New This Morning Trump attorney who was a key witness for years classified documents case, is now out of the fold. Why Evan Corcoran exit is causing discomfort inside the trump orbit . Donald trump is stoking fears of christianity is under attack. Now, new, please, from pastors speaking out against Christian Nationalism in a brand new survey of ceo was that shows a growing number. Think i should not even be here today and you should be embed snoring major developments and the push for for de workweek. Kate is out. Shes smart. Im john berman with sara sidner. This is a Special Friday Edition of Cnn News Central new overnight, a significant shakeup on Donald Trumps legal team, a key attorney in the classified documents case, Evan Corcoran, is no longer representing the former president. The departure could become a major headache for trump prosecutors could call corporate as a key witness if the case goes to trial. Corker became a central figure in the indictment because of his meticulous phyllis notes and memos about his interactions with trump been one trump asked corcoran if he is found classified documents in whether it is bad or good word of Corporis Departure comes just it ahead of a hearing today for two of trumps codefendants in the classified documents case, trump aide walt nauta and maralago employee Carlos De Oliveira both hope, uh, judge will dismiss the Obstruction Charges against them. Cnns kaitlan, polands with us this morning to explain the departure of Evan Corcoran haleine john, its a Long Time Coming in. A lot of ways. Evan corcoran was the lead attorney for a long time in the investigations around donald trump, both the maralago Documents Investigation and the january 6 investigation he developed all kinds of Institutional Knowledge about what the prosecutor heres was were gathering. He was there and he was taking notes for his conversations with donald trump. The split that eventually culminated now in Kaitlan Collins reporting that he is formally left the trump team and that circle around the former president that began when the Justice Department wanted his information to make him a witness in the maralago Documents Investigation. They pursued it in this Extraordinary Court fight, getting him ultimately to talk to a grand jury and to turn over his notes and records of his conversations with trump something that he shed shed light on was what trump was saying as the Justice Department, the federal government were demanding that he returned Classified Records that were in his possession after the presidency. Corcoran remembered and wrote down, took notes of an interaction with trump after he searched a storage room and found a significant number, dozens of Classified Records, put them in an envelope and was ready to turn them back over to fbi agents who were visiting maralago in june of 2022, trump said to him, did you find anything . Is it . Bad . Good. And then Evan Corcoran made said that trump made a Plucking Motion and said to him, why dont you take them with you to your hotel room and if theres anything really bad in their pluck it out ultimately, Evan Corcoran was not privy to the full amount of records that were being kept at mars our logo at the resort. There were boxes moved out of that storage room. He was sent into search and ultimately, this became a key part of the Obstruction Case against former president donald trump. But john, theres gonna be a big fight in court over whether Evan Corcoran will be able to testify and share what he nose from that episode in the maralago investigation, if and when donald trump goes to trial in this case. So now quite a marker to see him leaving this legal team. Finally, after hanging back after these issues, were all, he was forced to provide them publicly. Yeah, quite a marker as you say, because you can imagine what a compelling witness he could be potentially kaleb, polands great to see you this morning. Thank you very much, sir. It is a Remarkable Development in this case, joining us now cnn senior legal analyst and former assistant us attorney for the Southern District of new york elie honig. Thank you so much. I know youve been up late getting up early. We really appreciate you. Can you just give us an idea of just how significant it is that one of trumps key attorneys, Evan Corcoran, has now left the trump team well, sarah Evan Corcoran is now a position to be a crucial witness for jack smiths prosecution team. And if you look at the indictment, essentially, hes the fulcrum of the Obstruction Of Justice counts now, to be clear jack smiths theory is not that Evan Corcoran is guilty or liable for obstruction rather than donald trump and others used him as a means to commit obstruction for example, at one point, they gave him they put him in a storage room and they said, okay, youre going to do the Attorney Search of this storage room in response to a subpoena, Evan Corcoran did that search and then he certified back to doj. We only found so many classified documents. What Evan Corcoran apparently he did not know. Is that trump had 30 some boxes moved out of that storage room before he had even corporate search the boxes. So corcoran is going to be a crucial player here for the Justice Departments prosecution team. And he could be a really difficult witness for the defense of crossexamine because he doesnt want to testify for the prosecution. Hes a defense witness. No defense witnesses. Defense lawyer is ever happy about becoming a witness against his own client. Ellie, can you just remind us of how corporate and became one of the key prosecution witnesses because it was remarkable ruling and im usual ruling to get us to this its place, correct yeah. Order narrowly an attorney would not be testifying about communications that he had with his client that is protected by the attorneyclient privilege. But jack smiths team went through this extensive Legal Process to do what we call piercing. The attorneyclient privilege, meaning to break through it and in order to do that, jack smiths team had to go to a judge, not the same gadjo as the case. Now, this was a judge who was overseeing the grand jury part of it, but jack smiths team had to convince that, judge, that the Communications Trump was making with his attorney were in furtherance of a crime. Again, not necessarily the Evan Corcoran was part of that crime, but the Trumps Communications to him were part of a crime and we had a federal judge say, i find by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning more likely than not, that yes. Those communications were part of a crime and therefore, you can break through that privilege and sara, thats exactly why its so rare that you ever see a situation like this where a Defense Lawyer ends up taking the stand against his former client in the very case. Yeah its just fascinating. Could there be any kind of Privilege Issue that prevents corcoran from testifying . While so Donald Trumps defense team can try to re raise the appellate issue that excuse me, the Communications Issue that we just discussed because like i said, the ruling breaking through the privilege was made by a different judge at a different phase of the proceeding. So i fully expect Donald Trumps defense team to now go in front of judge cannon, the district judge whos handling this case and say that was a wrong ruling. The privilege never should have been broken you need to put it back in place if they win on that, thats going to take Evan Corcoran out as a witness, but i dont think they will win and on that for the reasons we just discussed, he would be a that would be a huge blow to the prosecution as he is a key witness. Elie honig. I really appreciate you coming in this morning. Thank you so much. John. All right. One of the biggest aftershocks yet, Vice President harris is in arizona today to talk about abortion after the state chose to uphold an abortion and banned from the 1800s.

Comk at all the guests fivestar reviews, women everywhere i breaking up with bad bros weve got new reporting this morning on the message that Vice President Kamala Harris will bring two arizona today. When she travels there to weigh in on the state Supreme Court case that reinstated a law from the 1800s that establishes a neartotal ban an abortion. Sheill plac the blame squarely on donald trump calling him a quote, architect of this health care crisis. She will use the speech to warn voters about what she thinks a trump second term could meet her an additional term could mean for the fight for reproductive rights. Cnns Camila Bernal is in arizona this morning. What do you expect to hear camila hey, john, so look what im seeing here in arizona and what i know the Vice President is going to see here in arizona, if people who are completely energized and motivated about this issue, i talked to a lot of people who say no matter where they fall, theyre wanting to get involved, theyre wanting to volley when tier to donate money to sign petitions. And so it just depends exactly who you talk to, but the people that i talked to in terms of proponents of Abortion Rights in this state are very focused on a Ballot Measure that would guarantee Abortion Rights in the states constitution. And so what theyre saying is that theyre trying to collect as many signatures there is this possible to have this issue on the ballot in november. Everyone has their eyes in november here in arizona, the Group Running this effort is called arizona for abortion access. And they say that after tuesdays state Supreme Court ruling, they saw an increase in the number of people that were wanting to sign this petition that were wanting to get get involved, to go out and motivate other people. Take a listen to what the spokesperson for the group told me people are going doortodoor in their neighborhood. People are tabling outside of their Favorite Local coffee shops. This is not something that appeals to only democrats that republicans, independence, women, and their loved ones believe in this and want want to see this on the ballot now i also talked to the group. It goes too far and theyre saying exactly that this Ballot Measure goes too far, that they dont believe voters are being educated on the language of this Ballot Measure. But overall, this is a community that really is looking forward to november for because they believe that this is an issue that will be on the ballot in the meantime, you have Abortion Providers here for already struggling who say this is a huge issue for them. I spoke to one of the providers who told me shes one of eight people who perform abortions here in arizona. She says she was angry and frustrated and look, this ban actually a calls for a prison time for Abortion Providers. So they would be directly impacted by this, the provider that i talked to told me i know im not going to go to jail because thats not what im going to be doing over the next couple of months, but i will continue to fight. She wants to stay here in arizona and said this is a fight that will exceed pass november drawing thats a very real issue for a lot of people on the ground there now, Camila Bernal.

That is how prosecutors are portraying it. And this morning, former Us Ambassador accused of spying for cuba returns to court to finalize his plea deal and be sentenced manuel rocha is expected to plead guilty today for conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government. The us Attorney General says, this case was one of the quote, Ghest Reaching and lgest lasting infiltrations of the us vernmenty a reign agent. Cnncarlos suarez is in miamouide of theourthouse for us we are expecting a plea deal today. What can you tell us law, sarah, good morning. Thats exactly right. So we we expect the 73 yearold in federal court here with his attorneys or later this afternoon. Ill where he is expected to tell the court that he is changing his plea from not guilty to guilty. And in exchange, we expect that federal prosecutors will drop several of the charges against manuel russia. He was facing seeing a number of charges, including being an agent, an illegal agent of a foreign government, wire fraud, and lying to investigators. Now the details of the Plea Agreement are still not known, and it is still a mystery at this hour. Exactly just how russia helped the cuban government while he worked at the State Department four over two decades. The details really were not laid out in the indictment against him, though prosecutors did stress that roshan held a top level high Security Clearance and that he had access to top secret information aza, the Us Ambassador to bolivia and the early 2000s, as well as when he worked at the us interests section in havana, cuba, back in the early 1990 these ill prosecutors believed that russia acted on behalf of the cuban government sets at least 1981. Though it is important to note here that he was not charged she has not been charged with espionage. All of this really came to a head in december when he was arrested after undercover fbi employees opposed as members of the cuban intelligence services, and they messaged allegedly Message Rochelle on whatsapp, trying to make contact with him the two sides met here in miami where they had a number of conversations where russia, according to prosecutors explained how he was this Career Service deploy hello, matt, and also held this cover as apparently a an agent of the cuban government. Throughout their conversations here to miami, a russia at several times times have said that the work that he had done strengthen the revolution, he referred to the us as the enemy, and he had some words of praise for former leader fidel castro. Again, we expect this plea change to take place this afternoon and that he will be sentenced shortly, right after sarah. And you can guess that there will have to be major cooperation on his part to get that Plea Agreement through its 20 years of a diplomat and now this wow, carlos suarez, thank you so much for that story.

They didnt know how capable as we havent, where did they were, proud are so proud of the reverence and younger all or following in our lid. I think thats one of the greatest thing for left behind as what weve done for wellman might remember these floor level words. We can do it what incredible americans, they are. This is just one part in a series of efforts to preserve those womens heroic stories during world war ii john, that was awesome, right . Yeah. All right. Well on the subject of maybe getting what they deserve this morning, some Us Service Members and their families could get a pay raise and other new benefits out its report with a recommendation after looking at the quality of life in the military, this came out after concern during is about recruitment that panel from the House Armed Services committee is led by the Subcommittee Chair Don Bacon of the brassica and the ranking member, Chrissy Houlihan from pennsylvania. They are both with me now and im not going to fly anytime we can speak to a democrat and republican at the same time, i feel like an angel gets its this rep. Houlihan. Let me just start with you. You call ts one of the most exciting in days of the 118th congress that might not be sh a high bar, but be that as it may. Are you so excited . Whats in what we have to celebrate this, thiss, as you ntioned, an example of us at our best working together, democrats and republicans its serve us and who are willing to die fous, those Men And Women who are in uniform. And this isnt really exciting culmination of nine months worth of Work Together report that is expansive. You mentioned pay, but it also is spousal employment. Its also childcare. Its health care. Its how using access, all of those things that allow for us to honor correctly those who serve us every dayn unorm. And im ve, very excited about the opportunities to follow through on is now jeremyacon, what else n this in when do you ink you can get pass through to identify a problem we have a t of our listen lks around barracks, e dormitors are getting failing grades are spouses or the leading demographic in america for being being unemployed. I just go on and on. So what we recommended was a 15 pay raise for y1hrough y4, significant pay rates that will get them above that threshold. So they wont have to rely on snap or food banks and were gonna put a lot of money into dormitories and barracks the military has been subtracting 5 from their Housing Allowance i dont think thats right. We authorize it, allowed it to happen. Were going to shut the door on that and make sure that people are getting 100 of their Housing Allowance. Were going to work on daycare. I try get moving more workers there so we can have 100 occupancy there right now, were limited by how many people are working. Were going to work on Health Care People shouldnt have to wait two months to give specialty care. For example, were gonna continue to work with their Chambers Of Commerce to help get our spouses employed for those who want to be right when they do a new move. So theres a lot of things in this report and im excited to be a part of it by the way, i want to praise my my coleader here, across houlihan and stuff. Fantastic job. It was a total parson effort and were very proud of it. So i mean, i can think of a day not long ago where you guys would come on this morning and it would be a sure thing that this would get passed through i dont know what a sure thing is anymore unnecessarily in congress. So rep. Houlihan, how confident are you that you can get all these measures . Grew pretty darn confident and let me tell you why that nda, which is the annual Defense Authorization act, has happened consistently for more than six its decades and thats one of the very few i cant even name another piece of legislation where that is the case. And so i have hope it going in that we have opportunities, but also our chairman and our ranking member. Both democrats and republicans have supported the work of this panel and has committed that it will go in and basically as the founding body or the grounding work of this years nda. And thats a huge commitment. I got a chance to present it to our caucus yesterday. The preliminary founding phat findings of it, and i think it was very well received when youre talking about people who are on snap benefits as, as don mentioned, who are unemployed at the rate of 20 something percent. I think it really resonated its with people particularly at this time when we are in peril, i think from a National Security standpoint, look, were lucky. We got you both together this morning, not just because youre a democrat and republican because you actually have a vote on an important rule in just a few minutes, it has to do with three authorizing the fisa surveillance. Chevron bacon to you look, i mean, this rule got sunk the other day and on the subject of things that almost never happened, that used to almost never happened. How much control do you think that speaker johnson has over your conference this morning well, the norms have been degraded. Unfortunately for 15 years. I believe weve never had a rule vote go down when you had a majority of the majority for a speaker, youve never taken how the speaker we never had to vacate the chair thats happened. Now we have folks campaigning against each other. The norms have been violated here and i dont think its been good for the institution probably its not good for either party frankly. I think today that were bringing this bill back up its needed. I believe that people were confused between southern to fisa versus article one five so two different things. We need to have fisa to track Foreign Terrorists to know what putin is doing, what present gits doing, its in our National Security interests that we get this done we builtin 51 additional protections to protect folks Fourth Amendment rights. So this is a better bill is a good bill. We need to get it done by once he majority and the end with a one seat majority with 218 or 219 boats is very tough to keep control. This conference. I think speaker johnson is doing the very bustos. Can qarrah just very quickly, you said people are confused about what the fisa 702 does. Do you think theyre confused because donald trump tweeted yesterday that fisa devin o2 is used to spy on him when it wasnt 702 at all i think there was a bit of that. He was referring to actually article one fisa, which is different and i figured it was a chance for us to educate everyone. Seven up to pfizer is targeting foreign enemies, adversaries. Article one is used by the fbi, or doj for investigations and i think it is confusing because they both have the word fisa and so i feel like weve cleared that up, but im not sure how this vote will go under what all im voting thats all i can worry about this bell must pass it. Its essential. Go on ive just was saying that this bill of must pass. Im a member of the Intelligence Committee and this has been the bulk of the work of this committee. This last year or so and im very worried grade that we are not going to be able to vote for the bill. And so im looking forward for the opportunity for it to finally cross the finish line the fourth time is the charm. I hope. All right. I represented a bag and in rep. Houlihan really, i cant thank you. Both for coming on and talking about this bipartisan effort are doing for us troops. Thank you so much for being here thank you. Thank you it is nice to see cooperation for wants. Thank you, john. All right. An alarming warning from the cdc as Measles Cases continue to surge, the disease by the way, has been considered eliminated here in the for more than two decades but that could soon change because of these recent spikes in cas across the entire country, cnns Jacqueline Howard is join now, jacqueline, what is ing on . Sar, that is the big question here. O far this yearweve seen more than 10 Measles Cases rerted across the country. This is in 17 differenstates and new yk city. And as you said, in the year 2000, we eliminated the measles rus he in the, that was a Huge Public Health chi menn, we were ableo do that because of high vaccination coverage. But cently, weve seeclines in vaccinations, many outbreaks are occurring and pockets of communities with low vaation rates and just this week, Health Officials warned we neo do more to make sure people are getting vaccinated to rapidly investate new cases. Because sarah, according to thcdc, it for measles Tbreak Ctinues for a year or more we coul lose our eliminaon stas. Anthats whatconcerning here. Were onlin the month of april for this year and we already have 113 cases in the United States. Thats way re more than what we saw in all of last year when there were 58 total cases for 2023 another thing that puts this i perspective from 2020 to 24, there were about 300 Measles Cases here in the 29 of all of those cases. So almost a third occurred jt recently in the firsquarteof thiyear, Dnearly A Peop who arenvaccited or didnknow their vaccination status, sah and we know the meass, Mumps Andubella Vaccine is 97 effective agait the Measles Virus thats why its somportant to make sure that we he that high vcination coverage across the country. Sara yeah. It sounds like its the vacciniors that is the ma issue here. People sista ive heard but if people having measles, parties for their kids, but kids can get really, really, really sick. D i dont ink people realize just h b it is. How should they be protecting themselves . Is there Anything Else . Yeah. I mean, it can be deadly and really getting vaccinated is the most important thg. And als have a young child whos not u vaccinated symptoms that are cold, like fever, or that signaturs, rash. Sarah all right. Jqueline howard. Thank u so much for that update john all right.

And his statement was they we the press was one not so much about this, bu about my whole reputation on my whole life. And in effect, he wanted me to act as a Character Witness for him. And once he was acquitted in that tri, he led a bit of life. Moved to flora. Of course, that he waund liable in a civil suit, but kidnappi, armebbery, las there.

Trump is stoking fear is that christianity is under attack and only he can save us. But no one will be touching the cross of christ under the Trump Administration to use christianity to control that.

When you say christianity is under Atck Iamerica youre talking about in the schools that not so much in the schools, but just i just cant come up with anything right now. But i think the biggest thing is i just dont trust you biden. Some of these fears are fueled by misinformation and what the hell was biden thinking when he declared Easter Sunday to be trans visibility day . International trends, Gender Visibility day takes place every year on march 31st. This year, Easter Sunday also happened to fall on that day i think more of that christians are going to be discriminated against under biting or second, how, what do you mean by that . By making yesterday . Day, which was the worldwide perished and celebration of the resurrection transgender de, that was quite a slap in the face. I, will just say that the days theyve hired, the trans awareness day on the same days the past few years that just happened that this year it fell on on Easter Sunday. Thank you for correcting me. I appreciate that. So do you understand it better now . Okay. Yeah, i do. Love trans cancers and he wants them to contact him to but not everyone is open to accepting facts.

I tnk we are at risk of teible violence, increasing violence in this country. And thats the rhetoric that were hearing a lot weull loud mouth, Mega Pictures Ileaning us towards theossibity of noholdsbarred warfare, who we really do think that auracy is at stake in the selection and sa, look, obviously theres nothinwrg with being a christn, nothing wrong with being a patriot but rely what these pastors are concerned about is that politians trump some of his prominen of orrs as you saw, the are weapozing peoples christianity and peoples patriotismn a way that can promote discriminati, that can promote the be less willing of other religions. I should point out that pretty much mostly peop we spoke to there that day, although they said christiana, he has apeal place in american ciety. Ty they still said they believ in freedom of religion, but obviously as Youan Seethere are the extreme elements of this as well. Lets say Ristianity Shod be the natial rigion.

John wre are we have excsive first look at how mexico is trying to stop Illal Immigrion in the united ates. Officials thersay they have se excessively deed migtion b10 since december and part because they establish checkpoints and Pansion Camps at some of the biggest and busiest entry points. Seen as david culver got to tor those entry sites himself, david is with us now. What have you seen . Hey john, we d heard over the past few months that some of these numbers were dropping comes to cnters the us it your point, we wted to see who that firsthand and get a really better understanding as to what was really sparky in tha stronger implemention of Border Policy and it interestinwhere we found it. Its Heren The Next ko side id National Guards truck park. Weve g mexican Army National guard as well as Migration Officis who have stepped up patrols a significant amount. Now, what are they trying to do on the mexico side and particularly well you have images like this and we can show you what we saw yesterday. Large crowds that as you see in some of the drone footage, are between two massive walls, we should point out there already the us so theyve aeady crossed from mex mexican officials have stepped up where the put some of these National Guard troops were theyve put some of the mexicaarmy soldier first as well as Migration Officials start deterring some of these migrants from crossing a lot of them will cut using smugglers some portions of the wall so that they can then go through or theyll climb over using ladders and they can do this on average in about a minute, 20 seconds. Now, what weve also seen is some increased frustration im part of mexican residents, people who live on the border, and certainly weve seen that on the us side, weve covered that in San Diego County where people who have property that goes right up to the border with mexico oh, are seeing the floods of migrants come through . Well, on the mexican side, here we have found that same frustration and i want to show you some of these images. Youll see some National Guards members from the mexican side who had been called to patrol neighborhoods. So imagine just regular suburban communities. And this was one of those where you have smugglers who will come at all hours and theyre often cartel back. And they will drop off groups of migrants who will then go through these neighborhoods and go on to peoples patios into their backyards and then jumped the fence to get into the us. So they have now john troops going through these neighborhoods to patrol and stop these smugglers from coming through in for now, it seems the numbers are showing that its seeming to work even called. Great to have you there in an interesting new formative perspective from where youre standing and t1. Thank you very much. Sarah. All right. You may like this, john, i know youll like this nearly a third of us companies are weighing, adopting for de, work weeks to help combat employee burnout. That is according to a new survey of us ceos, cnns matt egan is joining us now. With details i am. So happy to see you on this very subject. So seriously, when you look at the survey, will that translate it . Into the potential of really having a threeday weekend potentially, maybe sarah, i mean, it does sound pretty nice. I mean, think about how much more time there would be to spend time with friends and family, Run Errands Bibi weekends would actually feel relaxing and we do know that a lot of companies, they are desperate right now to attract talent. It also keep the workers they have before they get burned out. And so maybe thats why this kpmg survey found that 30 of ceos of Large Companies say they are exploring shifts in schedule, including a four de, or fourandahalf de work week to try to address burnout and listen, bosses would not need to sell employees on this day. Love this idea. Theres a gallup poll found 70 cent of us workers. They are very positive. They support the idea of a fourday work week and 40 hours over the course of the week, four days that includes were talking about 46 who are extremely positive. So its hard to get 77 of americans who agree. But anything, but they are on board with this idea. And i talked to kpmg ceo paul knopp, end. He said, listen, we should probably tap the brakes a little bit. He said fourday workweek is probably not imminent. He thinks that yes, companies are going to experiment here, but he doesnt think that this is something that is going to happen the very near term, but there is some research out there in europe and the us. It does suggest that fourday work weeks, theyd benefit worker wellbeing and productivity in the biggest trial in the world its held in the uk after year, the vast majority of companies that try to fourday workweek, they stuck with it. A majority of those companies, they actually adopted it
