITH ALL THE DETAILS. >> HEY, MAGGIE. THEY ALEX? YEAH. PRINCE WILLIAM HAS OFFICIALLY.

RETURNED TO PUBLIC. HE'S TAKEN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OFF TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY, AND HE HAD POSTPONED SEVERAL ENGAGEMENTS. LEADING UP TO KATE'S ANNOUNCEMENT. BUT JUST THIS MORNING, WE SAW HIM OUT IN PUBLIC.

HE VISITED WEST LONDON AND SURREY. THAT'S A COUNTY ABOUT AN HOUR SOUTH OF US HERE IN LONDON. AND HE WAS VISITING CHARITIES ABOUT FOOD. AND WE KNOW THAT ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES LIKE THIS ONE ARE SO.

CLOSE TO, THE PRINCE'S HEART. NOW, AS FOR PRINCESS KATE AND WHEN SHE COULD BE RETURNING OFFICIAL ROYAL DUTIES, RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO TIMELINE FROM. THE PALACE IN THAT VIDEO MESSAGE, SHE DID REITERATE THAT SHE WAS FEELING WELL.

AND SHE'S, QUOTE, GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY. BUT WE UNDERSTAND SHE WILL ONLY BE RETURNING TO ROYAL DUTIES WHEN HER DOCTORS SAY IT'S OKAY FOR HER TO DO SO. NOW, WE DO EXPECT TO BE SEEING A LOT MORE OF PRINCE WILLIAM IN THE COMING WEEKS THIS MONTH.

AS HE'S REALLY ONLY JUST ONE OF A HANDFUL OF SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY THAT ARE STILL MAKING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS. HE'S ALSO SOBERING, A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS FATHER, KING CHARLES, AS HE CONTINUES TO UNDERGO CANCER.

TREATMENT AS BECAUSE WE LAST SAW THE MONARCH ON EASTER HERE IN LONDON. AND WE DO UNDERSTAND HE'S STILL MAKING THOSE WEEKLY AUDIENCES WITH THE PRIME MINISTER. BUT THAT'S WHEN HE COULD BE BACK DOING ANY TYPE OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS AGAIN.

TORONTO RAPTORS CENTER JONTAY PORTER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR LIFE AFTER INVESTIGATION UNCOVERED HIS ALLEGED CONNECTION TO SPORTS BETTING, DISCLOSING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION TO BETTORS, LIMITING HIS OWN PLAYING TIME AND EVEN BETTING ON A GAME.

HIMSELF. ABC'S WOOD JOHNSON HAS MORE ON THE NBA BANNING JONTAY PORTER OF THE TORONTO RAPTORS LIFE. THE 24 YEAR OLD'S PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL CAREER DERAILED, VIOLATING THE LEAGUE'S RULES ON SPORTS BETTING. AN INVESTIGATION CONCLUDING.

ALLEGEDLY PLACED AT LEAST 13 BETS ON NBA GAMES UNDER AN ASSOCIATE'S ACCOUNT, RANGING FROM $15 TO 22,000, TOTALING MORE THAN $54,000. >> THIS WILL HAVE A DEFINITE IMPACT ON THE GAMING MARKET AND WHAT IS OFFERED TO BE FROM SPORTSBOOKS THE NBA.

>> PORTER ALSO ACCUSED OF BETTING AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM AND DISCLOSING PRIVATE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS HEALTH STATUS TO SOMEONE PLACING BETS ON HIS GAME STATS AND THEN EVEN LEAVING A GAME EARLY ILLNESS. THE NBA COMMISSIONER RELEASING.

A STATEMENT SAYING IN PART, THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF NBA COMPETITION, WHICH IS WHY JONTAY PORTER IS BLATANT VIOLATION OF OUR GAME. RULES ARE BEING MET WITH THE MOST SEVERE PUNISHMENT BET ON ANYTHING AND FLAWED.

>> JUST LAST YEAR ALONE, SPORTS IN THIS COUNTRY PASSING THE $100 BILLION MARK WITH EASY TO USE APPS AND CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS, HELPING TO FUEL ITS POPULARITY. >> SINCE WE HAD THE VISIBILITY OF THOSE BETS THAT WERE PLACED ON THESE GAMES THAT QUARTER WAS.

INVOLVED IN IT WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEM AND COME THIS INVESTIGATION PRETTY QUICKLY. >> OUR THANKS TO WHIT JOHNSON FOR THAT. AND I WANT TO BRING IN ESPN REPORTER DAVID PURDUM, WHO COVERS SPORTS GAMBLING FOR OUR SISTER NETWORK AND HAS BEEN.

TRACKING THIS STORY. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I WANT TO START BECAUSE THE NBA HAS SAID IT IS INVESTING REMAINS OPEN AND SO ON. IS THAT AN INDICATION THAT THERE STILL BE OTHERS INVOLVED? >> NOT NECESSARILY OTHERS.

INVOLVED, BUT I'M SURE THEY ARE SHARING INFORMATION, AS WE SAID. BUT FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ARE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHO THE ASSOCIATE BETS WERE THAT THE INFORMATION WAS SHARED WITH AND WHO PLACED SOME OF THOSE.

THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER GAMES IMPACTED. SO THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR, BUT THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE AND THAT IS THAT CONTEXT. >> AND SO THE OTHER THING.

THAT THE RED FLAGGED THE REGULATORS HERE DRAWN TO WERE THE IRREGULAR BETTING PATTERNS. THE ACTION ON CORNER. BUT THIS IS HARDLY THE FIRST TIME OR THE FIRST HIGH PROFILE INSTANCE SINCE THE SUPREME COURT PAVED WAY FOR.

SPORTS BETTING TO BECOME LEGAL IN 2018. I MEAN, CURIOUS, ARE WE GETTING A SENSE OF JUST HOW PREVALENT SPORTS BETTING IS AMONGST ATHLETES AND COACHING STAFFS? >> WE CERTAINLY HAVE MORE VISIBILITY INTO THE MARKET THAN WE EVER HAVE BEFORE.

SPORTS SPORTS BETTING WAS BROUGHT INTO THE LIGHT ABOUT 2018 THE SUPREME COURT DECISION. BEFORE THEN, IT PRETTY MUCH RESTRICTED PRIMARILY TO NEVADA OFFSHORE SPORTSBOOKS AND LOCAL BOOKMAKERS. AND WHEN SOMETHING WAS UNTOWARD.

HAPPENING IN THOSE VENUES IN THE OFFSHORE WORLD, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THAT. THIS NEW VISIBILITY OF THE LEGALIZED LEGALIZED MARKET IS ALLOWING US TO SEE HOW PREVALENT WE HAVE IN THESE BETTORS ARE BETTING.

APPROPRIATELY. >> YOU RECENTLY WROTE THAT WITH REGARD TO SPORTS BETTING, PERHAPS THE SAFEST BET IS THAT THERE WILL BE MORE CONTROVERSIES. THIS IS AN INDUSTRY THAT STILL HAS TO GROW, RIGHT? I MEAN, CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS,.

THE TWO MOST POPULATED STATES IN THE COUNTRY, HAVE YET TO LEGALIZE IT. SO, I MEAN, HOW YOU PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF SPORTS, KNOWING THAT THIS INDUSTRY IS IS ONLY GOING TO GROW. >> YEAH, IT'S DIFFICULT TO STOP SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO BREAK.

THE RULES THAT ARE PUT IN PLACE. IT'S VERY EASY FOR ANYONE WHO SHOULD NOT BE BETTING TO HAND THEIR PHONE OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE OR TELL THEIR FAMILY MEMBER, A FRIEND AND PLACE THIS BET FOR ME. BUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS TRY.

TO PUT DETERRENTS IN PLACE AND A LIFETIME BAN LIKE WE'RE SEEING IN THE NBA. CERTAINLY WE WOULD HOPE TO BE THAT DETERRENCE. I ALSO THINK WE COULD RESTRICT THE OPTIONS OF BETTING. MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW BETTING ON PLAYERS THAT ARE.

ON TWO WAY CONTRACT LIKE BORDER WAS THAT HAVE SMALLER SALARIES OR MAYBE WE EVEN MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T ACCEPT LARGE BETS ON THESE TYPES OF PLAYER PROPS. MAKE BETTING LIMITS MAYBE NEED TO REDUCE. SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT.

THE INTEGRITY. >> WELL, THAT LIFETIME BAN CERTAINLY DOES SEND A MESSAGE. ESPN SPORTS BETTING REPORTER DAVE PURDUM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. AND JUST MONTHS AWAY FROM THE PARIS OLYMPICS, SIMON BILES IS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE.

MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES THAT LED HER TO WITHDRAW FROM EVENTS IN THE TOKYO GAMES. THE FOUR TIME GOLD MEDALIST SAYS IT FELT LIKE AN ISSUE VERY FEW COULD RELATE TO AND THAT A PHYSICAL INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND.

ABC'S LAURA SPENCER HAS THE LATEST. >> AMERICA HATES ME. THE WORLD GOING TO HATE ME AND I CAN ONLY SEE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ON TWITTER RIGHT NOW. GYMNASTICS COACH SIMONE BILES OPENING UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH BATTLE.

SHE FACED AT THE TOKYO SUMMER OLYMPICS IN 2021 THAT LED HER TO WITHDRAW FROM MULTIPLE. I WOULD LITERALLY TELL THE TEAM, MY TEAMMATES LIKE I'M FIGHTING, I'M FIGHTING DEMONS RIGHT NOW. SO I LITERALLY FELT LIKE I WAS FIGHTING MY BODY AND MY MIND.

TO DO THESE TRICKS. >> THE FOUR TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SITTING DOWN WITH ALEX COOPER ON THE COLOR DADDY PODCAST ON WEDNESDAY TALKING ABOUT HER DECISION TO REMOVE HERSELF FROM THE WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS ALL ROUND FINAL AFTER.

EXPERIENCING WHAT SHE CALLED THE TWISTIES. >> IT'S BASICALLY LIKE YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY IS AT A DISCONNECT. YOUR BODY IS GOING TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING AND. YOUR MIND IS GOING TO BE LIKE, NO, YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS.

THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR SO LONG AND YOU NOW NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL. >> TERRIFYING, TERRIFYING BILES, RECALLING THE SHAKY VAULT ROUTINE THAT PROMPTED HER TO WITHDRAW. I GO TO TELL MY COACH AND I.

SAID, I'M DONE. I'M NOT DOING ANYMORE. BECAUSE IF I SURVIVE THAT, I KNOW HOW MUCH ELSE I CAN SURVIVE. LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, I'M A CAT WITH NINE LIVES. BUT I THINK THAT WAS MY NINTH. >> I'M DONE.

THAT DECISION SENDING SHOCKWAVES ACROSS THE GLOBE AS SHE PULLED HERSELF FROM HER REMAINING EVENTS. BUT EVENTUALLY MANAGING TO COMPETE ON THE BEAM WHERE SHE WON A BRONZE MEDAL, THE WOMEN'S TEAM GOING ON TO WIN THE SILVER.

IF SHE AS THE OLYMPIC GAMES, THE GRANDEST STAGE IN HER SPORT, THE SO MANY EXPECTATIONS ON HER, IF SHE COULD SAY I CAN'T GO ON, THEN THAT CERTAINLY GAVE SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE ATHLETES OR NOT THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE OPENING FOR THEM TO SAY, HEY,.

I NEED HELP. >> BILES SAYING THAT MOMENT WAS THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF TRAUMA, INCLUDING THE ABUSE SHE SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF CONVICTED GYMNASTICS DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR. IT WASN'T JUST A MENTAL INJURY THAT HAPPENED.

CALLED THE TWISTIES. IT'S LIKE COMPRESSING ALL OF THIS FOR SO MANY YEARS. IT JUST UNFOLDED LIKE LIKE YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T COMPRESS THAT MUCH LONGER. EXPERTS PRAISING SIMONE'S ABILITY TO STOP AND WORK THROUGH IT.

ONE THING LED SIMONE DID TEACH THE WORLD IS THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A LIFELONG AFFLICTION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE MANAGED, DEALT WITH THE HELP OF THERAPY AND TRAINING. >> BILES NOW HAS HER SIGHTS ON A POTENTIAL COMEBACK FOR.

PARIS 2024. CONTINUE TO WORK ON MY BODY AND MY MIND, JUST LIKE I HAVE THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, IT'S WORKED. AND SO TO JUST STAY ON TOP OF THAT, IT'S EXHAUSTING. LIKE I HAVE TO DO IT. IT'S — IT'S WORKING.

>> YOU'RE WATCHING AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS KEEP STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE. WELCOME BACK. THE CDC, FDA ARE INVESTIGATING CASES OF FAKE BOTOX AND MISHANDLED BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTIONS AFTER AT LEAST 19 PEOPLE ACROSS NINE STATES.

WERE GIVEN BAD SHOTS. OFFICIALS SAY THE BOTOX WAS EITHER COUNTERFEIT OR ADMINISTERED BY SOMEONE WHO WAS UNLICENSED OR UNTRAINED AND IN SOME CASES, INJECTIONS WERE GIVEN TO NON HEALTH CARE. IN THE NON-HEALTH CARE SETTINGS LIKE HOMES OR SPAS.

DERMATOLOGISTS. MICHELLE HENRY JOINS ME NOW FOR RE ON THIS. DR. HENRY BOTOX IS A NAME BRAND OF ONE FORM OF BOTULINUM TOXIN. THERE ARE FIVE FDA APPROVED FORMS OF THE DRUG. SO HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING?.

>> SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE SOURCE WHO'S INJECTING IT. >> SO THESE COMPANIES CREATE THESE NEUROTOXINS ARE REALLY WELL REGULATED. I'VE BEEN TO SOME OF THE FACTORIES. IT'S A LEVEL OF SCIENTIFIC.

RIGOR AND QUALITY CONTROL IS HIGH AS THEY ONLY ALLOW LICENSED PRACTITIONERS TO PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCT. >> SO IF IT'S NOT A LICENSED PRACTITIONER, THEY LIKELY DO NOT HAVE THE BRANDED, WHICH IS SAFE. >> WELL, AND ALSO FOR THOSE.

CONSIDERING BOTOX, WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD THEY BE ASKING BEFORE GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL? >> SO YOU WANT TO AGAIN, MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A LICENSED PRACTITIONER, THAT YOU'RE HAVING IT DONE IN A MEDICAL OFFICE, A HEALTH CARE SPACE, SO.

THAT YOU'RE CERTAIN THAT THE QUALITY CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE BOTTLE, IT'S OKAY TO ASK. IT SHOULD SAY A LITTLE BOTULINUM TOXIN THAT IS A GENERIC NAME. SO LOT OF THE COUNTERFEIT PRODUCT SAID BOTOX TYPE A,.

WHICH IS NOT WHAT ADD THE PRODUCT HAS ON IT THAT THE LANGUAGE IS IN ENGLISH. SO ALL THE PRODUCT THAT'S DISTRIBUTED IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH IS ALLOWED FOR TO USE, HAS ENGLISH WRITTEN ON THE BOTTLE. MAKE SURE THAT'S 100 UNITS.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE SEE FOR BOTOX. YOU KNOW THE COUNTERFEIT ISN'T 150. SO LOOKING FOR THOSE MARKERS ARE REALLY CRITICAL AND DON'T SHY AWAY FROM ASKING YOUR PRACTITIONER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND YOU WELL,.

AND ALSO JUST BIG PICTURE HERE. WHAT IS BOTOX AND WHAT ARE THE RISKS SURROUNDING SO BOTOX BRAND. >> IT'S ONLY BOTULINUM. THAT IS A HIGHLY PURIFIED FORM OF BOTULINUM TOXIN. AND BOTULINUM TOXIN IS MADE BY AUSTRIA BOTULINUM.

THAT'S A BACTERIA. AND IN REALLY HIGH DOSES, IT CAN CAUSE PARALYSIS, PARALYSIS. IT CAN AFFECT OUR MUSCLES THAT WE REQUIRE TO BREATHE. SO IT CAN BE FATAL. >> AND WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE BOTULINUM TOXIN COSMETICALLY IS IT'S SO DILUTE.

AND SO PURIFIED THAT IT'S ALLOWING US TO RELAX THE MUSCLES TEMPORARILY FOR COSMETIC BENEFIT. BUT YOU CAN IMAGINE IT'S A VERY REGULATED DOSE, A VERY TINY DOSE THAT REALLY REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT TRAINING TO DO WELL .

>> AND IS THERE ANY ANY GUIDELINES FOR FOR A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX? >> SO A GREAT CANDIDATE IS SOMEONE WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES. >> SO THOSE NUMBER ELEVENS ON THE FOREHEAD, THE HORIZONTAL.

LINES ON, THE FOREHEAD ARE REALLY COMMON AREAS THAT WHAT WE CALL THE CROW'S, THOSE LINES THAT YOU GET FROM SMILING AROUND THE EYES, THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON AREAS AND THE FDA APPROVED AREAS THAT WE TREAT. SO ANYONE LOOKING TO RELAX.

THOSE MUSCLES TEMPORARILY IS A GREAT CANDIDATE. >> YOUR DERMATOLOGIST DR. MICHELLE HENRY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FAKE LUXURY BAGS ARE GETTING A LOT OF HYPE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND NOW CONCERNS ARE GROWING THAT THE KNOCKOFFS MAY.

BE DISRUPTING TRADITIONAL VIEWS ON VALUE AND AUTHENTICITY. COUNTERFEIT HANDBAGS HAVE EVOLVED POORLY MADE IMITATIONS INTO FINELY CRAFTED REPLICAS. SO-CALLED SUPER FAKES THAT ARE SO CLOSE TO THE SO CLOSE TO THE ORIGINALS THAT EXPERTS HAVE A.

HARD TIME TELLING A DIFFERENCE . JANAI NORMAN TALKS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT ABOUT WHAT'S BEHIND THE SHADOW WORLD OF FAKE HANDBAG DISTRIBUTION. >> DUPES AND REPLICAS ARE TAKING OVER. SOME OF THESE ARE JUST YES,.

THIS FEELS LIKE REAL. >> YOUR 200 OH AT A TIME WHEN HIGH END LUXURY BRANDS LIKE HERMÉS AND PRADA CONTINUE TO BOOST THEIR PRICES, SOME CONSUMERS ARE TURNING TO SO-CALLED SUPER FAKES. THEIR CONSIDERED HIGH QUALITY FAKES NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE.

REAL, BUT FOR A MUCH LOWER PRICE. 20 YEARS AGO, COUNTERFEITS WERE TERRIBLE. THOSE WERE $25 ON CANAL STREET, YOU KNOW? YEAH. NOW COUNTERFEITS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, POTENTIALLY.

SOME KIND OF A BIRKIN'S LIKE 6000 PLUS DOLLARS. HANDMADE BIG BAG. THAT'S WHY MADE IT. A STUDY FROM MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY'S SAYS COUNTERFEITERS ARE NORMALIZING THE STIGMA OF OWNING IN PART BY USING INFLUENCERS TO PEDDLE.

THEIR PRODUCTS IN 2023 HANDBAGS AND WALLETS. AS THE SECOND MOST SEIZED COUNTERFEIT ITEM BY U.S.. WORTH OVER $600 MILLION IN ESTIMATED RETAIL VALUE. YOURSELF A COUNTERFEIT HANDBAG WON'T LAND YOU IN JAIL, BUT SELLING COUNTERFEITS IS A.

FEDERAL CRIME. WE DELVE INTO THE EVER EVOLVING UNDERWORLD OF SUPER FAKES. THAT'S CHALLENGING TRADITIONAL VIEWS ON VALUE AND AUTHENTICITY. THESE BAGS ARE NOT WORKS. A COMPLICATED FRESCO ART MAKING SUPER FAKES SUPER EASY BUY.

IT WAS LIKE ALMOST DISAPPOINTINGLY EASY, EASY TO BANK OFF OF, QUITE FRANKLY, COUNTERFEITING IS A VERY LUCRATIVE INDUSTRY AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. VUITTON, THE PRADA, THE CHRISTIAN DIOR, GUCCI. >> WE GET EVERYTHING.

THAT ANALYSTS LIKE THAT WE DO. >> VERY INTERESTING. AND YOU CAN WATCH THE LATEST IMPACT NIGHT. WAYNE SUPER FAKES THE SHADOW WORLD OF COUNTERFEIT PURSES STREAMING NOW ON HULU. NEW EPISODES DROP EVERY THURSDAY.

AS JURY SELECTION CONTINUES IN THIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. WE GOT THE LATEST FROM COURT AS DOZENS OF JURORS ARE EXCUSED ,INCLUDING ONE WHO WAS ALREADY SWORN IN. PLUS, A POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH ON FOREIGN AID.

HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON IS MOVING FORWARD ON PLANS TO FUND BOTH ISRAEL AND UKRAINE . WHAT HE NEEDS FROM DEMOCRATS TO GET IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. AND PROTESTERS OUT IN FORCE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

FRUSTRATION GROWS OVER THAT SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTI-SEMITISM. >> WE'RE LIVE ON CAMPUS WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT. EVERYONE I'M TERRY MORAN WITH OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD.

TRUMP IS BACK AT THE DEFENSE LAWYERS TABLE FOR DAY THREE OF HIS CRIMINAL TRIAL IN NEW YORK CITY. AND WHILE THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG THERE, WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES DURING JURY TODAY. >> ONLY FIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN.

SEATED SO FAR AFTER. TWO WERE EXCUSED EARLIER THIS MORNING. SEVEN ADDITIONAL JURORS ARE STILL NEEDED, ALONG WITH SIX ALTERNATE. SO THEY'VE GOT A WAY GO THERE. A REMINDER, DONALD TRUMP IS FACING A 24 COUNTS.

OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO TRY TO HIDE HIS AFFAIR WITH ADULT FILM STAR STORMY DANIELS. BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. WE'VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE LEADING US OFF ABC SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY RIGHT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE.

BY LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE. SO, AARON, FIRST TO YOU AT YOUR POST THERE. >> WHERE DO THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW ON THIS BLUSTERY COLD DAY? THE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS FOR COMPLAINING HOW COLD IT IS IN THE COURTROOM.

AND THE JUDGE SAID HE'S AFRAID TO TURN ON THE HEAT BECAUSE IT COULD GO UP 30 DEGREES IN THIS 1938 COURTHOUSE. BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY, TERRY, THE MAIN NEWS FROM HERE TODAY IS THE DISMISSAL OF TWO JURORS WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN SEATED FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REASONS,.

JUROR NUMBER TWO AND ONCOLOGY NURSE SAID SHE BECAME UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE AMOUNT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN PUBLICIZED ABOUT HER. SHE SAID SHE HEARD FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BLOWING UP HER, AND SO SHE NO LONGER FELT.

THAT SHE COULD BE FREE FROM OUTSIDE INFLUENCES AND BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL. SHE WAS EXCUSED THIS MORNING. AND THEN JUST A SHORT WHILE, JUROR NUMBER FOUR, A GRANDFATHER ORIGINALLY FROM PUERTO RICO WHO HAD SAID HE FOUND TRUMP FASCINATING.

HE WAS DISMISSED. HE FAILED TO DISCLOSE SOME PRIOR RUN INS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT DURING THE JURY QUESTIONNAIRE. SO NOW WE'RE DOWN TO FIVE SEATED JURORS, MEANING SEVEN MORE NEED TO BE CHOSEN. >> ALONG WITH THOSE.

SIX ALTERNATES, TERRY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT, ERIN AND BRIAN, LET'S PICK UP ON ERIN'S REPORTING THERE. CONSIDERING HOW HIGH PROFILE THIS CASE IS, WE'RE ALL WATCHING, LISTENING TO ERIN'S REPORTS AND OTHERS.

ABOUT THESE PEOPLE. SHOULD THERE BE MORE SECRECY AROUND INFORMATION ABOUT JURORS THAT GETTING OUT INTO THE PUBLIC? >> WELL, IT'S KIND OF HARD FOR ME TO OPERATE INTO LANES, SO TO SPEAK. AS A DEFENSE ATTORNEY, I WOULD.

LEAN TOWARDS, YES, MORE, AT LEAST TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE WAS NO IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. I THINK WE ARE AT THAT PLACE. YES, WE COULD TALK ABOUT AN ONCOLOGIST CAN TO TALK ABOUT TWO WHITE COLLAR ATTORNEYS.

>> SORRY, BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY TELL US WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE. BUT EVEN MORE SECRECY IS NEEDED, ESPECIALLY AFTER ONE OF THEM COMING FORWARD AND SAYING, I DON'T WANT MY FAMILY BLOWING UP MY PHONE. THEN I SAY LEAN TO THAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT CASE THAN THE RUN OF THE MILL CASE THAT COMES OUT OF MANHATTAN OR ANY OF THE COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. >> WE WANT TO KNOW THE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE JUDGING THIS CASE BECAUSE WE.

WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S FAIR AND IMPARTIAL BOTH OF THE PROSECUTION AND, OF COURSE, FOR THE DEFENSE. SO I THINK WE'VE HIT THAT KIND OF MIDDLE GROUND. BUT IF MORE IS NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE JURORS FEEL SAFE, I WOULD LEAN TOWARDS.

SAYING, YES, MORE SECRECY. >> RIGHT. BUT THE PUBLIC THERE, AS YOU POINT OUT, IN A TRIAL LIKE THIS, IS QUITE NATURAL AND QUITE PROPER. GIVEN THE STAKES, ERIN, PROSECUTORS ARE RENEWING CALLS TO HOLD DONALD.

IN CONTEMPT NOW FOR NEW VIOLATIONS OF THE JUDGE'S GAG ORDER IN THIS CASE TO SPELL OUT HE CAN AND CANNOT SAY HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN THE CAMPAIGN AND WHAT HE'S FACING RIGHT NOW. AND HE IS ALLOWED TO TALK.

ABOUT HIS DEFENSE BROADLY. HE'S ALLOWED TO DENOUNCE THE PROSECUTION GENERALLY. HE CAN EVEN ATTACK THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHO BROUGHT THE CASE, MELVYN BRAGG. HE CAN GO AFTER THE JUDGE PERSONALLY.

BUT ACCORDING TO THE JUDGE'S ORDER, HE CANNOT ATTACK ANY FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE JUDGE OR THE PROSECUTOR CAN'T ATTACK THE LYING PROSECUTORS ON THE CASE OR ANY STAFF, AND HE CAN'T ATTACK WITNESSES AND TO PROSECUTORS HE POSTED SEVEN THINGS JUST SINCE MONDAY.

THAT WERE DISPARAGING OF MICHAEL COHEN, HIS FORMER FIXER, AND ONE OF THE KEY WITNESSES FOR THE PROSECUTION. AND SO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS ALREADY SOUGHT TO HOLD TRUMP IN. CONTEMPT IS A HEARING ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK.

AND THEY JUST SAID THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT TRUMP SHOULD BE FINED $1,000 FOR EACH OFFENDING POST. SO HE IS FACING REAL CONSEQUENCES THERE. BRIAN. JUDGE MERCHAN SET TO HOLD A HEARING NEXT WEEK ON THAT GAG.

ORDERS. ERIN IS SAYING SO FIRST, THAT SEEMS A LONG TIME. IF TRUMP IS OUT THERE VIOLATING THE GAG ORDER, PEOPLE ARE AT RISK. I SUPPOSE IN THE JUDGE'S THINKING, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT ALL.

THE VIOLATION ARE PILING UP. DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU OR THE OR DOES TRUMP NEED TIME TO GATHER HIS DEFENSE? IT MAKES SENSE TO ME IN A SENSE THAT THE JUDGE AND I THINK RIGHTFULLY IS LASER FOCUSED ON TRYING TO GET THIS JURY SEATED.

WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT. WE'VE MOVED LITERALLY SEVEN STEPS FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK. AND I THINK THE IMPORTANCE HERE ,MORE SO THAN ANYTHING ELSE, IS TO GET THAT JURY AND GET THIS TRIAL STARTED. THINK FOR THE JUDGE.

THE MINDSET IS I AGREE IN PART IS EVENTUALLY TRUMP'S GOING TO STOP, LIKE HE'S GOING TO STOP POSTING AND LEARN THAT. YES, INITIALLY IT WAS JUST ALLEGED VIOLATIONS. NOW IT'S SEVEN ALLEGED VIOLATIONS. I AM ASSUMING THAT NO ONE WANTS.

TO GET INTO THE DOZENS OF POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS BECAUSE OF THAT PRICE TAG WITH IT. AND I THINK THE JUDGE SAYING I WILL DEAL WITH IT WEEK. BUT AT THIS POINT, I DON'T THINK IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. DON'T THINK ANYTHING HAS BEEN SAID TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE.

WORRIED ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. IT'S REALLY I THINK THE JUDGE'S FOCUS ON IS GET THIS JURY AND GET THIS CASE STARTED. >> ABSOLUTELY. BUT A SEES ASSUMING AT SOME POINT DONALD TRUMP HAS GOT TO STOP, HAS HE NOT HAS HE NOT.

FAMILIAR WITH DONALD TRUMP? I MEAN, I THINK HE DOUBLES DOWN ON EVERYTHING. BUT WE'LL FIND OUT. BRIAN BUT MARK AARON KATERSKY ON THE TRUMP TRIAL, THANKS VERY MUCH. WE TURN NOW TO THE MIDDLE EAST. >> THE U.S. IS IMPOSING A NEW.

ROUND OF SANCTIONS, IRAN. THIS COMES AS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT LOOKS TO PUNISH TEHRAN FOR LAST WEEKEND'S MASSIVE ATTACK ON. ISRAEL AND TARGETS ENGINE MANUFACTURERS OF IRANIAN, WHICH WERE USED SO MUCH IN THAT ATTACK.

>> PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS THE SANCTIONS WILL HOLD IRAN ACCOUNTABLE AND HELP DESTABILIZE THAT COUNTRY'S MILITARY PROGRAMS. ISRAEL, MEANWHILE, SAYS IT'S STILL WEIGHING OWN RESPONSE TO THAT ATTACK, WHICH WAS MOSTLY THWARTED BY ISRAEL'S.

DEFENSES AS WELL AS US. >> HELP AND HELP FROM THE JORDANIANS AS WELL. WHY THE ISRAELIS WANTS TO MEET WITH SENIOR U.S. OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS A POTENTIAL MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH CITY IN, SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE SO MANY REFUGEES HAVE GONE.

MEANWHILE, UP ON CAPITOL HILL, HOUSE ARE MEETING TODAY TO DISCUSS A NEW POUR IN AID BILL FOR ISRAEL AND FOR UKRAINE, TOO. >> HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, HOWEVER, HAS DRAWN CRITICISM AFTER HE BUNDLED A BILL THAT WILL FORCE A SALE OR TOTAL.

BAN OF TIC TAC INTO THAT FOREIGN AID PACKAGE. A LOT GOING ON HERE. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN TEL ALEXIS JAY O'BRIEN HERE IN WASHINGTON. >> TOM, FIRST TO YOU THERE. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW.

ABOUT THESE NEW SANCTIONS AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR IMPACT CAN BE YET? TERRY? AND THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT THESE SANCTIONS WILL SPECIFICALLY TARGET IRAN'S PROGRAM. REMEMBER, IRAN USED ABOUT 170.

OF THOSE DRONES IN SATURDAY NIGHT'S ATTACK ON ISRAEL. YOU KNOW, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT THESE COULD THESE SANCTIONS COULD LIMIT THE FINANCIAL SOURCES THAT THOSE IRANIAN COMPANIES THAT MAKE THE DRONES WOULD HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSAL.

BUT LOOK, I'VE SEEN THESE IRANIAN MADE DRONES UP CLOSE. THE UKRAINIANS HAVE SHOWN ME THE REMNANTS OF THEM. I SAW ONE OF THEM THAT THEY'RE LIKE MINI, BASICALLY. AND WE WERE SEEING THE REMNANTS AND THEY'RE PACKED FULL OF COMPONENTS MADE BY WESTERN.

COMPANIES, INCLUDING BY AMERICAN COMPANIES THAT BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY BY RUSSIA IN THE WAR AGAINST UKRAINE. AND LOOK, YOU KNOW, THE WHITE HOUSE, WESTERN PARTNERS, UKRAINE HAS BEEN PUSHING THIS TO HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS ISSUE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

AND THEY HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO TRY AND LIMIT THAT DRONE PROGRAM. SO IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THESE SANCTIONS WILL HAVE A MASSIVE, MASSIVE IMPACT. >> YEAH, THEY'RE WELL PRACTICED NOW AFTER DECADES AT EVADING AMERICAN SANCTIONS,.

THEIR IMPACT. LET'S BRING YOU IN HERE ON WHAT'S GOING ON ON CAPITOL. LAWMAKERS MET TODAY TO DISCUSS THAT NEW FOREIGN AID PACKAGE FOR ISRAEL AND THAT'S CONTROVERSIAL ENOUGH WITH THE GOP, A MAJORITY OF WHICH WANT TO SUPPORT UKRAINE ANYMORE.

BUT TIED TO IT IS THIS BILL THAT WOULD BAN. TIKTOK HERE IN THE U.S. TEENAGERS, THE COUNTRY ARE SHOCKED. >> WHAT'S THE STRATEGY HERE? THERE'S A LOT TO NAVIGATE THAT. FIRSTLY, MIKE JOHNSON IS FENDING FOR HIS JOB BECAUSE.

AS YOU SAID THERE IS A LOT OF GOP OPPOSITION TO THIS PLAN, PARTICULARLY THE UKRAINE ELEMENT OF THIS. SO MIKE JOHNSON'S GOING TO NEED DEMOCRATS TO GET THIS OVER THE GOAL LINE, AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO GO OVER WELL WITH HARDLINE REPUBLICANS.

WHO HAVE ALREADY SAID, SOME OF THEM MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, THOMAS MASSIE AMONG THEM, THAT THEY BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR JOHNSON TO GO. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE DETAILS OF THIS AID PACKAGE NOW. SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON YOUR SCREEN ARE THE FIRST.

THREE BILLS OF THIS FOUR BILL PACKAGE. KEEP THAT IN MIND. THERE IS NOW A FOURTH BILL THAT'S ALSO BEING TIED INTO THIS. THAT IS THIS OF GRAB BAG OF GOP POLICY PRIORITIES AND. IN THAT FOURTH BILL IS THE TICK.

TOCK LEGISLATION. IT'S VERY SIMILAR LEGISLATION TO WHAT THE HOUSE ALREADY PASSED IN THAT WOULD TRY TO FORCE A SALE OF TICK TOCK FROM ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY OR IF THAT SALE DOESN'T OCCUR UNDER THIS LAW, IF IT BECOMES A TICK TOCK, WOULD THEN.

BE BANNED. THAT LEGISLATION IS NOW IN THIS FOURTH BILL AND MIKE JOHNSON SAYS HE'S GOING TO PACKAGE THESE TOGETHER AND, SEND IT ALL OVER TO THE SENATE AS ONE PRODUCT. SO IF CHUCK SCHUMER WANTS TO VOTE ON THAT ISRAEL AID OR.

THAT UKRAINE NEED, HE HAS TO ALSO HAVE A VOTE ON THIS TIKTOK UNLESS HE TRIES TO STRIP IT OUT, WHICH WOULD BE UNLIKELY BECAUSE THAT MEANS THE BILL THEN HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE HOUSE. ALL OF THAT TO SAY THIS BAN TIKTOK IS MOVING FASTER NOW.

THAN PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WOULD BECAUSE IT'S PACKAGED AMONGST THESE BROADER TERRY, AND IT GIVES IT A VERY REAL CHANCE OF BEING BROUGHT A VOTE IN THE SENATE AND PASS. >> AND I AS I SAY THAT A LOT OF TICK TOCK USES IN THE UNITED STATES TO BE SHOCKED.

BY THAT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN TEL AVIV. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING FROM THERE. >> JAY O'BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL. THANKS. >> IN PHILADELPHIA, MORE THAN A MEMBERS OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY ARE SET TO PUBLICLY ENDORSED.

PRESIDENT REELECTION. THIS COMES DESPITE ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR'S OWN INDEPENDENT RUN FOR OFFICE. >> THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF MY LIFETIME. WE'RE UP AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. SO WE REALLY NEED WE ELECT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THAT'S.

WHERE ALL OUR ENERGY HAS TO BE. >> BUT KERRY KENNEDY, THE YOUNGEST CHILD, I BELIEVE, OF SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY, THERE'S HIS OLDEST, ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. HE'S THE SON OF, THE ASSASSINATED LEADER AND NEPHEW OF FORMER.

PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY. PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THIS POLITICALLY FAMOUS FAMILY BEEN CRITICAL OF RFK JR'S CANDIDACY FROM THE BEGINNING. AND POLL WATCHERS SAY A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE WITH A POPULAR DEMOCRATIC LAST NAME. WELL THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL.

TO DRAW VOTERS AWAY FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN. FOR MORE. LET'S BRING IN OUR SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT LINDA WANG, COVERING THE CAMPAIGN HERE FOR US SELENA. >> HOW CRUCIAL IS THIS ENDORSEMENT FOR THE BIDEN.

CAMPAIGN? DOES IT MATTER IF ROBERT F KENNEDY'S RELATIVE ALL SUPPORT BIDEN? WHAT KIND OF A THREAT HAVE THEY SEND IN? >> KENNEDY? YEAH, TERRY, LOOK, THIS IS A BIG DEAL.

I MEAN, THE KENNEDY NAME IS A HUGE FAMOUS LAST NAME. AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS A REAL SHOW OF FORCE FROM THE FAMILY TO BACK PRESIDENT. NOW, RFK JR, AS YOU KNOW, IS A LONG SHOT CANDIDATE. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS ELECTION, THAT'S GOING TO BE.

RAZOR THIN. HE COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE HERE. AND DEMOCRATS, THEY ARE TAKING THIS THREAT SERIOUSLY. IN FACT, THE DNC HAS EVEN CREATED A TEAM SPECIFICALLY TO GO AFTER INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES WITH A FOCUS ON RFK.

AND THE DNC ME THAT THEIR GOAL IS TO HIGHLIGHT HIS EXTREME POSITIONS, HOW HIS CAMPAIGN IS BY CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND DISINFORMATION ABOUT VACCINES. THEY'RE ALSO HIGHLIGHTING WHO THEY BELIEVE IS REALLY BEHIND HIS CANDIDACY SAYING.

THAT ONE OF RFK JR'S KEY DONORS IS ALSO A TRUMP MEGADONOR. AND IN THIS ELECTION, TERRY, WHEN SO MANY VOTERS SAY THEY AREN'T HAPPY WITH EITHER OF THE CANDIDATES, THEY KNOW AN INDEPENDENT PLAYER LIKE RFK JR COULD BE A SERIOUS THREAT AND HIS FAMILY IS BACKING.

BIDEN CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THEY'RE WORRIED HE COULD BE A SPOILER. YOU HAVE 15 MEMBERS OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY. IT'S A BIG FAMILY IT'S A LOT MORE THAN 50. AND KENNEDY IS OUT THERE, BUT THEY'RE 15 WILL BE WITH.

PRESIDENT BIDEN AT THE CAMPAIGN EVENT. YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THAT GOING TO BE LIKE AND HOW IS THE ROBERT F. KENNEDY CAMPAIGN RESPONDING TO ALL THIS? >> YEAH. SO THIS IS A CAMPAIGN EVENT. WE'RE GOING TO HEAR.

KERRY KENNEDY, HIS SISTER, SPEAKING, AND SHE'S GOING TO ACTUALLY INTRODUCE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND SHE'S PREPARED IN HER REMARKS TO DIRECTLY GO AFTER TRUMP, BRING UP HER FATHER AS WELL. SO I JUST WANT TO READ YOU SOMETHING FROM HER PREPARED.

REMARKS SAYING I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW DONALD TRUMP'S OUTRAGEOUS LIES AND BEHAVIOR WOULD HAVE HORRIFIED MY FATHER, ROBERT F. KENNEDY, WHO PROUDLY SERVED AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, AND HONOR HIS PLEDGE TO UPHOLD LAW AND PROTECT THE COUNTRY.

DADDY STOOD FOR EQUAL JUSTICE, HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM FROM WANT AND FEAR. JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN DOES TODAY. >> NOW, AFTERWARDS, THE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE GOING TO BE MAKING PHONE CALLS, VOTERS KNOCKING ON DOORS.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO THIS CAMPAIGN. SO THIS IS REALLY A FULL EFFORT FROM THE FAMILY TO BACK BIDEN AND NOT BROTHER AND NOT THEIR RELATIVE RFK JR. AND WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT OUR KEY JUNIORS RESPONSE IS. HE PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING.

HERE ARE SOME OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS ARE GOING TO BE ENDORSING BIDEN TODAY. HE SAID I'M PLEASED THEY'RE POLITICALLY ACTIVE. IT'S A FAMILY TRADITION. WE ARE DIVIDED IN OUR OPINIONS BUT UNITED AND OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER.

>> CARRY ON. >> ALL RIGHT. FAMILY DRAMA, THEIR FAMOUS FAMILY ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. >> SELINA WANG AT THE WHITE HOUSE FOR US. THANKS FOR THAT. WELL, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE BRACING FOR NEW ROUND.

THEY'RE THE MOST MYSTERIOUS CREATURES ON EARTH. THEY'RE MASTERMINDS, SHAPESHIFTERS. THEY'RE JUST SO INCREDIBLY ALIEN. AND YET MORE LIKE US THAN WE EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED. WHAT MORE DO THEY HAVE TO TELL.

US? >> GLAD YOU'RE STREAMING WITH US. PROTESTS ARE UNDERWAY AT ACROSS THE COUNTRY OVER THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. >> AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST IS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK, WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE.

GATHERED FOLLOWING TESTIMONY. THE UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT, MANOS SHAFIK, BEFORE A HOUSE COMMITTEE OVER SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTI-SEMITISM. >> TRYING TO RECONCILE THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO WANTED TO PROTEST AND THE RIGHTS OF JEWISH STUDENTS TO BE.

IN AN ENVIRONMENT FREE DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT HAS BEEN A CENTRAL CHALLENGE ON OUR AND NUMEROUS OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> REGRETTABLY, THE EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH BROUGHT TO THE FORE AN UNDERCURRENT OF ANTISEMITISM THAT IS A MAJOR.

CHALLENGE OF MORE OR LESS A THIS IS MORGAN NORWOOD IS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WITH THE LATEST. SO MORGAN COLUMBIA IS EXPERIENCED ABOVE PROFILE HISTORY AND PRO-ISRAEL PROTESTS AND I GUESS ANTI IN BOTH DIRECTIONS TOO FOR SOME OF.

THOSE PROTESTERS. WHAT'S THE LATEST THERE? YEAH, JERRY, WE'RE SEEING PROTESTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS ISSUE. AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT BEHIND ME, THERE IS THIS GARBAGE BLOCKING THE VIEW HERE. BUT WE HAVE ROUGHLY A DOZEN.

DEMONSTRATORS HERE, MOST OF THEM PALESTINIAN, THAT ARE GATHERED THE GATES OF COLUMBIA. BUT WHAT YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY IS THE BARRICADES THAT AND ALSO THE NYPD PD OFFICERS THAT HAVE GATHERED WELL AND EXPENSIVE AND TRYING TO CONTAIN THE SITUATION HERE.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD THEM, CAN'T BE HEARD. YOU HEAR THEM BANGING THE POTS AS WELL. BUT OCCASIONALLY WE WILL SEE A U-HAUL DEMANDING THAT PRESIDENT SHOULD BE AS STEPPED DOWN. AND AGAIN, AS YOU POINTED OUT,.

THESE DEMONSTRATIONS COME AS SHE JUST TESTIFIED BEFORE LAWMAKERS AND YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TIMBRE HERE ON CAMPUS, THE TONE HERE ON CAMPUS. MANY STUDENTS HAD ACCUSED THE UNIVERSITY AND HER OF ALLOWING WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS A HOTBED.

OF ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS. BUT I WILL TELL YOU TERRY, AS THESE DEMONSTRATIONS CONTINUE, TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR STUDENTS AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THESE DEMONSTRATIONS BECAUSE WE OBTAINED A COPY OF A LETTER THAT WAS SENT OUT YESTERDAY.

BY THE UNIVERSITY TO ALL STUDENTS DEMANDS THAT THEY DISPERSE. NOW, WE'VE GOT TO DO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS IN TERMS OF DEMONSTRATIONS ON CAMPUS. YOU HAVE WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE GATES. INSIDE THE GATES, WE KNOW.

THAT THERE ARE TENTS SPRAWLED OUT ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY SOUTH LAWN, AND THAT'S WHAT THE UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN TRYING TO DISPERSE AS WELL. SO WITHIN THE PAST 15 MINUTES, ACTUALLY ACTUALLY LEARNED THAT REPRESENTATIVE OMAR EL ON “START HERE” WAS AMONG.

THE STUDENTS SUSPENDED FOR PROCESSING SHE POSTED THAT ON HER PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM. NOW, WE'VE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE UNIVERSITY TO CONFIRM THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION, RATHER, THAT THEY ARE SAYING.

THAT THEY'RE WORKING TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE STUDENTS INVOLVED IN WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS A DISRUPTION LEARNING. AND ON THE CRIMINAL SIDE, WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF ARRESTS FIVE SO FAR THAT DOES INCLUDE A JUVENILE FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO AN OFFICER WHO TOLD US THAT RIGHT HERE ON THE SCENE, THE OF MORE IF TENSIONS SILLY THINGS ESCALATE THE AFTERNOON. BUT, TERRY, WHAT WE'VE SEEN HERE ON COLUMBIA IS JUST A GLIMPSE INTO THE TENSE CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE.

HAPPENING ALL ACROSS COUNTRY AS THIS ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR CONTINUES. JERRY ABSOLUTELY. AND I PICK UP ON THAT BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE SEEN THIS THIS ISSUE AND THE CHALLENGES AND ADDRESSING IT ACROSS COLLEGE CAMPUSES.

AND NATIONALLY. SO GIVEN THE HORROR AND VICIOUSNESS OF THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK AND THE SUFFERING THAT THE PLIGHT OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA, YOU KNOW HOW OUR COLLEGES BALANCING THIS, I GUESS IN SOME INSTANCES IT'S WORKING AND IN.

SOME INSTANCES KNOW HAD REAL TROUBLE. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT'S A REALLY TOUGH BALANCE, RIGHT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS. THERE'S PASSION BEHIND MANY.

OF THESE DEMONSTRATIONS. BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO CONCERNS THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO BULLYING AND HARASSMENT. AND SO THAT'S A TOUGH POSITION THAT MANY UNIVERSITIES ARE FACING RIGHT NOW. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A PROTEST.

GET OUT OF HAND. THANKFULLY, WE HAVEN'T NECESSARILY SEE THAT HERE AT BUT THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION THAT, YOU KNOW, MANY UNIVERSITIES FACED WITH AND PASSIONATE ABOUT PROTECTING THE STUDENTS. BUT ALSO PROTECTING.

THEIR RIGHTS. AND TO WHAT MANY STUDENTS SAY IS FREE SPEECH BEING ABLE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THESE SITUATIONS AND THE CURRENT AND CURRENT INTERNATIONAL EVENTS. >> ABSOLUTELY. MORGAN NORWOOD AT COLUMBIA.

YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY? THE DAY THAT MY SON DIED. YOU'RE ASKED, WHY DO YOU THINK THIS ENDS? IN A GOOD WAY. INTERROGATION ON ABC. PART OF WHAT I'M TERRY MORAN. YOU'RE WATCHING ABC NEWS LIVE.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S CRIMINAL TRIAL IS CURRENTLY ON A LUNCH BREAK. AND WHILE THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG IN JURY SELECTION, WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES DURING THIS PROCESS. TODAY, ONLY JURORS HAVE BEEN SEATED SO FAR AFTER TWO WERE.

EXCUSE SAID EARLIER THIS MORNING, SEVEN ADDITIONAL JURORS ARE STILL NEEDED ALONG SIX MORE ALTERNATES. A REMINDER, DONALD TRUMP IS FACING MULTIPLE COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO TRY AND HIDE HIS ALLEGED WITH STAR STORMY DANIELS.

BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. >> THAT'S THE ISSUE AT THE HEART OF THIS CASE. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS TO BREAK ALL DOWN, ALONG WITH TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE CARTER. WHAT'S STICKING TO YOU TODAY.

ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THIS PROCESS OF PICKING THE JURORS? WELL, TERRY, I THINK FIRST THINGS FIRST IS THAT WE BEGAN THE DAY WITH SEVEN JURORS SEATED ON THIS JURY, AND NOW WE ONLY HAVE FIVE. WE KNOW THAT TWO JURORS, JUROR NUMBER TWO AND JUROR NUMBER.

FOUR. JUROR NUMBER TWO BEING THAT JUROR WHO SAID THAT AFTER SOME THOUGHT, SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD NO LONGER SERVE AND BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL. AND THEN JUROR NUMBER FOUR, WHO WAS DISMISSED AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY WAS DISHONEST SAT.

ON HIS JUROR QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT PREVIOUS INTERACTIONS WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE, FOR EXAMPLE. SO WE DON'T HAVE THOSE TWO ANYMORE. SO NOW AS THIS PROCESS GOES ON, LOOK, I THINK WE HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW MANY WE ULTIMATELY.

GET SEATED TODAY. BUT I THINK USUALLY HERE WHEN PICKING A JURY AND BRYAN WOULD KNOW BETTER THAN I DO ON THIS, THE POTENTIAL JURORS DON'T. THE CRIMINAL DEFENDANT. I CAN'T REALLY THINK OF ANYBODY IN THE WORLD WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHO DONALD TRUMP IS, AT LEAST.

AT THIS POINT. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GRAPPLING WITH AS THIS PROCESS GOES ON. BUT, LOOK, WE'LL WAIT AND SEE. WE'LL SEE IF WE HAVE ANY MORE BY THE END OF THE DAY. OF COURSE, THOSE FIRST SEVEN CAME PRETTY QUICKLY.

SO WHO KNOWS? BUT I THINK THAT THIS COULD SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. >> PART OF THIS A TRICKY PROCESS, AS CATHERINE POINTS OUT, AND THE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR JURORS INCLUDES THINGS LIKE.

WHETHER THEY'VE BEEN TO A POLITICAL RALLY FOR OR AGAINST TRUMP. I MEAN, HE WAS HE WAS THE CANDIDATE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR PRESIDENT. GOT WHATEVER, WHAT, 67 MILLION VOTES IS A DIFFICULTY IN EXTRICATING PEOPLE FROM.

NATIONAL POLITICS. DO YOU THINK SOMEBODY WHO WENT TO A TRUMP RALLY OR A RALLY AGAINST TRUMP IS AUTOMATICALLY INCAPABLE OF RENDERING A FAIR VERDICT IN THIS CASE? I WOULDN'T SAY THAT THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY, BUT IT DOES GIVE THEM LIGHT AND SOME.

INFORMATION AS TO WHERE THEY MAY STAND IN TERMS OF THEIR BIAS OR NOT. >> AND I WOULD SAY IN TERMS OF THESE QUESTIONS, THEY ARE PRETTY STANDARD. YES. KATHERINE'S RIGHT. I I'VE NEVER HAD A CLIENT WHERE.

POTENTIAL JURORS WHO KNEW THAT THAT MAN WHO I WAS REPRESENTING OR NEVER SEEN A CASE LIKE THIS TO THIS EXTENT. BUT THESE ARE PRETTY TYPICAL QUESTIONS HE WENT TO A RALLY FOR AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. WHAT KIND OF SOCIAL MEDIA OR.

NEWS DO YOU DIGEST AND WHERE? AND TELL YOU THAT MANY DEFENSE ATTORNEYS OFTEN HAVE SOMEONE IN THE BACK GOING THROUGH THE SOCIAL ON PROSPECTIVE JURORS TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE. BECAUSE THE END OF THE DAY,.

YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE WHETHER YOU'RE REPRESENTING TRUMP OR SOMEONE FAR LESS POPULAR OR INFAMOUS DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU FALL ON THAT SCALE, THAT EACH AND EVERY JUROR IS GETTING YOUR CLIENT A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TRIAL. SO YOU SOMETIMES DIG INTO.

THEIR BACKGROUND? >> ABSOLUTELY, AND RIGHTLY SO. THE MAN'S FREEDOM IS AT STAKE. HE DOES FACE, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT PENALTIES IF FOUND GUILTY. GATHER EVERY DAY THAT DONALD TRUMP IS IN COURT. HE'S NOT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

HAVE YOU GOT ANY SENSE AT THIS POINT WHERE THE VOTERS ARE NOTICING THIS OR WHAT IMPACT TRIAL IS HAVING AT THIS POINT ON THE CAMPAIGN? SO NOT SURE WHAT THE POLLS AT THE END OF THE DAY WILL ULTIMATELY SAY ABOUT THIS. I KNOW THAT WE'VE TRUMP IN.

COURT MANY TIMES. HE HASN'T BEEN THERE FOR 6 TO 8 WEEKS LIKE HE WILL BE FOR THIS TRIAL. BUT I THINK WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IN TRUMP SURELY HOPES THAT HIS VOTERS AND SUPPORTERS ,THIS IS WE'RE SEEING ESSENTIALLY THIS DIFFERENCE.

BETWEEN, TRUMP'S POLITICAL STRATEGY AND HIS LEGAL STRATEGY. TERRY, AS YOU KNOW TRUMP'S LEGAL STRATEGY, THE WHOLE TIME HAS BEEN TO SLOW THINGS DOWN TO, GUM UP THE PROCESS, IF YOU WILL, NOT JUST HERE BUT IN OTHER DISTRICTS AS WELL.

POLITICALLY. TRUMP KEEPS SAYING THAT HE'S UPSET THAT HE HAS TO BE SITTING IN COURT. HE WANTS TO BE OUT ON THE TRAIL. HE WANTS THIS TO SPEED UP. AT THE SAME TIME, HE'S ALSO VIEWING OF THESE THINGS AS ONE.

AND THE SAME. SO HE CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. HE DOES VIEW THE COURTROOM SOMETIMES AS A CAMPAIGN STUMP SPEECH WHEN HE COMES TO THAT CAMERA. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, DO THE VOTERS NOTICE IN POLLS? I'M NOT SURE.

BUT TRUMP ULTIMATELY WANTS HIS SUPPORTERS NOTICE THAT HE'S SITTING THERE IN A COURTROOM. OF COURSE, TRUMP IS SAYING THAT THIS WASN'T HIS FAULT. IT'S JOE BIDEN'S FAULT. THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT HE WANTS TO SEND. NOT NECESSARILY TRUE, BUT ALL.

OF THIS IS BLENDING TOGETHER IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS. >> SURE, HE'S MADE HE'S MADE THESE PROSECUTIONS PROSECUTIONS ,IN HIS WORDS, THAT HE HAS TURNED INTO HIS CAMPAIGN. >> BRIAN, YOU GUYS ARE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS TODAY AND THIS IT DOES SEEM LIKE.

A LOT OF JURORS PROSPECTIVE JURORS IN THE SECOND GROUP HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, REJECTED BY THE LAW, BY THE LAWYERS TELL YOU, IS THAT JUST BASICALLY THE ODDS IS BASICALLY THE ODDS. >> I'LL PUT IT THIS WAY. NO TWO GROUPS, POTENTIAL JURORS OR PROSPECTIVE JURORS ARE THE.

SAME. YOU CAN GET A GROUP OF 100 PEOPLE AND FIND 12 GOOD JURORS THAT CAN SIT AND LISTEN THIS TYPE OF TRIAL. YOU CAN GO THROUGH 12 GROUPS OF PROSPECTIVE JURORS, SORRY, AND FIND NO ONE. >> IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO'S.

THAT GROUP INDIVIDUALLY. I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU IF YOU FIND AN X AMOUNT IN ONE GROUP AND ANOTHER AMOUNT ANOTHER, THAT ONLY TELLS YOU JUST THE ODDS ARE IN A NO ONE'S FAVOR, SO TO SPEAK, TOWARDS GETTING A JURY. THE HOPE IS THAT AS WE.

GO THROUGH GROUP AFTER GROUP, AFTER GROUP, WE ARE GAINING MORE PROSPECTIVE JURORS THAN WE ARE LOSING. ALL RIGHT. WELL, STILL MORE AHEAD KATHERINE FAULDERS BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANKS VERY MUCH.

WE TURN NOW THE MIDDLE EAST. THE U.S. IS IMPOSING A NEW ROUND OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN. THIS COMES AS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT LOOKS TO PUNISH TEHRAN FOR LAST WEEKEND'S MASSIVE ATTACK ON ISRAEL. TARGETS ENGINE MANUFACTURERS OF IRANIAN DRONES, WHICH WERE.

USED SO MUCH IN THAT ATTACK. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS THE SANCTIONS WILL IRAN ACCOUNTABLE AND HELP DESTABILIZE THAT COUNTRY'S MILITARY. ISRAEL, MEANWHILE, SAYS IT'S STILL WEIGHING ITS OWN RESPONSE TO THAT ATTACK, WHICH.

WAS MOSTLY THWARTED BY ISRAEL'S DEFENSES, AS WELL AS U.S. HELP AND HELP FROM THE JORDANIANS AS WELL. WELL, ISRAEL WANTS TO MEET WITH SENIOR U.S. OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH, A CITY IN SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE SO MANY.

REFUGEES GONE. MEANWHILE, UP ON CAPITOL HILL, HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE MEETING TODAY TO DISCUSS A NEW FOREIGN AID BILL FOR ISRAEL AND FOR UKRAINE. TWO HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, HOWEVER, HAS DRAWN CRITICISM ACTUALLY BUNDLED A BILL.

THAT WILL FORCE A SALE OR TOTAL BAN OF TICK TOCK INTO THAT FOREIGN AID PACKAGE. SO A LOT GOING ON HERE. LET'S BRING FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN TEL AVIV AND JAY O'BRIEN HERE IN WASHINGTON. TOM, FIRST TO YOU.

WHAT MORE DO WE ABOUT THESE NEW SANCTIONS AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR IMPACT CAN BE? >> YES, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT SANCTIONS WILL SPECIFICALLY TARGET IRAN'S DRONE PROGRAM. REMEMBER, IRAN USED ABOUT 170 OF THOSE DRONES IN SATURDAY.

NIGHT'S ATTACK ON ISRAEL. YOU KNOW, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT THESE COULD BE COULD LIMIT THE FINANCIAL SOURCES, THAT THOSE IRANIAN COMPANIES THAT MAKE THE DRONES WOULD HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSAL. LOOK, I'VE SEEN THESE IRANIAN MADE DRONES UP CLOSE.

THE UKRAINIANS HAVE SHOWN ME REMNANTS OF THEM. I SAW ONE OF THEM. THEY'RE LIKE MINI AIRCRAFT, BASICALLY AND WE'VE SEEN THE REMNANTS AND THEY'RE PACKED FULL OF COMPONENTS MADE BY WESTERN COMPANIES, INCLUDING BY AMERICAN COMPANIES, TOO.

THEY'VE BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY, RUSSIA, IN THE WAR AGAINST UKRAINE. AND LOOK, YOU KNOW, THE WHITE HOUSE, WESTERN PARTNERS, UKRAINE HAS BEEN PUSHING FOR THIS, TO HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT ISSUE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. AND THEY HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A.

SOLUTION YET TO AND LIMIT THAT DRONE PROGRAM. SO IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THESE NEW SANCTIONS WILL HAVE A MASSIVE, MASSIVE IMPACT. YEAH, THEY'RE WELL PRACTICED AFTER DECADES AT EVADING AMERICAN SANCTIONS. THEIR IMPACT JAKE.

LET'S BRING YOU IN HERE ON WHAT'S GOING ON ON CAPITOL HOUSE LAWMAKERS MET TODAY TO DISCUSS THAT NEW FOREIGN AID PACKAGE FOR ISRAEL. UKRAINE THAT'S CONTROVERSIAL ENOUGH WITH THE GOP. A MAJORITY WHICH DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT UKRAINE ANYMORE.

BUT TIED TO IT IS THIS BILL THAT WOULD BAN TIKTOK. HERE IN THE U.S., TEENAGERS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE SHOCKED. WHAT'S THE STRATEGY HERE? THERE'S A LOT TO NAVIGATE IN THAT. FIRSTLY, MIKE JOHNSON IS FENDING FOR HIS JOB BECAUSE.

AS YOU SAID, THERE IS A LOT OF GOP OPPOSITION TO THIS PLAN, PARTICULARLY THE UKRAINE ELEMENT OF THIS. SO MIKE JOHNSON'S GOING TO NEED DEMOCRATS TO GET THIS OVER THE GOAL LINE, AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO GO OVER WELL WITH HARDLINE, WHO HAVE ALREADY.

SAID, SOME OF THEM MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, THOMAS MASSIE AMONG THEM, THAT THEY BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR JOHNSON TO GO. YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE DETAILS OF THIS AID PACKAGE NOW. SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON YOUR SCREEN ARE THE FIRST THREE BILLS OF THIS FOUR BILL.

PACKAGE. KEEP THAT IN MIND. THERE IS NOW A FOURTH BILL THAT'S ALSO BEING TIED INTO THIS. THAT IS THIS KIND OF GRAB BAG OF GOP POLICY PRIORITIES. AND IN THAT FOURTH BILL IS THE TICK TOCK LEGISLATION, VERY.

SIMILAR LEGISLATION TO WHAT THE HOUSE ALREADY PASSED IN MARCH THAT WOULD TRY TO FORCE A SALE OF TICK TOCK FROM ITS CHINESE PARENT COMPANY ,OR IF THAT SALE DOESN'T OCCUR UNDER THIS LAW, IF IT BECOMES LAW. TIKTOK WOULD THEN BE BANNED.

THAT LEGISLATION IS NOW IN THIS FOURTH BILL AND MIKE JOHNSON SAYS HE'S GOT PACKAGE THESE TOGETHER AND SEND IT OVER TO THE SENATE AS ONE PRODUCT. SO IF CHUCK SCHUMER WANTS TO VOTE ON THAT ISRAEL AID OR THAT UKRAINE NAME, HE HAS TO ALSO HAVE A VOTE ON THIS.

TIKTOK LEGISLATION UNLESS HE TRIES TO STRIP IT OUT, WHICH WOULD BE UNLIKELY BECAUSE THAT MEANS THE BILL WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE HOUSE. ALL OF THAT TO SAY THIS BAN ON TICK TOCK IS MOVING FASTER NOW THAN PEOPLE THOUGHT WOULD BECAUSE IT'S PACKAGED AMONGST.

THESE BROADER ISSUES, TERRY, AND IT GIVES IT A VERY REAL CHANCE OF BEING BROUGHT TO VOTE IN THE SENATE AND PASS. >> AND I THINK AS I SAY THAT A LOT OF TICK TOCK USED IN THE UNITED STATES TO BE SHOCKED BY THAT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN TEL AVIV.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING FROM THERE. JAY O'BRIEN ON CAPITOL. >> THANKS. >> IN PHILADELPHIA, MORE THAN A DOZEN OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY ARE SET TO PUBLICLY ENDORSE PRESIDENT BIDEN'S BID. THIS COMES DESPITE.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR'S OWN INDEPENDENT RUN FOR OFFICE. >> THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF MY LIFETIME. WE'RE UP AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. SO WE REALLY WE WE MUST ELECT PRESIDENT. >> AND THAT'S WHERE ALL OUR ENERGY HAS TO BE.

>> BUT KERRY KENNEDY, THE YOUNGEST CHILD, I BELIEVE, OF SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY, THERE'S HIS OLDEST, ROBERT F JR. HE'S THE SON OF OF THE LEADER AND NEPHEW OF FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY. PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THIS.

POLITICALLY FAMOUS FAMILY HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OF RFK JR'S CANDIDACY FROM THE BEGINNING. THE POLL WATCHERS SAY A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE WITH A POPULAR DEMOCRATIC LAST NAME, WELL, THAT THE POTENTIAL TO DRAW VOTERS AWAY FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR MORE.

LET'S BRING IN OUR SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, LINDA WANG, COVERING THE CAMPAIGN FOR US SELENA. HOW CRUCIAL IS THIS ENDORSEMENT FOR THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN? DOES IT MATTER IF ROBERT, IF KENNEDY'S RELATIVES ALL SUPPORT BIDEN?.

WHAT KIND OF A THREAT ARE THEY SAYING? BIDEN, KENNEDY? YEAH, TERRY, LOOK, THIS IS A BIG DEAL. I MEAN, THE KENNEDY NAME IS A HUGE FAMOUS LAST. AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS A REAL SHOW OF FORCE FROM THE FAMILY.

TO BACK PRESIDENT BIDEN. NOW, RFK JR. AS YOU KNOW, IT WAS A LONG SHOT CANDIDATE. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS ELECTION, THAT'S GOING TO BE RAZOR THIN. HE COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE HERE.

AND DEMOCRATS, THEY ARE TAKING THREAT SERIOUSLY. IN FACT, THE DNC HAS EVEN CREATED A TEAM SPECIFICALLY TO GO AFTER INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES WITH A FOCUS ON. RFK AND THE DNC TELLS ME THAT THEIR GOAL IS TO HIGHLIGHT HIS EXTREME POSITIONS, HOW HIS.

CAMPAIGN IS DRIVEN BY CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND DISINFORMATION ABOUT VACCINES. THEY'RE ALSO HIGHLIGHTING WHO THEY BELIEVE REALLY BEHIND HIS CANDIDACY, SAYING THAT ONE OF RFK JR'S KEY DONORS IS ALSO A TRUMP MEGADONOR.

AND IN THIS ELECTION, TERRY, WHEN SO MANY VOTERS SAY THEY AREN'T HAPPY WITH EITHER OF THE CANDIDATES, THEY KNOW AN INDEPENDENT PLAYER LIKE RFK JR. COULD BE A SERIOUS THREAT. AND HIS FAMILY IS BACKING BEHIND IT AND CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THEY'RE WORRIED HE COULD.

BE A SPOILER. YOU HAVE 15 MEMBERS OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY. THAT'S A BIG FAMILY. A LOT MORE THAN 15. KENNEDY IS OUT THERE, BUT THEY'RE 15 WILL BE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN AT THE CAMPAIGN EVENT.

YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THAT GOING TO BE LIKE AND HOW THE ROBERT F KENNEDY CAMPAIGN RESPONDING TO ALL THIS? YEAH, SO THIS IS A CAMPAIGN EVENT. WE'RE GOING TO HEAR KERRY KENNEDY SISTER SPEAKING AND SHE'S GOING TO ACTUALLY.

INTRODUCE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND SHE'S PREPARED IN HER REMARKS TO DIRECTLY GO AFTER TRUMP AND BRING UP HER FATHER AS WELL. SO I JUST WANT TO READ YOU SOMETHING FROM HER PREPARED ,SAYING I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW DONALD TRUMP'S OUTRAGEOUS.

LIES AND BEHAVIOR WOULD HAVE HORRIFIED MY FATHER, ROBERT F. KENNEDY, WHO PROUDLY SERVED AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES AND HONORED HIS PLEDGE TO UPHOLD THE LAW AND PROTECT THE COUNTRY. DADDY STOOD FOR EQUAL JUSTICE,.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND, FREEDOM FROM WANT AND FEAR. JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN DOES. NOW, AFTERWARDS, THE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE GOING TO BE MAKING PHONE CALLS TO VOTERS KNOCKING ON DOORS. THAT'S ACCORDING TO THIS CAMPAIGN.

SO THIS IS REALLY A FULL EFFORT FROM THE FAMILY TO THAT BIDEN AND NOT THEIR BROTHER AND NOT THEIR RELATIVE, RFK JR. AND WHEN IT COMES, WHAT JOE'S RESPONSE IS, HE PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING HERE ARE SOME OF THIS FAMILY MEMBERS ARE GOING TO BE ENDORSING.

BIDEN TODAY. HE SAID, I'M PLEASED THEY'RE POLITICALLY ACTIVE. IT'S A FAMILY TRADITION. WE ARE DIVIDED IN OUR OPINIONS ,BUT UNITED IN OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER, GERRI. >> ALL RIGHT. FAMILY DRAMA, THEIR FAMOUS.

FAMILY DRAMA ON, THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL SLATE OF WAITING AT THE WHITE HOUSE FOR US. THANKS FOR THAT. WELL, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE BRACING FOR A NEW ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS. PARTS OF OHIO ARE CLEANING UP TODAY AFTER POSSIBLE TORNADOES.

,STRONG WINDS RAVAGED PARTS OF THAT STATE. YOU CAN SEE HERE MANY HOMES, NEIGHBORHOODS JUST REDUCED TO RUINS THERE. THE POWERFUL STORMS ARE ALSO BRINGING DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL AND FLASH FLOODING. AND IT'S NOT OVER YET.

METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING ALL OF IT FOR US. MELISSA, TIME IT OUT FOR US. >> WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? WELL, TERRY, TORNADO SEASON REALLY STARTING OFF WITH A BANG HERE THREE DAYS IN A ROW OF TORNADO REPORTS. ALREADY 24 CONFIRMED FROM THIS.

SYSTEM. NOT JUST TORNADOES, BUT DAMAGING WINDS AS WELL. 70 MILE PER HOUR GUSTS CAUSING ,DAMAGE ACROSS PARTS OF MICHIGAN. THIS WAS ALL IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. BUT LOOK AT LAST 72 HOURS,.

YOU COULD SEE THAT SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE HEARTLAND, THE GREAT LAKES, INTO THE MID ATLANTIC YESTERDAY. OVER 90 REPORTS OF HAIL, OVER 220 REPORTS OF WIND AND, OF COURSE, THOSE 24 CONFIRMED TORNADOES. BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET.

WE HAVE A BRAND NEW SYSTEM TO TALK ABOUT NOW, BRINGING MORE SEVERE WEATHER. SOME OF THE SAME AREAS THAT JUST GOT HIT WITH THE FIRST SYSTEM AND SO ANYONE FROM TEXAS UP TO INDIANA. 30 MILLION AMERICANS IN THIS NEW SEVERE THREAT.

THIS IS TONIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE HIGHEST TORNADO THREAT HERE IN PARTS OF THE MIDWEST, ST. LOUIS TO PADUCAH, KENTUCKY UP THROUGH LOUISVILLE. THAT'S WHERE YOU COULD SEE TORNADOES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

TERRY. >> SO REALLY JUST A WHOLE WEEK OF SEVERE WEATHER WE'VE BEEN TRACKING. YEAH. SO BUCKLE UP AND STAY SAFE. MELISSA GRIFFIN, THANKS VERY MUCH. >> WELL, COMING UP,.

PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS GATHER AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK CITY. THEIR DEMANDS AND WHAT THE SCHOOL IS SAYING NOW WHEN WE RETURN. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES OR PLAY VIOLENT.

VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO COLLECTED THEIR SON, IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP THAT BOUGHT HIM A GUN. THE FIRST PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES AGAINST.

THE PARENTS OF THE SHOOTER AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL WHO KILLED FOUR STUDENTS AND WOUNDED OTHERS. THERE'S A MYTH THAT THE SHOOTER SNAPS. IT'S JUST NOT TRUE. THERE ARE ALL THESE SIGNS. >> HE WAS CRYING FOR HELP.

AND BEING IGNORED. HAD PICTURES OF A TARGET ON HIS BEDROOM WALL. SHELL CASINGS ON HIS NIGHTSTAND. THAT VERY TOXIC, TURBULENT. THOSE PEOPLE ARE NIKES LENGTH. THEY WAS JUST CRAZY. THE SEXTING AND THE REALLY.

TERRIBLE THINGS. THE VIDEO OF THEIR ACT. THEY PURCHASED THAT GUN FOR HIM WITH HIS MONEY AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT. >> WE'RE BEING TOLD BY A SCHOOL COUNSELOR THAT HE THINKS THEIR SON'S GOING TO KILL HIMSELF AND THEY KNEW NOTHING.

AS SOON AS I HEARD THEY WERE CALLED TO THE SCHOOL THAT DAY, THE MESSAGES ABOUT ALLAH, WELL, DON'T GET CAUGHT. THOSE WERE VERY VERY CONCERNING TO ME. THAT'S THE MOMENT THAT NO JURY IS GOING TO THINK, WELL, HAVEN'T WE ALL BEEN THERE?.

HERE'S WHAT IT IS. THEY GOT IT. THEY GOT SHOTS WITHOUT HAVING THAT, THERE WAS NO SHOT. YOU'RE A HERO. SCHOOL SHOOTERS AREN'T PUTTING THEIR NAME IN ITS NAME OVER TIME. YOU DON'T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM.

THAT. YOU JUST DON'T. THAT'S A CRIMINAL ACT. SINS OF THE PARENTS, THE CRUMBLING TRIALS OF LOVE IS NOT HERE. IT'S JUST BEING IGNORED THAT ONLY HULU. YOU'RE WATCHING AMERICA'S.

NUMBER ONE STREAMS. ABC NEWS LIVE. BREAKING NEWS, EXCLUSIVES, LIVE REPORTING. >> THE GLOBE KEEPS STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE LIVE. >> GLAD STREAMING WITH US. PROTESTS ARE UNDERWAY AT COLLEGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

OVER THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST IS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED. PRO-PALESTINIAN ARE DEMANDING THAT THAT UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES CUT ALL FUNDING TIES WITH WEAPONS.

MANUFACTURERS. >> THAT'S SUPPLY ISRAEL. DOZENS OF PRO-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATORS HAVE GATHERED FOLLOWING TESTIMONY FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT. MOST SHAFIK, BEFORE A HOUSE COMMITTEE OVER THE SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTI-SEMITISM.

>> TRYING TO RECONCILE THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS, THOSE WHO WANTED TO PROTEST AND THE RIGHTS OF JEWISH TO BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT FREE OF DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT HAS BEEN THE CENTRAL CHALLENGE ON OUR CAMPUS AND NUMEROUS OTHERS.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY. REGRETTABLY, THE EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH BROUGHT TO THE FORE AN UNDERCURRENT OF ANTI-SEMITIC THEM. >> THAT IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THIS. MORGAN NORWOOD IS AT UNIVERSITY WITH THE LATEST ON MORGAN.

COLUMBIA'S EXPERIENCE ABOUT PRO-PALESTINIAN AND PRO-ISRAEL PROTESTS AND I GUESS ANTI IN BOTH DIRECTIONS TO IT FOR SOME OF THOSE PROTESTERS. >> WHAT'S THE LATEST THERE? YEAH, VERY WE'RE SEEING PROTESTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS,.

BOTH SIDES OF THIS ISSUE, AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT BEHIND ME. THERE IS THIS GARBAGE TRUCK BLOCKING THE VIEW HERE, BUT WE HAVE ROUGHLY A DOZEN DEMONSTRATORS HERE, MOST OF THEM PRO-PALESTINIAN, THAT ARE GATHERED OUTSIDE THE GATES OF COLUMBIA.

BUT WHAT YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY IS THE BARRICADES SET AND ALSO THE NYPD PD OFFICERS THAT HAVE GATHERED AS WELL, AND EXTENSIVE AND TRYING TO CONTAIN THE SITUATION HERE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD THEM CHANTS. WE'VE HEARD YOU HEAR THEM.

BANGING THE POTS AS WELL. BUT OCCASIONALLY WE WILL SEE A U-HAUL DEMANDING THAT UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SHAFIK STEP DOWN. AND AGAIN, AS YOU'VE POINTED OUT, THESE DEMONSTRATIONS COME AS SHE JUST TESTIFIED BEFORE LAWMAKERS, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE.

HAMMER HERE ON CAMPUS, THE TONE HERE ON CAMPUS. MANY STUDENTS HAD ACCUSED THE UNIVERSITY AND HER OF ALLOWING WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS A HOTBED OF ANTI ON CAMPUS. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, TERRY, AS THESE DEMONSTRATIONS CONTINUE, THE TIME IS RUNNING.

OUT FOR STUDENTS AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THESE DEMONSTRATIONS. WE OBTAINED A COPY OF A LETTER THAT WAS SENT OUT YESTERDAY BY THE UNIVERSITY TO ALL STUDENTS DEMANDING THAT THEY DISPERSE. NOW, WE'VE GOT DO DIFFERENT.

SITUATIONS IN TERMS OF DEMONSTRATIONS, CAMPUS. YOU HAVE WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE GATES. WITHIN INSIDE OF THE GATES, WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE TENTS BROUGHT OUT ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY SOUTH LAWN AND THAT'S WHAT THE UNIVERSITY.

HAS BEEN TRYING TO DISPERSE AS SO WITHIN THE PAST 15 MINUTES ACTUALLY ACTUALLY LEARNED REPRESENTATIVE OMAR EL ON “START HERE” WAS AMONG THE STUDENTS SUSPENDED FOR PROCESSING. SHE POSTED THAT ON HER PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM.

NOW, WE'VE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE UNIVERSITY TO CONFIRM THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT THEY'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE WORKING TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE STUDENTS INVOLVED, WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS A DISRUPTION TO LEARNING.

AND ON THE SIDE, WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF ARRESTS, FIVE SO FAR. THAT DOES INCLUDE A JUVENILE FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT. THAT'S ACCORDING TO AN OFFICER TOLD US THAT RIGHT HERE ON THE SCENE, THE POSSIBILITY OF MORE TENSIONS OR THINGS.

ESCALATE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. TERRY, WHAT WE'VE SEEN HERE ON COLUMBIA IS THAT THE GLIMPSE INTO, THE TENSE CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THIS ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR CONTINUES JERRY.

ABSOLUTELY. PICK UP ON THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SEEN THIS THIS ISSUE AND THE CHALLENGES ADDRESSING IT ACROSS COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND NATIONALLY. SO GIVEN THE HORROR AND VICIOUSNESS OF THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK AND THE SUFFERING.

THAT THE PLIGHT OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA. HOW ARE COLLEGES BALANCING THIS? I GUESS IN SOME INSTANCES IT'S WORKING. >> AND IN SOME INSTANCES YOU HAD A REAL TROUBLE. YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT'S A REALLY.

TOUGH BALANCE, RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS. THERE'S PASSION BEHIND MANY OF THESE DEMONSTRATIONS, BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO CONCERNS THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO BULLYING AND HARASSMENT.

AND SO THAT'S A TOUGH POSITION THAT MANY UNIVERSITIES ARE FACING RIGHT NOW. AND OBVIOUSLY A PROTEST GET OUT OF HAND. THANKFULLY, WE HAVEN'T NECESSARILY SEE THAT HERE AT COLUMBIA. BUT THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION.

THAT, YOU KNOW, MANY UNIVERSITIES FACED WITH AND TASKED WITH PROTECTING THE STUDENTS WITH AND ALSO PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS AND TO WHAT MANY STUDENTS SAY IS FREE SPEECH, BEING ABLE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THESE SITUATIONS AND THE KIND OF CURRENT INTERNATIONAL.

STREAMING 24/7 STRING TO YOU FOR FREE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ABC NEWS LIVE AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS REPORTING FROM THE DEVASTATING MUDSLIDES HERE IN LOS ANGELES. I'M JACLYN LEE. WHEREVER THE STORY IS,.

WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU'RE STREAMING. ABC NEWS RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE, DONALD TRUMP IS BACK IN A NEW YORK CITY COURTROOM TODAY AS JURY CONTINUES IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. WE'VE GOT THE LATEST FROM AS DOZENS OF JURORS.

ARE EXCUSED, INCLUDING ONE WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN SWORN IN. PLUS, PROTESTERS OUT IN FORCE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN, NEW YORK CITY, AS FRUSTRATION GROWS OVER THAT SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTI-SEMITISM. WE'RE LIVE ON CAMPUS THERE WITH A CLOSER LOOK.

AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE BRACING FOR A NEW ROUND OF STORMS AFTER DOZENS OF TORNADOES WERE REPORTED ACROSS MULTIPLE STATES. WE'VE GOT FORECAST NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE. I ALL I'M TERRY MORAN. ON OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR,.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD CRIMINAL TRIAL IS CURRENTLY ON A LUNCH BREAK. WELL, THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG IN THAT CASE. WE'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES DURING JURY SELECTION TODAY. ONLY FIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN SEATED SO FAR AFTER TWO WERE.

EXCUSED EARLIER MORNING. SEVEN ADDITIONAL JURORS ARE STILL NEEDED, ALONG WITH SIX ALTERNATES FOR THIS TRIAL. A REMINDER, DONALD TRUMP FACING MULTIPLE COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO TRY TO HIDE HIS ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH STAR.

STORMY DANIELS BEFORE 2016 ELECTION. THAT'S WHAT THIS CASE IS ABOUT. WE'VE GOT COVERAGE LEADING US OFF. ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN IS RIGHT, THE COURTHOUSE IN MANHATTAN, JOINED BY EXECUTIVE EDITOR,.

OUR PRODUCER, JOHN AND ANCHOR, SHADOW ATTORNEY AND FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR. YOU'RE PART OF JUSTICE AND SENIOR WRITER FROM POLITICO NOW. SO WELCOME TO ALL. JOHN, LET ME BEGIN WITH YOU. PROSECUTORS RENEWING CALLS TO.

HOLD DONALD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT FOR VIOLATION OF THE JUDGE'S ORDER IN THIS CASE. WHAT'S TRUMP DONE AND WHAT DO WE KNOW? WELL, SO, TERRY, WE BEGAN THE WEEK WITH POTENTIALLY THREE VIOLATIONS OF THIS GAG ORDER.

AND PROSECUTORS THIS MORNING AS WE GOT UNDERWAY, LOWER MANHATTAN SAID SEVEN MORE TIMES, DONALD TRUMP HAS, IN THEIR OPINION, VIOLATED THE GAG ORDER FROM JUDGE MERCHAN. >> SO THAT WOULD BRING THE UP TO TEN.

AND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, TERRY, THAT YET AGAIN, THESE COMMENTS DONALD TRUMP MADE ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM TRUTHS, SOCIAL ATTACKING AND COMMENTING ABOUT POTENTIAL WITNESSES IN THIS CASE. AND LOOK, WHAT THE PROSECUTORS HAVE INDICATED IS THAT FOR.

THE FIRST THREE VIOLATIONS IN THEIR OPINION, THEY CITED EARLIER THIS WEEK THAT EACH ONE SHOULD COME WITH A $1,000 FINE. SO THAT IS TO WITHHOLD FOR ALL TEN. >> THAT COULD MEAN DONALD TRUMP IS LOOKING AT $10,000.

FINE. LUCKILY, I CAN DO MATH STORIES . THERE YOU GO. BUT THE REALITY IS WE DON'T KNOW YET WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. JUDGE HAS ALREADY SCHEDULED A SEPARATE HEARING ON THIS FOR.

NEXT TUESDAY IN, NEW YORK, OF COURSE, THAT ALL COMPLETES THE SCHEDULE, IS WAITING TO SEE AS THIS JURY GETS IMPANELED AND THEN THE THING GETS UNDER WAY FOR HOPEFULLY SOMETIME NEXT WEEK, ACCORDING TO JUDGE MERSHON. >> BUT I DO THINK, THOUGH,.

WHAT REALITY IS, IS THAT DONALD TRUMP STILL AND THE FACT THAT THESE THAT WERE NEWS SEVEN, IF YOU WILL, WERE ALLEGEDLY CONDUCTED BY DONALD TRUMP AFTER THE PROCEEDINGS ON MONDAY, IT JUST SHOWS THAT DONALD TRUMP IS REALLY WALKING A FINE LINE.

PROSECUTORS ARE WATCHING IT VERY, VERY CLOSELY, AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HOLD ANY FIRE TERRY. >> YEAH, IT'S AN IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THIS CASE. AND OLIVIA, THIS JURY SELECTION PROCESS, IT'S SO IT'S SO HUMAN AS SELECTION IS IN EVERY CASE.

THESE ARE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, COMING TO SHOW UP. DO THEIR DUTY FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND I GUESS YOU SPOKE TO ONE OF THE PROSPECTIVE JURORS AND THIS IS A PERSON WHO IS NOT GOING TO BE ON THE TRIAL, RIGHT?.

TELL US ABOUT THAT. I DID. TERRY SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY VOLUNTARILY RAISED THEIR HAND IN NOT A MAIN QUESTION WHEN THEY SAY EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CASE NOW, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AND THIS.

PERSON RAISED THEIR HAND AND SAID, NO, I CANNOT. WHY? BECAUSE HE DOES SATIRE ONLINE. BUT WHEN I SPOKE WITH HIM, IT WAS JUST AFTER JUROR NUMBER TWO TOOK HERSELF OUT OF THE MIX BECAUSE SHE THAT SHE HAD CONCERNS ABOUT HER IDENTITY.

AND I ASKED HIM, I SAID, WOULD YOU HAVE WANTED TO BE ON THIS JURY. WILL YOU FELT COMFORTABLE? HE SAID, ABSOLUTELY. IT WASN'T SOMETHING YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS. HE ACTUALLY LIKENED IT.

TO SOMETHING LIKE A MOB TRIAL AND NOT SOMETHING HE WOULD WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH. BUT THE COURT IS SCHEDULED TO GET BACK UNDERWAY AND THEY ARE WHITTLING DOWN THAT SECOND PANEL OF 96 JURORS. THEY HAVE NOW ALL DONE THEIR QUESTIONNAIRE, THE JUDGES.

FROM EARTH EXCUSE ME, THE ATTORNEYS FROM, EACH SIDE ARE GOING TO GET OUT. THEY'RE GOING TO QUESTION THEM. AND AFTER THAT POINT, THERE COULD BE A MOMENT WHERE WE GET A NEW BATCH. POTENTIAL JURORS REMEMBER YESTERDAY, NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.

FOR QUITE SOME TIME UNTIL SUDDENLY THERE WERE SEVEN JURORS SEATED. SO WE COULD SEE THAT TODAY AS WE GET TO THE END OF THE WHITTLING DOWN PROCESS OF THE 96. SO I THINK IT WOULD BE SURPRISING IF WE SAW A FEW.

MORE SEATED THIS AFTERNOON. >> ALL RIGHT, OLIVIA, THANK YOU FOR THAT. I JUST WANT TO GO WITH YOU ON THIS ISSUE THAT THAT THAT LADY JUST RAISED THAT SHE HEARD FROM THE PROSPECTIVE JUROR WHO'S NOW GOING TO BE IN THIS CASE.

>> YEAH, THIS IS A RISKY ENDEAVOR, REALLY, GIVEN THE STAKES OF CASE AND THE WAY THE COUNTRY GETS ANGRY AT EACH OTHER OVER ALL THINGS POLITICAL, SHOULDN'T THERE BE MORE SECRECY AROUND THIS PROCESS, DO YOU THINK, TO PROTECT PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING.

TO SERVE ON THIS JURY? >> YES, I DO THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE MORE SECRECY AROUND THIS PROCESS. AND THERE MAY ACTUALLY BE THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED AS OF TODAY. I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE THE JUDGE HAS DIRECTED THE PRESS TO START.

TO REFRAIN FROM REPORTING ON PHYSICAL AND IS NOW NOT GOING TO MAKE PUBLIC THE RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONS ,CURRENT OR PAST EMPLOYERS. >> AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MEDIA RIGHT NOW, THIS IS NOT.

THE MEDIA'S FAULT. THE JUDGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ATTENTIVE TO THIS WHEN HE CAME UP WITH THE PLAN FOR THIS DIRE . AND HE ISSUED A VERY LENGTHY ORDER WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS. THE D.A.'S OFFICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ATTENTIVE TO IT, TOO.

AND I'M SURPRISED AT ALL THAT THE JUROR THIS MORNING HAD THOSE. AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF WE HEAR MORE. >> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT EXONERATION OF THE MEDIA THERE, OF COURSE, BUT I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME.

INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS AROUND AROUND COVERAGE FOR PRECISELY FOR THESE REASONS. OLIVIA, I GUESS THERE'S A NEW COURT FILING THAT SIGNALS WHAT DONALD TRUMP MIGHT WANT TO DO IN TERMS OF TESTIFYING IN THIS TRIAL. WELL, TERRY, DONALD TRUMP HAS.

BEEN ADAMANT THAT HE WANTS TO TESTIFY AS PART OF THE TRIAL. I ASKED HIM THE QUESTION THREE WEEKS AGO. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TESTIFYING. I DID NOTHING WRONG. BUT THAT MAY CHANGE.

A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OF NEW FILING FROM PROSECUTORS IN WHICH THEY ARE SORT OF BROADENING OUT AND LAYING DOWN WHAT EXACTLY THEY WANT TO QUESTION. DONALD TRUMP. AND IT IS NOT JUST THIS CASE, ESSENTIALLY WHAT PROSECUTORS.

ARE SAYING IS THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO BRING IN ALL OF THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, CIVIL CONVICTIONS AND LEGAL ISSUES THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD. SO THINK ABOUT THE MASSIVE $400 MILLION JUDGMENT THAT HE IS JUST FACING HIM AND THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, SOME OF.

HIS SONS, THAT'S SOMETHING THEY WOULD WANT TO QUESTION HIM ON. THINK ABOUT E. JEAN CARROLL, THE TWO VERDICTS AGAINST HIM AGAIN IN CIVIL COURT, BUT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT VERDICT AND ANOTHER DEFAMATION FOR ALMOST $90 MILLION IN DAMAGES,.

THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF ISSUES THAT PROSECUTORS ARE GOING TO WANT TO BRING IN. SO THE JUDGE IS GOING TO HOLD A HEARING ON THE ISSUE OF FOR THE STAND OF ALL WHERE HE'S GOING TO CARVE OUT EXACTLY WHAT THE SCOPE IS SO THAT DONALD KNOWS IF HE TAKES.

THE STAND, THIS IS WHAT HE IS GOING TO BE QUESTIONED ON. AND IS IT MUCH BROADER THAN THEY HAD ORIGINALLY WANTED OR THEY HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT? IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE COULD WALK BACK, THAT DECISION AND CHANGE HIS MIND OR HE COULD CHARGE FORWARD WITH WHAT HE HAS.

BEEN SAYING PUBLICLY, WHICH IS I AM GOING TO TESTIFY. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. I SAID, YOU KNOW, IT IS A TOUGH DECISION FOR ANY DEFENDANT IN ANY CASE TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND THERE AT SUCH PERIL UP.

THERE. AND YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S BASICALLY A DECISION ON THAT DAY. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HOW THE TRUMP TEAM, DONALD TRUMP, IS GOING TO PROCESS THIS QUESTION? >> YEAH, SO IT'S GENERALLY NOT.

A GOOD IDEA. JUST THE FUNDAMENTAL SORT OF BASIC PRECEPT OF CRIMINAL DEFENSE TO HAVE YOUR DEFENDANT TESTIFY IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. IT USUALLY DOES NOT GO WELL IN TRUMP'S CASE. >> I MEAN, HE HAS SOME CONFLICTING IMPERATIVES.

HERE, RIGHT? HIS POLITICAL PERSONA IS VERY BRASH AND FORWARD. IN YOUR CASE, HE'S NOT BACKING DOWN OFF OF ANYTHING. SO THAT'S CONSISTENT GOING UP AND TESTIFYING. HOWEVER, IF HE TESTIFIES, I DO NOT THINK IT WILL BE HELPFUL.

TO HIM AT ALL. I MEAN, HE'S DONE THIS TWICE, RIGHT? HE TESTIFIED THE E. JEAN CARROLL CASE EARLIER THIS YEAR AND HE TESTIFIED IN NEW YORK AIDS CASE. THOSE BOTH WENT VERY POORLY.

HIS WAS SERIOUSLY CALLED INTO QUESTION. AND I DO NOT THINK THAT TESTIMONY HELPED HIM AT ALL IN CASE. >> SO I WOULD IMAGINE HIS LAWYERS ARE GOING TO BE ADVISING HIM NOT TO DO THIS, IN PART BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,.

THE STAND OF ALL HEARING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING WHETHER PROSECUTORS ARE REALLY SAYING IS THAT IF TRUMP TAKES THE STAND, THEY ARE GOING TO TELL THE JURY, THAT THIS MAN IS A REPEATED, SHAMELESS LIAR. THAT IS THEIR THEORY.

THAT IS WHY THEY'VE PULLED ALL THOSE THINGS TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE THAT WILL BE, OBVIOUSLY. BUT THE GOAL WOULD BE TO SAY, YEAH, HE'S TESTIFYING, HE'S HERE, GREAT, EXCEPT HE LIES ALL THE TIME AND YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE ANY OF IT.

SERIOUSLY. I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT LOOK FOR TRUMP. IF I WERE HIS LAWYER, I WOULD HIM NOT TO DO IT NOW. >> IT'S HARD TO BE DONALD TRUMP'S LAWYER. I THINK A LOT OF LAWYERS HAVE FOUND THAT OUT.

I GUESS SCUDERI JOHN SANTUCCI, OLIVIA RUBIN, THANKS VERY MUCH . >> WELL, TO THE MIDDLE EAST NOW. THE UNITED STATES IS IMPOSING A NEW ROUND OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN. THIS COMES AS THE US LOOKS.

TO PUNISH TEHRAN FOR LAST WEEK'S MASSIVE ATTACK ON ISRAEL AND TARGETS ENGINE MANUFACTURERS OF IRANIAN DRONES, WHICH WERE USED IN THE HUNDREDS IN THAT ATTACK WHICH WAS BASICALLY THWARTED BY THE ISRAELIS. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS THESE.

SANCTIONS WILL HOLD IRAN AND HELP DESTABILIZE THE COUNTRY'S MILITARY PROGRAMS. THAT'S THE HOPE. ISRAEL, MEANWHILE, SAYS IT'S STILL WATCHING ITS OWN RESPONSE, WEIGHING ITS OWN RESPONSE TO THIS ATTACK, WHILE.

ALSO MEETING WITH SENIOR U.S. OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS A POTENTIAL MILITARY OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN WHERE SO MANY REFUGEES HAVE GONE. MEANWHILE, HERE IN WASHINGTON ON CAPITOL, HOUSE, REPUBLICANS ARE MEETING TODAY TO DISCUSS.

A NEW FOREIGN AID BILL FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON HAS DRAWN CRITICISM AFTER BUNDLING A BILL THAT WILL FORCE A SALE OR TOTAL BAN A TICK TOCK INTO FOREIGN AID PACKAGE. ALL THIS IS GOING ON. LET'S BRING IN ABC NEWS FOR,.

OF COURSE, TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN TEL AVIV. NBC JAY O'BRIEN IN WASHINGTON. TOM, FIRST TO YOU ON THE GROUND THERE. HOW SERIOUS ARE THESE THREATS AS THEY COME AS THE U.S. ANNOUNCES NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN?.

DO YOU THINK IT WOULD MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE THAT IRAN IS NOW SAYING ANY RETALIATION BY ISRAEL WOULD BRING AN EVEN GREATER ESCALATION BY IRAN? >> WELL, THIS IS PROBABLY IRAN'S MOST EXPLICIT THREAT IN IT MIGHT RETALIATE IF ISRAEL IF A BIG IF WERE.

TO STRIKE TERRITORY AND POSSIBLY IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM. MEAN, THE CAVEAT HERE IS THERE'S NO INDICATION THAT ISRAEL IS ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THAT. AND ACTUALLY U.S. OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN KIND OF STEERING.

US AWAY FROM THAT WITH LANGUAGE, ALTHOUGH IT'S JUST NOT CLEAR WHAT ISRAEL IS GOING TO ACTUALLY GO FOR IN TERMS OF ITS RESPONSE. >> BUT I MEAN, WHAT IRAN IS SAYING, THAT IT HAS ITS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER AND IT'S IDENTIFIED ISRAELI NUCLEAR.

SITES. AND ALSO IRAN IS THREATENING THAT IT WOULD CHANGE ITS NUCLEAR DOCTRINE AND. WHAT IT PROBABLY MEANS BY THAT IS UP UNTIL NOW, IRAN HAS AT LEAST THAT ITS ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM IS ONLY FOR CIVILIAN. MANY PEOPLE QUESTION WHETHER.

THAT'S THE CASE. BUT ACTUALLY, IF IT WERE TO CHANGE ITS NUCLEAR DOCTRINE, IT APPEARS TO BE SAYING THAT ACTUALLY IT WOULD GO FOR LEATHER TOWARDS ACTUALLY GETTING A NUCLEAR BOMB. AT THE MOMENT HAS ENOUGH.

ENRICHED URANIUM TO PRODUCE A BOMB BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE MEANS TO ACTUALLY CREATE A NUCLEAR WARHEAD. ANALYSTS A FORMER MILITARY OFFICER WE SPOKE TO THIS WEEK BELIEVES THAT IRAN IS WEEKS AWAY FROM THAT. BUT AGAIN, IT JUST SHOWS.

YOU WHAT'S AT STAKE RIGHT NOW IN THE MIDDLE EAST. YEAH. EVERYTHING'S ON A KNIFE EDGE THERE. JAY, LET'S GO TO YOU ON WHAT KIND OF PRESSURE SPEAKER JOHNSON IS FACING HERE AND THIS BAN ON TICK TOCK THAT'S BEEN.

STAPLED TO THIS LEGISLATION THAT COULD HAPPEN ON THE TABLE. >> THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO PUT IT, TERRY. I WANT TO TAKE THE FIRST PART OF YOUR QUESTION FIRST. SO SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS UNVEILED THESE FOUR FOREIGN AID BILLS IN IT IS AID FOR UKRAINE.

AND ISRAEL, ETC.. AND THERE IS STAUNCH GOP OPPOSITION, PARTICULARLY AMONGST HARD LINERS AGAINST AID FOR UKRAINE. MANY HAVE SAID THEY DO LIKE THE WAY JOHNSON IS GOING ABOUT DOING THIS, SO THEY'VE BEGUN TO TURN ON JOHNSON,.

PARTICULARLY MARJORIE TAYLOR. GREENE ONE MORE THAN THOMAS MASSIE. AND SO MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE HAS RAMPED UP HER THREATS TO JOHNSON'S SPEAKERSHIP. SHE HASN'T GOTTEN THE FULL WAY TO CALL A VOTE TO REMOVE JOHNSON YET, BUT SHE'S GETTING.

CLOSE AND WITH EVERY DAY, HER CRITICISM RAMPS UP MORE AND MORE. AND SO IT THREATENS JOHNSON'S JOB BECAUSE OF THIS STANCE HE'S TAKING FOR UKRAINE AID. BUT IT'S ALSO ANGERING SOME MORE MODERATE WHO SAY GREENE HAS TOO MUCH OF A HOLD.

OVER THE AND IS TRYING TO EXERT TOO MUCH POWER. I TALKED TO ONE OF THOSE REPUBLICANS, MIKE WALLER OF NEW YORK. >> HERE'S WHAT HE TOLD ME. >> WHAT'S YOUR MESSAGE TO THE LIKES OF MARJORIE TAYLOR? GREENE AND OTHERS WHO ARE.

THREATENING JOHNSON? LOOK, I THINK IT IS IDIOTIC. I THINK IT IS NOT SERVING THE PURPOSE OF THEIR CAUSE OR THE CAUSE OF THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY AND IN FACT, IS DOING EVERYTHING IT CAN TO UNDERMINE THE CAUSE. YOU DON'T LIKE A BILL VOTE NOW.

WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE OUR CONSCIENCE, OUR DISTRICT. >> NOW, LOOK, ON THE FLIPSIDE OF THIS, THERE ARE HARDLINE REPUBLICANS WHO SAY JOHNSON HAS LOST THEIR TRUST. TERRY.

SO HE IS IN VERY SERIOUS POLITICAL HOT WATER HERE, TOO. THAT TICK TOCK, IT'S BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT SECTION OF FOUR BILLS. AND SO IF IT ALL PASSES IN THE TIKTOK LEGISLATION STAYS IN THIS PACKAGE, THEN IT WOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE SENATE.

MIKE JOHNSON AS ONE GROUPING OF BILLS IN THE SENATE IF IT WANTED TO VOTE THAT AID FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS POTENTIAL BAN OR FORCED SALE OF TIKTOK, TIKTOK. >> YEAH, THAT WOULD HAVE MAJOR IMPACT IN HIGH SCHOOLS ACROSS.

THE AND ELSEWHERE. OF COURSE. TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN TEL AVIV ON THE THERE JAY O'BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL. >> THANKS IN. PHILADELPHIA. MORE THAN A DOZEN MEMBERS OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY.

HAVE PUBLICLY ENDORSED BIDEN'S REELECTION CAMPAIGN, DESPITE ROBERT KENNEDY JUNIOR'S INDEPENDENT RUN FOR PRESIDENT. >> I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW DONALD OUTRAGEOUS LIVES AND BEHAVIOR WOULD HAVE HORRIFIED MY FATHER, SENATOR ROBERT KENNEDY,.

WHO PROUDLY, AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES AND HONORED HIS PLEDGE TO UPHOLD THE LAW AND PROTECT THE COUNTRY. DADDY STOOD FOR EQUAL JUSTICE, FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM FROM WANT AND FEAR. JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN DOES.

TODAY. >> >> WELL, ROBERT KENNEDY JR. >> HE'S THE SON OF SENATOR ROBERT F KENNEDY AND THE NEPHEW OF FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY. OF COURSE, PROMINENT MEMBERS OF POLITICALLY FAMOUS FAMILY HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OF RFK JR.

KENNEDY FROM THE BEGINNING. POLL WATCHERS SAY THIS THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE POPULAR DEMOCRATIC NAME POTENTIAL TO DAMAGE BIDEN. LET'S BRING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS ON THIS. YOU'VE BEEN TAKING A LOOK.

AT THIS. >> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? WHO DOES WHO DOES? ROBERT F. KENNEDY HURT MORE AND HOW MUCH TRUMP OR BIDEN? >> IT'S EARLY TO TELL. AND IT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON TWO BIG THINGS. ONE, BALLOT ACCESS.

RIGHT NOW, WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN POLLS, RFK HAS REACHED EVEN 10%, SOME 15%. BUT HE'S ONLY ACTUALLY GAINED ACCESS TO THE BALLOT IN TWO STATES. ACTUALLY, A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY OF THAT SECOND STATE, MICHIGAN OBVIOUSLY A CRUCIAL.

SWING STATE. SO THAT COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. BUT LOOK IF YOU'RE ONLY ON THE BALLOT IN TWO STATES, THERE'S ONLY SO MANY VOTERS THAT YOU CAN WIN. BUT THE OTHER BIG DIFFERENCE IS JUST GOING TO BE THE MARGIN.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT HAS DEMOCRATS SO FEARFUL OF HIS CANDIDACY IF THEY'VE BEEN BURNED IN THE PAST. THEY HAVE SEEN TIMES WHERE TAKE 2016 WHERE HILLARY CLINTON LOST TO TRUMP IN IT BY SMALLER MARGINS. THEN THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES WON.

. SO WHEN YOU TALK TO DEMOCRATS, THEY SAY WE CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE ANY CHANCES. AND YOU'VE SEEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, REALLY INVESTING IN PUSHING BACK ON HIS CANDIDACY, EVEN THIS EARLY ON IN A CLOSE RACE LIKE.

RALPH IN FLORIDA, PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT AL GORE AND GAVE THE PRESIDENCY TO GEORGE W BUSH. SO, LOOK, THE KENNEDYS ARE BIG FAMILY, LOTS OF KENNEDYS ARE OUT THERE SUPPORTING ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. HIS OWN DAUGHTER-IN-LAW IS A.

PART OF HIS CAMPAIGN. THERE'S SOME REPORTING THAT ONE OF HIS HIS COUSINS. BUT LOOK, THE BULK OF THE ESTABLISHMENT KENNEDY FAMILY, THOSE KENNEDYS THAT HAVE WORKED IN POLITICS RECENTLY AND SERVED IN GOVERNMENT RECENTLY, KNOW THEY ARE SO FORCEFULLY AGAINST.

HIS CANDIDACY THAT THEY WANT IT TO REALLY COME OUT TODAY IN A SHOW OF, LIKE YOU SAID, OVER A DOZEN OF THEM STANDING THERE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE STANDING WITH THE PRESIDENT THAT THEY ARE DEMOCRATS, THAT THEY.

DON'T SUPPORT SORT OF THEIR COUSIN BROTHER-IN-LAW, A CANDIDACY HERE. >> YOU KNOW, IT'S TO YOUR POINT AGAIN, THOUGH, ABOUT WHO RFK WILL PULL FROM. IT IS INTERESTING TO ME TO THE LEVEL OF CONSERVATIVE AND SPECIFICALLY MAGA BACKING.

THAT RFK HAS NOT ONLY IN SOME THOSE VOTERS THAT WE'RE SEEING AT HIS EVENTS ANTI-VAXXER VOTERS, SORT OF DISILLUSIONED VOTERS ARE DISILLUSIONED WITH PARTIES, BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DONORS AND THE FUNDERS. SO MUCH OF RFK IS FUNDING SO.

FAR COMING FROM BIG DONORS THAT ARE ALSO BACKING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. GEE I WONDER WHY THAT COULD BE. THEY THEY WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO GET ON ALL THE BALLOTS TO TAKE VOTES FROM BIDEN. MARYALICE PARKS THANKS VERY MUCH.

WELL, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE BRACING FOR A NEW ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS. >> PARTS OF OHIO ARE CLEANING UP AFTER TWO CONFIRMED TORNADOES TOUCHED DOWN YESTERDAY, RAVAGING PART OF STATE. YOU CAN SEE IT HERE.

LOOK AT THAT. MANY HOMES NOW AVERAGE JUST REDUCED TO RUINS THERE. THE POWERFUL STORMS ARE ALSO BRINGING DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL, FLASH FLOODING, AND IT'S NOT OVER YET. SO METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING ALL OF IT.

FOR US. >> MELISSA, WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT? EXPECT WELL, TERRY, THOSE TWO CONFIRMED TORNADOES IN OHIO ARE TWO OF 25 CONFIRMED TORNADOES OVER THE LAST THREE DAYS. THE SYSTEM JUST SPANNING 25 OF.

THEM, ALONG WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL ACROSS THE HEARTLAND AND THE GREAT LAKES. >> THIS STORM SYSTEM FINALLY OVER, BUT A NEW ONE IS NOW ON THE WAY AND THOSE STORMS ARE GOING TO START UP IN A LOT OF THE SAME AREAS FROM TEXAS TO ARKANSAS MISSOURI YET AGAIN.

UP TO INDIANA. THIS IS TONIGHT. SO INTO EVENING, THIS AREA WILL BE WATCHING FOR MORE IN THE WAY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES IN THIS AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE, JUST THE ENHANCED. >> ST. LOUIS TO PADUCAH,.

KENTUCKY, LOUISVILLE TO SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI, BUT ALL THE WAY BACK TO TEXAS COULD SEE THESE DAMAGING AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES EAST AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. THE GOOD NEWS, IT DOES WEAKEN A BIT. SO IT'S LOOKING LIKE A ONE DAY.

SEVERE WEATHER EVENT INSTEAD OF A THREE DAY ONE LIKE WE JUST SAW. STILL SOME SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON FROM ATLANTA TO RALEIGH AND JUST SHOWERS IN THE NORTHEAST TERRY. >> ALL RIGHT, MELISSA GRIFFIN THERE ON THE WEATHER.

SO GO TO GOODMORNINGAMERICA.COM OR SCAN THIS QR CODE TO FIND OUT HOW TO ENTER A DESERVING MOM. YOU LOVE FOR BREAKFAST IN BED. GLAD TO STREAMING WITH US, US WITH ARE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RIGHT NOW AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING HANDCUFFED.

,PLACED IN NYPD BUSES AFTER COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT AUTHORIZED THEM POLICE TO CLEAR THAT CAMPUS. PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS ARE DEMANDING THAT THE UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES CUT OFF FUNDING TIES WITH WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS.

THAT SUPPLY ISRAEL, ALL WHILE DOZENS OF PRO-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATORS HAVE ALSO GATHERED NEAR CAMPUS TESTIMONY FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT, BILL SHAFIK, BEFORE A HOUSE COMMITTEE OVER THE SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTI-SEMITISM.

FOR MORE. ABC'S MORGAN NORWOOD IS OUTSIDE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. THE LATEST WHAT'S THERE MORGAN HEY TERRY BOY HAVE THINGS ESCALATED WITHIN THE PAST HOUR OR SO YOU POINTED OUT THE UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT HAS DIRECTED THE NYPD TO GO INSIDE.

CAMPUS AND GET HANDCUFFING PEOPLE. WE SEE THAT AS WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING PART OF THAT. YOU CAN SEE SOME DEMONSTRATORS, I WOULD SAY MORE THAN A HUNDRED, MAYBE EVEN 200 HAVE GATHERED OUTSIDE OF THE GATES HERE.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE. BUT I WANT TO SAY THAT WE HAVE VIDEO OF THIS AS WELL. THERE ARE BUS LOADS, ABOUT 3 TO 4 BUSES, AND SEVERAL OF THEM ARE ALREADY OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WILL BE UNDER ARREST.

REMEMBER, THE PRESIDENT, THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT HAS SENT OUT SEVERAL ONE AS EARLY AS TODAY AND THEN ALSO YESTERDAY GIVING, STUDENTS UNTIL 9:00 TO DISPERSE THE TENTS THAT THEY HAD SET ON THE SOUTH LAWN OF THE UNIVERSITY, WHERE THEY CONTINUE.

TO GATHER BOTH OUTSIDE OF THE UNIVERSITY, AS I SHOWED YOU JUST ABOUT AN HOUR AGO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CAMPUS BUT THEN ALSO OVERNIGHT. SO IN A NEW LETTER, THE WRITES, I REGRET THAT ALL OF THESE ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION WERE REJECTED.

BY THE STUDENTS INVOLVED. AND AS A RESULT, NYPD OFFICERS ARE NOW ON CAMPUS AND THE PROCESS CLEARING THAT ENCAMPMENT IS NOW UNDER WAY. SO HERE IS RESULT OF THAT. WE HAVE NYPD OFFICERS. THERE ARE DOZENS OF THEM.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE, AND YOU CAN'T SEE THEM FROM THIS PARTICULAR VANTAGE POINT. BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD WITHIN THE PAST 5 MINUTES THAT THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO START TO CLEAR OUT SOME OF THESE PROTESTERS, BECAUSE WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE.

TO SHUT DOWN THE STREETS SO THAT THEY CAN MOVE ALL OF THOSE BUSLOADS OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND TAKE THEM TO THE PRECINCT. SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, PROTESTS, OF COURSE, HAVE A STORIED HISTORY AT COLUMBIA, IS WHAT THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT HAS.

SAID. SHE SAYS THAT SHE HAS TO GET THE SITUATION UNDER CONTROL, TRY TO GET STUDENTS TO DISPERSE PEACEFULLY, WANTING THEM TO GATHER, YOU KNOW, PEACEFULLY. BUT AS RESULT, SOME OF THOSE ENCAMPMENTS THAT WE SAW.

ON THE UNIVERSITY'S CAMPUS HAVE BEEN A VIOLATION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S POLICY. SO THAT IS THE SITUATION HERE. BUT YOU CAN HEAR FOLKS CHANTING, GATHERING CHEERING, AND, YOU KNOW, AT TIMES EVEN HECKLING THE POLICE OFFICERS AS.

WELL, BUT WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WILL SOON BEGIN TO START TO CLEAR OUT AND GET THESE BUSES OUT OF HERE AND THE CLEARING OUT OF THE ENCAMPMENTS TAKE A WHILE, POSSIBLY THE REST OF THE DAY HERE. >> ALL RIGHT, MORGAN NEILL, WHAT A DRAMATIC DAY THERE.

AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK. >> THANKS VERY MUCH. WELL, COMING, A VIOLENT AND DEADLY CRASH INVOLVING PEDESTRIANS ON THE STREETS OF SIN CITY. STAY WITH US. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS.

SO LET'S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY PODCAST HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD, OUR MURROW AWARDS. AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN.

>> NOW, THAT'S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. HELLO, EVERYONE I'M TERRY MORAN. YOU'RE WATCHING ABC NEWS LIVE. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S.

CRIMINAL TRIAL IS STILL IN A LUNCH BREAK. WELL, THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG. WE'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES DURING JURY SELECTION TODAY. ONLY FIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN SEATED SO FAR AFTER TWO WERE EXCUSED EARLIER THIS MORNING. SEVEN ADDITIONAL JURORS.

ARE STILL NEEDED ALONG SIX ALTERNATES. AND A REMINDER HERE, DONALD TRUMP IS FACING MULTIPLE COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO TRY TO HIDE HIS ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH STAR STORMY DANIELS. BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION.

>> THAT IS THE CRUX, THE CASE. WE'VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE RIGHT NOW. SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER, JOHN SANTUCCI AND LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND, TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE.

AS WELL. SO, KATHERINE, FIRST TO YOU. WHERE DO THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW. >> WELL, AS YOU SAID, THEY'RE STILL IN A LUNCH BREAK AND WE HAVE LESTERS THAT WE STARTED WITH TODAY. WE ONLY HAVE FIVE ARE SEATED.

ON THE JURY SO FAR. SO WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL ULTIMATELY HAPPEN, HOW MANY WE END THE DAY WITH IF WE END THE DAY WITH MORE. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS STILL GOING THROUGH THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS. AND SOURCES THAT I'VE TALKED.

TO CLOSE TO TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM BELIEVE THAT THEY BE CLOSE TO A JURY TODAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, HOW MANY MORE THEY THINK THEY MIGHT GET. BUT AGAIN, WHAT DOES THAT SEE HOW THE PROCESS PLAYS OUT THERE COULD BE MORE SURPRISES LIKE WE.

HAVE THIS MORNING. WHO KNOWS? BUT AGAIN, JUST MOVING THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND THE JUDGE HAS SAID THAT HE MIGHT HE BELIEVES THAT MAYBE OPENING STATEMENTS COULD HAPPEN ON MONDAY AS AS MONDAY. WE COULD STILL BE ON.

THAT TIMELINE, COULD BE DELAYED . JUST HAVE TO SEE. ALL RIGHT. SO, BRIAN, WHAT KIND OF QUALITIES ARE BOTH PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE LOOKING FORWARD DRAW? HOW DO YOU PICK A JURY IN THIS.

CASE? WELL, JOE, WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. I THINK ABOUT IT FROM THE STANDPOINT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WAYS YOU CAN EXCUSE A JUROR. THERE ARE FOUR CALLS AND WHAT WE CALL PEREMPTORY.

CHALLENGES FOR FOUR CALLS, BOTH PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE WILL BE ON THE LIKE MIND THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT BIASED, THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ACQUAINTANCES WITH THE PARTIES OR HAVE ANY KIND OF PREJUDICE THAT MAY DISQUALIFY THEM OR ANY KIND.

OF FINANCIAL OR HEALTH HARDSHIPS. THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE MINE THERE. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES, WHICH EACH SIDE HAS TO PICK THAT 12 AND THEN TAKE AN ADDITIONAL TWO TO PICK THE ALTERNATES THEY'RE GOING.

TO BE PICKING JURORS THAT THEY BELIEVE ARE GOING TO BE MORE IN LINE WITH THEIR THEME OR THEIR THEORY OF THE CASE. THE PROSECUTION OBVIOUSLY GOING WITH THE IDEA THAT THIS IS FRAUD, TO HAVE THESE INTERNAL DOCUMENTS STATING THAT AN ATTORNEY IS.

BEING FINANCED OR PAID FOR PAYING OFF A AN ADULT FILM ARTIST AS AS YOU PUT BUT ALSO THE DEFENSE WANTS THAT THE IDEA ONE'S A LIAR, ALWAYS A LIAR. AND TYPICALLY LIKE MICHAEL COHEN AND THE OTHER POTENTIAL WITNESSES WHO THEY MIGHT WANT TO PAINT AS LIARS CANNOT.

TRUSTED. SO THOSE PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES ARE GOING TO BE WHERE THEY DEFER IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY FROM A JUROR. >> ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S VERY AND LET ME GO TO JOHN ON HOW TRUMP'S INNER.

CIRCLE IS TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS JURY SELECTION PROCESS. >> WELL, I IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S FUNNY. I THINK KATHERINE AND I ARE PROBABLY HEARING THE SAME THING. IT'S ALMOST LESS A REACTION TO THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS.

AND MORE OF A REACTION THE VIOLATIONS OF THE GAG ORDER THAT WE'RE BOTH HEARING. LOOK, AS THE WEEK BEGAN, DONALD TRUMP WAS INFORMED BY PROSECUTORS THAT IN THEIR OPINION, HE HAD VIOLATED GAG ORDER THREE TIMES. WE LEARNED THIS MORNING, TERRY,.

THAT BEFORE JURY SELECTION KICKED OFF AGAIN, POTENTIALLY SEVEN MORE VIOLATIONS OF THAT GAG, BRINGING UP TO TEN POTENTIALLY. SO THAT IS REALLY CAUSING A AMONGST DONALD TRUMP'S ADVISERS, BOTH THE LEGAL AND THE POLITICAL, BECAUSE.

HERE'S THE REALITY. IF THE GAG ORDER GETS ANY MORE STRICTER ENFORCED, IT LIMITS DONALD TRUMP. AND OBVIOUSLY WE ALL KNOW THE STUFF THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE COURTROOM HAS HELPED THE CAMPAIGN. DONALD TRUMP SO THERE'S.

A REALLY FINE LINE THERE THAT BOTH SIDES ONE DOESN'T WANT TO GET FINE, THE OTHER WANTS AND BE ABLE TO STILL TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE SEEN THE BENEFIT RIGHT. THE TEAM TRUMP AROUND THE CAMPAIGN SIDE OF THINGS WHICH OBVIOUSLY HE'S IN.

A COURTROOM, BUT HE IS STILL THE FRONTRUNNER THAT THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT FOR 2024. THEY KNOW THERE IS A BENEFIT TO DONALD TRUMP SPEAKING ABOUT THE CASES. SO THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE.

DONALD TRUMP STAYS ON THAT LINE, BECAUSE TO KEEP THE BENEFIT GOING, THE GAG ORDER GETS HARDER, IT'S GOING TO BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. TERRY AND IT'S A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, TOO. HE'S GOING TO TALK. SO BRIAN, I GUESS THERE'S A NEW.

COURT FILING WHICH IS BEING INTERPRETED AS SIGNALING TRUMP COULD ASK TO TESTIFY. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT ? >> SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE THE POLITICS AND DONALD TRUMP PERSONALITY ASIDE. LET JOHN TOUCH THAT IF HE WANTS.

TO. BUT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, THESE FILINGS ARE MORE TESTING THE WATERS. WHAT DEFENSE WANTS TO DO IS SEE THAT IF THEIR CLIENT DONALD TRUMP DOES ULTIMATELY CHOOSE TO TESTIFY, WHAT WILL THE PROSECUTION ABLE TO ASK HIM.

QUESTIONS ABOUT? WHAT AREAS WILL THEY BE ABLE TO DIVE INTO? AND SO FILINGS LIKE THIS ARE JUST TRYING GETTING A PREVIEW FOR THE DEFENSE TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S WORTH IT. >> OF COURSE, ULTIMATELY,.

IT'S ONLY THE DEFENDANT IN THIS CASE, DONALD TRUMP'S DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL TESTIFY. BUT AS AN ATTORNEY, YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO KIND GET THE LAY OF THE LAND, SO TO SPEAK, AND THEN INFORM YOUR CLIENT TO SAY WHAT THIS.

IS, WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF YOU DO TESTIFY AND THIS IS WHAT COULD NOT HAPPEN IF DON'T, AND THEN WEIGH THE PROS AND CONS FOR THEM. >> GOT SO CATHERINE YEAH, THIS IS A CAMPAIGN, OBVIOUSLY AND MOST CANDIDATES WOULD NOT WANT TO BE STUCK IN COURT FOR.

SIX WEEKS BECAUSE THEY'RE A DEFENDANT IN A CRIMINAL TRIAL. BUT DONALD TRUMP IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAT ALTOGETHER. BUT HOW IS THIS IMPACTING HIS CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE? >> WELL, IT'S INTERESTING. IT GETS INTO THAT LEGAL VERSUS.

POLITICAL STRATEGY THAT SANTUCCI KIND OF TALKED ABOUT AS IT RELATES TO THE GAG ORDER. BUT HERE WE HAVE TRUMP, WHO ESSENTIALLY HIS LEGAL TEAM HAS WANTED TO DELAY, DELAY EVERYTHING, AND THEY'VE WANTED TO SLOW IT DOWN.

BUT ON THE POLITICAL SIDE, THE CAMPAIGN SIDE, HE IS UPSET THAT HE'S SITTING IN A COURTROOM FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 8 WEEKS. HE WANTS TO BE OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. HE WANTS TO BE TALKING HE WANTS TO SPEED IT UP.

SO YOU HAVE TWO CONFLICTING STRATEGIES OUT OF THE CAMPAIGN. AND THE LAWYERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GRAPPLE WITH. BUT LOOK, HE CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT ON THE ROAD DURING THE WEEKEND, POTENTIALLY.

DO EVENTS LIKE YOU SAW LAST NIGHT WHEN THIS COURT ISN'T IN SESSION ON WEDNESDAYS. THIS JUDGE DOESN'T SIT. SO HE COULD DO EVENTS THERE. BUT SURE, IT'S A BALANCING ACT BETWEEN THE LEGAL AND THE POLITICAL. BUT THE REALITY IS FOR THE NEXT.

6 TO 8 WEEKS OR HOWEVER LONG THIS TRIAL WAS, HE HAS TO BE THERE WHEN COURT IS IN SESSION, NO EXCEPTIONS, OBVIOUSLY YOU SAW THE JUDGE WOULDN'T ALLOW HIM TO GO TO THE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY ARGUMENT TO SUPREME COURT NEXT WEEK. HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO.

THAT. HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHOW UP AT COURT APPEARANCES WHERE HE HAS THE OPTION OF GOING. SO CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BALANCE AND DON'T. WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.

HOW OFTEN HE'S ABLE TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD AND CAMPAIGN THAT IT IS GOING TO BE TOUGH FOR HIM. >> SO, JOHN, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FOR THE REST OF TODAY OUT OF THIS CASE? >> WELL, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO WAIT AND SEE AS THEY COME.

BACK NOW INTO COURT. >> TERRY WHERE THEY ARE. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, KATHERINE, AS YOU MENTIONED, IS HEARING THIS, THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL POSSIBILITY THAT MORE JURORS COULD BE SEATED THAT GET US TO LUCKY NUMBER TEN AND REALLY MAGIC NUMBER 18 WHEN.

YOU INCLUDE THE ALTERNATES. I DON'T THINK SO. I'D BE VERY SURPRISED BY THAT, BRIAN. I'M LOOKING FOR A HEAD NOD OF YOU. AGREE WITH ME. OKAY, I GOT A 5050 FROM BRIAN TERRY.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY THE QUESTION. >> NOW IF THEY DON'T, WE'VE GOT TOMORROW. SO HOPEFULLY IF THERE'S NO OTHER CHALLENGES, GAG ORDER VIOLATIONS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, MAYBE GET RIGHT TO JURY SELECTION TOMORROW.

WITHOUT ANY, YOU KNOW, PRE THEATER THAT COULD BE REALLY SOMETHING FINISHED FRIDAY AND THEN WE GET THE WEEK ANEW. BUT YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE, TERRY. >> YEAH, MY MY GUESS HAVING COVERED LOT OF TRIALS IS EXPECT.

DELAYS. JOHN JOHN SANTUCCI, BRIAN BUCKMIRE, KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANKS VERY MUCH. >> TO THE MIDDLE EAST NOW. THE UNITED STATES IS A NEW ROUND OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN. THIS COMES AS THE US LOOKS.

TO PUNISH TEHRAN FOR LAST WEEK'S MASSIVE ATTACK ON ISRAEL TARGETS. ENGINE MANUFACTURERS OF IRANIAN DRONES, WHICH WERE USED IN THE HUNDREDS IN THAT ATTACK, WHICH WAS BASICALLY BY THE ISRAELIS. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS THESE SANCTIONS WILL HOLD ACCOUNTABLE.

AND HELP DESTABILIZE THE COUNTRY'S MILITARY PROGRAMS. THAT'S THE HOPE. ISRAEL, MEANWHILE, SAYS IT'S STILL WATCHING ITS OWN RESPONSE, WEIGHING ITS OWN RESPONSE TO THIS ATTACK, WHILE ALSO MEETING WITH SENIOR U.S.

OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL MILITARY OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH, SOUTHERN GAZA, WHERE SO MANY REFUGEES HAVE GONE. MEANWHILE, HERE IN WASHINGTON ON CAPITOL HILL, HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE MEETING TODAY TO DISCUSS A NEW FOREIGN BILL FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE.

HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, HOWEVER, HAS DRAWN CRITICISM AFTER BATTLING A BILL THAT WILL FORCE A SALE OR TOTAL BAN. A TICK TOCK INTO THAT FOREIGN AID PACKAGE. >> ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON. LET'S BRING ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE.

IN TEL AVIV. ABC JAY O'BRIEN IN WASHINGTON. TOM, FIRST TO YOU ON THE GROUND THERE. HOW SERIOUS ARE THESE THREATS AS THEY COME AS THE U.S. ANNOUNCES NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN? DO YOU THINK IT WOULD MAKE ANY.

DIFFERENCE THAT IRAN NOW SAYING ANY RETALIATION BY ISRAEL WOULD BRING EVEN GREATER ESCALATION BY IRAN? WELL, THIS IS PROBABLY IRAN'S MOST EXPLICIT THREAT IN HOW IT MIGHT RETALIATE IF ISRAEL IF A BIG IF WERE TO STRIKE IRANIAN TERRITORY AND POSSIBLY IRAN'S.

PROGRAM. I MEAN, THE CAVEAT HERE IS THERE'S NO INDICATION THAT ISRAEL IS ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THAT. AND ACTUALLY, U.S. OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN KIND OF STEERING US AWAY FROM THAT WITH SOME LANGUAGE, ALTHOUGH.

IT'S JUST NOT CLEAR WHAT ISRAEL GOING TO ACTUALLY GO FOR IN TERMS OF ITS RESPONSE. BUT, I MEAN, WHAT IRAN IS SAYING IS THAT IT HAS ITS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER AND IT'S IDENTIFIED ISRAELI NUCLEAR SITES. AND ALSO IRAN IS THREATENING.

THAT IT WOULD CHANGE ITS DOCTRINE. AND WHAT IT PROBABLY MEANS BY THAT IS UP UNTIL NOW, IRAN AT LEAST CLAIMED THAT ITS ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM IS ONLY FOR CIVILIAN. MANY PEOPLE QUESTION WHETHER THAT'S THE CASE.

BUT ACTUALLY, IF IT WERE TO CHANGE JUST NUCLEAR DOCTRINE, IT APPEARS TO BE SAYING THAT ACTUALLY IT WOULD GO TO FOR LEATHER TOWARDS ACTUALLY GETTING A NUCLEAR BOMB. AT THE MOMENT, IRAN ENOUGH ENRICHED URANIUM TO PRODUCE.

A BOMB, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE MEANS TO ACTUALLY CREATE A NUCLEAR WARHEAD UNLESS A FORMER ISRAELI MILITARY WE SPOKE TO THIS WEEK BELIEVES THAT IRAN IS WEEKS AWAY FROM THAT. BUT AGAIN, IT JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT'S AT STAKE RIGHT NOW.

IN THE MIDDLE EAST? >> YEAH, EVERYTHING'S ON A KNIFE EDGE THERE. JAY, LET'S GO TO YOU ON WHAT KIND OF PRESSURE SPEAKER JOHNSON IS FACING HERE AND THIS BAN ON TICK TOCK THAT'S BEEN STAPLED TO THIS LEGISLATION THAT COULD HAPPEN ON THE TABLE.

IS A GOOD WAY TO PUT IT. TERRY, I WANT TO TAKE THE FIRST PART OF YOUR QUESTION FIRST. SO SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS UNVEILED THESE FOUR FOREIGN AID BILLS IN HIS AID FOR UKRAINE, ISRAEL, ETC., AND THERE IS STAUNCH GOP OPPOSITION, PARTICULARLY AMONGST HARD LINERS AGAINST AID.

FOR UKRAINE. MANY HAVE THEY DO NOT LIKE THE WAY JOHNSON IS GOING ABOUT DOING THIS, SO THEY'VE BEGUN TO TURN ON JOHNSON, PARTICULARLY MARJORIE TAYLOR. GREENE AND ONE MORNING, THOMAS MASSIE. AND SO MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.

HAS RAMPED UP HER THREATS TO. JOHNSON'S SPEAKERSHIP. SHE HASN'T GOTTEN THE FULL WAY TO CALL A VOTE TO JOHNSON YET, BUT SHE'S GETTING CLOSE. AND WITH EVERY DAY HER CRITICISM RAMPS UP MORE AND MORE. AND SO IT THREATENS JOHNSON'S.

JOB BECAUSE OF THIS STANCE HE'S TAKING FOR UKRAINE AID. BUT IT'S ALSO ANGERING MORE MODERATE REPUBLICANS WHO SAY GREENE HAS TOO MUCH OF A HOLD OVER THE PARTY AND IS TRYING TO EXERT TOO MUCH POWER. I TALKED TO ONE OF THOSE REPUBLICANS, MIKE LAWLOR OF NEW.

YORK. HERE'S WHAT HE TOLD. >> WHAT'S YOUR MESSAGE TO THE LIKES OF MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND OTHERS WHO ARE THREATENING JOHNSON? LOOK, I THINK IT IS IDIOTIC. I THINK IT IS NOT SERVING THE PURPOSE OF, THEIR CAUSE OR.

THE CAUSE OF THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY AND IN FACT, IS DOING EVERYTHING IT CAN TO UNDERMINE THE CAUSE. YOU DON'T LIKE A BILL VOTE NOW. ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE OUR CONSCIENCE, OUR DISTRICT. >> NOW, LOOK, ON THE FLIPSIDE.

OF THIS, THERE ARE REPUBLICANS WHO SAY JOHNSON HAS LOST THEIR TRUST. TERRY. SO HE IS IN VERY SERIOUS POLITICAL HOT WATER HERE, TOO. THAT TICK TOCK BAN. IT'S BEEN INCLUDED IN THAT SECTION OF FOUR AID BILLS.

AND SO IF IT ALL PASSES AND THE TIKTOK LEGISLATION STAYS IN THIS PACKAGE, THEN IT WOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE SENATE. MIKE JOHNSON'S AS ONE GROUPING OF BILLS IN THE SENATE IF IT WANTED TO VOTE ON THAT AID FOR ISRAEL AND UKRAINE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS POTENTIAL.

BAN OR FORCED SALE OF TIKTOK. TERRY. >> YEAH, THAT WOULD HAVE MAJOR IMPACT IN HIGH SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND ELSEWHERE. OF COURSE, TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IN TEL AVIV ON THE GROUND THERE ,JAY O'BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL. >> THANKS.

IN PHILADELPHIA, MORE THAN A DOZEN OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY HAVE PUBLICLY ENDORSED PRESIDENT BIDEN'S REELECTION CAMPAIGN, DESPITE ROBERT F. KENNEDY JUNIOR, HIS OWN INDEPENDENT RUN FOR PRESIDENT. >> I CAN ONLY IMAGINE.

HOW DONALD OUTRAGEOUS LIES AND BEHAVIOR WOULD HAVE HORRIFIED MY FATHER, SENATOR ROBERT KENNEDY, WHO PROUDLY, AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES AND, HONORED HIS PLEDGE TO UPHOLD THE LAW AND PROTECT THE COUNTRY.

DADDY STOOD FOR EQUAL JUSTICE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM FROM WANT AND FEAR, JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN DOES TODAY WELL. >> ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. HE'S THE SON OF SENATOR ROBERT F KENNEDY AND, THE NEPHEW OF FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN F.

KENNEDY. OF COURSE, PROMINENT MEMBERS THAT POLITICALLY FAMOUS FAMILY HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OF RFK JR KENNEDY FROM THE BEGINNING. POLL WATCHERS SAY THIS THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE POPULAR DEMOCRATIC LAST NAME POTENTIAL TO DAMAGE BIDEN.

LET'S BRING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARYALICE PARKS ON THIS. YOU'VE BEEN TAKING A LOOK AT THIS. >> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU? WHO DOES WHO DOES ROBERT F. KENNEDY HURT MORE AND HOW MUCH TRUMP OR BIDEN?.

IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL. AND IT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON TWO BIG THINGS. ONE, BALLOT ACCESS. RIGHT NOW, WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN POLLS, RFK HAS REACHED EVEN 10%, SOME 15%. BUT HE'S ONLY ACTUALLY GAINED ACCESS THE BALLOT IN TWO.

STATES. ACTUALLY, A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY OUT OF THAT SECOND STATE, MICHIGAN, OBVIOUSLY A CRUCIAL SWING STATE. SO THAT COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. BUT LOOK IF YOU'RE ONLY ON THE BALLOT IN TWO STATES,.

THERE'S ONLY SO MANY VOTERS THAT YOU CAN WIN. BUT THE OTHER BIG DIFFERENCE IS JUST GOING TO BE THE MARGINS. I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT HAS ESPECIALLY DEMOCRATS SO FEARFUL OF HIS CANDIDACY IS. THEY'VE BEEN BURNED IN THE.

PAST. THEY HAVE SEEN TIMES WHERE TAKE 2016 WHERE HILLARY CLINTON LOST TO TRUMP IN IT BY SMALLER MARGINS. THEN THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES WON . WHEN YOU TALK TO DEMOCRATS, THEY SAY WE CAN'T AFFORD.

TO TAKE ANY CHANCES. AND YOU'VE SEEN DEMOCRATIC PARTY REALLY INVESTING IN PUSHING BACK ON RFK, HIS CANDIDACY, EVEN THIS EARLY ON IN A CLOSE RACE LIKE RALPH IN FLORIDA, PROBABLY HURT AL GORE AND GAVE THE PRESIDENCY TO GEORGE W BUSH.

SO, LOOK, THE KENNEDYS ARE BIG FAMILY, LOTS OF KENNEDYS. >> ARE ANY OF THEM OUT THERE SUPPORTING ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR ,HIS OWN DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, AS A PART OF HIS CAMPAIGN? THERE'S SOME REPORTING THAT ONE OF HIS HIS COUSINS. BUT LOOK, THE BULK OF THE.

ESTABLISHMENT KENNEDY FAMILY, THOSE KENNEDYS THAT HAVE WORKED POLITICS RECENTLY AND SERVED IN GOVERNMENT RECENTLY, KNOW THEY ARE SO FORCEFULLY AGAINST HIS CANDIDACY THAT THEY WANT IT TO REALLY COME OUT TODAY IN A SHOW OF FORCE, LIKE YOU SAID, OVER A DOZEN OF THEM STANDING.

THERE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO THEM TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE STANDING WITH THE PRESIDENT, THAT THEY ARE DEMOCRATS, THAT THEY DON'T SUPPORT SORT OF THEIR COUSIN BROTHER BECAUSE WAS A CANDIDACY HERE. YOU KNOW, IT'S TO YOUR POINT.

AGAIN, THOUGH, ABOUT WHO RFK WILL PULL. IT IS INTERESTING TO ME TO SEE THE LEVEL CONSERVATIVE AND SPECIFICALLY MAGA BACKING THAT RFK NOT ONLY IN SOME OF THOSE VOTERS THAT WE'RE SEEING AT HIS EVENTS, ANTI-VAXXER VOTERS SORT OF DISABLED VOTERS.

ARE DISILLUSIONED WITH BOTH PARTIES, BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DONORS AND THE FUNDERS. SO MUCH OF RFK IS FUNDING FAR COMING FROM BIG DONORS THAT ARE ALSO BACKING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> GEE, I WONDER WHY THAT COULD.

BE THERE. THEY WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO GET ON THE BALLOTS TO TAKE VOTES AWAY FROM BIDEN. MARYALICE PARKS THANKS VERY MUCH. WELL, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS BRACING FOR A NEW ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS.

PARTS OF OHIO ARE CLEANING UP AFTER TWO CONFIRMED TORNADOES TOUCHED DOWN YESTERDAY RAVAGING PART OF THAT STATE. YOU CAN SEE IT HERE. LOOK AT THAT. MANY HOMES AND DAMAGE JUST REDUCED TO RUINS THERE. THE POWERFUL STORMS HERE ALSO.

BRING DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL AND FLASH FLOODING AND IT'S NOT OVER YET. SO METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING ALL OF IT FOR US. MELISSA, WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT? EXPECT?.

>> WELL, TERRY, THOSE TWO CONFIRMED TORNADOES IN OHIO ARE TWO OF 25 CONFIRMED TORNADOES OVER THE LAST THREE DAYS. THE SYSTEM JUST SPANNING 25 OF THEM, ALONG WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL ACROSS THE HEARTLAND AND THE GREAT LAKES.

>> THIS STORM SYSTEM FINALLY OVER, BUT A NEW ONE IS NOW ON THE WAY AND THOSE STORMS ARE GOING TO START BUBBLING UP AND A LOT OF THE SAME AREAS FROM TEXAS TO ARKANSAS, MISSOURI, YET AGAIN UP TO INDIANA. >> THIS IS TONIGHT.

SO INTO THE EVENING, THIS AREA WILL BE FOR MORE IN THE WAY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES, ESPECIALLY IN THIS AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE, JUST THE ENHANCED AREA ST. LOUIS TO PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, LOUISVILLE TO SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI.

BUT ALL THE WAY BACK TO TEXAS, COULD SEE THESE DAMAGING STORMS AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES EAST AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. >> THE GOOD NEWS IS IT DOES WEAKEN A BIT. >> SO IT'S LOOKING LIKE A ONE DAY SEVERE WEATHER EVENT OF A THREE DAY ONE LIKE WE JUST SAW.

>> STILL SOME SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON FROM ATLANTA TO RALEIGH AND JUST SOME SHOWERS IN THE NORTHEAST. >> ALL RIGHT. MELISSA GRIFFIN THERE ON THE WEATHER. THANKS VERY MUCH. AND COMING UP, A MAJOR TECH.

BEEN ARRESTED. PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS ARE DEMANDING THAT THAT UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES CUT ALL FUNDING TIES WITH WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLY ISRAEL. DOZENS OF PRO-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATORS HAVE ALSO.

GATHERED FOLLOWING TESTIMONY FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT. BUT SHAFIK BEFORE A HOUSE COMMITTEE OVER, THE SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTI-SEMITISM WAS TRYING TO RECONCILE THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO WANTED TO PROTEST AND THE.

RIGHTS OF JEWISH STUDENTS TO BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT FREE. DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT HAS BEEN THE CENTRAL CHALLENGE ON CAMPUS AND NUMEROUS OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. REGRETTABLY, THE EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH BROUGHT TO THE FORE AN UNDERCURRENT.

OF ANTI-SEMITISM THAT IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE OF MORE OR LESS X MORGAN NORWOOD IS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WITH THE LATEST. SO MORGAN COLUMBIA'S EXPERIENCE ABOUT PRO-PALESTINIAN AND PRO-ISRAEL PROTESTS AND I GUESS ANTI IN BOTH DIRECTIONS,.

TOO, FOR SOME OF THOSE PROTESTERS. >> THE LATEST THERE. YEAH, TERRY, WE'RE SEEING PROTESTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS ISSUE. AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT BEHIND ME . THERE IS THIS GARBAGE TRUCK.

BLOCKING THE VIEW HERE, BUT HAVE ROUGHLY A DOZEN DEMONSTRATORS HERE, MOST OF THEM PRO-PALESTINIAN THAT HAVE GATHERED OUTSIDE THE GATES OF COLUMBIA. BUT WE CAN SEE CLEARLY IS THE BARRICADES BUT AND ALSO THE NYPD PD OFFICERS THAT HAVE.

GATHERED, WELL, KIND OF FENCING AND TRYING TO CONTAIN THE SITUATION HERE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD THEM CHANTS. WE'VE HEARD YOU HEAR THEM BANGING THE POTS AS. BUT OCCASIONALLY WE WILL SEE A U-HAUL DEMANDING.

THAT UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SHAFIK STEP DOWN. AND AGAIN, AS YOU POINTED OUT, THESE DEMONSTRATIONS COME AS SHE JUST TESTIFIED BEFORE LAWMAKERS. YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TIMBRE HERE ON CAMPUS, THE TONE HERE ON CAMPUS MANY STUDENTS HAD.

ACCUSED THE UNIVERSITY AND HER OF ALLOWING WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS A HOTBED OF ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS. BUT I TELL YOU, TERRY, AS THESE DEMONSTRATIONS CONTINUE, TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR STUDENTS AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THESE DEMONSTRATIONS BECAUSE WE.

OBTAINED COPY OF A LETTER THAT WAS SENT OUT YESTERDAY BY THE UNIVERSITY TO ALL STUDENTS DEMANDING THAT THEY DISPERSE. NOW, WE'VE GOT TO DO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS IN TERMS OF DEMONSTRATIONS ON CAMPUS. YOU HAVE WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT.

OUTSIDE OF THE GATES, WITHIN INSIDE EVIDENCE. WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE TENS SPRAWLED OUT ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY SOUTH LAWN, AND THAT'S WHAT THE UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN TRYING TO DISPERSE AS WELL. SO WITHIN THE PAST 15 MINUTES,.

ACTUALLY ACTUALLY LEARNED THAT REPRESENTATIVE OMAR EL ON “START HERE” WAS AMONG THE STUDENTS SUSPENDED FOR PROTESTING. SHE POSTED THAT ON HER PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM. NOW, WE'VE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE UNIVERSITY TO CONFIRM.

THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION, RATHER, THAT THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY'RE WORKING IDENTIFY ALL OF THE STUDENTS INVOLVED IN WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS DISRUPTION TO LEARNING. ON THE CRIMINAL SIDE, WE HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF ARRESTS,.

FIVE SO FAR THAT DOES INCLUDE A JUVENILE FOR THIS CONTACT. THAT'S ACCORDING TO AN OFFICER WHO TOLD US THAT RIGHT HERE ON SCENE, THE POSSIBILITY OF MORE IF TENSIONS OR THINGS ESCALATE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. BUT, TERRY, WHAT WE'VE SEEN.

HERE ON COLUMBIA IS JUST A GLIMPSE INTO THE TENSE CONVERSATIONS THAT HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THIS ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR CONTINUES JERRY. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND WE PICK UP ON BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SEEN THIS.

THIS ISSUE AND THE CHALLENGES IN ADDRESSING IT ACROSS COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND NATURALLY. SO GIVEN THE HORROR AND VICIOUSNESS OF THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK IN THE SUFFERING THAT THE PLIGHT OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA. YEAH.

HOW ARE COLLEGES BALANCING THIS? I GUESS IN SOME INSTANCES IT'S WORKING. >> IN SOME INSTANCES, YOU KNOW, HAD REAL TROUBLE. >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, IT'S A REALLY TOUGH BALANCE, RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU,.

KNOW, YOU WANT TO GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS THERE. THERE'S PASSION BEHIND MANY OF THESE DEMONSTRATIONS. BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO CONCERNS THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO BULLYING AND HARASSMENT AND SO THAT'S A TOUGH POSITION.

THAT MANY UNIVERSITIES ARE FACING RIGHT NOW. AND THEN IT'S THE PROTESTS GET OUT OF HAND. AND THANKFULLY, WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT HERE AT COLUMBIA. BUT THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION THAT, YOU KNOW, MANY UNIVERSITIES ARE FACED WITH IN.

THE PAST WITH PROTECTING THE STUDENTS AND ALSO PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS. AND SO WHAT MANY STUDENTS SAY IS FREE SPEECH, BEING ABLE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT SITUATIONS AND THE CURRENT EVENTS AND CURRENT INTERNATIAL EVENTS.

IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL. WE'VE GOT THE LATEST FROM COURT AS DOZENS OF JURORS ARE EXCUSED, INCLUDING ONE WHO WAS ALREADY IN. PLUS, A POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH ON FOREIGN AID. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON.

IS MOVING FORWARD ON PLANS TO FUND ISRAEL AND UKRAINE. WHAT HE NEEDS FROM DEMOCRATS TO GET IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. >> AND MULTIPLE MEMBERS OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY ARE MAKING AN ENDORSEMENT FOR PRESIDENT TODAY .

WHY THEY'RE BACKING JOE BIDEN INSTEAD OF ROBERT F JR. HI, EVERYONE. I'M TERRY MORAN. AND OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR ONCE AGAIN, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S CRIMINAL TRIAL. BACK FROM A LUNCH BREAK.

STOP THE PRESSES. AND WHILE THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG, IN THIS CASE, WE'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES DURING JURY SELECTION. TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THEM. ONLY FIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN SEATED SO FAR AFTER TWO WERE.

EXCUSED EARLIER THIS MORNING. SEVEN ADDITIONAL JURORS ARE STILL NEEDED FOR THE CASE, ALONG WITH SIX MORE ALTERNATES. A REMINDER, DONALD TRUMP IS FACING FELONY COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO TRY TO HIDE HIS ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH STAR STORMY.

DANIELS BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. THAT'S WHAT THIS CASE IS ABOUT. AND WE HAVE SOME TEAM COVERAGE LEADING US OFF, OUR LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR, TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMASTER. SO, BRIAN, FIRST, YOU KNOW, LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT THE.

JURORS WHO HAVE BEEN SEATED SO FAR. TELL US ABOUT THEM FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE AS SOMEBODY WHO'S DONE THIS IN COURT. YEAH. SO FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE TERRY, THE THING THAT I LIKE ABOUT THE JURORS THAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR,.

AND OF COURSE, I HAVEN'T BEEN COURT I HAVEN'T SEEN THE BODY LANGUAGE OF THE WAY IN WHICH THEY REACT TO THESE QUESTIONS IS THAT THEY'RE PRETTY UNREMARKABLE AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. AND BY AND LARGE, WHEN PICKING A JURY, YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE.

WHO'S GOING TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I LOVED DONALD TRUMP OR I HATE DONALD TRUMP. YOU WANT THAT PERSON IN THE MIDDLE WHO'S MAYBE SOMEWHAT UNREMARKABLE, BUT JUST TAKE THIS INFORMATION AND TAKE THIS DUTY BECAUSE THERE'S A CIVIC DUTY VERY SERIOUSLY AND A VALUE.

IN THE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM BECAUSE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE VERDICT IS, YOU WANT ONE THAT IS IRONCLAD, ONE THAT CANNOT BE QUESTIONED AS TO THE BIAS OR OR IMPARTIALITY OF ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO TAKES THAT JURY AND FROM THEIR BACKGROUND AN ONCOLOGIST.

I KNOW WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE FOREPERSON WHO HAS THAT IRISH ACCENT, BUT HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN IN THE COUNTRY AS A UNITED STATES CITIZEN. IT'S TO GET A WIDE SPREAD OF PEOPLE IN TERMS OF BACKGROUND AND SELECTIONS TO.

>> REALLY LOOK AT IT FROM ALL POINTS OF VIEW. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE BEST. AND FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T REALLY FOLLOWED THIS SELECTION OF JURIES BEFORE. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. >> THIS SYSTEM OF EACH SIDE.

GETS TEN STRIKES, RIGHT, TO STRIKE A JUROR. HOW DOES THAT AND HOW DO YOU SEE IT PLAYING OUT SO FAR? >> SO BECAUSE OF THE LEVEL OF FELONY HERE, BOTH SIDES, PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE, BOTH GET TEN WHAT'S CALLED PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES.

THOSE CHALLENGES I DESCRIBED TO JURORS ARE, YOU KNOW WHAT? I JUST DON'T WANT THIS PERSON TO BE ON AND. THAT CAN BE FOR ANY REASON. IN FACT, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THE STATE OR REASON FOR WHY YOU WOULD USE PRIMARY CHALLENGE SO LONG AS YOU'RE NOT.

DISCRIMINATING OR THERE'S NO IMPROPRIETY IN TERMS OF SELECTING PEOPLE OR EXCLUDING PEOPLE. SORRY, BASED ON , ETHNICITY OR RACE. YOU CAN USE THAT WHENEVER YOU WANT. AND THERE'S SOME GAMESMANSHIP.

TO THAT BECAUSE ONCE YOU USE THOSE TEN PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES TO SEAT THE 12 JURORS, BECAUSE YOU DO GET TWO MORE FOR THE ALTERNATES, THEN THAT'S IT. AND SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF GAMESMANSHIP. I'LL SAY SOME PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES NOW FOR POTENTIAL.

LEADER, BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT THIS PERSON HERE. BUT YOU ALSO GET WHAT'S CALLED FOR CAUSE. AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE A PERSON SAYS THEY CANNOT FOLLOW THE JUDGE'S RULES OR INSTRUCTIONS OR THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF FINANCIAL OR.

HEALTH HARDSHIP. AND IF CAN PASS THOSE OUT BY QUESTIONING THE JURORS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE YOUR PEREMPTORY CHALLENGES. SO IN JURY SELECTION, IT'S ALMOST EQUAL PARTS ART, EQUAL PART SCIENCE OF TRYING TO SCOPE OF THE JURY FOR EITHER.

SIDE. IT'S FASCINATING. HIGH STAKES, TOO. BRIAN, I WANT TO ASK YOU A LEGAL QUESTION HERE. SO THE THE TRIAL OF FORMER SENATOR JOHN EDWARDS, WHO PAID MONEY TO THE WOMAN HE WAS WITH AFTER SHE HAD A BABY.

TO KEEP IT QUIET, AND THAT WAS DURING THE 2004 CAMPAIGN, I BELIEVE. AND HE WAS PUT ON TRIAL BY JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. VERY SIMILAR TRIAL IN THAT CASE, JOHN WAS ACQUITTED BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THAT CASE WERE IF THERE WERE.

OTHER REASONABLE REASONS THAT HE MIGHT HAVE PAID THE HUSH MONEY, NOT AS A SECRET CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION SO THAT NO ONE WOULD FIND OUT ABOUT THE SCANDAL BEFORE THEY VOTED THAT THE JURY WOULD ACQUIT. AND THEY DID ACQUIT BECAUSE.

HE SAID NO, I WAS TRYING TO KEEP FOR MY WIFE. >> I WAS TRYING TO KEEP IT FROM OTHER PEOPLE. IS THE WAY JURORS ARE GOING TO BE INSTRUCTED IN THIS CASE THAT IF DONALD HAD OTHER REASONS, SEE THE PROSECUTOR SAYING HE'S DOING IT AS AN.

ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION BECAUSE I WANTED TO KEEP IT QUIET TO FOOL THE VOTERS. BUT IF DONALD TRUMP SAYS, WELL, NO, I WANTED TO PREVENT EMBARRASSMENT IN FRONT OF THE COUNTRY OR KEEP IT FROM MY WIFE, DOES HE GO FREE? >> IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

HERE BECAUSE HERE THE CHARGE IN THE PENAL CODE FOR NEW YORK IS MORE ABOUT THE FALSIFICATION OF BUSINESS RECORDS. THE REASON BEHIND IT IS NOT NECESSARILY ELEMENTS OF THE CRIME. HOWEVER, I'M DONALD TRUMP AND.

THE DEFENSE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A JURY INSTRUCTION THAT IS ARTICULATED IN THAT WAY. AND ULTIMATELY IT WOULD BE BASED ON WHAT DONALD TRUMP, IF HE DOES THE STAND AND TESTIFIES, EXPLAIN IT. BUT IF WE GO BACK JUST A DAY OR TWO AGO IS EITHER A YESTERDAY.

OR MONDAY OR NOT. YES, IT WAS ONE DAY, MONDAY OR TUESDAY, DONALD TRUMP CAME OUT AND SAID THESE WERE LEGAL EXPENSES. I HAD AN ATTORNEY DO A JOB FOR ME. AND THEN HE IS BASED ON LEGAL EXPENSES.

NOW, AS AN ATTORNEY, I'VE NEVER BEEN PAID TO PAY OFF A STAR TO NOT PUT BAD INFORMATION ON MY CLIENT. BUT IS THAT THEORY IS PUT FORWARD AND THE DEFENSE HAS THE ABILITY TO ARGUE AND SAY LEGAL EXPENSES CAN BE ANYTHING. LEGAL EXPENSES COULD BE SERIOUS.

. GLUCKMAN TO REVIEW ONE OF HIS CONTRACTS, IN THE END, HE PAYS IN 20 BUCKS. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE THAN THAT. >> SORRY, TERRY, BUT THAT'S A LEGAL EXPENSE. IF THE CAN GET A JURY.

INSTRUCTION THAT IS GOING TO THAT LEGAL EXPENSES CAN BE ALMOST ANYTHING. THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR A WIN THERE. >> AND THAT KIND OF THEORY. GOT IT. THAT IS VERY VERY HELPFUL. >> AND IF I NEED HELP, I'LL.

CALL YOU UP. I'LL GIVE YOU THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY DISCOUNT WORK. >> THERE YOU GO. I'LL TAKE THAT BRIAN BUCKMASTER. THANKS VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. OVERSEAS NOW, THE UNITED.

STATES IS IMPOSING NEW ROUND OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN. >> THIS COMES AS THE US LOOKS TO PUNISH TEHRAN FOR LAST WEEKEND'S MASSIVE ATTACK ON ISRAEL. AND THESE SANCTIONS TARGET ENGINE MANUFACTURE OF IRANIAN DRONES, HUNDREDS OF WHICH WERE.

USED IN THAT ATTACK. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS, THESE SANCTIONS WILL HOLD IRAN ACCOUNTABLE, HELP DESTABILIZE THE COUNTRY'S PROGRAMS AT THE CLAIM. ISRAEL, MEANWHILE, SAYS IT'S STILL WEIGHING OWN RESPONSE TO THE ATTACK, WHILE.

ALSO MEETING WITH SENIOR OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS A POTENTIAL MILITARY OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE SO MANY REFUGEES HAVE FLED. >> ON HILL, MEANWHILE, HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C., HOUSE REPUBLICANS MEETING TODAY.

TO DISCUSS A NEW FOREIGN AID BILL TO HELP ISRAEL AND HELP UKRAINE. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, HOWEVER, HAS DRAWN CRITICISM AFTER BUNDLING THAT BILL WITH ONE THAT WILL FORCE A SALE OR TOTAL BAN OF TAC INTO THAT FOREIGN AID PACKAGE.

SO LET'S BRING IN FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM BYRD STANDING BY IN TEL AVIV. EVER SINCE JAY O'BRIEN HERE IN WASHINGTON. TOM, FIRST TO YOU. YOU KNOW, HOW SIGNIFICANT IS IT NOW THAT U.S. AND ISRAELI OFFICIALS ARE MEETING OVER.

THAT LOOMING INVASION OF THAT CITY OF RAQQA, WHICH YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR WEEKS, WHERE SO MANY PALESTINIANS HAVE GONE FOR SOME MEASURE OF SAFETY? >> YEAH, I THINK IT'S INTERESTING, IF NOT SURPRISING, THAT JUST A MATTER.

OF DAYS, TERRY, AFTER THAT IRANIAN STRIKE ON ISRAEL, ATTENTION IS ALREADY FLIPPING BACK TO THE WAR IN GAZA AND WE'VE GOT THIS US AND ISRAELI MEETING HAPPENING TODAY WHERE THEY'RE DISCUSSING ISRAEL'S INTENTION TO LAUNCH THAT GROUND OFFENSIVE INTO.

REMEMBER, ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PALESTINIANS ARE PACKED INTO THAT AREA OF SOUTHERN GAZA. AND ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAYING THAT PLANS UNDERWAY TO PREPARE FOR AN EVACUATION OF UP TO 800000 TO 1000000 DISPLACED PALESTINIANS TO AN AREA.

OF THERE, AN AREA WHERE ISRAEL IS PREPARING TENSE SEWAGE PIPING WATER SUPPLY. A U.S. OFFICIAL AFTER THAT MEETING, THOUGH, EMPHASIZING TO ABC NEWS THAT THE US IS AGAINST FORCED DISPLACEMENT OF PALESTINIANS. THE OPERATION WE UNDERSTAND.

FROM AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL WILL NOT START FOR A MATTER OF WEEKS AND WELL, IT WON'T START FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO ACTUALLY START MOVING THOSE CIVILIANS AND THE OPERATION TO ACTUALLY MOVE THEM. IF IT CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. PEOPLE ARE QUESTIONING THAT,.

INCLUDING AID AGENCIES WOULD TAKE WEEKS. ALL RIGHT. AND TOM, WHAT'S YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THESE NEW U.S. SANCTIONS ON IRAN? WELL, I MEAN, THEY'RE DESIGNED TO TARGET SPECIFICALLY IRAN'S DRONE PROGRAM.

WE SAW ABOUT 170 OF THESE DRONES. THEY'RE HUGE KIND OF MINI AIRCRAFT, UNCREWED THAT GOT A MASSIVE WARHEAD AT THE FRONT. THEY WERE FIRED AT ISRAEL SUCCESSFULLY BY THE US AND ITS ALLIES AND ISRAEL ON SATURDAY. BUT, YOU KNOW, THESE SANCTIONS.

ARE TRYING TO LIMIT THE KIND OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT IRANIAN COMPANIES INVOLVED IN THAT PROGRAM CAN ACCESS. BUT THESE DRONES HAVE BEEN BEING USED IN THE WAR IN UKRAINE FOR, YOU KNOW, THE BEST PART OF TWO YEARS TO DEADLY EFFECT BY THE RUSSIANS.

AND WE'VE LOOKED AT THEM UP CLOSE, THE REMNANTS OF THOSE DRONES. THE UKRAINIANS HAVE SHOWED THEM TO STEP BACK FULL OF COMPONENTS FROM WESTERN COMPANIES, INCLUDING COMPONENTS MADE BY COMPANIES. UP UNTIL NOW, SANCTIONS.

HAVE NOT MADE MUCH A DIFFERENCE. FOR DECADES, THEY HAVE MADE ECONOMIC DIFFERENCE. BUT WE'LL SEE WHETHER THESE WILL DETER IRAN ON THIS. JAKE, TO YOU. ON CAPITOL HILL, LAWMAKERS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

TODAY TO DISCUSS A NEW FOREIGN AID PACKAGE FOR ISRAEL, FOR UKRAINE, WHICH HAS BEEN A STICKING POINT. BUT NOW THEY'VE THEY'VE KIND STAPLED A BAN ON TIC TAC INTO ALL THIS. WHAT'S WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? THERE WAS SO MUCH TO UNPACK.

HERE, TERRY. FIRST THING. SO THERE ARE FOUR BILLS THAT INCLUDE AID FOR UKRAINE AND ISRAEL AND TAIWAN. THEN THERE'S A FOURTH BILL INSIDE. THAT FOURTH BILL IS A PROVISION THAT WOULD TRY TO A SALE OF.

TIKTOK THAT HAS GOTTEN SUPPORT AMONGST LAWMAKERS IN THE HOUSE BEFORE, BUT IT'S STALLED IN THE SENATE NOW, IF THE SENATE WANTS TO TAKE UP THOSE EIGHT BILLS, THE FACTS OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON YOUR SCREEN, IF THIS IS ALL PACKAGED TOGETHER AND DOES PASS, THEY'D.

ALSO HAVE TO TAKE UP THAT TICK TOCK LEGISLATION. THAT'S ONE FACTOR OF THIS AND OTHER FACTORS MIGHT. JOHNSON IS IN THE FIGHT OF HIS POLITICAL LIFE TO GET THOSE AID BILLS AND THAT TIKTOK LEGISLATION OVER THE GOAL AND PASSED IN HIS CHAMBER HARD.

LINE REPUBLICANS SAY THEY FEEL THEY DON'T HAVE TRUST IN HIM ANYMORE BECAUSE OF HIS PROPOSAL ADVANCE THIS UKRAINE AID AND BECAUSE THEY SAY HE DIDN'T PUT ON ANY KIND OF HARD LINE BORDER SECURITY PROVISIONS INTO THIS PACKAGE. I WANT TO PLAY YOU SOME SOUND.

OF ONE THAT I TALKED WITH EARLIER, ELI CRANE. HERE'S WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THE SPEAKER RIGHT NOW. >> YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE AN INTEGRITY PROBLEM WHEN WE TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THE BORDER IS THE HILL TO DIE.

ON BORDER AND BORDER, BORDER. AND THEN WE SEE MORE OF STATUS QUO, MORE OF SAME IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND INTEGRITY PROBLEM IS WHAT HE JUST SAID THERE. NOW, THERE ARE MODERATE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE FED WITH THE HARD LINERS WHO ARE.

AGAINST JOHNSON AND ALL OF THIS, TOO. BUT CASE IN POINT, THERE IS A TEED UP FIGHT HERE ON THE FLOOR. THAT'S GOING TO PLAY OUT BETWEEN HARDLINE REPUBLICANS AND SPEAKER JOHNSON AS THEY TRY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO THROW.

UP SOME PROCEDURAL ROADBLOCKS AND TRY TO STOP FROM PASSING THIS LEGISLATION. >> TERRY IS REALLY DRAMATIC MOMENT. THEY'RE ON FOR ISRAEL AND FOR UKRAINE COURSE. TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE JAY O'BRIEN, THANKS VERY MUCH.

>> NOW HERE BACK HOME, POLITICS IN MORE THAN A DOZEN MEMBERS OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY HAVE PUBLICLY ENDORSED PRESIDENT BIDEN'S REELECTION, DESPITE ROBERT F JUNIOR'S OWN INDEPENDENT RUN FOR OFFICE. >> I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW DONALD TRUMP'S OUTRAGEOUS.

LIVES AND BEHAVIOR WOULD HAVE HORRIFIED MY SENATOR ROBERT KENNEDY, WHO PROUDLY, AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES AND HONORED HIS PLEDGE TO UPHOLD THE LAW AND PROTECT THE COUNTRY. DADDY STOOD FOR EQUAL JUSTICE, FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM.

FROM WANT AND FEAR, JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN DOES TODAY. >> KENNEDY, OF COURSE, IS THE SON, SENATOR ROBERT F KENNEDY AND THE NEPHEW OF FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY. PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE POLITICALLY FAMOUS FAMILY. THEY'VE BEEN CRITICAL OF ROBERT.

F KENNEDY JUNIOR'S CANDIDACY THIS YEAR FROM THE BEGINNING. BUT POLL WATCHERS SAY A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE WITH A POPULAR DEMOCRATIC LAST NAME, WELL, IT COULD HURT JOE BIDEN. >> CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL JOINS US NOW FOR MORE JOHN.

>> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS ENDORSEMENT, BOTH POLITICALLY AND ALMOST OF THE PERSONAL DRAMA THAT'S GOING ON THERE, TOO? >> WELL, FIRST, A DISCLOSURE. I'VE KNOWN BOBBY KENNEDY FOR 30 YEARS. I COUNT SOME OF HIS BROTHERS.

AND SISTERS, COUSINS ALONG, VERY GOOD FRIENDS OF MINE. SO I'VE KNOWN I'VE KNOWN THEM QUITE WELL. BUT THIS IS NOT SURPRISING IN THE LEAST THAT THEY HAVE COME OUT IN JOE BIDEN, JOE BIDEN IN THE OVAL OFFICE. IF YOU LOOK BEHIND THE RESOLUTE.

DESK, YOU WILL SEE A BUST OF ROBERT F KENNEDY. THEY THEY SEE ROBERT F YOU KNOW, HE SEES ROBERT F. KENNEDY AS AN INSPIRATION IN HIS POLITICAL CAREER. HAS FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS. AND THEY SEE IN JOE BIDEN, FRIEND AND A POLITICAL ALLY.

>> BUT THE MERE FACT THAT BIDEN FELT IT WAS NECESSARY TO DO THIS SHOWS THAT HE'S WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF BOBBY KENNEDY AS A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE ON ON THIS RACE. HE COULD PULL ENOUGH VOTES AWAY TO EFFECT ELECTION. >> THERE'S NO QUESTION.

ABOUT THAT. THEY SEE THIS AS A REAL THREAT. YEAH, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A CLOSE ELECTION. >> YOU KNOW, YOU THINK OF AL GORE AND RALPH NADER, THINK OF JILL STEIN AND HILLARY CLINTON. >> IT CAN DO CAN TURN.

ELECTIONS. SO HOW VOTERS LOOK AT KENNEDY COMING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, TO ENDORSE JOE BIDEN IS THE NAME STILL HAVE A RESONANCE AND A POWER TO TO MATTER? >> WELL, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE ON THE SUBSTANCE, IT'S ON THE POLITICAL PLATFORM.

ISSUE OF F KENNEDY JR. HAS PROBABLY MORE IN COMMON WITH WITH DONALD TRUMP THAN HE DOES JOE BIDEN. YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN FIRMLY OPPOSED TO THE COVID VACCINE. HE HAS I OPENLY WONDERED WHETHER OR NOT BIDEN OR TRUMP WOULD POSE A GREATER.

THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, SUGGESTING THAT BIDEN MAY POSE A GREATER THREAT. HE IS SOMEBODY WHO STEVE BANNON ,YOU KNOW, TRUMP'S KIND OF A PHILOSOPHICAL LEADER, IF YOU WILL. I LOVE I MEAN THAT AND SPEAKS GLOWINGLY ABOUT ABOUT.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY REGULARLY AND HAD BEEN PUSHING FOR FOR TRUMP TO PICK AS HIS RUNNING MATE. BUT THAT NAME THAT MEME STILL DOES HAVE A PULL AMONG DEMOCRATS. AND I THINK WHAT THE CONCERN IS GOING INTO VOTING BOOTH.

AND SEEING THE NAME ROBERT KENNEDY JR. IS SOMETHING MAYBE NOT DOESN'T NEED TO BE THAT MANY, BUT COULD PULL ENOUGH DEMOCRATS AWAY WHO MAYBE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BOBBY KENNEDY ACTUALLY STANDS FOR. BUT SEE THAT NAME AS A NAME.

THAT THEY LIKE AND A NAME THAT THEY HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF. CHECKING THAT BOX INSTEAD OF BIDEN. >> YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT POINT. >> BIDEN'S WORST NIGHTMARE, ONE OF THEM. JON KARL, CHIEF WASHINGTON.

UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK ARE CURRENTLY BEING HANDCUFFED AND PLACED IN NYPD BUSES AFTER COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT AUTHORIZED POLICE TO CLEAR THE CAMPUS. PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS ARE DEMAND ING THE UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES CUT.

ALL FUNDING TIES WITH WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS WHO SUPPLY ISRAEL. ALL WHILE DOZENS OF PRO-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATORS HAVE ALSO GATHERED NEAR CAMPUS FOLLOWING TESTIMONY FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT, MANU SHAFIK, BEFORE A HOUSE COMMITTEE OVER.

THE SCHOOL'S HANDLING OF ANTI-SEMITISM. FOR MORE EPISODES. MORGAN NORWOOD IS RIGHT OUTSIDE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WITH THE LATEST ALL DAY. MORGAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. SO, PROTESTERS, WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE?.

I KNOW THE POLICE WERE CALLED. WHAT'S THE LATEST? >> I'LL TELL YOU, IT'S BEEN A DAY I'VE BEEN WITH YOU ALL DAY HERE, ALL RATHER. YOU KNOW, AT THE LAST HOUR, WE SHOWED YOU THE HORDES OF PEOPLE THAT WERE THIS CROSSWALK NEAR THE UNIVERSITY.

THEY HAVE SINCE MARCHED AND MOVED OUT THOSE BUSES THAT WE ALSO SHOWED YOU FOR THE STUDENTS THAT NYPD HAD BEEN AUTHORIZED TO CLEAR OUT FROM THE UNIVERSITY SOUTH LAWN. AND THEY'VE BEEN SINCE TAKEN AND HAULED OFF TO JAIL. OF COURSE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE.

CHARGED AND RELEASED HERE PRETTY SOON. BUT WHAT WE UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHY THE STUDENTS DISPERSED. THEY WENT BACK TO THE SOUTH LAWN. SO THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE REMOVED.

ONCE AGAIN. I MEAN, THOSE ORDERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT TO HAVE THEM REMOVED, TO TAKE OUT THOSE ENCAMPMENTS THAT STANDS. I MEAN, WE HEARD HER TALK ABOUT TRYING TO RECONCILE THAT DELICATE BALANCE OF ALLOWING FREE SPEECH,.

BUT SHE GAVE SEVERAL WARNINGS, SAYS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THEM TO DISPERSE, SAYING THAT THAT ENCAMPMENT, RATHER, AT ALL OF THOSE TENTS THAT WE SAW WERE A VIOLATION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S POLICY. BUT CERTAINLY YOU SAW SOME PRETTY TENSE MOMENTS OUT.

HERE WITH, YOU KNOW, THE HUNDREDS OF DEMONSTRATORS AND THEN SUPPORTERS OF THOSE WHO WERE ARRESTED AND BEING HELD ON THOSE BUSES. THEY WERE CHANTING. THEY HAD THEIR FLAGS. AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE VIDEO OF THAT AS WELL.

BUT, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY AS. WHAT'S BEEN RATHER OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN HOW THE EVENTS UNFOLDED AND IN THE PAST OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS, JERRY AND AS I NOTED, AS YOU'VE BEEN REPORTING, THERE ARE PROTESTS ON BOTH OF THIS.

EMOTIONAL AND POLARIZING ISSUE. HOW ARE COLUMBIA AND OTHER UNIVERSITIES WALKING THIS FINE LINE? YOU KNOW WITH EMOTIONS RUNNING SO HIGH? YEAH, I THINK YOU PRETTY MUCH HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD HERE. IT IS REALLY A FINE LINE.

THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE NOTE THE LETTER THAT THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SET OUT TODAY, JUST KIND OF OUTLINING THE REASON SHE REALLY BASICALLY SPELLED OUT THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A LAST RESORT TO TO REMOVE THOSE ENCAMPMENTS FROM FROM CAMPUS.

AND SHE SAYS THAT SHE SHE WANTED TO GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO, EXPRESS THEIR BELIEFS, THEIR CONCERNS, YOU KNOW, EVEN THEIR OUTRAGE UNDER FREE SPEECH. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SHE ALSO ,AS WE HEARD, EVEN HER BEING GRILLED ON CAPITOL HILL, FACES.

TOUGH QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER SHE'S TRULY KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE. AND SO I'D IMAGINE THAT IS JUST A MIRROR OF WHAT HAPPENS FROM. THE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE STUDENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE THAT REALLY WANT TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD.

BUT THEN ALSO, YOU'VE GOT UNIVERSITY SPOT IN THE CROSSHAIRS ABOUT HOW THEY KEEP US SAFE. AT THE SAME TIME AND MAKE SURE THAT THESE CAMPUSES ARE WELCOME, WELCOMING ENVIRONMENTS, VERY SIMILAR. THAT IS A DIFFICULT JOB FOR ANY.

UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL. MORGAN NOR WOULD THERE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK. THANKS FOR BEING THERE. >> WELL, NOW TO A MAJOR INVOLVING FORMER U.S. WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS TEAM DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR.

YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT NAME, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS AGREED TO PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SETTLE CLAIMS, PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY WERE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY THAT SPORTS DOCTOR. AND YET THE FBI FAILED TO INVESTIGATE LEGITIMATE LEADS.

INTO THAT IS THE BASIS OF THAT CLAIM. ABC NEWS CHIEF JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS FOLLOWING THIS STORY AS HE HAS FOR SO MANY YEARS FOR US. PIERRE, START WITH THE BACK STORY HERE. SUCH A TERRIBLE CASE.

HOW DO WE GET. >> WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT? WELL, TERRY, THIS IS ONE OF THE DARKER CHAPTERS IN FBI HISTORY. BOTTOM IS, SEVERAL YEARS AGO IN 2015, ALLEGATIONS WERE BROUGHT TO THE FBI FIELD OFFICE IN INDIANAPOLIS.

AND ALLEGATIONS WERE THAT LARRY NASSAR WAS ASSAULTING THE GYMNASTS WHO WERE PREPARING FOR BE A PART OF THE U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM. AND THE FBI AGENTS DID NOT AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE THOSE ALLEGATIONS AND THEY DID NOT EVEN PASS ALONG THE ALLEGATIONS.

TO THE LOCAL JURISDICTION IN MICHIGAN, WHERE LARRY NASSAR ACTUALLY WAS WORKING ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. SO FOR 14 MONTHS, NOTHING ADDITIONAL WAS DONE. AND IN PERIOD OF TIME, ACCORDING TO A DOJ INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT, AT LEAST.

70 MORE WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS WERE MOLESTED BY LARRY NASSAR, WHO IS CURRENTLY SERVING BASICALLY WHAT AMOUNTS TO LIFE SENTENCE FOR THIS ACTIVITY. THE SETTLEMENT IS IN THE FINAL OF BEING APPROVED. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GOING TO THE.

VICTIMS, 100 VICTIMS IDENTIFIED BY DOJ. THEY HAVE DECIDED ON YET A FIRM NUMBER, BUT THIS IS IN THE FINAL AND HEADED TOWARD SOME SORT OF REMEDY FOR THESE YOUNG WOMEN. BUT CLEARLY, TERRY, THE WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH, NO AMOUNT.

A DANGEROUS ICE STORM IS IMPACTING THE MORNING COMMUTE. WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY? ESCALATING TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT? THE MIGRANT CRISIS, FAST, STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH SOMEONE.

IN BETWEEN THAT IS BILLIONAIRES. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. THE MOVE STARTED CHEATING A DOG FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AMERICA. THIS MORNING AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS.

>> WHAT HOWEVER WHAT I'M TERRY MORAN AND YOU'RE WATCHING ABC NEWS LIVE. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD CRIMINAL TRIAL. IT'S BACK ON NOW FOLLOWING THE LUNCH BREAK AND WHILE THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG IN THIS CASE WE'VE SEEN A NUMBER.

OF ISSUES DURING. JURY SELECTION TODAY ONLY FIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN SEATED SO FAR AFTER TWO WERE EXCUSED EARLIER THIS SEVEN OF DEAD. NOW THERE ARE SEVEN ADDITIONAL JURORS ARE STILL NEEDED FOR THIS CASE, ALONG WITH SIX ALTERNATES.

A REMINDER HERE, DONALD IS FACING MULTIPLE FELONY COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN ORDER TO HIDE HIS ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH A PORN STAR, STORMY DANIELS, BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. THAT'S THE CASE. WE'VE GOT TEAM COVERAGE.

SENIOR REPORTER, LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE. SO, KATHERINE, FIRST TO YOU. AFTER THE LUNCH BREAK, QUESTIONING THE 18 PROSPECTIVE JURORS THAT WHAT DO WE KNOW? >> YES, WE KNOW THAT THESE JURORS ARE GETTING QUESTIONED.

BY THE MANHATTAN D.A. PROSECUTOR FROM THAT OFFICE. AND, OF COURSE, TRUMP'S DEFENSE LAWYERS, THEY'RE GOING THROUGH VARIOUS DIFFERENT LINES OF QUESTIONING WHETHER THEY HAVE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT, THE FORMER PRESIDENT, WHETHER OR NOT THEY DISAGREE OR.

AGREE WITH HIM OR POST SOCIAL MEDIA, FOR EXAMPLE. OUR LATEST REPORTING OUTSIDE OF THE COURTROOM THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM OUR PETER CHARALAMBOUS IS THAT ONE OF THE JURORS SAID THAT THEY DISAGREE WITH MOST OF TRUMP'S POLICY ISSUES, FOR.

EXAMPLE. SO THAT'S THE TYPE OF COMMENTS YOU'RE HEARING THESE JURORS AS THEY'RE FACING, QUESTIONING WHETHER IT'S FROM THE D.A., WHETHER IT'S FROM THE LAWYERS. BUT, LOOK, AS YOU JUST OPENED THIS UP, WE ONLY HAVE FIVE JURORS SEATED NO MORE.

WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY ADDITIONAL ONES TODAY. WE'VE ONLY LOST TWO IN THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY. SO WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THE REST OF THIS GOES. BUT LOOK, I DON'T KNOW YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE WHEN ULTIMATELY THIS JURY.

IS FULLY SEATED. YOU MENTIONED WE NEED SOME MORE. WE NEED 12 JURORS AND SIX ALTERNATES. >> ALL RIGHT, KATHERINE FAULDERS. THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS. >> BRIAN, YOU'VE DONE THIS.

PLENTY. HOW DOES IT LOOK TO YOU? JURY SELECTION SO FAR IN THIS CASE, IT LOOKS PRETTY NORMAL. I MEAN, OUTSIDE OF THE FACT THAT WE HAD SEVEN AND NOW EVEN BACK TO FIVE, THAT'S SOMEWHAT OF RARITY. THAT'S NOT A VERY COMMON.

SITUATION. I THINK FOR MOST DEFENSE ATTORNEYS AND PROSECUTORS AND PROBABLY JUDGES AS WELL. THE WORRY IS WILL THE REST OF THE PANEL, ESPECIALLY THOSE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SWORN IN. START TO GET WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE A.

FAMILY MEMBERS OR PEOPLE STARTED TEXTING YOU OR MAYBE DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS THE RIGHT WAY YOU COULD GET OFF AS WELL BECAUSE AS THIS TO BECOME MORE AND MORE OF A CIRCUS AND PEOPLE I THINK, AS YOU SAID EARLIER ON IN TALKING.

ABOUT THIS CASE, THEY HAVE LIVES TO LIVE. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE ALL OF THIS TIME OUT OF THEIR LIVES AND POSSIBLY SCRUTINIZE AS TO WHAT THE VERDICT IS AT THE END OF THE DAY. THE WORRY FOR ME AND WHAT STICKS IS COULD WE LOSE MORE?.

>> I DON'T KNOW. AND I DON'T HAVE A MAGIC BALL HERE. BUT THAT'S DEFINITELY A WORRY FOR SURE. I MEAN, A LOT OF PEOPLE BE RELUCTANT TO SERVE ON THIS JURY, AS YOU POINT OUT, WHICH MAY BE FOR THEM MAYBE.

THEY SHOULD, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE WANT TO BE ON THE JURY. KATHERINE, I GUESS THERE ARE FIVE JURORS CURRENTLY SEATED, AS WE'VE SAID. SO TRUST HOPING TO GET A TRIAL STARTED. ACTUALLY MONDAY, GO OVER.

THE SCHEDULE HERE AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF THAT HAPPENING. >> WELL, WHAT'S THE LIKELIHOOD THERE? YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE HERE. >> IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD HAVE A JURY MAYBE CLOSE TO A FULL JURY BY TOMORROW INTO.

,EARLY NEXT WEEK. >> THE JUDGE HAS OBVIOUSLY SAID TO SOME OF THESE JURORS TO BE PREPARED TO COME BACK NEXT WEEK. IT'S CLEAR THAT THEY WANT TO BEGIN OPENING STATEMENTS THAT THE JUDGE TO GET TO OPENING STATEMENTS NEXT WEEK.

BUT AGAIN, WHO KNOWS, DIDN'T GO INTO TODAY EXPECTING TO LOSE TWO OF THOSE JURORS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF OUTSTANDING FACTORS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING. PEOPLE ARE POTENTIALLY RELUCTANT TO SERVE ON THESE JURIES.

AT 60, IT'S A 6 TO 8 WEEK TRIAL. THERE IS OTHER OBLIGATION AND COMMITMENTS THAT THAT PEOPLE HAVE. SO I'M NOT SURE I WILL SAY THAT TALKING TO SOURCES, AT LEAST CLOSE TO TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM, BELIEVE THAT THEY COULD.

A JURY POTENTIALLY MAYBE AS SOON AS TOMORROW. >> BUT WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE. >> AND BRIAN, WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY GO THROUGH ALL THE PROSPECTIVE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ENOUGH CANDIDATES? IS THAT EVER HAPPEN? AND COULD IT HAPPEN HERE?.

IT'S NEVER HAPPENED. AND I LAUGH BECAUSE THIS IS THE EXACT QUESTION THAT MY FATHER, WHO WHO LIVES IN TORONTO, CANADA, ASKED ME IS MY ANSWER TO YOU AND TO MY FATHER WAS THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MANHATTAN. AND I THINK WHAT'S GOING.

TO HAPPEN IS WE'RE JUST IN I KEEP GOING THROUGH THE ROSTER OF PEOPLE UNTIL WE GET A PANEL AND WE WILL PROBABLY SEE IS THE JUDGE MAYBE PUSHING A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TOWARDS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO SET OFF IN TIMES WHEN I'M IN JURY SELECTION.

AND WHAT I'VE SEEN ALSO IN OTHER CASES IS WHEN THE POTENTIAL JUROR SAYS, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T THINK I COULD BE HERE. THE JUDGE BEING BIGGEST PERSON IN THE COURTROOM, EVEN BIGGER THAN DONALD TRUMP IN A CRIMINAL PROCEEDING, SAYS, YOU KNOW,.

ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN'T BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL? >> WHAT IF WE TRY THIS AND WHAT IF WE TRY THAT? AND OFTENTIMES YOU'LL SEE A JUROR AND SAY, YOU KNOW, I WILL AGREE WITH YOU, YOUR HONOR, AND PEOPLE WANT TO BE AGREEABLE WITH THE JUDGE.

AND SO WE MIGHT SEE A JUDGE PARTICIPATE A LITTLE BIT MORE HEAVILY IN THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS TO TRY TO PUSH US OVER THE FINISH LINE . THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY I THINK HE'S ALSO POSTPONE THAT CONTEMPT HEARING FOR.

DONALD TRUMP, BECAUSE HE REALLY WANTS A JURY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> ABSOLUTELY. A VERY CHALLENGING CASE. AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF IT. >> KATHERINE FAULDERS. BRIAN BUTLER, THANKS.

>> OVERSEAS NOW, THE UNITED STATES IS IMPOSING A NEW ROUND OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN. THIS COMES AS U.S. LOOKS TO PUNISH TEHRAN FOR LAST WEEKEND'S MASSIVE ATTACK ON ISRAEL. AND THESE SANCTIONS, TARGET, ENGINE MANUFACTURE AND IRANIAN.

DRONES, HUNDREDS OF WHICH WERE USED IN THAT ATTACK. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS, THESE SANCTIONS WILL HOLD IRAN ACCOUNTABLE, HELP DESTABILIZE THE COUNTRY'S PROGRAMS. THAT'S THE CLAIM. ISRAEL, MEANWHILE, SAYS IT'S STILL WEIGHING OWN.

RESPONSE TO THE ATTACK, WHILE ALSO MEETING WITH SENIOR OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS A POTENTIAL MILITARY OPERATION IN THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE SO MANY REFUGEES HAVE FLED. >> ON THE MEANWHILE, HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.,.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS MEETING TODAY TO DISCUSS A NEW FOREIGN AID BILL TO HELP ISRAEL AND HELP. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, HOWEVER, HAS DRAWN CRITICISM AFTER BUNDLING THAT BILL WITH ONE THAT WILL FORCE THE SALE OR TOTAL BAN OF TIKTOK INTO THAT FOREIGN AID PACKAGE.

SO LET'S BRING IN FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI, BYRD STANDING BY IN TEL AVIV. EVER SINCE JAY O'BRIEN HERE IN WASHINGTON, FIRST TO YOU. YOU KNOW, HOW SIGNIFICANT IS IT NOW THAT THE AND ISRAELI OFFICIALS ARE MEETING OVER THAT LOOMING INVASION OF THAT.

CITY OF RAQQA, WHICH YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR WEEKS, WHERE SO MANY PALESTINIANS HAVE GONE FOR SOME MEASURE OF SAFETY? >> YEAH, I THINK IT'S INTERESTING. IT'S NOT SURPRISING EVEN JUST A MATTER OF DAYS, TERRY, AFTER.

THAT IRANIAN STRIKE ON ISRAEL, ATTENTION IS ALREADY FLIPPING BACK TO THE WAR IN GAZA AND GOT THIS US AND ISRAELI MEETING HAPPENING TODAY WHERE THEY'RE DISCUSSING ISRAEL'S INTENTION TO LAUNCH THAT GROUND OFFENSIVE INTO RAFAH. REMEMBER, ABOUT A MILLION AND A.

HALF PALESTINIANS ARE PACKED INTO THAT AREA OF SOUTHERN GAZA. AND ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAYING THAT PLANS UNDERWAY TO PREPARE FOR AN EVACUATION OF UP TO 800000 TO 1000000 DISPLACED PALESTINIANS TO AN AREA NORTH THERE, AN AREA WHERE ISRAEL IS.

PREPARING TENSE SEWAGE PIPING, WATER PIPING. A U.S. OFFICIAL OF THAT MEETING, THOUGH, EMPHASIZING TO ABC NEWS THAT THE US IS AGAINST THE FORCED DISPLACEMENT OF PALESTINIANS. THE OPERATION WE UNDERSTAND FROM AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL.

WILL NOT START FOR A MATTER OF WEEKS AND WELL, IT WON'T START FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO ACTUALLY START MOVING THOSE AND THE OPERATION TO ACTUALLY MOVE THEM. IF IT CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. MANY PEOPLE ARE QUESTIONING THAT, INCLUDING AID AGENCIES.

WOULD TAKE WEEKS. >> ALL RIGHT. AND TOM, WHAT'S YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THESE NEW U.S. SANCTIONS ON IRAN? WELL, I MEAN, THEY'RE DESIGNED TO TARGET SPECIFICALLY DRONE PROGRAM. WE SAW ABOUT 170 OF THESE.

DRONES. THEY'RE HUGE KIND OF MINI AIRCRAFT, UNCREWED. THEY'VE GOT A MASSIVE WARHEAD AT THE FRONT. THEY WERE FIRED AT ISRAEL SUCCESSFULLY DOWN THE U.S. AND ITS ALLIES AND ISRAEL ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THESE SANCTIONS ARE TRYING TO LIMIT THE KIND OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT IRANIAN COMPANIES INVOLVED IN THAT PROGRAM CAN ACCESS. BUT MANY DRONES HAVE BEEN BEING USED IN THE WAR IN UKRAINE FOR, YOU KNOW, THE BEST PART OF TWO YEARS TO.

DEADLY EFFECT BY THE RUSSIANS. AND WE'VE LOOKED THEM UP CLOSE, THE REMNANTS OF THOSE DRONES. THE UKRAINIANS HAVE SHOWED THEM PACKED FULL OF COMPONENTS FROM WESTERN COMPANIES, INCLUDING COMPONENTS MADE BY AMERICAN COMPANIES. UP UNTIL NOW, SANCTIONS.

HAVE NOT MADE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE FOR DECADES. THEY HAVE MADE ECONOMIC DIFFERENCE. BUT WE'LL WHETHER THESE WILL DETER IRAN ON THIS. JAKE, TO YOU ON CAPITOL HILL, LAWMAKERS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

MEETING TODAY TO DISCUSS A NEW FOREIGN AID PACKAGE FOR ISRAEL, FOR UKRAINE, WHICH HAS BEEN A STICKING POINT. BUT NOW THEY'VE THEY'VE KIND OF STAPLED A BAN ON TICK TOCK INTO ALL THIS. >> WHAT'S WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? THERE WAS SO MUCH TO UNPACK.

HERE, TERRY. FIRST THING. SO THERE ARE FOUR BILLS THAT INCLUDE AID FOR UKRAINE AND ISRAEL AND TAIWAN. THEN THERE'S A FOURTH BILL INSIDE. THAT FOURTH BILL IS A PROVISION THAT WOULD TRY TO FORCE A SALE.

OF TICK TOCK THAT HAS GOTTEN SUPPORT AMONGST LAWMAKERS IN THE HOUSE BEFORE, BUT IT'S STALLED IN THE SENATE. NOW, IF SENATE WANTS TO TAKE UP THOSE EIGHT BILLS, THE FACTS OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON YOUR SCREEN, IF THIS IS ALL PACKAGED TOGETHER AND DOES PASS, THEY'D.

ALSO HAVE TO TAKE UP TIKTOK LEGISLATION. THAT'S ONE FACTOR OF THIS AND OTHER FACTORS. MIKE JOHNSON IS IN THE FIGHT OF HIS POLITICAL LIFE TO GET AID BILLS AND THAT TIKTOK LEGISLATION OVER THE GOAL LINE PASSED IN HIS CHAMBER.

HARD LINE REPUBLICANS SAY THEY FEEL THEY DON'T HAVE TRUST IN HIM ANYMORE BECAUSE OF HIS PROPOSAL ADVANCE THIS UKRAINE AID AND BECAUSE THEY SAY HE DIDN'T PUT ON ANY KIND OF HARD LINE BORDER SECURITY PROVISIONS INTO THIS PACKAGE. I WANT TO PLAY YOU SOME SOUND.

OF ONE THAT I TALKED WITH EARLIER, ELI CRANE. HERE'S WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THE SPEAKER RIGHT NOW. >> I THINK WE HAVE AN INTEGRITY PROBLEM WHEN WE TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THE BORDER IS THE HOME TO DIE.

ON BORDER, BORDER, BORDER. AND THEN WE SEE MORE OF STATUS QUO, MORE OF SAME IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AN INTEGRITY IS WHAT HE JUST SAID THERE. NOW, THERE ARE MODERATE REPUBLICANS WHO ARE FED WITH THE HARD LINERS WHO ARE AGAINST JOHNSON IN ALL OF THIS,.

TOO. BUT CASE IN POINT, THERE IS A TEED UP FIGHT HERE ON THE FLOOR. THAT'S GOING TO PLAY OUT BETWEEN HARDLINE REPUBLICANS AND SPEAKER JOHNSON AS THEY TRY OVER NEXT FEW DAYS TO THROW UP SOME PROCEDURAL ROADBLOCKS.

AND TRY TO STOP HIM FROM PASSING THIS LEGISLATION TERRY. >> IT IS REALLY A DRAMATIC MOMENT THERE. AND FOR ISRAEL AND FOR UKRAINE ,COURSE. TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE JAY O'BRIEN, THANKS VERY MUCH. NOW HERE BACK HOME, POLITICS.

IN MORE THAN A DOZEN MEMBERS OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY HAVE PUBLICLY PRESIDENT BIDEN'S REELECTION, DESPITE ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR'S OWN INDEPENDENT RUN FOR OFFICE. >> I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW DONALD TRUMP'S OUTRAGEOUS LIES AND BEHAVIOR WOULD.

HAVE HORRIFIED MY SENATOR ROBERT KENNEDY, WHO PROUDLY SERVED AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS PLEDGE TO UPHOLD THE LAW AND PROTECT THE COUNTRY. DADDY STOOD FOR EQUAL JUSTICE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM FROM WANT AND FEAR.

JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN DOES TODAY. >> KENNEDY, OF COURSE, IS THE SON OF SENATOR ROBERT F KENNEDY AND THE NEPHEW OF FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY. PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE POLITICALLY FAMOUS FAMILY. THEY'VE BEEN CRITICAL OF ROBERT.

F KENNEDY JR'S CANDIDACY THIS YEAR FROM THE BEGINNING. BUT POLL WATCHERS SAY A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE WITH A POPULAR LAST NAME, WELL, IT COULD HURT JOE BIDEN. >> CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL JOINS NOW FOR MORE JOHN.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS ENDORSEMENT, BOTH POLITICALLY, ALL THIS KIND OF PERSONAL DRAMA THAT'S GOING ON THERE, TOO? >> WELL, FIRST DISCLOSURE, I'VE KNOWN BOBBY KENNEDY FOR 30 YEARS. I COUNT SOME OF HIS BROTHERS, SISTERS AND COUSINS ALONG, VERY.

GOOD FRIENDS OF MINE. SO I'VE KNOWN I'VE KNOWN THEM QUITE WELL. LOOK, THIS IS NOT SURPRISING IN THE LEAST THAT THEY HAVE COME OUT AND SUPPORTED A JOE BIDEN JOE BIDEN IN THE OVAL OFFICE. IF YOU LOOK BEHIND THE RESOLUTE.

DESK, YOU WILL SEE A BUST OF ROBERT F KENNEDY. THEY THEY SEE ROBERT F YOU KNOW, HE SEES ROBERT F. KENNEDY AS AN INSPIRATION IN HIS POLITICAL CAREER. HAS FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS. AND THEY SEE JOE BIDEN FRIEND AND A POLITICAL ALLY.

>> BUT THE MERE FACT THAT BIDEN FELT IT WAS NECESSARY TO DO THIS SHOWS THAT HE'S WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF BOBBY KENNEDY AS A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE ON ON THIS RACE, HE COULD TEAR ENOUGH VOTES AWAY TO AFFECT THIS ELECTION. >> THERE'S NO QUESTION.

ABOUT THAT. THEY SEE THIS AS A REAL THREAT. YEAH, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A CLOSE ELECTION. YOU KNOW, YOU THINK OF AL GORE AND RALPH NADER, YOU THINK OF JILL STEIN AND HILLARY CLINTON. IT CAN IT CAN TURN.

>> SO HOW VOTERS LOOK AT KENNEDY'S FORWARD, YOU KNOW, TO ENDORSE JOE BIDEN IS THE NAME STILL HAVE A RESONANCE AND A POWER TO TO MATTER? >> WELL, INTERESTING, BECAUSE ON THE SUBSTANCE, ON POLITICAL PLATFORM ISSUE, ROBERT KENNEDY JR HAS PROBABLY IN COMMON.

WITH WITH DONALD TRUMP THAN HE DOES WITH JOE BIDEN. >> YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN FIRMLY OPPOSED TO THE COVID VACCINE. >> HE HAS. I OPENLY WONDERED WHETHER OR NOT BIDEN OR TRUMP WOULD POSE A GREATER THREAT TO DEMOCRACY ARE SUGGESTING THAT BIDEN MAY.

WELL, POSE A GREATER THREAT. >> HE IS SOMEBODY WHO STEVE, YOU KNOW, TRUMP'S KIND OF PHILOSOPHICAL LEADER, IF YOU WILL. I LOVES BANNON, SPEAKS GLOWINGLY ABOUT ABOUT ROBERT F. KENNEDY REGULARLY AND HAD BEEN PUSHING FOR FOR.

TRUMP TO PICK KENNEDY AS HIS RUNNING MATE. BUT THAT NAME THAT NAME STILL DOES HAVE A PULL AMONG DEMOCRATS. AND I THINK WHAT THE CONCERN IS GOING INTO A VOTING BOOTH AND SEEING THE NAME ROBERT KENNEDY JR.

IS SOMETHING MAYBE NOT DOESN'T NEED TO BE THAT MANY BUT COULD PULL ENOUGH DEMOCRATS AWAY WHO MAYBE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BOBBY KENNEDY ACTUALLY STANDS FOR. >> BUT SEE THAT NAME AS A NAME THAT THEY LIKE AND A NAME THAT THEY HAVE FOND MEMORIES.

OF. >> AND CHECKING THAT BOX INSTEAD OF BIDEN. YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT POINT. THAT'S BIDEN'S WORST NIGHTMARE. ONE OF THEM. JON KARL, KEEP CORRESPONDENT AS ALWAYS. >> THANKS VERY MUCH.

I KNOW THE POLICE WERE CALLED. WHAT'S THE LATEST? WELL, TERRY, IT'S BEEN A DAY I'VE BEEN WITH YOU ALL DAY HERE ALL AFTERNOON, RATHER. YOU KNOW, AT THE LAST HOUR WE SHOWED YOU THE HORDES OF PEOPLE THAT WERE BLOCKING THIS CROSSWALK NEAR THE UNIVERSITY.

THEY HAVE SINCE MARCHED ON AND MOVED OUT THOSE BUSES THAT WE ALSO SHOWED YOU FOR THE STUDENTS THAT NYPD HAD BEEN AUTHORIZED TO CLEAR OUT FROM THE UNIVERSITY SOUTH LAWN. THEY'VE BEEN SINCE TAKEN AND HAULED OFF JAIL. OF COURSE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE.

CHARGED AND RELEASED HERE PRETTY SOON. BUT WHAT UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHY THE STUDENTS DISPERSE. THEY WENT BACK TO THE SOUTH LAWN. SO THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE REMOVED. ONCE AGAIN, I MEAN, THOSE.

ORDERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT TO HAVE THEM REMOVED, TO TAKE OUT THOSE ENCAMPMENTS THAT STILL STANDS. I MEAN, WE HEARD HER TALK ABOUT TRYING TO RECONCILE AND THAT DELICATE BALANCE OF ALLOWING FREE SPEECH. BUT SHE GAVE SEVERAL WARNINGS,.

SHE SAID OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS FOR DENTISTS TO DISPERSE, SAYING THAT THAT ENCAMPMENT, RATHER, ALL OF THOSE TENTS THAT WE SAW WERE A VIOLATION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S POLICY. BUT CERTAINLY YOU SAW SOME PRETTY TENSE MOMENTS OUT.

HERE WITH, YOU KNOW, THE HUNDREDS DEMONSTRATORS AND THEN SUPPORTERS OF THOSE WHO WERE ARRESTED AND BEING HELD THOSE BUSES. THEY WERE CHANTING. THEY HAD THEIR FLAGS. AND I KNOW WE HAVE VIDEO OF THAT AS WELL.

BUT, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY A SPLIT SCREEN, RATHER, OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN HOW THE EVENTS FOLDED AND IN THE PAST OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS, JERRY AND MORGAN, AS I NOTED, AS YOU'VE BEEN REPORTING THERE, ARE PROTESTS ON BOTH SIDES.

OF THIS EMOTIONAL AND POLARIZING ISSUE. HOW ARE COLUMBIA AND OTHER UNIVERSITIES WALKING THIS FINE LINE, YOU KNOW, WITH EMOTIONS RUNNING SO HIGH? YEAH, I THINK YOU PRETTY MUCH HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD HERE. IT IS REALLY A FINE LINE.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE NOTE, THE LETTER THAT THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SET OUT TODAY, JUST KIND OF OUTLINING REASONING. AND SHE REALLY BASICALLY SPELLED OUT THE FACT THAT THIS WAS THE LAST RESORT TO TO REMOVE THOSE ENCAMPMENTS FROM.

FROM CAMPUS AND SAYS THAT SHE SHE WANTED TO GIVE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR BELIEFS, THEIR CONCERNS, YOU KNOW, EVEN THEIR OUTRAGE UNDER FREE SPEECH. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, ALSO, AS WE HEARD EVEN HER BEING GRILLED, CAPITOL HILL FACES.

TOUGH QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER SHE'S REALLY KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE. AND SO I'D IMAGINE THAT IS JUST A MIRROR OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. I MEAN, THERE ARE STUDENTS I KNOW SIDES OF THE ISSUE THAT REALLY WANT TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD.

BUT THEN ALSO, YOU'VE UNIVERSITIES CAUGHT IN THE CROSSHAIRS ABOUT HOW THEY KEEP US SAFE AT THE SAME TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE CAMPUSES ARE WELCOME, WELCOMING JERRY. >> SO THAT IS A DIFFICULT JOB FOR ANY UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL.

MORGAN NORWOOD THERE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK. THANKS FOR BEING THERE. >> WELL, NOW TO A MAJOR SETTLEMENT INVOLVING FORMER U.S. WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS TEAM DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR. >> YOU MAY REMEMBER NAME.

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS AGREED TO PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SETTLE CLAIMS WITH PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY WERE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED. THAT SPORTS DOCTOR. AND YET THE FBI FAILED TO INVESTIGATE LEGITIMATE LEADS.

AND THAT IS THE BASIS OF THAT CLAIM. ABC NEWS CHIEF JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS FOLLOWING THIS STORY AS HE HAS FOR SO MANY YEARS FOR US HERE. START WITH THE BACK STORY HERE . SUCH A TERRIBLE CASE.

HOW DID WE GET HERE? WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT? WELL, TERRY, THIS IS ONE OF THE DARKER CHAPTERS IN FBI. BOTTOM LINE IS, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, IN 2015, ALLEGATIONS WERE BROUGHT TO THE FBI FIELD OFFICE IN INDIANAPOLIS.

AND THE ALLEGATIONS WERE THAT LARRY NASSAR WAS ASSAULTING THE GYMNASTS WHO WERE PREPARING FOR BE PART OF THE U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM. AND THE FBI AGENTS DID NOT AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE THOSE ALLEGATIONS AND THEY DID NOT EVEN PASS ALONG THE ALLEGATIONS.

TO THE LOCAL JURISDICTION IN MICHIGAN, WHERE LARRY NASSAR WAS WORKING ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. SO FOR 14 MONTHS, NOTHING ADDITIONAL WAS DONE. AND IN PERIOD OF TIME, ACCORDING TO A DOJ INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT, AT LEAST.

70 MORE WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS WERE MOLESTED BY LARRY NASSAR, WHO IS CURRENTLY SERVING BASICALLY WHAT AMOUNTS TO A LIFE SENTENCE FOR THIS ACTIVITY . THE SETTLEMENT IS IN THE FINAL OF BEING APPROVED. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS.

DOLLARS GOING TO THE VICTIMS, 100 VICTIMS IDENTIFIED BY THE DOJ. THEY HAVE NOT DECIDED ON YET A FIRM NUMBER, BUT THIS IS IN THE FINAL AND HEADED TOWARD SOME SORT OF REMEDY FOR THESE YOUNG WOMEN. BUT CLEARLY, TERRY, THE WHAT.

THEY WENT THROUGH, NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IS GOING TO BE A BALM FOR THOSE THOSE WOUNDS. YEAH. AND AS YOU SAY, ONE OF THE DARKER CHAPTERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE FBI, PIERRE THOMAS. BUT ON THIS CASE FOR SO LONG,.

This is not about parents whojust let their kids watch violent movies or play violentvideo games. This is about parents who neglected their sonignored his cries for help and then bought him a gun the firstparents in America to be charged in a school shooting involuntarymanslaughter charges against parents of the shooter at OxfordHigh School who killed 4 students and wounded others.There's a myth that the shooter just snaps. It's just not true.There are always signs. He was.

Crying for help and beingignored. He had pictures of the Target on his bedroom wallshell casings on his nightstand the very toxic turbulentrelationship. Those people are yikes the life they lived wasjust crazy the sex thing and the really terrible things theyhad video of their sexual acts. They purchased that gun for himwith his money and bragged about it being told by a schoolcounselor that he thinks their son's going to kill himself. And they do nothing as soon as Iheard they were called to.

The school that day. The messageis about lol. Don't get caught. Those were very very concerningto me. That's the moment that no juror is going to think.Well, haven't we all been Here's what it is. I got it.They do not seem Job about him having the gun. There was noshot zero zero School leaders aren't created. They're made andit's made over time. You don't get to walk away fromthat you just don't. That's a criminal act. Sins of the parents the crumblytrials the opposite of love is.

>> GREETINGS FROM ARIZONA. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TODAY. >> Eva: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SPEECH YOU GAVE. YOU DISCUSSED THE ABORTION THAT YOU WERE PLANNING TO HAVE THAT YOU HAVE SINCE HAD. WHY DID YOU THINK IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO SHARE YOUR OWN.

PERSONAL STORY? >> WELL, I REALLY WANTED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING PEOPLE ALONG WITH ME. I WAS STILL PREGNANT WHEN I MADE THAT SPEECH. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS OR CURIOSITIES ABOUT ABORTION AND THE PROCESS.

AND I WANTED THEM TO HAVE A WAY IN. I WANTED TO TELL MY STORY AND BRING PEOPLE ALONG WITH ME TO BREAK THROUGH SOME OF THE STIGMA ABOUT WHAT ABORTION CARE LOOKS LIKE AND WHO THE ABORTION PATIENT IS. >> Dr. Jen: SENATOR, YOU WEAR.

MANY HATS. IN ADDITION TO YOUR JOB AS A STATE SENATOR, YOU'RE ALSO A NURSE PRACTITIONER. WITH THAT MEDICAL TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE THAT YOU STILL DO, HOW HAS IT INFORMED YOUR ROLE IN POLITICS AND VICE A VERSA?.

>> I THINK IT'S SO CRITICAL. IT'S GOOD FOR ME TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE I'M AT A CRITICAL CROSSROADS OF THIS DISCUSSION, NOT ONLY AS A MEDICAL PROVIDER AND AS AN ABORTION PATIENT, BUT NOW AS A LAWMAKER. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE CRACKS.

AND THE WAY THAT LAWS IN ARIZONA ARE FAILING PEOPLE. EVERYONE IS TREATED THE SAME IN THE ABORTION CLINIC REGARDLESS OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCE OR WHAT BRINGS THEM THERE. MEDICAL PROVIDERS HAVE NO DISCRETION TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT A PATIENT'S SITUATION AND MAKE.

ACCOMMODATIONS OR MAKE CHANGES TO THE COUNSELING THEY RECEIVE. IT'S NOT ONLY THAT OUR LAWS ARE RESTRICTIVE, BUT THEY DON'T GET PROVIDERS DISCRETION. >> Phil: YESTERDAY ARIZONA STATE DEMOCRATS INTRODUCED A BILL TO STOP THAT ABORTION BAN. LAST NIGHT ON ONE OF OUR OTHER.

PROGRAMS ON ABC, I SPOKE WITH YOUR REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE DAVID COOK. HE TOLD ME HE BELIEVES THIS WILL EVENTUALLY BE REPEALED. ARE YOU HOPEFUL? >> WELL, IF WE DO THE RIGHT THING, THEN IT WILL BE REPEALED. I APPRECIATE THE OPTIMISM.

THE FACTS ARE THAT WE HAVE NOW HAD THIS COME BEFORE US IN THE LEGISLATURE TWICE AND WE HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO GET THREE OUT OF 47 REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS TO VOTE TO EVEN HEAR A BILL TO REPEAL THIS LAW. THAT'S NOT AN ENCOURAGING NUMBER FOR ME.

BUT WHAT WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN IS THAT 90% OF ARIZONIANS JUST FROM POLLING IN THE LAST YEAR DO NOT AGREE WITH A COMPLETE BAN ON ABORTION LIKE THE ONE WE'RE SEEING. IT'S OUR OBLIGATION TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA AND TO REPEAL THIS BAN AND WE SHOULD BE.

DOING IT QUICKLY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA ARE CALLING FOR IT. >> Eva: ARIZONA REPUBLICANS INDICATED THEY MIGHT TRY TO USE A BALLOT INITIATIVE TO KEEP A BAN IN PLACE THERE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? >> WELL, I DO KNOW THERE ARE.

SOME REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO HAVE DISCUSSED A COMPETING BALLOT INITIATIVE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE A SMALL, BUT VERY VOCAL, GROUP OF EXTREMISTS IN THE ARIZONA LEGISLATURE WHO I'M NOT CONFIDENT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO VOTE WITH THEIR REPUBLICAN.

COLLEAGUES FOR ANY BAN ON ABORTION. THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY SUPPORT THE BAN FROM THE 1800s. THEY'RE GOING TO NEED ALL THE REPUBLICANS ON BOARD AND ABLE TO PUT AN INITIATIVE LIKE THAT ON THE BALLOT. I'M NOT CONFIDENT THEY HAVE.

THOSE VOTES. IF THEY DO MANAGE TO GET A COMPETING BALLOT INITIATIVE, I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE INITIATIVE THAT IS THE CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE, THE INITIATIVE OF THE PEOPLE, WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. >> Phil: SENATOR EVA BURCH, WE APPRECIATE IT.

THE LARGEST AT RISK GROUPS, 0 TO 1-YEAR-OLDS. THE THINKING THERE IS ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURE. IN 12 TO 17-YEAR-OLDS MAY BE A CONSEQUENCE OF MENTAL ILLNESS AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE PANDEMIC. I WANT TO BE CHRYSTAL CLEAR.

WE KNOW WE'RE IN AN OPOID EPIDEMIC. WE KNOW PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSES. THESE DRUGS CAUSE RESPIRATORY ARREST. IN NEW YORK CITY THE PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSIONER DECLARED AN OPOID EMERGENCY, RECOMMENDING.

FREE. >> Dr. Jen: IT'S CONTROVERSIAL. THERE'S THIS THEORY CALLED HARM REDUCTION WHERE YOU ACCEPT THAT SOMETHING IS A THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO SAVE LIVES. YOU'RE NOT GIVING SOMEONE PERMISSION.

So listen now to ournew podcast pop culture mom's wherever you get your podcast. They're the most mysteriouscreatures on Earth their masterminds shape shifters.They're just so incredibly alien and yet more like us thanwe ever could have imagined. What.

More do they have to tell us? >>> CAN YOU SEE THAT? CAN YOU SEE THAT? I LET GO OF THE HAMMER OF THE GUN AND THE GUN GOES OFF. >> AT THE MOMENT? >> THAT WAS THE MOMENT THE GUN WENT OFF, YEAH. >> IT WASN'T IN THE SCRIPT FOR.

THE TRIGGER TO BE THE TRIGGER W. I DIDN'T PULL THE TRIGGER. >> YOU NEVER PULLED THE TRIGGERED. >> NO, NO, NO, NO. I WOULD NEVER POINT A GUN AT SOMEBODY AND PULL THE TRIGGER. >> Eva: WELCOME BACK TO “GMA3.” THAT IS ALEC BALDWIN TELLING.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS HE DID NOT PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE SET OF THE FILM “RUST” IN 2021. THE MOVIE'S ARMORER HANNAH GUTIERREZ REED HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO 18 MONTHS IN PRISON. >> Phil: BALDWIN HAS BEEN INDICT AND PLEADED NOT GUILTY.

HE'S DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE START. HE SAID HE WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO LIVE AMMUNITION IN THAT GUN. HIS TRIAL WILL BE IN JULY. JOINING US NOW FOR ANOTHER EDITION OF BETTER CALL BRIAN IS ABC'S NEWS CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE.

BRIAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU. I LOVE WORKING THROUGH LEGAL ISSUES WITH YOU. BALDWIN WAS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. THOSE CHARGES DROPPED. THEN HE WAS INDICTED EARLIER THIS YEAR.

HIS ATTORNEYS ACCUSE THE PROSECUTION OF UNETHICAL DISPARAGEMENT OF ALEC BALDWIN. THE QUESTION IS, WHAT CHANGED? >> WE HAVE TO GO BACK A BIT. CHARGED LIKE HANNAH GUTIERREZ REED FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. JUST ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE.

THE PRELIMINARY HEARING THE PROSECUTION DECIDED TO DROP THE CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE, MEANING THE CASE WAS DISMISSED, BUT THEY CAN BRING IT BACK. THEY WANTED TO DO MORE TESTING ON THE GUN. WHAT WE LEARNED IS THAT THROUGH THE TESTING THE THE GUN WAS.

DAMAGED. THEY HAD TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. NOW THEY SAID THE GUN SEEMED OPERABLE, THAT YOU HAD TO PULL THE TRIGGER FOR IT TO GO OFF. THAT WAS THE MAJOR QUESTION. WOULD THAT MAKE ALEC BALDWIN CULPABLE?.

AFTER PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER, THEY SAID YES. >> Eva: HANNAH GUTIERREZ REED CHARGED WITH INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. SHE RECEIVED 18 MONTHS. THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR PLEADED NO CONTEST AND GOT SIX MONTHS PROBATION.

WHAT COULD ALEC BE LOOKING AT HIMSELF? >> ALEC BALDWIN'S SITUATION IS MORE LIKE HANNAH GUTIERREZ REED. HE'S LOOKING AT A POTENTIAL 18 MONTHS IN PRISON. WE GIVE THE HIGHEST LEVEL BECAUSE THAT'S THE MAX EXPOSURE. NOW THIS ISN'T THEORETICAL.

IT SEEMS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN HANNAH GUTIERREZ REED GET THE MAX OF 18 MONTHS. THE FACTS SEEM TO ALIGN WITH ALEC BALDWIN. THE JUDGE SAID THAT GUTIERREZ REED NEVER SHOWED REMORSE. IF ALEC BALDWIN IS CONVICTED AND HE HAS TO GIVE A STATEMENT, HE.

STILL HAS A CIVIL CASE AND HIS ATTORNEY WILL BE SAYING, DON'T APOLOGIZE, DON'T GO DOWN THAT RABBIT HOLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CIVIL CASE. SAY WHAT YOU CAN TO NOT SHOW YOU'RE GUILTY ELSEWHERE. IF THAT'S THE STANDARD, ALEC BALDWIN, IF CONVICTED, COULD BE.

FACING ACTUAL 18 MONTHS IN PRISON. >> Phil: WE SHOWED THAT CLIP COMING BACK FROM BREAK. THE PAPERWORK FILED BY THE PROSECUTION THEY ARGUED THAT ALEC TOLD GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS THAT HE POINTED THE GUN AT HALYNA HUTCHINS AFTER SHE.

INSTRUCTED HIM TO. THAT DIFFERED FROM WHAT HE TOLD POLICE. COULD HIS WORDS BE USED AGAINST HIM? >> IF HE TAKES THE STAND. IF HE DOESN'T TAKE THE STAND, THEY CAN'T USE THE STATEMENTS. THE BIG ISSUE IS IMPEACHMENT.

IF HE TESTIFIED AND IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE SAID TO GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, PROSECUTORS COULD USE THE STATEMENTS TO IMPEACH HIM. WHAT IS THE TRUTH? DIFFERENT STORIES NEVER WORK WELL FOR A DEFENDANT. THE UWORDS CAN BE USED AGAINST.

HIM. >> Eva: BOTH CHARGED WITH INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? HOW CAN MULTIPLE PEOPLE BE CHARGED FOR THE ONE DEATH? >> I'LL ANSWER IT BACKWARDS. IT'S ABOUT WHERE THE WRONG EXISTS AND THE EXECUTION OF AN.

ACTION. JUST LIKE THE THREE OF US ARE SITTING HERE, WE'RE SPEAKING ON CAMERA. THERE ARE PEOPLE BEHIND THE CAMERA, PEOPLE DOING AUDIO. IF SOMEONE MESSES UP THE AUDIO AND WE SAY SOMETHING INCORRECT, THAT PERSON CAN BE WRONG AND WE.

CAN BE WRONG. WHEN IT COMES TO TWO DIFFERENT THEORIES, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEGLIGENT USE OF A FOIRM AND FELONY MISCONDUCT WITH DISREGARD TO THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. RECKLESSNESS AND NEGLIGENCE. THAT'S HOW THAT CAN BE USED. >> Phil: BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANKS.

SO MUCH. WE'LL BE WATCHING THIS. >>> STILL TO COME, A LITTLE BOY DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE. >> Eva: STAR LIL REL HOWERY JOINS US IN THE NOW THE SECOND OF THREE THINGS . HI, EVERYONE.

I'M WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS IN THE TRIAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD. 12 JURORS HAVE NOW BEEN SEATED. THE COURT STILL HAS TO DETERMINE SIX ALTERNATES FOR THIS CASE AND THEY WILL DECIDE ALL THESE JURORS, THE 12 AT THE END WHETHER DONALD.

TRUMP FALSIFIED BUSINESS RECORDS TO HIDE A PAYMENT TO STAR. STORMY DANIELS. AND IF TRUMP FALSIFIED THOSE DOCUMENTS TO HIDE THE AFFAIR FROM VOTERS AHEAD OF THE 2016 ELECTION. THAT IS THE CRUX OF THIS CASE.

LET'S BRING IN EXECUTIVE EDITOR PRODUCER, JOHN SANTUCCI, SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMAN, WHO'VE WITH US THROUGHOUT. AARON KATERSKY, LET ME GO TO YOU FIRST.

>> WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS JURY? THIS JURY IS MADE UP OF SEVEN MEN AND FIVE WOMEN, ALL FROM THE DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS OF MANHATTAN. OF THEM SAID THEY COULD BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL, BUT THEY ALL HAD SOME OPINION OF FORMER.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AS. ONE OF THE JURORS WHO WAS SELECTED, SAID TERRY. HE WAS PRESIDENT. EVERYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT HIM. AND SO THERE IS ONE WOMAN ON THE JURY WHO SAYS SHE DOESN'T LIKE HIS PERSONA,.

BUT NONETHELESS PLEDGED TO HIS ATTORNEYS TO GIVE HIM A FAIR SHAKE. ALL RIGHT. SEVEN MEN, FIVE WOMEN. I GOT THAT RIGHT. YES. OH, CORRECT. 705 WOMEN.

THEY'RE STILL PICKING THE ALTERNATES. ONE ALTERNATES SO FAR HAS BEEN CHOSEN. RIGHT. THANK YOU, AARON FOR THAT VERY MUCH. AND GIVEN THE WAY COURTS TRIALS USUALLY GO, BRIAN BUCKMIRE I'LL.

GO TO OUR TRIAL ATTORNEY HERE. IT'S LIKELY THAT THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE ALTERNATES WILL END UP DECIDING THE CASE SHOULD COME THAT. >> SO WHEN WHEN YOU WHEN YOU HEAR SEVEN MEN, FIVE WOMEN, DOES THAT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU AS YOU SLICING.

AND DICING WHO WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER? EACH CASE PRESENTS ITS OWN DIFFERENT UNIQUENESS. SOMETIMES RACE PLAYS A FACTOR, SOMETIMES GENDER PLAYS A FACTOR ,SOMETIMES IMPORTANT. AND I THINK IN A CASE LIKE.

THIS, GENDER DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. I WOULD BE MORE INTERESTED IN AN EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND AND PARTS OF MANHATTAN THEY'RE IN. I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE TWO ATTORNEYS ON THIS JURY.

IF THERE WERE TWO PUBLIC DEFENDERS OR TWO WHITE COLLAR ATTORNEYS, BOTH ARE ATTORNEYS. BUT WE CAN PROBABLY SURMISE TWO VERY DIFFERENT OPINIONS. AND SO I THINK EMPLOYMENT MATTERS WAY MORE THAN GENDER. BUT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT JURY SELECTION, THE WAY THAT NEW.

YORK OPERATES, ORDER IN WHICH THESE JURORS ARE SELECTED IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE FIRST PERSON IS THE FOREPERSON. IT'S NOT LIKE IN OTHER STATES WHERE YOU ELECT A FOREPERSON AND THE FIRST ALTERNATE SELECTED IS OFTEN.

THE FIRST PERSON CHOSEN TO BE ON THE JURY. IF YOU LOSE ONE OF THOSE 12 SO THAT FIRST ALTERNATES IMPORTANT. SO THE SECOND AND THE THIRD AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. >> GOT IT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, BRIAN. LET'S GO TO JOHN SANTUCCI, WHO AS YOU KNOW, COVERED THE TRUMP TEAM FROM THE BEGINNING AND BEFORE HER, IT SEEMS ALMOST, JOHN. SO ONE OF THINGS DONALD TRUMP IS TRYING TO DO IS THIS CASE.

>> IT'S MOVING ALONG AT A GOOD CLIP AND HE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I MEAN, THIS IS MOVING AWAY AT LIGHTNING SPEED. I MEAN, QUITE FRANKLY, OUR TEAM IN COURT SAYING THAT THE NUMBERS WENT UP, TERRY. YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, WE.

BACKSLID TO FIVE AND THEN FIVE BECAME SEVEN, BECAME TEN, BECAME 12. AND NOW WE EVEN HAVE AN ALTERNATE. I MEAN, TALK ABOUT HOW THINGS HAVE PICKED UP IN SPEED AS THE DAY COMES TO AN END ON THURSDAY.

AND LOOK, WHAT'S REMARKABLE, AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, THE TRUMP TEAM TRIED ON MONDAY TO, DELAY THIS CASE YET AGAIN. LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE FOUR DAYS LATER THAT WE NOW HAVE A JURY FOR THE MOMENT. OBVIOUSLY, SOMEBODY COULD TRY TO BAIL, BUT THEY ALREADY GOING.

TO ALTERNATE. IT DOES LOOK LIKE THIS THING IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. NOW, THE QUESTION OBVIOUSLY IS, AARON KATERSKY WAS JUST NOTING THEY'RE STILL GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE ALL THE ALTERNATES SET YET.

THAT COULD CONTINUE INTO TOMORROW. BUT THEN WE HAVE TO SEE WHEN WE GET TO OPENING STATEMENTS. DOES SEEM LIKE JUDGE MERCHAN INDICATED BE READY TO GO MONDAY MORNING AND ALL SYSTEMS SEEM TO POINT THAT WAY. THAT QUESTION, THOUGH,.

IS OBVIOUSLY THE TIMELINE. RIGHT. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, WE KNOW FROM WHAT PROSECUTORS HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD GO 6 TO 8 WEEKS. THAT OBVIOUSLY DEFENSE WOULD HAVE TO RESPOND TO EVERYTHING. SO HOW MUCH LONGER DOES THIS.

EVENTUALLY PLAY OUT? >> THE ONE THING THAT IS CLEAR AND I THINK JUST TO REMIND OUR VIEWERS AT HOME, WE ARE WE BEGAN IS THE SCHEDULE STARTED TO GET SET HERE. THIS SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY TOTALLY OUT OF DONALD TRUMP'S HANDS.

AND BY THE FACT THAT, AS YOU KNOW, TERRY, HE WANTED TO GO TO YOUR CITY NEXT WEEK TO THE SUPREME COURT HEARING ON HIS EFFORTS TO DELAY THE JANUARY SIX EFFORTS TO OVERTURN A CASE BROUGHT BY SPECIAL COUNSEL SMITH. >> JUDGE MERCHAN SAID, NOPE,.

YOU'RE A DEFENDANT IN NEW YORK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT. HERE YOU ARE STAYING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THAT ALONE IS A BLOW TO DONALD TRUMP. AND I THINK THE REALITY IS SETTING THAT FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS, THE GUY.

THAT MADE IT IN NEW YORK AND BECAME A FLORIDIAN IS GOING TO BE IN NEW YORK STUCK FOR JUST A BIT. YOU KNOW, AND LET ME TAKE OUT YOUR MENTION OF SEVERAL WEEKS BACK TO AARON KATERSKY ERIN. IT DOES LOOK LIKE THIS. THIS TRIAL IS GOING TO GET.

UNDERWAY NEXT WEEK. WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE TIMELINE BASED ON WHAT EACH SIDE HAS SAID THEY WANT TO DO WITH WITNESSES AND HOW THEY WANT TO APPROACH THIS TRIAL, WHAT THE NATURE OF THE CASE ITSELF. THE JUDGE HAS BEEN TELLING.

THE JURORS THAT THE TESTIMONY COULD TAKE ABOUT SIX WEEKS NOW. A LOT OF THAT, TERRY, IS GOING TO DEPEND ON THE DEFENSE OF THE WITNESSES. WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT OF CASE THE DEFENSE ULTIMATELY MIGHT PUT ON, BUT THERE ARE AROUND 18 WITNESSES FOR THE PEOPLE.

THAT ARE EXPECTED TO BE CALLED AND THEY READ LIKE A WHO'S WHO OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN FROM 2016, AND MAYBE EVEN MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP FAMILY, THE PROSPECTIVE JURORS WERE, IF THEY HAD RECOGNIZED ANY OF THE NAMES.

AND NAMES LIKE MELANIA TRUMP, IVANKA TRUMP, RUDY GIULIANI, MICHAEL COHEN, STORMY DANIELS. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO MAKE UP THE BULK OF THE PEOPLE'S, NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE NECESSARILY POLITICAL OPPONENTS, BUT PEOPLE THAT USED TO BE OR STILL ARE IN.

SOME PART OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S INNER CIRCLE. ALL RIGHT, AARON, THANK YOU FOR THAT PREVIEW OF WHAT THE JURORS CAN EXPECT AND JOHN SANTUCCI. AND TO GO BACK TO YOU WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON INSIDE THE COURTROOM TODAY. >> YEAH, FROM OUR TEAM.

OF OLIVIA RUBIN ARE STILL THERE, TERRY. SO THE 12 JURORS THAT AARON AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WITH YOU, THEY HAVE BEEN SWORN AND JUST THIS VISUAL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SUCH A SHAME WITH THE NEW YORK STATE COURT SYSTEM THAT THERE'S NO CAMERAS.

IN COURT. BUT THANK GOD FOR OUR REPORTERS . WERE THERE, ALL 12 RAISING THEIR RIGHT HAND. THEN AT SOME LOOKING AT DONALD TRUMP AS THEY SWORE TO BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL MANNER AS THEY HEAR THE FACTS OF THIS CASE.

I JUST THINK THE SURREAL MOMENT OF THIS RIGHT TO THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP, THE GUY WHO SO BADLY WANTED TO MAKE IT IN NEW YORK, LOOK AT HOW YEAR BEGAN, A HALF A BILLION DOLLAR FINE BROUGHT BY A CASE IN CIVIL COURT BY THE NEW YORK STATE.

ATTORNEY GENERAL. AND NOW THINK HE IS SITTING IN CRIMINAL COURT FACING A 34 COUNT INDICTMENT AND A JURY OF HIS PEERS, IF WE CAN EVEN BELIEVE THAT THAT IS THE TRUTH. HIS PEERS, FELLOW NEW YORKERS ABOUT TO JUDGE HIM. FASCINATING.

JUST TRULY UNBELIEVABLE. >> SEE IT? HIS FATE IN THEIR HANDS. IT'S A WEIGHTY BURDEN ON THE JURORS FOR SURE. AARON. JOHN, BRIAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> AND I'M TERRY MORAN, TEXAS.

TRIBUNE. AND THERE'S MORE NEWS COMING. >> YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY THE DAY THAT MY SON DIED, I'M ON WALKING, TALK ON MY STEPSON. RIGHT FROM THE START. YOU'VE GOT SOME CLEAR INDICATORS OF DECEPTION.

THE BATTLE WAS A COMPLETE YES. AND IN 100% NEITHER I COULD TELL BY LOOKING AT IT. RIGHT. DO YOU THINK THIS ENDS IN A GOOD WAY? THE INTERROGATION TAPES IN THE 2020 TRUE CRIME LIMITED SERIES, MANY ON ABC.

WHO WERE SEATED EARLIER IN THE WEEK. ONE OF THOSE LET GO WAS EXCUSED AFTER SAYING THAT SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE COULD BE FAIR AND THE OTHER DISMISSED OVER CONCERNS THAT THAT JUROR WASN'T HONEST ABOUT HIS OWN CRIMINAL HISTORY.

NOW, TRUMP CHARGED WITH FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS AS PART OF AN ALLEGED EFFORT TO HIDE HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS TO STAR STORMY DANIELS IN THE LEAD UP TO THE 2016 ELECTION. HE HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY AND DENIES THE AFFAIR EVER.

HAPPENED. I WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN LIVE OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE IN LOWER MANHATTAN ALONG WITH ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS IN D.C. AND ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE.

EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI AND ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR STARTING THE SHOW WITH US. ALSO, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE ARE AWAITING WORDS HERE FROM THE FORMER.

PRESIDENT HIMSELF. HE IS SET TO SPEAK IN LOWER. >> WE WILL BRIN THAT TO YOU LIVE WHEN IT HAPPENS. BUT, OLIVIA, FIRST OF ALL, LET'S HERE WITH YOU. WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THESE JURORS THAT ARE SEATED? WELL, NOW WE HAVE AT 12 JURORS.

AND I DO JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS CAME TODAY. REMEMBER, JUST A FEW HOURS AGO, WE WERE STANDING HERE AND THERE WERE ONLY FIVE JURORS. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT WHO THEY HAVE SELECTED ARE SEVEN WOMEN AND FIVE MEN.

THEY WERE JUST SWORN IN. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, YOU COULD SEE HIM SEATED AT THE DEFENSE TABLE AS THESE JURORS ARE BEING IN, HE SAT SORT OF STONE FACED WITH HIS HAND ON THE TABLE CLOTH TOGETHER. AND ACCORDING TO A POOL.

REPORTER WHO WAS INSIDE OF THE COURTROOM, HE ACTUALLY STARED AT THE JURORS AS THEY WERE WALKED OF THE ROOM. BECAUSE, REMEMBER, THESE ARE GOING TO BE THE 12 INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOW LEFT TO DECIDE HIS FATE IN, THIS CASE.

AND JUST A QUICK NOTE MOVING FORWARD, JUDGE WARMERS ON JUST TWO MOMENTS AGO SAID THAT THE PLAN HE INDICATED BECAUSE REMEMBER, THEY STILL NEED FIVE MORE ALTERNATES IS JUST ON MONDAY MORNING WITH OPENING STATEMENTS. AND HE URGED THE JURORS TO BE.

ON TIME. HE SAID WE CANNOT START, WHICH AGAIN START MEANS THE FIRST CRIMINAL TRIAL OF A FORMER AMERICAN PRESIDENT. HE SAID WE CANNOT START UNTIL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE HERE. SO LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE.

DELAYED. SO ALL EXPECTATIONS CAME OUT STARTING ON MONDAY. ALL RIGHT. A HISTORIC DAY. IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY ON MONDAY IF THIS DOES GET UNDER WAY. ACTUALLY, JOHN, I'D TO TAKE.

THAT TO YOU HERE. YOU'RE SOMEONE THAT HAS, YOU KNOW, THE WELL, I DO WANT TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT, HE IS WALKING UP TO THE PODIUM, JOHN. SO IF I HAVE TO CUT YOU OFF, I KNOW YOU'LL UNDERSTAND. >> BUT, JOHN, WHAT YOU THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHAT?.

>> HE'S STARTING TO TALK. LET'S GO AHEAD AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH YOU. >> SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WANTED TO JUST SAY THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IN GEORGIA, SUPPOSED TO BE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

CAROLINA SUPPOSED TO BE NO DIFFERENT PLACES COMPARED. BUT I'VE BEEN HERE ALL DAY ON A TRIAL THAT REALLY IS A VERY UNFAIR TRIAL. THESE ARE ALL SERIOUS ISSUES OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS FROM LEGAL EXPERTS IN THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL” EDITORIAL.

. BUT ALL OF THESE ARE STRICTLY LEGAL, SAYING THIS IS NOT A CASE AND THE CASE IS RIDICULOUS. THIS ONE OF THE CASES AND RIDICULOUS TRUMP AND DAVID DISMISSING FOR THERE IS NO FRAUD IN ALL OF THESE.

STORIES OR STORIES OF HOW ONE GUY WAS. AND THAT IS BRADLEY FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS AND IMPULSIVE LIES. HE'S THE ONE HE'S THE FRAUD. SO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL ARE STORIES YOU SEE AND HEAR AND EVEN FALLS AS AN INDICTMENT.

. ALL OF THEM REGULATIONS. THE RULE BOOK INDICTING GOVERNMENT. AND THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT RACHEL JOHNSON THAT I THINK IS THE ONE THING THAT THE GERMAN IS AN OUTRAGE. EVERYBODY IS OUTRAGED BY.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD AN 18 DAY ATTACK WHICH ALLOWS 18 OR 19 OR 21,000 VOTERS IN AND OUT. AND IN THE MEANTIME, THEY HAVE MURDERS GOING RIGHT OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK. LINDA, THIS NATIONAL REVIEW AND THEN THE NATIONAL REVIEW. JONATHAN TURLEY, GREAT.

DIRECTOR. ANDREW MCCARTHY, EVERY REPORTER, SAYING THE BOARD IS JUMPING RACE MEETING. IT IS NO PLACE AND, THEY SAY. IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL? THEY DON'T THINK THE CASE IS. THESE ARE ALL STORIES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE OVER LAST FEW DAYS.

IN THIS HEARING. ONE, JUST AS THE REASON IS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS IN POLITICAL CRISIS RIGHT NOW AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO IN THIS JOE BIDEN, EVEN THE ROLLING STONE, NO FRIEND, MINE. YOU DON'T LIKE IT. YOU DON'T LIKE IN THIS CASE,.

IT'S A DISGRACE. THAT'S THAT SAID THEY LAST NIGHT YOU READ THAT ONE, TOO. >> BUT EVERYONE REALIZES THAT THE CASE JUSTICE IS GETTING A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH IN THIS NEW YORK SCANDAL TRIAL AS THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL”,.

IT'S EXPECTED OF EVERY ONE OF THESE AMERICANS, THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, NEARLY ALL WHITE . THAT'S NEW YORK MAGAZINE, EVEN ,OR THEY JUST CAME OUT. >> THESE ARE ALL EVERY SINGLE ACCURACY AND ONE THAT SAYS THIS IS A TRIAL.

>> IT'S POLITICAL. IT'S A THIS IS A “WALL STREET JOURNAL”. AND A JUROR. AND IT'S A SHAME. IT'S A SHAME. AND I'M SITTING HERE FOR DAYS NOW FROM MORNING TO NIGHT IN THAT FREEZING ROOM, FREEZING.

EVERYBODY IS IN THERE. >> AND ALL THIS. AND THIS IS YOUR RESULT THAT EACH ONE OF THEM IS STORY AND IS VERY, VERY BAD THING. VERY BAD THING. THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING THIS. NOT YOU GOT A D.A. THAT'S OUT.

OF CONTROL. YOU HAVE A JUDGE ENTIRELY PLACE AND THE WHOLE THING IS A MESS. YOU HAVE THE LEADING DAS. AND IT IS REALLY INTERESTING. JOE BIDEN, LIKE HE'S THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE IN TROUBLE, IS A CROOK. WE'VE GOT A CROOKED PRESIDENT.

HE SHOULD BE A TRIAL WITH ALL THE SOUTH-EAST GOVERNORS, HIS FAMILY HE SHOULD BE A TRIAL, BUT HE'S THE ONE IN CHARGE. HE'S NOW PEOPLE ARE HERE WORKING WITH THE D.A. HAS GOT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT, BUT IT SHOULDN'T.

GO RIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CASE. AND THAT'S WHAT IS ALL ABOUT. >> AND IT REALLY IS A SHAME THIS COUNTRY IS DEVOLVING INTO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY BETWEEN HAVING NO LAWS AND HAVING NO JUSTICE, NO JUSTICE AND HAVING A PRESS THAT DOESN'T WANT.

TO COVER THE FACTS. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU ARE BETTER. YOU KNOW, BILL. >> ALL RIGHT. SO YOU JUST HEARD THERE FROM THE FORMER PRESIDENT, AS WALKED OUT OF THE COURTROOM THERE IN LOWER MANHATTAN.

HE WAS HOLDING UP A OF PRINTED OFF NEWS ARTICLES IN, WHICH HE SAID ALL OF THEM TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS CASE WAS NOT GOOD CASE. AND HE SHOWCASED SOME OF THEM AS HE FLIPPED THROUGH ARTICLES. REMEMBER THAT? RIGHT NOW, PROSECUTORS.

ARE ASKING HOLD DONALD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT OVER WHAT THEY CONSIDER A OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THIS WEEK, VIOLATING A GAG ORDER. SO, AGAIN, THIS IS MOVING VERY QUICKLY. NOW. I WANT TO BRING BACK IN.

OUR TEAM HERE, STARTING WITH OUR EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER, JOHN SANTUCCI. AND ON THAT NOTE HERE, JOHN, TO OLIVIA, HIS POINT EARLIER RIGHT, WE STARTED OFF THIS DAY IN QUESTION, TWO JURORS LEAVING NOW HAVE 12 SEATED ALONG WITH AN ALTERNATE.

THIS HAS PICKED UP RAPID PACE HERE. HOW DO YOU THINK THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS FACING THAT? >> WELL, LIGHTNING SPEED AND I THINK WE'VE SEEN THE FORMER. IT'S FUNNY, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP IS SOMEONE ONCE REMARKED ME, HAS A PLAYBOOK.

HE'S USED IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP JUST DID OUTSIDE OF THAT COURTROOM. KENA DONALD TRUMP, TO BE EXACT, SAME THING TO ME AND A GROUP OF US FROM ABC NEWS IN I THINK IT WAS FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2015, RIGHT BEFORE ANNOUNCED.

HIS RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. AND IT WAS PRINTING OUT A STACK OF NEWSPAPER ARTICLES TO JUSTIFY WHATEVER POSITION HE HAD AT THE TIME. I, HONEST TO GOD, DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE IT'S NINE YEARS AGO AND I'VE LIVED A LONG LIFE SINCE.

OF COVERING DONALD TRUMP. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY THE STRATEGY ,RIGHT? PULLING ARTICLES OUT, TRYING TO JUSTIFY HIS HIS PHILOSOPHY ON THINGS, HIS ATTITUDE ON THINGS. NOW WE SHOULD KNOW THAT. SO ALMOST ALL THE COMMENTS.

HE MADE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING PUSHED BY WASHINGTON, JOE BIDEN, ETC. THERE IS NOTHING TO SHOW THAT WE HAVE SAID THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN. BUT TO REITERATE OUR VIEWERS AT HOME THAT THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION THAT HAS GONE.

ON LONG. ANY OF THIS REALLY, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S SPARKED WITH SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER'S INVESTIGATION LED TO MICHAEL COHEN, WHO WAS TRUMP'S LONGTIME FIXER AND ATTORNEY, BEING CHARGED AND FOUND IN NEW YORK'S.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT. AND EVENTUALLY THIS CASE PERPETUATE TO DOWN THE BLOCK OVER TO THE NEW YORK DISTRICT ATTORNEY, THE MANHATTAN D.A., ALVIN BRAGG, WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY. AND I DO THINK THAT'S TRULY HERE.

NOW, LOOK, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT HE HAD TO SIT HERE ALL DAY. WELL, FACE THE FACTS. HE DOES HAVE TO SIT THERE ALL DAY BECAUSE THIS IS A CRIMINAL TRIAL. WE'VE SAID THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE DONALD.

TRUMP, FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IS DIFFERENT FROM THEN TO NOW. THE DIFFERENCE BEING EVERY PROCEEDING HAD WAS CIVIL. THIS IS CRIMINAL CRIMINAL COURT. YOU HAVE TO BE EVERY DAY AS A DEFENDANT.

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS HE IS A FORMER PRESIDENT, HE IS A BUSINESSMAN. HE IS ALSO NOW A DEFENDANT. AND HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE THERE FOR EVERY DAY OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. AND I DO JUST THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS ONE NOTE AND OLIVIA.

RUBIN MADE IT TO YOU EARLIER. BUT I DO JUST THINK AGAIN, SUCH A SHAME THERE'S NO CAMERAS IN COURT HERE IN NEW YORK STATE TO SEE THAT IMAGE. I WISH WE COULD SEE IT. AND THANK GOD FOR THE SKETCH ARTIST. THERE THEY ARE.

AND I'M SURE THEY'RE CAPTURED. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT, TO SEE. IMAGE OF 12 NEW YORKERS RAISING THEIR RIGHT HAND, SAYING THAT THEY WILL BE FAIR AND OBJECTIVE AND LISTENING TO THE CASE. DONALD TRUMP IS RIGHT THERE.

LOOKING AT THEM. WHO EVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT GOING BACK TO EIGHT OR NINE YEARS AGO WHEN HE CAME DOWN THE ESCALATOR, THIS IS WHERE WE WOULD BE JUST REMARKABLE. >> THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. AND NO MATTER HOW PERFORMATIVE.

HE WANTS TO BE AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU'RE RIGHT, HE IS FACING A CRIMINAL TRIAL AND HE HAS TO BE. THEY EXPECT OPENING STATEMENTS POTENTIALLY MONDAY WITH A TRIAL LASTING AT LEAST SIX WEEKS. JOHN SANTUCCI, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COVERAGE TODAY.

ALWAYS, I WANT TO BRING OUR ABC NEWS CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL WITH US AS. WELL, JOHN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. AND YOU HEARD THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S THERE. HE ALSO YOU KNOW, HE STARTED.

OUT BY SAYING I SHOULD BE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, GEORGIA, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TALKING ABOUT HOW HE SHOULD BE THERE CAMPAIGNING. BUT NOW, NO, I HAVE TO BE IN THIS COURTROOM NOW. AND IT'S AN INTERESTING SPLIT SCREEN WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ALL.

THE COURTROOMS HAS VOLUNTARILY SHOWED UP IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AS WELL. BUT HERE HE IS. THEY'RE HOLDING HIS FEET TO THE FIRE NOW, JOHN, ESPECIALLY WITH OPENING STATEMENTS POTENTIALLY TO BE HELD MONDAY. AND, JOHN, THE JUDGE TELLING.

THESE JURORS, DON'T BE LATE, WE'RE ON YOU. >> WE HAVE TO START ON TIME ON A HISTORY MAKING DAY. YEAH, THE IS CLEARLY RUNNING A TIGHT SHIP HERE AND WANTS TO GET THIS THING MOVING. YOU KNOW, THE CONTEXT HERE, TRUMP HAS ACTUALLY NOT SPENT.

VERY MUCH TIME ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. EVEN WHEN HE WAS FREE TO BE ON THE CAMP CAMPAIGN TRAIL. THE LATEST CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE I HAVE SEEN OF A MAJOR PARTY NOMINEE OR EVEN EVEN A MAJOR CONTENDER IN A PRIMARY PROCESS, HE HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN COURT.

ALMOST ALL OF THAT TIME VOLUNTARILY, BUT NOW HE'S FORCED TO DO IT AND HE'S CLEARLY IRRITATED BY IT. >> I IMAGINE THIS. CASE I MEAN, I CAN SEE THIS IRRITATION WHEN HE CAME OUT. IMAGINE THIS TODAY, AS WE SAW YESTERDAY AS WELL.

HE HAS TO SIT THERE SILENTLY WHILE THE JURORS ARE QUESTIONED. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HIS OWN LEGAL TEAM DONE DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE IS COMBING THE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS OF THESE PROSPECTIVE PROSPECTIVE TO FIND.

POSSIBILITIES OF BIAS. AND JUST, YOU ONE OF THE LATEST ONES THAT HE WENT THROUGH, TRUMP HAD TO SIT SILENTLY WHILE HIS TEAM IS QUESTIONING A JUROR ABOUT POST AND READING AND HAVING THE JUROR READ POSTS. SOME OF THESE INCLUDED.

I WOULDN'T BELIEVE DONALD TRUMP IF HIS TONGUE WERE NOTARIZED, CALLING HIM RACIST, A NARCISSIST. >> TRUMP HAS TO SIT THERE WHILE THESE POSTS READ, IN SOME CASES BY THE JURORS THEMSELVES ARE BEING ASKED TO READ THEM. AND ALL I CAN DO IS REACT.

WITH BODY LANGUAGE. THIS IS TRUMP. EVERYWHERE HE GOES IS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. EVERYWHERE HE GOES, PEOPLE ARE RESPONDING AND TAKING HIS CUES. HE'S IN CHARGE. BUT NOW, JUST THREE DAYS IN, DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY,.

THROUGHOUT THIS TRIAL, HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE THERE, NOT FREE TO LEAVE AND NOT THE CENTER OF ATTENTION AND CERTAINLY NOT CHARGE. >> NO. AND ACCORDING TO THE JUDGE, HE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THESE JURORS ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE.

AFTERMATH EITHER. THEY'RE ALREADY TRYING TO HOLD IN CONTEMPT FOR WHAT THEY CONSIDER VIOLATING WHAT IS RIGHT NOW A VERY NARROW GAG ORDER. POTENTIALLY. WE MIGHT SEE THAT EXPANDED. RIGHT.

HE ALSO MENTIONED. RIGHT, JOHN, HOW COLD IT IS IN THAT COURTROOM. >> I MEAN, YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT ALSO, I DO WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS BECAUSE IF THERE'S TIME TOMORROW, IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM ALL OF OUR INTREPID REPORTERS OUT.

IN THE COURTROOM THAT THE JUDGE MIGHT TAKE UP THE SANDOVAL HEARING IN WHICH THEY WILL, YOU KNOW, DECIDE DICTATE HERE IF AND WHEN HE MIGHT ACTUALLY TESTIFY AND WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS COULD BE LOBBIED AT HIM. YEAH.

>> WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT HIS CREDIBILITY COULD BE SOME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS THAT WOULD FACE ON CROSS-EXAMINATION. LOOK, CAN I'VE BEEN SKEPTICAL FROM THE START WHETHER OR NOT WE'LL ACTUALLY SEE DONALD.

TRUMP TESTIFY IN THIS TRIAL. I KNOW HE HAS SAID QUITE EMPHATICALLY I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. OF COURSE I'M GOING TO TESTIFY. I WANT TO TESTIFY. BUT BY AND LARGE, WHEN HE HAS BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY, PREVIOUS CASES GOING ALL THE.

WAY BACK TO THE TO THE INVESTIGATION, HE HAS SAID THE EXACT SAME THING. AND IF HE IS NOT ULTIMATELY TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY. SO WE'LL SEE AND I THINK THAT THIS ARGUMENT OVER WHAT CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE.

CROSS-EXAMINATION WILL PLAY A BIG FACTOR WHETHER OR NOT WE'LL ACTUALLY SEE DONALD TRUMP TESTIFY. >> YEAH, I YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THAT. JON KARL, THANK YOU AS ALWAYS. WE APPRECIATE IT. I WANT TO CHECK BACK IN NOW.

WITH OUR ABC NEWS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN, WHO'S LIVE OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE FOR US IN LOWER MANHATTAN. BUT OLIVIA, YOU CAN ALSO GIVE US A PEEK INSIDE THE COURTROOM IF YOU CAN. YOU KNOW, JOHN WAS JUST SITTING THERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT.

MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT. SIT THERE AND HAVE PEOPLE IN OPEN COURT TALK ABOUT HIM TO LEARN ABOUT HOW THEY FELT ABOUT HIM ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA AND IN A WAY BE SILENCED. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT IT WAS LIKE?.

I THINK THAT JOHN HONESTLY JUST HIT ON IT PERFECTLY. THE FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS TO SIT AT THE TABLE SILENTLY NOT ONLY HEARING JUST OLD SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS FROM THESE JURORS, BUT ASKED TO BE STAND UP ONE BY ONE, TAKE A MICROPHONE, SAY, WHAT DO.

YOU THINK ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY? WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT HIS CHARACTER? SOMEONE SAID THEY THOUGHT THAT HE CONDUCTED HIMSELF IN A WAY THAT WAS SELFISH, THAT WAS UNBECOMING. HE SAID, HE'S NOT MY CUP.

OF TEA. AND THEN IT WAS PASSED TO ANOTHER MAN WHO SAID HE THINKS DONALD TRUMP IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. AND AGAIN, THIS IS JOHN KARL WAS SAYING YOU CAN SEE IT IN DONALD TRUMP'S BODY LANGUAGE AS HE IS SITTING THERE WHEN.

THIS WOMAN IS SAYING THAT HE IS SELFISH, HE DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY THAT HE CONDUCTS THEMSELVES IN PUBLIC AND HE'S CROSSING HIS ARMS, TIGHTLY LEANING FORWARD LISTENING TO HER BECAUSE, AGAIN, THERE IS NOTHING THAT HE CAN DO. AND IT'S SUCH, AGAIN, AS JOHN.

SAID, SUCH A POWER SORT OF SHIFT FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS AT ONE POINT THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD AND STILL POSSESSES SO MUCH POWER. SO TO SEE HIM SITTING THERE, IT'S QUITE STRIKING. BUT I DO ALSO POINT WANT TO BREAK DOWN A LITTLE BIT FOR.

YOU A BIT MORE THAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THESE JURORS AND HUGE SHOUT OUT TO THE WHOLE TEAM DOWN HERE. KELSEY WALL PETER CHARALAMBOUS, EVERYONE'S BREAKING IT DOWN, BUT AGAIN, ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL DECIDE THE CASE FOR DONALD TRUMP THE EVERYDAY NEW YORKERS.

WHO JUROR NUMBER EIGHT CAIN IS A FORMER WEALTH MANAGER WHO MOVED TO THE NEW YORK TO NEW YORK IN THE 1980S. HE'S ORIGINALLY FROM LEBANON. JUROR NUMBER NINE IS A SPEECH THERAPIST, GREW UP IN NEW JERSEY. JUROR NUMBER TEN HAS LIVED.

IN MURRAY HILL FOR SIX YEARS. AND WORKS IN COMMERCE FOR AN EYEWEAR COMPANY. JUROR NUMBER 11 IS ORIGINALLY FROM CALIFORNIA, WORKS AS A PRODUCTION MANAGER, AND JUROR NUMBER 12 IS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST. AND ALTERNATE NUMBER ONE GREW.

UP IN ENGLAND. SO REMEMBER, WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN ENGLAND, SOMEONE ORIGINALLY FROM LEBANON. YESTERDAY, TWO DAYS AGO, THEY SELECTED SOMEONE WHO ORIGINALLY FROM IRELAND. SO WE'RE LEARNING MORE AND MORE DETAILS ABOUT THESE 12 NEW.

YORKERS WHO ARE NOW GOING TO SIT FOR TRUMP. ALL RIGHT. THE MAKEUP OF THE PEOPLE THAT WILL DECIDE HIS FATE. OLIVIA RUBIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING TODAY AND THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AS WELL.

I WANT TO BRING IN NOW OUR ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR, TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE ON THIS. SO, BRIAN, COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. FIRST OF ALL, WE ARE AGAIN HEARING FROM OUR REPORTERS IN THE COURTROOM.

THAT PROSECUTORS ARE TRYING TO KEEP THEIR CARS A LITTLE CLOSE TO THEIR VEST RIGHT NOW, NOT SURPRISINGLY, BUT THEY'RE SAYING A DEFENSE ATTORNEY ACTUALLY REQUESTED THE NAMES OF THE FIRST THREE STATE WITNESSES. THEY'VE DECLINED TO DO THAT.

DO YOU SEE THIS BALL ROLLING IN THIS FAST CAPACITY HERE? DO YOU THINK THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD RAPIDLY AND THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY HAVE OPENING STATEMENTS ON MONDAY? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, EARLIER THIS WEEK, I WAS SAYING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE FOR TWO,.

THREE WEEKS. AND OF COURSE, I AM NOW SITTING HERE SAYING I AM WRONG. I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD HAVE REALLY BEEN ABLE TO PREDICT THIS BACK AND FORTH OF LOSE TWO JURORS. NOW WE'VE GOT THE 12 AND NOW WE'VE GOT AN ALTERNATE.

BUT AT THE PACE IN WHICH WE'RE MOVING, I THINK WE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND THOSE FIVE ALTERNATES BY TOMORROW. AND AS THE JUDGE HAS SAID, HE WANTS THE JURY TO COME ON MONDAY. I WOULD EXPECT THAT HE'S GOING TODDRESS THE CONTEMPT.

OF COURT ISSUES PRETTY EARLY ON AND THEN TRY TO START WITH OPENING STATEMENTS IN THE MORNING. BUT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE OPENING STATEMENTS BECAUSE, OF COURSE, WE'VE SEEN DONALD TRUMP COME UP WITH ALL MANNER OF DEFENSES, WITCH HUNT.

THIS IS ABOUT JOE BIDEN. THIS IS A SCREWED UP SYSTEM. AND AS A FORMER PUBLIC DEFENDER, I HAVE MY ISSUES WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN NEW YORK, BUT I'M WAITING TO SEE WHAT HIS ACTUAL ATTORNEYS ARE GOING TO ARGUE IN OPENING STATEMENTS.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO PUT THIS CASE FORWARD AND TRY TO DEFEND IT? HOW THE PROSECUTION AND TRY TO PROVE THEIR CASE? >> CERTAINLY. AND REALLY THE EYES OF THE NATION WILL BE WATCHING RIGHT THERE ALONG WITH YOU,.

BRIAN BUCKMIRE. THANK YOU, AS ALWAYS. I WANT TO BRING IN OUR NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS AS WELL. SO, KATHERINE, WHEN WE JUST HEARD THE FORMER PRESIDENT TALK THERE AFTER HE LET OUT OF COURT, YOU KNOW, HE BROUGHT.

THIS WHOLE STACK OF PRINTED OFF ARTICLES WHERE HE KIND OF WENT THROUGH THEM AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE, IN A WAY, IS IN DEFENSE OF ME AND TRYING TO PROVE THAT POINT THROUGH, THE WORDS OF JOURNALISTS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, BUT ALSO A TO.

OUR VIEWERS RIGHT NOW, THE PROSECUTORS ARE TRYING TO HOLD HIM IN CONTEMPT. THEY'RE SAYING HE'S VIOLATING THIS VERY NARROW GAG ORDER. RIGHT NOW. >> WELL, THEY ARE SAYING THAT AND HE APPEARED THERE WERE SOME ARTICLES THAT HE PUT.

THROUGH THAT HE DIDN'T READ AND SAID THAT HE WANTED TO READ. I WONDER IF THAT WAS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN VIOLATION OF THE GAG ORDER. BUT YEAH, PROSECUTORS HAVE SAID THAT HE'S VIOLATED IT POTENTIALLY SEVEN MORE TIMES SINCE THEY BROUGHT IT UP.

EARLIER THIS WEEK. AGAIN, ANOTHER REASON PROSECUTORS SAID THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE TRUMP THE WITNESS LIST, THE WITNESS LIST OF AT LEAST THOSE FIRST WITNESSES THAT THEY PLAN TO CALL. ATTORNEY SAID HE WANTED TO PLEDGE TO THE COURT.

THAT TRUMP WOULD POST ABOUT THEM TRUE SOCIAL. THE JUDGE SAID, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN PROVIDE THAT. AND FRANKLY, I WOULD AGREE. I THINK TRUMP'S LAWYERS TRY AND TELL HIM NOT TO POST THINGS OR SAY THINGS, AND HE DOES IT ANYWAY.

SO, AGAIN, I THINK WE'LL BE HEARING A LOT ABOUT THIS GAG ORDER IN FUTURE. OF COURSE, AT THAT HEARING, IT'S GOING TO REMAIN A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION. >> IT CERTAINLY WILL. CATHERINE, OUR THANKS TO YOU AND A THANKS TO JOHN, OLIVIA,.

JOHN, KARL AND BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR ALL OF THAT COVERAGE. >> ALL RIGHT. COMING UP NEXT HERE, ANOTHER NEAR COLLISION AT, A MAJOR U.S. AIRPORT, WHAT FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS ARE SAYING. WHEN WE COME BACK. >> YOU'RE WATCHING AMERICA'S.

NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS ABC NEWS LIVE. BREAKING NEWS, EXCLUSIVES, LIVE REPORTING ACROSS THE GLOBE KEEPS WITH ABC NEWS LIVE. >> THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES OR PLAY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES.

THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO ELECTED THEIR IGNORED HIS CRIES FOR HELP AND THEN BOUGHT A GUN. THE FIRST PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING. INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES AGAINST THE PARENTS.

OF THE SHOOTER AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL WHO KILLED FOUR STUDENTS AND WOUNDED OTHERS. THERE'S A MYTH THAT THE SHOOTER JUST SNAPS. IT'S JUST NOT. THERE ARE ALL THESE SIGNS. HE WAS CRYING FOR HELP.

AND BEING IGNORED. HE HAD PICTURES OF A TARGET ON, HIS BEDROOM WALL, SHELL CASINGS ON HIS NIGHTSTAND, A VERY TOXIC, TURBULENT RELATIONSHIP. MOST PEOPLE ARE NIGHTS BLANK. THEY WEREN'T WAS JUST CRAZY. THE SEXTING AND THE REALLY TERRIBLE THINGS THEY VIDEO.

OF THEIR ACT THEY PURCHASED GUN FOR HIM WITH HIS MONEY AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT AND BEING TOLD BY A SCHOOL COUNSELOR THAT HE THINKS THEIR SON'S GOING TO KILL HIMSELF. AND THEY KNEW NOTHING. AS SOON AS I HEARD THEY WERE TO THE SCHOOL THAT DAY,.

THE MESSAGES ABOUT ELLA, WELL, DON'T GET. THOSE WERE VERY, VERY CONCERNING TO. THAT'S THE MOMENT THAT NO JURY IS GOING TO THINK. WELL, HAVEN'T WE ALL THERE? HERE'S WHAT IT IS. I GOT IT.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HIM HAVING TO DO THAT. THERE WAS SHOT. YOU'RE A HERO. SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AREN'T CRAZY. THEY'RE MADE. AND IT'S MADE OVER TIME. YOU DON'T TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT.

YOU JUST DON'T. THAT'S A CRIMINAL ACT. THE SINS OF THE. THE CRUMBLING TRIALS, THE ABCS OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. >> IT'S JUST BEING IGNORED. ONLY ON HULU. >> AND WELCOME BACK. THE FAA SAYS IT'S INVESTIGATING.

AFTER ANOTHER NEAR COLLISION AT A MAJOR U.S. AIRPORT THIS THE AGENCY WAS REPORTING THAT AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER INSTRUCTED A SOUTHWEST FLIGHT TO CROSS A RUNWAY AT REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT AS A JETBLUE FLIGHT WAS STARTING TO TAKE OFF.

OUR REPORTER SAM SWEENEY IS TRACKING ALL FOR US. SAM, YOU'VE HAD A BUSY WEEK. >> WHAT IS THE LATEST NOW ON THIS INCIDENT? WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? WELL, WE NOW JUST LEARNED THAT THESE TWO PLANES CAME WITHIN 400 FEET OF EACH OTHER.

WHEN THAT JETBLUE FLIGHT HAD TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES, AVOID HITTING THAT SOUTHWEST PLANE. IT WAS AROUND 7:00 THIS MORNING. THE SOUTHWEST PLANE WAS ABOUT TO CROSS OVER AN ACTIVE RUNWAY WHERE THAT JETBLUE PLANE WAS LINED UP TO TAKE OFF.

>> THE SOUTHWEST PLANE WAS FIRST TOLD TO CROSS OVER THE RUNWAY AND THEN MOMENTS LATER, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS CLEARED THAT JETBLUE FLIGHT TO OFF. WELL, AS SOON AS THAT JETBLUE FLIGHT STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS.

REALIZED WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. AND YOU CAN HEAR THE PANIC IN THEIR VOICE ON THESE TAPES. THEY STARTED SCREAMING, STOP, STOP, STOP, SOUTHWEST, STOP, ABORT. TAKE OFF THAT JETBLUE PLANE. LUCKILY, THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP.

IN TIME. THEY WEREN'T GOING TOO FAST BECAUSE THEY HAD JUST STARTED THAT TAKEOFF ROLL. BUT AGAIN, COMING WITHIN 400 FEET IS SIMPLY TOO CLOSE. YET ANOTHER EYE FOR THE FAA. >> ALL RIGHT, SAM SWEENEY. OUR THANKS YOU.

>> A LOT MORE NEWS AHEAD HERE ON ABC NEWS LIVE. IN TODAY'S BIG STORY, 12 JURORS AND ONE ALTERNATE SELECTED IN DONALD TRUMP'S TRIAL WANT JUDGE DISMISSED TWO JURORS EARLIER. WE'LL BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR YOU.
